THE YOUNG LADIES' LYCEUM.

The exhibition given by this association last Thursday evening was one of the features of Rensselaer to which our can refer to with pride. The Court House was crowded; all could not be seated, and the audience was held during an exceedingly warm and oppressive night until eleven o’clock —so interesting and amusing were the performances. The dialogues were spoken with vigor and animation, and the reading of tlhe Bolton Garland showed that our fair young friends have attained a higli degree'in the literary scale. . We are proud of the"ypung] ladies of Rensselaer,-for their intelligence and ftQguty —they are far above the young men in refinement and the accomplishments that contribute to make life happy; and it is to be hoped they will enter the missionary 7 field, and endeavor to raise the young men ot Rensselaer to their Standard of excellence. This they can do by blandishments which they know so well how to use when occasions require.
