D.M. C.I. BREEZES 67 socially. The destruction of all those fine buildings would have ruined me for years to come. Again, I say, you are the bravest of chums, and when you can take over a farm, and that will not be many years hence, I shall see you have one free !” “You are only talking silly; what has become of Bull? “Oh, he’ll not bother you for a while, but never mind that,” replied the brother. “Listen to this; Sally here,” (for Sally was supposed to be Evan’s nurse just now) “is to be your mother.” That news was old, his brother had kept telling him that for the last two years; but on seeing the beautiful girl nodding affirmatively he knew it was going to be true. “Gee! That’s great!” he exclaimed, and then added wisely, “’course you mean ;ny sister!” “Right!” acquiesced Arnold. —0. E. Hawkins. STUDENT’S SOLILOQUY To work or not to work, that is the question, Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The threats and insults of outrageous teachers, Or to take arms against that host of tyrants And by opposing end them? To sleep, to snore, Not yawn; and by a sleep we say to end The backache and the thousand natural shocks Pupils are heir to, ’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished; to rest—to sleep. To snore, perchance to dream—ay, there’s the rub, For in that peaceful sleep what dreams may come, For snores do draw so much attention! Must give us pause; there’s the respect That makes calamity of school life. For who would bear the aches and pains of toil, The oppressor’s wrong, the senior’s insolence, Our visits to the office, the principal’s haste, The teacher’s curiosity, and the marks That patient merit of the dumbell takes, When we ourselves might rights obtain With a bare bodkin? Who would homework bear, To groan and sweat under this weary work, But that the dread of something after four, That small black book from which no name Is ever scratched, without some penalty, Makes us rather do this work we have Than add ten pages that we know not of, Thus laziness doth make cowards of us all, And thus our New Year’s resolution Is forgotten, Latin’s untranslated, And the contents of French and Hist’ry books Are here neglected. Alas! discov’r’d; We learn the name of action! —D.W., 22.
