THE HESPERIAN STUDENT. REVISED HIIYMES. (ACCORDING TO WORCESTER.) lie wiib ono of tlio University Corps, And wno always n terrible burps. Ho eat down on it barrel, And rent his apparol Thcn went home, nnd said nothing morps. There was a young lady named Vaughan, Who always arose with the daughan; She was fond of croquet, And at It did plut, 'Till she spoiled all the grass on the laughan. There was a young lady named Molllo, Whose temper was awfully squally; And they say that her tongue In the middle was hung, Which made her uncommonly jawly. Mary road a little psalm, Then went to seek her lsalm; But when attacked by an angry realm, She thought a little dsalra. There was an exuberant llama, Who met a trtiul-voru Ppama, Who said: "Llama, dear, Your antics aro queur; Pray do, I beseech you, be ccama." Wo carried the good news from Ghent; Dirk, I, und another were shunt. If I hadn't reached Alx, There'd boon the devil to palx, And that is the reunion we whont. A lahdjdnh follow named Solxas Was thought to bo rather audulxas, Till ho taw a white po Which he took for a goat, And skedaddled, exclaiming, "Good grcIxaBl" There was a young woman from Ilawarden, Who said to a man: "1 beg pawardenl But I notice tbehnzo Obscures the sun's raze, Suppose we go out In the gwurdonf " There was a protestor named Aughey, Who found an old roek, to his Jaughey. lie said It wasgnclts, But 'twas proved In a gtrotss To be nothing more than allaughey. POME OK A POSSUM. Thu nox was lit by lux of luna, And 'twas a night most opportune To catch a possum or a cooni. For nix lay scattered o'er this mundus, A shallow nix et 11011 profundus. On sic a nox - 1th cauls unus, Two boys went out to hunt forcoonus. The corpus of this bonus canls Was full as long as octospan Is, But brevlor legs bad canls never Quum hud hlc dog. bonus, clover. Somo used to say In sultum jocum, Quod a Held was too smail locum For sic a dog to make a turuuB Clrcumsell from stem to eternus. This bonus uog had ono bad habit, Amabat much to tree a rabbit; Amabat plus to chai-e a rattus ; But on this ulxy moonlight night This old canls did Just right. Nnmquam treed a starving rattus, Numquam chased a starving cattus, But cucurrlt on intentus, On the (rack and on the scentus, 'Till ho treed a possum strougum, In a hollow trunkum lougnm, Loud he harked, In horrid bellum, Seemed on terra venit polluiu, Quickly ran the duo pucr Mors of post-urn to secure, Quum vcncrlt, ono begun To chop away llko qulsciuo man. Soon the axe went through the truueum, Soon he hit it all kcrchunkum; Combat deepens; uuo braves I Canls, puerl ft staus; As his powers non-lougum tarry, Possum potest non puguare. On the nix his corpus lieth, Down to Hades spirit tlleth, Joyful puerl, canls bonus, Think him dead as any stonus. Now they sock their pater's domo, Feeling proud us any homo Knowing, certc, they will blossom Into heroes, when with possum They arrive, narrabunt story, Plciius blood et pleulor glory. Pompey, l)ald, Sampson, Ciesar. Cyrus, ilackhawk, Thalmaneser? Tell mo where est now the gloria, Where the honors of Victoria? Quum ad ilonium unrrent story, Pleuus sanguine, tragic, gory, Pator prulsoth, likewise mater, Wonders greatly younger frator. Possum leave thoy on thu mundus. Go themselves to sleep profundus, Somniuut possums slain la battle, Strong as ursau, large as cattle. When nox gives way to lux of morning, Album terrain much adorning, Up they Jump to see the varmen, Of the which this If the carmen. Lol posBbum eslrpsurrectum, Ecco puerl dejectum, Nc relluquil track behind him, Kt the puerl never 11 ml him. Cruel possum I bestln vilest, How the puoros thou beguilest; Puerl think not much of Ciesar, Go ad orcum, Thalmaneser, Take your laurels, cum the honor. Since lsta possum is a goner I How posturing little lliings will hap pun. A btrangor in a Middlesex County village was looking fur a man named On (luck, and when ho went up to a fellow und nbkeil: "Are 3011 Oixkckf" the fellow answered, "I icckon I am," and the stranger tried to talk business to him and they got all mixed up in inisunder btanding and had to be parted by the by. btanders before they got through.
