Qshoet fa leeteh of The Qife of Panels Q-Seott eg. Wrz'!e7z by his Dazcghler, Mrs. .fllaricz Lloyd Slade. A My father, F. S. Key, was born at Serra Rubra, Frederick County, Maryland, where his father had built and settled after the war. He had no brothers and only one sister, Ann Arnold Key, who married Judge Taney. He was born on the 9th of August, 1780. Much of his childhood and youth was spent at Annapolis and at Bel- voir, the country home of his family, a large farm about seven miles from Annapolis. He went to school in Annapolis and then attended St. john's College, graduating in 1796. 'While in Annapolis his home was with his uncle, Dr. Scott, who had married Elizabeth Ross, the sister of his grandmother, Ann Arnold Ross. F. S. Key married Mary Lloyd, of Annapolis, in 1802, and opened a law office in Frederick, where he lived for a few years, and afterwards removed to Georgetownand practiced law in Wasliiiigtoii. He very soon engaged in church work, ever since I can remember, having church services in vacant parishes besides visiting the poor and sick and prisoners in jail. He had several dependents whom he entirely supported, taking us Chis childrenj to visit them, and teaching and praying with them in great fervor and earnestness. He removed to Wasliirigtoii to live about the year 1838. He died in Baltimore on the 11th of january, and is buried in the cemetery at Frederick beside his wife and one of his sons. THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER. O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, And where are the foes who so vauntingly swore XVhat so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, That the havoc of war and the battlels confusion, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the 'perilous hght, A home and a country should leave us no more ? Over the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, No refuge could save the hireling and slave Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there : From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave 3 O sav does that Star-spangled Banner yet wave And the Star-spaugled Banner in triumph doth wave Oier the land of the free and the home of the brave? O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. On that shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep, 1 O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand VVhere's the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, i Between their loved homes and the war's desolation 3 What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, 1 Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land As it iitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses? Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation ? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, , Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, In full glory reflected now shines in the stream : And this be our motto, 'In God is our trust 3 ' 'Tis the Star-spanglcd Banner 3 O long may it wave And the Star-spangled Banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. O'er the land of the free and the l1on1e ofthe brave ! 7 IQQQ5 Qefterf. QA, ,.,,.,fA.,.Q.pz-.

AVING attained to the dignified and elevated posi- tion of Juniors, and being possessed of certain aspirations to establish our names upon imperish- able -records, we, the class of Ninety-seven, have bethought ourselves of an idea, bold in its conception but brilliant in its possible execution, and which, though quite unfamiliar to us and our college, may nevertheless merit due success in its ultimate achievement. We can not but think that the publication of a creditable annual Would not only satiate our ambition for distinction, but would also appreciably Widen the bound- aries to which the ever-increasing fame of St. John's has already become extended. Convinced of this fact, We would fain be the fortunate ones to whose progress and industry may be allotted the honor of issuing the first college annual from these ancient and historic Walls. Upon the commencement of this task, We found our- selves confronted by several discouragements, prominent among which Was our decided inexperience for coping with the many difficulties necessarily presented in the accomplishment of our cherished design. Attempting to cast aside these impediments, We labored obstinateljv onward, now and then effecting some worthy results, until at last We have laid down our pens with the con- scientious satisfaction that every effort has been expended toward the reputuable and successful production of a Work which would reflect honor upon the institution it represents, and would be, above all, a lasting credit to the class claiming it as the result of the long hours assid- uously consumed in its completion. We now modestly put forth this publication, earn- estly commending generous leniency in the critical eye of the public, and hoping sincerely, though perhaps somewhat sanguinely, that in their approbation we may finally receive the coveted reward for which we have so carefully and so diligently contended. 1 A Q w 5 3 31 1 Q L PROF.

JOHN'S COLLEGE, at Annapolis, the alma mafeff of so many of Maryland's most noted and honored sons, is charmingly situated on the banks of the Severn River, a few miles from the Chesepeake Bay. Nothing in the country sur- passes the picturesque beauty of its situation. Facing College Avenue are McDowell Hall, the cen- tral building, with Pinkney Hall, named after Williani Pinkney, a distinguished alumnus, and the residence of the president and vice-president on the left, and Hum- phreys Hall and two buildings which professors occupy on the right. The campus, which slopes toward the avenue, embraces about twenty acres. The front lawn is shaded by large, handsome maples, lindens, poplars and other trees. Nearly in front of Pinkney Hall is a gigantic poplar tree, fresh-looking and green, with ivy climbing up around its old boughs, which is supposed to be older than even the ancient city of Annapolis. The first treaty with the Indians is said to have been signed under its shade. Nearly every side of Pinkney Hall is covered with ivy, and the same vine is making its way over the other buildings, which gives them a venerable a11d digni- fied appearance. McDowell Hall, tl1e central building, is four stories high, and in it are recitation rooms and offices. Cn the first floor is a large graduation hall, with a gallery above, upon which are hung shields with Latin and other inscriptions giving the names of the members of each graduating class. A curious old belfry surmounts the structure, and a common cord, by which the bell is rung, passes through the various floors. Everything about the old house carries one back to days long past. Even after this lapse of time can be seen places in the old hall filled in with bricks where the pillars were to be put out and from which porches were to project. 011 the south side the places left for the pillars were never filled in. Near the eaves are blocks of wood inserted in the bricks, where cornices were to be placed 3 and in the library is a curious collection of rare old theological books from the old King Willia1i1's School. Humphreys Hall is used for the accommodation of the younger boys, and Pinkney Hall is occupied by the more mature college students. The view from the halls is attractive. The Severn River is on the left and in the rear of the ground, the Naval Academy further along on the left, and the town, with the old State House and Governors mansion, in front and on the right. Such is St. John College, whose history forms one of the most interesting chapters in the annals of Maryland. I 4 V NA--V -A-V U- WV A-A , ,N ,,,, ,,,,,,,,,. .,,.......-...9. It reaches back in the continuity of its records to the earliest colonial times. The first effort to establish a college in Maryland was made by the General Assembly, convened in the city of St. Mary's in the year 1671. An act was then passed by the Upper H'ouse of Assembly, for founding and erecting a school or college for the education of youth in learning and virtue. This act was returned by the Lower House with cer- tain amendments providing for the differences in religious views existing at that, time among the people, which amendments were not acceptable to the Upper House, and there the bill rested. In 1694, the then Governor, Sir Francis Nicholson, sent a message to the Legislature proposing that a way may be found for the building of a free school for the province, and offering to give money for its mainten- ance. The plan was approved, and the General Assembly offered subscriptions of tobacco. No further action was taken at this time, but in 1696 an act was passed which resulted in the establishment of King Willianils School. This act recites that the school was established for the propagation of the Gospel and education of youth in good letters and manners. It was addressed to 'K His Most Excellent Majesty, etc., ' Dread Sovereign ' Williaiii III. of England. This law further enacted that the Most Reverend Father in God. Thomas, by Divine Pro- vidence, Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate and Metropolitan of all England, may be Chancellor of said school, and that to perpetuate the memory of your Majesty, it may be called King Willia1n's School. The Reverend Dr. Bray, who had been appointed Commissary of Maryland by the Bishop of London, and who is said to have been the originator of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, was mainly instrumental in obtaining this said act. King Willianils School was thus established. Goy- ernor Nicholson gave to the school a lot in the town of Annapolis, with the house thereon, and the Legislature appropriated money to it, but the school-house was not finished until I7OI. It was of brick, and stood on the south side of the State House. The Bishop of London had sent over the Rev. Andrew Gaddes to take charge of tl1e school, but he not finding it finished, was sent to All Saints', Calvert County, Md. The earliest mention of an officiating master of the school is found in the records of St. Annes Parish Church. They record, Died, November oth, I7I3, Rev. Edward Butler, rector of St. Annels, and master of the free school, Annapolisf' Few of the names of the rectors of the school have come down to us, but about 1756, and for nine years after that date, Mr. Isaac Dalzen is mentioned as master of the school. On the I7'El1 of August, 1784, the Rev. Ralph Higginbotham was appointed master of King XVilliam's School, and when at a later date the school became incor- v 5, H5 E v 3 Q IVICDOWELL HALL porated with the college, we find him occupying the posi- tio11 of Professor of Languages in the newly-organized institution. This school is noted ill the annals of the State as the nursery of some of her greatest men, amongst others the distinguished lawyer and statesman, VVilliam Pinkney. Information, however, regarding this seminary is but meager, although the act of 1750 indicates that the school was not without influential friends and supporters. Ill the meantime, in 1732, as appears by a paper 11ow lyi11g in the executive department at Annapolis, proposals for founding a college at Annapolis were read i11 the Upper House of Asse111bly and recommended to the considera- tltill of the Lower House, but no legislative effect was given to these proposals. This project was again revived in 1763. A com- mittee of the General Assembly recommended that the house i11 the city of Annapolis wl1icl1 was intended for the Governor of the province, be completely finished a11d used for the college proposed to be establisliedfl the money for the worl: to come out of the public treasury. The annual cost of the faculty, consisting of seven mas- ters, with the five servants, was provided for. The measure, however, failed to pass the Upper House. Ten years later the intention of establishing a college i11 Annapolis was again manifested, as we learn from a letter written Gctober ith, 1773, by 'Williani Eddis, surveyor of customs, at Annapolis, to a friend i11 England. I11 this letter he states that Hthe Legislature has determined to found a college for the education of youth in every liberal and useful branch of science, which will preclude the necessity of crossing the Atlantic for tl1e completion of a classical and polite education. A building on the banks of the Severn, originally intended for the Governors mansion, but described i11 the letter as K' a melancholy and mouldering monument, was desig- nated as the proposed collegeiate edifice. This building is now McDowell Hall, the central one of five constituting St. Iohn's College. The Revolution interfered with the carrying out of the plan, but in i784 tl1e charter of St. John's College was granted, two years after a like charter had been given for the establishment of W'ashington College at Chestertown, on the Eastern Shore. It was intended by the terms of the charter that the two colleges thus founded should constitute one univer- sity under the 11an1e of the University of Maryland. By act, 1785, the property a11d funds and students of King W'illiam's School were conveyed to St. John's College. Among the chattels passed to the college were a number of quaint and curious volumes l' brought over by tl1e Rev. Dr. Bray from England, and which still remain in the library of St. johnls. - On November 11, 1789, the college was formally opened, and the dedication was performed with much solemnity, all the public bodies being in attendance, and forming a long procession from State House to the college hall. Among the students of that early period are to be found the names of George Washington Park Custis, a stepgrandson, and Fairfax and Lawrence Washington, nephews of George Washington, also, of Francis Scott Key, who entered St. john's, November 11th, 1789, and graduated in 1796. ' On Friday morning, March 25th, 1791, President Washington, attended by the Governor of Maryland and a number of citizens, visited St. john's College, and expressed much satisfaction at the appearance of this rising institution. The following letter was written a little later as a proof of his friendly sentiments toward St. johnls :Q ANNAPOLIS, April 7th, 1791. To THE FACULTY OF ST. JoHN's COLLEGE. GENTLEMEN :-The satisfaction which I have derived from my visit to your infant seminary is expressed with real pleasure, and my wishes for its progress to perfection are proffered with sincere regard. The very promising appearance of its infancy must Hatter all its friends Qwith whom I entreat you to class mej, with the hope of an early, and at the same time, a mature manhood. You will do justice to the sentiments which your kind regard towards myself inspires, by believing that I reciprocate the good wishes contained in your address, and I sincerely hope the excel- lence of your seminary will be manifested in the morals and science of the youths who are favored with your care. GEORGE WASHINGTON. With the aid of private subscriptions as well as lib- eral appropriations from the Legislature, the college went forward under Dr. john McDowell, the nrst president, in its work of educating men, till january, 1806, when the Legislature, by majority of only six, withdrew the annuity, and the visitors and governors of the college were compelled to announce that the college must close. Within the brief period of thirteen years, from 1793. when the first class was graduated, until 1806, the names of four Governors of Maryland, six United States Sena- tors, five members of the House of Representatives. four judges of the Courts, one Attorney-General, one United States District Attorney, one Auditor of the United States Treasury, six State Senators, fifteen members of the House of Delegates, besides foreign consuls. oiiicers of the army and navy, physicians and surgeons. distin- guished lawyers Cincluding one Chancellor of South Caro- linay, college professors, etc., are to be found among the names in the register of the alumni. In I-S07 Rev. Dr. Bethel Judd was chosen principal, and the work. though grieviously hampered by the action of the Legislature. was partially continued, and in january, ISI2, SIOOO of the annuity was restored. A lottery granted in ISZI added 320,000 to the funds, and enabled the college to extend its work. Rev. Dr. Henry Lyon Davis served as principal from 1820 to 1824, and the Rev. Dr. XYilliam Rafferty from I824. to 1831. In 1831 Rev. Dr. Hector , 1 in W 15 ' 'I'-'Q , ' :,- -f ' i1-- ' '. .

Humphreys was appointed principal, a11d by his perse- vering efforts and personal influence with the members of the Legislature a sum of 52000 was added to the annuity, provided the Board of Visitors and Governors should agree to accept it in full satisfaction of all legal or equitable claims that they might have or be supposed to have against tl1e State. The Board consented, and tl1e deed of release was executed and entered upon the records of tl1e Court of Appeals. At the same time the Governor ofthe State, President of the Senate Speaker of the House of Dele- gates, and the judges of the Court ofAppeals were Illilde ex-WMO members of the Board, indelibly Hxing to the college the character of a State i11stitutio11. In 1833 tl1e principal was authorized by tl1e Visitors 21IlCl Governors to collect a fund of 1iS30,o00. About .,l?SII,OOO was raised, and in june, 1835, the CO1'11S1' stone of Humphreys Hall was laid with i111pres- sive ceremonies. Chancellor john johnson, a distin- guished alumnus, was the orator. From this time 011 there are lists of graduates for each year except 1843, '45, '48, ,SI and '54, u11til 1855, whe11 the college was reorganized, and in the 5211116 year Pinkney Hall was built. Two years afterward Dr. Humphreys was suc- ceeded by Rev. Dr. C. K. Nelson. He guided the col- lege successfully till 1861, when the college buildings were utilized as a 111ilitary hospital by the United States Army u11til the close of the war. The Board of Visitors in 1859, believing the Act of 1806 a violation of charter rights, and therefore void, brought suit to recover tl1e amount of their claim-over ,830o,000, including interest, but the Court held that the Board of Visitors could 11ot avoid the release given in 1833, and the suit went against tl1e111. Reverdy johnson a11d other eminent lawyers held that lllldel' tl1e ter111s of the charter the board l1ad go11e beyond its powers in granting the release, and advised tl1at the case be taken to the Supre111e Court of the United States. Ill 1866, after tl1e close ofthe Civil NVar, Zlllfl while measures were in progress for obtaining a decree in favor of the college, the Legislature restored tl1e arrearages of the annuity of 53000, suspended from 1861 to 1866, a11d appropriated an additional sum of 512,000 per annum for live years from the first of 1868. The Board of Visitors, believing that this appropriation would be a per111a11ent one, a11d that it was given i11 due recognition of the clai111s of tl1e college, accepted it i11 good faith, and relinquished the suit which they had bee11 prepared to make. The college buildings were put in thorough repair, and Dr. Henry Barnard, of Connecticut, late Connnis- sioner of Education, was elected principal, and the col- lege was reopened in Septe111ber, 1866. On his resigna- tion the following Su111mer, Dr. James C. Wellixig, after- wards and now president of Columbian University, XVashington, D. C., was chosen principal, arid the college opened in the Autumn with 115 students. Before the close of the next session the Board of Visitors and Gov- ernors, in recognition of the increased annuity, passed an ordinance establishing 150 State scholarships, each scholarship entitling the holder to exemption from the payment of room rent and tuition fees in any department of the college, and the number of students in attendance increased to 225. Dr. Welling resigned at the close of the session 1869-70, and Dr. james M. Garnett, now pro- fessor at the University of Virginia, was appointed in his stead. Under his administration, in 1871, the first class since 1860 was graduated, and- continuously thereafter classes have been duly graduated each year. The Gen- eral Assembly of 1872 renewed the appropriations for six years, and that of 1878 for two years. The Legislature of I88O having failed to make an appropriation, Dr. james M. Garnett, with other members of the faculty, tendered their resignations, which were accepted by the Board of Visitors. Rev. Dr. I. M. Leavitt was invited to undertake the administrative duties of the college, and though, in 1882, the Legislature appropriated 37500 for two years, the number of students in attendance continued steadily to dwindle. The Legislature of 1884 made no appropria- tion, but 34000 was appropriated in 1886, and the interest on the college debt provided for in 1888. In the Summer of 1884 Dr. Leavitt resigned, and went abroad for his health, and Prof. William H. Hopkins, subsequently appointed President of the Woman's College, Baltimore, Md., was installed as acting principal.

At the opening f sion, 1886-87, when he entered upon his Cut were but sixty students in attendance. and tit condition of the grounds and buildings greatly deteriorated. He at once set to work to the study rooms and to promote the comfort of dents during their residence at college. The stoves were removed, and in their place steam apparatus was introduced. Bath-rooms. with cold water, and other conveniences. were place Humphreys and Pinkney Halls. New life 5 were also infused into the whole course of ins and, as a consequence, the number of students next year amounted to 138. or more than t number in attendance at the time of his .ippo v HUNIPHREYS HALL On the 26th of june, 1889, the college celebrated the rooth anniversary of its existence under the title of St. -l'ohn's College. Many of the old students returned for the occasion, and friends who had not met for years exchanged the heartiest greeting. Owing to the large assemblage of visitors a tent was erected on the campus, in the shade of the famous old poplar tree, where the literary features of the programme were carried out. At IO o'clock, in imitation of the ceremony observed at the founding of the College in 1789, the Board of Visi- tors and Governors, the faculty, headed by Dr. Fell, wearing his academic gown and hood, and alumni, formed in procession at the State House, and, escorted by the battalion of College cadets in uniform, under command of Lieutenant jamar, U. S. A., marched to the tent on the campus. On the platform, erected under the ancient poplar tree, among many others, were seated Governor jackson, who was ex-Qfjicio president of the Board of Visitors, Rev. Drs. C. K. Nelson, john M. Leavitt and Williaiii H. Hopkins, former principals of the college: President Fell, Dr. Abram Claude, Maj. Sprigg Harwood, Capt. john Mullan, Messrs. Frank H. Stockett, Nicholas Brewer, J. Schaaff Stockett, Philemon H. Tuck, john S. Wirt, Dr. T. Barton Brune, and Dr. james D. lglehart, Rev. Dr. Gilando Hutton, and Philip R. Voorhees. An historical sketch of the college was read by the latter gentleman, after which followed a centennial ode by Rev. J. M. Leavitt, D. D., and an address by the Rev. Leighton Parks, D. D., of Boston, an. alumnus of the college. After the benediction had been pronounced by Rev. C. K. Nelson, D. D., the commemorative tree was planted on the college campus by Mrs. jackson, wife of Governor jackson. At the close of the ceremony an artillery salute of twelve guns was fired in honor of the event by the college corps. Toward the close of 1891 the Board of Visitors authorized President Fell to initiate a movement for the formation of an endowment fund. In furtherance of this project an open letter was sent to each alumnus, inviting them to subscribe a sum of SI0,000 3 which has been responded to by them in a gratifying manner. Contribu- tions have also been received from others interested in the welfare of this venerable institution, so that a fair beginning has been made toward placing it upon a sounder financial basis than it has hitherto enjoyed. President Fell, in his last report submitted to the Board of Visitors, says that the number of students on the roll for the present session, 1895-96, amounts to 174, and that in all the literary departments of the college able and progressive work is being accomplished. A more prosperous era appears, therefore, to have dawned upon this the third oldest college of the United States, and that in spite of the numberless vicissitudes which have marked its career it can claim to be ranked among the leading educational institutions of the land, lQlll:.Ql!FllNlll.

SENIOR CLASS. ,af .- Q ? 4 T WAS here in this ancient town that the members of the Class of Ninety-six first became acquainted with one another in the role of fellow-students. In numbers We never did figure as a large class and from the fact that even many of those who were our class- mates have left us, to-day, Anno Domini eighteen hun- dred and ninety-six, there remains from that class scarcely a handful , of faithful co-workers We were all inno- cent looking lads, perhaps somewhat scared-looking ones, too, for the upper classmen did not fail to use their powers to make us revere and obey themg but in spite of them, we prospered and grew to be bright looking boys, laying the foundation of our future glory. As a hard working class we have always stood out pre-emi- nent, and those already sufficiently wise as Freshmen, wishing to rest on their laurels, we left by the wayside. In the distance, ever drawing nearer, we beheld the days of terror-the days of examination 3 now they were upon us, and like a fiash those days were gone only to return when Summer rolled around. Well, most of us survived this chilly blast fit was extremely cold weatheri and had time to become comfortable once more ere the final strug- 3 45 istorg. gle. In the meanwhile, during the balmy days of Spring, we showed our superiority in something else besides mental intellectuality 3 we found that our class contained some base-ball players, and we displayed our prowess in this field by defeating two of the upper classes. XVe felt highly elated at our victories, but from the Rict that we were Freshmen we were quiet enough about it. NVhen you look forward several months to some- thing, it seems then a long while to wait, but after all, time passes quickly enough, and we were soon able to take a Summer's holiday. Glad enough we were of this. To again see familiar friends, to take a rest, to feel we werefno longer Freshmen 3 all of these things tended to increase our joy. The Summer soon passed and September had again rolledaround. The Class of Ninety-six was represented by fewer than the year previous. 'We had one new member, and from appearances the name of Scottie Borgue was very suitable. It would take too much time to enumerate all of the eccentricities of this one person, so we will pass him by. The great event of this, our second year was the abolition of hazing by the three upper classes, and the Freshman came to be as big a man to all appearances as the Senior. Now the success of the class of Ninety-six began to be commented upon all around. We did not let the Work of our Sophomore year decrease. We all received con- gratulations from members of the Faculty for our good work, and We ended our second year at college in about as happy a condition of mind as our first. Qf course We were not at all loath to take a vacation. It's hard to resist the thought of a good time, and oftentimes We give our- selves up to pleasure when we should not do so, but after a Whole school year's work we are entitled to a little fun. So our class thought, and we set out to our different destinations bent upon as easy a life as possible for three .short months. Before Autumn had robbed the trees of their foliage and the fields of their verdure, we were all hard at Work again. Cur class numbered thirteen and we had become juniors. To-day the Senior Class numbers only twelve. The thirteenth-who was No. 1 at the same time-God in His infinite wisdom removed from this World and left us to lament our loss. But in time We recovered partially from the shock and our daily routine of life Went on. Occasionally We juniors broke the monotony of a stu- dent's life and participated in the pleasures and frivolities so often indulged in at college. Behold Pete rocking in an arm-chair and trying to impress upon those around that there is nothing the matter with him. We don't like to doubt our brother's Word, but -- oh, Well We are all guilty of some unintentional misconduct. Another fact to be noted is that at member of Ninety- six suddenly became Weary of a lonely, solitary life and took unto himself a Wife. This was right hard to believe at Hrst, but nevertheless it was true. Itls the character- istic of members of the Senior Class that they are always longing for and striving after more than they have 5 they are never content, and I suppose that is Why Dick took une Epouse. Dick, I rather think, is a disciple of Bill Nye, who tells us to make good of life, for when We die We shall stay dead rather a long time. The year has linally come-the year of our hopes- and as We stand upon the threshold and gaze out into the far future, although We cannot see our destinies out- lined on the horizon, yet all of us can, and no doubt do, build Chateaux en Espague 3 H and whether we realize them or not will depend upon ourselvesg as we look back over the past We recognize and plainly see our many errors, chances that have slipped us and grieve that We have let them pass. We are proud to say though that these years of trial and study, sometimes o'ercast with lowering clouds, have been years of help and knowl- edge to us all. With pride we will look upon old St. John's as our alma wafer, and when out 'in the sea of life, PERSEVERANDO, we hope to gather the fruits of our labor. HISTORIAN.

Q JUNIOR CLASS enough, and others, alas, having fallen by the way- side, as one of our honored faculty would say. This loss, however, was partly made up for by the addition of two new men, one of whom is the Editor-in- Chief and the other the Business Manager of this humble little volume. 1 Having turned our attention in our Freshman year to bettering the condition of the College Cand inciden- tally of ourselvesb, we now occupied our fine large minds with other things. This year, among other good deeds that we performed, may be mentioned worrying one or two profs. nearly to death. The objection may be raised to this that we did not do it thoroughly, and we must admit that we realize now what a mistake we made. But the way we won the inter-class championship in foot-ball pleased everybody Cexcept the Freshmen, juniors and Seniors, and they don't countj. Three months having passed, we again gathered together in the sacred precincts of these ivy-covered wallsf' as every valedictorian for the last five years has said. Athletics were in a Hourishing condition during this year. We had six men on the foot-ball team, and a junior was elected captain of the base-ball team. Of the four on the running team, three were juniors. W'ill, the Beloved, was the member of that dreaded body called the faculty, who seemed to have the most trouble getting along with us. He has threatened us all in turn with being sent out of class for the year, until now it has gotten to be a standing joke, and we expect every day to hear the familiar Mr. ---, if that h-h-happens again, I'll s-send you out for g-g-good. l' It seemed to some that there was a good deal of latent histrionic ability among us and that it was a pity the public should'nt have the benefit of it, so a play, in fact two plays, were gotten up, in which nearly all the parts were taken by juniors. It is needless to say that the entertainment was a success. Some of the men. must have spent the Summer months in deep thought, for scarcely had the term begun when a great proposition was made-so great a proposi- tion that it could not possibly have been thought of on the spur of the moment. It was no less than this-that we juniors should get out an annual. This was a thing which had never been done at St. Johns before : there- fore if we succeeded, it would bring us undying fame. and if we failed, we could sympathize with our class which had attempted it. As it seemed that we had every- thing to gain and nothing to lose, we decided to make the attempt. The result of this attempt was that we published St. john's 'nrst annual exactly two hundred years after the founding of the College. 'We realize that it is an unworthy tribute to this venerable institution on the completion of its two centuries of existence, but we hope it will be taken as an indication of our love for our alma maieff and of our sincere efforts in her behalf.

OW IT WAS so ordered that about the middle of the eighth month of the ninth year of the reign of Tommy, there came together in the land of St. john a noble band of youths and young men, some from far countries, others natives of the land thereof, jews and Gentiles, Marylanders, Pennsyl- vanians, Delawareans, and some from the isles of the sea. They were withal a brave and goodly company, some- what green to look upon, but filled with the spiiit and living in the sight of their lords Qthe upper class menj. And as the days grew apace they did come together in class meeting and elect their class officers, and their lords said it was good, and it was good. And the band did sit at the feet of the scribes and doctors and drink in knowledge and wisdom that they might grow strong and healthful in the spirit and become great captains and wise men among their people. And the band grew in grace and did knock many zips and some lives. But before this time many had become skilled in the divers workings of the punt-off and the touch-down,- yea, even the jack-pot and the punch bowl. Some of the band did attend the dances and other feasts given in the land, while others did worship at tl1e feet of damsels who inhabited this country and did find favor in their eyes, while still others did study the liquid products of the land and did spend long nights in analyzing the great compound B E, R. And the time drew near for the first great pass-over, called the sem-annual exams. Now was a sound as of the trampling of many horses heard in the land, and the band did worship the god Two-Seventy-Five. And when the marks were posted there was great weeping and gnashing of teeth, for many are called but few are chosen. ws V l n v 4 L: A 4 V 1 . l. A I2 i f . fi it I lr 3 v i fi? .y app .ld.

And now was seen the base-ball bat and tennis racquet and other instruments of war, used by the natives of the land in contending with the inhabitants of other countries. And many of the band girded up their loins and went forth upon the field to gain honor for their comrades and did appear great in the eyes of their fellow men. And those that did make the team were puffed up in the pride of their hearts and did shake themselves by the hands many times and say : Verily, verily we say unto you we are the people, we are all wool and a yard wide, and there are no flies on us.'l But the time was now at hand for the second great pass-over called the final exams. And the band did bone hard and make the fur Hy, for their enemies oppressed them sorely. And after the feast of the pass-over the band was filled with great joy and thanksgiving, for of the whole company only four were found unworthy and cast into outer darkness Cthe class of Ninety-ninej. Now was the day come for the band to separate and each-man to go unto his own country. And the day was the end of the first year. And after the lapse of three months the band was again united and the day was the beginning of the second year. And now there came into the country an enemy who persecuted and oppressed the youths and whose yoke was like unto an iron rod. And his name was called Will. And they did so esteem this same Will, surnamed the Beloved, that they did attempt to drive him from his habitation by an infernal machine, and by bricks and by clubs tormented they him. But it is hard to kick against the pricks, the mighty shall prevail in the end. For upon the next great feast of the pass-over nearly one-half of the band were judged unworthy, and great was the grief of the whole company g the liunkers mourn- ing, for their marks would not be comforted. And the band grew and thrived and their presence was felt throughout all the land, for they brought' forth many great warriors and wise men. Of the foot-ballites pro- duced they three, of the base-ballites produced they two, and their orators and honor men were many. But their lords blessed CPD the band and said : Foolish are they that boneth not, for they shall flunk, and the flunker shall not see his sheep-skin. Here endeth the lesson. ' 3 3'-'TEX r I. 'I 1. .

T XVAS during those bright and beautiful days of September that a set of young men-strangers to the precincts of old St. John's--began to assemble here. VVe were made conspicuous by our numbers and greenness. We l1ad not been here long before we became acquainted with another set of young men who called themselves Sophomores, or fthe name is more appropriatej VVi,se Fools. These Sophsf' forgetting that it had not been long since they were called Fresh, and only glorying in their newly attained honor, and Wishing to show the world that a higher position in life did not make them very dignihed, began to show us the ins and outs of college life. Many a mystery was unrav- elled to us. Some of our number thought that these courtesies were not needed, and began to remonstrate. But this did 11ot do: as it was soon shown them to be unwise to refuse any courtesy olfered by the upper classmen. Gthers took life as it came-with the Sophomore. Many were the nights that some of the I1lC111lJE1'S of this new and great addition to College were aroused from their pleasant dreams of home by a visit istoeyg. from that class who call themselves our superiors. It was during these nocturnal visits that our store of knowl- edge was greatly augmented. Some of us were able to prove to a great length the advisability of transferring our abode, during a part of the night, to the attic. XVhile others of us became so very eihcient in wall decoration, that we have decided to establish a class in this art, to which all are invited, particularly the Freshmen. At length, becoming weary of extending these cour- tesies, the Sophomores decided to allow us to shift har ourselves-for a time only. Therefore we determined to form ourselves into a class, which, we hoped, was des- tined for great things during our college life. Having collected our goodly company in McDowell Hall, we proceeded to elect our class officers, unmolested by tl1e Sophomores. XVhen we leit this building we were a class in every sense of the word: a class prepared to battle with all the barriers presented to every one during college life. XVe were also able to offer stronger resist- ance to tyrannies, which the wise fools of College attempted tO C5i21bliSl1. We had not been here long before we were initiated in the great game foot-ball. Some of our members worked hard for the teamg while others made their pres- ence known, when one team contended with some visitor, by their clamorous enthusiasm. We did ourselves jus- tice in this line of athletics, as we were represented on the team by one man more than the Sophomores. We were not far behind in other sportsg and it was through the interest and work of one of our noble class, who holds the amateur championship for shooting in the State, that a gun club was organized. There was yet another giant, which was nearly as great a torment to us as the Sophs, that we had to contend with. This was Knowledge. The intention of our class in coming to this seat of learning was to over- come this giant and his many sons and 'take from them tended with one of the sons of Knowl- wisdom. Many con edge- Math. This opponent, we are told, had caused the downfall of many an upper classman. We had e of this, for when we assembled to do battle with him, we saw many an upper classman gather there to strive against this enemy for a second time, on an equal footing with us. The greatest combat, however, awaited us-our semi-annual exams. Great and long were the preparations for this coming battle. ,This contest was to show whether we had carried out our intentions to overcome Knowledge. Vlfith tremb- ling hands and unsteady gaits we gathered on the respec- tive battle field to have our final contest for at least we hoped it was to beb with some of the many sons of Knowledge. Hard was the battle and many were they that fell. sufficient evidenc -1 , Twmis ul 1 ' , M H I 64 I 1 . A 1 1 4 1 3 I -5 l I ,1 ,4 PREPARATORY SCHOOL A 5 PepaPuTOR3j ehOOI. B. L. B. H. P. O. H T. C.

DIFFICULTLY penetrable evil yet otershadows a vast magnitude of human import. Tenacious tendencies to progress have been creditable already in evolutions that are utilizing and pol- ishing a newer era. Concentration of inquiry has appropriately and loyally devoted itself to inviting sources of the unrevealed and rendered signal 'results of an exalted kind to contemporaneous and successsive bet- terment. Avenues novel and amazing in their unique fitness solicit patronage of the fields of avocation toward which they point. They possess a surprisingly flattering appearance, and it is not with ease that their indication of the status of a later day is interpreted, or, at least, the unusual degree of superiority along certain lines might suggest question as to its ominous benignity and recall the similarity of precedents to decline. But apparent prosperity does not as an unexcepted rule of nature con- clude in imprudence and indulgence sufficient in their recklessness to spoil the effect of the glory attained. Impulsive greed to devour the full fruit of achievement IIO in unsuspecting hours of degeneracy we may confide to be offset by reliable reaction and steadiness of purpose that refuse the seductions, so oft ill-proved, that lurk in the under lying secrets of waning prestige. Favorable comparison, however, apart from intrinsic merit, but poorly justifies exultation. Light differences and seeming improvement should not afford congratula- tion upon more than a beginning with nice prospects, but that need guarding well in order to the yielding prosecu- tion of their ends. Estimated of itself, nothing more convincingly discloses its dearth and inadequacy than the meagre conception upon which the affairs and aims of life are so delicately hinged. Upon a presumption of a destiny commensurate in important respects to the ultimate of properly cultivated and directed powers, the infancy of humanity's entrance into its own sphere is strikingly evident. The day of rernunerative investiga- tion in the realm of relevant truths has proceeded no further than its dawn, and searching rays but gradually dissipate the shades that obscure the pertinent factors in gf il ,wa-'I ,5 5556 1 ui personal or collective prosperity. XVithin, strongly en- deavoring to manifest itself, there inheres still the recti- fying truth conditioning upon its assertion a relief of obstruction in the path of general elevation. Reason aml fallacy prolong an incessant and severe contlict. Its more essential accomplislnnent evades the strewings of unappeased mankind than a thorough and searching digest ofhis own station in the universe, a well defined realization that will complete the partial view. The integrals of nature are all worthy in their sphere, are uniquely complementary in their respective functions, and the denial of any or the encroaclnnent of one upon the other invariably occasions abnormality. lint a peculiar conspicuousness of the ever-present physical, with its qualities all displayed, and extending upon no deeper 1'CtllllSll.C than mere possession, its entire capacity to allay the casual desire, suflices to attach an undue prominence that usurps the rightful precedence of more emluring parts. Of interest aml import, indeed, must the material be admitted, a real aml logical means to an end. Its chaiiels for the mixture of the undeveloped, a dwelling place and useful agency for service to higher powers render it splendidly appreciable. In an exponential garb, conveying through its profounder depths an enchanting intiniation of sublime source and content, the enlightened view with a fullness of joy surveys it. As a sequestered abode of a high, concealed inherence. when posing in the sweet fragrance of nature. its beauty tinged with the perfecting shade of a positive place among real entities, its merit to engage is exalted above its usually acknowledged own. Thus contem- plated, its intrinsic relents to an estimable ollice of medis ator through which. immediate infatuation suspended, the gleam ofsubstantial allurement is propagated to the attentive participant in its observation. Not in such a mood either of the materialistic or of man is then present the deceptive form so wide-prevalent aml serious in the damage it incurs. lint mutilated or embellished as the east- may lie, presumed to be possessed of farsreaching possibilities arising from blind aceeptation rather than belief, a mean aml destrnetible fraily intrndes with mons strous sagacity upon the controlling centre and deter- mining objects ofa destiny. A vision with an elegance ofsusceptability that would esteem the reality of a uni verse is dwarfed tu the puerile levity ofa miniature, that holding but a seantily magnilied surface, are subserved by a soul that contents in its ignoring depravity. Physi- cal ambition, physical attainment, physical enjoyment clouding the horizon amid the qniekeniug profferings of pure aml enduring truth, are constituting themselves the nucleus around which revolves the preponderence of human activity. If in the manifestations of animated nature there ex- ists a distinction real in its character, it must reside somewhere in the unseen. Visible differences assure of nothing beyond degree of contrast in the stages of vari- able capacities that resemble closely enough to prohibit an absolute separation when the point of material origin and kind is in dispute. It is truly to be feared. that in many instances the practical demonstration of the reality does not transcend the regions of fancy, and too sorely has this retarded commendable advance on the part of inouldered generations. Too lightly have men been wont to regard the almost unsearchable content of their being, the defining ingredients capable to give force and depth to the whole, whose careful shaping resolves into sym- metrical forms. 'Tis an unmistakable entity, but delicate and modest, a germ of immense prospective vitality yet refusing the coveted fruition except in event of its primary recognition and a subserviency, moderate at least, to the requisitions of its cultivation. The rare afiiuence through whose emanating spirit of modernness the process of intellectual equipment is supplied with all its essentials, should trans- form ours into a new clime, and encourage that hindered observation is an immediate precursor of closer intro- spective scenting. To arouse from the stupor that pre- cludes a consciousness of powerful latency, that stultifies with its blind indulgence the few redeeming traits that justify earthly existence, is the problem that vexes the enlightenment and reflection of our day. Viewed in a sense of its chimerical achievement. persistent courage would hope in the grip of despair, but a firm conviction of the prospective reward is an abundant fount of assur- II2 ing inspiration. Wheii rising above the exclusive em- ployment of the most intricate and productive element in his being for the mere acquisition of the evanescent that appeals momentarily to the darkened self, when it shall be deemed gross imprudence to ignore in leisure hours the embodiment of worth while mastering suprem- acy isdelegated to a capacity only able to disperse beneficent opportunities, the assumption of its own will be recorded as an advanced step in humanity's favor. The mechanical application of thinking instrumentality as the means to obtain the ford of necessity or of grovel- ling greed and there dispensed with, is an abuse ruinous and degrading, that affects amazingly to the blockade of regenerating progress. Not until precedence positive and undisputed is rendered in full to the distinguishing integral in the nature of man will the boasted distinction become an actual objective and the frown upon the mundane be excused of its author. Intellectuality for intellectuality's sake, cultured into a longing for mingling fellowship with its kindred, the whence of true delight where it exists not else, the sober force ruling with the earnestness of passion that insists upon its own and subordinates the lesser material, proclaims itself the primary requisite to the inhabitance in a sphere that ap- proaches the approving smile of responsibility. Unimpeded in the inclination that precedes the selec- tion among alternatives of action, the illustration of motive discloses the personal concept of resultant happi- ness.

He read much and familiarized himself with the philosophy of all ages, yet it seemed to him that he had but progressed in a conf trary direction to his desires, He had almost convinced himself that love is but a fantastic delusion-a snare into which men of meagre minds, as well as men of II genius, had pitifully fallen-an enigma that has puzzled the intellect of the most profound thinkers of all time. He deduced from philosophical writings that the mind of man yearns naturally toward the unattainable, that it loves to cherish idealism, that it is willing to be lured on by the phantas magoric vision of an ideal love. that for the sake of happiness it wilfully pleasing, fleeting illusion.

And now, being acquainted with the sentiments, de- sires, and amhitions of Rudolph Barton, we will follow him in the course he has planned for himself, aml will assume him to have just entered upon his year old seclu- sion and study. Cease writing, thus commanded Rudolph Ilarton. In a small hut comfortable room, uncarpted, aml un adorned save for a few pictures and curios, he strode up and down, deeply occupied in thought. The secretary had, in ohedience, ceased his writing, aml toyed mechan- ically with his pen, waiting as though expecting his mas ter to say or do something llarton was silent for a moment aml then said, Cecil, have you ever divim-d the cause of my coming' to this place? Ilid you ever speculate as to why I am secluded thus- apart lirom all men save you and my two servants? Iiolcl aml seal the letters you have written aml I will tell you. The sec- retary did as he was hid, aml listened as Rudolph ex- plained at length the causes which prompted him to shun the society olithe world. I intend, in addition to my study, to engage myselt' in writing a work on philosophy. My views on that subject are peculiar, and, I think, rare. hut I think they will prove ot' inestimalile henelit to those who read aml properly appreciate them. Bly philosophy shall he the philosophy ol' love, aml I shall require your aid in the compilation of the work. Ah, sir, replied Cecil, you may expect hut little aid from me. My ex- I perience has heen limited. and I could not hope to assist you materially in a work that requires a deeper hrain aml a more ahumlant liund of ideas than I possess. Never- theless, your will is mine, aml I shall try. Yery gimtlai rejoined Rudolph Barton. you may leave me now. I wish to lie alone. .-Ks Cecil lelit the room. Rudolph walked over to the open window aml stood look- ing out upon the wild, grand. mountain scenery, hut thoughts ot' the rocky landscape did not occupy his mind. Am I a deluded fool that I should do this ? he solilotpiized. No, it cannot he. I would discover truth. aml the knowledgethat it isa connnendalile under taking will soothe aml solace me in my restless, anxious moments. I shall endeavor to determine whether man shall accept as his proper monitor and guide his heart or his lirainf' So saying. he turned aml sat down in the chair, his secretarv had lelt aml was soon in communion with Ilythagoras aml l'lato. liigtht months of Rudolph llarton's hernnt lile had passed. Ile had completed his liook on the philosophy . ,. ., of love, and under the name ol Ileart vs. Nlind he had pulilished it. .Xlthough not widely read. the hook had received several favoralile criticisms from learned men, aml the noveltv ot' the ideas cmliodied in the work, together with the clear logical reasoning from cause to ct-It-ct, lirought him into closer sympathy with philosophi- cal thinkers, and he came to lie regarded as an astute disseminator of ethical truth. In his book he reasoned that in humanity the mind is dominant over the heart, that, knowing this, man should school himself so that the heart's dictates can be no longer felt or used, and that the mind alone should be the governor of the soul. We may see clearly that such reasoning is in direct oppo- sition to any idea of the existence of true love, and Rudolph Barton felt that it existed only in name. How- everf, said he, I will follow out the course I have planned, for, although I am at present convinced that there is no love, yet whose opinions are so strong that they may not be changed? Perhapsf, he added, with a cynical laugh, some day I may ind myself in love. Who knows? UNO, no, master, you can never love. 'What natural love instinct there may have been within your heart you have killed, and I feel that your succeed- ing years will be miserable, inasmuch as you have denied yourself its comforts and its attendant joy, interposed Cecil. f'Comforts-attendant joy! Bah! You talk like a woman, or a man of weak mind. Be strong. Steel yourself against such a demoralizing .delusion as the much-vaunted and high-blown love. Take a pipe and be easyf' Rudolph handed the secretary a pipe, filled and lit his own of meerschaum, and by the light of the warm wood ire, the two smoked in silence. The tobacco fumes seemed to exert a peculiar soothing influence on them both, and for an hour or more neither spoke. The thoughts of these two men differed as Widely 1 1 l I F 120 as their natures, in the one we see an unsatished, inquir- ing mind, and an uneasy, unhappy nature,-in the other a contented, quiet disposition, Na mind accepting unques- tioningly existing conditions as they are. Rudolph, between puffs of smoke, gazed long and thoughtfully into the bright, glowing embers, while now and then a frown broke the calm, sad expression of his features. Cecil's face bore an expression indicative of the contentment and indifference he felt. Thus they sat there-each occupied with his thoughts, each absorbed in the contemplation of his life's work and mission, each considering the extent of his worth to the world. 4' Cecilf' said Rudolph Barton after a while, have you heard any more concern- ing the popularity and success of my philosophical treatise P, What did you learn with regard to it while in the metropolis? Sir,'l replied the secretary, your name is becoming well known. The world is beginning to regard you as a cynical genius. Some say you have been disappointed in life and are at variance with the World. Others hazard the opinion that you are insane, and that your work is but the fanciful creation of a diseased imagination. None except your friends know your life's historyf' After a short pause, Rudolph said: H Yes, my dear Cecil, I believe it is true that I am gain- ing notoriety, not to say fame. I have an idea. As you know, I shall leave this place very soon, within the next three or four months. 'When I rejoin society, it must be under a different name. Cecil, can I trust you P ' and Y ' 'i M Y --.. -R A ' L i THE TWO SNIQHED he leaned anxiously toward the secretary. Trust nie? Sir, you can, and with your life. I believe you, Cecil. Wliat I have to ask is this. You must never betray that I am the author of that book. The world must never know that Rudolph Arnold Cfor that is my new namel is the author of opinions considered so extra- ordinary. Wlieii convenient to me, I will reveal it. But why, master, do you not wish to claim the credit or discredit of the work?l' inquired the secretary. I will explain, replied Rudolph, you see, I am devoting my life to one great experiment and if I fail in its trial my life's work counts for naught. As you know, I would prove or disprove the existence of true love. We1'e the secret of the authorship of Heart vs. Mind to become known, it would not be as easy for me to pro- ceed in my undertaking. I must be fair in my trial and just in my decision. So far, I am of the opinion that there is no true love. VVhen I am with men again, I do not want them to know my convictions and opinions. I must be one of them in every way. I may inadvertently betray myself, but I shall guard against it. Therefore, I wish you to help me conceal the fact that I am the author of the bookf, As you say, sir, I will do it, replied Cecil. Very good, and now. Cecil, I wish to be awakened at an early hour to-morrow morning. I intend to walk, for I am sadly in need of exercise, and, he con- tinued, as he lighted a lamp and by its pale rays surveyed himself in a mirror, I feel my confinement is beginning 122 to tell on me. I am not the same Rudolph Barton of a year ago. However, I almost feel that I would sacri- fice myself to solve the problem which has been absorb- ing my attention during my life. Well, Cecil, I will not detain you longer. It is late and you may wish to write a long letter to your sweetheart before you retire. 'Well, the best of luck to you and your afjfazbfe de mmf. Good night-good night, old friend. Cecil took the lamp with him and left the room, leaving his master with no light save that given out by the cheerful log-fire. Rudolph sat still and mused for a few moments, then removed his coat and vest, and reclined at full length on a lounge. His wearied mind demanded rest, and like a tired, fretful child he fell asleep, and knew no more until roused by the voice of his secretary the following morn- ing at daybreak. Rudolph Barton gazed abroad upon nature resplend- ent in her verdant loveliness. Spring had come upon the earth. The budding flowers, the balmy, zephrons air, the green fields, and the sweet songs of gayiy colored birds were the evidences of the visit. As Rudolph wan- dered out over this expanse of rich, glorious beauty, he questioned himself as to his cynicism and misanthropy. O why is it that I am thus apart and separate from other men? Why am I out ofsympathy with nature and nature's God? Why can I not appreciate the beauties and blessings of creation? A vague, unsatisfied long- ing came over him. He sighed and wandered on to what 1 l he called his lrermitage. His face wore a trouhled look, and he felt indeed a sell-condernrred outcast. I believe I can love God and his creations-all-all except men- lrunranity in general. XXIIIII the exception of a few nror- tals, I cannot help hut hate them: perhaps in this I am justified-perlraps not.

I Ire nrzrrorrtv ol the pf-oplr who knew him suspected lrinr nl! it. and Ire alrarrdoned the idea of changing his surname. Contrary to his anticipa- tions, it made him an idol among intellectual people, and he was feted in the gay society of the metropolis. But for l1is good, common sense, he would have no doubt become intoxicated by worldly applause. tHis light, airy surroundings made pleasant contrast to his monkish life of the year previous, and he thoroughly enjoyed the diversions of a society as corrupt as it was insincere. He met individuals of all tastes and temperaments, men of note and intellect, women of beauty and grace. He endeavored to choose from among these a wife. He was true to his principles inasmuch as he was discriminating. At first he was sanguine enough to suppose that he could find an ideal woman, but finally became convinced that ideality is to be found in neither man nor woman. I shall search out the woman in whom is most nearly approximated perfection, he said, if I could but find a combination of the good traits and qualities I have observed separately in a dozen or more different women, perhaps I could love her-perhaps not. Having satisfied myself that I must take the best I can find, and not expect perfection, I will do it. Having found her, I will state my conditions. I shall not require her to say that she loves me, for I would not compel a lie from anyone. I think, in this matter, my task is a difficult one, but despite existing drawbacks and obstacles, I will-I must -succeedf, Here he took up a copy of his book, and read the following which he had scribbled on the fly-leaf 12 l l 5 I 4 a few months previously: In lhe jmfsail W' my !zfe's olyeez' I will spare no eyjforts.

Unless I solve thisproblem one way or the other, in the allotted time, I shall be indeed miserable. I am hxed in my deter- mination-I will succeed 1 Rudolph Barton sat with Christine Blair. Their acquaintance extended over a period of one year. In her, Rudolph found several qualities that commanded his admiration, but the idea of love for her he did not entertain. If I have a heart, O Christine, I am sure it would be touched by you. Your charms and personality have touched-aye, chained the hearts of more worthy men than I. Is it that I iam different from them P But withal, Christine, I admire you. And he riveted his cold, penetrating gray eyes upon hers, and they regarded each other interestedly for several moments. I-Ier thoughtful look changed to one of mingled vexation and reproach. This was 11ot the way she would have him woo her. She loved him-she knew it, and the thought that he could never love her seemed to rend her very iident that ere the four years of trial had elapsed he would have grown to love her, and she answered yes. It is well, Christine. Though I will treat you most kindly, affection I can never promise you. Some day I may, though 3 who can say? It is not my will that we shall be wedded amid the pomp and ceremony of the world, but rather would I wish to be united in simplicity, with- out grandeur and empty form. I have no religion but the religion of universal brotherhood, but I fear the con- summation and perfection of this religion is impossible g it has been so with me. And yet it seems the most plausible of all beliefs, and if I question that, what am I to believe? I' O Rudolph, talk not so 3 everything in nature is religion-your experience must have taught you that. Her words brought back to him the memory of the walk he took on the bright spring day afew months previous-the day he faltered-wavered, between belief and infidelity. A groan escaped his lips and he said, H Christine, my experience has shown me nothing. It is balanced, and its results incline in favor of neither Heaven nor the devil. I know nothing-fear nothing' But, Rudolph, surely you will get over this morbid, miserable indifference. I know you will-you mustf For a few moments neither spoke, then Rudolph said, 'K Christine, I sincerely wish I were not constituted thus. The cravings of my mind must be satisfied, and I am de- voting my life to their satisfaction. You say you are willing to teach me love. If you can, I shall be glad. 3 D What say you to repairing to the cloister of the good Abbot Paul? It is close to midnight, and the sooner we are united in wedlock, the betterf, O Rudolph, we can well postpone it until some more opportune time. But still the unsatisfied craving in Rudolph Barton's mind tormented him+-he fancied that his marriage was but one step nearer the goal he would reach, and the sooner over, the better. No, Christine, we must be united as soon as possible. Your love-writers would tell me that love is an impatient thing, yet you do not seem impatient. Come with me as you are. We will no doubt interrupt the good Abbott in his midnight mass, but it must be sof' Hegtook her hand-they walked on through the deserted streets of the slumbering city, to the cathedral which reared its monster form silhouette- like against the moonlit sky. A single light gleamed from one of the long, narrow windows. They entered. X Pls PK :li Elf ill The sweet chant of the Abbott, as he intoned the Words, Whoflz God hazfh j0z'7zca', fm' 110 mam pu! czsmzdc1', 3' rang in the ears of Rudolph Barton, and the memory im- pressed itself upon him. The married life of Rudolph and Christine was not extraordinary 5 it pursued its usual peaceful, methodical course almost through the allotted period of four years, and yet Rudolph had not made his decision. Christine always insisted and endeavored to prove to him that her holy lustre to the pale face upon the couch, which, though thin and drawn from illness, still retains the witchery of by-gone days. Rudolph takes a candle, and by its light reads from his book-he sees again his oath upon the Hy leaf, and looks at his watch. It is half-past eleven o'clock of the last day of the fourth year and no decision has been made. He nerves himself for the effort and determines that he will decide. Christine, Chris- tine,', he calls softly. You must awaken, and listen to me. Christine., Christine. She opens her eyes and regards him thoughtfully for a moment and smiles sadly. O, Rudolph, did you call? What is it, dear?A', But Rudolph could not speak. He felt sadness such as his soul had never known. Before him, still beautiiul in her agony and pain, lay the woman-the only woman who had ever said she loved him--the woman who had shown love's heroism by marrying him knowing that, to satisfy his caprice, he might cast her aside in defiance to the will of Almighty God! She closed her eyes and breathed softly. Rudolph, she murmured, I am sinking. I cannot be with you much longer. Tell me -tell n1e, if this is to be my last hour upon earth, make it my happiest by the knowledge that you love me-tell me, Rudolph, tell mef' He gazed upon the pale, up- turned face that cast upon him a look of dumb, despair- 2 ing pleading-of heart-rending anguish. He leaned for- ward and took her little white hand in his. She tried to speak again. In vain the white lips moved in a faint effort to utter the words of her heart, and she opened her eyes again. Their beautiful lustre was fading slowly- surely. Rudolph would have spoken but he could not. His thoughts came crowding quickly through his brain. O my mind, tell me-tell me, do I love this woman? O God--I cannot-I dare not ask my heart. I have killed its impulses, I have thwarted and benumbed its instincts-I have turned it to ice. O my soul, tell me, tell me! The candle burned low with an unsteady, flickering flame. The life of the woman was silently ebbing to its close, and as the candle left the two in darknesshlher soul winged its flight to a better land. O. the unspeakable anguish of the moment! O, that she would speak to him, if only once again ! But no, it is too late, too latc I He fell forward on his knees at the bedside, and covered his face with his hands. In the distance sounded the dull stroke of midnight-the four years were gone-the decision made. The bursting of his heart told him more plainly and convincingly than all philosophy--all reasoning--all the dictates of his mind, that he had loved, and loved her well. FW i E S She GIH5665.

JHOU gia11t tree, whose hollow trunk, to foul f' Decay a prey, now stands an empty shell, A mere suggestion of thy former might,- Yet even now, when time's fierce tempests have In vain their force expended round thy head, Still standest thou, a mighty sentinel, Our pride, our boast, our college friend. Oh, could some mighty hand, Endowed with power divine, give utterance Unto thy being, then while zephyrs mild Among thy branches played, could'st thou regale The listening ear with many a tale of long- Forgotten lore 3 and scenes which live and move In history alone could'st thou relate With that fresh spark of life which animates Recitals of experience. Yea, i11 words Of living truth might'st thou describe how once The dusky native of our fatherland A Did underneath thy spreading branches meet, And with his pale-faced brother form A truce of lasting friendship g then could'st thou Of wars and conflicts tell, in contrast great To this serener picture g then, perchance, In accents mild, and in a manner sweet I And soothing to the care-beladen soul, Thy memory wou1d'st portray a lowly scene, Of men, who, drawn by thy protecting shade, And seeing in thy verdant foliage And stalwart trunk the great Creator's hand, Have dressed in deep humiliation's garb, And meekly bowed before Almighty God, And worshiped g then, indeed, could'st thou depict The progress of the ages, and enlarge The growing page of history. But, alas! 'Tis not thy mission thus to speak, and teach Men useful knowledge, thy domain is but To live, and in thy living make one mute, Though lingering appeal, that men may look Upon thy peaceful form, and see therein The lessons God has taught them. Mutely thus Thou speakest : Sons of men, behold, I stand, As I have done for ages. Years ago The bloom of life had faded from these boughs, And rottenness had seized this sturdy trunk Q But then, in this mine hour of darkest gloom, Some urchins, mischievously bent, ignite This frame with powder, and the hungry flames Seem likely to devour me 5 but itwas Not destined to be thus. The Flames are quenched, And lo I the glow of youth returns to me, My roots take firmer hold on Mother Earth, A And vigor grasps my whole existence. Then 'Twas seen, the threatening fire had but consumed The hindrance to my progress. So with thee, Oh, man ! permittest thou the dross to be Commingled with the gold, thy soul grows ill And soon would die but for the cleansing fire. Again I say, be helpful. As I lend My rugged strength to succor- and support The clinging vine, so proffer thy strong arm And elevate thy weaker brother. But, Alas, my doom is pending! Some swift gale This empty trunk around, may hurl it to Destruction. Thou, too, man, must surely die Q But ere thou enterest thy final sleep, Take heed, be ready, and to thee shalt be A heaven and a blest eternity. Farewell, thou noble Poplar Tree l Each rising sun but hastens our advent I Upon the stage of life, when we must leave Thee, Poplar. Yea, how soon 5 but sun ne'er shed A brighter glow in human heart than doth Thine image, Poplar: and although decades Have rolled away, and Fortune kind allot To us position with the foremost, still Unquenched will be the spark of love which draws May through these branches sweep, and twisting swift Us to thee, Poplar. 1 the Elncient Sree.

E rolled over in his bed and breathing forth a sigh of perfect content and bliss, opened his eyes, and looked out upon the damp, chill morn. The sparrows, noisy harbingers of dawn, were twitterin g forth soft sweet notes, and fluttering from twig to twig of the green ivy which, covering the house on all sides, both afforded shelter to all these little fel- lows and also gave the building a quaint, antiquated look, very charming to lovers of things almost gone to decay with venerable old age. Maurice, too, felt the rejuvenating influence of rising Phoebus and, as that old orb rolled up on his etherial course across the heavens, he sprang from his downy couch, turned on the steam and leisurely arranged his toilet. Maurice Went to the window and examined the sky for prospects of a clear day. The rising sun just at that moment burst forth from purple clouds, which, separat- ing, sailed off in grotesque shapes, and Rosy Morn with hands of fire unbarred the gates of lightff A cold, piercing wind seemed to enter every nook and cranny, All seemed cold and drear. The sun him- self seemed frosted and his glory overshadowed. I Maurice looked and beheld a woman, pale and wan, and worn, and scantily clad, picked piece by piece the half-burned coals from an ash barrel 3 ever and anon rest- ing from her wearisome labor to press her hand to her breast and cough a short hacking cough-a cough such as only the most weak give forth. V, The wind, often catching her skirts, would have great sport for a while, and then, dying out, would hurry on in the distance to blow stray paper or leaves, or per- chance to aid some other poor sufferer one step nearer the final resting place. But truly has it been said There is no rest for the weary. The poor woman picks on, only stopping to cough, or rest her numb fingers, while buzzards, flying on smooth wing, creen to the wind or hover momentarily over some spot. A q The whole scene touched Maurice's heart. He pit- ied this woman, but after all, he wondered if this poor forlorn creature might not be happier than he, for he was not one of those dreamers who simply bless their stars and call it happiness. Perhaps she had a little boy at home, whom she loved, and hoped and worked for. Per- haps she had an ill husband whose very smile was her only happiness. At least she had someone to love, something to care for, something other than self to live for. She realized this great boon of loving and therein was happy. Was Maurice as noble as she, did he ever do any- thing because it was right, did he remember the precepts of his far-distant mother--that mother who did every- thing for him and only asked love in return, did he fol- low her desires, did he try to make her lite bright through him, did he realize that a mother's only pleasure is in the success of her son ? or was he selhsh and inconsiderate? did he spend her hard-saved money for improper things? did he waste his opportunities? neglect his lessons? and render useless, and even injurious, all the selfesacriiicing indulgence of that dear mother? Hecould not answer these questions, but he felt a great longing to be better, to be a man in the noblest sense of the word. His idea was confused, he could not dehne his desire except by this one all-inclusive word- man, but as he turned away with tear-stained cheek let us hope that a nobler nature came to walk this world and bless it. I cm EATED in my easy rocker I In my roon1 in Pinkney Hall, Hearkening to the noisy Freshmen, As they quite aloud did bawl, Clamoring loud against their classmates, Since they would not dare to skip, Greatly grieved because their fellows Failed to get the well-earned zip, Ideas, fraught with dreamy fancies, Through my idle brain did run, As I thought of wondrous progress XVidening with each rising sun. Thought I of great inconvenience XVhich our forefathers endured, Seeming not to them like hardship, Since to that they were innured. Then I thought how much more easy Is the common lot to-day, And how very thankful We should All be, this truth to convey. llbrogress of H G6l1flll'Qf I General ideas turned to special, Old St. john's 11ow comes to mind: Thought I, did our grand alumni All this easy comfort iind? Had they, when they trod these precincts, Training for the body, brain, Such as now the student finds it Under 'I'ommie'S peaceful reign? As I mused, my senses wandered 3 Sweet oblivion's gentle grasp Quietly laid hold upon me,-'- Sensibility was past. Then, behold I into my dreaming Crept a being odd and queer Q Hoary headed, tall and stately Did this wondrous sage appear. Powdered wig and ruflied collar, Breeches cut short at the knees, Silken stockings, buckled slippers I Saw you ever aught like these? 139 Timidly I looked about me, Scarcely knowing what to do 5 Then, divining my forebodings, Did he this queer course pursue : Drawing up a chair beside me, To my wonder and affright, Cooly turned he round towards me, Poor, forlorn, unhappy Wight I Hem, said he, I don't know whether You are heartless or insane Q Can't you see I'm very harmless? Now your own conduct explain? O, said I, please dont be angry, You are very welcome here 5 But of such outlandish attire Did I never even hear.

Many suns have shed their radiance Over hill and moorland plain, Since from these old walls I issued, Never to return again. Life's great battles have engaged me, Fame has saved for me her part g Yet whatever Fortune tendered, Dear St. john's lay next my heart. Now I've come to pay a visit, And I really want to know What improvements have been rendered In this hundred years or so. Friend, said I, I crave your pardon For my lack of confidence g I'm delighted to have met you- Come, welll see the sights at once. Out we went across the campus g The battalion was in line ! Every eye fixed firmly forward 3 Bayonetsi and sabres shine. What, cried he, means all this splendor? Surely they can't soldiers bei! Whoe'er saw such pomp and glory As we now before us see? I once had my band of freemen, Whom in Freedom's cause I lead, When cruel warls harsh, direful thunder Rolled around our nation's head g When Great Britain seized our seamen, Forced them into British ships 5 When 'To Freedom, on to Freedom ' Was the cry upon our lips. But, said he, U how times have altered! Then each had an old fiint-lock, Taking fully forty mules to ' Draw the hammer to a cock. I4Q But, alas! there's no use sighing O'er discomforts now no more g So welll think of nothing farther On the military score. Then we left the green parade ground To the shop our way we led, From which issued noise sudicient To awake the very dead. When at length the door we opened- Who'll describe the sight we saw? My companion stared one moment, Then let forth a loud guifaw. It was not the forge and anvil, Nor the open furnace door, Nor the lathe in rapid motion, That had caused my friend to roar 3 It was just a class of Freshmen Clad in U jeans H and outing shirt Who were learning their first lesson- How to gather up the dirt. And, indeed they had it mastered ! But instead of in the place Where such articles are gathered, They had massed it on their face. But at length my friend grew calmer ' Grimy Freshmen are forgot, To investigate that power Tamed and bridled by james YVatt. 7 'Twas the engine caught his notice, And at his request I tried To explain this hidden wonder XVhich our shop with power supplied. Then I told how james, poor laddie, In his fan1ily's humble fold, Saw the kettle's cover raising By a power uncontrolled: How this simple truth the Scotchman Did with zealous ardor seize 5 For he saw in captive vapor NVondrous possibilities : How he then applied his genius, And how mighty his success, For the principles unfolded Now connect both East and West. Is it possible, rejoined he, That a common thing like steam Could have wrought such striking marvels ? Or is this a fleeting dream P 'Tis a fact, quoth I, not fiction - But we could not tarry there Q So at once We make our exit, To the foot-ball field repair. It was just about the hour When the iirst line-up was made, And we saw the brawny players All in uniforms arrayed. Hark ! the starting whistle sounded g Now the pigskin whirls in air l Then those twenty-two trained athletes After it began to tear. 141 In a state of great excitement William scanned the foot-ball ground, And at length when Douglas, half-back, Having caught the ball, was downed. And when one and twenty others Fell o11 him, a screeching pile, And wh en downl he cried, said Pinkney Down, indeed ! Well, I should smile! But do tell me, what's this rumpus O'er that yellow leather egg? From their actions, one might venture That they just had oped a keg. Nay, said I, that's so-called foot-ball g H 'Tis a pseudonym, he said : Not a thing is done by foot-work, But by butting with the head. After that I grew discouraged, Trying to describe the game g So I showed him a bicycle Which into the grounds then came. , ' -V E I , :,,,,,, ,-. But by far the oddest vision Which my friend thus far had had,- Sitting on this shiny charger, Was a girl in bloomers clad. t Hey, What's that? he cried in terror, While my arm he firmly seized,- That thing there, that has a motion Like a streak oflightning greased ! That's a ' bike,' quoth I, in laughter, And the occupantis a girl g W Ah ! sighed he, H I comprehend not, For my brain is in a whirl. Once I loved Annapolis maidens: Thought them virtuous and fair, But, alas ! if this we judge by, Such have grown exceeding rare. Hence, to soothe his rufflled feelings, I escort him to the Hall, Where, as Winter was approaching, Old Jack Frost H had made a call. Then, to drive out the intruder, I reached down, and turned on heat: With a rush the steam ascended, Warming us from head to feet. Stared the stranger, burst out grinning' That is something queer, I Ween g Heat abundant in a moment, Nor can spark or flame be seen. Then I turned a rubber button. See, how dazzling to the sight! What's that, magic ? quoth the stranger g Answered I, electric light. Zounds I precisely at this moment, Ere another word was said, Some sly classmate, book upraising, Let it light upon my head. 'Twas a light entirely different From the incandescent sort, But my dream was not all fiction,- Please admit that, I exhort. 142 MQRAL.

IGI-IN,VS, 'December 14, 1893. Mv DARLING MOTHER 1- Last Wednesday night the Royal Order put me through, in other words hazed me. The freshmen had long before learned their intentions, so we, though unprepared, were not taken by surprise. Before retiring I lock the door securely, brace it with bed slats and quietly await the arrival of a lot of country clodhops who compose the sophomore class, and whom I expect to haze my very fresh room mate. Pres- ently we hear an indistinct murmur which gradually increases to a deafening roar as the Devils come rush- ing up three flights of stairs 5 they stop at the other end of the hall, one moment of awful suspense, and on they come with an impetuous rush that nothing can with- stand. A knock loud and long, shaking' the panels of my door, reverberates down the corridors. No answer. Now bed-slats begin to play on the door, and ever and anon some foot-ball player casts himself against the barrier. It shakes, it creaks, it splinters into pieces and with the fragments there bursts into the room a crowd of masked, I hideous and fiery fiends, who would stop at nothing because it might be low, cowardly, base. Arise! Arise! the cry goes up, And come with us say they. Une glance at the hellish crowd suiiicesg one glance proves th-at resistance is useless, so up I get from my warm little bed and 'mid the chilling blast of night march to the hazing room, determined to take fun good naturedly, but equally determined to resist should blows begin to fall thick and fast as lightning from the moun- tain cloud. ' The room previously prepared for the purpose was most appropriate for such proceedings. At a distance from all professors any ineanness could have been enacted there, and no yell of pain, anguish or despair could have reached the ear of any pitying passer-by or our beloved profs. The door is closed. Disrobe thyselff' comes the command from the flllgk-6'0Ck-6Zf07'Zt7iZ of the band, and then my clothes are taken from on my back, and all behold a poor shivering form standing there in anxiety awaiting an issue about an affair of serious moment to himself. The frescoers, commanded to begin their work, they paint my body to represent a tiger fresh from the Indian jungle. This was not a difficult task. Mount the table and singa song: be quick there ! H hang H bang E goes slat after slat upon all my slatable parts. This puts much energy in my bones g much blood in my skin. XYith great activity a nude body shoots into the air, and alighting on a table with great alacrity com- mences to sing : Mary had a little lamb Its fleece was white as snow? Next I chase a smile around the table, write my name on the wall with my nose, climb the wall and per- form other feats of agility too numerous to mention. Finally a cent is put in a bowl full of icy water and I am commanded to root out the penny with my nose. I confidently dive in, make one hasty thrust, take out my head, and there-there in the bottom of the bowl quietly rests the obstinate coin. Qnce more I attempt to root it out. Slowly gauging its position, I place my nose firmly upon itg gently, little by little, inch by inch, it comes to the rim and finally is cast way to the middle of the room. I I am dismissed. I go to my room where Willie boy washes the filthy paint away and again I go to bed to enjoy a good night's rest, in the satisfaction that my haz- ing is over. I YoUR DARLING SoN.

T XV.-XS a bright morning in early November. I had started out immediately after breakfast for a tramp across the country, taking with me gun and dog, in the prospect of seeing game. I had met with my usual ill success at gunning, but Was not in the least dis- heartened. The reason will be apparent to all lovers of nature. I inhaled with exuberant spirits the clear, blue air. cool and crisp with the frostg and the rugged scenery of the country through which I was passing made me oblivious to the discomforts of jumping branches, climb- ing fences and forcing my way through tangled briars. In fact. I did not care much Whether game was abundant or scarce, as I had plenty to occupy my attention and to prevent me from becoming weary. I found pleasure in the rustling of the forest leaves and the tinkling of covv- bells in a distant meadow g and then I enjoyed Watching the frisl-:ing of the small birds and squirrels among the branches of a gigantic oak. Vnder such circumstances as these, with nature at her best, I could easily imagine the sentiment which prompted Cowper to sigh, O, for a lodge in 501116 vast I Wilderness! But there was more yet to be seen. I soon arrived at a spot which, for its picturesque scenery as Well as for the signs of desolation and desertion exist- ing there, might well have been sufficient to inspire a Goldsmith to write his Deserted Village. I sat upon the fence-top in order more fully to absorb the scene. I was on a hill overlooking a narrow, irregular valley, hemnied in on all sides by a thick belt of Woodland. What once might have been a prosperous farm was be- fore my eyes, but it was novv naught but ruin and deso- lation. Coarse weeds, waist high, had taken the place of the golden Wheat and corn, and briars with their sharp thorns clutched at the passer-by, and seemed to warn the intruder from the sacred sight of the old home- stead. The barn was now simply a pile of rotted logs fallen upon its stone foundation, and of the house scarcely a vestige was left save a dilapidated portion of the stone chimney. Down the hill from the house was a rippling brooklet, issuing from a spring beneath the roots of an enormous maple, and there Was also a slight trace of a Wagon road leading in the direction of the public thor- .if ii i s fi Wt li oughfare. There was not even a sound of life, save the whistling of birds and the barking of squirrels in the woods, with the silence broken now and then by the loud cawing of crows flying overhead. I permitted the dog to wander where he would, and sat for a long time musing, when at length I heard a rus- tling among the leaves, and then I espied on my left the sparrows along abroken-down fence ily away, as if fright- ened by the approach of something or someone, and it was not long before I saw emerge into View among the tall weeds a little old man, who seemed to have a pecu- liar interest in the scenes I had been enjoying. The iiight of time had left its traces in the furrowed, care- worn Visage of the stranger, and he sadly shook his head, as if from the force of peculiar experiences, or at least, strange recollections grouped about this hallowed spot. I He had not yet noticed me, but as soon as he heard my dog thrashing about in the underbrush, he looked up as if startled. This expression, however, was only mo- mentary, and as soon as he saw me his cheery f'Good morning l caused me to feel that whatever of care or sorrow had left its sting upon his life, he yet possessed the most kindly feelings towards his fellow men. I ap- proached him, and after a little preliminary talk, our conversation turned to the panorama spread out before us. I was rejoiced to find that he was not only willing to talk upon the subject, but as might be surmised from his mysterious head-shaking, he was also possessed of 150 an accurate knowledge of the circumstances which had transformed the old homestead into an utter wilderness. Said he, H I love to wander about this site, for every breath I breathe upon these dreary hills seems to be laden with recollections from the history of a sad and misspent life, yet recollections which bring to me many a lesson 5 for I have not been untouched by the hand of sorrow, and it is always a help and comfort to me to think that my lot in life is easy as compared with that of other poor suffering mortals. I think it is bad discipline to be con- tinually bemoaning one's own hard lot, without thinking of the trials of human creatures besides one's self, and I also think that what has proved to be such a benefit to me might equally prove a source of benefit to others 3 so if you are inclined to listen, I will try to relate the prin- cipal incidents connected with the history of the ruin be- fore us. Of course I jumped at the proposal, and after seating ourselves upon a log by the edge of the woods, there in the heart of nature herself, uninterrupted by the noise of busy occupation, and with a chipmunk on the fence as our only observer, he related such a tale of human yicis- situdes and woes, yet withal blooming with rich moral blossoms, that I have ever looked upon that beautiful November 11101'Ill11g as furnishing one of the richest ex- periences of my life. The substance of the story, told as nearly as possible in his own words, is as follows :- I think it was in the Summer of i 52 when my father first moved in this vicinity, and although my home is many miles from here now, I always manage to pay occasional visits to my former home, and whenever pos- sible, to commune with my thoughts in this secluded spot. At the time of our arrival this farm was owned and cultivated by a highly respectable family answering to the name of Hielt. Of this family there were only three sur- viving members,-the father and mother, and a son john sixteen years old, about the same age as myself. john had an impulsive, somewhat poetic nature, but was, alas, too easily influenced by circumstances, which fact often led him into serious blunders. Furthermore, I may state that he was very fond of his parents, and seemed to delight in fulfilling their wishes. This feeling of love was returned by them 3 so that the three formed as happy a family as it has been my lot to look upon. t'There was a public school about a mile from this place which we both attended, and as the road to it ran through my father's farm, john used to stop for me in the morning, and in the afternoon, after the session of the day was over, we invariably strolled homeward together. Often times when I was at leisure I would accompany him to his home and help him with his odd- ends of work, while at other times he would return the same favor. So we lived peacefully and happily in each other's company, while the neighbors were wont to aver that when either of us were seen, the other could not be far behind. 1 151 How I remember the holiday tramps we used to take through the green fields, and amongst the huge trunks of the forests ! Never so happy were we as when, the days chores being completed, we found ourselves in each otherls company, to delve into the haunts of Nature and pry into her secrets. John was naturally bright, and also studious, and it was not unnatural that, under the influence of his pict- uresque surroundings, he should develop a taste for natural science. He borrowed several small works on botany and read them, and collected quite a number of botanical specimens. He acquired such a love for the study of nature that he had almost determined to lead the life of a naturalist, when a single incident, seemingly of the most trivial character, was sufhcient to turn the bent of his inclinations towards a profession which calls into practice not so much the sympathetic, loving investiga- tion of the lower orders of God's creations, but rather a cold, critical study of human nature itself. I mean the law profession, and the fatal incident was this: 'Une day at school after a particularly interesting lesson in Grecian History, the teacher asked john a question which had for its object the testing of his judgment as to cause and effect. His answer, though not remarkably brilliant, was good, and elicited the remark from the teacher: ' john, you ought to be a lawyerf This remark, though said in a joke, preyed upon his mind, and from thence forth he ceased to take so much interest in his botanical . F S 45 wifi studies, but occupied his leisure time more in general reading. I have always greatly feared that john's choice of professions did not chord with his natural tempera- ment, and was the indirect cause of many of the mistakes in his after life. But enough of this. Two pleasant years of inti- mate friendship passed away, and John, having finished his course at the public school, and meanwhile taken up a special course of study under a kind friend who offered to give him private instruction, was preparing to leave for college. His education had of necessity been but fragmentary in his early years, so that he was compelled to strain every nerve in order to make up the deficiency. Yet perseverance and energy won, and he was at last prepared to enter the Freshmen Class at college. Nobody can tell the sacrifices the mother and fa- ther made in order to send that boy to college, but he was a worthy lad, and the brightest hopes were enter- tained for his future success. How his last few weeks of time at home sped on,' bringing nearer and nearer the opening of the collegiate session, and what a wrench it was to feel that we must so soon be separated l At length the day of departure arrived. I was up bright and early, and had run over to the Heilt farm to see john off. john strove hard to conceal his emotions 5 but to a boy of his temperament leaving his home for the first time, this was too much of a task 3 and as he helped to place his trunk in the wagon, and then climbed in him- 152 self to be driven to the railroad station, I could see that his cup of sorrow was well-nigh full to overflowing. His mother and I watched him until he was lost from view behind yonder stretch of Woodland, and when he had looked back and waved his last farewell just before disap- pearing, the mother's silent tears fell thick and fast for a few moments, and I am not ashamed to confess that mine followed. However, we knew it was best for john, and so we wereconstrained to repress our feeling and betake ourselves to our respective duties. John's first few days at college were fraught with many new experiences to him. Although used to wait- ing upon himself, still he missed the ministering hand under the parental roof, and in many respects found mat- ters entirely different from the quiet life on the farm. Little by little he became acquainted, however, and after that peculiar malady known as homesickness had worn off, he settled down to work, and made for himself a fair record. He corresponded regularly with his mother and me, and as it was in accordance with his nature to be frank and open in all matters, we were kept well informed respecting his experiences at college. The receipt of his letters was, you may suppose, a source of great joy to his mother, and it was not long before she was outwardly reconciled to the separation, and the daily routine of the farm went on without interruption. john fully enjoyed the work at college, and was never so happy as when a holiday gave him opportunity md to visit his home, and receive the heartfelt welcome always accorded him. But towards the close of his Soph- omore year a slight change began to be manifest respect- ing his relations to home. His letters became more and more irregular in coming, and often were very incom- plete. Yet we made due allowances for this, and attrib- uted it to pressure of work. W'e should not have noticed this so much, but he soon began to form excuses for not coming home on holidays. Sometimes he remained at college, while at other times he would go home with one of the students. Yet his motherls heart was even recon- ciled to forego the pleasure of seeing her boy, because she thought that his visits furnished him happiness. He firmly believed that he loved the old home as much as ever, and perhaps he did, but to my mind there is a limit to the action of the brain, and in proportion as new subjects of thought came crowding into the mind, so old ideas and sentiments are wont to be obscured, or pushed back into the innermost recesses of the brain, as grain is stored in a warehouse. These ideas or sentiments require continual effort to keep them in prominence, and so it was in johnis case. His home-love yet burned in his heart, but the busy routine of college life so occupied his brain that it was no difficult matter for his home-thoughts to slink into the background 3 and he was slowly, uncon- sciously allowing the pressure of occupation to cast a shadow over the glow in his heart. , The summer's vacation after his Sophomore year I he passed at home, but although he willingly did what- ever duty came to him, still he never manifested his old enthusiasm over the scenes of nature or the affairsiat home. He read most of his leisure time, and seemed bent upon one object. That object was law. I have said that john was of an impulsive disposition, and that same disposition led him to throw his very soul into whatsoever project he took a fancy to. Law was such a project, and law he meant to pursue to the bitter end. Furthermore, he took the sternest possible view of the profession. He felt that there should be only cold dis- crimination in acts of justice, and although he did not intend to read law proper until his graduation from col- lege, he nevertheless trained himself to look upon the deeds of men from a purely critical standpoint. Neither would his energetic disposition permit him to maintain a happy' medium of sentiment 5 but in the pursuit of his chosen aim his desire to do right transformed him into a pessimist 5 the cold calculations of his brain preyed upon the sympathies of his heart until he seemed unable to see life's brighter side, or even the brighter side of his own profession. Sometimes while in society his inborn gen- iality would reappear, 'only to disappear in what seemed to him the proper training for his pro- fession. It was evident that some circumstance or some ' word fitly spoken' was required to bring again into prominence the tender side of the nature of this naturally affectionate lad. Fate decreed otherwise. ,.- .M -nn-1, . There 'was soon to begin a chain of circumstances which tended more and more to cast into shadow his better nature, and which were the cause of much sorrow and bitter repentance in after years. However, before this dark train, there was a trace of light. 'S To make a long story short, about the beginning of his Senior year john fell in love with a young lady living a couple of miles from the college, and for a time it appeared that his sunny disposition would once more be resurrected from its tomb of melancholy, and that john would be able to grasp the sunbeams of life which had lately eluded his clutch. His smile once more returned to his countenance 3 he felt better toward the world be- cause his innermost being, his affections, had been stirred, and somewhat of his old enthusiasm in natural beauty returned, together with a reawakening of home- love. But, alas! such a happy state of affairs was des- tined to arrive at an abrupt termination. The young lady who had excited his admiration was a bright, attractive girl, and she gave john all the encouragement he needed in his suit for her hand, but shortly before commence- ment, just as he was about to leave the scene of four busy years and take another step in the walks of life, he one day took her to a beautiful secluded spot near her home, and spoke of his love to her. Imagine his surprise and chagrin when she simply laughed a cold, pitiless laugh, and told him what her actions had belied many a time. H His faith in human nature was greatly shattered at I this disappointment of his hopes, and under any circum- stances it would have required some time for the wounds to heal. But again circumstances were against him. He relapsed into his former melancholy pursuit of chill, unadorned knowledge, became somewhat reckless ir his actions, and when the session at the law school opened, it found him in a it mood to enter into the first scheme, good or bad, that was presented to him. 'K It is needless to enter into the details of his experi- ences at law school. Suffice it to say that he fell in with a crowd of young men who cared more for having a good time than for studying, and as a result of his reckless feeling, john entered into their enterprises with spirit, and although not doing anything very wicked, still he neglected home, friends, studies, and almost self-respect. His natural brightness carried him through his final examinations, but the tares which had been sown in his character could not fail to produce their legitimate fruit. and to thrust him one step farther from the path of recti- tude and happiness. Such was the sorrowful situation when at last John was equipped to sail forth upon the voyage of life g and oh, how that motheris heart must have ached for the bright though wayward son whom she saw drifting away from loveis ennobling l11l:lLlG1'fCGSi You will notice that the year of Johns graduation was his twenty-sixth, and that same year witnessed the beginning of that stupendous struggle which enveloped our whole nation in the folds of civil strife,-the great Civil XYar of rS6r. NVhat could have better satiated a spirit of recklessness than participation in such exciting scenes P So john enlisted, and owing to the military dis- cipline he had received at college, soon obtained a lieu- tenant's commission. Amid the stirring events of war- fare there was great difficulty in sending messages at 3 distance 3 and so through all the four long, weary years not a word was heard of john Hielt, excepting now and then a mere rumor. Once, indeed, as was ascertained afterwards he had written home, but the letter was unfor- tunately lost. Afterwards he was either offended because he received no answer, or he had lost sufficient regard for the home of his childhood 3 for he never wrote again. After the four years of service had rolled slowly around, john seemed to have been imbued with Bishop Berkeleys idea that Westvvard the course of empire takes its way,' and accordingly he is soon on his Way to California. He openedalaw oflice in San Francisco, and started into work with his characteristic vim, and with the intention of rising in his profession, and thus making up for the lack of applied energy while at law school. But john was not happy. His better nature was, as it were, shut upivvithin himself, and he had ver- itably become a scheming man-of-the-world, teeming with ambition, his every thought being directed toward success in his profession. . Twelve years sped by. john had acqulred the IGP' I utation of being an able, enterprising lawyer, strictly accurate in his business transactions, yet little caring if other people suffered by his dealings. His opinion was respected, but he did not possess the genial warmth of feeling which makes one generally beloved. Reaction at last came. A commonplace circum- stance Was the means of leading john to reflect, and that was just the revolutionizing agent needed. Une day, While Waiting for the trai11 which should take him some miles out of the city to visit one of his clients, his atten- tion was attracted to two not overly well dressed urchins who were talking near him in mysterious whispers. They Seemed to be greatly pleased at something. One would make a remark, and then both would laugh as if it were the funniest joke in the world. The ludicrous aspect of the scene first caught his notice, and as he had nothing more profitable to do while awaiting his train, he allowed them to occupy his whole attention. He soon learned that somebody was expected on the incoming train, and that the whisperings and peculiar actions of the boys be- tokened the expectation of rare joy at the meeting. At length the train came shrieking into the depot, and the expectant air of the boys was even more ludicrous than before. They kept nudging each other with their elbows, all the while keeping a sharp lookout for the expected newcomer. john was interested, and watched them until a middle-aged woman alighted from one of the cars, whom the boys had no sooner seen than they ran up to 's si ig -I i i -f-33.11-QR: ': ,ii 4. 'r I J 'r ? 1 2 1 3 1 S ? 5 z U ' 4 i ,l I Fl i l s her pell-mell, seized her withered hands, demanded a kiss each, and altogether showed such manifestations of delight that they unwittingly formed the centre of attrac- tion for more than one pair of eyes. That was all he saw of them 3 for just then the command ' all aboard ' was given, and he had to run to mount the train just begin- ning to move off, and accordingly the happy trio were lost from view. Nor did he ever see them afterwards 3 but through- out his trip he kept musing on the scene which had attracted him as being ludicrous, but which had termin- ated so pathetically. The gladsome faces of the young- sters with happiness even shining through the grime ever rose before his mind, and the pinched, trouble-suggesting countenance of the woman, also illuminated with joyful- ness, was no less to him an object for reiiection. The monotonous rumbling of the wheels, the swaying of the train, and the swiftly flying landscapes were excellent accompaniments to his sober meditations, and he recalled pensively the scenes of bygone happier days, and also the image of one long since left in sunny Maryland, and whom he once delighted to call mother. He recalled his boyhoodis life of peaceful tranquility, and contrasted it as best he could with his present restless struggle for position 3 and for the first time in many years, a tear-drop glistened in his eye. Two weeks later an east-bound express contained a man who seemed to be all impatience, fretting at every I stoppage, and restlessly pacing from place to place. It was john Hielt going to search for his long-forgotten home. He found it, but what a change had taken place I The house was unoccupied, and was in a tumble-down condition 3 and the once fertile fields were nearly as you now see them, a mass of rank weeds. Cn inquiry he learned that his father had died during the war, and that his mother was then living with a neighbor living at a distance of a mile and a half. Greatly grieved, and not waiting to hear particulars, he started on a run across the fields to the neighbor's house. As he approached the dwelling he spied an aged woman just returning from the spring with a pitcher of water, and soon recognized in the bent form and withered features the guide and inspiration of his youth. Checking his desire to rush up to her, for fear of startling her too much, he first called to her and asked her some question, and then approaching her little by little, and meanwhile keeping up the con- versation, he at length made himself known. Then all the anguish pent up in that mother's breast for a score of years was liberated in floods of tears, and mingled with the tear-drops of remorse which fell from the eyes of that brawny, bearded man. They talked for a long time, past woes cast aside, and both filled brimful witlf the sweetness of reunion. john then found out what had transpired during his pro- tracted absence. The farm had been overrun during the war, and after that, the father being dead, it was rented to several persons in succession, all of whom took all they could from the soil without expending anything in its fertilization. The result was, the soil soon became sterile, and as nobody was then willing to cultivate it, it at last was sold for a mere trifle. Meanwhile, Mrs. Hielt had lived at the neighbor's house., paying her board from the farm rent and from the interest of the proceeds of the sale after the farm was sold. The boarding fee was nominal, else in her old age she would ere long have been entirely left to the mercy of the world. john remained a few weeks with his mother, and every clear day searched out some of the haunts of his boyhood, seeming to draw from them new life and inspira- tion, yet all the while filled with bitter contemplations of what might have been. Then he rewarded the kind neighbor for the kindness towards his mother, and fondly bidding farewell to the old homdstead, took his mother with him back to San Francisco. john was henceforth a changed man. If perchance he was tempted to grind down a fellow-creature, one I 1 glance at the loving countenance of his iniirm old mother was suliicient to dispel those thoughts 5 and although she has since passed away, still her influence lives, and john has realized that he has a different mission in the world than that toward which he worked for so many years. He has again become as of yore, the loving, sympathetic john Hielt, whose delight it is to help others 3 and if he has not risen to fill the highest positions in the land, his conscience is clear that he tried to succor the oppressed rather than spend his time and energies in the acquisition ofhigh political honors. Although he was in the meridian of life when he made his choice, he married, and from the letters he sends me occasionally, I am happy to state that he now enjoys life as keenly as when we were boys together. Thus ended the old man's tale. After thanking him warmly for his kindness, I bade him adieug and as I wended my way homeward on that eventful day, I felt more than ever that, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.

Only stop ! did I say nothing? 4 Sometime after school had begun, If I did, just let me explain : U Butjust at the time something else Something really did happen Had recently first been done. That something else was hazing, Supposed extinct in those days But on that night,-O, Well nothing, For 'twas the night they didn't haze. Now 'twas all a well-planned ruse 3 He did, as he said, go away, But on the late afternoon tram Returned 'ere the close of the day. Scarce waiting to eat his supper, Since he had no time for delays, He rushed right up to the college On that night they didn't haze. Which till now a secret has lain To hear it you must first promise Never even a whisper to raise For none hut me know what occurred Upon that night they didn't haze. Your promise having heen given, I will now proceed to relate How a professor one morning Rose early, at quarter to eight. He told all where he was going, Said he'd remain several daysg So no one expected to see him On that night they didn't haze. Then sneaking up the hack stairway, He ascended to the fourth floor, Unseen, unheard, without knocking He opened a poor F1'CSiJ1Il9.1l,S door. Pausing here for hreath, he explained His intention was to amaze The G. O. H. when they should come Upon that night they didn't haze. 159 I He bade the Freshman be quiet. Of his presence to breathe no word 3 Then the prof. hid in the clothes press Where hecould not be seen nor heard. The clock struck seven, eight, nine, ten, At eleven in vain he prays The G. O. H. may soon appearg But 'twas the night they didn't haze. A few more minutes pass away, Some one slowly opens the door- The prof.'s heart beats quick g but he se Another Freshman, nothing more. The visitor talks to his class-mate, At last the room closely surveys And is scared more than if it weren't The night they didn't haze. The discovered prof. bids him then Sleep in the room of his class-mate, Or else he would risk the result Of his staying up there so late. All still again, the hours roll on, The prof. recites his Grecian lays To himself there in the clothes press On that night they didn't haze. As time passed by, the Freshman slept Guarded safely by watchful care, The prof. grew weary, then stept out And possibly in Greek did SW62.1'. He lit a match, took out his watch, Looked at it by light of the blaze g Quarter of two, that was the time Qf that night they didn't haze. ' 16 O English oaths he then did utter , But to the Freshmen silently went, Awoke them, bade them never tell How he the lastsix hours had spent 5 Then opened the door and softly crept Out of the room pronouncing praise, Feeling he had done his duty On the night they didn't haze.

Bom-IM, '97. HE friendly sun which at noonday was directly in the zenith, had begun to sneak off toward the glow- ing occident, like a thief hiding behind a grocery box. All nature was hushed, when, beaming with radiance and a new cravat, his face brightly illuminated with inborn satisfaction, Magruder, the Mysterious Unknown from Australia, emerged from the sacred precincts of Pinkney. But who should meet him face to face and eye to eye, with threatening air and doubled fist, like one of Smith's cream puffs in a bag-Priestly Brutus, alias the Hagers- town Pugilist. Priestly Brutus glared about him like does the noble Lunis when on the war path for a St. Iohn's College girl. Each had his backers, and chips were placed upon the manly shoulder of each participant. Magruder Qetcj grappled Brutus -Qetcj in his sinevvy arms, on which the muscles stood out like the wrinkles on Deavor's face when he says prayers in Chapel 3 he grappled him, and bearing him aloft, he heaved him for I to throw, and exerting a power such as two could scarcely wield in these degenerate days, then tliundering through the slush with forceful sway he drives the noble Brutus down. O how are the mighty fallen! Up rose Priestly Brutus. Regardless, furious, he p.n'sues his way.
