Sweet hud of promise snatched away,
In life's first opening lilnmn;
Just tasted of earth's hitter cup,
Then shrouded for the tomb.
Those eyes are closed in death's lant sleep,
And iu that dreamless bed,
They laid him to his quiet rust
With the unnumbered dead.
Fond parents on that marble brow,
Imprint thi long last kiss:
Ah, yes, but ho's an aiile now,
In a brighter land than this.
That child-like voice is heard no more
At the parental hearth,
Aad yon who loved him well, have felt
How frail are joy of earth.
He's with the Savior, who hath shed,
' For him his precious blood;
Who ha le him join the infant train,
And took him home t God.

om of tha reader of yoar valaabl aH.r
to liaro that the Winter term ot schmd in

Recitation and dialogues, both amusing
and sentimental, to the number of ab ut
tweuty-Kve, were recited with credit to the
s eakers and actors, followed by an able ad
dress ou Education, delivered by the teacher.
A few friendly remark and highly coinp i

Spectator.
To Mr George Belshaw.
Editor GfAiti), Sir: -I will make one more
proposition to Mr UeUhaw for a wheat and
flour contest We may learn from Mr lietshaw'a
letter in the (iL'Alti) that he will have nothing
to fear in thu content that I prnpiie, I well
know that he ha expeiiiuented largely with
many varieties of of wheat, and ha been the
winner iu numerous tests, if not in all cases
where he has offered or accepted them. One
reason why I wish for a wheat and fl ur con
tent with him is to try to raise the grade of
wheat and flour by a coinpuri nn of the same
with his. I Would use in such couipaiisou a
variety of wheat I obtained of him, and one
that 1 think is much superior to the little club
t'clu-rally grown east of the Cascade mountain.
I am quite sure Mr lielnhaw wi'l aooept my
proposition, and if iu Join,' so we cm rai-e the
grade of our wheat, II the honor shall hi
awarded to him. I uj.vpt the 'u points to lie
pused iihiii by t te j.l 1,'c.h of t'M wlmtt, and
will add an additional one, viz, weight per

One day last week invitations were issued
by the President to about twenty students
to visit hiin at hit room at half past one

obeyed the summons, aud those uuiuyited

An Unfortunate Benefactor.
Much regret is expressed by student of the
University for the financial misfortunes of Mr
Villard. He will long be held in grateful re
memberauce for hi many act of kindness and
bis generosity towards us. His helping band
relieved, at a critical moment, an indebted
nesa which endangered the existence of our
college, lie pam me exi'nuse oi aiiwioiuoiuu

profearship, which now should bear his name.
He kindly furnished money to be divided
among worthy students, at a atimilustostu ly.
He donated liberally for the purchase of books
wherewith to fjiund a Uuiversity library. For
thtaj and other kind and U-nevoleut acts, he i
duly reinrniliered. And now tlust his financial
embarrassment have stripped him of bis
wealth, we should remember and honor him

Shade Trees.
Now when the subject of planting out shade
trees in the Uuiversity campus is again agita
ted, we hop the opportiuiity uf the incoming
Spring will not be allowed to pass unimproved.
Thi l-eaiitiful site might be made vastly in ire
beautiful with a little attention iu this way.
After a few year uf decorative growth, how

A Popular Demand.
A waut of the old "four year' oours" I be''
ooniing more and more apparent A large
numlier of student now in attendant, will
never take tho six year term, which is st
present reojulred, and a there ut no shorter
course, Will consequently withdraw to graduate
elsewhere, This will be a lots to the Univers
ity which It can poorly afford. While it it
plant tlmt tlie old conrto should again be
adojited RAil probably, also, aft English on of
like duration, we would not disturb the six
years term", but leave It for those who prefer to'
take It A fef may wish to prepare for pol-'
tions requiring an exteuded preparation, snd
this oprsrrtunitv will thereby remain to them.
But the many with other prisjptct iff life be
fore them want no such attainment To them
it is a ("ead lists of time, energy and meansy
Therefore, let us have the "old four year
cnurse" again; also, s p"(rely En-lish courts
of like length of time. They are greatly needed
to meet the wants of the publio at Urge,
Under such reconstruction, it is plain our
State University can soon become popular and
prosperous the pride uf the State and the
favorite of the people.

Humphrey mounted the seat and with all the
style of a '58 stage driver requested the person
who gave the "Eipiine Marxadox" entertain
ment to take the seat beside hiia. Doth were
dressed in regulation hunting suit, and
wore the new style of dud hat. The banker
commanded the hotses So go, at the same time
giving them a push on the Hum, but they
would not budge an Inch. Aftsr a tiia the
burses began rearing and jumping, when the
barber commenced exclaiming, "for God'
sake, don't let them get ia the shop," as
he had gone out of the show busiotss. At
about this juncture the barber said he wanted
1 1 tee a man down th street and he deserted
his friends. After nuotbtr trial at pushing
the steeds the banker remeinliereJ that he
hadn't made his will aud to he retired, a wiser,
but not prouder man. Luckily for th beyt that
admirable jehu, Mr Ed MoClanahan happen-
peued along and took aaarge of the team and
drove them aliout the streets, whea said yaung

content of the gun into the decoy. - (The
gun wo loaded with blank cartridges. The
blocks of wood not taking to their wing he
reloaded and fired two more charge, but
without alarming thtm. Then he waded into
the creek, thinking that he had wounded
them, when lo and behold he discovered the
trick, The following Is the score of the parties
