BEAUTIFUL ExTRAcr.-Among ships;
there are some which sail for distant lands,
and never reached their haven; among
flowers, there are some which are overta-
ken by un.imely frosts, and never gain
their bloom; among soldiers. there are
some who fall before the campaign is
hardly begun and SO it is with Us. You
have left your happy homes, some of
you thousands of miles, and here with
us have you begun your professional ca
reer. We do not return you all back again.

alone. Fer there is good Providence
that watches around the bed of the dying
student, that softens the footsteps of the
pale Angel of death, that luls the last hour
with tones like distant evening music, 10
him who is falling asleep, and as ties Of
the body and mind break one by one, 50

DEATH OF JUDGE STORY.

1t is with profound regret that we announce
tire death Of Judge Story, the Oldest Of the
Judges Of the Supreme Court Of the United
States,-the wisest eli his associates. and one
of the most learned and respected men OF the
Union. Ordinarily, The loss Of one man in
the great multitude of men, is an event as lit
tie noticed as the most common Occurre nee
Of life. But, the loss Of those who connect
the present with past age-who have dis
pensed wisdom even to the wise, and juds-
ment and justice among all men,-whose
names are housred abroad aud at home, is a
public af1licion.-Judge Story was upon the
Bench thirty-four years, and received the DIS
tnguished honor of his appointment from
Mr. Madison, at the age Of thirty-one. How
well he filled his Office we need not say.
Happily, he has left testimonials Of his integ-
rity and stability, that will live as long as the
country he has served. Judge Story expired
at his residence, in Cambridge. Massachus-
etts, on Tuesday evening, al quarter before
nine o'clock.
The Boston Courier says that his pulse
ceased te beat, and his hands were cold, be-
fore eight, P. Mills disease was stop
page of the intestines, or s,rangulation, The
same disease which ended the life OF Mr..
Legare in this city in 1s43.'
Judge Story was 65 years of age. He
graduated at Harvard University in 1898, and
was appointed to the Judgeship ofthe United
States Court in 1911.
We are grieved to see that thus early the
office, which has been so suddenly vacated,
has become the object Ufzealous scramblins
among those who are aspirants for the place,
and among their friends. The Post, Of last
evening, deyotes nearly column to this sub
jcct, quoting, however mainly from the Hart
ford Times, which paper is eager for the APP
pointme mt of Marcus Morton. We pray, at
least. that the dead may be decently buried
before the public ears are dinnad with these
party appeals in behalf ola party Judge

They were ready to make the sacrifice necess-
airy for the accommodation of men OF color
in the vicinity such is now receiving
his education under their instruction. de-
mand upon them to educate negroes from
other States, who might as well be educated
upon the sell upon which they were born,
was unjust and unreasonable. Burlington,
Williamstown and Amhcrst,to whom a simu-
lar application had been made, had all come
to the same conclusion, and had either re-
fnsed or discouraged their admission into
their walls. By doing so, these Institutions
did not suppose they were compromising
any principle but that they would comprom-
it the interests of the Institutions over which
they were guardians, bad they pursued an
opposite course. We do exceedingly rejoice
andsso should every friend of Middlcbury
College, that the Corporation have had the
wisdom and frmness to keep this Institution
in the hands ofthat portion ofcommunity who
alone are able to sustain it,and not to venture
it to a mere appendage ofthe newfangled abo-
ition party, headed by Birney and Gerrett
Smith, which is rapidly fastening into weak
ness and disrepute. That these pious men
of color. should be educated with the hope
that they would labor for the civilizins and
outstanding of the negro race, we are as
truly DESTROYS as any man living and the
Colleges in the Union should aid them.
But that Middlebury College should subject
herself to all the disadvantages (which public
prejudice would attach to it, should it once
be universally regarded as the favorite resort
of The colored race from all parts of the
Union, even the most Astounding charity
could not expect, land should not desire.
But we cannot conclude this article without
passing remark upon the discourteous and
ungenerous manner in which President Laba-
rec has been treated in this controversy.
No one could have failed to observe that
from the highest to the lowest of the clam
orous in this case, this gentleman has been
singled out as the favorite object of obloquy
and reproach, and yet we have shown that
every opinion which he expresses, and all
that he has done in relation to the reception
of these coIored youth into the College has
been from the beginning beth formally and
unauimouly sanctioned by the Corporation
Nor is it true, as very carefully asserted by
the editor OF the Observer, that there was
any discrepancy of opinion among the faculty
on the subject of admission. All concur in
the belief that the laws of the Institution did
not prohibit the admission of the blacks, the
Corporation.
