When the uneasy waves OF life subslde,
Aud the soothed ocean sleeps In CLASSY resi-
/ zee, submerged beyond or storm or tide
The treasures gathered in its greedy breast
There still they shine, through the translucent past,
Far down on that forever quiet iioorj
10 fierce upheaya of the deep shall cast
Them back-no wave shall wssh them TO the shore
saw them cleaning, beautiful as when
Erewhile they aoated, conveys Of my fate
The banks Of lovely women noble men,
Fnll-sailed with hope, and stored with loves own
freight
The sunken ventures of my heart as well
Look up 10 me, as perfect as at dawn :,
My golden palace heayes beneath the swell
To meet my touch, and is again withdrawn
There sleep the early triumphs. cheaply won,
That led ambition TO his utmost verge,
And still his Visions like drowning sun,
Send up receding splendors through the surge!
There wait The recognitions, the quick ties,
Whence the heart knows its kin, wherever cast;
And there the partings, when the wistful eyes
Caress each other as they look their last
There lie the summer ewes, delicious ewes,
The soft green valleys drench with light divine,
The lisping murmurs Of the chestnut leaves,
The hand that lay, the eyes that looked IN minel
There lives the hour Of fear and rapture yet,
The peril climax Of the passionate years;
There Still the ruins of wan December wet
A naked mound--I cannot see for tears
There they are all they do not fade or waste,
Tapped in the arms of the embalming brine;
More fair than when their beings mine embraced,
Ofnobler aspect, beauty more divinel
! zee them all, but stretch my hands in vain
No deep-sea plummet reaches where they rest;
No cunning diver shall descend the main
And bring single jewel from its breast

PKEsIDENT WAYLAKp.-The Boston
Waterman, after announcing the resigna-
tion of the Rev. DR.. Wayland, os President
of Brown University, says
During his long administration, DR..
Wayland has been enabled to achieve a
reputation for moral and intellectual great
ness, of which the lofliest aspirant for fame
might well be proud. That he should not
Withdraw from the cares and responsible
ties of his high station, in The full vigor OF
al! his powers, in order to find in retirement
more ample leisure for the prosecution of
his intellectual labors, is not surprising.
We trust that his mantle may fail on a
worthy successor, and one who shall fully
sustain the important interest confded to
tho executive head of Brown University.

A USEFUL LADY IN THE CAMP.-A lady
Of color in Balaklava, and occasionally in
camp (writcs the special correspondent OF
the London Morning Advertiser in the Cri-
mea) is quite an original in her way; and
an amusing specimen of the adaptabi!ity to
circumstances OF tho darker specimens OF
the genus homo. She is both a Miss
Nightingale and Soyer in hor way. a
native Of Jamaica, she has travelled ex'en-
sively Oh the American continent, and has
acquired great experience in the treatment
OF cholera and diarrhea. Her powders for
the latter epidemic are now 80 renowned
that she is constantly beset with applica-
tions, and il must be stated, to her honor.
that she makes no charge for her powders.
She is often seen riding out to the front
with baskets of medicines Of her own pre-.
paration, and this is particularly the case
after an engagement with the enemy. Hcr
culinary powers are also very great, that
even Soyer told her the other day she
knew as much about cooking as himself.
Mrs. Seucole is, moreover, highly inteli-
gent woman.

The lecture as announced in your Pap
er, of Prof J. Lehwcss, on the Analogy Of
the Latin, French, and English languages,
was delivered by him, on Tuesday last, in
the Lecture Room of The Unitarian Church.
The laws unconsciousy y observed by the
French in changing the forms and the
pronunciation OF the words they derived
from the Latin, and the laws observed by
the English in taking words directly from
the same source, or through the medium of
the French, if well understood, would
greatly facilitate the labor of English and
American scholars in learning the Latin
and French languages.
Professor l.. gave several examples of
these changes, and thus Afforded an Illus
traton OF this system in requiring the above
named languages. The student, however,
requires something more than brief lee
ture. He needs book in which the laws
shall be clearly stated, fully illustrated, and
opportunities afforded him to make himself
familiar with them, by independent inves-
tigation. Such book well prepared,
would add much to the facilities our students
already ENJOY. X.

"YoU FoRGor Ne. "A Joke is told at
The expense of one of our church-going
citizens, who is the father OF an interesting
amily Of children, and among them a
brighi-eyed boy Numbering four or five
summers, the pet OF the household, and
unanimously voted the drollest little mis-.
chief alive. On Saturday nigh. he had
been bribad to keep peace and retire an
hour earlier than usual, with the promise on
the morrow he might go with the family to
church. On Sunday morning il was found
inconyenient to put the youngstcr through
the regular course of washing and dressing
necessary for his proper appearance at the
sanctuary, and the family slipped off with
out him. They had not, however, more
han become comfortably seated in their
pew, when in walked the youngster with
nothing on but night wrapper and cloth
cap. "You forgot me-" SAID he in tone
loud enough to be heard all over the church.
