One of the greatest needs of the

AT the University of Virginia there
is no prescribed course of study, no en-
trance examination, no vacation, ex-
cept the summer one, and but six holt
days.
1t is expected that the education

of education throughout the South

The Journal Of Education express

its public school Superintendent is the
most serious misfortune that can befall
a State, educationally. 1t is quite easy
10 argue to the contrary.-Carrent.

CHAPTER XIV.
FROM GRIEE TO 10Y.


My tale is drawing to an end, al

write chapter after chapter. detailing
every occurrence of the next month

word that passed between Pauline and

If my situation was an anomalous one
it had at least a certain charm. 1t was
a new wooing, none the less entertain
ing and sweet because its object hap
pened to be already my wife in name.
1t was like landowner walking over
his estate and in every direction finding
unsupported beauties and unknown
mines of wealth. Every day showed
me fresh charms in the woman l loved.
Her smile was a Joy greater than |
had ever pictured, her laugh rc>.sla-
ton. To gaze into those bright uu-
clouded eyes and strive to learn their
secrets was reward that repaid me for
all that l suffered. To find that her in
tellect, now restored, was fit to be
matched with any one's-to know that
when the time came | should be given
not only wife, beautiful in my eyes,
above all women, but companion and
sympathetic friend-how can l de-
scribe my rapture?
Yet it was a rapture not unmodified
by doubts and fears. 1t may be that
my character lacked that very useful
trait called by some self-contidence
and by others conceit. The more l

TAKE THINGS AS THEY COME.

Some days are bright and sunny,
And some are bleak with rain;
Some lives are crowned with pleasure
And some are filed with pain.
For some the world is rosy,
For others sad and glum;
But all who'd know contentment
Should take things as they come.
You know Dame Fortunes tickle,
And oft withdraws her smile,
And things TO suit our fancy
Won't fashion all the while.
The best of puddings only
Has here and there plum
Then look upon the bright side,
And take things as they coma
TTis not by care and worry,
TITS not by fume and fret,
That great things we accomplish
And wreaths victorious get.
1t is by watching, waiting,
And working bravely from
The morn till night, and taking
Lifes trials as they come.
Depend this world is sunny,
If we the sun would see;
Then take things as they're going.
And not as they should be.
We ever may be happy,
And JOY will hop and hum
Around US, If we only
Will take things as they come.
