And what can he aid about her? Why, this:
She has often come before The people OF Vms,-
MIA TO ask for fund to endow her fully, but no,
being skilled in the art Of begging, she has never
succeeded. She now comes forward asain-but
not 10 beg. Heretofore she has asked, bat pro-
missed nothing in return; now she asks The nIi-
yilege Of comforting a full equivalent for every
favor the public may show her. How she pro-
poses 10 do il, may be seen from what follows:
The Board Of Trustees, al their late meeting
on The 10Th June, passed an acl creating and es-
abishing twelve hundred scholarships, which
are 10 be sold to subscribers for The low price Of
one hundred dollars each. The purchaser OF
rich, Of scholarship may secure Tor himself, il
he desires Il, and Tor his sons also, iull course
of collegiate instruction, without further charge
!or tuition. II he has no sons, he may nominate
a succession oi scholars for twenty years, or he
may assign his right, and The assignee may no.
inmate. II he is afterwards blessed with any oil
The "llle responsibilities, he shall have The same
rights he would have been entitled 10 for his sons,
had no scholar been nominated. These rights
are not transferable by purchasers who have
sons, unless these sons are already educated, or
are no longer minors: in this case they may no.
inmate or transfer as others. The funds thus
raised are 10 be invested in State or U. S. Co
yernmenl stocks, aud the ineres: faithfully ap-
propriated TO The payment Of the Faculty. NO
other disposition OF The fund can be made, with
out working its forfeiture. This sum must be
paid on or before August Isl, 1913.
Does this plan need word Of recommends
toni When parent can thus, by the payment
OF so small a sum in advance, secure The tuition
Of all his sons, and save an annual expense Of
iory dollars, al lime when he has to meet all
The other expenses Of sustaining son al college,
does he need 10 be told that very great adyan-
lage is offered TO him. This does mol look much
like begging. Nor can il scarcely wear This as
pect 10 any benevolent single gentleman or lady;
nor ,oIhose who, though married, are so unioru-
nate as 10 have no sons, since il affords fair op-
por,uny for the exercise Of their kindly feelings,
and enables them 10 aid in The education OF hive
This plan affords exactly what has long been
desired BY The friends OF Education, viz: cheap
and thorough instruction. No plan has yet been
offered that renders instruction so cheap and al
the same time secures so thorough training, by

Stand form stand forth We give pledge !;
Rouse brothers, one and all, !.
IT'S cast abroad upon the winds
Our country's gathering call;
And thousands rallied al The sound,
With hearts both strong and true,
As on by glen and flashing stream
The stirring summons flew.
The graudsire, with his silvery locks,
And form bowed down with care,
Tha, from his childh ,od's hour had loved
This land so broad aud iair-
Seemed once again TO feel his veins
Throb with the pulse of youth,
Aud stood erect 10 give The pledge
For Liberty and Truth.
And in the proudesl hour OF strength
Was heard firm manhood's tone:
awe stake our fortunes and our lives,
With them we will atone,
IL we prove false To the high trust
Which all have taken now"
And in the hearts of living men
Was registered that vow.
Ay, Woman, too, with patriot soul,
Came in her bsauly's power;
And with her deep aud thrilling voice
Joined in the VOW that hour;
1--WE give our prayers, our influence,
IT'S all we can bestow;
But what tina, influence can do,
We promise now 10 shcw."
That pledge oh i, was proudly made
And ne'er should be forgot;
To lis fufllment thousands owe
A peaceful, happy lo'.
II thrilled each soul, it nerved each heart,
Amid that noble band;
Unheeding fortune, liie-they saved
Their honor and their land.

its authorship, but in vain. With the all Of \
fair friend we traced il back 10 sermon deliver
ed in 1914 By he Rev. Thomas Rallies, OF Liver
pool, before the Missionary Society, wherein lhr
following passage is found, iu OF Truth and o.
universal love ard charity:
"And whence is il that our brethren in the es-

Bile with them? No; this friendly cooperation;
this union ofparlies this merging OF lesser points,
when we differ into The greater on which we are
agreed, proves that in whatever other respects we
NAV be distinct, yet that this Object is onc, and
that We are enc in its support. Here we realize
the image ot one Of our sweetest poets, and ale
"Distmct AS The pillows, yet enc as The sea! -

Still we were unable 10 satisfy our curiosity,
until the following letter from Charlotte cores

line in dispute is in The beautiful address TO The

subjoin the stanza which it so exqusiiely and
forcibly winds up:

said in your paper concerning toast drunk by
Mr.. R. T. Daniel, OF your city. This toast was,
by various persons, credited to several sources
Mr.. Hammer, Dir. fusion, toast-making COM
mtee in Manchester; and MIR. Daniel himself
refers 10 the Democratic Review as The source
from which he obtained it. Now, gentlemen,
you are all wrong. The real author is The poet
James Montgomery. By referring 10 his poems
YOU will see this line, "Disinct as The pillows.
