DO YOU LOVE ME.

DO YOU love me Tell me truly,
The deep meaning of that smile,
Does it mean that am dearest,
Or but friendly all the while?
Is it but your joyous nature,
Making all around you bright,
Free to all who court your favor
BeamiDg from your heart so light?
Do you love me2 Are those glances,
That cherish from those eyes,
Granted freely to all corners,
Or that l alone may prize?
Let the planets that kindly favor
All that are beneath their ray,
Or a beacon light bright burning,
But to guide me on my way?
Do you love me? Is there deeper
Meaning in each word and tone,
When it falls upon my hearing,
That is meant for me alone?
Or so soft and so enchanting
Does it fall on every ear2
Waking every heart to gladness-
Tell me darling-still my fear2
DO you love me? Is the pressure
OF the hand that sends the thrill
TO my heart, whene'er | clasp it,
Given without thought or will?
Is its meaning naught but friendship?
Naught by kindness on your part?
Cell me this, or tell me, darling,
May claim your hand and hearth

The competition for the location of
this institution promises to make it
one of the best endowed Universities
in the West, ifthe donation by Con-
gress is properly administered. The
following from the Indianapolis Jour
nal of yesterday. shows how anxious
the people of Tippeeanoe are about. it:
From Judge Hayden, Secretary Of
the Board of Trustees of the Agri-
cultural College. or of ''Pordue Uni
verslty," as 1t IS now called. we learn
that tue members OF the Board are
havlnd tlne time at and about Lafay-
cite, to which place they went on Mon
day evening Tor the purpose Of making
an inspection of the sites pro-
posed for the location Of the College
They went, yesterday, to the Battle
Ground, and to day they are going to
the Shawnee Mound. This is located
about twelve miles southwest OF Lafa
yette, in a fine country where the
farmers are rich and prosperous
They are quite determined that it
shalt be located at that point, and
have offered donation of four hun
dred acres Of excellent land, and $780,
eco in money. If this is not sufficient,
they say that they viii raise S75, 600
more. To morrow the Board
will visit Stockwel, where the
College buildiHg aud other donations
are offered. The donation made by
Mr.. Purdue, aud that offered BY the
county will be given-t to the College,
at whatever point It may be located.
The members of the Board are re-
ceiving the most hospita bic treatment
imaginable, and should the weather
be pleasant to-day, their ride across
the country, in carriages, will be a
most pleasant one. Judge Havdan
says the people are thoroughly aroused
upon the question. and that If IN
dianapolis was half as wide awake
upon the new hotel question. we
should have one in a short time. -

CHILDHOOD.
BY G. A. CUTLER.


A pleasant little farm house stood,
Sequestered by the neatest wood,
Offragrant apple,
And silver maple;
And vines whose loving tendrils twined
'Mong flowers of every hue and kind,
AS Intervene
In bands of love,
The honeysuckle's sweet perfume:
The snowban's pure and spotless bloom,
And roses rare,
With lilies fair,
Mingled as tho some happy Fay
Had scattered them In mirthfuI play,
With magic wand,
On every hand.
And peeping forth, with shining face,
From velvet sod, with lovely ACE,
Sweet Violet,
And Mlgnionette,
In meekness lift their modest head,
With lavish hand sweet fragrance shed
Emblems of worth.
Though meek of birth.
That all the sweetness be not spent,
The bee, with provident intent,
On tiny feet ae
Gather the sweet,
And on his silvery wings 81
His load of nectar homeward brings;
Leaving his store,
Returns Tor more.
Feathered songsters, softly thrilling,
With lovely sounds the welkin filling;
From swelling Threats
Pour sweetest notes.
And voices from each lofty tree
Join In the dulcet melody;
hymn of praise
To God they raise.
Two happy, pattering childish feet,
The early morn in gladness greeti
Their tiny shoes
Mid silver dews
Brushing bright diamonds from the grass,
Scattering, as they swiftly pass,
Magic showers,
From the flowers.
Rosy cheeks and bright eyes glowing;
Hearts with gladness overlooking,
With faces bright,
And footsteps light,
Tripping o er the verdant green
Lend fresh beauty to the scene;
Light and airy
AS fairy.
Cunlng now the fairest flowers,
Swiftly pass the happy hours,
In childish joy,
without alloy. eel
Watching the birds with wistfuI eye,
Chasing the bright-winged butterfly,
In joyous play. B., 'a =ae
Passes the day. @
Sweet are thy childish days, and bright;
No cares thy happiness can blight.
Yet soon, alas!
These days must pass,
And time, on his relentless wing, -
March on, and cares and sorrow bring.
Bless God for flowers
And childhood hours.
