Before the Dafwn, Night hovers o'er the earth with cloudy wing, Still lingering, reluctant to depart. XVhile faintly, sweetly stirs eartli's sleeping heart, 'With waking life's first gentle whispering The dreaming day half lifts her drowsy eye Awakened by the cock's unerring crow : The first wee songster twitters sweet and low 3 The first gray light o'erspreads the eastern sky Then quickly other birds awake and sing, Mate answers mate in song from tree to tree 5 The chorus swells in music wild and sweet g While to the fields the morning breezes bring A fresh and fragrant message from the sea, And earth and sky the joyous news repeat. M. L. P. Dozing. Oh, that sweet delicious moment just before we fall asleep, When we know that faithful reason fails its constant watch to keep, When our thoughts go slipping from us, far away from our ,con- trol, When the reign of dreamy fancy holds dominion o'er the soul. Great white ships go sailing past us on a foam-Hecked sea of blue 5 Fairy sunbeams dance in meadows shimmering with morning dew 5 Forms familiar ilit before us in grotesque, fantastic shapes, While the mystic light of dreamland all the world in dimness . drapes. Life's a hazy, dreamy something too unreal to be deined 5 Heaven and earth are sweetly blended, joy and sorrow inter- twined, Pain and parting are forgotten, toil and trouble fade away, And we feel the bliss of being, nor remember we are clay. Oh, that through Life's weary hours we could all the calmness keep Of that Sweet delicious moment just before we fall asleep. M. L. P. 36

This process of evolution is still going on. The number of buildings has increased. The Conservatory of Music possesses a branch in Columbus. In conclusion, let us note a few of the morphological charac- ters which have been evolved.

That no tricks may be played upon callers, but that everything may be done in broad daylight, the Saturday evening calls have given place to Saturday afternoon receptions.
