Songs Of Spring.

WILD GEESE.
These are the srngs offspring,
VI spring, the llower Of time and trutl
ofsilonce and of und,
Tho waters of eternal youth,
Long sought and never found =
Yet who, yet who shall singp
These arc the songs Of spring,
Offspring, the month of coming birth
OF all things born again;
The inspiration of the earth,
The morning light of men
Ret who, yet who shall singp
Those are the songs Of spring,
Offspring, the season of desire,
Ofpassion, and of pain
ofheat and cold of frost and fire,
OF sun and wind and rain
Yet who, yet who shall sing2
While the storm once more may break through
the gray
And the frost strike sore ere the promptings o
tho May,
With the clang ofsleet and the clash of rain,
~ ViiV hOl diNdlu ny lle betbo again.
Clonchod in the fingers of March the forest:
stand,
Held in his gauntlet of ice and wrung in his
sinewy hand
And now, with the clangor of bells in the frosty
sky,
The wild goose follow the storm-wind bach
with n stronp disrordont crv
This is the note they bring,
The harsh, conflicting prelude of the spring;
The wild, forbidden March-bird sending forth
The bugle-call to April, who waits to follow
north.
Still to northward, wind and frost following
sore,
To the tempest-beaton coast of Labrador.
BLUEBrRD.
'Tis morning all in the April weather,
With the April cloud and sun,
When spring and winter are near together,
And you know not either one,
And once again from earth or sky,
The windy distance answering,
hear the bluebrd's subtle cry
The magic voice of spring.
My window that looks to the uplands yonder
In the russet vines is bound;
And here of an April day ponder
To the rhythmic April sound;
iIor changing pulses beat for me,
Her chilly languors touch me here
With all the wine of ecstacy
The coming of the year.
Bird of the magic April weather,
And the distant April sun,
Bringing the earth and sky together,
To belong to neither one;
The sun is strong, the wind is wild,
The blue at variance with the gray,
Your broken song has reconciled
The conflict of an April day.
ROBIN.
The wheat is yet sown,
But half the field is plowed,
And hear, with the promise of summer,
The voice Of blithe newcomer,
The robin, singing loud.
Sing where the eager winds are blowing,
And in the waiting fuTrow
Sing while the border woods are bare,
And pattering rains are on the air;
You may not sing tomorrow.
The rebins flight is strong
Or be it storm or sun;
With the favoring May wind follows
The first of the tardy swallows;
But he shall follow none.
The hope ofharvest rules the sowing,
Let pass despair and sorrow;
Sing on knew you in the wood,
Among the last year'srobin brood;
Sing on-to-day, tomorrow.
/ knew you in the nest,
With yellow, gaping throat.
Had crushed you, Ns one erushes
With the heel the sweet.fern bushes,
You had not sung q note.
he mother was beyond our hearing;
Yet who would license borrow
thought, if should fling you by
Your yellow bcak would scarcely cry;
Yet sing II storms tomorrow.

Lace and muslin fichus grow
larger and larger. 1t is the height
of fashion to hang a piece of old
faded tapestry on the wall Pufls of
null and tulle illusion in the neck
bid fair to take the place of plait-
iugs and ruches. Cretonnc fans in
Trianon designs match parasols and
suits ofprinted sateen, cambria and
foulard. Red corsages, red hats and
red fans and parasols are adopted by
many women of gay tastes at water
ing places. The fashionable artifi-
cial flowers are jonquils, roses, poe
MES, oxeye daisies white lilacs and
sun flowers of various sizes. Mule
and baptiste dresses in pale tints of
colors, trimmed with limitation
Valenciennes and French point and
Vermicelli laces, make lovely after
noon and evening watering place
toilets. Bunches of roses as large as
fall cabbage are fastened above
and in front of the hip and below
the breast of the most fashionable
women at Saratoga and Long
Branch whenever they are costumed
for a carriage drive. Artistic para
soils have sprays of eglantine daisies,
golden red, struggling insects, and
sometimes birds painted as if fall
ing, or flying, en- ndtuTel, over the
cores on the outside, sometime en-
croaching on the lace border or
fringe. while the Innings show faded
effects in full, delicate tints of blue,
green rose, cream. pearl and pure
white.

One of the "cranks" got after
Governor Cornell, of New York,
the other day. A dispatch from AL
bany says:
"Some excitement prevailed here
to-day OH account of a rumored at

IL seems that stranger walked up
to the stOop of the old capitol, and
was about entering when Superin-
tendent Hyde, noticing the strange
appearance of the man, who was
carrying an old-fashioned gun on
his shoulder, and asked him where
he was going. He replied: Il am

Hyde at once saw that the man was
probably crazy, and fearing that
some harm to the state officials was
intended, asked him for the gun
The stranger declined to give it up
when a struggle ensued for its pos.
session, and Hyde secured it."

In one of his San Francisco exhor-
tatiOns Moody spoke of the fate of
those who, otherwise good, were not
regenerate by divine grace. He
feelingly referred to his grand
mother, who died unconverted, say
ing: "Although she was good and
kind. and dearly loved by me, fear
she has met with the reward of all
who die not owning Christ. l know
she is in hell" At this moment a
young man near the front arose and
walked down the aisle toward the
door. "There is a gentleman" said
the revivalist, "who is tired oflisten-
ing about Christ. He is going
straight to hell" The object of this
public rebuke turned and said, in a
clear quiet voice: swell, is there
any message l can take to your
grandmother, Mr.. Moody PRO
chester (N. Y EUening Express.

Scope of the University.

Said Mr.. Cornell: 81 would found
an institution where any person
can find instruction in any study"
This is n beautiful sentiment, but
rather more comprehensive than eX-
pressive; more ideal than real 3;
more easily conceived than defined
full of theory-entirely destitute
of practical application. Still, our
university should aim at furnishing
those departments of instruction
which everywhere by the entire re-
public OF letters are considered nee
essary. OF these, the languages, an
cient and modern, mathematics, pure
and applied, ethics, history and SCI
ence are necessary" and are group
ed usually under the head, "depart-
ment of philosophy"
These may be arranged in the usu-
al manner, and with the disciplinary
value attached, except in the order
and importance of the languages
themselves.
The Roman short sword and the
Grecian shield may have been the
proper weapons many centuries ago,
NAV still be in Oxford and Camb-
ridge and many of our American
universities to-day, but we in Texas
need the artillery ofmodern thought,
of modern science. Then we must
have the modern vehicles of modern
thought, and first, the most familiar
modern language as the most promi-
nent in our classification. We must
place therefore in the department OF
languages the history and .litera-
ture, the philology and philosophy
of our mother-tongue.
The English language, first, then
should be provided for next, the
modern, so-called. and then the
ancient and oriental languages, but
all literally and thoroughly. This
is not, Just now, the place to discuss
this reversion in the long established
order. giving precedence to the
classics, but the prOpriety and fitness
of such an arrangement is left for
the determination of.the, regents.
At first under the department OF
philosophy or in the academic de-
partment of the university the fol-
lowing schools should be provided
for, each with one professor, viz i:
/. English language and literature.
III. Modern languages.
III. Ancient languages.
~. Mathematics.
V. Natural philosophy (physics
and astronomy
vi. Chemistry, general and APP
piled.

The Republican papers are finding
fault with the democratic nominee
for governor of Ohio, because he or
his family changed the "Buch" part
Ofhis name to "Book," and because
he has grown rich in making steam
engines. Charlie Foster got rich in
selling dry goods, while the "loyal'
men of Ohio were fighting ."Con-
feds" Again, the candidate for lieu
tenant-governor is denounced be-
cause he appreciates a fine horse and
takes interest in the turf. All god
illness comes from these Ohio Repub-
hcans, and Charlie Foster, sinner as
he is, assumes the role of high priest
to all the churches of the United
States.

PRoFEssoRD. DAUDIN, the famous
scientist of Paris, claims that the
world will come to an end on the
tenth day of August, and stakes his
reputation as an astronomer upon
his assertion. By accurate observa-
ton he claims to have reached this
conclusion, and further claims that
numerous comets are now moving
: toward the sun with frightful We
locity. By measurements, computa-
tions of the distance, and COMPARE
Hsons of the distance to be travelled
in each case, he has found that all
these vast bodies of fire will be con-
centrated in the sun on the tenth OF
this month, and that the earth will
milt with fervent heat. This leaves
only four days intervening between
now and the end. and the worldly
minded communities are fighting
over the moral attitude of the Old AL
Aalde, just as though all are prepared
the end, and the old gentleman
Aply one whose trial for future
bliss is on docket.

THE Chilians have just passed
through a successful war of conquest,
and General Baquedano, "the con.
queror of Peru" after n fashion in
this country, conceived his military
services had made him the flttest
man in all Chill to become its presi.
dent. He asked for the civil posi-
ton, because of his military SER
vices, but the Chilians want a civil
ian president, and Baquedano final
ly being convinced of this almost

an open field to his opponent.

JOINT WORKS.

The faculty selected, they should
in conjunction with the board of
regents begin in earnest to exercise
their practical views as TO the shape,
extent and adaptability of the uni
versity buildings. Architects (from
distance) will offer plans with
view to imposing grandeur
to outward appearances, but ev-
ery one who has had any exper-
fence as an instructor or profess
sor knows how little attention is
paid by architects to the real fitness
of the structure to the desired end.
How few of our public halls even,
much less our lecture rooms, have
any reference to the acoustic prin-
ciples so necessary to success IN
speaking or lecturing. AT first we
must have lecture rooms temporary,
if you please, afterwards laborato-
RES, libraries, museums, galleries,
halls for societies, gymnasiums and
other appliances for physical culture
and recreation. These will grow
with the years and usefulness of
the university, but must be provid-
ed for in the organization.
