Poetry.
The Gray Liiinet,

There Is little gray friar in yonder green pusn'
Clothed in sackcloth-a little gray trlar
Like a Druid OF old In his temple-but hush!
He's at vespers; you must not go higher.
Yet, the rogue! can those strains be addresseo "
the skis,
And around us so wa atonly float,
Till the glowing refrain Ike shining thread flies
From the silvery reel of his throat?
When lie roves though he strains not his Iath thro
the air
With the splendor of tropical wings.
All the luster denied TO his russell plumes there
Flashes forth through his way when he SINGS
For the little gray friaf's so wondrous Mise,
Though in sach plain garb he appears, -, .,roro,
That on finding he can't rea:h your soui 'nio"en

But the cheati nj. not heaven he is warbng about
Other passions, less holy. betde;
For, behold there's little gray nun peeping cut
From a bunch OF green leaves at his side.

EDUCATION OF WoMEN.-The New York Ma
tion gives the following interesting account of
the results ofrecent efforts to promote the high
er education of women in England:
All England is occupied with the question of
education, at least in giving il all the atten-
ton it can spare from Fenianism. One most
interesting fact has come to light with regard
to the results of the efforts which have been
made to promote the higher education of wo-
men, by the establishment at Cambridge Uni
versity of examinations for girls, certificates
being awarded to all who pass satisfactorily.
The plan has now been long enough in opera
ton to furnish some aid in estimating the abil-
ity of women to master the studies hitherto
usually reserved to boys. The examinations
are conducted in Lo don by married fellows
OF the University; and besides furnishing girls
with an excellent means of testing their own
capacity, they are gradually creating a STAN
GARD to which women seeking employmen mt as
governesses or teachers will have to come up,
as the candidates furnished with certificates
naturally secure a preference But now for
the fact which gives The movement its strong
est claim to attention. The examiners report
that they discover little difference in capacity
between sisters and brothers examined on the
same papers-the advantage, if any, being on
the side of the sisters Moreover-and the eff
teot OF this is really stunning-the girls decid-
edly beat the boys in mathematics, seldom
making plumbers " in the essentials of DEM
onstration," while the boys make them in all
parts OF the process with equal facility. A
more nortentnus fact than this for the noble
army OF male bleckheads has never, we VEN
ture to say, been brought to light.

UnconlpIeted Marriage.

The Cincinnati Gazette OF the 9th ult,
contains the following:
We learn that a marriage ceremony at
Father O'Driscolls Church, on Sycamore
street, on Monday, was broken off without
completion. 1t appears that a Protestant
gentleman came to this city from Virginia
some ma ago, became acquainted in Cath
Ollie family where there was daughter and
that the usual consequences of the proxim-
ity ot young persons of different sexes foi-
lowed, and the parties became engaged.
On Monday the parties appeared IN cnufcn
to be married, with the usual attendance oil
friends and the appointments OF good
match. After part of the ceremony had
proceeded, the parties were taken into the
sacristry, where the priest, as is usual in such
mixed marriages. asked the bridegroom if he
promised that the wife should have the CON
troll of the religious training of the children.
The man, surprised, inquired If that was a
part of the ceremony, and was assured that it
was. He objected but the priest insisted
He looked to the woman, but she made no
sign. He then positively refused to make the
pledge to give up the control of his future
children, and left the church. We are in
formed that the scene as he walked out OF the
room, down the steps from the altar, and out,
pale but erect and determined, was striking.
