EDITORIAL EIGHTY-FOUR. were all loo “ JErcah.” None the worse, however, did we passthrough the storm of the “ Cane rmh,” and pushing aside the angry billows reached old “ Port Trinity,” leaving our ‘i friends, the enemy,” in the condition of the boy whose beauty had been spoiled by fooling with a spirited colt that kicked—not so good looking as they were before, but knowing a great deal more. Bravely we encountered the piratical hazere, and though .at first taken, by surprise, we at last conquered and dispersed them on all sides. Having captured several we intended to execute theusybut thinking a severe enough lesson had been given to prevent their further molesting us, wo did not carry out our design, although the “ropes were around their necks.” One we were forced to leave in a distant land (not) among savages. Our trials for the moment passed, we commenced industriously our re- searches into the beauties of the Grecian poet, into the sublimity of Cicero’s disquisitions, into the arcana of the “Vailed” oracle of the middle build- ing, and into the difficulties of “casting out nines.” Our plans being well laid out it was with ease that we travelled through these hidden mysteries; and it was with the meter of Iiomer, and the thoughts of Cicero running in our minds, a new idea of how to smougo the “vowel triangle,” snef hopes that the Senior Professor would soon go “surveying,” that we entered the lists of Field Day. Unluckily for us these sports had not been put down among the requirements for admission to college, so we were not as thor- oughly prepared in running, jumping, etc., as wo had boon in Greek and Lathi, and though wc took sevoral well-earned prizes, we willingly, allowed our honored seniors to carry off the greater part. And now being well advanced on our journey with calm sea and favor- ing winds, we approach the end of our first term, none of us regretting his choice of “ Old Hobart.” Eneouroged by our past achievements, we antic- ipate a bright future, especially when all around us are exclaiming: “ Sail on, O Ship, so strong and great! Humanity with all its fears, With all the hopes-of futuro years, Is hanging breathless on thy fate!” ■
