The Library The library! that meeting place, of tried and troubled minds, Who have a thirst for knowledge and for books of various kinds, Wl1ose authors' names and titles they sometimes misconstrue, Until the poor assistant does not know E. V. ANDREYVS NVl1en a much bestudied sLud.nt, a specialist in math., Asked for Fine's Nervous system, what made the assistant laugh? It must have been his nervousness, that made him ask for that, For 'twas Fine's Number System, he what to do! TIICICIS the New England Dictionary, which is often called N. E. 'Twas wanted by an ancient maid, who said, Please give to me That hook in lexicography, in volume ten, at least, lt's title? XVhy-oh yes, of course, its title is North East! was trying to get at. And then a bright young woman, who wished to read a book, NVl1ose knowledge was not evident in attitude or lookf I Came to the desk and pertly asked, Say. is the 'Pie book' in? And after many questions fonnd 'twas Huckleberry Finn. XVhen told to look up mosses in a Nature Study class, And the catalogue consulted, they only found-alas! One book-by Mr. Hawthorne-which was called for-what a chance! Exactly what they came for, Mosses from an olcl Romance. Next the pedagogic student with an air perturbed and sad, Called for Hanus' book on values, Not that clean one, which I had, But the old one where the pages, that are used in recitation, Are worked by those who've had before this very tribulations. Oh, if those walls could only speak, what tales they'd have to tell, Or if the head librarian would publish books to sell, Of the jokes and cracks ofNorn1alites, whom she meets every day, The laugh would be on them sometimes: sometimes the other way.
