110 W ABOUT IT Tell me not deluded student, Ponies are an empty dream ; If they're used with proper prudence, Of their presence Profs. ne'er dream Cribs are real to their possessors, And they help to reach the goal ; How to reach the stern professors Bothers every student's soul. Not enjoyment, only sorrow, 'Tends the honest student's way ; Slyly we our lessons borrow, Then play foottall all the day. Greek is long, and limo is flying, Maidens are strolling down the walk ; Quickly then our clubs applying, We go out and have a talk. In the college held of learning, In the class room's busy strife While the rest success are earning, We ride ponies big as life. Trust no author for your lessons, For the pony's much the best; Crib—orlb your language lessons, And stop your flunking like the rest Former students don't deceive us, For the ponies used of yore, Though departed still they leave us Footprints on the sands of lore. Footprints which we view with gladness, Sailing o'er the college main. Though forlorn and filled with sadness, Quickly we take heart again. Thus we go alt study spurning ; And maybe when our course is done, We will have as much of learning As when it was first begun. ..Teinpus fugit,"EUid the Roman; Yes, alas, 'tie fleeting on, Ever coming, ever going, Life is short and soon 'tie gone. lint as 1 think of next vacation, Pouring o'er these, lessons huge Ever harder, ever longer, All I say is, "Let her Inge' ." law in phy .

Yale Recood MEMORY'S HARP. Easter lilies tall and fair, Shea sweet perfume on the air, From their bell.formed throats so yellow Bark ! I hear a music mellow. • For their fragrance softly rings Gentle music to the strings Of my memory's harp; I hear Sweet vibrations echoing near. As that music gently swells, Tales of long ago it tells. Life's sweet spring time it recalls; Fallen arc Time's barrier walls. But the fragrance slowly wanes, Dying are the memory strains. Sweeter music ne'er was known Than this music that bath flown. —Nassau Literary Magazine.

No formal contract is required, No attention is desired, • No witty lawyer need be lured To plead in equity. If only love their hearts has stirred And each that love Use felt or heard They may without a single word Commit embracery. A little iron, A cunning curl ; A bot of powder, • A pretty girl. A little rain, • Away it goes ; • A homely girl With a freckled nose. Two maids as fair as fair can be, Fair maids, both blonde are they,, But both coquettes and sliallow-souled Dressed up in style today. They paint sometimes when color fails, Delight in laces fine, • Two maids, two ready.mades are they Those russet shoes of mine." —Williams Perm
