The main feature of the evening was now due.
Original "compositions" by the young ladies. Each in her turn stepped forward to
the front of the platform, cleared her throat, held up her manuscript (tied with
a coloured ribbon), and proceeded to read, with fixed attention to "expression"
and punctuation.
The themes were the same that had been spoken about on similar occasions by
their mothers before them, their grandmothers and, without doubt, all their
ancestors in the female line as far back as the Crusades.
"Friendship" was one, "Memories of Other Days", "Religion in History", "Dream
Land", "The Advantages of Culture", "Forms of Political Government Compared and
Contrasted", "Melancholy", "Filial Love", "Heart Longings," etc., etc.
A prevalent feature in these compositions was a focused melancholy and sadness.
Another was an overuse of "fine language". Another was a tendency to use
particularly prized words and phrases until they were worn out entirely, and
something that was more annoying than all this was the inclusion of a religious
lesson that was at the end of each one of them.
No matter what the subject might be, all effort was made to squeeze it into some
aspect or other that the moral and religious mind could morally contemplate. The
obvious insincerity of these sermons has never been, nor perhaps never will be,
enough reason not to hear them in schools.
There is no school in all the country where the young ladies do not feel an
obligation to close their compositions with a sermon. And you will find that the
sermon of the most frivolous and the least religious girl in the school is
always the longest and the most relentlessly pious.
But enough of this. The truth is sometimes hard to hear.
Let us return to the "Examination." The first composition that was read was
called "Is this, then, Life?"
Perhaps the reader can suffer to read part of it:
"In the common walks of life, with what delightful emotions does the youthful
mind look forward to some anticipated scene of festivity!
Imagination is busy sketching rose-tinted pictures of joy. In fancy, the
voluptuous votary of fashion sees herself amid the festive throng, 'the observed
of all observers.' Her graceful form, arrayed in snowy robes, is whirling
through the mazes of the joyous dance; her eye is brightest, her step is
lightest in the gay assembly.
"In such delicious fancies time quickly glides by, and the welcome hour arrives
for her entrance into the Elysian world, of which she has had such bright dreams.
How fairy-like does everything appear to her enchanted vision! Each new scene is
more charming than the last. But after a while she finds that beneath this
goodly exterior, all is vanity, the flattery which once charmed her soul, now
grates harshly upon her ear; the ball-room has lost its charms; and with wasted
health and imbittered heart, she turns away with the conviction that earthly
pleasures cannot satisfy the longings of the soul!"
And so forth and so on. There were some noises of gratification from time to
time during the reading, and occasional whispers of "How sweet!" "How eloquent!"
"So true!" etc., and after the thing had closed with a peculiarly afflicting
sermon the applause was enthusiastic.
Then a slim, melancholy girl stood up, whose face had the "interesting" paleness
that’s caused by pills and indigestion, and read a "poem." Two verses of it will
be enough:
"A MISSOURI MAIDEN'S FAREWELL TO ALABAMA
"Alabama, good-bye! I love you so much! But for a while I leave you now! Sad,
yes, sad thoughts of you my heart explodes, And burning memories trouble me! I
have wandered through your flowery forests; I have walked and read near
Tallapoosa's stream; I have listened to Tallassee's floods, And loved on Coosa's
side Aurora's beam.
"But I am not ashamed and have a full heart, I do not blush behind my tearful
eyes; It’s from no stranger land I now must leave, it’s to no strangers left I
give these sighs. Welcome and home were mine within this State, whose valleys I
leave, whose churches fade fast from me and cold must be my eyes, and heart, and
tete, when, dear Alabama! they turn cold on thee!"
There were very few there who knew what "tete" meant, but the poem was very
satisfactory, nevertheless.
Next, a dark-skinned, black-eyed, black-haired young lady appeared, who paused
for an impressive moment, put on a tragic expression, and began to read in a low,
solemn tone:
"A VISION"
Dark and tempestuous was night.
Around the throne on high not a single star quivered; but the deep
intonations of the heavy thunder constantly vibrated upon the ear; whilst the
terrific lightning revelled in angry mood through the cloudy chambers of heaven,
seeming to scorn the power exerted over its terror by the illustrious Franklin!
Even the boisterous winds unanimously came forth from their mystic homes, and
blustered about as if to enhance by their aid the wildness of the scene.
"At such a time, so dark, so dreary, for human sympathy my very spirit sighed;
but instead thereof, "'My dearest friend, my counsellor, my comforter and guide.
My joy in grief, my second bliss in joy,' came to my side. She moved like one of
those bright beings pictured in the sunny walks of fancy's Eden by the romantic
and young, a queen of beauty unadorned save by her own transcendent loveliness.
So soft was her step, it failed to make even a sound, and but for the magical
thrill imparted by her genial touch, as other unobtrusive beauties, she would
have glided away un-perceived, unsought. A strange sadness rested upon her
features, like icy tears upon the robe of December, as she pointed to the
contending elements without, and bade me contemplate the two beings presented."
This nightmare occupied some ten pages of manuscript and ended with a sermon so
destructive of all hope to the non-religious that it took the first prize. This
composition was considered to be the very finest effort of the evening.
The mayor of the village, in giving the prize to the author of it, made a warm
speech in which he said that it was by far the most "eloquent" thing he had ever
listened to, and that Daniel Webster himself might well be proud of it.
It may be said, in passing, that the number of compositions in which the word "beauteous"
was overused, and human experience referred to as "life's page," was well above
the usual average.
Now the teacher, as content as he could be, put his chair aside, turned his back
to the audience, and began to draw a map of America on the blackboard, to test
the geography class.
But he made a mess of it with his unsteady hand, and laughter began to spread
around the schoolhouse. He knew what the problem was, and tried to correct it.
He rubbed out lines and redrew them, but he only distorted them more than ever
and made the map worse. The laughter was now noticeably louder.
He threw all of his attention into his work, now, as if determined not to be
made a fool of. He felt that all eyes were fixed on him. He imagined he was
succeeding, but the laughter continued. It even increased.
And for good reason! There was a small cupboard above the blackboard, it had
doors, but they were partly open and out of this cupboard came a cat, suspended
around the legs by a string. She had some cloth tied around her head and mouth
to stop her meowing and making a noise.
She slowly descended lower and lower. She tried to reach the string with her
claws and then clawed at the air. The laughter increased and the cat was within
six inches of the teacher's head. Down and down she came, a little lower, until
she reached his wig with her desperate claws, clung to it, and was immediately
lifted back up into the cupboard with her prize still in her possession!
And how the light reflected brightly from the teacher’s bald held, because the
sign-painter's son had painted it gold!
That broke up the meeting. The boys were avenged. Summer holidays had arrived
... to be continued!
