EBOEYEe ".

The following beautiful and touching lines we
written by Mr. l.. L. ADAMS, on the occasion o. /
sudden death, by falling into vessel OF DOM
water, of young daughter Of Gen CHASE
Lyndon.
Ye have seen the rose of morning,
Opening to your rayish'd view;
And the pumcless bud adjoining
Home, from which il could not n.y.
We have seen the infant sleeping,
On the pillow nature gave;
Whilst a mothers eye is keeping
ViciIs that would rob the grave.
Look at eve--ihut rose is faded,
Resting where its shadow play d;
All its folded petals shaded,
With the hues that death has made.
See, how soon that bind has started,
On its wanderngs through The all;
All the lovd, from which it parted,
Could not bind its pioions there.
Thus that infant leaves your aumbor,
Yo have laid her form TO rest;
But the spirit, free from sIumber,
Has mansion with the bIcst.
And that rest will soon be broken,
BY the scraph'sholy song
From the sky the word is spoken,
Darkness cannot hold her long,
Ger the grave an eye is bending,
Eye that saw her beauty here,
In its kindling vision blending
Purity, that Doath must fear.
See her rising, all immortal,
From the folds that hide her charms;
Lo that saint from heavens bicst portal,
Flies to bear her in her arms.
Back in glory far ascending,
Waited through celestial air;
With unnumbercd harps attending,
Gains the Throne, and seats her there.
From the throng in bliss excelIing,
Angels bring the now attire;
Then with wondrous music swelling,
Loud she joins JrOther'st Tyre.
Crowns before that Throne are shining,
Than the diamond brighter far,
Seraphs guzo, in vain divining,
What those matchless jewels ure.
Murmur not;-your Gods preparing,
These immortal diadens;
Which ere long, may you he wearing,
Flashing with HIS living gems.
Those on earth we wish'd to cherish,
Each may light parents brow;
Ah-their beauty canno: perish:
They arc blissful jewels now.
Hank they sing in seraph measures,
From the realm they call their home;
Here are everduring treasures
Parents, sisters brothers-come,

LONDON UNIVERSITY.

There being no University IN England
to which Disseners from the established
church were admissible, movement was
made several years sine to supply this de-
fciency. Funds were subscribed, u building
was erected, and an institution organized
under The title University of London. The
building was located in The northwestern
part Of the town near Regents Park. The
design consists Of central par: and two
projecting wings. The first portion only
OF. this is at present finished. It exends
from North to South 430 feet, with depth
of abou 200 feet. This building furnishes
lecture rooms, library and the like, with no
residences ether for Professors or students.
London University is nearly on the plan Of
the medical schools in the United States,
which indeed do not differ greatly from
sGermll. Universities, where both professors
and uleHs reside IN 10 Sn, he University
simply furnishing Iibra,y and lecur rooms.
The foundations of the building were lalG
in 1927. Since HAT time its friends have
been constantly struggling to obtain an act
ofincorporatan from Parliament, out hth,
erto wi.hou success. Tie institution las no
authority 10 confer degrees, nor can It's
students obtain degrees elswhere. This
circumstance has probably limi;ed is use
tuness, and the institution has not succeed.

The number Of students has not been great,
though they never publish their numbers.
They are however not discouraged. The
House of Commons have manifested some
disposition to give it countcnance. !. Is

Young, it is hardly to be e. pected that any
great attainmen:s will be made.
