Winter Moonlight.

Beyond the tranced shadow Of new night
Low breeding down long hill and barren
field,
\ deepening Wilderness of pure cloud re-
yealed
An eastern vestal, burning silver-bright,
And from its fires, far-fanned with mys-
tic might
And voiceless, the enshrined queen CON
cealed,
Flung straight and wide across the Stun
bering Weald
A radiant arrow, dipped in crystal light.
And 10! q swift confusion did disclose
How Dian stirred within her shroud,
and fled;
Her feecy veil by sudden tempest riven;
And in her full-orbed loneliness uprose,
Pale in a deep serenity, and sped
Up a high purple pathway into heaven.

ular Monthly for February.

WILL GEN. CRO<JE FIGHT?
OR WILL HE RETREAT? TWO
ROUTES OPEN.
CaoNJE CUT OFF FROM BLoEMFoNTEIN
Operations Suspended Temporarily through
out the T ie!d Of War. The Government
Military Scheme Adopted by the
House of Commons.

London, Feb. 16.-4:30 a. MAS the
wires are closed to correspondents with
Lord Roberts, and as nothing further
from him has been communicated to the
public, the military adopts spend their
time in studying maps, topography and
figuring cut the possibilities Of Lord
Roberts communications and what there
is left for the Beers to 10.
General Crone's communications with
Bluemfontcin have already been cut. The
best news England could hear would be
that he elects to give battle among the
low hills and ridges west Of Kimberley.
Should he determine not to do this, he
must raise the siege OF Kimberley ana
retreat to a point where he would prefer
to fight.
This retirement could be a long detour
around the head Of the British advance
to Bloemfontein, or, as seems TO military
students more practical, he could with
draw to the north, using the railroad for
his guns and heavy baggage, moving to
Fourteen Streams Station and thence
into Transvaal territory. The Beers
have made no preparation to defend
Bloemfontein, and there IS no particular
reason why General CrOnje should risk
a battle to protect the capital OF the
Free State.
Operations elsewhere are apparently
suspended. \ correspondent writing from
Chieveley February 18th, says:
"We are still hopeful of relieving Lady
smith"
Colonel Baden-Powell, in n dispatch
from Mafeking, dated January 18th, at
ter mentioning matters already sent out
by correspondents, gives his total cas-
ualties up to january 25th as follows:
Killed 5 officers and 90 men; wound
ed s officers and 123 men; missing 81
men.
No word has been received regarding
General Gatacre's 10000 men at Storm
berg. The impression is that these forces
are on the way to Lord Roberts.

DIR. WINSTON At THE UNIVERSITY.
His Speech Made at the Twenty Fifth Ami
versary of the Re-Opening of the
State University.

Drecarous childhood. With annual eX-
penses greater than annual income; with
widespread agricultural depression grow
ing more intolerable year by year: with
falling prices, a contracting currency
and financial panics: with popular ignor-
ancc, Indifference and misunderstanding
of the purpose and character of the new
University; with persistent opposition
from political leaders and influential ed
ucators; with constant demands by pol
ticans of all parties for false economy
in educational expenditures; with old
debts to discharge and new debts ac-
cumulating year by year it is little Won
der that the new University made slow
progress during the early years Of its eX-
istence. The wonder is that it lived at
all. But human endurance is ever equal
to human misfortune, and great causes
will never lack for leaders. The problem
of the new University was solved
through the efforts and during the admin
istration of its first president. With
knowledge of men and affairs drawn
from large experience of life: with POI
litical wisdom and legal skill acquired
on the hustings and at the bar; with
financial ability and experience gained
in public and private enterprises and dis
played in the management of the state 5
finances; with large capacity for labor
as speaker. WRITER, thinker, teaCnef ana
executive manager: with devotion to this
institution not inferior to the mother
love for her child nor the child's love for
its mother. but blending both into life
of unselfish and affectionate labor, he
has, unconsciously to himself placed the
name of Battle at the head of her Illus
trious and devoted benefactorS. 1t is my
privilege to know something of the labors
that he wrought and the trials and diff
ficulties that beset his work. For ten
years he performed the duties of dozen
men and received the salary of one. AS

live to see it doubled. And may those
who take up the work be spared the
labor and SORROW that were the price
of his splendid achievement.
The next problem before the new Uni
versity was organization. 1t is amusing
to recall the discussions of that day, as
to whether our little band of seven
teachers should organize themselves into
German University, rivalling Goer-
tingen, or an English University, the
peer of Oxford, or descend to a still
lower plane. as competitor with the Uni
versity of Virginia. The last plan was
adopted because of its greater feasbili-
ty; and our little band, not to be out
done by its ancient rival, divided itself
up into score of schools, colleges and
departments, capable of reconciliation
on proper occasions into one great Uni
versity. AS we'll as your speakers can
