Cauieh in Little Rock rkansassg We Eincerely re-
gret this second loss to the University. The Rev.
Mr. Shipp, most excellent and learned gentleman
had just resigned the Professorshp of History to &c
cept Of a moro desirable Presidency of Literary
institution in South Carolina. And now the Uni
yesity is to lose one whose labors told with mani-
fest effect upon the public eye for the compliments
bestowed upon the graduates and other students at
their public exercises, show that he was emincntly
successful in teaching Elocution and Composition.
We learn that there has been great improvement
in those respects, as is particularly manifested on
that event in College life known. as "thc Senior
speaking" when all of the Graduating Class are
quired publicly to dcclailn speeches of their own
composition. There is another particular in which
the Institution will be great loser. We hardly
know how to allude to the loss of Lady from such
a place but one who in the habit of watching
By the sick beds OF young men who were far away
from the nursing of their own mothers-one
who thus became a mother to them, having no in
ducement thereto but genuine womany feeling
must not allow her delicacy to be shocked by pub
lie ansion to her deeds of love. Many such cases
have We heard Of beginning soon after the Doctors
coming to the University. First she took the i'll
Youths to her own house. and minstercd to the ne
cssites Of their fevered frames sometimes for many
weeks at a time. Finally her example induced the
Trustees to erect very neat Infrmary on one cor
ner of the Doctors lot within 100 feet of the dwell
ing, to which the sick have been removed from the
noise and confusion of their doratories iii the Col
lego buildings, and where they could receive the
same kind of nursing as in the Doctors house. We
cln conceive of no more beautiful exhibition of wo-
mans nature than this. \ mother naturally cares
for her own sick children, and often will bestow such
cares upon the children of her friends; but seldom
ind ed upon the utter stranger perhaps the reckless
boz whose only claim is that he is somebody son,
and that somebody is not near to perform the pa
rents duty. "Let me kiss him for his mothers
sake" said a New Orleans lady of youth who lay
dead before her and whose mother was in his ma
tive New England unconscious of her bereavement.
Let me nurse him for his mothers sake, has even
more of wo,,.an'S nature in it.

WATERING pLAcEs-As the heats of summer ap-

The Sorth-CaLona Springs are well known, and

the Virginia Springs is also given.
