Behold tb’juvenil’ academician, Pursuing lingual 'laboration, Sire lauds the “boy's” determination— Ilis 44 Ma” exhibits agitation— He's hugged and wept by each relation— Bussed and rebussed—Bid shun temptation, Till from coach, boat, or railroad station, He starts to finish education ; (Equipped with introduct’ry letter To Prexy Drill or Proff.

Erudite in Greek alphabet And double rule of three.” Now too commences party strife ; With 'lectioneering due. He's walked and chalked in “weaving way,' And regularly “put through.” Tho’ at such game by no means bandy. We'll give a modus operandi. Enter Snooks, with brother, Hunkins, And Freshman green, as usual, “punkins. “ Good day, dear Bill! to introduce “ Allow me—Mr. Griglet Goose— “ A friend of mine once saw his mother, “ And I myself have met his brother,” (Or something quite as ftppropo.

While (keen as cats at catching mice) The time is watched to give advice. Fellows “ drop in” to “ get a drink,” Or “ borrow paper,” “ pen,” or “ ink,” Or “ see what time it is Ruses and dire necessities Brought into practice As electioneering tactics. But 'twould far worse than folly be. Mentioning each trick, and scrape, and plea. All parties use to “nail” a fellow : Suffice, Goose gets ripe and mellow. Impartially determining in mind, The “ best Society” to “ jink.” The goat is mounted, climbed the pole — Particular friends now grow ice-cold, I Fresh'self's a wonder, nine days old; In market Freshman's stock declined, I To social station left resigned. And now commences duty’s round, A round of being bored, Devoted Freshman ! in reserve For thee, all pranks are stored! At midnight, as the Freshman snores. Behold a squad of skillful bores. With bit and wrench, and boding squirt. Approach his room, With pail and squib, and rope to girt. And filial Jiie . W A fizz ! ca-pop !! Freshman wakes, Involved in nauseous stench— Exclaims in vain “ for pity's sakes,” And bars the door with bed and bench, •While grunts and groans and puffs prodigious In anything but mood religious. Fill all the air with music rude— The while saltation fs wilder brewed; Folly to chase vile squibs around, In murky dozens they abound, (Nor less the number or the din) Ere one is out two more are in ; Squirming 'twixt toe and scorching linen. While scores of outside rascals grinning, With quips and pun and ribald noise, Shout quizzically “ let's run him boys!” Bolrvid, Denuded Freshman, wild with wrath; Two stalwart Juniors grasp him tight, Facilitating Freshman’s flight. Away all go ! Tom, Dick, and Harry— (In no sweet transformation fairy,) Vainly meanwhile fagged Freshman begs Real for his singed and weary legs. Alack the day, fur sake of knowledge, He ever thought of entering College, Better his birth he'd ne’er survived, When such Olympic games revived, Demand length, breadth, and strength of muscle, Surpassing acrobatic tussle. Cheer up pDor “ Fresh !” once safe in rooro. Thy buoyant spirits thou'U resume, Tho soothing symp'thy stand not by To dry the tear or stay the sigh, Still all this causeless persecution But just begins the revolution Of care and strife, and toil and trouble, That coming years will but redouble ; Clouds oft may gather o’er thy path, Tempting thy fullest, firmest faith ; Those clouds betimes must disappear— The gloom will disappear— And future gladness throw kind light, Thy path of life to cheer. In modo sic the “ Freshman spends His sessions three ; And, all sides, jnental view extends, Like “green bay tree;” At end of Freshman year, Ent’ring bran new sphere, He’s metamorphosed to a “bore — A self-conceited Sophomore— Mischievous, verbo-plenous, “sassy,” Simp’ring, smooth-faced, sly and 44 brassy Largely- talks of future prospects, Flaiiuu his riags and silver tooth-picks. Cyclopedic draws from Libr'y, Speculation cites in Mulb’ry, Quote his authors, learned very, Lute-scrape tells of Harper’s Kerry, Distance gives to Londonderry ; Boxes, fences, rows his wherry, “ Tight” and social gets on Sherry, Singing Royal Tom and Jerry, ProlL accosts in mood quite merry, With quizzical questions On points as positions, Or lines running “ criss-cross,”— Or who was the “ man of Ross Ju fact ij ul nunr Soph, is never at loss ; •Giving everything Jits” and particular r ov.v.” In search of fun, his wits will turn and twirl, and twine and twist, Like popping corn, from guzzling pop to jine a ' pop” at whist: Kin’lly t may show how Sophs esteem the College legal code, IF from their customary life we venture ’n episode.

But whether it rains, sleets, blows or snows, Let but dinner-bell break the invalid’s doze, Ficknefes no longer abed will repose, Cripples recover the use of their toes, Down from each hand the text-book goes— What recks reading e’en Crusoe or Tupper, W hen bell rings for breakfast, dinner or supper. Most remarkably strange why Rush or Dewees Didn’t prescribe as remedies crackers and cheese. Or beef steak and turkey, to students when ill In place of vile suits or Brandreth's pill; Since College Physicians give rhubarb or ipecac, Whether for chills, colds, corns, or ‘ crick -in-back.’ And yet notwithstanding one’s been very sick, Tute exacts excuses for dclinquence during week : ‘Absent from prayers, morn and eve, for four days ! Excuse, Sir !’ (The student is lost in amaze.) ‘ i think's a mistake, Sir, in ringing the bell, And, really, must add, Sir, I felt quite unwell : There's Tuesday, all day, Sir, confined to my bed, And Wednesday, so ill. Sir, I had to be bled ; And Thursday, in running, I down the stairs fell, So ’twas late Friday night before I felt well.’ Late at Church Sunday morning, and left afternoon,’ Is answered by pleading— I’s locked in my room, The key was outside. Sir, and some one stole past. I So before I could help it, the door was locked fast. | For this valid reason I was not at church, 'Because, you perceive, I was left in the lurch ; .That afternoon, also, my boots being worn, IThey leaked very badly, and my stockings were torn, .Much water soaked in through the unmended soles, Danop’niog my feet’per-medium of holes ; ' Aly health is quite poor, and in fact I’m not stout, And that’s the excuse, Sir, for thusgoingout.’ ! It is often remarked why students don’t die Since, in fractures and illness, they each other vie ; • But the truth ’s been discovered in this Institution, The one most unwell has the hot constitution ; And want of appetite chu fly arises, ; From eating rich tarts and Loo many i ijsskh ; I While fevers and agues, and bilious diseases, Result from night-scrapes, and going, or- i SPKKCSKS. ! Hence, we ween, if epistles were sent to each daddy, ; Purporting that Jack had constructed a , paddy,’ [ Or Turn, w hile enjoying a bnsL’ or a ‘snap- i Had conquered a peace with the bill’s pon-d'rous chipper, Their daddies would foam, and order them home, , Ere measures were taken to bundle their j bacon, ' Bv out-blottincr names from the huge Col- lege tome. ■ But we must nT continue to tire and detain I you, | These College complaints and cure-alls to show ; Just a moment’s advice, and we're through in a trice.

R.—Take of pepper and pipe stems about a pound, I Put into a stew-pan and swiftly stir ’round ; | Of strong plug tobacco then add a large pilR i And tincture lobelia full half a gill; | After simm’ring an hour, take off to cool, And have the whole compound according to rule. When, therefore, a lesson you cannot recite, j Of bolus above take a ‘big bite, j Your eyes will begin to roll ’round in their sockets.
