We are Informed by the self-styled
Conservatives, that the South was in a
penitent and conciliatory frame ofmind,
when it had FIRST been whipped into sub

however, assures us that the good be-

the result of policy--in other words
was hypocrisy. 1t says: sa,a "o D..

COLLEGE honors, A. MS, D. DIS, LII. DIS,
etc., have become so common that anything
about these titles is personally interesting to
great number of individuals. The CHRISTIAN
Advocate has a good article on this subject from
which we quOte:-
The deerees In the Carts" bachelors and
masters, are probably OF Italian and French
origin, dating from the eleventh or twelfth cen,
tury. Previous to their institution no other
distinctions we're recognized in the schools than
those of master and pupil. The "arts" taught
in the colleges OF the middle ages consisted OF
grammar, logic, rhetoric music, arlthmetlc
geometry, and astronomy, and proficiency IN
the first three was recognized as an honorable
standing OF scholarship, while he who had mas
tered the whole seven was accounted prodigy
| Of learning. The degree OF Bachelor Of Arts"
was instituted by Pope Gregory TX (lZZi 10
| l24l), though the significance Of the name IS
not determined, and both the degrees In the
| arts we're conferred at Oxford as early as the
| middle of the thirteenth century, in much the
| same manner still IN use in the English unIver-
| stiles and among American colleges. Generally
| a tour years course of study in actual attend
| anCe, or IT'S equivalent, asCertalned by eXamr
| nations is eXacted as the condition OF the first
| degree, after which the second is given without
| examinations at the end OF three years longer.
| Entering upon the first degree was called 'Com
| mencement,N and from that fact the anniversary
| occasions, when those degrees are conferred
are usually styled "commencements,n y though
as they usually occur at the end rather than the
beginning OF the collegiate year, to the unini
tiated the name sounds paradoXical.
The degree of doctor originated nearly at the
| same time with the degrees in the arts ThC

many during this period doctor of Law enjoyed
the same privileges as knights and preatee.

Lhe degree OF doctor OF philosophy, and in
England that OF doctor OF music is sometimes

Cambridge" says The authority Just referred to,
''and IN most European universities, a student
who is to receive the degree of doctor has TO
prepare one or more theses, which in Germany
are called inaugural theses. In the United
States the title is conferred upon those OF
en- inent learning or ability in their professions,
without demanding from them any learned
exercise in return" The only question likely
to arise as to this statement is whether the
condition of eminent learning or ability" is
uniformly insisted upon. The degree
of Master of Arts is given ''in course" to all
worthy bachelors of three or four years
standing.
N The degree of Doctor is intended to indicate
an advanced stage of proficiency IN the speci-
atty indicated, attained to by its recipient.
Only two forms OF that degree are much used
by our colleges those of law and divinity Of
these the former is given to indicate, not espe.
cially legal learning but rather general scholar
ship; the latter has by use become rather
clerical than collegiate degree. BY very
recent usage, and of doubtful authority the
degree in laws has been placed above that of
divinity as an object OF further ambition for
or means Tor a reduplicated compliment to
those who have received the theological degree
and accordingly our COLLEGES have taken to add
ing the LID. to the d. d. won by some of our
aeTdH.

THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN.


The rights of woman, what are they?
The right to labor, love, and pray;
The right 10 weep with those that weep,
The right TO wake when others sleep.
The right to dry the falling tear,
The right to quell the rising fear;
The right to smooth the brow of care,
And whisper comfort to despair.
The right to watch the parting breath.
To sOothe and cheer the bed Of death;
The rignt, when earthly hopes all fail,
To point 70 that within the VEIL
The right the wanderer to reclaim;
And WIN the lost from paths of shame:
The right to comfort and to bless
The widow and the iatherless.
The right the little ones to guide
In simple faith to HIM VINO died;
With earnest love and gentle praise
To bless and cheer their youthful days.
The right the intellect TO train,
And guide the soul to noble aim;
Teach 1t to rise above earth's toys,
And wing its flight for heavenly Joys.
The right to live for those we love;
The right to die that love to prove.
The right 70 brighten earthly homes
With pleasant smiles and gentle tones.
Are these thy rights? Then use them well
Thy silent influence none can tell.
II these are thine, why ask for more?
Thou hast enough to answer for.

The advantages OF education afforded by this
DulWich College are great that people have
moved IRON ali parts of London to the adjacent
parishes, as a residence there entities their
children to education, upon the payment OF a
very small fee
Sir Francis Bacon tried to persuade William
Alleyn, of DulWich, to devote his fortune 20 the
founding OF dramatic college, somewhat simi-
lar to the one now in existence. But Alleyn
probably had no great yeneration for the protes-
sion, for instead OF carrying out the suggestion
OF Bacon, he provided for the education OF
twelve boys, and the maintenance OF twelve
pauDeTs of the Parish OF Dulwlch, who were to
be in Charge OF a master and two Wardens; these
had to be chosen from bachelors bearing the
name of Aleyn. In 1857 the annual interest OF
the Alleyn fund amounted 70 $50, 900, vet such
rigid economy was practlsed as regarded the
pupils, that they were only allowed one room, in
which they eat, slept, and studied. The master
and wardens, however, lived IN the most uxu
rlOus style, and became famous for their lavish
hospitality, until it struck some one these olly
bachelor AIleyns were hardly devOtlng the
money of the testator to its legitimate use bS
storing their cellars with choice wines anC
giving superb dinners, and the matter was car
Tled before Parliament, and general reform
instituted.
There are now three hundred instead Of twelve
pupils aud the income derived from Alleyn'
landed estate now amounts to $4,000 year.
