Once, In a little western town,
Thero lived i man of no renown,
Except for sawing wood;
It seems ho hud no other trmlc,
Or elso ho chose thin as an aid
To got his dally food.
But let this ho an it may he,
As reg'lar as would come each day,
lie piled tho saw and axe;
I've seen him In a pile of wood,
Enough to fence a neighborhood.
Or pay n farmer's tax.
I've seen iho people pasa him by,
Yet never ou".c, alas I have I
Observed them sput.1; tn him :
.They rather laugh at his low lot.
While sawing through some stubborn knot,
That grew upon tho limb.
Nono seemed to question whence ho came,
Mono seemed to care to know his name,
Uncared-for tolled ho on ;
Obscure his business may have been.
Yet thero a moral was within
Tho wood that ho had sawn :
This life is but a knotty life,
And, In tho unrelenting strife
To gain a livelihood,
The toller should bo eulogized,
All labor Phould bo highly prised.
If only sawtng wood.

Obituary.
One of the young lady students, but n
short time since, was asked if she intend
ed to join the literary society, to which
she replied: I don't know; there lias been
some trouhlc'm the society which has
finally resulted in the dissolution of the
old Palladian, the gentlemen having with-
drawn and formed another society, tho
Rouglis remaining in charge of the
former.
Wo are well aware that, in the few
woidswemay say upon the subject, we
shall in no way injure the feelings of the
one who made the remark, nor others who
might bo equally lady-like; for doubtless,
the opinion of one of the "roughs" would
nmount to but little in their estimation.
We do not take exception to the word
"roughs," for, in one sense of tho word,
we are obliged to acknowledge the truth
of the young lady's statement that is,
figuring from the lady's standard of a gen
tleman. Wo may not bo "Oh! no nice!"
nor wear a necktie that is " so pretty 1" nor
"lift our hats so genteelly!" nor make
"sucJi a polite bow!" Yus, if those are
the necessary qualifications for a gentle
man, we arc " roughs."
Our society is composed, to a great ex
tent, of young men who came here with
out hitherto cither from inclination or
poorer circumstances having enjoyed the
advantages of associating with tho class
of society to which theyoung lady belongs.
We may be rustic in our manners, though
we trust that the opportunity afforded for
an education, and the many advantages
of our society will be and are appreciated ;
that we may have some higher aim than
to bo known as gentlemen, simply from
the clothes we wear, or the manner in
which ivo lift our hats or make a how.
This is not intended to cast any reflec
tion upon the young gentlemen who have
withdrawn from the Palladion. Many of
them are particular friends, and all of
them young men for whom we have tho
. highest respect To tho members of th j
Palladian one word; though that terri-
The Student chronicles in this issue
the death of Amok 0. Webster, which oc
curred Sunday the 21st inst. Miss Web
ster was a student of the University at the
time of her decease, and is the first case
of death amonjr the students since the
opening of the University.
The death of Miss Webster is a severe
afiliction not only to her family, but to so
ciety and to tho University. Her ns-ddu-ity
and ability, as well as her fidelity and
correct deportment made her greatly es
teemed by her instructors, and her pres
ence was a healthful influence in the Uni
versity. Posesscd of a quick and active
mind she gave promise of excellent schol
arship, which can now be completed only
in a higher presence, and under more fa.
voring circumstances. She died in the
firm hope of the better life, and with tin
shoakn trust in the Savior's saving power.
The sympathy and condolence of the
Faculty and students are given to the
family so suddenly and grievously bereav
ed. Let us as students remember her vir
tues and emulate her example.

If there is anything that appears llko a "blind

ered, however, from iho effects of tho accident
and looks as smilingly as over through a now
