NIT. Vernon.

Upon the broad potomac's shore,
Below the city of his name,
His ashes rest who evermore
VIII live the favorite Of fame
He stood the greatest of the great
When giants battled. 1t was he
Who with his sword carved out State
And gave a people liberty.
He seems to us almost divine,
The calm. the brave, the good the just
This spot becomes a nations shrine.
Because it holds his sacred dust.
There Is no bound unto his fame,
But every land beneath the sun
Lends to the general acclaim,
Which greets the name of Washington,

As a general observation It may be
said IA gentleman lounges and a loafer
loafs. shade of distinction, however,
not always observable. as there is usu-
ally a noticeable tendency on the part
of the lounger to become a mere loafer.
Hence the need of discrimination on
the part of those who engage in either
of these pleasing but Improbable avo-
cations, especially in the case of those
whose chara cteristics are in process OF
formation. The rector of the Universe
~ of Vienna, at least, seems to be duly
impressed with the importance OF regu-
lating even lOunging, as shown in The
following edict recently published for
the benefit of the students in the Aus
TRAN capital: For the university year
OF 1878 the bummel. or lounging, will
be sanctioned under the following con-
ditiOns: 1t must be practiced on Sat
urdays only and between the hours OF
II and ~ a. m, in the .ArcadenhOf. For
changing the hour or prolonging the
period of the aforesaid lounging a spe-
cial permission must be obtained from
the rector. Students not attached to
the university are not allowed to par
ticipate in it, This permission is grant
cd on the understanding that all cor
poratious Of students taking part In the
same shall avoid any action tending TO
create q disturbance or cause annoy
ance in public places" TO suppose that
the lounger, whether student or other
wise. would engage in actions tending
to disturbance or annoyance in public
places would be TO do violence to the
time-hOnored traditions Of lounging.
The students. however, may be sup
posed to be only amateurs in this ele-
giant art and the rector of the Univer-
sity of Vienna is wise. therefore, in
guarding against the first approaches
toward loating. But to lounge by rule
and on one specified hour of the week
that must be peculiarly Austrian no

every person to whom profanity is an
offence will be glad to hear. MIR. Dana
