THE =VS% Lazily, hazily, creeping along, Murmuring ever its dreamy song, Through the meadow and by the lea Flows the river to moot the sea. Now in the shadow and now in the sun, In and out the deep waters run ; Seeming to hold a deep mystery Down in their dark depth's secrecy. Many years has the river flowed Through the meadow, beneath the road, Many a tale might the waters toll Gliding along by hill and doll. So on its mission it flows along, Humming its dreamy, musical song, Ever pursuing its quiet way, Lazily, hazily, day after day. EXCHANGES. The Wilson College Phardra, for some reason, which we are unable to explain, has not reached us the last few months. We wish the Exchange editor , would give the matter attention as we feel that the paper of the largest female college in our State, and one of the largest in the country, is very essential to our exchange list. We have received our first edition of The Ma roon and White," a neat little paper published by the preparatory department of Georgetown College. The Maroon and While will be a magnificent school for the future editors of Georgetown College Joi/r -nal, and the experience they are now receiving will be of invaluable service two or three years later. The Wake Forest Student is one of the best of our exchanges. There is a literary air about it that few of the exchanges of our very largest colleges can surpass. The April number is an unusually good one. "Capital Grumblers" is the subject of an' exceptionally good editorial. In it the authors show the evil that must occurr, if the tendency, so prevalent to-day, to estrange capital and labor be kept up ; he shows how the two should be mutual ly friendly to each other and predicts that when such friendship . shall exist we may expect "peace and good. will among men." "The New Feudalism" is the subject of another leading editorial. In it the author deplores the THE FREE, LANCE. tendency of the Wealth of the country centering in a few individuals. We clip the authors closing views on the subject. • "Either those laws which now so powerfully aid the rich and oppress the poor must be repealed, or the great body of the people will become the de pendents and bondsmen of the few lordly million aires. In this condition of serfdom they will not long remain ; it is contrary to the spirit of Anglo- Saxon freedom. Americans will not long endure such a vile servitude, and when they rise to shake off their chains, those who have riveted them may beware; the wrongs of many years will be aveng. ed in an hour, and the liberty loving citizens will resume their normal condition of free and inde pendent men. —Branonian "Pages from the Past" and the "Carolina Cor sair" are also worthy of mention. But the scope of the "Student" is most forcibly illustrated in the ability of its editors to present, in the same issue, a clear and logical discussion of such an important question of the day, as is the capital and labor question. . The editor of the "Dickinson Seminary Jour nal" gives us the gratifying information that "Next year the ladies are to have a tennis, court." We do not know what other improvements (?) they expect to have within the next few years at the Seminary, but we presume that the editor will inform us three or four years in advance. It would seem to us that it would be displaying much better taste if the editor were to wake up, come to the assistance of the ladies, and wade into the authori ties for not having long before this placed tennis courts at their disposal, thus creating such a senti ment that long before next year the ladies' tennis court will be a thing of the present and not of the future. The April number of the " Lantern," of the Ohio State University, is jubilant over the passage of the Hysell bill by the Legislature of that State. The passage of the bill adds nearly sioo,ooo to the yearly income of the University.
