A MATRIMONIAL BUREAU.

The manager of matrimonial agency in
this city unbosoms himself to a correspond
ent of the Hartford 1SDses as follows " You

plimentny smile, but no ono not in this
business knows how many persons who want
to get married do not succeed without Just

enables us to give. For instance, a great
many men do not know the kind of wife
they ought to propose for and consequently
when they do ask a lady in marriage they
are refused, and II they do get married il

He had just come back from a three years

His vessel was only in port three days, but
he had to find wife in that time who would

Boys of spirit. boys CT viii,

Boys OF muscle, brain and power,

But the nobler one, "I'll try"
Do whate'er you have to do
With q true and earnest zeal;
Bend your slnews TO the task,
Put your shoulder TO the wheel.

From your future efforts, boys,

POETRY.
WAITING.


Waiting while the shadows gather,
And the sunlight fades away:
While the tender cleaning deepens,
And the golden turns to gray.
Watching while the starlight quivers
Brightly In the heaven above;
/ am waiting for her coming,
Waiting, watching for my love.
Listening for the weil-xnown football,
And the voice whose loving tone
Sweetly bids me cease my waiting,
watching, listening for my own.
Lingering stlll among the shadows,
AS they deepen on the beach,
Hearts exchange In sacred stiffness
Thoughts that would be soiled by speech,
Thus in perfect love and trusting,
Winged moments pass away;
Till the holy, star-crowned night Is
Sweet to us as golden day.
And as tenderly the cleaning
Gathered on the brow of day,
God shall keep her, God shall bless her,
When Iife's golden turns to gray.

ton to the course of study necessitated by the
introduction of the new chair. The new pro-
gramme will appear in the catalogue, which was
not issued as usual before commencement. The
Academy at Worsham was incorporated into
the college; which it is hoped will make that
school still more feeder to the college and sup
ply instruction for young men not sufficiently
advanced to enter. the college proper
The report of the Trustees showed the finances
of the college to be in better state than ever
before; and under the operation of the act of
the last Legislature the income will be sufficient
to pay all the salaries of professors and to leave
surplus to be expended on the repairs so much
to be desired
There were excellent testimonials presented
in behalf of some eight or ten applicants for the
new chair. Any one of several competitors
might perhaps have been chosen with advan-
tage. The choice actually fell upon Mr. w. S.
Cwrell, of South Carolina, whose credentials
were not to be resisted PROSPER.

large MISUNDERSTANDING however min
ority strong enough certainly to present
our Church in very undesirable, and, in
some respects, damaged condition. The
conviction that majority would have
voted for the report rests, () Upon the
fact that the fundamental principle in
volved in it was neither more nor less
than the one so unanimously affirmed by
five preceding Assemblies, and by none
in more emphatic terms than in 1881,
when it was declared that we stood ex-
actly on the old ground, taking mo step
forward, and no step backward" (2)
That the brethren who were at first so
earnest for others voted for it as soon as
it was presented under another form.
Now this brings us to the very crisis
of the whole case, but as its examination
would far transcend the limits proper for
this article, it must be reserved for next
week. 1t is hoped that our people will
give this subject patient and candid
consideration. If l am not greatly mis-
taken they will see more and more
clearly the propriety of the course taken
by our Assembly, and that it will receive
a general approval throughout our be-
loved Church. WILLIAM Brown.

Brilliant Closing at Central University
Kentucky.

There were interesting and profitable closing
exercises held at Richmond. KY, at the annual
finale of Central University.
On Sunday, June 1lth, the Baccalaureate
Sermon was delivered by Rev E. H. Ruther-
ford, D. D., of Paris, KY. His subject was,
" The gospel of Christ as the only light of eter-
nal life" Jno. vi: IS, 50.
Rev. T. D. Witherspoon, D. D.. of Petersburg,
Va, delivered the sermon before the Young
Mems Christian Association on Monday night,
June 18th. He designed to prove that mere
law, in its general sense, could never meet nor
satisfy the requirements of mans higher needs
and nature. Both of these addresses gave great
satisfaction to the large audiences who were
present on these occasions.
On Tuesday morning, June 18th. General
Alpheus c. Baker, formerly of Alabama ad
dressed the two Literary Societies in an inter
esting and telling oration. The two Literary
Societies of the University held their final cele
bration on Tuesday night in the chapel, when
orations were delivered by the three represen-
tatives from each Society of the Junior class
The gold medal offered as prize by the Chan
cellor, for the best Grafton in all respects was
decreed by the judges to Mr.. o. Harding,
of Mexico, Missouri.
Wednesday, June 14th, was Commencement
DAY six orations were delivered by members of
the graduating class. President Logan added
some beautiful and appropriate words of wise
advice, as in behalf Of the faculty, he bade
them an affectionate farewell
Hon. H. W. Bruce, of Louisville, delivered
an interesting and profitable address. About
a hundred and fifty students have been in at
tendance during the past session, and there
would have been a larger number but for the
drouth and depression of the last season. The
financial affairs of the institution are in good
condition, with no debt on hand to annoy the
trustees, and the prospects for the coming year
are very promising and encouraging. The next
session will commence in September next
