could find no better reason or excuse for Sir Roger's hurry to leave them on his last visit, than that he hastened to bestow his gift and deck the lady he admired. Sir Roger reddened and stammered, and then said that he could stay longer with his friends on this visit and thus passed it off. He never again referred to the matter. Whether Sir Roger ever offered his gift, or whether, in offering it, he was taken with one of those attacks which he has mentioned, of silent amazement and admir- ation in the presence of this beautiful and perverse widow,-attacks in which she delighted, -these questions have always been unanswered among his friends. However, it is known that the old knight never parted with his intended gift, but treasured it as tenderly as a woman would, with several other mementoes of his early love. After the old knight had passed away, this brooch was found among his effects, the covering somewhat soiled and the brooch itself somewhat tarnished and dulled, but still packed carefully in the jeweler's box. Strange, some one remarked, that it was not sent with the other jewels as a last gift when the knight was preparing to die. FLORENCE W. SHEHAN, '99. ir No. 637. FRIDAY, DEC. 24, 1714. Having no spare time to write anything of my own, I have thought ht to publish the following letters:- UMR. SPECTATOR: As I have noticed in many numbers of your paper your articles on the petty follies of the times, I thought to advise you of one thus far overlooked. There is a habit which is almost universal among the beaux of the town of going to places of worship, churches generally, for nothing but to stare young ladies out of countenance, and by so doing, to annoy exceedingly those who are not of a coquettish turn of mind. As I am blessed with some little outward appearance of beauty, it has been my mis- fortune to be much annoyed by a Certain young fop who is so very ill-mannered as to- pay no attention to the services, he spends his entire time trying to make me appear as ill-bred as to gaze back at him. Co- quettes might feel highly pleased by this kind of uncalled-for attention, but this epis- tle is from V ' ONE wr-Io IS Nor A COQUETTE. P. SQ It would be a great kindness to many young ladies besides myself, Mr. Spec- tator, 'if you would tell the beauX that we go to church to worship, and not to be the object of their undesirable attentions. V I am, sir,?' etc. UMR. SPECTATOR: ' Iam a young gentlemen of a good fortune and sufficient good looks to be quite a beau among the ladies, but I may say with pride that, instead of being, 'forward and bold, I am, on the contrary, quite bashful. Indeed, I blush on all occasions. Now, certain young belles who desired my fortune, be- cause I would not offer it to them, with my heart and hand included, have taken occa- sion to avenge themselves by coming to the place of worship -which I quite regularly- attend g by their continuous and bold glances, they seek to attract the attention of others to my good looks. .Since I am bash- ful, as I have said before, their constant re- gard confuses me, and I blush painfully, in accordance with their aim, fornimmediately upon seeing me redden, they begin ia most unmannerly giggle, after the fashion of school girls, and not at all according to the usages of good society. Whether it be their object to call attention to my bashfulness or not, certain it is that that is what they accomplish, for other young ladies are fol- lowing their example, and soon the clergy- man will forbid me the church, which wguld be a great loss Therefore, Mr. Spectator, I call your attention to these unmannerly d0iUgS Of 3'OUUg women, with the hope that 6

' I am, yours, etc. 2 Un our opinion, a conceited young manj KATHERINE L. LYMAN, '99. 5' No 638. MONDAY, DEC. 27, I7I4. Down on your knees, And thank heaven fasting for ' ' A good man's love ! -Slzakspere. I beg of you, fair ladies, do not cast this paper aside because of the above words, but peruse hastily and ponder over these few words which I am constrained to speak in behalf of my sex. It seems to be the tendency of many great ladies to consider but little the feelings of the stronger sex, who are as wax in the hands of woman, and to treat lightly the devotion of their lord and master, ac- cepting it as a fit tribute to their beauty and grace+this sad fact I feel obliged to admit to conciliate my readers. With your caprices and 5' our wilfulness you have driven your lord to seek relief and con- genial company at the coffee-houses, while you sit round the tea-table and discuss him, and upon his return at daylight upbraid and criticise him. - Were I a bachelor, I should keep my peace, for I love my bottle and a good story as well as any man, and being responsible to ho one, I could stay with my comrades at the everlasting,', until, having drunk my fill and told my stories, I could return to my rooms with a clean consciencegfbut I speak from experience. I am married. And now that experience has made me sad, I would warn all young men contemplating marriage, and advise all helpless ones, to send a copy of this warningto ' my lady,' thus enriching the coffers of this paper, and at the same time improving the condition of home affairs. N ow, my lady, thoughrthese words may seem harsh and undeserved, remember that there is not in all England a more devoted admirer of beauty than I. Be lenient with my lord upon his jovial home-coming, and I will warrant that if he fears not sneers and harsh words at home, and if he Ends that your beauty and kind words are his, the coffee-house will have to recruit a new following from the bachelors, and he who used to spend his time at Wi1l's or St. Iames's, will not then be found at his old haunts, but at .his home, surrounded by congenial comrades, who now make the drawing-room of 'my lady' as famous for its gathering of wits and critics as any coffee house in London. LUCIA MCCURDY, ,QQ fkf-1 Tibet Schiller? f CLlEliIbeIn1CeII. Wilhelm Tell war das zuletzt-been- digte 'Drama von Schiller. Das Thema ist, in der Kiirze, das rechtmassige und erfolg- reiche Aufstehen eines geeinigten Volkes gegen grausame Willkur und Unterdriick- ung. Der Held des Stiickes ist nicht Tell allein, sondern das ganze schweizerische Volk in einer rechtlichen Verbindung gegen einen gemeinschaftlichen Feind. Nach Schiller waren die Leute der Waldf stiitte die Nachkommen von skandina- vischen Ahnen, welche, aus dem Norden von I-Iungersnot getrieben, ihren Wegfnach den unbewohnten Kiisten des Vierwald- stiitter Sees gefunden hatten. Zuerst waren sie freie Menschen gewesen, welche nur die rechtmassige Macht und Gewalt des deutschen Kaisers anerkannten.
