Cayuga.

If in a destructive mood, try the various readings for "Cayuga" which a glance at the map of Maine will suggest. Seriously, we like the poem exceedingly, and though the author shows inexcusable carelessness in places, - as in rhyming "maid" with "made," and "thee" with "thee," such blemishes are as nothing compared with the sentimental puling and precocious goodiness which we have learned, alas! to expect in many of our exchanges.

THE May number of the Lippincott's Magazine, in interest and variety, contrasts favorably with any previous issues. "The Roumi in Kabylia" is continued. Few are acquainted with either the people or the country which this essay so well describes. Margaret Howitt contributes a pleasant record of her residence in a country town in the Pusterthal. But of all the articles those which interested us most were those on "Salmon Fishing in Canada" and "Cricket in America." The one so attracts us that, were the time at our disposal, nothing would be esteemed a pleasanter amusement than the privilege of capturing this noble fish in the streams of the Dominion. The other is a timely article on a game which in this country is gaining ground slowly, for which, however, its admirers claim much. The present position of cricket is well stated, and all who are interested will find their pleasure served and instruction gained by reading this. The article on "Wilmington and its Industries" is one not so attractive to our minds, and seems somewhat out of place in a magazine of such a popular character. No doubt, however, it will please some. For our own part, we are tempted to wonder how much the various manufacturers pay to have cuts of their buildings so prominently exhibited, and their various productions so well advertised. Those who are interested in fiction will find much to please them, and those, too, who seek for witty sayings will not be unsatisfied if they turn to "Our Monthly Gossip."

A SOPH. gets mad at his girl, and avenges himself thereby: -

"I know a girl who walks the street,

With many a quirk and kink;

If I should go with such a girl,

What would my mother think?

I'll leave that girl severely alone,

The flattering little mink;

Were it known at home all the lies she's told,

What would my mother think?"

College Days.THEY have been having a public rehearsal of the musical department at Ripon, and College Days has a full and satisfactory account of the proceedings. It pats Miss Alice Clark on the head for being a good player for one of her age, and mentions Miss Merriman for having performed her part in an artful manner. Did she ogle the audience, or what?

ANOTHER Methodist university is proposed! At Washington. Call it Wesleyan University of D.C.! Seven is a sacred number, and Wesleyan is a holy name. There are, already, six "Wesleyan Universities" in this country; this will fill up the measure! - University Herald.

EXCHANGES report righteousness below par at Michigan University. Sand; wind; destruction! Rock; storms; perpetuity! - University Herald.

"A VASSAR Senior gives as her reason for smoking a cigar that it makes it smell as if there were a man around." - Ex.

"We are always glad to receive an exchange which is not in the 'ring.' We open it with a sense of security against meeting the 'Enviable Mr. Vassar!' and the means of self-delusion employed by the Vassar Senior pining for masculine society. The University Herald, in its excellent hints to its successors, recommends that a few small items be always set up to be ready to complete a column in case of need. We should judge that most of the college periodicals have the above-mentioned stereotyped into permanencies, and introduce them, if need be, on every page of their publications. But we did not start to say this; - we are glad they have found such never-failing well-springs of pleasure." - Vassar "Miscellany."
