The seeds sl1e'll drop down deep in Earth's emhraee, Elevens, ye shall he. ye youths and maids. And as the days and years whirl wildly on, Our Alma Mater's influential hand Shall guard her planted seeds in growth. Oftimes 'tis our helief our growth is o'er, And that we now are radiant blooms full hlowng Alas, how unaware that we are only seeds Just ready to he sown in Blother Earth! From out her realms and dark repressing eluteh. In time, with gaining strength we'll all emerge. On these the sun may flood its warming light: A gathering gale may hlow its heams from those. The rain may shower plenteous blessings here. Yvhile there its gentle toueh may not he known. For every seed a different fortune waits: In every seed a different heart heats life. Time may saunter. time may race: and yet A day will he when courage each will take. Cast od the c-urhing yoke of gloomy soil And lift our strengthened selves above. heyond: Behold the light-receive its restful rays. And hreathe the freshness of the fragrant air. Let's just pretend we're hlossoming tonight. And in the sway of gently blowing breeze Wie wave to all a sweet farewell. -E. JI. S as

I unfastened it eagerly. con- jecturing the while as to what it could be: Postmark blurred and the re-post marked New York C'ity. IYhat can it be? The last wrapping disclosed a morocco case with a golden clasp. I touched the spring and there upon a satin bed lay a pendant of curious workmanship. The stone in the center was a magnificent opal. a stone which I have never fancied. As for the setting. it beggared descriptioneit carried me back to the days when I pored over the Arabian Nights. where one reads of cavalry that have trappings of jewels. and precious stones that are as pebbles upon the Seashore. Nevertheless. I was disappointed. for I should much rather have had that stone jade. for instance. So putting the pendant in its case, I laid it aside and thought no more about it, But the opal was called to n1y attention in a peculiar way. One evening as I was studying late. the lights seemed to gradually grow dim, and looking up I saw that casket lying in front of me upon the table. I was positive it wasn't there when I began studying. I closed my Virgil and idly sprung the little clasp-there lay the pendant. the same one, surely, but how changed! It sparkled. it gleamed. it shimmered. it glowed as tho it were a perfect heap of jewels in the dancing noon-day sun. That must be where the light went to. thought I. and noticed that the room was quite dark with the exception of the fire shed by that. magnificent opal. The radiance gradually died out until it was uo longer a blaze. but a steady light. glowing within the heart of the stone. This light seemed suddenly to take shape and I could distinguish figures moving. They grew 1llOl'9 clear and there before me was a broad thoroughfare lined with buildings. and many people were passing to and fro. 67
