THE RULE OF REASON. I do not like sulphuric acid, I am not fond of prussian blue, I cannot feel serene or placid While eating chlorine in my stew. I do not like to feed my boys on Arsenic salts, refined or crude- In short, I do not think that poisons Amount to very much as food. It's always been an open question, Whose answer I could never find, If copper oxide aids digestion, Or formalin improves the mind. l've never tried a daily diet Composed of acetanelid. I know a man that used to try it, And now he's sorry that he did. But I suppose that I must acquire A taste for viands of this sort, For I certainly don't desire To peeve the U. S. Supreme Court. And following the rule of reason, Of which said court, is very keen, With cyanide my soup l'll season, And spice my pie with Paris green. -V. B. MAURICAU, '16 220

wr-ffwwfr REAL LIVING. Break into song Laugh down the way Fill your life full Of dance and play Pause where the little children run, And watch their curls toss in the sun. Join in their calls And shouts of glee And never, never, never be Too hurried to stop for a time, Where birds sing and where glories climb: Your bank account may suffer some If you pause where the wild bees hum, And you may not make so much cash If you shop where the waters splash To hear the birds sing overhead But man you'll be a long time dead, And living means to love, to be One with the birds and babes of glee. -WM. A. IVIATUSHEK, 'I7 '219
