people college degree as attested by the
regular diploma is unhesitatingly accented
as an assured proof of ability and final
course OF greatness. Unfortunately the
criticism mentioned is not the worst
which we, as students, are called upon to
endure. Much more prevalent is the idea
that the college man does not work; that
he comes to college simply to have a good
time and consequently does not acquire
any awe-inspiring amount of knowledge.
To say, however, that all men are ipdo-
lent because some particular ones are is to
commit the logical error of arguing from
particular TO general. Life is not one
ceaseless round of pleasure to the man
who attends a university. The fact is all

Centuries gone, stone was thrown
Away the sculptor weary grown,
Had cast the block aside
The marble was too hard and bare,
And the form he dreamed imprisoned there
Beneath his chisel died.
Unnoticed many years il lay
Till trace of form was worn away,
Beneath the crowds rude heel.
When at the last a master found
The block half buried in the ground.
And all his poets soul could feel
Its mute. insensate appeal,
He touched IL with his loving hand,
He called IL forth and made il stand,
A shepherd youth, strong limbed and free,
Divine in its humanity.
How ready we TO fling aside
The soul we sought TO form
Unto our narrow norm,
When marred and crucihed.
Cast under foot Of men,
Lost to their care and pen
The ruined block may be
Till 10! the master passes there,
Hears its mute, unwritten prayer.
And TO his own transcendent plan
Evolves the statue OF a man
The measure Of eternity.
There Is, If but our eyes could see.
In every form divinity;
And IL our souls should listen, hear
In every dumb and dullest clod
Unspoken. but distinct and clear,
The voice OF God.

glory thrilled the air unknown before;
And down the distant pathway dew the light
The western gates, the silent shadows
sealed;
The golden day has passed into the night,
The earth is lost but heaven bends re
yealed.

NOTES..

1t is understood that certain John
G. Carlisle is taking great interest in
the repairs that are now going on at the
White House.
The rhetoric of reconciliation which
has lately been poured out so copiously
is to be taken with some allowance, of
course, for the enthusiasm of the speak
ers. Undoubtedly, the bitter memories
of the war are being rapidly obliterated
and the two sections are being brought
together in an anicable way by ''the bet
ter angels of our nature" as Lincoln
predicted. But it is also to be said that
there is not yet the same liberation, po-
litical and social, for the NOrtherner in
the South that there is for the Southern
er in North. And it is equally true that
many who profess to througbly recon
struGted would much rather hear Dix
ie" than "The Star Spangled Banner"
These things will be corrected in. the
course of events, there is good reason to
believe; but at present they tend to
postpone that complete harmony which
is so desirable.

Chairman Carter is about to issue a
call for a meeting of the Republican Ma.
tional Committee. 1t will probably be
held within few weeks at Washington.
Various topics, more or less Important,
will come up for consideration, but the
one in which public interest centres is
the proposition to hold the next Nation
al Convention in early fall instead of in
May or June.
The proposition is meeting with gen
eral favor. There is too much political
agitation in this country, too long cam
paigns, with the result that business re.
mains for months in an unsettled and I'M
satisfactory condition, entailing heavy
losses. The excitements are too pro-
longed, interfering in numberless ways
with the duties and comforts of the peo-
pie. There seems to be little of benefit
to offset these injurious effects. With
the newspapers to supply the readers
with every kind of campaign literature
possible, the speeches, ETC., and with
mails for the rapid transmission of other
campaign reading matter and with the
present rapid facilities for organization,
there is little reason for these prolonged
seasons of excitement, ''relics of the
slow, stage coach days"

Masonic Honors For Vermonters.

The Supreme Grand Chapter of the
Grand Cross of Constantine of the
United States held its nj nth annual con-
vention in the Masonic Temple, Buffalo,
N. Y, on Tuesday, the 18th day of Sep
tember, 1895, A. o. 1881, Sir John Cor
son Smith of Chicago, M. E. grand soy.
ereign, presiding. A quorum being
present the chapter was opened in ample
form.
Vermont was represented by Ill. Geo.
o. Tyler, 33 degrees, of Burlington, and
Ill. Marsh O. Perkins, 33 degrees, of
Windsor. This organization is limited
to 80 members and only most lllustrious
grand sovereigns of States and past
grand sovereigns are eligible to member
ship. All of the States have candidates
they desire to have advanced, and make
persistent application in their behalf to
the Supreme Chapter. Considering the
small number who can have the degree
at the same time, and that it can only be
gotten when vacancies occur, it is a high
honor to receive it. At this session of
the Supreme Grand Chapter, Ill. D. N.
Nicholson, 80 degrees, of Burlington,
grand sovereign of the Imperial Council
of the Red Cross of Constantine of Ver-
mont, received the degree of grand cross
in recognition of his zeal and special fit
ness for the work, the body thus giving
honor to whom honor is due.

The Board is of the opinion that the
accident was occasioned solely by the
neglect of Chaput TO observe ordinary
prudence in attempting to cross the
tracks. The situation at this crossing,
with the double track line and the pass
ing freight train Obstructing the view,
should have impressed upon Chaput the
necessity of exercising especial care in
crossing the tracks. The commissioners
conclude that the Fitchburg Railroad
Company was in no fault, so far as the
proper operation of its trains was con-
cerned. These two crossings. located
within one thousand feet of each other,
while not blind in their approaches, are
confessedly dangerous and the Board
strongly recommends that this portion
of the highway be discontinued and a
new road laid out and suitably prepared
for public travel along the bank on the
nOrtherly side of the railroad.

During the first seven months of the
present year the importations of woolen
goods have increased by 2,711, POS
over the importatious for the correspond.
ing months in 1892 under McKinleyism.
In list, covering period of eleven
months previous to July 1st, in II other
representative industries, the importa-
tions show an increase of S36, 1853, 800
over the corresponding period in 1892.
Theselvast sums are sent abroad, for
foreign productions, and for the benefit
of foreign workingmen. Consequently,
our own fellow workingmen, our neigh
6ors who share the burdens of taxation,-
must submit to heavy reductions in pay,
short hours or no work, and heavy losses
and suffering. This is a partial cost of
Democracy.
