A Deserved Compliment.

The reappointment of Dir. L. p Bush as
a member of the State Board of Health by

the faithful and unselfish manner in which
bebas discharged the duties of the Office.

Commencement odes.

This is the time, as everybody knows
when the colleges aud universities of 6tf
land celebrate their commandments.
The reading of poems OF odes to the glon-
fication of Alma Mater to the professors, 5r
to their worthy selves, has come to be oee
of the established features among the stu
dents on these occasions.
Among the poetic eflusions of the numer-
GUS schools which have reappeared in the
New York papers we have selected speYl
meus for our readers delectation from II l.
sar College and West Point Military Acad-
emy.
Readers will judge for themselves as to
the peculiar cult or evolution of literary in.
spiration and phase of moral bent, that The
minds of the two schools referred to hsve
been clothed, and the influences that exist
among them to produce such results.
The levity, indeed vulgarity, of the ane
compared with the contrasted elevation of
tone in the other is seriously significant,
All thinking people will feel true gratsra-
tion in reading the West Point ode, whesess
to that of Vassar, perhaps for the credit Of
that supposed-to- be-leading ladies' college,
it were better that it had been suppressed at
the outset. The poems are as follows:
WEST POINT.
When shall we meet again
Meet ne'er to sever?
When will peace wreath her chain
Round us forever?
Our hearts will meier repose
Safe from each blast that blows
In this dark vale of woes,
Never, no never!
When shall love freely flow
Pure as life's river?
When shall sweet friendship glow
Changeless forever?
| Where joys, celestial thrill,
Where bliss each heart shall fill
And fears of parting chill,
| Never, no neverl
Up to that world of light
Guide us, dear Ssviour.
May we all there unite, y
Happy forever.
Where kindred spirits dwell,
There may our music swell
And time our joys dispel,
Never, no never.
vAssAR COLLEGE.
We are singing for the glory of Maria
Mtohell's name,
She lives at Vassar College, and you an

She once did spy a comet, and she thus wa

Chorus-Glory, glory, halleujah, goda won

Determined 10 Wed.

The sacrament of matrimony, per.
formed under the most adverse cir.
cumstances, says an eminent theolo-
gian OF France, is the turning tide of
mans existence on earth, and the SOON
or he takes the step the better IL it for
him. Such, unquestlonably, were the
sentiments of Mr.. J. q. White of Dali
las and Miss Alice X. Pollard OF
Terrell, recent aspirants to that
lofty standard in American society,
That the contracting parties were
anxious to enter into that state, no one
will for moment controvert. Eye
witnesses to the ceremony go so far
as TO say they were determined to
wed, notwithstandiL objections were
interposed. Now for brief state
ment of the affair: Mr.. J. G.. White
left Dallas Monday, his objective
point being Terrell Arriving at the
last-n AIMED city he all,d at the resi-
dence OF his fair btide-elect and in
formed her that he had completed
all arrangements whereby they could
get married at Dallas, and immedi-
ately, at that, If she would but acco n :
pBny him to that city. Miss Pollard
OF course, assented, and the pair Left
Terrell this morning on their happy
mission. Before leaving Terrell the
happy AID prospective groom secured
the marriage license from the au-
thorities at that place, 30
rs to make matters doubly
sure. Arriving at Dallas yesterday
morning they applied ID Squire for
the purpose OF having him perform
the ceremony, The austtre limb of the
law examined the license, and in 8
manner that would have b ought tears
to the eyes OF the average American,
informed them that it was unlawful
for him to perform the ceremony, a.
the license had been secured in
another county. Sill being deter.
mined to wed, the disappointed lovers
waited for the west bound train with
the intention of going elsewhere until
they could find man who was will
ing to violate the law, at least to that
extent. Having boarded the train
they incidentally heard that they were
travelling on the Texas Il Pacific rail
road, known in Texas as the WED
ding Route" also that each train
invariably had Clergyman on board
Mr.. w. inquired OF several passengers
whether or not preacher was aboard
| finally he came across Rev. w. II
Howell, a well-known divine OF THU
ection OF the state, and related his
troubles. In few moments Mr.
White and Miss Pollard were
seen standing in the aisle oil
the sleepiug-car, and Rev. Mr.
Howell, Immediately in front Of them
performing the ceremony. The wed
ding took place Just as the train wa
nearing this city, in the presence OF 8
large number Of passengers, Mr.. anC
Mrs. White returned to Dallas las
night, determined not to take mat
tiers for better or worse.n
