vAssAR GIRLS ON THEIR HONOR.

The faculty of Vassar College has
imposed a new trust upon the young
women students. The girls are to
be given the opportunity of making
their own rules and operating their
own government in matters of disci-
pline, and decisions about social
affairs and all things that come up
in the routine of college life. The
teachers will, of course, continue TO
make the rules about studies and
have control of the class rooms.
Vassar girls are rejoicing in this
new departure. They say that the
authorities will not have cause to re-
great the grant of the right of self
government to girls. For the last
v years the students have been
allowed to make their own regula-
tions to a certain extent, and the ex
pertinent has proved so successful
that when a petition for a fuller
voice i'm matters of control was pre-
sented to the faculty by the girls
the request was granted. 1t is said
that the rules were never obeyed so
we'll as they have been since the gov
eminent was given over to the stu
dents themselves. During the COM
ing school year the new system will
be given a thorough test by the fac
ulty.-Young People Weekly.

That same autumn evening he
wrote out the poem and showed it

fruitage worthy to crown T~ennyson's

gUage of a child as noble IS his
own gaeat genius as devout as the
faith which has been the corner
stone of his character. That he
himself felt it to be the fitting finale
of all he had written is shown by
the fact that but a few days before
his death he charged his son, "Mind
you put Crossing the Bar at the

every person should have some DEL
mite aim in life, for without a pur-
pose we are as a ship without a rud-
der-nothing to guide as in
course. How then, can we expect
success when we have nothing In
view? There are many mistakes
made by young men starting TO COL
lege-having nothing in view, bdt
simply to Ego to college " while
others go to better prepare them
selves for EEmaking money" On,
that these two classes might be taught
to know that true SUCCESS is not to
be attained by merely going to COL
lege mol in making money! May
the time be not far distant when the
young people of America will learn
a truer purpose in life, and demand
a higher standard of morality in
our nation
And let us have a higher ideal in
life, and may we bend every effort
and put forth all our energy to make
our lives equal to our ideal.

ABOUT SUNDAY DINNERS.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE lis it right
for the men folks of the family TO
insist on warm dinners on Sunday?
Is it right for the women to hearken
and put themselves to great inoon-
venience to have that warm dinner?
Can we afford to miss church in or.
der that that meal be warm when
we ourselves are so hungry for that
bread which is conducive to everlast-
ing life and of which we get so lit
tie? A mere crumb now and then
will not sustain life,-spiritual life,
I mean. A mere existence is not
life in it's fullest sense.
There many a woman bending
over her work in the kitchen on
Sunday, with a cheerful face, it may
be, whose heart is aching and whose
soul is hungering and thirsting after
righteousness. She patiently pre-
pares food that will be a delight to
her earthly master" and he, sell
fish man that he is, contentedly
gratifies his appetite after his weekly
nod in his pew at church.
Yes, this is true, and if the good
wife in her eagerness asks the sub
ject and outlines of the sermon he
has heard, she is almost invariably
told that he does not remember.
Does not remember ! That is not it;
he has not heard it. Now would it
not be better management all round
for the good wife who is so eager to
hear to leave at home himwho simp-
~ occupies his accustomed seat in
church then if he insists on a warm
dinner, let him warm it? She could
prepare her dinner on Saturday, and
I very much expect that he would
soon learn to like cool food, at least
for Sunday dinner. MRS. JOHN.

CROSSING Il BAR.

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar
When 1 put out to sea;
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark;
For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
/ hope to see my Pilot face to face
When l have crossed the bar. ALFRED Tenn
