RICHARD HENRY WILDE, of Georgia, has acquired
much           as a poet, and especially as the
author of a little piece entitled ‘“ My Life is Like the
Summer Rose,” whose claim to originality has been
made the subject of repeated and reiterated attack

This instinct hated the Burschenschaft with an
intense hatred for two reasons: first of all on ac-
count of its organisation, as being the first attempt
to construct a true educational institution, and,
secondly, on account of the spirit of this in-

German spirit; that spirit of the miner's son,
Luther, which has come down to us           from
the time of the Reformation.
