"Love thy neighbor as thyself," and "Love
your enemies." It is refreshing to turn
from Die crabbed and cranky demagogue,
ism of the Niagara niter or the insolent
infidelity of our exchanges to the serene
though oftentimes insipid Asbury with
its "love feast" aspect redolent of the amen
cornor. The poem on the "Dream of
Youth and Age" was written in a semi
archaic, style with a touch of latent sad
noss that was perchance more allecting to
tho writer than to his readers. The ar
guments advancd in the paper on co-education
were very trite, but we appreciate
the writer's diillculty in saying any tiling
now and original on so old a subject.
The objects of the Monthly us stated by
the editor are indeed awe inspiring. He
says they propose to encourage, exercise,
cultivate and develope literary genius
among the students; transmit important
news: and strike at every evil that may

arduous undertaking.
The Cornell Graphic is the only ex

The Graphieh to be congradulatcu in the
possesion of so valuable a department and
in its present condition is a credit to the
paper. Wo think the editurials in the
last number were lacking in power and

Virginia University groans under the

The Faculty of the University of Cali
foruia have very sensibly abolished all
secret societies existing among the stu
dents. Since Booth and so many of the great
men of Europe have been shot at, the
president of tlic Freshman class is afiaid
to go out on the streets alone.
"Nature abhors a vacuum" remarked a
philosophic prep, as he quickly stuffed
his inner man fiom the Prof.'s back fruit
orchard. "Force is an agent that causes
motion," murmurrcd the Prof., as he rose
out of the weeds and quickly elevated the
prep, over the ten foot fence on his pedal
tip. A'x.
Scene in Mathematics: Prof. "You
may not have time, gentleman, to careful

can at least follow out the line of argu

"Prof., on whnt page is the line of argu
ment?" Prof, (sternly): on the page of
