THE GREAT SOUTHERN UNlVER
SITN

THE GREAT SOUTHERN UNlVER.
SlTY.
The address of the Board Of Trus-
tees Of the "Univcrsity of the South" ="
to the Southern dioccscs, in reference
to its choice Of the site for the Univer-
sity, is now being delivered through
out the States of this section Of the
Union. We have read it attentively,
and now accord to its clear, brief and
explicit contents the need of well de-
served and high commentator. Our
readers will have, in recollection, our
cordial approval OF the plan to estab-
lsh, under the direction of the Epis-
copaI Church, a Southern University,
accessible to students of every creed,
when it was first broached in this
place, and now that the lands whcre0n
it is to be built are procured, and the
site. Scwauce, selected on the Cum
bcrland plateau, the earnest of the
sincerity Of the highly influential,
wealthy and intelligent denomination
of Christians who have taken the tru-
Iy great work in hand, has been given,
and it only remains for us and others,
each in his own way, to push on the
noble undertaking.
1t is unnecessary to represent to our
readers the necessity that exists for n
university at once metropolitan and
Southern in its character, one which
will secure to the youth of this portion
of the Union an education equal to
any given in the Oldest and most hon
ored of the mother land and Eastern
states, and superior to them in the
facilities it will at all times afford
parents to supervise without much
expense or any Inconvenience to
themselves the moral and intellectual
progress of their sons. Situated in q
country of romantic beauty and un-
surpassed saIubrity, one abounding in
the purest springs and the most varied
mineral waters, accessible at all times
by rail road or the finest lime stone
turnpike roads, and with every attrac-
ton to the traveller .jurneying for
health, recreation or pleasure, Sc
vance offer advantages and attrac-
tions for the establishment of a great
seat of learning not to be surpassed
and certainly not equaled by any uni
versity location in this country or any
portion of Europe with which VIC are
familiar. Here then, at this favored
spot-the Board of Trustees of the
University Of the South have made
their selection, procured their lands
and fixed the site Of their college, and
they now appeal to the public for the
means TO erect the building, procure
its outfit and endow its professorships.
Already its earliest protector and
eloquent advocate, Bishop Polk, of
this diocese, has taken the matter
with his usual energy in hand anu
subscriptions exceeding the sum oi
fifty thousand dollars have been
promptly and cheerfally given. We
cannot doubt that generous, liberal,
intellectual and afiluent Louisiana
will give at least five times this
amount to the great work which ap.
pcIs so powerfully to every true loy'
= lot

THE HAND AND HEART.

To bind our souls in one;
A love unmixed by sordid gain

Bestowed with doubts and fears;
But seek an undivided heart

THE REASON WHY.

Do you wish to know the reason why,
Why your neighbor often calls
On the dashng Widow Wilkins,
And attends her to the balls?
Why his carriage is seen stopping
AT some noted clothing store,
And tho widow goes shopping
Where she never went before?
If you wish it, | will tell you
Let me whisper to you sly
If they esteem i, proper,
1t is not your business why.
Do you wish to know why Peter
Has forsakcn friends and home,
And left his native country,
In a distant land to roam?
Why Polly seems SO lonely
Since the day that Peter left,
And of all friends. the only,
Should appear to be bcrcIt?
l(you wish it, will tell you---
Let me whisper to you sly
If they have reason for it,
it is not your business why.
Would you like to know the secrets
OF your neighbor's house and life!
How he lives, or how he doesn't,
And just how he treats his wife?
How ho spends his lime Of leisure,
Whether sorrowCul or gay,
And where he goes for pleasure,
To the concert, or the play?
# you wish will tell you
Let me whisper toy you sly
your neighbor is but civil,
1t is not your business why.
In short instead Of prying
Into other folks affairs,
Ifyou do your own but Justice
You viii have no time for theirs.
Be attentive to such matters
As concern yourself alone,
And whatever fortune llatters,
Let your business be your own.
One word by way Of fnis--
Let me whisper to you sly
If you wish to be respected
You must cease TO pry.

1t is law of nature, that man can

Man is created a social being-it is

THE PLEASURE OF BEING YOUNG
Bulwcr, in some of his writings, ey
presses it as his deliberate opinion tho
no enjoyment Of manhood, no realization
Of mature years, compensate for the los
Of youth. Richard Henry Stoddard ha
given poetic form to the same truth, i
the following lines:
There are gains for all our losses,
There are balms for all our pain;
But when youth, the dream, departs.
lttakes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.
Wo are stronger, and are better,
Under manh ood's sterncr reign:
Still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth, with dying feet,
And will never como again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
And wo sigh for it in vain
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth, and in the air,
Bu, it never comes again?

Inc news from Europe, per steamer City of

(John Bright men) have gained great conces.
sion in the extension which it is proposed to
make of the elective franchise to the members Of
the learned profession-,to those who have invest

of the more radical of the reformers ignored
this half way concession, and stuck out for the
whole of their demands-of the ultimate success
of which We haYe no more doubt than we have
