did go.
To see the pretty flowers that in that garden
grow;
The first it the Jessamine, the Lily, Pink
and Rose,
They are the finest flowers that in that garden
grows.
I'd not been in Cupid's garden no more than
half hour
When l seed two fine young maidens, a-sitting
in Cupids bow'r
A-pulling of the Jessamine the Lily, Pink and
Rose,
They are the finest flowers that in that garden

pretty go,
For fine young maid as ever was, to serve all

JOURNALISM AND THE UNIVERSITY.
ON The London Globe.

From The London Globe.
There is an interesting note on the connection
of oxford with journalism in the current num-
Der of 1.-The Isis; and it is remarkable TO NOTE
how very great is the influence OF the university
on the British press In many notable cases
oxford provides editors for our newspapers and
reviews, while there is scarcely paper of the
first class that does not number many oxford
men on its staff The subject has been men
toned before and it has been remarked that
while Oxford plays considerable a part in the
serious journalism of England, Cambridge
curiousIy enough-has ever supplied the light
and graceful wits who divert US in the humorous
papers.
From both universities come the gentlemen of
the press and it is not unfair to think that the
sober and restrained character of the English
newspaper owes its reputation in no small meas
ure to the calm detachment Of early university
days. Such an influence is the first preparation
for journalist. and that Oxford-so frequently
charged with antiquated methods-can supply
the steadest brains of the great modern press is
a fine justification of her attitude toward the
breathIess reformers. The reader of neWspa-
pers, who really counts, is a man who can appre-
cate dispassiondte argument and Il literary
style; and this is the only public to which the
best English papers care to appeal.

THE CONTRACTION.

A DEFENCE OF IT'S USE IN THE WRONG PLACE
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue of January Is, in the re-
view of Mr.. Douglass History of Siena' the
critic remarks that his style is frequently dis
figured by affectation. His incessant violation
of the good old rule against beginning a SEN
tence with a conjunction is peculiarly irritating
1t is incredible that he should be ignorant on
this point" L feel inclined TO state, first, that
there is no such rule and afterward, to inquire
where your critic obtained the notion that there
was, and. finally. to wonder what constitutes
rule" which is not logical sequence.
Your critic must have been frequently irri-
tated by the English translation Of the Bible,
where the usage in question is almost inces-

Arnold, Ruskin, Cardinal Newman and Walter
Pat~r. Any usage may be overused. L have not
