He having spoken, all hasten to vie with one another in the contest with rhetoric rules, where, wonderful to say, the pious Weedy, drawing a sigh from his inmost heart, relates the sad for- tune of the father of American literature, and the great assembly hangs breathless on the lips of the narrator. The banquet hall re-echoes with the clamorings and wailings of the chemistry students for HZO. As we in our wanderings approach the coast of the art studio, behold the aged father Mrrll, accompanied by a band of followers, rushes up and recognizes his ancient companion Hskll. They join right hands, and we enter under the hospitable roof. The burning altars smoke with incense, and we joyfully recline at the feast of the Seniors. As we are borne over the foaming deep the raging ausier strikes our sails aback. Clouds snatch the sun from the sky, and dark night covers the deep. The following aurora ushered in the fos-
