Our University. NEVER before has so much interest been manifested in the Universited by the press and people of the state as now. Strong and judicious management warmly seconded by enthusiastic students have brought this about. The advanced positions taken by the University on scientific and educational questions and the vigorous manner in which they have been maintained, compels attention where she speaks. Her counsels are waited for and eagerly received by other colleges and scientific associations of the state and of the west. In all her history she was never so closely watched and so much talked of as to-day. Her students have caught the inspiration and means are being devised by which the contagion can be spread among our future Legislators. With the discontinuance of the preparatory department and a little more liberal support from the commonwealth she would take ranks among the proudest institutions of our land. The vindictive tirades on the want of religious influences made by some of her contemporary colleges are weak and absurd. Her students are in every way a representative body. Their initiative in everything pertaining to college affairs has been the admiration of the students of other institutions, and just now they are entertaining schemes which, if carried out, will do much to unite the students of the State and materially elevate college spirit. The athletic association contemplates a closer union of college men and who can foretell the good to be derived from such a movement? Let the work go on. The students of other colleges naturally look to us to lead in such things. Let us not disappoint them, and again, all these things help us. By a little energy displayed who can tell how many young men and women may be attracted to the University? And when once within, the fascination is complete! She holds them. She transforms them and sends them out unmeasurably better prepared to meet the battles of life. The import of the approaching oratorical contest should not be overlooked; but of course the university man will comprehend it. Nothing escapes him. Especially does he never take a back seat in things pertaining to oratory. The university man must have room to expand. He is constantly bubling over with enthusiasm and ever ready to impart it to others. Ladies and gentlemen silk Umbrellas at Bromelsick's.

NON SINE LACRYMIS. Tired with old crief's self-pitying moan, A mile I had not stravel'd. I was that hour when vernal Earth And stormy March prepare To greet the day of April's tearful birth That I o'come with care. Rose with the twilight from a diress hearth And smile of morning's mirth. Ere my dim path grew dark with double zone Of men full fair arrayed, White blent with sound of battle-trumpets blown Came, as through light comes shade, Cries like an understone. Plummed with tree cloud, March met the way, With spear-point keen for thrust. And anger eyes, and hurried form swathed gray Found his bruised backside in bright letters lay This scroll which tollers trust: [The author's] Wet as from wallering showers and suns, A small mirror of him. He held a cup with saidest imageries Enravena, and round the rim. Worn, with woe's lip, 1 break out words like these. These are words that do not fit. Though sorrow-stained and dim: Non sine lacrymis. These passed like regal spetsis crowned, Stone梅, March and April, late. And then a sphere-music music slow unwound its soul mourn the air. And so as exhalations from the ground, Oxygen passes from lungs and hearts. Or spring flowers here and there. These words rose through the sound: "Man needs these two in this world's moll, Earth's drought and dwarf of spheres. Griec's freshening mium to lay the dust of toil. Toll's dust to dry the tears. To all who rise as wrestlers in his life's cool time, gives, with days and years, the strength to fight. O Tell in vain without surcense! O Greet so kind one star! Think on these words when work or woes in creeat; Man, made of tears and clay.

We heard that they wanted money. We wanted goods, and seeing that peculiar twinkle in Bayless' eye, we knew that something was going to turn up. Now here are the facts: We find by his own words and the size of their stock that they have too much for the inner man, and judging by the effect their goods have on themselves we had better while cheap, get on the outside of some ourselves. Can't remember that we ever bought goods so low! In fact, while others are advertising to close out, we find that the I. C. G. by their prices might always be considered as closing out. It is "an old chestnut" in Lawrence, when you hear merchants say they are closing out, unless they give the proof by making prices. You remember when we were on the car of overhearing one person whisper in the ear of a friend that they always went to the I. C. G. Store to get prices even if they did buy of some one on credit, for then they knew they would not have to pay them too much on any goods in their line. So, thinking the matter all over and knowing how hard my poor husband had to work to keep up the table and clothe himself and family, I made a new resolve on January 1, 1890, that instead of his always having that troubled look on his face we would meet him with a smile when he returned home after a day's work and show him how much ready cash we had saved by trading at the INDAINA CASH GROCERY.
