THE LOVE THAT BLOSSOMS TO
LATE.

(R. S. Gavin, Columbus, Miss.)
What silences we keep year afte
year,
With those who are most near to u
and dear!
We live beside each other day by day
Ne speak Of myriad things, but sci
dom say
The full, sweet word that lies just il
our reach,
Beneath the commonplace OF commoi
speech.
Then out of sound and out of reacl
they 60
These close, familiar friends who loves
US SO;
And sitting in the shadow they have
left,
Alone with loneliness, and sore BERT,
We think with vain regret of scm'
kind word
That once we might have said-ant
they have heard"
The above beautiful lines are from
the pen and heart of Nora Perry.
How true! I am not complaining
now that we do not love one another
lor appreciate one another. Perhaps
we do not as we ought. But believe
we love one another more than we say
And think we appreciate one another
more than we know. We loye,-yes
that is true. But one of life's terrible
tragedies is that our loved and oul
appreciation blossom out too late II
all too many instances.
There is a great host of weary mer
and women toiling on through life
toward the grave, who most sorely
need, just now, the cheering words
and helpful ministries which we car
give.
The incense is gathering all the
while to scatter about their coffins
shen they are dead. But why should
it not be scattered in the hard paths
on which their feet today are tread
ing? The kind words are lying in
men and women's hearts unexpressed
trembling on their tongues unv6iced
why should they not be spoken now
when they are needed so much, and
when their accents would give such
Chez. and hope?
The flowers are growing in beau
tiful gardens to strew on their graves;
but why not cut them now, to brighten
dreary lives and dark paths?
Many a good man goes through life,
plain, plodding, living obscurely, yet
living a true and truly noble life, do

A NONSENSICAL MEASURE.

Of all the noESenSlcal measures
proposed in the Legislature of Missis-
sippi the one introduced the other day
by some fellow from the western
part of the state to move the Uni
versity to Jackson, is the limit.
It would cost the State of Missis-
sippi $10,000,000 at the very least to
move and establish the University at
Jackson, and then it would by nc
means be to the advantage of the
school to be located in Jackson. The
University of Mississippi was estab-
lisf,ed at Oxford about rs years ago
The land was, so we have been re-
liably informed, was donated to the
State for the sole purpose of the I'm
iversity, and it was made part of
the contract that when the Univer-
sity ceased to exist at Oxford that
the land would revert to the original
"-v~ers or their heirs.
st q building on the University
oye4ty could be legally removed, and
=. tie University should be removed
from the present location the title
to the property would no longer be in
c name Of the State of Mississippi
II would be dead loss to the State;
aid debt of $10,000,0O0 would be
50 died upon the people. We do not
believe that our governor would con-
sem to measure that would more
than double the present taxes our
people have to pay; nor do we believe
that our representatives. or senators
would consider the proposition for .
minute if they were fully informed.
And the idea Of throwing the A. e.
M, and |. l. & G. and the University
all in one at Jackson. Why it would
take all the police force in Jackson to
keep order. Nonsensical expresses
in mild terms the idea of such a pro-
position.
Then again, the representatives,
while they are elected by the people,
they are not supposed to wreck the
laws already on the statute books of
the State by tearing down and des-
stroying State property-they have
no right to do it. If the University
is ever moved from Oxford, it will be
done by direct majority vote of the
people of the State
There is no more ideal location in
the State than Oxford for the Uni
versity. What the Legislature should
do, would be to give the University a
liberal appropriation at once to
erect the necessary buildings and
equip the institution for taking care
of our young men and women. The
coming generations as well as the
present, are going after an education
and if Mississippi does not provide
place for them to get this education.
they will naturally drift to other
State where more adequate facilities
are provided.

who took our common schools and
colleges to task and who so bitterly
assailed our educational institutions

/ dreamt last night devil came
And perched upon my bed;
His looks were surely far from tame
He had an "Arthropoda's" head.
His neck belonged to "Reptilia"
His shoulders were like "Amphibia"
His waist was like "Crustacea"
His legs were of the "Mammilia."
Can you imagine this awful sight
Perched upon my bed?

But my feet were heavy as lead.
