Spring The snziliug earth, now young and bright, Is in lzer blushing I1lClI.fI'CIIll00d,' In garnlents decked with blossouis white Her beauty shines in held and wood. The bira's for love of lzer fair face lflfalee wlzile slzc sluuibers at the dawn, And sing her beauty and her grace Iflfhile she awalces to greet the nzoru. The heavens snzile above lzer head, She fears no threat of angry- stornz. The soft winds bloicq. she feels no dreaa',' They couze but to caress lzer fornz. Clad in briglzt garments fresh and pure, Of sweet young bua's and blossoms fair, How doth she now our hearts allure Hfith snzile so sweet and debonair! The sun, with his last parting glow, Now lingers longer day by day, As loatlz. front her loved sight to go To lzis home belzind the nzonntains gray. And, as he bids her fond adieu, A nzouzent glows with love's sweet bliss',' Theu, as lze sinks fronz lzer fair view, She blushes with his parting kiss. Sweet Spring, I lenow at nzaid whose charms Rival those worn ou thy fair brow. Alay Heaven defend lzer froni all harnzs, And keep lzer pure and fa-ir as tlzou. -R. C. B., fr. 123 ,.. . -...1.-.LL

Now at the midday mea-l The mah who Physics teaches, .Made all these matters clear By a few middiuuer speeches. So, soon the host assembled, All came dressed iu their best. They smiled arid looked their sweetest Holsiuger did the rest. A t last the work was over, Arid every oue uow waits To see what fair impression Was made upou the plates. The au,i'ious expectation Aud suspeuse they scarce survive, And joyous are the emotious, ' Wheat at last the proofs arrive. But lo! oue group is missiug! The truth I can hot hide, For the plate which faced the Faculty Had cracked from side to side. IZS
