J Q3 vb' N presenting this issue, the sixth volume, of TI'IE CIARLA to the reading public, little needs to be said by way of an apology. Since this is an additional volume of a series already begun, there are certain conventionalities in some kinds of matter and its arrangement, which We have seen it fit, at least in a general way, to follow 5 but in the main we have aimed at striking originality, at least as much so as circumstances permitted without breaking what we may call well-established and acknowledged precedent, and such as preserves at least the general uniformity of the series, It has been our aim to present college life not in an ideal way, such as would tickle one's poetic fancies and call up in the reader's mind a veritable Utopia fanned by a pure and unadulterated classic atmosphere, but to give a true version thereof, developed from fact and suggestion, as it has really passed before us. We trust that all-the meditative as Well as the light-l1ea1'ted- may within this volume find food to satisfy their own peculiar tastes, and may from its pages receive the highest mental edinca- tion, for We have striven to furnish a board with the greatest possible variety of dainties and delicacies, as well as a variety of more substantial dishes, so as to meet the desires of all. We have tried to tread lightly so as to leave no stain, and to use the matter and suggestions at our command with a kindly spirit,-such as should reign among students at all times, Witli due acknowledgement and gratitude to all who have assisted us in any way, we now, in the name of the Class of '98, offer this- book to an intelligent and candid public. 7 PRELUDE. as Q2 as E tell you deeds of men of worth, Of 111611 of high and noble birth, Of such as human fortunes crown And leave earth's f ate without a frown. XVe tell you deeds and acts sublime, That cause the bells of joy to chime And bri11g a note to every heart That it should ne'er from joy depart. lVe tell you deeds not only high, Or such as lift o11e to the sky, As lead to joy-perchance to fright,- XVe tell you some of middle height. ,Too, for tl1e students as a whole, 'We wave our Hag with joy of soul g W'e tell the story full and true Of captains all and entire crew. The substance all is gathered wide, From cloud-capped 1'IlOLl1llI to roaring tide From Monroe's mountains, jersey's strand From Brooklyn, Berks, Northumberland. And 11ow its mission is to you To show the deeds that man may do, How women, too, with men may rise Unfurling banners to tl1e skies g How low to higher walks may come And join in lines with higher some g How sick and feeble may get strong 'And help the Cl1'G2l1l1 of life along. From what is past we judge tl1e Held That's not yet to our eyes revealed : And tl1l.lS we judge man's future state From what's disclosed by bygones' fate. 8 COLORS: CARDINAL AND GRAY.

And when even was come, we did Uird . I, zz ' N x' our loins and betake fx ,W ourselves onward. 'Y ,, 2. And behold, as I ...XX -1 5 gazed into heaven, I V q Yi XL, ' F gf did see four stars of A ',5Pd5gic- 9 dazzling brightness: .737 XNQV' the hrst, like unto the ii'-3' 90 51,9 moon in grandeur, the "TNQ Qsvffl' second, still fairer, ME 9.959 W , and the last two did fi, '- shine even as doth the sun. , f f"2 Q ff 3. And I turned to AM. F m y conipanion and ,xi 1. ' ,ilef 'lf '4- said, Prithee, cast thine eyes above and tell me of these wonders,-whence they caine and what is the meaning thereof. 4. And he answered and said, lVist ye not of their import? Thine ignor- ance is passing strange. Hast thou never heard of that band of heroes, mighty in deed and fame? Give ear, and I will tell thee things, the like of which thou hast ne'er before even dreamt. . 5. Four years ere now, there as- sembled within the classic halls of Muhlenberg ta place whereof thou surely niust have heardj a company of men from divers places. 6. Straightway did these youths convene and organize themselves into a mighty band, the fame of which can never die. 7. CLASS OF '97 was the name which they did adopt, and scarcely had they done this ere the ever-lurk- ing foe was on their heels. 8. The Sophomores, a rival band, did gaze upon these heroes with the eye of envy and vengeance, and, ere they were aware, the Freshmen tfor so were the heroes also calledj were im- prisoned in the room wherein they met. 9. But alack ! alas, for the workers of envy ! The doors were quickly forced aj ar, and a grievous fight ensued, in which the Sophs were vanquished. Io. The Sophomores wept. II. This was the beginning of niir- acles which were done at Muhlenberg. Nor did the Freshmen cease here, but continued in well-doing, all of which I cannot tell thee, for it waxeth late. 12. At the close of that eventful year, they did bring about their great- est achieveinent. A play, such as ne'er before or since was seen upon the stage, did they present, and the fanie of it did spread throughout the land. CHAPTER II. I. And he continued and said, The next year brought these heroes back again, renewed in mind and body. 2. And lo, another class had come to follow in their path. 3. This set of "green goods " did gaze upon the Sophs Cfor so the heroes now were calledj with uncertain eye. After deliberation of marvelous length, they did produce a cane and lustily cried out for a rush. 4. They rushed. Moreover, it snowed the day following, and the Sophomores did revel right justly in their victory. 5. Next did a voluntary it of for- getfulness seize these heroes, inasmuch as they did 11Ot turn up for class one bright morning. 6. Verily, the professor's black bile did overflow. 7. On a banquet they next did venture, to the hamlet Lansdale by name, Hllfl they did, of a truth, make them a name at that place. S. And it came to pass that the Freshies had a sleigh-ride, also that the Sophomores discovered ity and, VVl1C11 they did return, they wailed and gnashed their teeth. 9. Again was there weeping when the Freshies attempted to create havoc while the Sophs were burning Livy in eiiigy. Io. Also did the Freshies bemoan their fate when the Sophs cut down the sign with which they had defaced the campus. I r. These and many other things did the heroes bring to pass i11 their second year, of which I was an eye witness. CHAPTER HI. I. And he furthermore continued, The third year did these heroes put away childish things, and lo, they saw even as they were seen. 2. To their sorrow they did lose a few men, but, as joy ever follows sorrow, a new man joined their ranks. This man hailed from Kutztown. 3. Great was the work which he accomplished, for he organized a quar- tette, which later became the nucleus of that world-renowned Glee Club. 4. This Club has revolutionized the world of song. 5. But the crowning point of their achievements was still to come. A number of these heroes did assemble themselves and began operations on a book. 6. Long did they work, powerfully did they scheme, and verily, their reward was well meritedg for, a few days before the joyous Easter-tide, the world of literature was raised to a standard well worthy of envy: 7. So great was the book which they brought forth. S. This book was the 797 CIARLA. 9. Ere the close of this eventful year did they again immortalize them- selves. io. A contest, in which oratory held the sway, did they produce. The air changed to a bluish hue. Demos- thenes did tur11 in his grave, and, truly, the sun did smile. CHAPTER IV. I. Again he continued and spake thus, For the fourth and last time did the heroes assemble as a class, and behold, a great change had come upon them. 2. Two men, both great in fame and name, had joined their ranks. 3. The first, indeed, was a professor of the Anglo-Saxon type, imported under higl1 tariff. He was, in truth, mairlzless. 4. The second had recently become wearied of single life, a11d so he be- came doubled. Moreover, tl1e double men of ,Q7 now numbered two. 5. Such, then, were the new men of the class. 6. This class, which had now reached the zenith of perfection, did bethink themselves, and decided that it behooved them more so to attend to the wants of the intellect than to spend their energy in outward display. 7. Straightway, therefore, did they do as seemed good to them. S. And, while no public demonstra- tion can be made of them, yet know ye well that they are working sore hard unto their own honor and glory till their course be run at Muhlenberg. 9. And as he paused, I perceived that he had finished, so I turned to him and said, Of a truth, thy tale is pleasing enough, but thou hast not as yet explained to me the meaning of yonder stars. Io. And he gazed at me with a look of disgust and said, Oh thou of small understanding! I had truly thought that their meaning should have oc- curred to you. Ir. Yonder stars represent the deeds of these heroes, which had been of so wonderful a nature that they were placed in the heavens by some myster- ious power, which no one, nay, not even scientists, can explain. 12. And together we proceeded onward in silence, and lo, as I pon- dered over what was said, I marveled greatly at these things which were come to pass. 32221212 .Phiif Class of '98, JUNIORS.

For the third time, now, a history of our doings as a class is to be recorded. VVe need not review the past years of our student life, suffice it to say that, although we were green and inexperienced as Freshmen, and somewhat foolish and allwise as Sophomores, yet, our hopes alternating with our fears, our fondest wishes and desires brought to naught, never- theless courage still survives. Now as Juniors we make our bow, feeling that we have 1nucl1 to learn and still more to experience before we lay aside the academic cap and gown. Never before have such a sober, studious, and industrious class of young men trodden the capacious grounds of Muhlenberg, or lounged under the shady maples in leisure hours. At the end of our career as Sophomores we parted with regret, yet hoping that we should all meet again after vacation would be over, and, even at our banquet during Commencement Vifeek, our poet with poetical inspiration sang of our life and duties as Juniors. But alas! when we returned in September, our cheeks glowing with health, reinvigorated by tl1e gentle breezes of the mountains and fields, strengthened for another year's contest, a few of our classmates returned not unto us but sought other Alma flfafevfs. Pondering on our motto, "Re.vj1z'rc ad Fz'ncm," we obtained some comfort and forgot our sorrow in the allurements of our studies, oblivious of Freshmanic and Sophomoric intrigues and Seuioric effusions. 29 Although others persisted in telling us that our Junior course is hard and difficult, yet our benevolent and worthy professors have so enlightened our minds that everything seems to us mere play. The poetry of Homer has imbued our minds with poetical thoughts, and more than one member of the class has been in- spired by the Muses. Then, tco, talking in Latin is nothing uncommon where 'Ninety-eight's men meet. Chemistry has a peculiar charm for us in that, by analyzing, and by synthesizing the elements, we can comprehend the mysteries of nature. The ontological and teleological evidences in nature lead us to the com- prehension of a11 intelligent Designer and Ruler of the universe. Thus the workings of the soul, its nature and reality, all have been thoroughly discussed. In Schiller we studied the character of the Swiss, and viewed the scenery with delight, we were depressed at the success of the tyrant, but rejoiced at the final triumph of the patriot. In oratory we have shown our powers, and we look forward to the time when the Demosthenes of 'Ninety- eight will sway senates and its Ciceros the political world. 'Ninety-eight is leading a reform in college life. Believing that a college education should round out the man intellectually and morally, as well as physically, they have sought to cultivate the former powers rather than the last. A person who has mere brute strength and glories in it, rather than in knowledge, is no fit representative of college training. Thus it was that ,Ninety- eight, instead of molesting 'Ninety-nine when they presented their Herodotus play, set an example to all future Sophomore classes in occupying the boxes and rendering substantial as well as moral aid. We had hardly settled down to the daily routine of study when we were grieved to learn of the sickness of Dr. Garber. His death, a few days later, brought sorrow to our hearts, and, out of respect to the departed, we attended the funeral in a body, and a committee was appointed to draw up, in conjunction with com- mittees from the other classes, resolutions in memory of the 30 deceased. 'We missed his kindly face in the recitation-room. 'We felt the loss not only of a professor, but of a friend. Emulating his example, we continued at our tasks. The Thanksgiving recess allowed us to enjoy our turkey dinner at home. A few weeks later the joyous Christmas-tide ,found us under the paternal roof, rejoicing over the birth of Christ. Many and varied were the festive occasions we attended g not a few of our members told the wondrous story to large audiences and were listened to with appreciative interest. january brought us back again to our studies, and thus, after every vacation, we have returned with new hopes, our courage revived with an eye to the end. Though life's pathway has not been strewn profusely with roses hitherto, we have not yet ex- perienced any sorrow or woe which was not mingled with joy or pleasure, nay, indeed, sweet must have its bitter, and pleasure its pain. Always in the darkest hour a faint light glimmers in the distance. All the barriers that we remove between us and the light are simply to give us power to overcome the succeeding ones, and nnally to enjoy the end which we have sought to gain, gr A PROPHECY. at J 2' 9 INETY-EIGHT in its past can most truly rejoice, And in this its great 7Z07U should be heard every voice. As a class they've ascended the third hill of time, And are seeing beyond this a fourth more sublime. And still farther the distance but faintly reveals In succession the summits which mist half conceals. XVitl1 a glance at the past that is chronicled now On the tablets of time, to the future let's bow. Let the Muse now descend and his scribe lead along That the truth he may see and record it in song. Do thou through the cold mists of the future to be, Gentle Muse, lead our sight where this class we may see ! Now we see that the fourth hill is lofty and grand, And beyond it we faintly see untrodden land. O stay now, kind Muse, till our vision is clear,- Till this class we may see with the eye of a seer 1 Do thou scatter the mists that successively rise, Enveloping all till it blends with the skies ! Draw the folds of the curtain of myst'ry aside That the spirit may see all before far and wide. The curtain is drawn, and the mists all have fiown, And the future before them we see as our own : Some have risen as statesmen, as authors have some, Into office of we-ight many others have come g Some are preachers, some lawyers, some tradesmen of weight And some others have other vocations by fate 3 But the class, as a whole, as on pinions of fame, Has moved upward and made it eternal a name. And thus, like the stars, they are centres of light, And are lifting the world from the darkness of night. 32 " f. , A , , R ..., .I J 1 ' P ..'V A A . V fs 5 W fha W NN I x Q m W?"

HAUSBIAN, JR. .25 M Q! HE history of a class at college may be divided into epochs containing the 'Q ,L-1.,, 11 events which occur in the Freshman, , wb W? Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years: The f hrst epoch includes within its lnmts the - , 1 great Freshman playg the second, the QQGI? 7 ,A Sophomore banquent 5 the nthird, the Junior Q G HOT Q5 hop 5 and the last, the Senior reception. 47. K swf! Although Sun in its youth, the Class of LF' ,QQ has experienced two of these social l GEEYl'LLPALtAl.WE I events. On June 16, last, we made our DEM 'img tinal bow to the public as Freshmen in the . . s ' Herodotus play. About two weeks before 0 A the production was to take place, we posted bills all over the city of Allentown, and in its suburbs, Catasauqua and Bethlehem. Those who have never helped in the getting up of a college play cannot conceive of the work and anxiety connected with it. I know of nothing so troublesome, except, perhaps Cjudging from the grumbling of the Juniorsj, the publication of a CIARLA. XVhe11 at last, on the evening of the sixteenth, we had mustered enough courage to ring " Curtain up," we were greeted with hearty applause from the audience, which helped to steady our qualzing limbs. Some very amusing specimens of stage-fright were seen from the Wings ofthe stage. One gentleman was to .36 kiss a girl on the lips, but during the excitement he kissed her on the ear 5 another was to discharge his pistol accidentally, instead he pulled on the trigger as though he had hold of the rope in a tug-of-war 3 and still another, who was to lead one of the ponies across the stage, took hold of the pony's tail, thinking he had him by the bridle. NVhen the curtain fell we all heaved a sigh of relief, and especially did we feel elated on reading the favorable criticisms in the daily papers on the following day. Our play was a nnancial success, and we wish here to express our sincere thanks to the ladies who were patronesses of the same for their kind aid. Gn September 3, 1896, we again assembled in the college chapel, not as Freshmen, but as full-fledged Sophomores. A few days later we made up our roll, the President having called a meeting of the class, and six new members were added to the already large list, all of them jolly good fellows. According to general custom, the Sophomore is the most unruly and noisy of all students by virtue of his positiong and yet I am sure that the Class of ,QQ is not as Sophomoric in that respect as its prede- cessors were. YVe are oftentimes called to account for whistling in the halls Ca grave offensej, for which we can give no excuse except in the words of Alice Cary : " So don't you be afraid, boys, In spite of bar or ban, To Whistle,-it will help you each To be an honest rnanf' The second great social event of our college .life occurred on the 22d of January of this year, when we went to Reading to enjoy a banquet at the Mansion House of that city. NVe all had a delightful time, and returned on the following day to find that the insignificant Freshmen had torn up our rooms. This was unexpected to us, as there is only a handful of Freshmen, but we took it good-naturedly, thinking it beneath our dignity to quarrel with them. 37 The Class of ,QQ is at present the largest class in the college, and, although we are only in the Sophomore year, we hope that in our Senior year there will still be together the thirty-six men who are now Sophoinores. Many of our members have decided what Walk in life they intend to follow, and I ain sure that in business and in the different professions the Class of ,QQ will have representatives of whom old Muhlenberg can justly be proud.

X qqn O' N the morning of the 4th of September, 1 , XX in the year of our Lord eighteen hun- G' N M td' X1 dred and ninet 1-seven the face of A Uiliw cr- 3 ' . X A 'IJ X Fafher llfzzhlezzbezjg beamed brightly upon lx N U L 'g all the friends whom he ha ened to meet in L My PP Q WK A X A his morning walk. It was that peculiar smile f . . N t . . Z., K I E 309 H -a happy, contented expression-which ' ss Y . . A Iggy' 5 Muff' 1 N t has come to be a conventionahty among 'iii 1 35 men, for " There's a new boy at our house. " iiifif VVell might the honest old fellow wear f- ' that smile on that particular day, for the day before had seen the advent of a bright, handsome, nineteen-pound baby. Nineteen pounds is not quite the Muhlenberg standard, and so there was joy again when, after a few days, the scales showed a good pound more. The " new baby" was hailed with delight by its three older brothers, who were wishing for someone to amuse them. It is of the subse- quent life of this fresh sprout from the parent root that I am to write as a not wholly disinterested person. According to the good old custom, the baby was named, and this is its name: Nyfzfearz Ho7zdfz'd Muhlerzberg. Now, all the sons of Muhlenberg had shortened names, and, when its name was to be shortened, there came a tug-of-war. W'hat might it be called? Nz'!s was suggested, but it was ruled down as slang. Then Nazfghgf-Nazzghls was tried, but it was as long as the original, 41 and, since the boy was not at all badly inclined, that was discarded also. So to this one son of a large and illustrious family belongs the distinction of being the only one possessing a practically " unnicknamable " name, and having a character not meriting a nickname. A more peaceful infant can hardly be imagined. No long hours of the night did Faihcvf Mzahlefzberg spend walking the floor with this son to quell temper and general rebelliousness. In fact, this for Njfzzfeafz Hozzdrzkz' has been a notable exception to the general infant in infantile unruliness and misadventure. Its nurses, 'tis true, can say that some of its brothers were brighter mentally, but it is very questionable whether they can name a brother more docile. That is a point in its favor. Now, AQfnz'ea7z H07zdrz'd does not furnish as much fun and frolic as his brothers thought he would. His is a sedate nature, not given to boisterous play and romping. Indeed, so gentle and loving is his disposition that he has yet to provoke a quarrel in the nursery. Only once did his angry passions rise to any height 5 that was when Nz'm'z'nez'n Went off to tea without letting him know. Even then he contented himself at first in going to his brother's corner of the nursery and mussing the bed and hiding his toys. But at this point his anger overcame hiin sulfi- ciently to lead him to steal a certain little clownls cap, which his brother used when he played circus. Nz'1z!z'zzcz'1z retaliated by stealing the infant son's best cloak and cap, but soon mutual need of the stolen articles necessitated a peaceful exchange. Such judgment and forethought on the part of one so young is certainly commendable. Then Mfzzfeazz H0:zdrz'd played a little trick to fool his naughty brother, Taking a few coverlets, he crawled into his crib and quietly went to sleep, While nurses and brothers hunted but found him not. Then Nz'1z!z'1zei1z,thinking that his brother had gone out with his sled, made ready to despoil his clothes and fondly cherished toys. At this exciting moment, the fire-bell Woke the sleeping rogue, who promptly and innocently rolled forth 42 to see " What is the matter? " So taken aback was Nz'niinei1z by this little pleasantry that he hung his head in shame and never afterward referred to the joke. For the 1'GSt, lY1'1ll'c'6H2 HU7ld7'Iid has refrained from joining in the rougher games like foot-ball, tugs-of-War, and the rougl1-and- tumble fights, with which his older brothers were wont to amuse themselves, and he has easily contented himself with more gentle exercises and play. Should .this docile disposition continue with him through life, he will surely become a shining example of the " Children of the Golden Age." 1' Silence is the zfirlzze Qffh0S6' who are 7101! wise." 43 Academic Department. f Q95 QV Q29 HE Academic Department of Muhlenberg College is in ,charge of efficient and experienced instructors. The principal is Prof. F. G. Lewis, A.M. The other professor is Prof. J. R. Merkel, B.S., A.M. VVhile this department is connected with the college, its man- agement is entirely in the hands of its instructors. It is the aim of this department to prepare students for college, for teaching, for business, as well as to give them the practical education and culture necessary for the various other pursuits of life. Its students are admitted into the Freshman Class upon the recommendation of the principal, without further examination.

COMPILED BY BERNARIJ Rllzxzxss. 45 AH! THE BUD AT LAST IS OPENING R3 V93 E29 OON the sun will Cancer enter, Half of Jnne's already O,61'Q Soon will students leave the college, And be welcomed home once more. Such a week of joy and sunshine, lVhen " exams " are safely passed,- lVhen the students' friends are coming, Thinking them allwise at last ! All the city seems in motion, Students marching up and down g And as if to draw attention, Some are wearing cap and gown. Some ere long will meet their sweethearts, Others them must leave behind g Unto those the world's one paean, Unto these there's grief of mind. Freshmen seek to doom old Livy, Sophs would steal or spoil their play 3 Juniors give their flighty speeches, Seniors grace Commencement Day. Ah ! the bud at last is op'ning, Op'ning to a world of strife, Struggling witl1 a world of action To advance to nobler life. May it grow and spread its petals And its fragrance well diffuse 3 May the class that leaves the college Rise from high to higer use. Thus by them the world is entered, College days at last are o'er, Yet they have no more than tasted Of the fount of treasured lore. 46 Baccalaureate Sermon, Bv PRESIDENT T. L. 512111, D.D., IN ST.

Lag not behind but strive to lead on," The members of Euterpea need no such exhortation. Ever since its inception in 1867, the society has advanced. Her interests have been guarded with jealous care. Ever increasing, always improving, the golden opportunity has always promptly been seized. To-day she proudly stands, stronger in number, and superior in literary and oratorical ability. The former needs no COll111l61l'E. The latter has been shown in the various oratorical contests and on Commencement days. The successful contestants the past year were Euterpeans. In ,securing new members, Euterpea has ever been watchful. Prizing quality rather than numbers, so that her superiority might not be lost by careless disciples, she has sought those in whom the ability was latent rather than those who boasted of literary attainments, and thus she has gained both. The exercises of the society, consisting of music, debates, essays, orations, and the like, are so interesting that a vacant chair is seldom seen. The orators do not harangue and inilame to actions, which, on sober second thought, are repented of, but, in a calm, well- pleasing style, arouse the proper motive in the heart of the hearer. The collection of minerals and relics in the cabinet has lately been greatly increased. Conspicuous in the cabinet are Greek newspapers and a pair of sandals and War relics. A number of books have been added to the library. The pedagogical, scientific, and historical, departments have been enlarged. While fiction is not rejected, works of lasting interest 73 and permanent benefit have been given the preference. The assembly room has been renovated, and other improvements have been made. To her color, the members have always been true. True to the motto which gives them a motive, true to her interests whenever assailed, they have conquered and won fair laurels. O well-pleasing Euterpe, on thee now we call, May Euterpea advance till the last trump shall blow The blast which will summon to rise or to fall, When judgment is passed on our life here below ! 74 33355 fm -9.1, 2" , -'iw . .

Luther A. Swope was elected first president. The society adopted as its motto: " The end crowns the work." The society met for the first time in its present hall in the latter part of 1869. It was well furnished, and we are glad to be able to say that the hall is at present an honor to the institution as well as to Sophronia. A library was soon started, and the number of books has been steadily, and we may also say rapidly, increasing until the present time, when the number is about twenty-two hundred and fifty. These books form a grand thesaurus of useful information. The meetings are held every Wednesday afternoon, beginning at 1.30 o'clock. At these meetings, essays are read and criticized, orations are delivered, the leading topics of the day are discussed in the regular debates, and impromptu speeches are made. If space would permit, it would be proper to make mention of at least some of the ex-members of Sophronia, but even this, space will barely allow. However, we can assure the reader of this history that Sophronia is well represented in all the profes- sions. Space will permit us to give but a few examples. In theology, we mention Rev. Revere F. Vtfeidner, D.D., LL.D., and Rev. George H. Gerberding, D.D. In law, we mention the Hon. I-I. G. F. Kribbs, M.C., and the Hon. M. L. Kline. In 77 the profession of teaching, in the pulpit, in medicine, in the literary field, and, in short, in all the principal vocations, Sophronia always has held its own, does hold its own, and always will. The history of Sophronia could be written in two words: 'lAction ! Progress !" Recognizing that golden conduct cannot be gotten from leaden instincts, Sophronia has endeavored, and still endeavors, to get the best students, and does not aiin at inere nzmzbers.

Q9 L3 Q93 HE Augsburg Society is truly a blessing to all the students of Muhlenberg College, and especially to those who are pre- paring to enter the sacred ministry to preach " Christ and Him crucinedf' It is hardly necessary to point out the benefits of this society to the students, as the great majority of them are taking advantage of the privilege and know the benefits resulting therefrom. But for the information of those friends of the college who are ignorant of the object of this society, a few words may well be written. The society was organized in 1892. The meetings are held every Friday evening, beginning at 6.30, from November to May. Dr. W'ackernagel, the friend of the students, gives a series of lectures on religious topics. After the lecturer is finished, the students ask questions on the lecture, and a regular discussion takes place. 'When anything of importance occurs in the religious world, it will be discussed at the next meeting. Thus our students are kept abreast in religious matters, a fact which we feel that the students from many colleges cannot say. Last year the Augsburg Confession was the subject of the lectures and discussions, and interesting and instructive they were. This year " Rites, Doctrines, and Statistics of the Different Religious Denominations" is the topic. The students, truly, owe many thanks to the dear Doctor who does not deem it humiliating to spend an hour every week with his students when he knows he can benefit them. 34 Our hope is, that the students will show theirfappreciation of the Doctor's kindness by attending these meetings as often as possible. Great good has been the outcome of this society, and much greater good may still be expected. May this society be the means of arousing in the souls of all cur students greater love towards God and man, and greater zeal to accomplish their future work, namely, the upbuilding of Zion! 35 MEIN! 3:-P .Im ff-A I .

S7 Missionary Society. 355 HE Muhlenberg College Missionary Society was organized on April 19, 1888. The object of the society, brieiiy stated, is to foster the missionary spirit among tl1e students, and to arouse in them a generous giving for the support of missions. The society holds monthly meetings, at which subjects relating to mission work are discussed. The mission news are read, and thus the success or failure of missionaries struggling in India and other foreign lands is traced. Collections are lifted at every meetingg these with the offerings received at the concerts, which are held two or three times a year, are applied to the furtherance of the mission cause. Practical mission work is also engaged in by its members. ' The society was represented at the Central Luther League held at Bethlehem, February 16, 1897, by five delegates. A love for mission work is thus being aroused, and it may be the means of sending more missionaries unto benighted peoples. An earnest desire to get aid for missions is also infused into the breasts of the members. May the good work go on I God's blessing will not fail. SS NX r S gf' -".- 7. ,,.O.2:S: , .-1.611 tr...

DAVIS GARBER, whose name is held in highest venera- tion by his co-workers in the Faculty and by the alumni and friends of Muhlenberg College, and who so creditably filled the chair of Mathematics and Astronomy at the same place, was born near Trappe, Montgomery Co., Pa., February 1o, 1839. His parents, Samuel and Susan Garber, who are botl1 deceased, were typical Pennsylvania Germans. His boyhood he spent on his father's farm, and during the sl1ort public school terms of that time he received Whatever training the schools of his native county could afford him 3 and thus by faithful application he pre- pared himself for the public schoolroom and taught for some years. Yearning for a higher education, he next entered Wash- ington Hall Collegiate Institute, Trappe, Pa., and prepared for college. In 1861 he entered the Sophomore Class of Pennsyl- vania College, Gettysburg, Pa., with an advanced standing, and graduated in 1363 with higl1 honor. In September of the same year he was elected as one of the instructors in Washington Hall Collegiate Institute, and hlled that position very acceptably until the end of 1869, when he received a call to the professorship of Mathematics, Astronomy, Physics, and Geology in Muhlenberg College. On assuming his duties in 1870, when the institution was still young in years, he found himself face to face with multitudinous labors and formidable odds in the difficult task of helping to build up the college then still in its infancy, but, by indefatigable exertions and singular fidelity, he and his co-workers succeeded in successfully building up the novv prosperous institution. ISO On December 26, 1878, Professor Garber was married to Miss Kate Grim, who still survives. He died childless. In 1891 Ursinus College honored herself in honoring him by conferring upon him the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Doctor Garber was a consistent Christian and a devoted member of the Lutheran Church, and for twenty-three years he was superintendent of the First W'ard Lutheran Mission Sunday- School, having had associated with himself in the work as teachers many of the students of the college. As a scholar he was a well-rounded man, frequently teaching in departments other than that of his distinctive chair. As an educator he was favorably recognized by the people of his native city in electing and retaining him for years as a member of the School Board and later as a member of the Board of Control. As a citizen he commanded the profoundest respect of all his fellow- men. As a friend he was truly great-souled, his soul always overflowing with the milk of human kindness. His love for humanity, which was manifest to all, especially in his charity to the poor, was one of the chief characteristics that distinguished Doctor Garber. This is a quality which is above mere intellectual brilliancy and learning, for it is, like God who is the great foun- tain of all love, eternal 3 and this it is which lives longest in the hearts of men-long after one's bones have mouldered in the dust. It is, in short, the fountain of all that is good and the greatest motive power in the whole empire of God. His biography is better written upon the hearts of Muhlen- berg's alumni and his many friends than mere words can tell. Much might be written of so scholarly, good, and useful a man, but we shall not tire our reader much longer. Although years of beneiicent labors seemed welcoming and beckoning him still onward, the summons was issued, the Angel of Death touched his heart, ever pulsating with love and humanity, and on Sunday, September 27, 1896, after an illness of one week, he was gathered to -his fathers, where that magnanimity has heaven and eternity before it for still more glorious exercise. l3I Short Biography of Prof. Philip Dowell. HE vacancy caused by the death of Doctor Garber, was acceptably filled by the Board of Trustees on January 12, L 1897. Professor John A. Bauman, Ph.D., who very credit- ably has filled the chair of Natural Sciences in Muhlenberg College for a number of years, and who some years ago was vice- principal and professor of Mathematics of the Keystone State Normal School, was elected to the chair of Mathematics and Astronomy. Professor George T. Ettinger, Ph.D., in addition to that of Pedagogy, was raised to the full professorship of the Latin Language and Literature. The Board of Trustees also added to the curriculum of studies a course in Biology. To this new chair of Biology, and to that of the Natural and Applied Sciences left vacant by the transfer- rence of Dr. Bauman, the Board elected Professor Philip Dowell, A.M., Ph.B., of Brooklyn, New York, who will enter upon his duties in September, 1897. From all that we can learn concerning the Professor-elect, the Board of Trustees are to be congratulated upon their wise choice. Professor Dowell, Whose portrait the reader will find on page I3 of this work among the rest of the present Faculty, was bcrn at Attica, Indiana, December 3, 1864. ' His parents came from Sweden, his mother in 1852, and his father in the latter part of the nfties. They were married in this country. His father was for years the faithful pastor of the Swedish Lutheran Church at Attica. His early boyhood was spent at the country home of an uncle at Galva, Illinois, where 152 he attended public school and Swedish parochial school. I-Ie was taught Swedish at home and had learned to recite his Catechism and Bible History from beginning to end when he was eight years old. In the fall of 1876, when he was twelve years old, he was sent to school at Augustana College and passed through the three years of the preparatory course, and the four years of the regular college course, graduating with the degree of A.B. in 1885. The summer vacation and the two extra years of this time he devoted to physical labor on his uncle's farm. After his graduation he taught Swedish parochial school for some time, a11d during 1888-89 he took a business course at the Davenport Business College, Davenport, Iowa, to develop the practical side of his nature, and at the same time took up Mathematics and the Sciences in the post-graduate course of Augustana College. For a while he was Professor Udden's assistant in the laboratory dissections in Zoology. During 1890- QI he was professor of the Sciences at Hope Academy, Minnesota. In the fall of 1891 he entered Yale University as a graduate student, studying Chemistry, Mathematics, and Philosophy. During the next year he studied Botany, Chemistry, Mineralogy and Crystallography, Philosophy, French, and Biology at the same place, mostly in the Sheffield Scientific School. In the fall of 1893 he went to the University of Nebraska, and took up Botany, French, Geology, and Physics. In the fall of 1894 he returned to Yale, and the following spring he received the degree of Ph.B. in Biology. This year he took up French, Geology, Botany, Zoology, Heredity, Organic Chemistry, Theoretical Chemistry, Physiology, Toxicology, and Physiological Chemistry. During the year 1895-96 he filled the place of Dr. Coe, who was in Europe, as assistant professor in Biology to Dr. Smith, at the same time assisting Dr. Verill in Zoology and making researches in Invertebrate Paleontology under Dr. Beecher, who speaks very highly of his work done in that direction. 133 In the spring of 1896 Yale conferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts for his meritorious work. Last summer he Worked at the famous Marine Biological Laboratory of Wood's Holl, Mass. At present he is professor of Natural Sciences at Upsala Institute, Brooklyn, New York. He comes highly recommended from these various places, both as a student and teacher and as a man of sound moral principles and as a consistent Christian, and we look hopefully forward to the coming September, when he shall be to Muhlenberg what he has been to other institutions before, and when in his person there will be added another star to Muhlenberg's already glorious constellation. I34 Stray Thoughts on Horace. BY PROF. oiazoizcii 'r. ETTINGI312, PH.D., '8o. Q9 V23 L3 ENTLE reader, have you ever read Horace? If you have not, then you have missed one of the greatest literary pleasures of life 3 for where can you find a writer so rich in the practical wisdom ot life, so full of that charm that grows upon us as the shadows of our days slowly lengthen with the sinking sun? Little wonder is there to my mind that his pro- phetic soul foresaw the fact that "a babbling old age would employ his book in teaching children the elements in the outskirts of the city." No doubt many a collegian has devoutly wished that our genial old friend had never existed. Let such a one, it perchance he read these stray thoughts, repent on the spot and be grateful for the pleasure and the benefit the world has derived from the lyrist of Venusia. For, when that same collegian has grown more rotund and aldermanic, when his hair, like the accent of the Greek verb, grows recessive, when he, now an " old boy I' of the Oliver W'endell Holmes type Qmyfavorite type ot an old boyl, begins to stay at home in the evening instead of going to the club, you can find him, his slippered feet on the fender, thumbing the familiar old copy of Horace that was either the bane or the blessing of his college days. As a marked passage meets his eyes, he recalls a bad blunder of Brown Cwho was very care- less in his interliningj in which he murdered the innocent little passage Tu 7ZZ.L?I2L77Z seffzfas Qthou keepest thy nestl by reading an 7' for the 11, thus making it read, " thou keepest the restf' But I must not forget that I am not sitting before the fender D seeing the Horatian picture in the Hitting flames, but that I am T35 to answer someoneis query, "Wl1at constitutes a classic, and what claim has our poet to that title?" To my mind, the essential element of a classic, its living principle, is that ever- present, ever-modern tone of human life and human nature that is true to all time and in all places. We have it illustrated preeminently in the case of the Bible. Its past tenses are ever present, as when the Almighty calls Himself the Great I Am, there is no past, there is no future, it is all present. So, in all reverence, is it in the case of a literary classic. Truth, whether moral or artistic, was the same two thousand years ago as it is to-day. It is the everlasting truth that constitutes the essence of a classic. Tested by this standard, what a claim for literary immortality Horace presents! For are not the rich and the avaricious, the envious and the ambitions, the aristocrat and the parvenu, the shams and the frauds of society with us as they were with Horace? And what he says to them, vzomizze mzzz'az'0, Hts our time as well. In all the range of literature, ancient or modern, I know of no writer whose works are so autobiographical as are the writings of Horace. From his writings you can, as it were, reconstruct his whole life. Thus we can fairly depict to ourselves the mind, and the heart of our author, for we learn what he hated and what he loved, what he praised and what he blamed, what he said and what he did. First and foremost Horace was a man to whom the well-known expression of Terence, "Honzo many hzmzani 1zz'hz'Z cz me alzkmwz pain," was altogether applicable. Little wonder that Augustus and Maecenas became such warm friends! Have you ever read the works of a more companionable author, one in whom the feeling of humanity was more fully developed? Whetlier at the court of August or, as he preferred, in philosophic discussion with his shrewd and sensible Sabine neighbors, we ever iind his warm human heart in the same spot. In Horace " the milk of human kindness " certainly turned into cream. In short, he was a Roman gentleman. In many of his precepts on neatness and moderation he reminds us of the good housewife whose linen 136 is always of the whitest and the china of the cleanest, no matter how much or how little there may be on the table. What a contrast between such neatness and the tawdry, unpalatable display of Nasidienus, whose impromptu shoddy aristocracy is revealed when the dirty curtains fall and " drag more dust with them than the north wind raises on the Campanian plains." Horace was a patriotic Roman, a Roman of the Romans, who by life and his writings did as much as anyone to bring order out of the social and the political chaos incident upon the disruption of the Roman Republic. I know that there is danger that some scholars wish to make men like Horace and Virgil mere political poetasters writing at the nod and beck of Augustus and his prime minister, but such critics do not seem to have read the Seventh Epistle in which our poet politely but firmly promulgates his Declaration of Independence to his patron Maecenas, from whom Horace had received a delightful little farm. Although he never tires of singing the praises of " his little Sabine nest,'l yet he is willing to resign all rather than to be subject to others. A man who could address his patron in such a vein would hardly contrast the valor, Chastity, and moderation of ancient Rome with the servility, licentiousness and luxury of his own day except from pure and patriotic motives. The pen of Horace was as mighty as the sword of Agrippa, and his " Dulce cz' decorzmz es! p1'0paz'1'z'a morzw' has been the motto of patriotism for two thousand years. Horace is preeminently the apostle of Moderation and Con- tentment. He wishes to enjoy the world and the life offered therein, but at every turn we come upon the admonition to moderationg as when he tells us how "the quarrel of the Cen- taurs with the Lapithae, fought over their Wine, Warns that no one enjoy to excess the gifts of moderate Bacchus." W'hat a stinging rebuke to the many dissatisied, half-hearted Christians of to-day is the following sentiment of the heathen Horace : " In the midst of hope and care and fears and wrath Believe each day for thee hath shone the last 5 As a pleasing gift tl1e unexpected hour arrives." 137 Again, he tells us how he is content with what he possesses, nay even with less, and, if the gods wish him to have a longer life, heis quite willing to live it 5 then, like atrue bibliophile, he utters the wish for a goodly supply of books and provisions for the coming year. He, however, leaves all to love and makes himself responsible only for maintaining a calm mind. This is the secret of happiness, the afgzms afzmzus, the calm mind. The source of happiness is within us, not dependent upon extraneous circumstances and possessions, just as the highest pleasure is not in delightful savor but in one's self. How Horace does delight to picture those poor mortals who are trying to get rid of themselves by travel and all the pleasuresof this world! But as little as they can run away from their own shadows, so little can they escape from themselves. "Vicious Care, more swift than stags and the east wind driving the clouds before it, boards the beaked ships, nor does it leave the troops of riders." " Gloomy Care mounts the steed behind the horsemanf' Again, "They who rush beyond the sea change their climate, not their soul? But, when a lover of Horace once begins to quote, the uncertainty of his ceasing to quote is the only certainty about him. Can there be any thought more modern than this: "A vigorous inactivity busies usg we seek to have a good time with yachts and double teams. Yet what you seek Qcontentment, happinessj is here at Ulubree Ca very small placej if a calm mind fail you not." judged by the standard of the times in which he lived, I believe that Horace was a moral man. W'hat a terrible picture of the morals of the times does he give in the Twenty-fourth Ode of the Third Book, in which he asks, " W'hat profit idle laws without morals?,' Again he says, "It is virtue to avoid vice." "The good hate to sin from love of virtue g thou wilt permit thyself no wrong through fear of punishment 5 let, however, a hope of escape be offered, and thou wilt mingle the sacred with the profane." Honesty for honesty's sake is the principle. Were this principle more in vogue in our day, we should not have so many defaulting 138 bank cashiers and other officers betraying public and private trusts. Honesty in the grain is needed, not honesty as a fine veneer. Polished hard-wood, not hard-wood finish, ought to be the pre- vailing style in morality, The man who does not steal through fear of detection and punishment hardly is honest. The more I read Horace, the less am I surprised that the emperor and his prime minister had such a man as their intimate friend. Vilas there ever a more disinterested friendship than that of these choice old Roman spirits? Certainly one of its leading factors Was Horace's liberality of spirit, for, as he says, "it is proper for each one to measure himself with his own rule and gauge." Thus we find our poet making no demands upon his patrons, for he was no fortune-hunter and most bitterly inveighs against them. Horace, like a true Stoic, strives to be superior to his surround- ings. "I strivef' says he, "to make circumstances subject to myself, not myself the subject of circumstances." Fortune he praises so long as she abides with him g but when her swift wings Hutter, he resigns what she has granted him, and, throwing around himself the mantle of his virtue, he seeks honest poverty without a dower. Innumerable are the quotations to be found on riches. Like a true preacher he cries out against the rich: " Why is anyone unworthily in need when thou art rich? Wherefore do the ancient temples of the gods sink in ruins? Why, thou wretch, dost thou not pour out from the great store something for the dear fatherland? " Did preacher ever discourse on more practical themes? For in his day morality largely took the place of religion. His religion, of course, was that of the Augustan Age, and yet he very plainly acknowledges the existence of a Higher Power and tells the Romans that they rule because they believe in the supremacy of the gods. He had yearnings for more serious things and a faith in Divine protection and a moral government of the world. , It would be eminently unjust to regard Horace as a hard T39 drinker and a profligate, as some have done, because of his songs. Especially is this true of those dry-as-dust critics who have tried to rob the poet of every power of imagination and have, as it were, dissected in cold blood every lyric, thus concluding that, of necessity, every Lalage, every Chloe, every Pyrrha was a true flame of the poet, who, in consequence, must have been a perfect Don Juan of the Augustan Age. If these critics had a little poetry in their own souls Cand that they ought to have, if they wish to criticize poetryj they could easily see that some, at least, are Iicticious characters, children of the poet's own brain. In these very lyrics he preaches moderation, praises poetry, advocates contentment and rest of soul, condemns luxury, and eulogizes the deeds of heroes. Although himself a bachelor, he reveres the marriage-tie and respects the honest woman of the country. As a satirist Horace ridicules the wrong and upholds the right. The foundation of his wit is a moral earnestness whose aim is improvement, not mere laughter. In all this Horace displays the sound philosophy ofa rational cultured Roman, a philosophy of life that seeks happiness within, not' from without,-a philosophy combined with a nice knowledge of men, that penetrates to the causes and the motives of action, to the seeds of vice and folly as well as to the sources of virtue and wisdom. In the Epistles we have a mirror of the poet's own life in all its thought and feeling, and in them he lays bare his Whole soul with all its virtues and all its vices. Without the poetic genius of great creative power, lacking the ideal flight of inspiration, Horace nevertheless has attained a name and a place in Latin literature second only to that of Virgil, In what does his immortality as a poet consist ? In the words of another : " I-Ie combines perfection of form with range of mental vision to a degree which no ancient poet of his country attained except Virgil." A man of fine and acute sense and deep power of observation, he knew artistically to express his experi- ences and his knowledge with a joyful quiet and with fine taste and grace. Not a servile iniitator of the Greeks, he chose his 140 own style, followed his own inclination, regarded the needs of the times, and impressed upon the products of his Muse the mark of his own mind and character in unmistakable signs. With human weaknesses he combined unusual qualities of mind and heart and raised himself by his character no less than by his talent. He bowed to monarchy without yielding his inde- pendence g he lived in the midst of luxury Without losing his love for the quiet and the simplicity of rural life. Wliat makes him dear to all is, that he was a frank and open-hearted man, a true friend, unrestrained towards superiors, gentle to inferiors. In his philosophy he combined the good of the Stoic and of the Epicurean, which, based upon his own -wisdom of the world, formed a plain, practical philosophy of common sense. In the Words of one of his translators, he " insists that life shall at least bear the fruits of integrity, truth, honor, justice, self-denial, and brotherly charity." "Of Rome or of the Roman mind," says Dean Milman, " no one can know anything who is not profoundly versed in Horace, and whoever really understands him, will have a moreperfect and accurate knowledge of the Roman manners and the Roman mind than the most diligent and laborious investi- gator of the Roman antiquities." In view of his broad human sympathies, his warm heart, his urbane nature, his vigorous common sense, his mastery of expression, his poetic sentiment, and his moral teaching, is it at all strange that Horace has been a favorite with men the most diverse in nature, culture, and pur- suits? Dante rates him second to Homer, Voltaire calls him " the best of preachers 3 " Lord Chesterfield says, " When I talked my best I quoted Horace 5 " Wordswortlu loved and ad- mired himg Condorcet readhim in prison, and Gibbon says, " On every march, in every journey, Horace was always in my pocket and often in my hands." I4I AQQLIKZJII-Ill! THEY WERE SEATED IN THE TWILIGHT :AV vb' 1.95 HEY were seated i11 the twilight, Swinging in a haniniock low 3 All around seemed still to listen Unto them respect to show, Save where chirped the pensive cricket In its hiding-place unseen, Save where flowed the rippling waters Mirror-like its banks between. Now the moon, just past its fullness, Gloriously began to rise 3 One by one the stars of heaven Opened Wide their holy eyes. 142 As the clouds of night were lowered Adding grandeur to the scene, And were mirrored in the waters Flowing those two skies between,- 1 Softly spake he to the maiden As she blushed a paler hue : lVhat a lovely eve for lovers, Lovers to each other true ! How the nioon, the stars, all nature, Seem to join in one sweet song To enhance our pleasure, dearest, Far above the tale of tongue I How the night has coarser voices Hushed in silence, save a few I How delightful in life's morning Thus to love and thus to woo ! " Thus he spake, and she in answer, 'With her tender hand in his : True, this is an eve for lovers To enjoy a place like this." Thus spake she, her fair eyes gleaming As she niused upon the scene There in perfect image mirrored On the waterls perfect screen. Then her eyes she turned to heaven, Looking 011 that sky above 3 Then she viewed that sky reflected, Then the one who called her L' Love. He in silence had been waiting For that sweet angelic look g And, as eye with eye was rneeting, Then her other hand he took g And again he broke the silence, And in tender words began : Dost thou love nie, sweetest maiden, Canst thou love another man?

And they from their rapture startled, Thinking that some one was near And had heard them speak and watched them But they found an owl their fear. All the stars had shifted places 5 Now the moon was risen high, And was smiling gently at them From his chariot in the sky. All again seemed still to listen Save the rippling water's How, And from time to time their converse Broke the silence, as you know. Thus for three sweet hours they sat there, Thinking each the other dear, YV hen a cricket neared and murmured : U Do your mothers know you're here? " Then they homeward quickly started, He proposing her to wed g And the lights they found extinguished, For the folks had gone to bed. T44 The Coming Profession. 195 5 J' HE dawning of the nineteenth century found upon the stage of human action what has appropriately been called the educational reformation. This scene was being enacted by the world's master minds. Although the revolutions in thought have been great, it is only to-day that the magnitude and the magic development of this movement are beginning to be fully realized. The sunrise of this century lifted from the world the mantle of darkness that had hung over it through the ages, and sent its rays along the slope of Time. The fruits of the many conflicts of the past have all been gathered into the garners of the present. Although great have been the achievements in educa- tion during this passing century, we are yet in a state of rapid transition. The past has, indeed, greatly widened the field of knowledge and improved the methods of imparting it, but greater improvements will yet be made in both matter and method. In bygone ages, education belonged only to the nobility and to the wealthy, who exercised a tyrannical and exclusive control over the millions who lay wrapt in ignorance and superstition, But this age has made learning, once the instrument of this bondage, the instrument of universal civilization and reform. Education is being recognized more and more as the silent power that advances the material interests of man, that enlightens the present and future with the doctrines and thoughts of former ages, and that thus advances the march of civilization. Momentous as the results of true education are, we are sur- prised that so many will not yet recognize it. Teachers are still often despised, and teaching is regarded as of only temporary interest, The past found largely such persons teaching as had 145 failed in some other profession or trade. It was the consensus of opinion that anybody could teach, even Without special prepara- tion. Teaching has not yet fully been regarded as a profession, but the time is rapidly approaching when it will take its place by the side of medicine, theology, and law. It already has the requisite marks of a profession. Its operations are truly scientinc 5 previous preparation and special training are regarded as neces- sary requirementsg and a spirit of fellowship, unity, and self-denial pervades the army of teachers and binds them into one great brotherhood. These marks would not yet make teaching a pro- fession, but the noble aim, the crowning glory of every profession, makes teaching worthy of being called " The Fourth Profession. " Thus it is clear that teaching should be recognized as occupying a place by the side of medicine, theology, and law. Are We ready to accept this truth? Or shall We forever close our eyes against that light which is to illuminate the destiny of our race? Shall we forever refuse to take hold of possibilities by which we may usher upon the stage of action a state of higher human perfection ? It has been Well said, " This world is what we make it." Truly, by the diffusion of knowledge, by a proper action of mind upon mind, earth may be converted into a heaven. It is to universal education that we owe gratitude for the progress in this enlight- ened age, for the recognition of the equality of all men,-thc central idea of the Declaration of Independence,-and for the advanced republican doctrines of modern government. In former centuries it was a pet object of rulers to consign the education and civilization of man to chance, thus to keep him ignorant of the imperfections of government, so that he might more easily be ruled and enslaved by the ruler. Sir Wm. Berkeley of Virginia, when in the zenith of his glory, said, " I thank God there are no free schools nor printing, and I hope We shall not have these for a hundred years 3 for learning has brought disobedience and heresy and sects into the World, and printing has divulged them and libels against the best government. God keep us from both." That great enemy of popular education, 146 immortal for conjoined bigotry and cruelty, could not well have wished a greater misfortune, a greater curse, to rest upon the progress of man. We may in vain scan the poetry of history, and never again find a measure so faulty, a foot so twisted, a statement so erroneous as his. If we were forever to be deprived of schools and education, mankind would be reverted into a state of ignorance and superstition, of heathendom and bondage, like unto that which reigned in the dark ages. Yea, I should not doubt but that man would fall lower in the scale of being than in all the historic ages. The past would but be a penumbra of that deeper and darker eclipse which would totally obscure the great gulf of hope that links man to God. May we not fancy that those who fell as martyrs in the cause of education, would, in sorrow, push aside the curtains of paradise to behold such a scene ! May the Great Ruler of events avert such a fate from fallen humanity ! But if we descend one step in the stairway of memory we shall recall that Berkeley and the other great enemies of education in the past are dead, and that their cursing wishes and efforts are blasted, while the enemies of this age are but insignih- cant spiders in vain trying to bind a giant with their fragile webs. This age profits by their faults. A new era has been ushered in by the work of education, and the great book of nature with pages of blessing is open to man, He now looks through nature up to the nature's God. The geologist strikes the rock with his hammer and it tells its history. The philosopher analyzes the spectrum, and tells the composition and distance of suns and stars. The telescope reveals distant worlds, and makes them tell their miles and marches. Archimedes of old said, 1' Give 1ne a place to stand, and with my lever I will move the world." The modern mathematician says, " Give me the laws of gravitation as the fulcrum, mathematics as the lever, and my study as a place to sit, then I will move the very heavens, and create in them tongues to tell their mysteries." In this golden age, steam conveys our luggage, the press immor- T47 talizes the thoughts of men to be handed down to succeeding ages, and hisgmessages are carried by electricity over wires of intelligence that link the whole civilized world into one great unity. What I all this the result of the diffusion of knowledge? Yes, truly, teaching is the mother of all science, art, and progress. May you be instrumental in effecting such wonders I Verily, the teacher of simple childhood often sows the seeds for harvests glorious. It is he who cultivates the newlands of mind 3 it is he who has under his charge the future Ciceros, Newtons, Miltons, and Voltaires. Should he not lead onward his Ciceros, Newtons, and Miltons, and put upon a better path his Voltaires? Is this the end of the teacher's mission? No 5 but he is cultivating minds that are candidates for eternity. He is giving guidance to an immortal spirit, and leading infancy in the path of duty to scale the heights of Wisdom where angels condescend to dwell with man. Wliy, then, shall we not allow truth and wisdom to travel down from those heights of philosophy to the humbler walks of life, and thus up again from the simplest ideas to discoveries that map out new eras for man? VVhy not make education universal and teaching a profession? May We not fondly hope that the God of events will one day effect an intellectual and moral creation by saying, Let there be light. Teaching ought to be, and will be, recognized not merely as one of the professions, but as Me profes- sion. It is of far higher consequence than either medicine or law, and, candidly speaking, claims precedence to theology. It yields theiirst place to theology merely through reverence. The teacher and the preacher have the same end in view-the perfection of our race, yet the preacher receives the character only as the teacher has moulded it. It is the teacher who receives the twig to bend it properly, for as the twig is bent the tree inclines. Grand and noble teacher, you are the unrecognized ruler of the destinies of man I You are the director of those beings who were created a little lower than the angels! You are eventually to bring man back to the lost gates of paradise I 148 To those of my readers whose life's aim it is to help onward the progress of man to this end by entering the profession, let me say, Cherish the thought that you are cultivating Helds closely hlled with plants whose existence is commensurate with eternity. Do your duty faithfully, then will the Divine Teacher bless your humble efforts and afford you the hope of a glorious immortality. Your influence will be indelibly graven upon the tablets of memory, and the results thereof will go down into the chronicles of man. You will erect monuments for yourselves, monuments not made of marble or granite, but monuments whose bases are your humble efforts, and Whose summits will touch heaven, caus- ing the silver strings of the stars to vibrate with majestic music. 149 " THE UNCROWNED KING." Exmnaers FROM A SEQUEL TO 'KTHE COMING PROFESSION 5 QC vb! X. HO, then, is king to cause to come The great of earthls events, To mix the world, make tyrants dumb, Raise palaces from tents? The teacher is that uncrowned king, VVho meekly spreads with care The seeds whose fruits make monarchs wring Their hands in mad despair. O monarch, tyrant, ruler, lord, Thy boast may be of power 5 Thou art but for a time adored, Thy reign's but for the hour. Though nations may now bow the knee Before thy scepter's sway, Ere long that sway will die with thee And pass from earth away. ' Though kingdoms you may have subdued, And reigned from sea to sea, Another soon has thee pursued, And snatched the reign from thee. And thus the boast of power will pass, The glories of mighty state g The Vanities the sovereign has He must consign to fate. O Might, O Power, O Empty Pride, How transient is thy reign ! Forgotten it will be unsighed, And oft leave but a stain. And so it fares the crowned head Who works not on the mind 5 His work of might will Cease, when dead, Oblivion to rind. P 1 50 X1. The teacherls labors ne'er will die Because they are on mind g They will but shine more bright on high Through ages undenned. The teacher moulds the future bards, The kings and warriors great, The private citizen who guards The welfare of the state. The Luthers, and the Newtons, too, The orators he has, The infidels to make them true To God and to the mass. O teacher, do thou play thy part In leading on your race, That thou a living factor art To bring it back to grace. Though paradise was lost of yore On fated Edenls ground, Wie find one on that blissful shore, That stands through ages round. 9? 5? 472 XII. O king uncrowned, you need no crown To show that you're a king, For from your life all ages down Your work will blessings bring. Fulfill your duties while you may, That on a life well spent You can look back to View your day As blessing on man spent. Spread out your hands upon the world, Your benedictions raise, Till prejudice against you hurled Shall all be turned to praise. 151 PLUIVI AND OLD GOLD.

Then symbols were used to denote These deifications, and signs oft remote, Such as flying of birds and the place of the stars, Xllere made use of to tell what promotes or debars. The language of colors and flowers then, too, XVas noticed with care their life's journey all through. Then yellow meant jealousy, blue was for true, Another for conquest, as then they best knew. And such signs and symbols as then were first used, Through the flight of the ages were often abused. And yet-to this day we to many adhere, And many, indeed, all the nations revere 3 And, although perhaps lost their signincance is, No nation their great inspiration would miss. Thus all bodies of men, whether social or state, Some colors adopted to symbolize fate,- x How perchance they success to their acts might portend And conduct them i11 strife, or make enemy friend.

U 156 Human Life. Q9 V99 J' ONSIDERED physically, a man is but a bubble formed in the great ocean of universal life, soon to break and to be absorbed into its original source, A man's life is but a spring of action wound at birth and, unless an accident happens, it gradually spends its force till death. In the progress of the world, the life of each individual is a well-balanced cogwheel working out of those preceding into those succeeding 5 and thus the whole human race is one vast machine Working through the ages and generating power and velocity for the material and spiritual development of the world, in a geomet- rical ratio, ever approaching, yet never reaching, a final standard of human perfection. Each single soul, though short-lived as a span, Supplies a link in God's eternal plan To chain earthls action into one grand whole, Fore'er approaching H13.11kl11d,S perfect goal. Such is a human being in his relation to humanity as a whole. Thus, While life is as evanescent as a dream in the night, philo- sophically considered, its roots are firmly ramifying through the soil of the succeeding ages, while, with its branches penetrating into the vantage-ground of heaven, its blossoms shed their fragrance throughout the ethereal regions of eternity forever. Taking a single human life, We may aptly compare it to a day. As the sun comes up out of the depths of the east, diluting night into a faint twilight, the herald of a new day, so the babe rises from life's great ocean, beginning a new revolution in the great 157 cycle of being. The babe now by slow steps develops a sense of self, hence of dawning ideas, even as the sun chases the twilight before its ascending progress. The early morning of its life having thus fairly begun, it learns and gathers many of the facts of the world as roll by roll it revolves into further being. Its individuality becomes more and more defined as the sun rises higher and scatters the fogs of the morning. The sun is now ascending halfway to the meridian, as upward the child is rising into youth with a corresponding widening of its mental horizon. The higher the sun ascends, tl1e farther extend his rays g so the higher the youth rises into age the more he broadens into the affairs and complexities of the world, and the farther he sees into its future. His forenoon now being spent, the youth rises into manhood, thus reaching the highest ascent of his sun. This, truly, is the great feast-time of life. It is now that he wings his way with almost angelic possibilities to the remotest points of iniiuence and the highest heaven of investigation. This period, by its accumu- lated latent energy, extends through the greater part of life's afternoon, but yet his powers are surely, but slowly, yea, almost imperceptibility, shrinking as the sun gradually descends from his high station. The sun thus continues to descend toward the west, illuminating with a subdued light of glory the locks of his temples into a silvery gray, a symbol of the approaching sunset with the clouds of human misery, now overcome, fringed with borders of gold. Thus old age has now been fully entered, and with an eye, half spirit, his soul, now laying aside its idols of earth, looks beyond into the borderland of saints, calmly and composedly awaiting its translation thither. Now the mingling colors of life's sunset, dappled with roseate hues, and life's impending clouds set aglow with golden colors by the glory of the coming scene, come hover- ing over him, as the sun is about to dip below the horizon and to retreat from the gaze of the world. Thus the deeper and deeper twilight overtaking him in his last and lingering steps, he gently A 158 sinks to his rest, closing to the World a scene repeated by every human life g but ozzbf to the preswz! world, for as the sun continues to shine on other shores, so he is again to rise, but in greater splendor, and to renew on another shore the course destined for him by his God. With song of the Muse let me draw to a close, And see how man's life like the sun's passage goes. How dreamlike, how transient, how mystic is life I It seems but a moment attended with strife. As up comes the sun from the depths of the east, So man begins life,-of all creatures the least. As to its meridian the sun now ascends So man to the world nobler labors extends. His youth now well spent, and his manhood begun, He moves through his zenith along with the sun. His manhood now past, he descends into age, As downward the sun moves the day to encage. The evtning now settles and kisses his locks, As unto their roosts last assemble the cocks. The sun settles down through the roseate hues, As man less and less what is worldly pursues. As lowers the night like a mantle of gloom Death kisses his brow that his soul may assume Its gloriiied state in God's kingdom above, lVhere no sunset shall come to those children of love, But where Bethlehem's Star the great centre-light is Upon which revolves all eternity's bliss. Oh, changeful Life, how can I better tell Thy truthful tale than in bard Byron's spell !- Between two worlds life hovers like a star 'Twixt night and morn, upon the horizon's verge. How little do we know that what we are ! How less what we may be l the eternal surge Of time and tide rolls on, and bears afar Our bubbles g as the old burst, new emerge Lashed from the foam of ages g while the graves Of empires heave but like some passing wavef' ti 159 JUNIOR IDEAL. .92 M4 al O poet can describe her, No painter's brush portray Q She lives among the fairies, Xvhere it is always May, More fair than Natures blossoms And fairer far than day, She would not pose for painters To learn what people say.

Her form is neat and stately, I can not half define g Her ev'ry action graceful,- She must be half divine.

Long aeons past, the morning stars did sing : From world to world did myriad voices ring Clear up to heaven's gate, till choirs arrayed Eternally with glory Caine to aid Night's sentinels to praise creation's King. Coeval with grim Darkness, Silence' wing, E'er Nature first began, in stillness played, Suspended o'er void space, till God's own voice lVent forth oninific and created all.

Pour forth thy strains of music sweet, Entrance and sway my soul, Till Truth and I together meet In Naturels grander whole To walk in sweet companionship, Commune at Nature's shrine, That Truth may deeper make me dip Into her founts divine. Let me a lesson learn of thee How thee thy Maker guides, Tl1at I may feel 'tis God that me Directs where darkness hides. Thou bird encaged, how canst thou sing So cheerily as this, And yet so sweetly as to bring To me deep sense of bliss? Thou, though imprisoned, patient art, And ceasest not from song To gratify thy I11E1StC1'iS heart, Xvho cages thee so long. He seems no tyrant unto thee, Else how couldst thou delight To sing for whom thou canst not flee To wing thyself from sight,- To bathe thyself in purer air, To sing thy song on high, To Wing thy way to places Where All year the birds can fly. 162 And yet, dear bird, thou knowest not 'What dangers might arise,- Thou mightest freeze, or starve, be shot, If thou wouldst brave the skies, A few short hours thou couldst survive And then wouldst cease thy lay 3 Here thee thy master keeps alive To sing his cares away. O then how thankful shonldst thou be That freedom is 11Ot thine I YVithout life, freedom is not free And cannot be divine. Again, what lesson hast thou taught To 1116 and all my ki11d !

How little do we know what ills The world would have in store, NVould not our Lord o'errule our wills That we might praise Him more. lVe, too, like thee encaged are And narrowed ill our sphere, Else we should soar from star to star And perish there or here. Then praise and adoration be To Him who for us cares, For He protects both us and thee And homes for us prepares. Thus, though the world a prison seems And darkness seems to reign, From out tl1e dark come blessed beams That light life's mystic main. Be ever Cahn, then, sighing soul, Ne,er look too far beyond g But yield thyself to God's Control, And then of life be fond. 163 Horseshoe Niagara. V53 V55 Q5 I-IAD seen some of nature's wonders before, I had drunk my ill of many a beautiful scene, but when I looked upon Niagara, as in the case of the Queen of Sheba of old, I could truly say that the half of its grandeur had not been told. To know Niagara, one must have seen it. Every season, every day, every hour, every shade of light and darkness, every sun- beam, gives it a new appearance. This is the reason why tourists differ in minutiae. I shall therefore present Horseshoe Fall as it appeared to me without entering into details. The river, about a half mile broad above the fall, comes rolling down as from a hillside, from the ordinary trot of a horse to that on the race track, the waves all panting with fury to outrun one another, till they are absorbed into one mighty overflow. The rapids below the fall are no less wonderful. Every tourist remembers the scene below, how the stupendous solid waves pro- duced by the fall come welling up from the unknown depths of the rock-worn chasm. The Canada side bounding the fall is a beautiful park where people can rest their wearied bodies while feasting their eyes upon this great wonder of nature. The chief obj ect of interest on the New York side, to say nothing of the American fall, is Goat Island, which is connected with different other places by bridges, I shall now return more particularly to the fall itself. In shape it is very like a crescent with its horns bent outward, its horse- shoe shape having been lost by the erosion of the water. Its breadth is nearly a half of a mile. Its height is estimated at 165 feet. It is staggering to form an idea of the immense volume of 164 water that is daily thundering down over this rocky precipice, making the very earth tremble beneath one's feet, it being estimated to be upward of 1,500,000,000 cubic feet per minute. The depth of the sheet at the center is variously estimated at from eighteen to twenty-two feet, where the color of the water appears to be a deep blue. Could Horseshoe Fall be harnessed like elec- tricity, it would turn theispindles of a nation. The mighty plunge of its water forms a spray in the air that rises at times to three times the height of the fall 5 and, in the case of a breeze, it is carried quite a distance beyond its canons. . As we stood upon Goat Island bridge at the very edge ofthe fall in the forenoon, we saw a sight as beautiful as eyes may wish to see. The rays of the sun passing through the spray formed a primary and a secondary rainbow of singular beauty. There was a general play of prisniatic colors as the particles of mist, like so many little diamonds glittering in the sun, kept dancing in the atmosphere. The blazing sun gave existence to a thousand shades and tints that gently harmonized and blended into a pris- matic arch of inexpressible beauty, while every Hitting cloud, as it spread its shading wings over this unspeakable charm, gave it a new expression, as if angels of different glory were unceasingly changing the scene. And as we descended into the gorge, the bow became more and more circular, until it appeared as an almost closed halo at an obtuse angle with the sun. As the sun ascended toward the meridian, this bow descended until it seemed to retreat into the very waters. As now the sun descended from his high station it sank into a haze as if in tears, and got more and more of a halo of a sickening appearance around it as it settled into the lower strata of the atmosphere and of this spray, so that the scene was to the lover of nature a most sublime one. And thus the Lord of Day retreated to his rest into his burrows of the west, and spread his mantle of darkness over the face of nature, and left me with a few companions there upon the east canon of Niagara to meditate for a while in the intense gloom upon this dreamlike scene. 165 After darkness had fairly commenced its reign, the moon, coming up out of the east, glorying in its apparent fullness, trans- Hgured Niagara into a scene enhanced by the gloomy solitude of night that was truly full of awe. The stars, too, as they budded one by one in the 'fields above, were looking down from the heights of heaven as if to share with us the magical beauty of moonlit Niagara. The exquisite play of the soft moonlight beams in the spray as vvell as upon the silver-crested billows above, the rolling thunder of the descending sheet, the solitude of all else around us, night with her thousand eyes above, gave a charm to this scene that made 1ny breast heave and my heart swell and beat in unison with the throbbing of this great pulse of nature, the proclaimer that as long as it overflows We have a visible manifestation of the wisdom and power of God. 166 N .

J! .al V75 The following love letter was found in one of the upper halls of the college, supposed to have been written by a Freshman who seems to be charmed in l1is first love. O dear, the look you chanced in glee, My eyes can neier forget g It was so full of hope to me, It haunts me ever yet. It comes when at my books I sit, It comes when I'm at ease 5 It comes, and I am courting it, E'en if I am at peace. And I shall send this letter now, As if I had a right To court those curls upon your brow, Although Pm not a knight. Those rosy cheeks, 1,111 well aware, Are kissed by prouder lips 3 But let me tell you, fairest fair, They're those who tell you fxbs. And so I'm not at all abashed To ask your hand and heart, Because I know that you're unmatched In playing honor's part. I hope this feeble message may Be looked upon with grace, May bring to me the darling gay With condescending ways. So feeling much relieved, I now Retire with lightened heart, NVith hope which neither foe can mar, Nor friend can disregard. IVe hope that this fanciful love letter may have its desired effect, and that the day may not be far distant when this dreaming Freshman shall be in his glory with his expected wife. 179 'I II I IEf,I'.,I" f,fIIIIII I' I 'IMI mg I .Q W' 0 Ifnlga T I9 P4 2.7572 FLA ,,...

Base-ball at Muhlenberg the coming season, the prospects are, will be in a very booming and promising condition. The business manager arranged a very creditable schedule of games. The schedule shows that Muhlenberg College is booked for fifteen games, all of which are to be played on the college campus. Quite likely the most interesting game that will be played the coming season, will be the one between the Fein. Sem. nine and Muhlen- berg's post-graduate team. Vt7ith interest do we look forward to this game. Both nines are well matched, and Va good and interesting game is expected. Our nine is daily practicing on the campus so as to be in good condition for the coming event. Our wishes are that Muhlenberg, as a whole, may be found to be loyal to her colors on that great occasion. May she encourage our nine to go into the battle with vim and courage, so that i11 the end Muhlenberg College may, for the third time, be found at the head of the Intercollegiate Base-Ball League.

GLEE CLUB SELECTION-"Curfew must not Ring To-night," . C. K. Ff-Y 183, During the course of the exercises, one of the boys swzlfbed the college bell. No one missed it until Prof. K. heard the boys ring it on the campus. Immediately two lady teachers were dispatched after them, the boys were overtaken on top of Hamilton Street hill, where, after some entreating on the part of the teachers, it was handed over to them, because they were of the other sex. The following article, written in memory of this occasion, appeared in The College Folio .- THE FIRST BOOK OF CHRONICLES OF THE CHILDREN OF LUTHER. I. Now it came to pass in the eleventh month and the seventeenth day of the n1ontl1, that the children of the house of Luther gathered themselves together, with many others, from one end of tl1e city even to the other end, to play on instruments and sing songs before the house of Zwingli. 2. And a son of Muhlenberg, and all Luther played before Zwingli with all their might, and with singing and with flutes and with instruments that make a pleasant sound: and they were with the children of Zwingli many hours, charming them with their courtesy and with their grace. 3. Now it came to pass as they sat in the house, the sound of the warning bell was heard : yet the children of the house of Luther heeded it not, and seemed not to hear it with their ears. 4. And it came to pass the same night, when half an hour had expired, at the time when the lights go out, and at the ringing of the second bell, a Freshmanite led forth the hosts of the country of Luther to go to their own people. 5. But he rendered not again according to the benefits done unto him. 6. For it came to pass after this that a certain ruler of the house of Zwingli called quickly to another ruler, saying, Take heed, now, for do I not hear in the midst of the elm trees the sound of a ringing bell? 7. And is it not the bell which we cherish? and with which we call together the young maidens to council in the schools of Zwingli? 8. And the young ruler answered, Yea, verily! it is so. Shall we over- take the young men and bring again the bell of our house to us? 9. And the chief ruler answered, If it seems good unto thee, let us run after the young men who have dealt treacherously with us, have betrayed our hospitality, and have done evil Ll11l1O us this night. io. So the valiant rulers of the house of Zwingli followed hard after the young men and overtook them in the borders of the Luther country. II. And the chief ruler stood upon the hill and said, Hear me, thou son of Muhlenberg, and all Luther: Ought ye not to know that ye were per- mitted to sit with the daughters of Zwinoli as men and not as thieves, barbarians, and rufhans? 6 G 184 I2. Has your training not taught you, vain men, ye children of Belial, the customs of courtesy in the house of your friends? 13. And now ye tl1ink to withstand us and the kingdom 'of the house of Zwingli, for ye are many. But we swear unto you this night, if ye hearken not unto us, to deliver unto us the bell which one of you now holds under l1is coat, we will speak unto the father of the house of Luther that he make your yoke heavy, and that he add yet thereto, and that he chastise you with tasks not easy to be borne. 14. But, if ye accept our council, and give unto us that which ye have taken from us, and that which CV611 now soundeth under one's garment, we shall 11ot report you to your father. 15. Then answered the guilty young man to him who addressed llllll, saying, I pray thee, take thy bell, and I beseech thee, lay not my sin to my charge, nor yet return my shortcomings to tl1e father of the house of Luther, that he make not my yoke 111011-3 grievous nor my servitude more burdensome. 16. And when he had humbled himself before the rulers, their wrath turned from him, and they returned to their OW11 people rejoicing, and the people rejoiced with them. 17. Now the rest of tl1e acts of this son of Muhlenberg and his ways, and the evil which he did, will they not be written in the book CIARLA of the house of Luther? 185 Exchanges.

The Sophomores are willing to " swear OE " on Botany. - Miller, C. C., says that the mineral he admires most is Miller-ite. If silence is gold, many students are millionaires during recitation. Fegley, '98, and Triunbower, '99, tried to analyze a Hunk, could not do it, and hence iiunked. 207 Prof.'s theory that the world is round: "Since my shoe soles always wear away faster on the one side than on the other." The atmosphere in the scientific room becomes so strong at times that it causes the blackboard erasers to evaporate. Students of the Class of 'oo, who play foot-ball, will have naught to light for. McCullough says that, according to the laws of gravitation, he is at times attracted to the northwestern part of the city. If anybody ever longs to be a millionaire, it is the Senior who treats his lady to soda water, and then Hnds that he has mistaken a button in his pocket for a dime. Gery has carried out his idea of taking unto himself a wife g " for," said he, "thus we find it written in the Scriptures: 'It is not good for man to be alone! " Kleppinger thinks kissing is an act of Christianity, because it is putting the Golden Rule into practice. - Fretz, when home, tried a very peculiar experiment. He gave hot water to the chickens so that they would be able to lay boiled eggs thereafter. The theory that the more a student has the more he wants, doesn't hold good in the case of twins. Hartzell, '97, says he always writes thirteen letters before lie gets e-n-c-o-u-r-a-g-e-m-e-n-t. If it depends on brightness, Schofer will take first honor. " Manhoodj' says Fehr, "includes woman, for man embraces woman." Dr. E. brought complaint against Beck, I., for cruelty to animals. Recently Rex wrote to a certain firm and received the following answer by postal 1 'K W'e don't have that particular interlinear just now."

Reliable pigments and pure lin- seed oil nlake the best paint. No manufacturer has a patent- right on this. Vtfe do not claim to have " the best paint in the world," but "as good as the best,'l and Positively Superior to most Paints in the market. For evidence read the following letter to our agents at Syracuse, N. Y. The paint analyzed was taken from their stock without our knowledge. SYRACUSE LINIVERSITY, Syn.-xcusu, N. Y. GENTLEMEN: I have finished the analysis of the Paints obtained of you and marked " Breinig's Ready-MixedPai11ts." I find the body of' the Paints to be composed of White Lead and Zinc, with the proper amount oi' pigment to give them the different shades ol' color. The oil with which the paints are mixed is Pure Linseed Oil. To this latter fact'-the purity ofthe oil-I would direct special attention, as the durability of paint depends almost entirely on the quality of the oil used in its preparation. 1.1.
