THE DEAN OF DURHAM.

Our beloved Dean completed his 75th year on Sept. 7th, and received many presents and congratulations from his friends on his having attained the ripe age of threequarters of a century. Amongst them not the least acceptable was an address from the Senior Scholars of the School, in Latin Verse, a copy of which we are enabled to give to our readers, together with an English version by the Captain of the School.

Atur ad picturam illam opificum cura et sumptibus in Hospit aula Waddingtoniana nuper suspensam.

[TRANSLATION.]

Blessing and joy attend the happy day

Which sees thee number seventy years and five,

Revered father with one voice we pray

Still many a year as happy may'st thou live.

Look on the months just past; how many signs
Of thy kind hand on every side appear!
Where the last day-beam on the Abbey shines,
Thy window casts its sacred shadows there.
Recovering sickness owes its home to thee:
+Us too in that same care thou dost embrace.
The workman saw and loved thy charity,

And will'd that thine own walls! thyself should'st grace.

Yet nought of this thine aim-thou seek'st in Heaven
More true reward, nor car'st for human praise;

So fare thee well! live-and with life be given
Blessings on earth, pure joys, and cloudless days.

+ The allusion is to the new Sanatorium about to be built for the use of Durham School.

In allusion to the Dean's picture, painted at the request and expense of the working men of Durham, and placed in the Wadd.ngton Convalescent Ward.
