As is also "Depopulation of America." The
author advances some very excellent ideas. "That
Ignis Fatuus Custom" is also worthy of mention.
Quite a number of our exchanges, mostly west
ern ones, devote not a little space—often as much
as two pages—to the. noting of books recently
added to their libraries. It seems to us that the
space could well be filled with reading. matter
which would be much more interesting to the stu
dent body. We cannot see how any staff of any
college journal can allot space, in issue after issue,
to informing the public generally that the reports
of the secretary of Internal Affairs, of the Auditor
General, of the State Treasurer and the Agricultur
al Report of IS9o, have been received, with here
and there some hooks of history or fiction sandwich
ed in. If the students of such colleges must know
the books that are being added from time to time,
would it not be much better for them to go to the
library and consult the librarian's bulletin of
books recently received.
The Campus, of Allegheny college, in com
menting on the coming election of a new staff, sug ,
Bests that the number of editors be reduced. It
says that of the twelve members of the present
staff but five of that number have been regular con
tributors to the Campus.

.1. LOVELY SCENE
We stood at the bars as the sun wont down
Behind the hills on a summer day;
Iler eyes were tender and big and brown ;
Her breath as sweet as the now-mown hay,
Far from the west the faint sunshine
Glanced sparkling off her golden hair;
Those calm, deep eyes were turned toward mine,
And a look of contentment rested there.
I see her bathed in the sunlight flood
-1 see her standing peacefully now :
Peacefully standing and chewing her end,
As I rubbed her ears—that Jersey cow.
THE FIIEE LANCE.

THE SONG OF THE 1111OOK,
Merrily, like a child at play,
Hubbies the brook through its woodland
Rippling against the moss•crowned stop
Sounding in cheerful, gurgling tones t
'nettle and bubble,
Free from all trouble,
1)n 10 the river and on to the sea.
(Ire:•ping beneath some fallen bough,
Twisting around a boulder now,
Winding always In and out,
Seeming to say to all about:
Tinldo and bubble,
Free from all trouble,
On to the river and on to the sea.
Whether in sunlight or in shade,
Never seeming at all dismayed.
Wanders the brooklet babbling fret.,
Singing its cheerful tones to me :
Tinkle and bubble,
Free from all trouble,
On to the river and on to the sea.

AN EXCEPTION
Logicians sny that no phrase means
At ones both YES and No;
But they are not correct, it seems,
As one short phrase will show:
WIIERII IT MEANT "YES"-
I Kit ono ova with MIMIC, a miss
Who's pretty, sweet, and coy;
Said I, "Mantle dare I steal a kiss ?"
She said, "You silly boy."
WIIRRU IT MEANT "No"--.
And In a little while I said.
"Art angry, dear, at me?"
She smiled, and laughed, and shook her hen
"You silly boy," Bald she.
