She unobscrved steals unto her throne,
And there she sits most meek and most alone;

Towards her with the muses. in thine heart;
AS If the ministerng stars kept not apart
Waiting for silver Footed messages.

Innumerable mountains rise. and rise,
Ambitious for the hallowing of thine eyes,
And yet thy benediction passeth not
One obscure hiding-place, one little spot
Where pleasure may be sent the nested wren
Has thy fair face within its tranquil ken.
And from beneath stieltering ivy leaf
Takes glimpses OF thee; thou art relief

DEGREES Ar THE UN1vEns1rY.

Professor R. H. Dabney, of the Uni
versity Of Virginia, informs the Char
lottesville Progress that Its statement
that the board Of visitors has abol-
ished Latin as a requirement for the
degree of Bachelor of Arts is erron-
teous.
The truth is. says he. that
the faculty, whose business 1t is to
study educational questions. instead Of
settling them by reliance upon shad-
owy sentimentalisnl. has recommended
to the board CATER years of consider
alton. and, in particular, after very in
tense and protracted thought upon the
subject during the past SESSION. that
certain changes be made in the re-
quirements for the B. a. degree. Most
of these changes (the nature of which
is set forth in the last Alumni Bulle-
tin) were promptly adopted by the
board, while action was postponed on
the question whether the university
shall-like Harvard, Yale, Johns Hop
kins, Cornell, Michigan, Wisconsin and
Leland Stanford, for eXample-confer
the Bachelor of Arts degree upon stu
dents who. though doing thorough
work in other things, prefer under the
elective system ESQ long the univer-
sity's boasD to substitute other things
for Latin
He says that the assertion that the
board at the same meeting abolished
Greek as a requirement for the Mas
ter Of Arts degree is also erroneous.
1t Is stated in the catalogue of 1891
'92, says Mr. Dabney. that the degree
nj Ma M c a
Bachelor Of Arts of the University of
Virginia who has been graduated In
four academical schools, elected by
himself and approved by the faculty"
Not word. you see, about Greek"
continues Mr.. Dabney. "And, as Greek
was not then required for the s. A. de-
gree either, 1t was OF course not re-
quired for the NJ. A. degree ! need
hardly say, l hope. that any student
who SO elected could take Greek for
his B. "A. degree. and then take in adj
1ition, an advanced course in 1t for his
NJ. A. But 1t Is fifteen years since
Greek has BEEN required for the NJ. "A
Iegree, and still longer since it was
fequirad for the p. "A. degree. Yet the
world continues 70 wag; and those stu.
dents who, under Jefferson's elective
system, regard Greek as more bene.
fetal to themselves than any substi-
tute for it continue to study that no

The mate he supposed saw her at the same time, for he went fo rthe captain. When the captain came up he told Johnson to keep the course as it was and the latter replied that he would. Soon the green light was no longer vis- ible and only the red light showed. The steamer was much nearer then and only her red light and her white lights were visible thereafter. He kept the schooner on her course until the yes- sells came together, and then he aban- doned the wheel because the mate or- dered all hands to get the boat ready He continued with the corroborative testimony relating the actions of the crew till the schooner. was abandoned
