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

Youth and Age" was written in a semi
archaic, style with a touch of latent sad
noss that was perchance more allecting to

Virginia University groans under the

The Faculty of the University of Cali

"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
