An XVrit on a ruin palace of Kashmir 3 The end is nothing, and the end is near.' XVhere are the voices kings were glad to hear? XVhere now tl1e feast, the song, the bayadere? The end is nothing, and the end is near. And yonder lovely rose 3 alas, my dear, See the November garden rank and drear g The end is nothing, and the end is near. See how the raindrop niingles with the inere. Mark how the age devours each passing year 3 The end is nothing, and the end is near. Forms rise and grow and wane and disappear, The life allotted thee is now and here : The end is nothing, and the end is near. The death shroud waits thee, and the dark palled bier. Alas, sweet eyes and lJOSOl11 tender, dear: The tolling bell, the dropping earth I hear, The end is nothing, and the end is near. Then vex thyself no more with thought austere: Take what thou canst whilst thou abidest here, ld Favorite. F inis. 79 Seek finer pleasures each returning year 3 The end is nothing, and the end is near. Bind not thyself to n1uch to earthly year, But eat the bread of life and take good cheer. And drink the wine of life and have no fear g The end is vision, and the end is near. Joy is the Lord, and Love His character: Be tranquil a11d rejoicing: oh, my dear 5 Shun the wild seas 1 far from the breakers steer The end is vision, and the end is near. Ah, banish hope and doubt, regret and fear, Check the gay laugh, but dry the idle tear, Search, is the light within thee burning clear? The end is vision, and the end is near. List to the wisdom learned of saint and seer, The living Lord is joy, and peace his sphere 1 Rebel no niore 5 throw down thy shield and spear Surrender all thyself, true life is here 5 The end is vision, and the end is near. Forget not this, forget not that, my dear 3 'Tis all a11d nothing, and the end is near.

Under these circumstances we refused to drill in jacksonville at the Convention, and quite justly, too, as will be clearly seen by any fair-minded person who is Willing to look at a question from two sides. Now it so happens that one of our young lady students is in correspondence with a student of john B. Stetson University fa very large sounding name, isn't it? and by-the-way, John B. makes a very good hat, tool. This young hopeful writes to the said young lady thus: I had thought, dearest Beatrice, that I would see you some time next month: that I would once more gaze into those beautiful brown eyes and bask again in the sunshine of your smile. We thought the State College was going to give us a game of football: but since they have backed out, and I cannot get permission to visit Lake City 011 any other pretext, I shall have to get along as best I can without seeing you until commencement. just a simple statement of facts is all that is required here to explain matters to any reasonable person. We organized a football team quite early in the season, but did not practice to any considerable extent, because we did not think our Board of Trustees would consent to our playing any inter collegiate games. We received a challenge from Stetson, and, as soon as we obtained the consent of the Board, we wrote accepting the challenge. Then we received a reply, saying that it was rather late in the season 1 that they had ceased train- ing3 that they were preparing for a Held day in March, and could not train for it and the football game at the same time and do justice to both. So, as a matter of course, we did not play them. In the language of this Stetson student we backed out. ' We replied that we would like to get a game, and would play them any Saturday between the date of the letter and the end of the football season. Since then we have heard nothing from the football team of Stetson University. Now we will present this problem to our readers: Did Stetson really want to play or were they bluffing? 78
