P ditorial Ij1 X these pages the editors of The Reveille have f endeavored to present to the public, in as intclligi- ble a form as possible, many of the facts so interest- ing and even pleasing to the students and faculty of Kenyon College. To be accurate in a work of this kind—historical in char- acter—requires much work, with long and careful reading. We do not doubt that any one disposed to criticise can easily find many serious faults, as it is impossible to keep so many pages free from error. But we have had access to a number of public libraries, whose contents treat of these facts, and thanks to our kind friends, much has been gained from private documents. Facts ! we say. Because that is what tins book contains. If any one shall doubt concerning the validity of statements herein, we feel sure that it will arise from a misunderstand- ing of passages. What we say. we claim is true. But we can not vouch for what we do not say. Please understand us. We request the public to take this work, as all men 8 THE REVEILLE. should their wives, “for better or worse.’ It you are pleased with it, rejoice; if you are displeased, or even offended, “ hold your peace.” This book should be read by all women and some men. And most especially do we recommend it to those in trouble and distress; here ye will find comfort unto your souls. Hut for those who arc in love, we can offer no especial aid. having never experienced the sensations of that pas- sion. We are sorry not to be able to devote, at least, part of tills edition to the comforting of all our fellow-students, who walk with drooping heads and swollen hearts. Per- haps. however, it is best that nature unaided should run its course, leaving some in life-long sorrow and others in measureless joy. before taking leave we tender our heartfelt thanks to those who have been patient with us while burdened with this laborious task, and in our next edition we will laud and magnify the patrons of this— (continued in our next.) 3card ct Trustees Rt.

TfrllE Historian herein consigns to posterity the last ® page of the history or “ ’85.” It is with commingled sadness, regret and relief that we approach the final chapter of that history. Without entering into comparisons, which would be not only odious but derogatory to other classes, we may spare our pen its modest blush and point to that career which has with speechless eloquence proclaimed the merits of our class. The surging tempests of four years have shown us inac- cessible to their corroding influence; true, now and then one of our number has succumbed to the resistless call of circumstances, but even now our lines arc still unbroken. The skill in horsemanship evinced on various occasions by our noble body of cavalry must even by the faculty be confessed to have been—extraordinary. It is.needless to say that the deftness in other mental athletics lias been no less remarkable. Such, then, arc the results to which a careful investigation of facts have led; such is a brief retrospect into our college days now rapidly drawing to a close. We turn with buoyant hopes to look into the future. The Historian's pen is laid aside to make room for the Biographer. p cc A. S. DUDLEY, . C. P. HARNWELL, W. K. GRANT, . GEO. CLARKE CON, M. A.

'TYf: v iC'f ) fc I — LJ I w ►T gLESSED is the class that has no history ! Our s has none. But it is the custom to have one, so wc must k F � 1 submit. Our class life has been either one “dem'd horrid grind ” or a monotonous round of routine work. At one time wc came near having something to record. On the 17th of last February there was a Junior promenade. Please do not misunderstand. This name was given to it, but why we cannot tell. Still it was a very pleasant occa- sion, and reflected much credit on our noble class, and did a little for the honor of old Kenyon. There were a number of fair damsels present from Mt. Vernon with a few from other neighboring places, but, oh, miserabile dictu et risu, the Barbs gobbled up everything. We had thought that our Senior class was invincible, and that not even Fresh- men could eclipse their charms. But the Barbs came down like wolves on our fold and carried off the unresisting lambs. Speaking of Seniors, the historian would like them to pay attention for a few moments. Before you go out into the world and leave our protecting care, wc will give you a little advice. Some of you have been in the habit of catch- ing your superiors on points of law, etc. That is, you have said so. Now this is a bad plan. Kvcn if you are to We would say to the outside world that the Barbs did not really get away with the lambs, but they thought they did, and wc have said this merely to propitiate the incoming Freshmen class. We understand that fully three (3) will enter next fall from Milnor. THE REVEILLE. 53 be emancipated from the galling bonds of Grades, Honors and “sich like ’ there arc honors in public life which depend quite as much on discretion as do these. Nim, when you rise to explain in court, we advise you not to show more legal knowledge than the judge. Again, do not act as though you knew more. The judge may not think so, but even if he recognizes the fact, for some inexplicable reason he does not like to be aware of it. Lon, we would sug- gest to you that you settle in some place as far away from Xim as possible ; and in this “ wheat buy and buy ” never indulge in comers. Holly, we understand you too will en- deavor to soft-soap the female with bandaged eyes and sus- pended scale. We would suggest that you look over each case before you argue it. This, of course, may not be absolutely necessary, but from your past experience it may be wise. To Hope, we simply say, “don't go near the water.’’ And now, with a few words of love, we will close. John, do take care of the children. They arc at the age when everything looks bright and when confidence runs high. Do not let them be rash, and if we are needed to go bail for them or help them escape to Canada, telegraph at once to Hilly G. He is our Solon. Good bye, dears. Drop us a postal at each station, and give our love to the clear girls. 4 !l|l rff' ©lass ©rriccrs cf ’67 C. K. BENEDICT, GEORGE W. REID, W. H. DEWART, JAMES H. YOUNG, CHARLES YOUNG, . M. H.

Ah, that was a glori- ous rush. Some thirty Freshmen against six Sophomores. Well may S7 be proud of this great victory. Numerous arc her triumphs. In her Freshmen year she was distin- guished for doing—nothing. Well may she be proud of obeying the Faculty and allowing the time honored custom of “ Bore Day ” to sink into oblivion. But in this she only followed the lead of '86, that class of prodigious valor. In her Sophomore year ‘87 is still more to be praised. The Freshmen are allowed to go their ways in peace, and even to carry canes, while '87 looks on forgetful of her duty. And how the Freshmen are abused, yes, poor things, it is frightful, but no doubt ’87 takes pity on you on account of your youthful years. Let 87 but continue in her present course and she will be the delight of the Faculty, and her name will be handed down for years to come. If only this THE REVEILLE. 57 mighty Sophomore class could follow the lead of ’85, she would become still more glorious, if that were possible. How noble is the conduct of '85 in laying aside the college gown and appearing in the habiliments of ordinary mortals, instead of trying to appear above all other classes. How self-sacrificing is '86 in allowing the college paper to die out, when we all know that she was most anxious to pub- lish it but did not out of consideration for its readers. And, while I am here sounding the praises of 87 and the upper classes, 1 might as well mention a few more things also worthy of great praise. The Kenyon Base Ball Club ought to be praised for its hard working, whether rain or shine. The students ought to be praised for the great in- terest they take in the literary societies, and in maintaining old customs. The Faculty and Trustees ought to be prais- ed for the great care they have taken of Hubbard Hall and in not erecting it for fear it should be injured by “Old Time.” The college students who room at Bexley Hall ought to be praised for the great cheapness with which they are going through college. The Faculty are to be praised in allowing the students to be represented by a senate, and to have a vote in all college matters. And yet, old Kenyon, “With all thy faults, we love thee still.” Class ©fficers of ’S3. GUV. D. GOFF, . 15. V. H. SCHULTZ, . J. F. TRIMBLE, . A. II. WHITAKER, C. F. McCANN, W. F. DOUTHIRT, . A. C.

Little did he think, as he joyfully ac- cepted the trust, of the task he was assuming, and gladly, though he appreciates the honor, would he now shift the responsibility to the shoulders of some fellow-classman. But it is too late, so, with fear and trembling, he must now begin. A Freshmen history should be modest and unassuming, and it shall be our aim to make this one so throughout. 1 lie first, and one of the most important events in the life of a class, is the rush ; but we leave that for the his- torian of Eighty-Seven to describe, as our modesty forbids any lengthy account. Suffice it to say, that Eighty-Eight achieved a most glorious victory, and that a Sophomore furnished oil for the bonfire. Eight-Eight early evinced a great interest in the Gyn � ium, and in her ranks are found a number of abl athletes.

Though valiant in arms, we do not neglect the more quiet pursuits, and we are not all examined. We thought it best to let the Sophomores beat us at base ball, that they might not feel to badly, and they have probably told you how promptly we acted concerning the wager on the game. As Eighty Eight’s existence has been so short her history must necessarily be brief in proportion, and we beg you to remember that we are but Freshmen, that you may not criticise too severely. tHfcRC IV US i ecu realisations. 5okerqiaq Trio.

The Elephant, Rhinoceros, Lion, Tiger, Buffalo, Ape, Crocodile and Hyena were pre-eminent among the animals. Their acts were arbitrary and sometimes unjust, because the Hyena was lame, and, in consequence, cross, and often did deeds not pleasing to his Fellow-Rulers and their Sub- jects. At last the Hyena saw he was losing influence, so he called the Great Animals together and proposed to give their Subjects some power. The others gladly agreed, and soon the innocent little Birds and Beasts and Fishes had selected one each to be their Minister at Court. The Reptiles were allowed to send two. The Hyena was slyly laughing in his sleeve, for he thought he had nicely fooled them. Well, it was a long time before any occasion was given for the Ministers to do anything, but finally they were summoned to the Council Chamber. In great delight they came. But the Hyena was so fierce that not even the two Reptiles dared to say a word. When the Council ended the Hyena said, “Now the Animals will be satisfied, for they have had a voice in the Government.

Supposed to have been held in Gam bier. The games being ended, Cynthie, the son of Kentucky, seeing Moses, a great lover of horses, urged him to join in a feast, and on their way to Cynthie’s house they saw Soc- rates Milminc discoursing with Nimbus the elder, Holloway the cobbler, Snyder the runner, and several others. These Cynthie invited to dine with him. At first they acted as though they would not come, but when he appeared offend- ed. they accepted and followed him to the lower end of the village. After some had bathed and others had exercised, they presented themselves in order at his table. Cynthie, when he had bidden all take their appointed couches, re- clined himself on a couch at the head of the table. They were just beginning the first course, when McCann, the buffoon, knocked at the door and desired admittance. I he door keeper, whose name was Jesse, asked Cynthie whether he should admit this buffoon. “Yes, said he,‘Met us have some sport. ” Hut when that one appeared, all were surprised at so rough a customer, and so Cynthie requested that he be removed, saying, “ his looks betray him. ” Alter this brief interruption the conversation began with renewed vigor. And Nimbus said, “ O my dear Milminc, what think you of woman, and her place in society ? And Milmine answered, “ Woman is the chief ornament in so- ciety, and society would lose all its charms were she want- itig. She seems to have been created for man to gaze upon THE REVEILLE. 73 and admire with all the admiring power lie possesses. Man, in fact, should be under her control; when she weeps let him weep louder; and when she smiles let him grin, and when she dies—let him commit suicide. “Yes, said Holloway; “but somehow, I can’t do all this for any of the fair sex. “Ah, replied Milmine, “You are not in love! At this they all laughed, and Socrates, perceiving what he had said, blushed to the tips of his ears. But the second course was now coming in, and their at- tention was drawn to this. In the midst of this course a minstrel troupe was announced. Cynthie was about to send them away, but Socrates Milminc was anxious to hear them. The troupe entered in two divisions, one with Addison at the head, was discoursing music, the other, led by Hobbs, was dancing. Those of Addison’s division were Webster, the most skillful violinist of the West; Oscar, who played the tibia, and whose mouth,as Addison declared, was shaped for that and nothing else ; and Zeke, who blew the horn. These were all trained to keep time to the movements of Addison’s knees. Those of the dancing division were Lolly and Buck, light dancers ; Mayo, dog-dancer, and Bushy, who with the assistance of a small boy named Eamie could keep six hoops in mid air. They were soon arranged on opposite sides of the room, and when all was ready Addison’s knees began to move. With this the music started up in sweet accord, and to all this the clatter of feet kept time. Hobbs was busily en- gaged in keeping his troupe in order, and in urging them on, for they were now growing tired, having danced all day. ' By this display all seemed much amused, but Socrates more than any. It was all new to him, and he was contin- ually calling out to his friends to observe how nimbly Bushy kept those six hoops above his head. 74 THE REVEILLE. Hut soon a great thump was heard, for Bushy had fainted. At this Hobbs became very angry, and madeas though he would urge him on with a thrust of his staff, but Addison checked him, saying, “He lias earned us many good ‘51111x15’ to day.” After this excitement the troupe withdrew, car- rying Bushy on a shutter. The meal was then continued with a long discourse on the propriety of dancing, and the conclusion was that round dancing was much preferable to any other, for if you should faint in that, you could not fall except into your partner’s arms. At the end of this discussion, when the fourth course was appearing, a jester was ushered in, and on being asked his name, said “I, Bill Tappan, is what they call me.” Socrates thought and remarked to his friends that this seemed a queer name, but as it belonged to a jester it was perhaps all right. At the jester’s first few jokes they all laughed heartily, but soon became engaged in conversa- tion, unconscious of his witty presence. At this the jester began to weep, and threw himself violently upon a couch. And Socrates said, “Why so, I Bill Tappan? Why is this thusiy ? ” And the jester replied, “Alas! I am with- out an occupation ! Men have grown too serious, and will not be amused ! ” At this all laughed, and Cynthie gave him a “quarter ” to wipe his eyes and go. 1 lien came the wine ; and as the dripping cups went round, Socrates urged moderation, saying, “I’ve heard that in the past year students have wakened with ruddy eyes and glassy countenances.” But Nimbus said, “That ispast and gone. Let us live for to-day.” They thus enjoyed themselves Socrates not the least. THE REVEILLE. 75 IV't I wO -3. It is rumored---- That “ Cynthie ” and “ Buck ” had a misunderstanding. That “ Moses ’ will be sent as Minister to France, on ac- count of his great fluency in speaking French. That Joe and Jesse have lost the chair, Charlie Hamwell having entered against them. [We are sorry to sec our janitors defeated after so long and careful training, yet we must confess that the prize has been fairly awarded.—Ed.] That Addison Dickinson has given up his intention of studying for the ministry, having accepted a call as pro- fessor of German at Johns Hopkins. That “Buck” and “Holly” are rivals. We bet on “ Buck. That “ Pat ” has erected a cottage on one corner of the old homestead, and will not return to college next year. That “Mac will spend the vacation in Cadiz. lake care, Charlie ! That “Clem ” will develop into a Mozart. That Prof. B---------is going to drown Hobbs, if he does not leave before the next Presidential election. That Carl Baer and La Kilbournc will enter the Seminary next September. That the chair of Mathematics in Kenyon has been offered to V. E. Grant. That the Greenback ticket for '88 will be Bowman and Ben Butler. That Clarence is Hollow way down to his socks, and that this is the explanation of his appetite. 76 THE REVEILLE. ailing fcr the Train. At the depot waiting, for a coming train ; Precious time that’s passing, ne’er returns again. Watch the people traveling, what a motley sight; Where can all be going, in this seeming flight? Hear this woman sighing, think she missed the train, For I heard her asking, when it leaves again? 0, that baby crying, weary, I suppose; Still the nurse tormenting, anxious with its clothes; There another screaming, Mother gives a slap, Her tired vengeance wreaking upon the little chap. Near by stands one bending, with the weight of years, Her wrinkled face expressing, only saddest fears ; Life is almost ending, soon the journey o’er; See, with friends she’s parting, perhaps forever more. Ah, a dude is coming, surely just from college. Home from Kenyon going, loaded down with knowledge; Pretty girl comes tripping, eyes of heavenly blue. Can that heart be beating, that he had sworn so true ? Ah, so soon forgetting the girl he left behind, The poor girl never dreaming another he will find Anxiously sits mourning for her lover gone, hilc his heart is bleeding for another one. Sec him restless waiting, with his eye askance, Lver fondly hoping for a single glance. Hark, the train is coming, quickly all aboard. For the time in wasting, none can well afford. Hoy and baby crying, Mothers hurry out, Kenyon just inquiring, of pretty girl her route. What, though age be falling, hurry, hurry all, Sec, the train is waiting, hear the whistle call.

That an old arm chair Which to this land in the Mayflower came, And was owned by a person bearing our name, Can now be bought for a moderate sum. A valuable relic ! What shall I do ? To let this chance slip would never do; This will be but proof quite near at hand. That the 44 Mayflower ” brought us to this fair land, 1 11 buy it, and write that it soon may come. Having, at last, fully made up his mind, This learned professor, so genial and kind, Wrote at once for this old arm chair, And demanded a faithful account of th affair— How it was bought ; by whom ’twas owned; And the name of the man t’whom it first belonged ; He wanted to know it all. Xot very long after a letter came Telling the story. It said the name Of the first owner (as far as we know) Was a C------S-----, a lady who lived long ago ; Who had marrried, and it gave her husband's name. To our Prof, this story seemed rather tame. This account didn’t suit him at all. So he wrote to the man who owned the chair. Told him an error existed somewhere. Hut that he (our Prof.) knew the story true. 7 THE REVEILLE. And it’s the “truth ” that we give to you. Once to New England a vessel came, Hearing the truly asthetic name Of “ Mayflower and as you all may guess. Aboard this ship was a Mr. S------, The first of that name who touched this shore, But lie liked the climate and sent for more Of his family to come. Now C------S-----was the name, as 1 said before, Of the lady who first owned the chair, but more Authentic reports say this is not true, But a man C------S------owned the chair when new. This last report our Prof, believed, And as the truth ’tis by us received ; And now in his cozy home Stands this priceless relic, the old arm chair. Looking as if it had always been there. The Professor is happy, and well may be. For it is now plain for all eyes to see I hat he didn't fib when he said he came In the ancient ship with the quaint old name. And now before us, kind and good. A sample of what can be told by blood Doth he stand ; And we can only say That we wish for him and his alway All the old arm chairs in the land.

It is well known to the writer that the practice of giving the future occupation of each member of the graduating class is somewhat out of date. But considering the re- markable promise of the class of ‘85, it was thought only fair to the world at large that it should be warned of the approach of twelve unparalleled comets in the social heavens. Having this in mind, on his return from Mt. Vernon one Sunday morning at 2:30. the Reveille man found John Smith going to breakfast. He asked John what he pro- posed to do with himself next year, and for the following ten or twenty years. “ Well, you see,” said he, “ I have been offered the po- sition of head nurse in the Peabody- Bergh Hospital for dis- abled Freshmen. I shall accept ' That settled him. The Reveille man went to bed. The next man seen was Bopc. He was chuckling tre- mendously over something. The R. M. asked to share in his cachinnations. “ You know,” said Bope, blushing very hard, •• that I have a slight peculiarity about my lower limbs; they arc, in short, bowed.” We assented. “ Well, I’ve found a man worse than I am.” “No!” “ Yes, really. Good news, eh ? f •• Immense. But say, what arc you going to do with yourself after June 25th ?” -If) fou will not tell anyone I will give you a few pointers. 8o THE REVEILLE. I have ordered at Pa’s tailor's a new dress suit (swallow tail), two new Prince Albert suits, seven Norfolk jackets, all colors, a large assortment of overcoats, and hats, shoes, neckties, etc., at other places, to match. 1 am going straight to Newport and 1 blood it. ” Here he began to sing, % '• Oh, I’m a masher, A dandy masher, etc. ' We fled in consternation. In our flight we nearly ran over Benedict. It was not worth while to stop, for every one knows he is to be a preacher, with spare time devoted to athletics and raising whiskers. The next victim was Harris. “Yes, sir,” said he, proudly, in answer to our inquiry, ‘ 1 propose to enter political life. A black cloud of por- tentious size is hanging on our political horizon. The bloody shirt must be waved, the Solid South kept intact, the Republican fciglc choked off once for all, and our country drenched in blood, if need be, to secure the blessed privileges of Free Trade.” Milmine came next on our list. It is whispered in the upper circles that he is none other than the celebrated Duke ol Bilgewater, mentioned by the historian Twain in recent publications. His lordly manner and patrician air seem to warrant the rumor. His answer to our stock question would also indicate that the report is not without founda- tion. “ I shall not trouble myself to pursue any particular oc. cupation. It is enough for the world that it may look upon me and become refined by a contemplation of the beauti- ful.” We wept. )ur drooping spirits were somewhat revived by a long THE REVEILLE. 8 I continued laugh behind us. It was Tappan—the inimitable Willie. It docs one's heart good to see so grave a states- man relax into the playful abandon of a child. He knows it pleases us. and does it often. He will accept a position in Cleveland’s Cabinet, sacrificing even his darling political views to duty. Feeling the need of a man of undoubted ability at the head of the State, Cleveland asked him to be Bayard's Successor, and requested the latter to resign. Bayard was a little hurt at first, but on being told the name of his successor, shed tears of joy that the country would at last have the man it needed. “For he himself hath said it, that political ability is a characteristic of his family. Snyder will spend the next ten years in endeavors to find a partner for life. After that he expects to be fully occupied in keeping that partner in a good humor. If we know him, he will succeed in both. Webster’s fate has been decided for him. He will be Poet Laureate of Indian Territory. He modestly sought to avoid such sudden fame, but it was thrust upon him. His first work will be a Phillipic against the Oklahoma boomers. It is rumored that the Indians were influenced in his favor by his remarkably fine head of hair. But this is gossip. Pardon, and let us turn with reverent steps to the silver- tongued orator Peters. He had an offer from Phillips Brooks’ congregation for next summer, but declined, and it is said that he and a short but eloquent 1 heologuc will make a trip through the country in the interest ol a book- called “ The Life of Grover Cleveland. He probably owes his appointment to this government position, to Secretary Tappan. Anderson will be trainer and probable successor to John L. Sullivan. 82 THE REVEILLE. There is a dark suspicion that he who goes by the unas- suming name of A. Fritsch, is not a “fritsch,” but the “hate Dauphin. Some, however, incline to the belief that he is the prospective heir of an American branch of the Rothschilds. While he and the Duke of Bilge water are not very intimate friends, it is believed they conceal their friendship in order to preserve their incognito. There is, however, in each, a refined beauty characteristic of French nobility. I-ast, but by no means least, comes Holloway. Know- ing his great interest in the education and training of young men, Governor Hoadly has appointed him Superintendent of the Reform School at Cincinnati. There was another. But we knew that neither he nor any one else could tell us what he intended to do, so we passed him over. If any one has been omitted, let him call at the office on the evening of June 25th, and all mis- takes will be rectified. THE REVEILLE. 3 ■ n wvi ct the Sreeh Tragedu. • o w (6rirlu BY MR.

THE REVEILLE. 9 rr nr- 1 iris iriend One evening as I sat in my room, after a protracted meeting of the Reveille Hoard, musing on its chances for success, and invoking in turn all the gods of editors, I fell into a doze, and was only awakened by hearing a shrill, cracked voice say, Hi, there. Wake up!” I started up, wide awake in an instant, and there, perched on the stove, like one of Dickens' ghouls on a tombstone, was one of the queerest figures I ever saw. He was small, even dwarfish in appearance, but with a face of great cunning and penetration. He was dressed like ordinary mortals, and wherein lay his peculiarity, I could not, at first, determine. On thinking it over, however, I believe it was in his resemblance, in some way or other, to nearly every one I knew on the hill. At one time he wore the bland confident expression of the Fall Term Freshman. Then his small face would pucker up into a ludicrous like- ness of ye learned Professor. 44 Well,” said I, 44 What’s up?” He lighted a cigar, leaned back against the stovc-pipc meditatively and answered: 44 I’m the Fiend.” 44The Devil!” said I, rather taken aback. “Oh, no, not the Devil—merely the Fiend. Have you never heard of me ?” 44 Never!” 44That is queer,” said he, 44 I should think the last editors would have told you. But you evidently do not 92 THE REVEILLE. know mc.so I will explain. I am the concentrated essence of all the cussctlncss seen on this lull since the foundation of the college—and Seminary, don’t forget the Seminary.” ‘Oh r He looked at me in some surprise, smoked awhile, and, as I said nothing, began again. “Lots of queer things happen round here. Now, last term, I was loafing in the woods, trying to find some robin's eggs to suck, and I saw C—x coming. He was muttering to himself, and was evidently quite luny. I dodged behind a tree and listened. What do you suppose he was saying? “ Give it up. “‘All gall is divided into three parts, D.-k-s-n lias one part, and W-t-y two parts. Then he groaned. I listened again, and presently he threw up his hands dra- matically and howled, Oh, fuller, how long will you abuse my patience.’ I was so much frightened at hearing these mystic words that I cut and ran. W hat was the matter with him? “ He is Latin tutor. “ I sabe. After this there was a long silence, which was at last broken by me. ' Mr. biend, I should like to ask your advice. Some one has proposed we make the Reveille humorous. What do you think of it? His face took on a look of most unfeigned consternation. “ oung man, don’t do it. I like your looks, and should not like to see you come to grief. And knowing the con servative spirit of Kenyon in everything, I advise you to follow close in the footsteps of your predecessors. They never attempted such a thing, and for you to do it, would be the greatest presumption. THE REVEILLE. 93 Me looked very grave for a while, and then broke into a hearty laugh. “ Oh, ho ! ho ! he ! he! ha ! ha ! If you only were going to write a joke book or an almanac, or something of that kind ; I know a rich old joke for you.” 44 I rot her out. I’ve got the blues and need something to spread my mouth ’ This from me. 44 Oh, you don’t need anything to stretch your mouth,” said the Fiend, “but here goes: the other day I. was taking in nature ‘in one of her sublimer moods,’ in the language of an eminent reader of Bohn, when I saw a double team coming. It was near Lepley’s Mill. When the carriage came close I saw that it contained three boys and three girls, and how do you think they were sitting?” Never was good at guessing,” said I. “ Well, the three girls were on the back seat and the boys in front. 1 laughed so much at the Acadian simplicity of the arrangement that I failed to see who they were, ex- cept that one was a Freshman, very dark and not very large.” “Oh, you mean D--------- “Whisht, man! Don’t you know better than to speak names? Never tell names until you find the parties will not pay anything to have them suppressed. That is one of the tricks of the trade ’ The next time it was the Fiend who started. “Can you tell me what that place is at the end of the path to the north ? I went in there the other day and saw a lot of children lying around loose. They did not seem to have anything to do, but they were all in separate rooms; as though they did not know howto behave and had to be separated.” “Why, that is where they keep the Theologucs.” THE REVEILLE 94 44 Theologues ! Oh, what a world of scorn he put into that one word. 44 Don’t know a Theologue when I see one? Haven't Theologue blood in me? Whoop! there, young man, don't rile me. I tell you these were children.” “Well, you may know better than I, but that is what they call them,” said I. 44 Ye gods and little fishes ! Ye owls of old Kokosing! Has it come to this? Why, twenty years ago I was a Theologue myself. I will acknowledge it to you. But keep it dark. W hen 1 went to Measley Hall it took a man only ten years to get his sheepskin, but these children will not be through in twenty.” He fell to musing and spoke unconsciously of his old companions. 4 4 There was Isinglass Dobbs. How we used to plhy together and gather dasies and skip like rams in the gentle springtime! But he must have gone ere this. Tis nearly twenty years ago. His petite, ethereal form would glide along nor seem to touch the ground, while his bright, beautiful head would wave when lie spoke like a fair Anemone in the evening breeze. “Now, look here, said I, with much dignity, 111 can stand a great deal; my nature resembles in more ways than one the animal typical of Freshmen. But when a man, or fund, or del'll, comes into my room professing to be my friend and pretending to help me out of my difficulties, and then meanly uses his advantage to palm off some spring poetry on me, it is a little too much. Git! !! W ith that 1 raised my foot and made a terrific kick at him anti knocked down ---------- the stove-pipe. But the Fiend had vanished, and I was alone. THE REVEILLE. 95 ©ream of Hsrenee. I dream pt I stood upon the Etrurian hills, From whence the Arno springs in silver rills. That, leaping gaily down the mountain side. And broadening gently to the eager tide. Flows proudly onward in a stream of gold. Embracing Florence in its loving fold. And Clio, gentle muse, beside me stood, And of her love poured forth a crystal flood. 'Flic role of Flore nee read, she gave to me A vision of the past, that I might see Her history, close crowded in one day. And her long list of heroes pass in close array. ’1 is morning, and Aurora's crimson blush Awakes in Arno a respondent flush; Adown the mountain side, her spicy breath Creeps soft and silent as the feet of death And from the sleeping city lifts the veil. That night hath spread out for a hastening sail. Rises Fiesole from her calm height, Her walls and towers fall upon my sight, While from her gates, I see the people go To trade with merchants in the vale below, A chattering throng of anxious, greedy lives. Jostling each other, as for gain each strives. The scene now shifts, a prospering mart appears. Whence merchant-tents have vanished with the years. THE REVEILLE. Sow walls, now roofs, aspiring turrets rise, Pointing their summits upwards to the skies ; There in a forum sits a listening crowd. While one expounds the law in accents loud. I see th years glide by, and, as they go, Full many gifts on Florence they bestow ; This gives an artist, this a poet grave. This gives a worthy ruler, this a knave ; One peace and quiet while the next is rite With civil discord and devouring strife. As Florence spreads her petals to the air And comes to flower, at flowering is more fair Than when a bud with sepals wrapped about. Her beauty first began to venture out. Her couch a bed of (lowers, her own fair face Excelleth all in modesty and grace. Thus, as events pass on in steady flow. The face of Clio soon begins to glow W ith thoughts of heroes, rising thick and fast. From the dark portals of the hidden past, And pointing here and there, she aids my sight. To catch the shadows ere they take their flight. Beneath yon tree where Arno flows along, O’ Beatrice listens to her poet's song; See how intent she seems that she may hear, And how her soul seems moved by love and fear, As in her dream she passes down below. To view the realms of darkness and of woe. Then close pursuing on this quiet scene, Comes civil discord, fierce and hot between fhe Guelphs and Ghibellines; engorged with blood. THE RUVEILLE. 97 The Arno changes to a crimson flood. Then from the scene of carnage Cosmo springs. From whom the house of great Florentian kings. Then comes a line of artists and their arts ; Each gives a stroke to beauty and departs: 1 sec Ghiberti and his gates arise. Worthy to be the gates of Paradise.” Then Brunelleschi's mighty dome appears And the bell tower’s mighty head uprears. Next comes Savonarola. Seething throngs Of anxious listeners, angered by the wrongs That Rome has covered with religion's cloak. Gather about him ; then ascends the smoke Of fiery furnace, that shall test Whether the Pope hath followed God’s behest. And as this fire subsides unsatisfied, Another glow, and now the deified Prophet, in writhing agony expires. And purified amid the martyr's fires. Ascends triumphant on the wings of hope. Beyond the reach of tyrants and of Pope. As in our dreams mischievous fairies come. Filling our senses with vague stifled hum. And flit away so light when we arise. Wc merely feci a tickling in our eyes; So fled the scenes of Florence, and the night. Began to drop her curtain o’er my sight. Now dimmer grow the outlines of each tower. As all the bells toll out the vesper hour, The golden river loses of its glow. And, stealing onward in its silent flow, Beneath her arching bridges gently creeps ; The mists descend and lovely Florence sleeps. G. W. W.f '85.
