Well fare ye, sisters
Gently bespeak them, winds and, flowers,
Who hold your tasseled grace to the winds swayng
Look them kindly; and ye showers,
Fall dew upon them down the heaven playing,
Sunbeams scarcely dazzle Thorn sad moon,
That seest a sadder moon in the still lake
And yc bright stars, that hide We at the noon,
And in tho evening still do quantity make
Least spring your mirror, and least restless ri--
Sing, shine; but give them utter joy. All mild,
All gontlest minstrelsy of nature, wild
Wind sweet sweetest flower soOn-gathered rain still
Sunbeams falling swift, sad moon, bright stars,
do | not hear jOying from the choirs
Of nature p my dear sisters love ye we'll
D God, my sisters are thy children, Take,
Oh, take, and lead them by thy holy hand
Asleep, enbrcathe the spirit of sweet dreams
into their hearts; and at each days awaking
When they wake train of womanly graccs
freshly tricked, bid pay their gentle tendance 10
Icquit them lastly of this mortal foil;
hall sin drop off them garb outworn
10 Death with enforced hand shall gently touch
Their perfect spirits to eternal life
80 gently touch them to eternal bliss

Professor Bates, of Boston, took an early OPP
portunity to inquire, What is Education! He
said that discipline ID ttitutes the gist of Edu-
cation. Let us see. What is discipline? IL
relates more especially to tho training of the
mental powers, enabling the individual to walk
the line as marked by those who control his
education. The soldier is disciplined, and Edu.
cation thus applied to physical evolutions is
analogous to that mental education which is
eomprehended in the term discipline. Thus,
according to Professor Bates, the student
should be taught or trained to "toe the mark"
morally and intellectually, which his betters
may describe for HIM. His individuality as an
independent thinker and a sovereign individual
IS to be merged in tie Journalism and faith of
his teachers! No, not 3d. This is not Educa.
ton il is peryersion. lie proceeded to saw that
man must be morally as well as physically
educated-a very trite saying, good enough and
true enough; but what ali are aiming at,
through physical education, is far the most
neglected Owing 10 this defect our colleges
turn out many moral invalds and intellectual
dyspeptics Bat continues Mir. Bates, physical
education alone fits men only for the offices Of
