And quickly launch upon its peaceful tide,
While the sun is fast declining
And the round full moon is shining
And the gentle dews of eve' are spreading wide.
And we leave the world behind us,
Seek a nook where none may find us
And where solitude may hold its peaceful sway;
Then I rest me from my rowing
Heedless whither we are going
But content that fate shall drift us where it may.
In the willows doves are cooing
And the gentle breeze is wooing
And the swallow skims his course along the strand:
In my heart then comes a swelling
Like a fountain ever welling
And a nameless longing but to touch her hand.
While my heart with hope is thrilling
All my soul with rapture filling
And it seems the gates of paradise open stand,
Through the keel there seems a shudder
Due to neither oar nor rudder,
And I 'woke to find us grounded on the sand.
But this "hope," its springs eternal"
Fair as blossoms ever vernal
And I see that fate has played right in' my hand;
For the boat has ceased its tipping,
Ceased its treach'rous, dang'rous dipping,
Safely moored and firmly grounded on the sand.
Then I manf'ly spoke and truly
Calmed my fears erstwhile unruly—
In a "round unwarnished tale" I did appeal;
And she smiled upon me sweetly,
And she chided all discreetly—
Spoke of strategy and the position of the keel.
And I thanked the doves for cooing,
Thanked the gentle breeze for wooing,
And the swallow skimming ever along the strand;
And I blessed my heart for swelling
Blessed the waters 'round us welling
But most of all the fate of grounding on the sand.

One of the first steps required by the constitution of the new paper is the calling, by the Chancellor, of a joint meeting of the Senior classes of the five Schools of the University for the purpose of choosing five members of the Senior classes to act as members of of the Advisory committee. This joint meeting is to be called for to-day, April 12th. At that meeting each voter may vote either for five persons as members of the committee, or may cast five votes for one member of the committee, or may distribute the five votes in any manner desired. It is not intended that these five Senior members of the committee shall be in any way regarded as representatives of the school in which they are students; they should be chosen solely with a view to their fairne s, impartiality, and possession of sufficient acquaintance with University affairs and students to enable them to do justice in all cases.
