ADSTUDENTES,
Vob salutant typos lamcutcs,
Qui "Pecunlam gratam" semper dlceutos;
Vobls stntjucundac horae,
SI nobis non causa morno.
Gratani nobis est nrgentem,
Durum eft si loafer ventum;
Turn stt lingua semper brevia
Tuuc est labor nostra levis.
COLLEGE POETKY.
or all the curious things of time,
Cranky metre and cranky rhyme,
Aimless reaching lor the sublime,
The worst is college poetry.
Vapid gush of a gusby Miss,
Scnttmcuts on a fun and kiss,
Vealy co-ed effusion; this
Is college paper poetry.
Pointless doggerel, misused slang,
Odes to Uacchus with beery tang;
Oh I for a club with which to bang
The author ol college poetry.
ATTHECO.FAIK:
She was delicate, dainty and sweet,
He was jocular, jaunty nud neat;
As tboy Ptrayed hand in hand
Past the crowd by tho stand,
Said he but I dare not repeat.
A youtg mau from a rural precinct
llought "A history, full and succinct,
Of the tribes of the earth
Since the day of its birth I"
Hlf remarks were quite strong and dlstluct.
(It was au almanac.)
Wo know not where wo go, or what sweet dream
May pilot us through caverns strange and fair
Of far and pathless patslou, while tho stream
Of life our bark doth on its whirlpools bear,
Spreading swift wings as mils to the dim air;
Nor should wo seek to know, so the devotion
Of love and gentle thought be heard still there,
Louder aud louder from the utmost ocean
Of universal life, attuning Its comiiiotlou. fsliellty.
Throughout the President's reception a sorrowful
crowd of Sophomores remained sadly outside. To raise
their drooping spirits two of them nut up a fiendish joke
on the wailing hackmen. They came as those having au
thorily and kindly invited their victims to follow them in
to the kitchen aud refresh. Sliding behind a convenient
partition, they watched the unsuspicious charioteers go
Innocently in aud a moment later the cook held au im
