...interest of $1,000 for the best essay from any member of any department of Harvard College. He assigned for a subject, "Universal Peace and the Methods by which War may be permanently suspended." Though none recognized more fully than he that armed injustice must be crushed by the strong hand of power, he still numbers himself among those who believe that in some future age the Diplomat shall entirely supersede the General. It is a matter of some doubt, perhaps, whether Universal Peace shall dawn before the Millennium. Matters of boundary-lines may be decided by councils, and wars...
MISS KELLOGG'S company, now at the Boston Theatre, though by no means so strong as that which delighted us two years ago under the management of the Rosas, has thus far appeared to advantage, in a succession of popular operas.

...between midnight and morning is not likely to be of the most permanent character. The utmost ambition of some men seems to be to retain their information on any subject till twelve o'clock on the day of an annual; then, as if the pent-up knowledge was too strong for the brain that contained it, it hastens to dissipate itself and relieve the unaccustomed pressure. It is safe to say that not one tenth of what we cram for an examination ever remains by us to be of any subsequent...
