Gated that the coupon notes system was
designed for the general University
fund. These notes involve the obliga-
tion of a contribution to the University,
maturing, we believe, in Ave years, and
the reverend speaker hoped that the
dioceses would respond literally. His

means to set ON foot the halls as above
explained.
We desire to say, that we congratulate
the University upon securing the ser
vices of this gentleman, whose appeal
we deem it privilege to place thus in
our columns. We have known tho Rev.
Mr.. DuBose since the dews of youth
rested upon his bright intellect and pure
heart. He seemed always fashioned for
the work of Gods minister. He is now
in responsible office. He expects to
live and to die at Sewanee. In the name
of God, hs has set up O banner there,
and engaged as he ia in noble work,
the Lord of Hosts will be with him. and
the God OF jacob will help him. He
will make the youth under his charge
pure Christians and loyal citizens-loyal
to truth, to duty and their country-and
he will make a brave effort to bring back
to the country its purer and better days,
when official integrity and political tide-
lity united with personal religion and
individual honor to make the country
prosperous and contented. Oh, for the
honest days OF oldl
We cordially commend our friend and
his appeals to the State. of which he is O
true and devoted son; aud We venture
also to commend his mission to the
church of which he is the ornament and
pride.
All persons desiring to communicate
with Mr.. DuBose may address him at
Charleston, up to February 1. After
that, his address will be Sewanee, Tenn.

THE WHITE PILGRIMS GRAVE.

THE WHITE PILGRIMS GRAVE.
BYJ. W. BUSH.
l came to the spot where the white pilgrim lay,
And pensively stood by his tomb,
When, in low whisper, 1 heard something cay,
''How sweetly sleep here alone
The tempests may howl and the loud thunders
And gathering storms may arise,
Yet calm are my feelings, and at rest is my soul,
The tears are all wiped from these eyes.
The cause of my Master compelled me from home
l babe my companions farewell;
| left my sweet children who for me now mourn,
In far distant regions TO dwell.
l wandered, an exile and stranger below,
To publish salvation abroad
The trump of the Gospel endeavored TO blow,
Inviting poor sinners to God.
But when among strangers, and far from my home
No kindred or relative nigh,
met the contagion and sank in the tomb
My spirit to mansions on high.
o tell my companion, and children most dear
To weep not Tor Jos eph, tho gone,
The same hand that led me through scenes dark
and drear,
Has kindly assisted me home
Icalled at the house of the mOurner below,
l entered the man sions of GRIEF;
The tears Of deep sorrow most freely did flow;
tried, but could give no relief
There sat a lone widow, detected and sad,
By affection and sorrow oppres sed,
And here were her children in mourning arrayeo,
And signs were escaping each breast.
/ spoke to the widow concerning her grief,
asked her the cause of her woe,
And why there was nothing to give her relief,
Or soothe her deep sorrow below.
She looked at her children then looked upon me,
That look can never forget;
More eloquent far than seraph can be,
1t spoke of the trials she met.
THE hand of affection falls heavily now,
[ am left, with my children, to mourn
The friend of my youth is silent and low,
In yonder cold graveyard alone.
But why should mourn, or feel 10 complain,
Or think that fortune ia hard
Have met with affliction tbs truly his gain
He enters the Joy of his Lord.
His work is completed and finished below;
His last tear has fallen, TRUST
He has preached his last sermon and met his last
toe,
Has conquered, and now is at rest"
