Co-Education of the Sexes.

Fifty women are enrolled as regular
Students in Cornell University, and there
are Others who are pursuing a POSTCARD
ute course. A correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press has been visiting the
university, and says in regard to this
matter: 81 have talked with professors
and non-professors, with men and wom-
en- students, and with such as are not
students, and the general verdict is that
there is no question whatever as to the
success of co-education.
1t operates as naturally, BEAUTIFULLY,
and as much to the positive benefit of
both sexes, as can the best and most ele-
waiting social relations. The men and
women behave better and are more self
respecting than when educated in one
Sex schools. Rather more than half the
women live in Sage College, and the
other half are lodged in private houses.
They are entirely untrammeled, as are
the men, living how and where they
please, and, of course, without the super
vision of matron as in boarding
school, 1t Yas believed that the young

women who would come to this univer-
sity for an education would know how
to conduct themselves in womanly
way, and experience has proved this to
be a fact. The conduct OF the women is
thoroughly admirable. Sometimes ac-
quaintanceship is formed between pupils
which results in marriage, and such mar
riages as have been the outcome of so
cial intercourse here have been, from
what can learn, of particularly happy
character. A number of the Women
have married professors, and are now
pursuing postgraduate courses. He who
educates woman edueates a generation
Quite number of the male students
take their meals in Sage College, and the
students of both sexes sit at the same la
bles. In many instances the men and
women are brothers and sisters, cousins
or old-time acquaintance, and the pro-
teeting influence of these relationships
can readily be appreciated. As final
mot, l will add that none of the Cornell
women have been, or are, what is popu-
larly denominated 'strong-minded. ,"

The Dove.

The Dove, in its larger aspect of gen
tleness" and Consistency" has, of course,
no place in this article, but as one of the
most popular of the poets standards of
beauty, deserves conspicuous precedence.
The softness of its plumage--"the soft,
rich plumage of the dove"--is poeti-
cal proverb; and the tender expression
of its eyes-as seen by the poets-"an
affirmation that is unto them as an ak
iom." Pity, Truth, Peace and Plenty
are all "dove-eyed;" and so, too, is the
Morning; and so, too, are half the WON

hams authority we may accept their
color as blue. Peace, Pity, Love, and
the Hours have also "the wing of the
dove" and these ION the testimony Of
many poets) are white, or "silver." The
wings, indeed, are n frequent point Of
comparison, and associated invariably
with happiness and affection in their
most beautiful aspects. "The graceful
neck" is specially admired but, above
all, that lovely play of opaline tints
which makes the doves throat and
breast so surprisingly loyely--"various
as the dyes on the doves neck
cts hues, gay-varying as the Orient beam,
Varies the neck of Cytherea's dove"
'like doves neck she shifts her trans
lent charms" 1t is, nevertheless, the
whiteness Of the dove, the "dove-like
candor" of Parnell, that most attracts
the poets. White has always been the
embematic hue of innocence and truth,
so the doves of the poets may be said to
have prescriptiye right to it. They are
"silyer doves" like to "new-fallen
snow" 'snowy-birds" of milky hue;'
and beyond this, a conjunction of silver
snow and milk, whiteness can hardly go.
Crashaw, indeed, extends this color to
its feet-"When will it suffer its white
feet to restp he asks But his bird, it
true, was the Dove of Heaven, while

THE CLARION.
THE SORROW OF THE SEA.

A day OF fading light upon the sea
OF sea-birds winging to their rocky caves
And ever with its monotone to me,
The sorrow Of the waves.
They leap and lash among the rocks and
sands,
Wh;te-lipp'd, as with a guilty secret
toss d,
Forever feeling with their foamy hands
For something they have lost
Far out, and swaying in sweet unrest.
A boat or two against the light is seen.
Dipping their sides within the LIQUID breast
OF waters dark and green.
And further still, where sea and sky have
kiss'd
There falls, as if from heavens own TIRES.

Upon faint hills that, half-enswathed in
mist,
Wait for the coming night.
But still, through all this life and motion
meet,
My thoughts are wingless and life dead in

Or dimly stir to answer at nay feet

The following letters will be read with
pleasure, not only by the immediate
friends of Mr.. Benjamin, but also by all
those who are acquainted with the cir
cumstances under which that distin-

My DEAR BENJAMIN: / have before
me document signed by almost every
leading member of the English bar, the
contents of which | am requested to con-
vey to you.
These old friends OF yours are anxious
that you should afford them collectively
an opportunity of showing their friend
ship toward you, and they trust you will
consent to be their guest on some occa-
sion convenient to yourself.
| hope you will understand their rea-
sons for desiring thus to meet you. We
do not forget how you came some seven
teen years ago stranger among us. We
offered you then no insincere welcome,
and in return you have always during
those years of your sojourn with us sup
ported the honor and position of our pro-
fession, and have added much to the
public estimation in which we are held,
And so now, when you leave us, your
old associates are anxious to show and
to tell you how much they valued the
friendship they know that even now they
have not lost.
