It is said that certain men spent two weeks or
more canvassing for their candidate, and pledg
ing Freshmen to vote for him. . We do not wish
to be understood as saying anything derogatory to
any of the three candidates. But we do say, and
most strongly, that all such behavior as we have
recounted may be in place among Tammany
heelers, but is an outrage when perpetrated among
college men. It should not be tolerated for an
instant. It is an insult to every man in college."
The Lafayette in commenting on the benefits of
athletics to a college has a strong editorial' in fay.
or of the same and we wish we had the space to
clip the whole of the article. The following para

"A college therefore giving judicious attention
to the cultivation of the physical as well as the
mental man will reap its reward, not only in the
increase of its attendance due to her sons'
achievments, but in the glorious laurels which the
strong and healthy intellects, fostered in wisdom

COSTLY KNOWLEDGE.
Conditions confront one and tutors are dear ;
Alas for my sad situation 1
I must save all my cash, and spend it I fear
In gaining a hire education.
THEIR FIRST BREAKFAST
One sip of coffee hot he took,
He set aside the steaming cup,
And then beneath the table reached,
His wedding trousers to turn up.
"Why act like that ?" she said to him,
. Her face with glow so ruddy ;
He merely said with husky voice :
"Your coffee, love, is muddy."

TILE DEPARTURE
With streamers gay she sailed away
Across the waters bine,
Until upon the ocean's edge
She slowly sank from view.
A. maiden sweet with dhnplod cheek
Was weeping on the shore ,
The ship had borne her love away
And they would meet no more.
She dried hor eyes and choked her si
And said "Though long the night,
I'll always think when life is drear
lie's simply, 'out of sight. , "
THE; DANDELION
"T was morn and o'er the mead I went,
Whore ruddy clover bloss3MS grew,
And flowers awoke in sweet content,
To bathe themselves in morning dew,
As lost In thought, I slowly strolled,
Nor had a care where I should stray,
A youthful throng, with locks of gold,
Hound upon the hearth at pay. .
Another morn, and once again
I chanced to roam the self same way,
And lo I I saw but aged men,
With slender forms and hair so gray."
TRUE LOVE'S COURSE.
I wrote one to Kitty
And wrote one to May.
Both live in the city, •
'Twas Valentine's day.
And I put—more's the pity
Their names In each ditty,
I wrote one to Kitty
And wrote one to May.
Both live in the city,
'Twas Valentine's clay.
I am quite fond of Kitty
And, well—l like May.
So I posted each ditty,
In haste—more's the pity
I send one to Kitty
And send one to May.
Now the one I wrote Kitty
I posted to May.
Alas i what a pity
On Valentine's day.
And May's went to Kitty.
Their names in each ditty,
Both lived ih the oily,
And the deuce is to pay.
