It TZ5. .?fjT! 'JF ' contains the choicest selections, upon ' ' thousands of topics, from those histo- ' -W rians whose writings have been accorded the highest place bylthe common consent of mankind. Mr. Larued does not attempt to do again in a poor way what the pens of the world's greatest students and ablest writers have already done in the best way, but he gives History on all topics in the exact words of the historians themselves. It will answer more questions in History, more authoritatively, with greater excellence of literary expression, and with a greater economy of time, than any other or even all other books in the world. DR. JOHN FISKE, M. A., Hlstorlln, Cambridge. The grouping of torpics is a great point in such a book and in this your success is signal. I believe it will prove one o the mo:-xt valuable reference books in existence. PROP. MOSES COIT TYLER, l'I. A., L. H. D., Cornell Unlverslty. It is the simple truth to say, that the longer my experiments lin test of History for Ready Referencel continued, the greater became my admiration for the ingenuity and simplicity of the plan of tlns great book. W. T. HARRIS, fl. A., Ph. D.. LL. D., U. S. Com. ol Education. It is one ofthe great objects of your History for Ready Reference to select the gems of history and accordingly each sc olar may possess within the compass of four or live volumes a large part of the most precious historical treasures. CHAS. KENDAL ADAMS, LL. D., Presldent Unlverslty ol Wisconsin. l I am surprised and delighted at its fullness and apparent accuracy. No other work of the kind is comparable with it. PRESIDENT JAMES B. ANGELL, LL. D., University ol fllchlgsn, Ann Arbor, Mlch. We have reason to be proud that an American scholar has produced this work so invaluable to every student of history and so indispensable to every library. HIRAM C. HAYDN, Ex-President Western Reserve Unlverslty, Cleveland. This is a great, useful and interesting work. We welcome and commend these elegant volumes without qualification. CHARLES F. THWING, President Western Reserve University. Cleveland. A book of books and a hook for books. EDWARD G. BOURNE. Professor ol Hlstory, Adelbert College. For the purposes ol ready reference, the work is much superior to any other in the English language. BISHOP JOHN H. VINCENT, D. D. Where the dictionary goes this history should go.

H, Seniorshluniors, Sophomores And lireshmen, list to me, A tale of wondrous merit rare I now will tell to thee. And you of the Preparatory Class Can also give your ear, While I relate in compact verse A tale most wondrous queer. My story must be brief, you know, And not take up much space, For incidentally you might think Me sadly out of place. I'll not encroach on your good-will, For I just have so much room To grant myself my just deserts And give your book a boom. V story will go just as good To those outside as well, Who doubtless will with you approve Of what I'm going to tell. In simple measure metered line I thus approach you all, My story's good in summer time, In winter, spring or fall. In fact, no matter where you go Or where you chance to be, The apex of my narrative Is always good to thee. So now I'll close this iitful verse By making this connection, White's Yucatan's the only gum That's lit to pass inspection. Largest Stock of i .vw ELEC TRICA L SUPP IN NORTHERN 01110.

Our class history began in the fall of '38, when Max Burke joined the institution as a junior Prep. I-Ie wasn't the only one in the class then, but he is the only one who has survived from that time. qPerhaps he would be teaching instead of surviving now if it hadn't been for Prof. --.5 The development of the class from that poor beginning was slow and uninteresting until our Freshman year. Probably we were nearly as troublesome and foolish and conceited as our modern successors, the Cads. But never mind those far-off, hazy times. lVhen we emerged to the full light of self- conscious identity and became Freshmen, then Rome began to howl. VVith one fell swoop, we humbled the haughty denizens of '93 and '94 and secured the foot-ball championship. It was in the spring term of that year that we distinguished ourselves by forever slaying that iniquitous institution known as junior Ex. The younger generation of students may think they know something about scraps, but they don't. They should have seen those halcyon times, when the earth 'was new and the gods were young, for their tall scrapping. The Sophomore year was marked by the arrival of the rest of the class, Lynn Skccls. During that year we quietly assumed all the athletic championships. Our junior year showed how kindly Providence felt toward us. ln the first place, we had Prof. King in Psychology. ln the second, wc were helped out of Logic. Logic may be a nice study, but we,didn't see it. lt was about the middle of the term, and we were in the mysteries of such statements as that a with a circle around it, multiplied by be with two circles around them, added to the concept bicycle:a spring ehickeng nobody in the class ex- cept Lynn Skeels could understand that, and everybody was sure of ilunking, when Prof. Roe was taken sick. We always did like Prof. Roe, but of course he has to be sick some- times, and we were glad it came just then. There was one thing, however, which he said that was believed. He said that people could talk without using words. The class had seen other people sit in a hammock for two hours at a stretch and not do anything but look into each other's eyes, and still have a perfect understanding. They were thinking of their Senior year. It was in the spring term that the crowning event of the junior year came, when in the solemn stillness of the night, the junior Ex. monument was put up. Of course, 'oo didn't do that, but since, for some unknown reason, it was always blamed on us, it is mentioned in this connection. Prof. A. A. Wright didn't pull it up, anyway: the Freshmen said they did that, and quite easily too, but this statement wasldoubted. T, At last the Senior year came and with it the added cares and responsibilities and the black-hearted villain who would now and then ask the embarrassing question: What are you going to do next year? With foot-ball and Tlianksgiving turkey and Freshman oysters and stag parties, things were kept a-humming. Now from time immcmorial the Senior year has been considered the proper time for the classzto mate off and get engaged. When the class returned to Oberlin last fall there seemed to be an uneasiness and suppressed excitement. They were expecting something, but that something did not come. One by one the boys chose partners from outside the class. The 25 ass histories. girls became excited-and for a time held weekly meetings to discuss the situation and report progress, until at last it dawned upon them that a direct act ot' inscrutable Providence had cut them all out for school teachers and woman's righters. After this fact in all its bearings was seen, only one such meeting was held, and that was at the end of the winter term, to celebrate the exception which proved the rule. While the class has been going through all these stirring events, it is interesting to note the changes which have come upon some of the members of the class. Now there is Diabolus Haskell: Da'ab was a good boy when he was a prep., and a fearful grindg Max Burke, too, has developed considerably. Miss Elmore has steadfastly resisted the changes of time and is the same sweet, bright, innocent girl as of yore. Little Billee Chamberlin has not seemed at all himself during his Senior yearg something must be influencing himg but then he is youngland may get over it yet, Some of the girls have joined the new woman movement, and are prominent in this line of work. But then such is life: we must all change. 1 Now, in order to clear up all doubt on some subjects, certain things which '96 did do and did not do should be mentioned before closing this history. First of all, '96, as a whole, did not have a class distinction. lVe steadfastly resisted the allureinents of plug hats, caps and gowns, watch-charms, canes, and fountaiii-on-the-campus. The only exception to this is that the girls did get some wonderfully pretty caps. Secondly, '96 did not steal Polyphemus. No, this was left to our unprincipled forerunners of '95. Thirdly, '96 kept the foot-ball cham- pionship banner all through her course. Fourthly, '96 clipped Dr. Neweomb's hair. That is a fact. Tommy Green and'Frank Spinrller of '94 did not do it. The deed was done by '96 men. Fifthly, '96 has been in every scrape and scrap that has occurred since we were Freshmen. We have done our share toward making Oberlin the most rowdyish college in the United States, as Prof. Hall says. ,Q Well, these Q,things'.fare:.all over now. Our college course is done, and it is with the stereotyped mingleclifeelings of joy and sorrow that we look back upon it. With a brief parting farewell we will adjourn to the aforementioned hard, cold world. N15 QW Q A NN ,Z ., 1717 or .i I I' ' 1 I, A b s fj - 50157 f N ,Qi f f'j w il u 7 7 ,lin 4 X ,. , fe.

Ballantine, President of Oberlin College, '97 feels that she is no longer unknown to fameq she feels that Bacon and john Stuart Mill are no longer in it, and that she and D. E. Morgan and Prexy will henceforth govern the logical world, and announce conclusively to a long yearning public what the precise difference is between a plate of soup with pepper and salt in it and one containing both. There is a fine distinction there which only the well-educated man can see. lt took some of us a day or two to grasp it firmly, but through the efforts of our theological brethren we V, have all finally made it our own, with the exeep- i itil tion, of course, of one or two of the girls and the ,f . X members of the checker tournament. But who, . -- save Prof. Anderegg's famous room-mate, who af- terward went insane, can be expected to think of X 4 If two things at once, that is, of course, unless the two Q l - I things should be reading Archaeology and improving SJ'-xs..,f' one's social privileges. 12.5.2-..... v.,l'nn Besides Logic, we had Pencils, you know, in Cm 0 br i '- the fall, and we learned to observe and to recall the most remarkable incidents about the hazy past, when we were small, and it was certainly curious how very similar some of our experiences were to those the present Seniors had, when they too were small. Prof. King often told us that a very similar incident had been handed in last year, and that fact in itself seemed remarkable. But since we'd sooner be considered wise than good, we wish to publicly confess that all those maniaeal impossible schemes for numbers and colors were only a part of our legacy ffflm '95: none of them originated in our intellectual midst: we utterly disclaim them all. It isn't even thatllilr. Tracy thinks of number one in coimection My with Peters Hall, twenty-three with the planet Neptune, and one hundred, as just eighty-nine ff I ix 7' feet in a straight line above the Boys' Gymna- Q 1 slum.

No one knew what some junior was going to hand in about him the next day. But gentle reader, and members and friends of the Faculty, it was for the good of the cause, and most of us passed. We hate to mention itg we have had one blot upon our name and fame. The Whisker Club sprang up among us and tiourished like many very green bay-trees. We tried to 29 Glass lbistories. long as the girls coaxed them up with apples and fried cakes, what discourage them, but so he class do? Four courageous affluent youths gave in before they could the sane men of t were utterly disgraced, but the rest held out, with the exception of Gulick, who, in a sly way, had heard that the young women had experienced a change of sf- heart, and were going to cut dead all the whisker devotees. It was late on Saturday night when the news came,Vbut Mr. Gulick never hesitatedg he borrowed a quarter, and appeared at church the next day, fair as of yore. I But that was one of the nobler, sweeter acts of the renowned club, and stands out in sharp contrast to some of the vile and vicious performances of a few of the more warlike whiskerites. As an example of these, we bring before the footlights the Y ' y f x . K I Spartan iight of our VValter, the night when he vanquished single- I I handed, neither forewarned nor forearmed, a gigantic mob of four . ' athletes, including the one and only YVilliam J. Gould, the strongest E-R-silaift man in '97g the Samson, in fact, of the whole college. Of course, Ch-kigt XV. G. wasn't well that nightg he has explained all that to us, but he must have grown rapidly worse after he had been in such unpleasant proximity with an irate XVinchester. And our precious little Lamb, too, really wished that he had kept on following Mary instead of prancing after a pair of clippers. Mary always steered him clear of tights, and that Saturday night taught him that by and forbidden paths aren't always the smoothest. As a feneral thin f, :eacc is one of our stron f Joints. Ever ' . 3-. L one must have noticed thc fatherly advice and aid that Sherrill 1 and liauver gave President Ballantine in quelling the riot the gal, 3 night the Freshmen had their little unpleasantness. In every way IW 'll -wc tell it modestly-we have done what we could for the Faculty 3. , this year. XVc even wrote them a letter, and offered to have ,wif-X Junior Ex. for them, just as a sort of advertisement, but Prof. l .i,j'f,l Martin was afraid he'd have to go to it if we did, and by bribes ' 1 and intimidation won the majority over to his side and voted it down. This is only another instance that goes to prove that ii' WJ Id virtue isn't its own reward. For the sake of the college, we were ii, -fe-imin Yr., willing to rise up in the Second Church and make numerous idiots gf JM, H Behr of ourselves, and the Faculty said No, without even a Thank F Us lma- you for our offer. XV e have parted, and without a tear, with five of our numbe1', w . 'offs cherubim and seraphim. XVe have often felt that we didn't do the right thing' by '96 in not telling them just what they were getting, and we 'have feared that perhaps we ought to have endured even unto the end, but '96 herself might have seen that there must be some aberration of mind among five people who would leave YQ7 to join her. We tried long and faithfully to make those people what they should be, but as Prof. Martin once pathetically remarked to his flock, Vlfhat God hath not sown man cannot reap, and we feel that '96, as ho have this year joined 30 ass Tbistories. well as we, has a right to make psychological proof of this proverb. 1'is true, there are one or two among us by whom Mr. Dorsett is missed, but on some occasions he is with ns even yet. Senior as he is, almost an alumnus, he has had the disinterested thoughtfulness to stop in while his old class-mates were at some wild revelry, and to tell them that it was time for her to go home. How many men in '96 would have displayed that same Christian spirit? We, in our lowly estate, appreciate it of a man in Dorsett's position, and we often wonder what we'll supply in his place next year. Socially, '97 has been in the front rank ever since last September. There have been parties as many as the law would allow, and there has commenced to exist between the boys and girls a mild toleration of each other that has never before been apparent. lt has be- come very common for them to bow to each other on the street, and at some of the socials a few of the bolder youths have even gone so far in their giddiness as to see Nellie home. We sometimes even hope that next year, with the Seminary course so near at hand, and the mis- sionary fielcl still waiting favorable men and equally able partners, this feeling may grow stronger, and that perhaps the 'Phanksgiving' list may be received with more satisfaction than it has been heretofore. Yes, truly, '97 has grown in all sorts of grace this year. She has put away childish things, and is rapidly growing up. She has learned to know what will be expected of her in the year to come, and eye or Oberlin hath not yet seen such a blazezof glory as she will then display. .ff?.f:?3gg-p ,129 A 4 wits WW fi z' .

There would have been nothing very remarkable about this fact if it had not been the class of '99. Now we did not claim at once, as '98 did, that we were Mu and the only class. VVe simply went to work quietly and the whole college has felt our influence and has known-even if it has not confessed it-that we, the last class of the century, were a model for the whole institution. Early in our career, while still in the Academy, we began to bud, as it were. Not that we have entirely blossomed yet, even under the kindly smiles of Professors Martin and Hall. But we may fairly be said to have reached a point in our development which proves beyond a doubt that for the next three years we shall surely blossom and flourish as the sunflower- at least those of us who are permitted to remain. Last fall many were asking what class would win the championship in foot-ball. Out- wardly '96 was confident that her success of former years was to be repeated. But in fact they realized that each dog has his day, and that their day had set. So the championship banner was sent to a friend in the country for safe-keeping. They wanted something to re- mind them of former glories, and this is the way they managed it. Thus have the mighty fallen, and thus they fell again on the mud of the foot-ball field that cold rainy day of Novem- ber, when the backs of '99 crushed down the mighty line of '96, though supported by Cupid, who had left for a moment his favorite pursuit of maidens to aid in downing the Freshies. Ninety-eight also learned a lesson during the foot-ball season. They will never forget that day when, arrayed in night-robes borrowed from the Seminary for the occasion, they attempted to rattle our team. But suddenly every shirt disappeared and the Sophs. almost lost their own boiled shirts in their frantic attempts to reach places of safety. It would seem that this lesson should have been sufficient, but no, one more was needed to im- press on their minds the old adage that children should not play with fire. Of this anon. The next event of the year was our first Thanksgiving party as a college class. We need not tell of the witty toasts that were given, of the dainty refreshments, of the pretty girls and happy fellows. Never has the old court clock looked down upon a more festive scene. Never have moments fiown so swiftly. Never was a Thanksgiving party enjoyed as that first one of ours. But as thisis a class history, we must not forget the darker side-if we may so call it. Like the classes before us, we have grumbled and groaned over Math. We have spent gal- lons of coal oil over Lysias, while Livy, Horace and Homer have called out our best efforts. What little brain force we had has been wasted trying to think of subjects for themes in the English course of Mr. Cressy and Myself. But much of this is passed, never to be re- peated-at least not by all of us. At Christmas time many of us went home to our friends. How we strutted about the old familiar places, for were we not really in college? How our younger brothers looked up to us! How good it seemed to be at home again! During 'the vacation the girls of the class presented the boys who had remained in town with a beautiful banner, in honor of our foot- ball victories. This banner shows the stuffiour girls are made of. No other class has girls 37 Glass lbistories. who are so loyal, so devoted and so pretty as the class of 'qg. This banner we intend to hold for three more years, and then hand it down to some worthy class which may even now be in the Academy. Again we settle down to the grind of the winter term. Many of us spend a frequent half- hour on Lee's. Some of us are said to linger dangerously near two o'clock in the parlors of our boarding-houses. Quickly the winter days pass away. The boys of the class planned for a stag party for the Saturday after Washington's Birth- day. Only Freshman boys were supposed to be invited: but the rest of the college knew what a magnificent spread was to be served and felt called upon to be on hand. So, on the afternoon of that eventful Saturday, Messrs. Orth and Dors ett of '96 kindly issued invitations to all men of all departments to be present at Peters Hall in the evening. Soon after tea the Freshman boys gathered in the court of Peters. Here were wild cowboys, washer- women, timid country maidens, dancing girls from the Midway, and last but not least, the two long-legged members of the class, clad in costumes that would put to shame a ballet girl of the Bowery. Long tables were set, and we were ready for an evening of enjoyment when the crowd outside-which had gathered to be in the fun-seemed to demand attention. We then proceeded to invite them in by the way of the coal-bin. We sincerely hope that they enjoyed the evening as thoroughly as we did. To show in what awc even the mighty Seniors hold us, it would be well to tell how, though the mob outside had four unprotected Freshmen, they dared not cut a single hair. True, we lost our oysters, but they were not cooked or seasoned, and we had the pie, which was of far more importance. Again '99 came out on top, and our fellow-students will not need another lesson. . It is needless to tell of the lesser events of the year. At every point we have upheld our part. We have given the college fathers little trouble. One of us has left for a season, but he went in good company, and the Discipline Committee needed something to do. Aside from this we have behaved at all times in a most respectable and Freshmanlike manner. We have also raised the standard of scholarship in Oberlin. Prof. Anderegg says that only '95 can be compared with us in Mathematics. Some of us are so far advanced that we have elected Prof. Monroe. We shall continue to do all we can through our entire course to put the college scholarship on a higher and higher plane. Champions in foot-ball, victorious in scraps, we shall come back next fall only to add further glory to our class. 38 ,gg 1'YNf'1 f' liii ECIUOI' HCHUCTIIQ. llbotto. Colors. Tflfw iv flpzi.

But in the language f of Room S, we follow them with non passibus aequisf' How can we claim for ourselves the brilliancy of these, our predecessors, when their president is a gradu- ate of Pharmacy, and, judging from appearances, many more are fairly well acquainted with this subject, which we know nothing about? Nevertheless, we can try to equal them in conduct: yet even in this we shall have to exert all our latent powers. A little incident that happened near the end of last term will prove this. During the term Mr. T. had received just a dozen-a baker's dozen-pressing invitations to call on Prof. Root at his office. This bashful boy declined again and again, but the invitations continued to come with marked regularity. At last, unable to curb his curiosity, he dressed himself in his best cutaway, put on his favorite tie, and taking a clean handkerchief from the upper drawer of the dresser, went to see why the dear U5 professor wanted him. Imagine his feelings when the dear professor, lovingly taking his little hand in his own, said, with his sweetest smile: Mr. T., you have a splendid record-for a Freshman. With the patience of one of our very great great-grandfathers we have attended many an important meeting of the Senior Academy class in Room 13, after prayers. Here, without a thought for the supper which others were eating, we discussed Hag, colors, motto, yell, and Thanksgiving party until dark. Now we meet without our former patience to dis- cuss those who forgot to pay their tax. According to custom our class had a social to get better acquainted before the Thanks- giving party -that means to give the girls a good chance to get beaux for the party. Dux femina facti, and it was a success. At that party! Oh, my! -rflog fu fllnzj. If that party was the bqz,fz7z1zz7zg for- Oh, my Y Boys, pray remember that you are not juniors, and mend your ways.

But take this advice, all of you, and have nothing at all to do with it. We are yet too young to have done anything remarkable in the line of athletics. But, in spite of our age, some of our class-mates did splendid work on the football team last fall. Our deepest regret as we bid farewell to the Academy is that we can not take Prof. Peck with us. Although he will not be our teacher, we shall always remember him as our truest friend, and the high ideals he has placed before us will help us over many rough places in our life. 41 T H Glass ,y lbistories. y can ibimrp. HY should one attempt to write a history of the Cads? You say They have no his- tory, or, perhaps, are not capable of producing any history. But if there be any history more wonderful than that of a Cad, it has not yet been brought to light. For behold what boundless possibilities there are, even in a poor Cad! Why, we make history Qfor this history was made in an hour and one-halfj. NVho can tell but that this conglomeration of pointed shoes, pink shirts and tiashy ties may yet result in a missionary hero? fThe heathen are to be pitied.J Y es, even when he is dead broke or when stocked with cards of Please call at office, he is happy. What cares he for these tritles? He knows he can run his face, and that there are plenty more postals where those came from. He may Hunk, but what of that? The study will be all the easier when taken over. , Go to the secret depths of Prof. Peck's office, to the ledgers of Preston's and Burgess', and even in the hearts of some of Oberlin's fairest girls, if you wish to read the history of the Cad. . Yes, we are loath to say some of our most brilliant members have had the nerve to fall in love. Even in the face of being disgraced in all their studies they have had the audacity to fall in love. And then our elders humiliate us by asking the object of our affections, Have you taken a child to raise? But we have courageously borne it all until things have come to such a point that the faculty are discussing the evils of co-education. But it is not our fault. the girls entice us, and who can resist the bewitching smile of an Oberlin girl? They want a Cad, for only with him can they see all the games, eat boxes of candy until they have no space left for the numerous boxes. If for no other reason than this, the Cad would be a benefit. They keep up the elite fpronounccd a lightj trade of thc comm un ity. But we are fast succumbing to the growing tendency of the college, and are thinking of higher and nobler things than dress: if you don't believe it, just ask Eckert and Son. But haven't we done anything of importance? just listen. I-Iaven't we pulled the dol- lars from the pockets of the poverty-stricken college men, by keeping up the practice of send- ing roses on Washington's Birthday, when none at all would have just about struck them? Haven't we been the only ones to hold a literary contest that would draw a crowd? Haven'tiwe had teams that scared the life out of all the college class teams? Haven't we been the only ones to buy the choices with our fathers' hard-earned money? Haven't we done all the hard work in the scraps. while the college men get the glory? Are not our girls the envy of even the Conservatory girls, a11d cannot they have whom they would ? 43 Glass . Tbistories. But time would fail to enumerate all. What haven't we done?

IRST the Faculty.-To their honor it must be recorded that the opening day of the first term found them ready to take up their work. During the year they seldom disappointed their classes by absence or tardinessg an excellent example to their students, who appreciated it less than they profited by it. The welfare of the Sem- inary has been close to the faculty's heart, all with an eye to general well-being, which, being preached, must be practiced. ln this case the general well-being is represented by the students of the Seminary and because they are sentient beings -intellect and will just average-it is quite proper that they be treated as the summum bonum. And our faculty did it. One carried this devotion so far as to propose to turn over to a student his own private study and library, manuscripts and all. This good-will also very aceeptably mani- fested itself in the class receptions given at the homes of the professors. Among the students the shift of the year brought the customary newness. The wise faces of last year's seniors do not shine upon us. Instead, there is the new crop just endeav- oring to assume the dignified air of the superior place it has come their turn to filL The work was promptly taken in hand, and the year's grind began on a day and night run, with no stops for repairs. Opportunity to catch breath was offered only by the regular Sunday lay- over and a brief vacation during the holidays. The result is a remarkably large total output per man. The wear and tear, it is hoped, will he mended by a summer's pastoring on Western plains. In addition to the regular work the practical side of life has received much attention. Twelve pulpits were regularly supplied by Seminary men during the year, while many men went out occasionally to preach. Several of the students proved themselves efiicient helpers in the Christian work done in the Centennial Building. The special lectures on practical subjects were both highly interesting and instructive. The story of the literary societies is short. Samekh Aleph sank far off the shore, but managed to float its will to the land. From the wreck, it is hoped, by adding new material, a better sailing craft may be constructed. Finney Society succeeded in stopping the leaks and keeping the boat above water. But it, too, needs repairs, and must go to dry dock for an overhauling. Special occasions have been plentiful. First we name a reception given by the literary societies to students and faculty. The Thanksgiving celebration was an unqualified success, surpassing, if that be possible, the former celebrations in elaborateness. Nothing was per- mitted to mar the perfection of the evening: Rain would not allow a hitch, even in a detail. Chocolate was served: sugar should follow, when, alas! there was none. Yet good sense and speed so quickly brought hither the desideratum that the company never suspected the facts. The guests and students not on committees pronounced the event a success, and will long remember the evening as one of pleasure, the committees and helpers, as a season of work. Student fellowship and loyalty to the Seminary have received a marked impulse during the year. This expressed itself in the refurnishing of the reading-room at a cost of about ninety dollars. This was made the occasion for a house warming which proved to be the pleas- antest and most profitable social gathering of the year. The Seminary men have also shown themselves patriots. The occupants of grave old allowe'en, were disturbed in their peaceful slumbers by an invasion made by forty or fifty lads bent on mischief. qln what follows we do not say that the men of peace did what they should-we simply record the facts.J Fortunately, word of the impend- ing danger reached the men of Council Hall in time for them to make hasty preparation for Council Hall, late on H 47 Y the attack. Those below, seeing the determination of their opponents, held a prolonged council of war, but finally decided to risk an advance. Those who were defending home and right gallantly repulsed every approach of the enemy. Up and down the stairway the con- fiict raged. VVith a shout they. stormed from below, but though outnumbered, the men above hurled their assailants back again as though they were but pigmies. Thus they held the enemy at bay until suddenly reinforcement appeared in the form of the mayor. The invad- ers then ingloriously withdrew. They were a sight as they sneaked out of the building with heads hanging with shame and in an otherwise unsettled state of mind and body. The fame of the Seminary men is established. The old stairway is their Thermopylae. Long live the memory of their heroic deed! Several things have been learned during the year. Original sin began and ended with Adam. The following comment wasoffered on a sermon in Preaching Ex.: As a whole, the sermon was good. I got a good deal out of it that was not in it. This proves that Sem- inary men can preach suggestively. A student in homiletics classihed sermons verte- brate and 1nuscular. In Mock Council a candidate was discovered who had not had regeneration. The unfortunate man was in this sad state because, so the examiner ex- plained, he had not yet studied it. Viewing the year carefully as a whole, nowhere do we discover grass growing. For several years the number of students had been diminishing, partly due to the raising of the standard of admission. This decrease has been checked in the past year: the total enroll- ment has been the same as that of a year ago. The ebb has apparently reached its lowest point, which augurs well for the future, for after the ebb comes the flood. Thus has been added another year of success to those that have gone before. May its memory rest peace- fully in the ashes of time while Oberlin Theological Seminary goes marching grandly on.

SO Gonservatorg 1bistorQ. f WAS long ago that the Wise Man said, There is nothing new under :the sun. lt is just as well that he wrote it. People have for several thousand years been ex- perimenting and have gradually come to the same conclusion. Without experiments the present historian knows it to be most woefully true, especially in the matter of Conserv- atory, Histories. This year the Fates have been most propitious. Thrice have the students been through that most trying ordeal of joining. At the beginning of the winter term a yard or two more of red tape was added to embellish the general effect. No one need question for a moment the intellectual fibre of Conservatory students, after seeing them calmly, patiently, and yet with untiring energy, secure practice hours, schedules, rehearsal tickets and signatures. The enrollment for the year has been about six hundred. Ah! awful joining-day, Conquered without dismay, All the world wondered: Honor the charge they make, E'en their hearts do quake, Noble six hundred. Our corps of teachers has been large and efficient. Prof. Sweet left last sunnncr for a year's sojourn in Europe. Another of our professors spent the autumn months with his bride 'neath fair Italian skies, but came back to greet us at the opening of the winter term. Through the year we have had the privilege of hearing some of the finest artists from abroad. It has been the aim of Prof. Rice to secure the very best talent for these recitals, and he has spared neither time nor expense in bringing this about. . We cannot forget Rieger, our favorite tenor, as he sang difficult arias or tender ballads with an equal interpretation and Hnishg or Ondricek, with his wonderful technique, making his violin quiver as he ran his sensitive fingers over the strings. The Thomas Orchestra has given two fine concerts in the College Chapel, and Friiulein Emery and Mr. Sherwood, the eminent pianists, have been with us. Prof. Andrews has done much to broaden our knowledge of organ music, by giving us a series of historical recitals. These have been entirely free to those who cared to attend, and many have availed themselves of this rare opportunity. Although considered an ordinary event, we cannot forbear to mention the Wednesday rehearsals-source of so much joy and sorrow-source of joy to those in the audience, pos- sibly, because their names are not on the programme. and source of sorrow to the performers because they would fain yield their place to some one else, modestly content to fill a little space in the audience. What a fresh field for some realistic writer! Warner Concert Hall crowded. A small room at the right of the platform. Hero steps down the aisle through the small door. An unutterable longing possesses him, not to distinguish himself, but just to grasp a sufficient number of ideas to keep him from extinguishing himself. Hero outwardly calm, even tran- quil. His mind in fearful turmoil. Mechanically he rushes to the pier-glass and adjusts the lock of hair which will fall over his left eye. He hears his name. Spasmodically he clutches his music, then a cold sweat stands on his brow, and he realizes that he must leave it behind. He advances upon the stage, and the audience appears like so many rows of cabbages. His eyes trouble him g his fingers are cold and qclammy. Carefully he seats himself upon the . SI piano-stool, and, awful conviction! his last idea has down. But no, he begins to play. The piano is strangely new to him, although it has seen years of active service. His fingers meander over the keys. He has no idea what they are going to do next. Everybody is glaring at him in hideous fashion, he thinks, except one. She sits down there in the third row. Oh, horrible thought! what if he should break down now? His fingers have suddenly stopped on a crashing chord. Yes, that must be the end of it, although he cannot think of a note he has played. With faltering step he walks into the wing and sinks down in one of the upholstered chairs. He knows in his heart that he will never, no, never, laugh, if some other fellow breaks down utterly, or sneer when somebody sings flat, or whisper to his next neigh- bor when any one tunes a violin asa preliminary, but then it has always been against his principles to whisper in rehearsal. After this fitting moral there comes to Hero a sense of relief inexpressible and a consciousness of duty nobly done. The great social occasion of the year was the Thanksgiving Reception tendered us by the Faculty, who cleverly provided us with an unexpected recital given by the Gypsy Band. This entertainment will long be remembered as one of striking beauty and intricate har- monies. We boast much in the way of music, but we also boast a literary standard that compares favorably with the College Societies. We gladly pay this tribute to Harmonia, the literary society of the Conservatory. This year it has carried off honors in its usual quiet and modest fashion. , Seven there are who will soon leave us-great and mighty Seniors who have given their recitals, and on whom we look with envious eyes. To them we extend a tearful farewell, while they smile back and sing, It is better further on. Probably the rest of us will follow, after years of patient effort. We are not classed. Heaven alone knows when we shall iinish. But some bright day, by and by, we shall be Seniors. The shock will come suddenly, and may we be prepared for it. This year has bee11 rich in advantages. The halls have rung with music. Constant has been the clash of the pianos and the squeak of the violins, and it may be that some one idly strolling through the deserted corridors in summer may catch an imprisoned melody, or some little semi-quaver, a remnant of a Marchesi Etude, will drop upon his devoted head like a special benediction. i .' ...jp '.

Our work is patient, thorough, comprehensiveg advance is slow, but sure for the most part. 1 We might be likened to a constellation where some starsf give a steady, brilliant light, and so, whene'er you look into the heavens, you always see them shining in the night. At times a star bursts out across the heavens and quite outshines all others while 'tis there, but even as you're looking at its progress you find that it has vanished in the air. just so it is with those who study with us. Some always can be found hard at their work, while others, who are just as smart and able, fall short because they are inclined to shirk. Then there are srme who enter this department whose fitness for the work is very slight, in fact, there is so very little of it it may be said to be quite out of sight. Most of us have one strongly fixed ambition that, sometime, if we work hard while we're here, it may be found we have sufficient talent to pay for studying in New York a year. We sometimes have a spread up at the Art Rooms, and then, besides the casts and bones so dry, if you should happen in just at the right time, you might rind olives, taffy, fruit or pie. But mostly it is work, and we're hard at it for two or three or Five hours every day. Come up and see our casts fthere are four new onesj. Perhaps, like others, you'll conclude 'to stay. 54 X '5 U 'G Aff 'W 'W We wh Wi: + my vw X ,vc N-95.1 7 .

Although about to celebrate its sixtieth anniversary, in spirit it is still young ' ' and active. Organized in 1839 as the Dialectie Association, it was changed in i844 cl 1 W, 7 to the Oberlin Young Men's Lyceum, under a charter by the Ohio Legislaj .W ture. Again in 1859 its name was changed, this time to the Phi Kappa P1 L' , W U I ,B Society, with dlclm ml rrfmzorrj, friendship and progress, as the motto. The f ' - q l l - motto chosen then titly characterizes the society's growth and attitude on g1?J'l,',5'l 'f,, H 5 every question. 'WV ' ' ' ' This organization is the mother of all the other literary societies and inci- Qg pl, dentally of all the literary development of the college. Its offspring has Xl waxed strong and is a fit monument to that maternal care which fostered it in infanc '. Our College Glei: Club, which enjoys the well earned praises of thousands of. admirers, owes its origin to this society. The Phi Kappa Pi Glee Club was once without a rival in the sphere of college music. Society Congress, that institution of short-lived popularity, was evolved from the brain of a dl li' ll man. The Society has always furnished its full quota of men to the Hi-O-Hi, and Review boards, and has often furnished substitutes to the places left vacant by the other societies. In oratory it has ever been at the front, However, there remains to appear the orator who shall win first place in the League contest for Oberlin. The society has a flag which has stood in the corner for years and toward which each heart once warmed with loving reverence. Its stars are dim. Its stripes are tattered, and the whole has withal a patriotic appearance that would appeal to any loyal American heart. Its every aspect bespeaks war and carnage. In their dreams, as the weary debate dragged on, the members would hear bullets whistling by and see the dear flag grow dearer in direct proportion to the multiplicity of its rents. But this illusion was soon to vanish. The flag was to lose its halo. An Alumnus visited the society and in an address dwelt at some length upon the history of the flag. It had never seen a tight except a sham battle on the Campus. Its tattered condition was the result of a conflict with several generations of Council Hall mice, which used fragments of the stars and stripes to line their 11ests, hoping thereby to pro- tect themselves against rodent bands of marauders. Every question of national policy that has puzzled the minds of statesmen has first re- ceived a thorough hearing within W li'Il halls. It-condemned the policy pursued in the Mexican War and clearly demonstrated the wrong committed by that invasion. The slaves were freed before the idea ever entered the mind of Lincoln. john Brown's raid at Harper's Ferry was denounced as hopeless. Every great act recorded in our national history since the birth of the society has received its moral support or unmistakable signs of its disapproval. I-Iow much influence this care on their part has had on the history of that time, no one can tell. Much talent is wasted in the discussion of every great question, and perhaps the thankless public does not appreciate the Society's kindness. Volumes might be filled with personal anecdotes. How that the little Senior persisted i11 keeping his feet on the table, thereby bringing upon himself the censure of the society. How that another Senior, as president, ruled the society, adjourned because he could not recall the question under discussion. How that still another Senior began his debate before the judges were appointed. Such incidents, however, belong more properly to a history of that class, and will, perhaps, as the theme of some' 96 man, have a place upon the commence- ment programme. Profiting by past experience, with friendship and progress as a watehword, the next half century will, doubtless, be an improvement on the past. The Phi Kappa Pi Society of sixty years hence will be an organization of wide influence o11 college life. Q 64 F ' Ill'1 -'- f. Z2 r H fb' ev Y , , Y 5,5 . f ' , ,. - .

The first is the Embryonic Age, extending from the formation ztgjij JJ ' of the society to October, 1841. The second is the Stationary Period, t 1841-1849, and is marked by blunt good nature and simplicity. The third I fl period is one of intellectual improvement, and has been called the Cox Period, in honor of its champion. For the same reason, the fourth, I855-'61, is known as the Cravath Period. The Civil VVar caused a relapse, which gave its character to the fifth period, called the Period of Relapse, ending in 1865, at the rendering of the first com- plete history of Phi Delta. The society was christened Philomathesian. Two years later the name Union Society was given, and about 1853 the final change was made, bestowing the present name. The first place of meeting was a recitation room in Tappan Hall. After Music Hall was erected one room was used by Phi Delta and Phi Kappa for their society meetings, on different evenings. The Union Exhibition, established in 1850, became the most important of the inter-society events. The great event of 1868 was the occupation of Society Hall. Ill the dedieatory address President Fairchild said: The new room is elegant and leaves nothing to be desired. One year after this happy ceremony the new abode was shaken by convulsions, and, as the his- torian quotes, infandum laborem, from which resulted Alpha Zeta Society. The ten o'clock rule was forgotten for weeks, special meetings held, and at one time two freshmen were seen facing each other with doubled fists. On April 29, 1875, Phi Delta won unprecedented laurels in a spelling match with Alpha Zeta, thereby wiping out the disgrace of many an ill-spelled document in her past pro- grammes. Messrs. See, Painter, Roberts and Crane stood victorious when Alpha Zeta's last man had fallen before the word 'A wheezyl' Soon after this Phi Delta gained victories over both the other societies in base-ball. One of our honored professors, who used to be known, when historian of Phi Delta, as Fred Andcregg, has preserved the following tribute to the early virtues of the society. After the Union Exhibition of 1884, a society reunion was held and Prof. Monroe made a speech in which he said that Phi Delta had always been remarkable for the genius of her members, but especially for their popularity among the ladies. The twenty years that have since elapsed verify this compliment. During these years the old society customs have vanished one by one, till we no longer hear of Sophomore, Junior, Senior, or special quarterlies. They have been replaced by other events. In the winter of 1888, Phi Delta Society met in the new room in Peters Hall for the first time. The fioors were bare, the walls unadorned, and the wrong set of furniture had arrived. It was, however, a meeting full of hope, although there were tender recollections and tearful words for the old Society Hall. The time of meeting was changed from Tuesday to Wednesday evening, and so remained until in the fall of 1892, when Monday night was chosen. The events of 1894 and JSQ5 give evidence on rostrum and on athletic field that Phi Delta is still making history. i 68 'fl 4 'lf JA ' L. snuff.: 3 . g,.f s -2 23 br W. 'nu WN, f ,.

EFORE the days of foot-ball and Washington Birthday parties, before the days Of Monthly Rhetoricals, even before there was such a person as an Oberlin graduate, in the year 1835, the L. L. S. Society was born. What was accomplished during the first eleven years of its life, we learn from tradition only., The first part of its recorded history is very interesting. The simplicity of life at that time is shown by the constitution revised and corrected in 1846. Those members who failed to till the appointments assigned were considered, according to the constitution, as inefficient members of the society, and merited its frowns. Absent members were treated more severely. A written excuse or six and a quarter cents was required of them. There was no set arrangement 'of the programme. Sometimes one, and then again six, essays furnished the literary programme for the evening. The titles of some of these essays arouse one's curiosity as to their treatment. Is it right to deck the brow with pearls? Sketch of the Nineteenth Century, A Glance at the Present State of the World. Others are recorded that are not so ambitious, but more practical- The Scolding Wife, Why should we study? and one on the programme for April II, '49, Which is preferable, to dig gold in Ohio or in California? Discussions were often introduced to vary the programme and, later, deelamations. For a time, musicplayed a very prominent part and a regular choir was elected to lead the singing. Great ingenuity was shown in arranging the pro- grannne. On june 5, '46, there is recorded a Conversation between the daughters of job. Unfortunately we have no clew as to the character of this exercise. This was a restless period. The name of the society was altered from the Young Ladies' Association to the more definite one of Young Ladies' Literary Society. It was a time of fundamental changes in every direction. The constitution adopted in '55 shows a most remarkable growth. Child- ish habits were thrown aside, and the foundations laid for a long and useful life. Such a life it has had. As the society grew older it lengthened the programme, adding thc oration in 1856, later the extempore speeches and parliamentary drill, and within the last few years a fifteen minute conversation on important topics of the day. It also became more classical in its tastes, so much so that its common name seemed no longer iitting and to be known by the initials of a Latin 1notto became its earnest desire. Accordingly in 1878 the motto, Litterae Laborum Solamen, given by Emily Huntington Miller, was adopted and from that time it has been known as the L. L. S. Society-a name well suited to its present home in Sturges Hall, with its classical pictures and statue of Athena. With the old name, its other abiding places have passed into oblivion-the Assembly Hall in the old Colonial building, with its bare benches and tallow candles, and the more pretentious room in the Ladies' Hall, where the kerosene lamps and wood stove were then thoroughly appreciated. The influence of L. L. S. has not been confined within its own walls. Twice it has opened its doors and sent out a nucleus of a new society. In 1852 the Lyceum was founded, afterward called Aelioian, a child of which one might well be proud. Harmonia, sent out in 1894, has hardly had time as yet to prove its metal. L. L. S. has taken its part in the train- ing of hundreds of college women, among others, Lucy Stone Blackwell, Mrs. Dascomb, Mrs. Johnston and Emily Huntington Miller. The progressive spirit that has always characterized L. L. S., continually raising its standards, is with the L. L. S. of to-day. Never have its ideals of true literary culture been higher than now. The enthusiasm and devotion that have formerly carried it on to success are stronger than ever. Long live L. L. S. ! 72 A w w ff., .. 4 sl in 1 y n, 1 m U - n ' , I ii , , 4' 1 if 1 fr , .

T has been forty-four years since Aelioian Society came into existenceg yet it is only a child, daughter of the older Ladies' Literary Society. The founders of the new society were progressive and believed that women could and ought to debate as well as speak pieces and write the regulation essays 3- so they withdrew from the old society in IS52, , and formed the Young Ladies' Lyceum, where their new ideas were put into practice. The progressive spirit Hourishedg the new ai1d best things were striven for, so a new and better name was asked for by the societv. In April, 1861, a new name was suggested, and it is interesting to notice that the secretary recorded this as Noelioian. So it was left on the books until thc society, after three months of deliberation, decided to adopt this new name, when the secretary corrected the mistake and wrote instead the much-loved name of . . . .. l ,, . A ,, Aelioian. This is from the Greek word Helios, the sun, and signifies Light Bearers. The records ofthe society during the first four years of its existence were lost in the in 1386, so the first meeting of which there is record was in 1856. It consisted declamation, and a discussion. The latter must have been the interesting eeting, since it was on the question: Resolved, that the cultivation of' the h f 2 f the student. It makes a student of the Ladies' Hall fire of two essays, a feature of this m social faculties is detrimental to t e progress o present year refiect, and sighing, say: Ah! There is nothing new under the sun. The records of the society during war times are particularl interesting. There were two special occasions in the year T801 when the society adjournecfi first, on account of war ex- citement, and, second, on account of the unexpected return of the soldiers. There is also notice of thc fact that Miss Emily Bowen made some remarks, after which the society tendered her a vote of thanks for the cheering effect of her words in the society's present de- jected condition. Most of the discussions of' this time were upon some phase of the war if ' . . '. . .711 1 44W'11thA and slavery, such as Ought Oberlin students to enlist for three years. anc 1 e election of Lincoln be good for the nation? However, even in the midst of war excitement ' ' ' - ' ' 1 l that tl student to Jics still held a place, for did they not discuss the question, Reso vet L 18 erection o a gymnasium is detrimental to the interests of Oberlin College! No doubt here is the explanation of the fact that the men of the institution must still debate this subject, though in a somewhat different form. The ninth anniversary of the society was celebrated by a public exercise given in the church on August 14, ISOI. The exercises were opened with prayer by Professor Churchill, the programme consisted of music and eight essays. In those days it is recorded that they sang a societly song, but its popularity has not lasted unto this day. .In the o d programmes declamations and reviews took a prominent place. Later, critiques and oi-ations were introduced. The present programme omits the first two and has added editorials and extempore speeches. At first the critique was presented the same even- ing as the exercises it criticised. The one who criticised must be prepared to give her views at the close of the meeting. In 1860, after quite a little discussion of the matter, the critiques were changed to their present form, where the critic is allowed one week in which to prepare, in the proper proportion, doses of praise and blame for the unfortunates who preceded her. Aelioian was founded in the spirit of progress, and has maintained this spirit through- out the years. Its history for thc present 'year may be written as one full of profit and growth., Its membership is the largest of the three ladies' societies. The work has been car- ried ton in the usual dignified and worthy manner, interrupted by nothing save perhaps the dis- cussion of society pins and photograph proofs. But boasting neither in numbers nor works, Aelioian would simply point to its membership, past and present, as a vital and enlivening part of Oberlin College. . 76 x V I'IIlHl'lfA Wlllllufl' 447 .mdk .um nm unmrnnnuf' h-131155 NW, ., , 'W' ' 'WU 1 l ' ,, W Q W M, ,.. . gi? , , ww' -1 fb, wi: , , . 1 ggi, ' 'V V ' A 1,51 ' .

But in Oberlin there are four means by which this want is partially supplied. I. The matrimonial bureau, whose effect on the continuity of the generations needs no explanation to an average Oberlin audience. II. The rules, which are omnipresent, from everlasting to everlasting, eter- nally the same, and which, according to the l'Jean's own belief, have trans- formed him from' a simple man into an omniscient being. ill . fy iyfzx - 'T III. The Faculty, ot whom we hear nothing unless one of them writes a book or gets fired. IV. The societies. Here, truest and best of all, we have the sense of continuity carried out, except at Society Congress, when the continuity of the generations is lost sight of in the contiguity of the sexes. In the fall term of ISGS the thought occurred to three members of the Sophomore class, independently and contemporaneously, that the only adequate remedy for the existing evils was the organization of a third society. These three Sophomores were A. F. Hatch, C. N. jones, and I. A. Halg. Plans weige ?ecretl1y caTrried on by these n1ove1'T,lQ11clllpy the middle of the following spring our men eac rom tie unior, Sophomore, ant ires man c asses in each society were elected and added to the list that should constitute the new society. The plans were then made public b ' the request of these men to be excused from their respective societies for the purpose alreac y mentioned. . A stormy debate was aroused, which raged for tl'lI'8C.I'll.01'1tl:lS, and three or four evenings per week were given up to Joint meetings of the two societies for the discussion of the great question of the hour. In such a manner was Alpha Zeta evolved, containing twenty-seven members drawn from the two old societies. In order to attain a high standard of literary excellence, the following are some of the resolutions adopted, and lived up to with certain modifications: ist. That little less than a miracle should cause the complete omission of a weekly meet- ing. But as nuracles do not happen in these later, degenerate days, nor anything like them, we have not, like our weaker brethren of the other societies, omitted any meeting during the past year, but every week sees the little handful of the faithful assemble and depart in peace, and, as the coal bill goes on just the same, we get the full benefit of our ?pI2.00. zd. That if human effort could secure it, Alpha Zeta should never have a failure in her Jrogramme, and only once during the past year have we had such a failure, and as it would ave taken a Divine effort to arouse Mr, Bebout from his lethargy of laziness a11d woe, we being but human, cannot be held responsible for this slip. 3d. That the general debate should be developed. The most remarkable developments which we have had from this part of our programme are our Kickers. It takes only about two years of general debate to transform the most peaceful and loving youngster into one of these faithful, long-eared A Z animals, The Kicker. As an example of such a transformation, we would refer all to Mr. Skeels. His ability has, however, been largely increased through kicking dogs during his pedestrian tours in the View Business, which, by the way, he recommends to all his friends, male and female alike, as furnishing the better half of one's education, and remuneration without measure. D .4th. That.the critic should be absolutely impartial, without fear or favor, while appre- ciative of merit, unsparmg in the correction of faults. Please notice that this says nothing about pie as a means of obtaining remission from all faults. But, to tell the truth, most of the members have reached such a stage that the only thing that can be criticised is their spelling. 5th. That each member's bearing should always be gentlemanly, considerate and encour- aging tothe speakenl Whisgermg, loungingpglibout, mpving abgut tge room, gud allhforms of inattention were to Je stern y repressein. is artic e was a ri f t in its Cay, w en seats were fastened to the floor with two-inch screws, but since the intro uction of be-castorecl, be- springed and be-screwed chairs, it is an utter impossibility to prevent some of the infants from playing horse with them, Zlllfl sometimes the chairs get the better of some of the weaker members as Mr. Gulick discovered when one of them threw him. To those students who are not members: A Z needs some able-bodied men to take the places of Dorsett and Arthur Tappan Reed Cunningham. She has the easiest seats, a fair share of the Kickers, a good large debt, and her principles, as you have seen, are the bestg and, what is more remarkable still, are lived up to.

Some of our greatest philanthropists, divines and lecturers received their first enthusi- asm and oratorical. ability in the literary society. The theological students of Oberlin for some reason have been slow in realizing the truth of the above statement, for the literary society for many years played no prominent part in their course of study. The truth began to dawn upon them at last, and in September, 1887, they organized a literary society which continued in a more or less active state till December, ISQ5. This society was called the Samekh Aleph, and had for its motto, His Truth shall be my Shield. Its meetings were held once each week. The programmes consisted of essa.ys, orations, readings, and debates. The topics discussed covered a wide range. This society was successful in its work till the autumn of 1395, when there seemed to be a dark cloud hang- ing over it, and its members were heard to say, ' Our days are numbered. The men made various excuses for non-attendance at the regular meetings. Some were out of town lectur- ing on moral reforms, some were busily engaged in investigating the character of some old monk of the middle ages, and some, alas! could not come. The number gradually decreased till it required all the members to fill the offices. This was an alarming state, and in despair a few faithful members met on the evening of january 15, ISQS, in the Chapel of Council Hall, and-Samekh Aleph expired--to risevno one knows. Those who witnessed the death of' this once flourishing society were: F. G. Bl.ANi'llAko, V. H. l.Jl':MlNi:, VV. H. YVUUU, H. J. HINMAN, W. A. K. CAMPIIIC Sl LI., W. C. Cmiuc, G. W. Buss, jus. W.

' In October following, the members of the course met together and nominated Mr. W. A. Schwimley president, Mr. D. j. Torrcns vice-president, and Mr. J. F. Moore secretary. It was unanimously decided to name the society Firmey, in honor of him-who labored so faithfully in the early days of Oberlin Seminary to train those who have gone out into active service for the Master. , j' Last year every man in the English Course was a member of the society. The same is not true, however, this year. Some of those who have come into the course this year have not joined the society and have failed to reap its benefits. A All of our members who have graduated are now in active work in different parts of the country. Mr. Thos. Griffiths is now preaching in Fredericksburg, Nebraska. Mr. W. A. Schwimley is located at Penfield, Ohio. Mr. j. F. Moore is at Steuben, Ohio. Mr. j. A. Belanger is at Brookline, New Hampshire. Mr. D. L. Senior is working among his own people in the South. Mr. E. L. Anderson is pastor of the Presbyterian at Chicago, Ohio. Mr. Trcka and Mr. Kubricht will go out from the Seminary to work among the Bohemians in the West. Mr. W. H. Hannaford was with us last year and part of the first semester this year. He was called home by the illness of his father, and probably will not return to re- sume his studies. He now lives with his parents at Benzonia, Mich., and is teaching in the college there. He also supplies two churches in the vicinity of Benzonia. Mr. Evans had to leave us toward the close of the first semester on account of failing health. Our society has proved to be everything we had hoped for. We are assured of a stronger attachment one to another and of a deeper and more spiritual interest in the work before us, as well as the pleasure we have had in our social gatherings week after week. We bid God- speed to those who have left us, and give a hearty welcome to those who may yet join the society in connection with their preparation for service for the Great Master. 33 literary Societies.

She did the most up-to- ' date thing-called in the law-givers, members of the ladies' bench, or board, and , the will was duly written, signed, witnessed, and deposited in Warner's safe conservatory. i This will at last found its way into the present Harmonia Society room, and when it was li opened, Harmonia found that L.

S. had bequeathed to her seventeen daughters. l Push, intellect, and a determined we will succeed spirit has made Harmonia what she is to-day. - It is true, Harmonia boasts no flag, torn by shot and shell, blackened by smoke OJ and eulogized by eloquent society members. She has no Romeo and Juliet balcony like that which graces the southern wall of Alpha Zeta. She may not indulge in the high polish that comes from continued rubbings, nor the society varnish that rattles the president. There are no family albums to amuse the children. No, she may not practice or possess any of these things, but she has brave women who have fought a good fight and have come out in the year 1896 with a larger membership than either of her sister societies. One single professor went down before the resistless power of a Harmonia maiden, and a high school principal from the VVest ran away with another. The daughters of Harmonia, while they do not believe that the proper study of mankind is man, will still consider him in a matrimonial light, as a sort of necessary evil. In this society is found classification, a good thing, but seldom known in musical circles. Her women are classified, not as juniors-oh, no! -nor Seniors, hardly ever, but as a com- pany of earnest workers longing for a broad culture, undertaking duties devolving upon them as society members, and attaining that discipline and culture that comes from demand- ing the best from themselves and their society. flD6mb6l'5.

The streets of her cities and her country waysidcs, though different from those of our own land, have yet the same general characteristics. They are of to-day--more venerable, more solid, more en- during--yet, after all of to-day. But the moment you cross the threshold of Canterbury Cathedral you are in the middle ages. l'Icrc the hero of Poitiers lies. Here Becket gave up his life. This transept embodies the thought of XVilliam of Sens, while yonder in that tower the devotion of Anselm forever bears its testimony. The spirit of the place grows upon you, and before you lcavc this venerable pile your estimate of that age is more definitely, more truly real than it would have been after years of study in your own home.

What lives in my memory most vividly is the private gathering of students in each other's lodgings, the iniinence which they ex- erted on each other, their Saturday rambles or friendly discussions. The Scottish University system produces not so much scholars or specialists, as think- ers. lt tends to develop individuality. The pre-eininent place occupied by thc study of philosophy works strongly in that direction, The Scottish chairs of philosophy have been filled by many eminent men whose influence has tended to make philosophy the most prominent of studies. But the chief effort of philosophy is not to communicate positive knowledge, but to throw men back on first principles. This in- volves doubt and uncertainty of conviction-- experiences with which many Scottish stu- dents are very familiar. But most of them come out all right in the end--through doubt to faith, through darkness to light. l i L r Christian JEvtbence5. Pkolf. G. F. VVkn:ll'r', Oberlin College. lt might have been as easy for the early Christians to establish the authenticity of the four Gospels, as it would be for us to prove that Abraham Lincoln delivered a certain ora- tion at Gettysburg. And yet, when we think of it, it is astonishing upon what slight grounds we believe the latter fact. I have never seen a man who heard that spceehg nor have I ever talked with anyone who had known a single person who was present at that time. Yet we have faith to believe this implicitly. ' You, as students, are setting out on an un- known sea. It is well that it is unknown, else life would be vain and uninteresting. Three things are necessary for success in life: I. Faith in yourselves. II. Faith in your mission. Ill. Faith in the God who has appointed you to your mission. Xvltllflllll these, life will be a disappoint- ment. 4 156 U Z1 Qll65flOl15ll5OI '16ClIlll'6. PRI-ZSllJliN'l' Biu.1.ixN'i'lNi-:, Oberlin College. For a student's general reading a very careful plan should be laid out and firmly pur- sued. The number of books is practically in- finite. Reading must be elective in a pre- eminent sense. As it is the object of a liberal course of study to acquaint the student with all the general principles known to mankind, so it should be the purpose of a liberal course of reading to cover all the greatest master- pieces of literature. ln 1336, Sir john Lubbock prepared a list of the 'One Hundred Best Books' of the world. lf l were a student I should get hold of this list and, with the aid oi' our Librarian, l should make out a scheme of reading for myself so that l should be certain never to be spending time upon a merely good book, when there was a better and more famous book still unmastered. Let the book of the season sink into oblivion unreadg but make sure that you know the immortal masterpieces. v V M . v i Eine 1ReIation of Gburcb llbusic mlb Divine 'twlorsbiw' Plum.

I have spoken of the analogy that ex- ists between religious emotions and musical ecstasyg hut we must remind ourselves that this is only an analogy, that ecstatic de- light, although it he most refined, is not worship: that the mood of tenderness that follows a grand strain of orchestral music is not eontrition, and that those who speak of all good music as sacred music do not understand the meaning of the terms they use. Devotion is not a mere Feeling of ecstaey, it is more than a beautiful senti- ment. It must involve a positive conscious- ness of an object of worship, a reaching up, not to something undefined, but to a God positively revealed and cognizant of the sincerity of the service offered Him. -v- I s0Bll'Ullll JBYHDICQ flllUifOFilllll TLQCYIIYCB. uury rr, I'lmlf. lVl.xR'1'lN-Egyptizm Art.

He was educated at the Universit of Georgia, studied law and was admitted to the bar, but had rac- ticed only a short time when he entereci, the Confederate army as Captain of Infantry. He rose to Lieutenant-General and commanded one wing of Lee's army at Appomatox Court House. During the war he was wounded eight times. In 1868, he was the Democratic candi- date for Governor, and although the election was claimed by his party, his opponent secured the ollfice. He was a member of the National Democratic Conventions and presidential elec- tor in 1868 and IS72. The following year he was elected to the United States Senate as a Democrat. Although re-elected in 1879, he re- signed in ISSO. While a member of ,the Senate he took an active part in the proceedings and was a moderate supporter of Hayes' adminis- tration. In 1886, he was elected Governor of Georgia and re-elected in 1888. After his term had expired, he was again sent to the United States Senate, where his term will expire in 1897. I SQ U. 1. H.

' Halt! you hounds !' the cry rang out: and as Mary glanced back, three or four men were just leaping into the road. But she saw also her companion, his face sutfused with an earn- estness that was almost an agony, rise in his stirrups, with the stoop in his shoulders all gone, and wildly cry: Go! She smote her horse and flew. Alice awoke and screamed. The report of a carbinc rang out. Two others followed in sharp succession, and there went close by Mary's ear the waspish whine of a minie-ball. At the same time she recognized, once,--twice,-thrice,-just at her back where the hoofs of her L01UPll11l0ll'S horse were elat- tering, the tart rejoinder of his navy-six. ' Gol' he cried again. ' Lay low! lay low! cover the childl' But his words were needless. XVith head bowed forward and form crouching' over the crying child, with lips compressed and silent prayers, Mary was rid- ing for life and liberty and her husband's bedside. loo 'Hitler 1RoQaI 'H'llQlJlI65S-ml1Olllill1.

Beecher once rode up the XVhite Mountains on a stage coach. When they came to a stop, he got upon the driver's seat and asked il' he might hold the reins of the four horses. Upon once get- ting the reins in hand hc wanted to drive, and let the horses start. The Journey was very disastrous for a short distance, and when the coach was linaliy stopped, one of the horses stood with its head through a kitchen window. While the coach was under full way a man up in an attic window called out to Mr. Beecher: 'Take a reef in the oi? rein, you old fool! The man in the attic was the kingg he had noticed something that Mr. Beecher had not. 1 . .,x ., i BM ann 'ii ilTfM ' ' 'V , egg XM 27.5. . X lx .

Gradu- ated Oberlin College 1846, and Oberli11 Theolog- ical Seminary 1849. Professor Rhetoric and Belles Lettres, Oberlin College, 1849-1862. Mem- ber of the Ohio General Assembly in the House ISSG-1859, and ill the Senate 1860-1862. Consul of the United States at Rio de Janeiro l862-1870. Member of Congress 1871-1881. Professor Polit- ical Science and Modern History, Oberli11 Col- lege, 1883, Will retire from this Professorship at the close of the present school year. It is eminently fitting, at the retire- ment of Professor Monroe from the Chair which he has occupied so long and filled so ably, that the pages of the I-li-O-I-Ii should hear witness to the love and esteem in which he is held, both by his colleagues and his pupils. First.-We admire him as a teacher. Admirably equipped by nature for this position, his many years of public life have given him a breadth of view and a practical experience, by reason of which his courses have possessed a unique value, far beyond similar work in other institutions. 'l'hose who have elected these courses have been greatly stimu- lated by the freshness and practicality have been made to see just what were Second.-NVe value him as a umfl. His exquisite courtesy, together with his intellectual acumen, have been dominated by a sympathetic and generous heart. He himself has been a daily inspiration and an uplifting, educative influence to every pupil. W'ithin the class room, these qualities, graced by rare oratorical gifts, have enabled him to secure the enthu- siasm and the respect of his pupils. In his study, his warm personal interest and his heartily tendered counsel have been of incaleulable value. Many a debate has bee11 as the result of his suggestions and many a time his resources of diplomatic strategy have pointed out the path by which to triumph NVllCl'l all seemed lost. 'l'hird.-VVe value him i11 the Faculty. As a 111e1nber of that body he has steadily striven to promote high scholarship and to secure effective methods of administration. As chairman of the important committee on outside representation, he has wisely advanced the interests of the College in the state and throughout the nation. His wide experience, his ready wit, his unfailing courtesy, and, above all, his unseliish, whole-souled devotion to the interests of the College, have contributed to the progress of legislation and have softened the asperities of debate. ln the years to come we trust that he may carry out his plans of publication, so that a far wider circle may come to know and, knowing, to admire his noble character.

It was a bitter winter: night and a sharp lake wind was driving the snow, whirling against the electric lights. He was a slightly built fellow and he hesitated a moment at the prospect, then plunged out into the storm and boarded a Euclid car. There was only one other passenger. ' , Hello, old man, he called out, as Graham entered, what are you doing here on a night like this? I,Jon't you know it's any amount more comfortable at the club? I just heard Harris is worse. l'm going out to see him, returned the other, briefiy. The first speaker looked out into the storm, then at the slight figure beside him. Why, man alive, he expostulated, you don't mean to say you're going out to the Lake Front on such a night as this? You can let the nurse look after Harris. I must say I fail to see what you find so wonderfully attractive in that man. Oh, to be sure, he's an easy- going, good- natured sort of fellowg but he could never be depended on. That's where you're off, Adams, replied Graham, with some feeling. Whatever else I-larris may be, he has always been true to his friends, and it would be a pity if our friendship should count for nothing, now that he is dying. The other man seemed hardly to understand the vehemenee of the speaker and did not answer. The car ploughed on through the storm. The motor whirred noisily to the accom- paniment of the windows rattling in their eases. At length the lights of Lake View crossing came in sight. Say, Graham, said Adams, suddenly breaking the silence, is it true, as people say, that Harris began going to the devil when Miss Huntington refused him?-Mrs. Tyler she is now, I believe. People are at liberty to say what they like, returned the other, shortly. VVell, you don't need to get excited over it, replied Adams. Uh, Miss Huntington was an old fiame of yours once, wasn't she? I forgot. Graham rose abruptly, and left the ear. People always said he was a queer fellow-ex- tremely over-sensitive. Two years before it had been rumored that he was in love with Miss Huntington and everyone else but he thought she cared as much for him. But for some unaccounta,ble reason she began to treat him eoldly and their friendship came to an abrupt end. Then it was hinted that Harris had also been infatuated with her, but that she had refused him. Finally she had married a man of her father's selection. He had plenty of money and people said it was a good matchp They rather wondered that Grahanfs friendship with Ilarris had not suffered, though, to be sure, Harris could not be to blame for falling in love with the girl who had rejected his friend. Graham caught a Lake Front CZl.l'. A ten-minute walk brought him to I-Iarris's bachelor quarters-a desolate, one-story house on a bluff overlooking the lake. The housekeeper greeted him cfifusively. It was a lonely place for her and the nurse to spend the night with a dying man. The doctor was just leaving. Ah, Mr. Graham, he said, I am glad you came out. He can hardly live till morn- ing and there is little chance of his rousing before the end: still, of course, they may need you. I hope I can make the next car to the city. It's a wild night. Good-evening. The nurse seemed exhausted, and Graham sent her ofi' to bed, though she insisted that she would look in toward morning to see what she could do. ' 204 literary. He entered the sick man's room. Harris lay unconscious, breathing heavily. Graham stood watching him a moment, then turned to the table, picked up a book, and sat down. He heard a clock, muffled by distance, strike the hours as he sat staring across the room, starting occasionally when some unusually fierce gust of wind swung the flapping shutters with a erash against the side of the house, for fear the noise would disturb Harris. On one such occasion he happened to notice that his book was upside down, and he closed it, and laid it on the table. The clock was just beginning to strike four when the nurse came softly in. For some minutes she regarded the dying man in silence, then turned away. There won't anythin' wake him up now, she whispered. VVe ought to be thankful he don't get to carryin' on. It was perfectly dreadful last night, Mr. Graham. He got to ravin' about tellin' somebody he called 'Alice' how 'Tom ' didn't care for herg and then lie'd just yell it was a lie. But generally l eouldn't make anythin' out oi' what he said. I s'pose it was some crazy notion about somethin' that never happened, most likely, but it was awful to hear him go on. lNhy, Mr. Graham, what's the matter? You look as ii' you weren't feelin' well. Let me make you some tea. Sittin' up don't seem to agree with yon. She broke off abruptly and looked toward the bed. The heavy breathing had suddenly stopped. The first pale light of early dawn was struggling into the chamber and a ray fell across the set face of the motionless figure. He was dead. Graham rose, walked across to the window, and looked out. The snow was drifting heavily across the barren meadows: dark elouds hung thick over the blaek waters of the lalceg from the shore below came up the ceaseless lapping of the waves.

Mr. Hfzwlqy: It has been asserted by some of my friends thatl can reach two notes below the piano, but this is incorrect. In the interest ot' candor, I will say that my record is only one below.

Story. VERY man in Sitka carries a cane to guard himself from slipping on iey places, and it is their curious custom to use for this purpose frozen snakes: that is, in Q winter time. Davidson's cane was conspicuous among the four which stood in the corner of Padrewski's saloon. It was a large yellow and maroon striped snake of beautiful propor- tions, a Christmas present from his wife, anu' the tinest one in town. The other three were the common native black snakes and much smaller. Padrewskrs stove was getting hotter. In fact, the temperature of the place had reached a degree which was disastrous to Sitka canes. All four thawed out. Their owners meanwhile were interested in a second round of Tom and jerry. A snake who has not tasted food for four months is naturally hungry. His appetite demands immediate satisfaction and plenty of it. The three black snakes looked at each other, and IDavidson's big snake looked at them., lJavidson's snake, perceiving that he was larger than they, promptly swallowed them one after the other. Still he was hungry. I-Ie had been a cane for four months. After a moment of deliberation he put his tail in his mouth and swallowed himself.

Your face is as red as tire and you look ready to take somebody's head off. , i Well, I am. I'm so mad at Rexy I could take her head off with pleasure. VVhat's she been doing now? Then, tragically: France, she hasn't heard of that basket we sent out the other night? Oh, no, Nan, it lSI'l't that! This really doesn't amount to mnehg but I've stood just about all I can from her, and it was the last straw. But what was it? Tell us about it, France! put in I-Ielcn Conan, the third girl in the group. Well, you know I forgot the water to-night till after seven. I was simply choked and had to go down after some. I got down all right and back in the hall upstairs. It was just as dark as pitch. QI guess IIam forgot to light up, or something.j All of a sudden I felt someone clutch my arm from behind. NVell, I never was so scared in my life. I screamed as loud as I could, and dropped my pitcher, smashing it all to pieces on the floor. Then I heard Rexy's voice in its most sepulchral tones: 'VVhat are , y you doing out of your room at this hour of the night, Miss 4 'f Gregory? She scared me so I could hardly speakg but I at ' managed to say I'd been down after a drink. 'A drink after l seven o'clock! Never during my entire college course did I go down after seven to get a drink. If I had been careless r enough to forget to bring it up, I went without. Go to your room! I will see Mrs. Johnston to-morrow about this matter of girls getting drinks after seveng' and away she sailed in one direction, and I in the other. Mean thing, l perfectly hate her! t Isn't she just horrid! Never got a drink after seven! I'll bet anything she's done things lots worse than that. She's a regular old hypo- crite, anyway. Nan and IIelen were loud in their expres- sions of sympathy. Iiutdon't Ict's let her .T spoil all our fun! Getout the stove, Nan, and I'll make the chocolate right away. And France seated herself Turkish fashion on the floor in front of the stove where the tin pan of milk was soon simmer- ing: ,Nan piled wafers on a plate, while I-Ielen threw herself down luxuriously on the couch. These three girls were kindred spirits. and very little mischief went on in Talcott I-Iall in which they did not have some share. Girls, I'd just give anything to get even with her! She treats us as though we were in the primary department. If only she'd get tired-or l1I1Il'l'l2'!I', or something, we might have Miss Peck for teacher. IJon't you sup- pose wc can marry her off, Helen? She isn't bad-looking, you know. I'd pity the man who got her. Wouldn't he lead a cheerful life, though? laughed l Nan, busily scooping cocoa into the cups. Speaking of marriages, here's something I cut out of the Urzswlff' I got from home to- l ..s,.

It seems a remarkably good chance. just listen: 'A middle-aged gentleman, of good family and fortune, of spotless honor and unblemished moral character, with a heart full of affection which be is desirous of lavishing upon some worthy object, wishes to enter into correspondence with a young lady of a gay and sprightly disposition. Object 1natrimony.' Isn't that rich, girls? This is an oppor- tunity ofa life-tune. You may never again have the chance of getting a heart full of affec- tion lawgshed upon you. What do you think, my ' gay and sprightly ' France? Will you go in for t e prize? Wouldn't it be fun to answer it, girls? The letters are all sent through the ofiicc of the Gazullc, it says, so he couldn't even suspect where we live, and of course we'd not sign our own names. Let's do it, 'What do you say? I don't know, France. I I've heard lots of stories about girls who got themselves into fearful scrapes by answering those things. I don't believe I'd do it. Oh, yes! Come on, do. And I'll tell you what, girls: Let's send him Miss Rexford's picture, just out of spite. She'd be so furious to think anyone would n'ar1' take such a liberty. It'll be a perfect lark! Q: Good, that's what we'll do! Wouldn't it make her mad, though! Of course she'll never know an thing about it, but we can enjoy thinking how she'd feel if she did. Look out for that millk, France, it's going to boil over ! and Nan seized the pan from the stove 111111 filled and passed the cups. Well, I don't know as I object. No one will ever find out about it, and it would be fun, said Helen, thoughtfully munching a wafer. Action followed swiftly upon words and before the evening closed not only were choco- late and wafers entirely consumed, but the letter, with Miss Rexford's picture enclosed, had been written, signed Kate f Clark, sealed and directed . .

In ten minutes she was back, waving triumphantly in the air an envelope, which was eagerly welcomed by Nan and Helen. ' Girls, I had the most dreadful time getting it. Rob Graham was in the ofiice. fOf all people in the world, he was the last I cared to meet just then.J He actually came up, and with that wicked twinkle in his eye, asked if he could walk back with ine. I simpl ' with- ered him with a look and went on up to the window. I didn't feel so brave as iacted, though, for I was in mortal terror for fear he'd hear me ask for that letter. lVhile France talked she tore open the envelope, and then all three put their heads to- gether over the letter. Oh, girls, isn't it rich! He feels that he has at last found one whose soul is akin to his own. And think of any one carrying Rexy's picture on his heart! ' When I look into those pictured orbs '-orbs, gracious l-' my heart beats faster, all feeling of loneliness in this cold world va.nishes, and a sense of sweet communion, soul with soul, makes the sky of my ex- istence shed upon me sunbeams of hope and possible happiness! And then this: Nothing in this world is single, All things by a law divine In one another's being mingle, Why not I with thine? Girls, this is glorious! Wouldn't Rexy be flattered if she could hear that panegyrie upon her charms? Of course, said Nan, a man who can write that must be a perfect goose, so there's no reason why we shouldn't go on and have our fun without any pangs of conscience. If he'd shown one spark of common sense, I'd have a little pity for him. But it's striking seven. Come, my little room-mate, we must go home and read our Greek. Good-night, Helen. And the two girls left just as the crowd from the parlors began to Hll thc upper halls. The girls did not allow the correspondence to lag, but kept it up briskly for a couple of months. Mr. George Hillard, as he signed himself, continued to give rein to his fanc ' and his rhetoric, in the touching replies he sent, and the three young mischiefs were in high feather over their success in making a fool of him. But finally Mr. Hillard began to hint that the aiiair had gone far enough on its present basis, and that he now thought himself justified in asking his fair one's address. As the excitement was beginning to die out, France proposed that they drop the affair here before the gentleman had a chance to make himself disagreeable. So no answer was returned to this letter, and as the end of the term was approaching, with numerous ex- aminations in prospect, all thought of the matter became of secondary importance. A couple of weeks went by, and Mr. George Hillard and his letters were already things of the past, when one day, as France was looking over the mail on the hall table, she found a letter directed to Miss Kate Clark in the familiar handwriting, and with the ad- dress 'Falcott Hall underneath. Poor France almost fainted at the sight, for she foresaw trouble. Quickly seizing it, she rushed upstairs: interrupted Nan and Helen i11 the midst of the fourth book of the Aeneid, with the startling announcement, Girls, that man's written again, and I'm positively afraid to open his letter. I'm just sure there's something terrible in it. Don't be frightened, dear. I don't believe that poor little man could do anything very desperate. Let me take it. Nan had scarcely read five lines when her face grew white and a horrified exclamation escaped her. Oh, Nan, what is it? I.Don't keep me in suspense! I can bear it, said France, sitting up on the bed and speaking as though giving an order to fire. Oh, what shall we do? He's coming. 1-Ie knows everything. Oh, dear, dear, dear! why did we ever do it? It was fearfully wicked, and now we're punished! just listen: ' My dear Miss Clark: Your silence is quite incomprehensible to me, unless I come to the conclusion that you wish to have nothing more to do with me. Allow me to remark that I do not choose this to be. The matter has gone too far to be dropped.

A friend came in, and seeing it, asked how I came to have a photo- 213 literary. graph of Miss ---, who was a teacher in an institution of learning which I will not more definitely specify than that it is within a half-day's ride of Chicago, my native place. With a few careless questions I managed to find out everything I wanted to know, your boarding place and all, and will have the pleasure of calling upon you next Saturday 70170 yum' Zcflcrx. Very truly yours, f'IlCURHl'1 HII.I,1XRlJ. Oh, oh! wc shall every one of us be expelled! I know we shall, and it's my fault. He's going to bring the letters. Miss Rexford knows my writing as well as I do. Oh, why did I ever do such a dreadful, dreadful thing! wailed lirance from the depths of the sofa- willows. 1 The other girls sat quiet and subdued, having no words with which to comfort her. Perhaps, faltered Helen, he won't really come, but is only trying to frighten you into answerin f his letters. Nofahe will come, I know. l,Jon't you notice how different this letter sounds from the others? He's not such a goose as we've thought him, and there's nothing left for us now but to face the music and take whatever comes. F1'ance's voice became quite tragic as she spoke and took on a tone of defiance. I wonder if they'll let me stay for the rest of the term, or if I'll have to go right away? she continued, faintly. Oh, Francy dear, dou't talk that way! You won'thave to go home, I'm sure. That hateful man won't Marr: come. I-Ie eouldn't. And Nan threw her arms about the neck of her atilicted room-inate. The letter arrived on Wednesday, and in the two days which intervened between its re- ceipt and the fatal Saturday, the three girls went around with such woe-begone faces that all their friends noticed the remarkable change, and as Friday wore away the nervous, harassed look became more and more apparent. What's the matter with the three graces? Rob Graham asked France that evening after supper. You all 'appear to be suffering from a temporary depression of spirits. Let me recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla for that tired-- Rob Graham, you ought to be ashamed of yourself! If you knew what was the matter, I guess you wouldn't make fun of it, and France's voice was a little choked as she spoke. Doltell me about it, Miss Frances. Perhaps I can help you. Two heads are better than one, you 'now. ' Nothing in this world is single, All things, by a law divine, In one another's being mingle, Why not I with thine?' quoted Rob,'with a comical twinkle in his eye. France got up slowly and stared at the young man before her, till it seemed as though her eyes would start from her head. V Rob Graham, do you mean to say that it was yan, that you are--- George Hillard, at your service, madame. And Rob bowed profoundly. lNLxk'i'im Cimsl-1. x -Xl I: if we it ,mx 214 literary. lfnrzzfz' L y1z'z'a Hn1'arz' Lyrfzkz Horan' Lyn'1'1z. UO IQN8. HORACE. Booic III. omalx. lllAl.lNlUl'i.

ETWEEN early evening and midnight, In Oberlin where we're at school, Comes a pause in the d2iy's occupations That is caused by the Ten O'clock Rule. I hear in the boys' room above me The sound of hurrying feet, The slam of a door, as it closes, And a mad, wild rush for the street. From my table I see, in the hallway. Descending the winding dark stair, A couple of jolly good students Who have just been calling up there. A whistle, a rapid departure, And I know, by -their hurrying gait, That they're racing and running together So as not to be out too late. A stealthy step on the stairway And a whispered good-night in the hall, And my room-mate now walks in upon me Who has been out too late, that's all. He puts his feet on the table And he tilts away back in his chair, And he tells of the pie up at Preston's That both he and the boys had there. I-Ie tells of the crowd that was with him. And his stories like sea-billows surge, Of how he and a half dozen others Have been making life weary for Burge. Think you, my sporty old room-mate, That, along toward the end of the fall, The Discipline Committee will not Be onto your game, after all? They know you hit hickies on Main street, They know of your poker games, toog They're aware of your morning prayer failures And at chapel they're looking for you. You think because they don't say much, You are fooling them all right alongg But you'll find, when the end of the term comes You will sing quite a different song. 221 literary.

El matter of Wlerve. y HEY said that Ward had all his money up on the iightg and they said that he was a fool. The Black Pearl had started a hot favorite, but some one was backing the Unknown so heavily that suspicion had been aroused among the supporters of the Pearl, and money was slow in being covered. Ward had remarked that it was tough on the profession not to recognize talent any better than that. The Pearl had fought Paddy Ryan to a draw the year before, and it was an outrage that even money was offered on the Unknown who had no reputation. r So Ward came into the club rooms on Saturday night and offered to cover 815,000 on the Unknown with Si20,0tXJ on the Black Pearly and his offer was taken on the spot. Adams had no use for such rashness and told him so. Ward, you've no business to risk your last dollar on this light. You dou't know the men and you're dead reckless to back the Pearl so heavy. Ward listened, evidently bored. I've seen the Black Pearl in the ring, he said, and he could knock out any man in the State in five rounds. Besides, my money's up. What the devil do I care now? One of the younger men who had been standing near by, fumbling nervously the paper he was trying to read, turned toward them. He looked admiringly at the clean- shaven, in- serutable face of the man who had risked all he had on the fight. Say, Ward, he said, how do you manage to keep so cool? Is it just a matter of nerve? I've only got a few hundred up on the mill, but l'm so deucedly nervous I ean't do a thing. The other looked him over half contemptuously. l'm going to win, he said. But supposing you dou't, urged the younger man, how will you dare go home? 1Jon't suppose I should go home, replied Ward. Let me sec that paper, will you, if you're do11c with it? Did Nancy Hanks win? The man glanced at him curiously a moment as he handed him the paper, then joined a party at a billiard table. IVard looked over the paper, then sauntered past some of the tables, discussed the arrangements of the fight with Adams, and left the rooms, remarking that he had told his wife he should be home early. From the window Adams watched him board the car. , I never knew a man so idiotically reckless, he commented to a friend. He's staked his home and his last cent-what he's spent his life working for-on that fight. The next evening the club rooms were deserted. The officials had selected a large barn on a secluded farm some thirty miles up the river, as the best available spot for pulling oil the light, and a special train had brought two hundred or more spectators to the place. By eight o'cloek the smoky lanterns hanging from the rafters of the barn dimly showed a crowd packed in to the ropes that enclosed the sawdust covered square in the center. VVard, next the ropes, could barely make out across the ring his nervous friend of the evening before, trembling with excitement. A buzzing sound-the crowd was too well trained to talk out loud-announced the cn- trance of the Black Pearl and the Unknown. They made their way to the scales and the weighing-in took but a moment. The crowd sized the two men up at once, and the Pearl was evidently the favorite. A murmur of approval went up from those near by, as he turned to 224 literary. his corner. I-Ie showed no appreciation, however, of the feeling of the spectators. His face was brutal, sullen, and absolutely impassivc, and the crowd whispered that it would be a bloody mill. ' Ward's position was near the Unknown, who was talking with a knot of his backers, while the seconds were arranging sponges and buckets convenient for use. The referee mounted a grain bin. Are you all ready, men? he said. , The Black Pearl was at the scratch in a bound, and the Unknown was not far behind. They shook hands, backed off, the referee called time, and the fight was on. The crowd had hoped it would be a dirty one, and it was. The Black Pearl landed square on the nose of the Unknown in the second round, and in an instant the white gloves were red with blood. The Pearl had considerably the best of it, and as he was being sponged of? between rounds, the nervous man from across the ring made his way up to Ward. Isn't he great! he whispered, pointing to the Pearl. Fresh as ever-not punished a hit. Ward assented ca.relessly. He had been watching one of thc scattered knot of backers of the Unknown who had worked over to the excited man at his side, and now spoke to him m a low tone. A few sentences passed between them, then the stranger disappeared in the crowd. The other turned excitedly to lVard. l've just put up S5oo more on the Pearl at even money, hc whispered, we've got it dead. You're off there, returned Ward. That man was no fool. His friend was paying no attention, for thc next round had commenced. Look there, he cried, excitedly. What's the matter with the Pearl? I-le's lost his head ! and he leaned far out over the ropes, as though he would ward of? some of the blows the man he backed was receiving. ' VVard looked on indilferently. I thought it might be a fake fight, hc said, and so it is, damn 'em ! ' The crowd began to look ugly as they saw their favorite weakening. The sixth round was finished by a blow from the Unknown that fairly took the Black Pearl off his feet. The man next Ward poured out a volley of oaths. Ward himself stood carelessly fumbling his watch-chain. Hell, your money's gone: what's the dif? he said to his friend. The man looked at the speaker. Ward, you're the coolest devil I ever saw. But the seventh round was on. The crowd, forgetful of all danger, in the excitement of the moment yelled, shook their fists at the Black Pearl, threatened and cursed. The Black Pearl, however, his face smeared with blood, regarded them more sullenly than ever. VVard smothered an oath at the fake that was being worked, turned and began making his way to the outskirts of the crowd. One of the club men was not so excited but that lie noticed him and caught his arm. Where are you going, Ward? he demanded. Oh, the fight's over. XVhat do you lose? I didn't have anything up this time. VVhat ails you, man? Wherc's your nerve? You've seen too many fights to get sick over a little blood. Let go, returned Ward, savagelyg let go, I'm not sick. You are. You'd better sit down. A shout from the ring interrupted them, and they both turned back. There were cries of Foul! foul! on all sides. 225 literary. The Pearl's voice, addressing the referee, rose above the uproar. He hit below the belt, damn him! He did not, yelled the referee. Shut up, or you lose the fight. The Black Pearl leaped into the center of the ring, and those who were close by could see the white foam about his mouth. As his opponent squared off cautiously, the Pearl made a rush upon him, broke down his guard, landed a savage right and left on his head, and the Unknown lay unconscious on the floor. The crowd yelled, stamped and threw up their hats in uncontrollable excitement. They could see the movement of the lips of the referee as he slowly counted ten, and for a moment they were quiet. Gentlemen, the Black Pearl wins, he announced. Ward extrieated himself from the yelling mob inside, and stood at the door. The club man joined him. Those men act as though this light was a matter of life and death, he said, contemptuously, looking back at the scene by the ring. Ward drew a deep breath. It's a devilish inconvenient place for a iight. I understand we can't get back to the city till four o'cloek. And they crossed over to the train. H. J. HAsKi-:l.l..

And so to end this constant strain On weary hearts and restless brain, A conference was called one' day. This happened in the month of May. The moderator took the chair With sober step and serious air. My friends, he said, we're gathered here, To catch the Oberlin Idea.

And, then, there rose a learned Prof. With an apologetic cough. He hemmed-he threw his shoulders back And then began,- My friends, I lack The eloquence to thus address This audience upon a quest 228 The like of this. Full many years I've toiled and labored,-yea, with tears To bring before the student shirk The value of good, solid work. Why, eighteen hours are far too few -With graduation yet in view- For lessons that I give each day. I keep at work, and why not they? Life is too short at best I holdg, Labor is real, and so is gold. A man has now no right at all To dilly dally with foot-ball, To play at games like forty-two: When I give lessons, those he'1l do, Or if I find less time he spends Than that required, not any friends With zealous care can save that man.

He spread himself with look of pride, Then sat him down well satisfied. This seemed to move a half a score, And each one clamored for the floor. WVith mild discretion, passing fair, These soon were called up by the Chair. There was the girl with fine physique, XVho, independent, rose to speak. She held that girls take gym who can, And smiled upon the base-ball man. The Annual Editor looked resigned, And said he had made up his mind To work his foes, to work his friends Unto the very best of ends, That nothing might at allfsurpass The Annual of the junior Class.

I've heard your sentiments expressed And to us all it stands confessed We're working each a different way, That soon or late will bring dismay.

He sat him down mid wild applause, He well had spoken for the cause. And so they named-altho' 'twas late A committee to investigate.

HE clock points to ten minutes of tive and the chapel is almost empty. The boys' 5 E part is entirely deserted. On the other side there is a sprinkling of girls: some in groups of twos and threes, chatting busily ovcr the day's happenings, some in- dulging in a slight rcpast of pop-corn or candyg while one or two industrious ones snatch the few precious moments to study upon the next day's lessons. The sunlight streams in through the open windows, and a slight breeze gently stirs the boughs of the elms outside, which have just put on their spring garments ofdelicate green. Old Silas comes in and takes his accustomed scat beside the organ, his charge for so many years. I-Ie is a picturesque figure as he sits there, with his face the color of the wood beside himg his rcd handkerchief knotted about his neck: his elbows resting on his knees, and his dusky face peering out, calm and mildly inquiring, from its dim corner. Now there is the sound of hurry- ing feet, and crowds of girls begin pouring in from the left, while a few boys straggle in on the right and drop into seats in various attitudes of com- fort and ease. The girls make a pret- ty picture in their gay spring gowns and hats of all shapes, sizes and colors. The clock strikes tive, and the bell begins to ring. Classes just dismissed come crowding in, with their arms full of books, the girls looking eagerl around for seats in their already welli filled half of the house. The boys are entering now by the scoreg some with a rush, falling into the first seats they come to 3 others, strolling slowly along, try with the nonchalant air they as- sume to conceal the eager interest with which they scan the other side of the house, for the sight of a particular face under a particular sailor-hat. As he removes his hat on enter- ing, each boy gives that furtive little smooth to his hair, which answers to the dainty little pulls, shakes and pats a girl bestows upon herself as she sits down. The bell tolls. The last stragglers hurry in and drop hastily into seats, and the hum of conversation ceases as the president rises to read the notices.

You may be interested to know that I am the large clock in the court of Peters Hall: I a1n not beautiful, but I am recognized as one of the most indispensable benefactors of the college. just below me is a tire-place which has seine funny marks over the top: perhaps you can tell what they are. I have to twist my neck so far to catch a glimpse of them that I never am quite sure whether they are letters or not. Around the walls are pictures of people, some of them good-looking, some old-Fashioned, but I ca11not tell who they are. I have often wished someone would put in each frame a little card with the name of the person. I cannot go any farther ' without telling you about the people. There are so many peculiar things they do. Right beside the door are the bulletin boards, and it is interesting to watch them read the notices there. Sometimes they look so pro- voked, I am glad that who- ever put the 11otiee up' is out of reach: again they seem excited and talk enthusiasti- cally g and often they laugh so hard that I become very curi- ous to know what the joke is. As the classes change, I en- joy watching the students throng the court 3 they are so busy and energetic. There are certain boys and girls that always come in togeth- erg others that always start for home together, and I really believe I am as disap- pointed as the girls them- selves when the boys do not appear at the accustomed minute. One of the exciting tricks some of the girls play between classes is a unique one, I am sure. They stand on the second floor, lean over the railing, and then, as the boys mass be- low, drop a book or two as nearly on their heads as possible. The result is that they ook up, lift their hats, and say good-morning, and the girls turn away satisiiedq why, do you suppose? At the close of the morning classes, the clean's oflice at 1ny left becomes quite popular among the boys, but the girls never go there. This I do not understand, for both boys and girls go into all the other rooms. At the beginning of every hour, after the court has grown empty and still, I can hear music coming from manyof the rooms: it is pleasant just to be quiet and listen, when there are not too man different hymns at once. My life mi f t seem monotonous to others, but I assure you it is not, for there are always new things anc energetic people to interest and entertain me. 23I N 1 literary. Winter. I.-llborntng.

It happened a year or two ago, whenl Q. N A WM xx was studying music in a classic Eastern city. We were a i ' Jart of four firls 'ust out of boardin f-school, consumed with a desire for a more 91 I y L J ia practical knowledge of music than had before fallen to our lot. Our means were limited, but after much searching we found rooms in an old mansion, once fashionable, now merely respectable, which answered our purpose for light housekeeping. The owner, for some reason best known to himself, had refused to sell the property, or even the furnishings, but allowed an old family servant and his wife to rent rooms on the upper iioors. The lower floor was kept intact. The rooms were never opened except for the periodical sweeping and dusting, and year after year they had remained quiet in their faded splendor. W'e had been settled in our IIGXV quarters but a few week 4, when a small excitement came into our lives. The little hall room, the only vacant room on our iioor, had been rented. The new arrival made no stir. She gave her name as Hoffmann, and quietly, almost silently, slipped into the life of the house. For several days after her arrival I happened to meet her o11 the stairs or in the hall. Sometimes I feared our noisy chatter tired her, and I'ventured to say as much to her one day. She stopped and smiled ever so faintly. No, she said, I do not mind. There was a kind of hopeless apathy in her voice. Her whole figure and air suggested poverty and sorrow. She was perhaps thirty-five, with a pale face and large, dark eyes, and as we stood together she seemed fully a head taller than myself. She wore a close-fitting black bonnet and a veil that streamed over her shoulders, while her black dress was worn and rusty, yet exquisitely neat. ' She seemed so out of place in the whirling life of the city, so utterly forlorn, that, forget- ting caution, I stretched out my hands impulsively. Let me come and see you seine time, will you not? It must be lonely for you here. She smiled again, and the tears filled her eyes as she took my hand between her own. Yes, come, little one, she said, and then turning, she passed swiftly up the stairs and entered her own room, leaving me in a dazed condition as to my extraordinary behavior. One evening just after tea I knocked at the door of the hall room. There was a slight rustling sound within, and then,the door was timidly opened. W My new friend was finishing a frugal lunch, and I apologized for my intrusion. Oh, come in, she said. I am taking only a cup of tea. I noticed that there was a slight Ger- man accent that gave her sentences a quaintness that well suited her. The black bonnet had been replaced by a large, unshapely cap, but I noticed the beautiful hands were with- out ornament save for one ring with a curious setting of fire opals ll.11Cl. small diamonds. The room was severely plain in all its appointments. There was no bric-a-brac of any kind, and the only articles beside the regular furnishings were a shelf of books and a small 235 literary. foreign packing trunk. There was a fascination for me in all she said. I casually men- tioned the rooms downstairs, and spoke ofthe drawing-room with its faded liangings, and the grand piano kept in tune by the whim of the owner. She looked at me eagerly. Think youl might go there some time? she asked. I practice away from here-and yet it is so little I do, she added, pathetically. Oh, why- and then she stopped abruptly. I saw she was disturbed, and hastened to change the subject, and a few minutes after I took my leave. We met often. Once or twice she came to our rooms, but she seemed to shrink from no- tice and chose rather to see us in her room. I became acquainted with the occupant of the hall room as far as I could. She always greeted me with a smile and begged me to come often. VVhen I came from practice in the afternoons she would sometimes call to me through the open door. As I look back those times seem bright spots in the busy day. She had evidently travelled extensively and had a fund of delightful stories and bright bits of description. Not unfrcquently she would read pass- ages from her favorite authors, Goethe and Schillerg beautiful paragraphs from German storiesg and in her lighter moods she even told me fairly tales with an unsurpassed charm. Sometimes she spoke English, but most often she would read from the original, and I soon learned to interrupt where I could not follow. And with a kindness and ready sympathy she would carefully explain any perplexity. Of her own life she never spoke: and I, feeling that there was some old sorrow, dared not touch upon it, though ever so lightly. One afternoon in the winter she reminded me of my promise. I have not been yet downstairs, she said. 'A We will go and you will play for me. W'e entered the long draw- ing-room just as the sun was setting, and the light fell directly on the old piano. VVith a quick step my companion crossed the room and opened ity then seated herself as if to play, but the light faded from her face as she turned to me. No, you play. With a merry conceit I sat down and began a snatch from a half-learned Mazurka. At the end of a long and somewhat brilliant scale passagehshe stopped me. Let me show you, little one, she said. Now play that very slowly, and then I will play it after. I did as she directed and she took my place. See, she said, your fingers are not- what do you say?-supple. And with a brilliant flourish she swept her fingers over the keys from one end of the piano to the other. I was beside myself with amazement. Oh, I cried, you said you could not play, and you can take a passage like that magnificently. Do play for me, please do. But she slowly shook her head. I have the hands for it, that is all: but I cannot read the notes-this is what I learn now. In illustration she played some exercises such as a child might remember after a few lessons. As she spoke she had become my commonplace friend again, and I saw she was shivering in the cold room. She seemed strangely oppressed, and at my suggestion we closed the piano and left the room. ' -lf '76 if il' -X' 'X' 'X' 'X' -X' 'X' 'X' if 'X' Winter passed, and the spring came in, warm and enervating. Miss Hoffmann had come home onefevening thoroughly exhausted, and before morning she lay tossing with fever, The doctor was called, and with professional gravity recommended care and rest. In spite of our efforts, she slowly failed. I grew accustomed to creeping softly into her room at night to give her medicine and see that everything was arranged for her comfort. And some- 236 literary. times she would open her eyes and look the thanks that she seemed too weak to express. I One night I found her restless, tossing uneasily from side to side, occasionally muttering to herself in unconseiousness of her surroundings. There was nothing to be done for her comfort, and with a few directions to the woman in charge I had gone to my own room. I threw myself into an easy chair. How long I slept I do not know, but I was awakened by quick, stealthy footsteps passing the door and the soft swish of silk as it tluttered from stair to stair. I softly opened the door and peered over the banisters: a tall white Hgure stood below, and in an instant it disappeared through the drzuving-room door. In the silence I could distinctly hear my heart beat. In another moment the sound of a piano came from the direction of the drawing-room. Still I did not move. A wild burst of music Hoated up from below, and with that revelation of sound I stole down the stairs through the gloom. The door of the drawing-rooin was ajar and the sight I saw I shall never forget. Seated at the old piano, playing some wild, rollicking melody, was the occupant of the hall room. The light from the deserted street shone in through the window and bathed her in an almost unearthly radiance. It touched to silver brightness the white satin robe she woreg and her long yellow hair was unbound and fell in rippling masses almost to her feet. Her face was very pale and her dark eyes shone like two stars. She was so young and beau- tiful as she sat there, and in humiliation of soul I remembered I had called her old and plain. In the adoration of the moment I could have crept to her side and prayed forgiveness. She did not appear to notice me, but played on and on, as if her life depended upon it. Unly once she spoke. Little one, you will stay with me, will you not? And as 1 promised she went on with her playing. I shall never again hear music like that. Up and down, back and forth, went those beautiful fingers over the keys, storming, striking, caressing, bringing out iioods of melody. I cannot tell what she played, I only know that I sat there drinking in the bliss of it, not even stopping to wonder at the meaning of it all. Nor did I wake to actual existence until she tottered and fell heavily forward. We carried her to the old satin couch in the drawing-room, and there she lay dying. We stood about her as she opened her eyes. She was looking at me. Will you stay? she asked, and again I promised, while, with a wave of her hand, she motioned the others away. The streets were very still, and the clock chimed out the hour. It evidently disturbed her, for she turned to me. It was one o'clock, was it not? she said. Come and sit hereg I have much to say, and I go away-away with the outgoing tide. Little one, you have been kind, and to you I' must tell it, and you shall keep my secret-only alittle while. It then shall be yours to do with as you like. Oh, I am happy-so happy! It has come back to me- my music, my music-- She shut her eyes a moment as if for rest, and then continued: Come close to me, little one, while I talk to you. It is like a lesson that I have had by heart so long, and now I say it to you. All my life Ihave lived for my music. Do you know what it is to love it with a love intense? And, oh! I worked so hard and so faithfully, and at last I came before the great world-the world with its blame and praise-and the praise came to me. Do you know what it is to play so that people grow wild with excite- ment, and then by a touch to send them back to tears? Do you know what the lights and the perfume from thousands of Howers and the smiles of friends and fiatterers.mean? Do you know what it is to have wealth and gifts poured into your lap like rain? All these I had. 237 literary. ' And then there came such a dreadful time in my own Fatherland-a long, long illness, and I awoke to find my brain turned-yes, turned, for my music was gone. My fingers regained their strength, but the notes meant nothing to me. I had forgotten all, and my heart was like lead. The learned men could do nothing. They took money and gave me only dry hopes in return. Rest, they said, I needed-rest and strength. I rested, but what I had lost did not return. Strength came, but not my lost music. And then, like a thief in the night, I stole away from them all to this land beyond the sea, disguised where -once I was so proud to be seen, poor where once I was rich, sorrowful and heavy of heart, and despised by those who once would have been glad to kiss the hem of my dress. And then you came to me, light-hearted Zllld free. I loved you, and I said, ' She shall be my friendg' but I could not tell you then. But you understand, little one. She paused for breath, but in a moment began again: I am dying, but I am so happy. My beautiful gift has come back, and I take it with me. I am tired and I go-oh, so gladly! Let me be buried in this dress. It is the only one of them all that I saved. Draw off the ring, it is for you. It is an heirloom. The opal is the stone of sorrow, but the curse has come upon meg it cannot hurt you now. Keep it always for my sake. And one thing more: keep my name when I tell you my secret. Bend closer. I must whisper it. Idid as I was bidden, and she breathed a name that had taken the musical public by storm a few years before. The artists had striven to do her honor, and the critics had raved in vaing she had carried all before her in three short years, and then as suddenly disappeared from public notice. She spoke once more: It is getting so dark I cannot see you, and it is so still-so still! Let me take your ha11d, little one. All seems strange, and I am so tired! It is not hard to go, the loved ones have gone on before, and they are waiting for me. There is enough for all expenses. You will find it. Remember those who were kind to me. She was whispering now, and I bent down to catch the sweet words that in the greatness of her heart she intended for me: - - Nur ist, als ob ich die I-Iiinde Aufs Haupt dir legen sollt', Betend, dass Gott dich erhalte So rein und-schtln--und-hold. One last pressure of herlhand on mine and a whispered Auf wiedersehenf' and the weary lids closed over the beautiful eyes. ' I sat by her side watching her faint breathing, and as.the clock struck the hour of three I heard a sound as of far-off music. It may have been some imprisoned melody in the heart ot' the old piano, it may have been the far-away song of an earth-free soulg but at that instant her grasp relaxed and her soul had gone out with the tide. .

He rose from his seat, rushed madly away, And soon he found out to his utter dismay, By the looks of confusion on six dusky faces, That little was left for the banquet but cases.

But there in a twinkling occurred to each mind The many fair maidens they'd thus leave behind. They returned to the table to feast upon toast, And in place of pressed turkey, each had his own roast. The president iittingly brought on this course, I-Ie introduced speakers with vigor and force, Who told them of mittens, both old kinds and new, Of thanksgiving parties and foot-ball games too. They were merry and gay, a right jolly young hand, The young ladies smiled while the gentlemen fanned. A clap of the hand, on the table a knock, Soon gave them to know it was past ten o'clock. They spoke not a word. They went straight for their wraps, But their walk home was slow and crooked perhaps. . 239 Not a creature was studying, not even Prof. Hall. literary. E65lD8iF.

And it came to pass in the fifth year of Prexy the Grcat's reign that he smote upon his breast saying,-- 2. Go to, wherefore should I be judge over the men of the land? I will therefore anoint me a Dean that he may judge the men of the tribe of the Seignyours a11d the juun Yours and the Sophites and the Fresh, even as Maadaamjaa doth rule the daughters of the land and Pecque the jonfisher doth rule the land of Kad. 3. And Prexy anointed Azariah the Root to be Dean over the people. 4. Azariah was five and thirty years old when he began to judge and he judged for the space of one year. 5. 1lHe did not follow after the ways of goo It, but ruled harshly, putting grievous urdens on the backs of the people inso- much that they groaned sorely. 6. For when the Bhoys did play Peed Roe, which is, being interpreted, Forty two after the tenth hour, and when they did not go up to the temple to worship and when they did eat Pi after the tenth hour, 7. Then did Azariah send messengers unto the Bho s, saying ' 8. I would, that ye should arise and come unto the temple which is called Peters, even unto the room which I did take from the Review and the A11 Ual. 9. ,And when they had come, Azariah said in many words that they should not commit these sins and he did cry out in a loud voice-Unexcused. io. 9lSo he atiiicted the children of Oberlin. And he persecuted sorely Kub Ber of the tribe of iluun Yours and Web Str of the tribe of Fresh which is called Ghreen, insomuch that they fled from the land for the space of three months. II. Azariah also afflicted many of the tribe of Seignyonrs, vea even jimpson and Cheam Brline and Fyps which is called Miss and Needer Housre and the son of Thom which is called Czesarp CHAPTER II. 1. And in the fifth year of the reign of Prexy the Greatg in the ninth month which is called Sep did a mighty war arise be- tween the children of Oberlin and the dwellers of Add El Bert which lieth to the east in the land of Kleve. 2. And the people of Add El Bert sent messengers to Cheam Brline which is called Byl and said:- 3. Go to, let us each choose eleven men and they shall fight after the manner of the worshipfpers of Pfut Baal. 4. And i peradventure our men shall prevail against your men, then shall the children of Oberlin be our servants: but if fe shall prevail, then shall Add El Bert how down and serve Oberlin forever. 5. And Cheam Brline sent and said, Be it even so as ye have said. 6. 1lThen did the hosts of Add E1 Bert gather together about the sixteenth day of the month which is called Nov, and they encamped against the children of Oberlin near the temple of Aath Letics which is called the graand staand. 7. And the children of Oberlin brou'ght unto the battle many instruments of musick to cheer the hearts of their chosen warriors. S. Then Buurk the Noisy and Orth of the tribe of Samuel and Yllesse which is called the Child because e is small in stature, and many others lifted up their voices and shouted. 9. And all the children of Oberlin shouted with a great shout, crying unto Anabioo insomuch that the dwellers of Add El Bert trembled and were sore afraid. 10. The chosen warriors of the children of Oberlin were Buth Man and Fauver the clatite and Mackmurreigh and Klance and Goold the jaa and Mackdonal and Kell Og and Ful Tohn and Church Hil and Woster and jonber. II. 1lThey began to fight about the third hour of the afternoon and the children of Oberlin sniote the dwellers of Add El Bert hip and thighg 12. Yea, they prevailed against them till the going down of the sun and smote and destroyed them utterly. 13. And the dwellers of Add El Bert became the servants of the children of Guts aub rinbs. Oberlin according to this remain so even unto this day. CHAPTER III. 1. And it came to pass that the men of the tribe of juun Yours gathered them- selves together at the Hall which is called Cabinet, whence do arise divers grievous odors. 2. And they beat upon their breasts and wept sore with grievous lamentations: 3. For it had been noised abroad that the men of the tribe were not I-Iotstutf, yea, that the maidens of the tribe were greater than they. 4. 1'iAnd when they assembled Win Chester the Mike arose and said: 5. Oh men and brethren, wherefore should we be a reproach to all that dwell in the land? ls not our shame known from South Africa even to the Graand Staand? 6. Yea, and even the maidens of our tribe do despise us in their hearts. 7. Let us, therefore, let our beards grow that we may look dignified and that we may no longer be called Phreeks. ,8. 'lTAnd the counsel of Win Chester the Mike seemed good to the men of the tribe of juun Yours. 9. And they made a solemn vow that they should not shave for the space of many weeks, yea, neither should a knife nor any other instrument of iron touch their faces. 1o. 'iiThen did it come to pass after man days that their faces grew unsightly, for they were covered with down. 11. And the maids of the tribe held them in derision and laughed them to scorn, sa fing, 12. Did we not say that they were Phreeks? But now the have made it manifest unto all the childbien of Oberlin. 13. And their saying was spread abroad through the land insomuch that the hearts of the men of the tribe were filled with sorrow. 14. Then did they repent of the vow which they had made, and they did all shave that they might look like men again, 15. Saving only Dun Levi, which wor- shipped at the tem Jle of Phikap and Wither Be, the slabsided, for their beards were comely and fair to see. saying and 2 CHAPTER IV. 1. And it came to pass about this time that the men of the tribe of Fresh which is called Ghreen, gathered themselves together to celebrate the solemn feast which is called Stagparty. 2. They did provide therefore much victuals, even Ois Ters and Pi and Kaak that they might make merry. 3. But the men of' the other tribes were mightily enraged and they said wherefore should these men of the tribe of Fresh wax mightly and think that they are gretestuf? 4. Let us therefore arise and take their Ois Ters that they may know that they are but babes in our sight. , 5. 1lAnd they arose and girt up their loins for the fight. But the men of the tribe of Fresh fought valiantly, and the battle waxed hot. 6. And the men of Fresh took many captives, even Buurk the Noisy, and Simp- son, and VVither Be and Laughrd of the uun Yours, and I-Iankfair Child, the aldwinsport. 7. Then did the chief executioner of the tribe of Fresh, even jaans, take a sharp sword and cut the hair of the prisoners to disligure them and he cut the beard of Laughrd of the tribe of juun Yours. 8. And they did look like unto the Wildmen of Borneo for they were no more fair to see. Q4 'ilBut the battle waxed hotter and hotter and the 1nen of Fresh were dis- comlited. And H1611 Prcxy the Great which is called Wiliamgeigh received tidings of the battle and he was greatly wroth. 10. And he arose and hastened to the place of battle and he tore his beard and rushed about, saying-Oh, men, Iwould not that ye should do these things for ye shall repent of them. Was not a man slain in the land of Indiana? Depart now unto your homes. II. But they answered and said tyep which is, being interpreted, Notbyajug ull. 12. And they prevailed over the 1nen of Fresh and took their Ois Ters spoil and ate them with a mighty feast. 13. So was the pride of the men of Fresh humbled and it remains so even to this day.

And behold it came to pass in those days that the People, who are also called -Iuniorites, dwelt in the land and waxed exceeding strong. 2. So that the high priests and judges of the land, who are called Fakelty, looked on them and said, Behold! Are they not fine? We have not seen their like before-no, not in the whole land of Kollidge is there another tribe like unto this. 3. !lAnd it was even so that the Pecaple grew exceeding vain, being mightily pu ed up with their own greatness, and certain ones among them arose and said: 4. Go to! Enough! Are we not the People? Have not we conquered Mathrevew and Sike? And are not joness-mill and the Ainshunts surpassed by us in our knowl- edge of Barbara-celarent and Observeduni- formity? We beseech thee, give us some- thing hard! 5. Have we not done all those things we ought to have done and left to the Seenyers many things they ought not to have done, so that there is much probation among them? 6. And the People answered, yea, all these things have we done-even more have we done-which, being interpreted, means the night of jun X. 7. 1fTben spake Thatchur, who is called Agee, who was high priest for that year and said, Let'sgetamoveon! Why sit we here disconsolate? Is there this term to be noth- ing new among us? Behold, variety cheer- eth the heart! 8. Why continually worship we the gods of our fathers? Arise, let us make for our- selves a new god whose name shall be the Precedentofninety-seven. Him will we and our children worship. 9. And it was so that this found favor in the eyes of the People and they cried aloud, Hear! Hear! Getontohim! Is not this our high priest great? ' ro. Let us call a council of the elders and wise men that we may consider that which we will make our god. And they called a council-even Bilgoold Sluggite, and Walt- winchester the Hittite, the same who put to Hight, with his mighty right arm, the whole tribe of the Wouldbecuthairites. 2 II. And jonstun the Hivite, and Marshall who is called See Gee! and many more of their wise men called they. 12. INow as they were taking counsel one with another, behold there arose Brown who is called Gee Gee, and spoke, saying: 13. CNow the tongue of Brown, who is called Gee Gee, is smooth and oily and availeth much in the temples of the congre- gationsj. 14. Gad! fellows, I have it! This thing will we do! 15. And wlth one accord the People an- swered, Amen. Thou surely hast it! We will do thy thing. Tell it us that we may begin. And he spake and said: 10. Behold thyself and me! - Arc we not all men qsave Dunlevyj? Yet is thcre much reproach on us in that we have upon our face no hair. 17. And the People shouted, Good work! VVe will have hair upon our face! Verily by the head of the prophet Prexy, will we have long hair upon our faces. CHAPTER II. 1. Now it came to pass after the space of about a month that a division grew up among the juniorites. 2. Moreover was there heard in the land a great sound of hissing and jeering so that the Whiskerites were sorely troubled in spirit and waxed exceeding sorrowful. 3. 1lFor verily their faces were not fair to behold, neither :were their countenances fair to look u on. 4. But the hair which covered them was a mark of reproach even a cursed thing had it become. 5. qNevertheless because of their vow they suffered it.J 6. Moreover the wome11 of the tribe liked not at all this thing which was done, and for conscience sake indulged they con- tinuall in biting words. 7. Vlfherefore it came to pass that the days of the Whiskerites were grievous and full of trouble, as a great sorrow and dark- ness were their goings out and comings in.

T5'1'UlTliII, Professor of Archaeology in the University of Quito. I February 30, A. D. 2943. HE recent excavations conducted by Dr. G. E. There among the classical ruins of Oberlin have thrown a Hood of light upon the customs of the people who dwelt there in the early ages, and are arousing such widespread interest that a brief recapitu- latiou of their strange mythology may not come amiss. Although the gods associated with mortals a11d exercised a great induence in shap- ing their destimes, they dwelt quite apart from mankind, and were seldom seen by them except when the august beings chose to make themselves visibly manifest. The deities dwelt in separate abodes, more magnificent than the palaces of earthly kings, but once a week, at the com- mand of William Gay jupiter, king of gods and men, it was their custom to assemble in the great council hall called St. Peters, to discuss their plans for the welfare of the human race. At these meetings were present not only the gods of heaven and earth, but also the gods of the under world, of whom john Fisher Pluto was king. The gods were endowed with supernatural wisdom and regulated the affairs of men with- out ever consulting their feelings or preferencesg indeed, their wisdom was so great and their reasoning so profound that no mortal could comprehend even the methods b which they arrived at their conclusions. Thus, while they labored to promote 'friendlinessxuetween men and women, they had set apart one day each week on which they should hold no conference with each other. I The influence of the gods on 1nen's lives was, in general, good: but many things they were supposed to have done seem unaccountable to us in the enlightenment of this advanced age. Mortals were governed by a complicated set of laws devised by the gods and rigidly enforced by them. Many of these laws were designed to promote morality, but the great mass of them, as they are preserved to us, go to support the theory of Dr. K. N. Oidiot, who supposes that the Oberlinsians of that date were a primitive race, childish in their actions, and with no knowledge of the rights of personal liberty. The law forbidding the use of tobacco, whiskey, coffee and other stimulants must have been very beneficial, and it is even possible that mankind was then so childish as to require the law which prescribed retiring at ten o'clock and rising at six. Nevertheless, some of their flats are incomprehensible. For instance: The gods utterly forbade the pastime known as pedro when played with cards: but fostered, and, it is said, even indulged themselves in this same game when it was played with blocks of wood. We also have no explanation for the suppression of the games celebrated b the juniors near the end of each year. All mankind were required to assemble twice on the iirst day of each week, but the pur- pose of these assemblies is uncertain. Prof. C. R. Osseyes and others contend, with much weight, that these gatherings took place in what were known as churches, and that the compulsory attendance was merely a relic of the cruelties known as the Spanish Inquisition. But while I grant that this custom and the Spanish Inquisition were alike i11 their essential features-suppression of religious freedom and compulsory conformity to the church--still, I hold that the custom was far from being cruel. All authorities are agreed that the day on which these assemblies were held was the one on which no intercourse was allowed between men and women. From this well-known fact I have concluded that the gods in their pity for men established these meetings that the men and women might, at least, see each other at a distance fthey were not allowed to sit togetherj, and even carry on quite extended conversa- tions by the use of small square pieces of cloth and other .means unknown to us. Some be- lieve that this intercourse was discountenanced by the gods, and say that Frederic Mars was once sent to sit among men, and by his presence awe them into submission. This latter fact is unsupported, and even if it were true that Mars did appear at this time, it may have been A 262 11118 anb tinbe. that he set the example in this custom of Hirtation, as the Oberlinsians called it, instead of interfering with it. The most curious part of their worship was the record of conduct which each mortal was required to present every weck. All the women offered their records to Adelia Field junog while ofthe men some sacrificed to Fenelon B. Plutusg others to Azariah Smith Bacchus, while still others placed their offerings before ohn Fisher Pluto. These records were sup- posed to contain a truthful account of the num ver of laws broken during the past week, but the temptation to lying must have been great, and, to a people so weak and childish, irre- sistible. Indeed, we have a proof that mortals themselves derided the truth of these state- ments in the unique adjective comparison which was brought to light only the other day. An inscription was found consisting of these words: Positive-prevarication, comparative-lie, superlative-weekly report. During their early history the Oberlinsians revered their deities greatly, but in later days they began to regard them as less infallible, and even in some instances openly to ridicule them. We do not as yet know whether this was due to advancing enlightenment or to a sac- rilegious sect called the Annual, which sprang up about this time, and concerning which we know little except that their assembly hall was taken from them and turned into a shrine to Azariah Smith Bacchus. Further research will doubtless throw more light upon this subject. The principal gods of the Oberlinsians were as follows: William Gay jupiter, king of gods and men. presided over all meetings of the gods, and, after the abdication of Saturn, his predecessor, was their acknowledged chief. He dwelt in great seclusion, seldom deigning to consort with men, and hardly 'ever leaving the divine abode. He was pre-eminently the god of life, but his power was by no means absolute, and he was not able to condemn a mortal to suspension or death without the consent of the other gods. Indeed, all his actions were governed by the Fates qotherwise called the Woman's Boardl, and their decrees he was unable to reverse or even foresee. The seven command- ' - I ments which he gave to mortals after their Thanksgiving fes- li5 , 'f tival have been confounded by some with the ten commandments iiffu. . - of the antediluvian Hebrews, but this is erroneous. They were, I gpg 1 i however, the ordinances by which the Oberlinsians modeled ,if X Y' their lives. -. f ff l ' l ,L Jup1ter's personal appearance was imposing, and his flowing r f 1 Ai v M beard has been beautifully described as of a radiance surpassing ' 2 , 5 , I the setting sun. When he shook his luxuriant locks, heaven ,N f f ji ii 'em trembled. His principal image was in the library, and was said N l V N ff to have been so lite-like as to stop a clock. f. V' , 9 1 Adelia A. Field Juno was queen of heaven and exercised even fl' l .- 2 ' more authority than did jupiter. She was primarily the protec- 'ff I ' lk Z K tress of young ladies, and her word was law with them. She was ' A 'S A 2- Gi-. ' . very jealous of Jupiter, and frequently crossed him in his de- L X x cisions. Though she inspired respect and fear among her fol- f A ' ' - lowers, she was not a deity who was greatly loved. She was 1 XY, X much opposed to all intercourse between men and women, and did all in her power to prevent their meeting oftener than once fill ll X a week. ,tl 4 ' R Sacrifices were held in her honor every Thursday, at which l W I ' most of the women were present and discussed each other's sins. 'ill , 'l l In connection with juno the Oberlin literature frequently , T X mentions the Woman's Department. Some have thought this a l 1 ' ' xg sect consecrated to all the gods and ruled over by them: but l'l,i1Q'-,,l!1,, lf U r such scholars have overlooked the significance of the name by lhgj '. i ff which this community is always mentioned. The singular pos- li my ,N fl 1 sessive, Womans clearly shows that only one deity could I, lU'iig 11 -, -:EP ' - e it 263 iv nts A n anb vines. have taken part in their government, and that they must have A belonged to her as exclusively as a horse to its master.

In equestrian statues he is represented in full arlllor carrying a lasso ill his right hand and a branding sceptcr in his left. An extinct anilnal, lCl'l0NVl1 as Freshman, was sacrificed to hiln. W'ilfred Wesley Mercury was the god of light. All his movements were rapid and un- expected. He was chosen as l'l10SSC1lgC1' of the gods and fulfilled the nulnerous duties in- trustcd to him with great fidelity. It was his custom every spring to make a tour of the earth, teaching the people the worship of the gods and promulgating Jupiter's laws. 4 Francis Duncan Apollo was the god of sciellce and manly beauty. He was a radiantly beautiful youth, XVll0 loved the society of lnen. He was also passionately fond of plants, and a small flower called the Kelsius was sacred to him. Azariah Smith Bacchus, god of wine, was the last of their principal deities. He was of a jovial nature, though inclined to think of himself more than of his followers. He, most of all the inlmortals, consorted with men, and solne even believe that he appeared in his temple every daiy from II :oo till iz A. M.

But little thought was glyen to this, and, indeed, his worship seems to have been treated more as a jest thaii as a religious rite. His voice was low and musical, his personal appearance dignified, and his movements graceful. Ile was the patron of the drama and the donkey wasone of the numerous animals sacred to him. Fred Monroe Aeolus was primarily the god of wind, hut also presided over the study of oratory. He was not one of the great gods, anld was frequently chastised by the superior deities for usurping au- thority that did not belong to him. His worship came into vogue late, and never attained any great popularity, although the duties required of his worshipers were few and exceedingly sim- ple. It is related that tl1e Annual once attempted to get possession of his tem- ple, but heblew upon them with his mouth, and as an ancient writer beautifully expresses it, They were scattered from him as twigs before the rush of some angry boar.

September zgd. WIT not how I shall write in my journalle the things I have this daye gone through, but am boldened to try it. When ye coaches were stopped yesternight the whole multitude in the car made a great Rush for the door, all laden with so much Plunder that ye vii. Satehels and ye Parrot seemed a light burden in comparison. Suddenly ye whole multi- tude of nations did howl vastlie about three times, after which they vanished away without doing us any hurte. September 24th. After one night and a single breakfast at ye Place where strangers be kept we did go forth right speedilie to seek another dwelling. Everywhere we saw signs marked ROOMS. At length we seek entrance at a Gay-looking house. Ye good wife greet us with an exceed- ing cheery smile, especially when she knoweth the Baron his Objick. She saith she have ye best rooms in town, and ask us to see ye same. As we go up stairs she made mention of ye Sweet roomers who dwelt with her aforetimes, all ye which, she saith, having gained great Renown for their studies be now in service of ye churche. She sayde she had never let go her rooms less than iv dollars a week, but by reason of ye Baron his noble look he may have it for iii dollars, which she sayde was exceeding Cheappe. Ye Ist room was chiefly noted by absence of ye overhead plaster. She sayde ye plaster hath been talked off by the ardent words of ye pious Boothnian which he spake after that he was come back from ye Michigan game and from ye vows which he made after practice games of ye Varsity Foot Ball. Ye Baron ask if Varsity Foot Ball be ye God of ye native. She made answer that she wit not for all, but that it surely be ye God of ye Boothman and ye Satan of ye first church meeting- house. There be also a great dent in the floor which she sayde was made by ye Bill Cham- berlin his Head, when ye same was fallen out of bed. Ye iid room showed a vast Hole in its carpet. Ye dame saydc this room was aforetimes occupied by ye Charminge Boby Up- ham and ye hole be merely ye place in front of ye Looking Glass which she will cover by a gourgeous rug. She showed us also yet another room for which she asked ye mightie price by reason of its having erstwhiles been occupied by ye Great, ye Magnificent, ye Charles Thomas Tinker. Ye Baron chose ye second room. Ye dame says we shall find good Eatinge at ye great stone prison near the corner. 1September 25th. To-day we went to a great stone building that did seem ye gathering place of ye natives. In ye middle of ye Court stands a vast, tall native with wide shoulders and ye little nar- row moustache. lVe hear sundry natives speake of him as a math. prof. Ye Baron goeth up to him and sayeth sweetly, Gentle sir, we come to see the sights of this goodly countrie-- but ye math. prof. look exceeding fierce at ye Baron and interrupt him, saying, Have you had Logarrrrithms? Now ye Baron be sore afraid for recollection of ye Bottle in ye old trunk, and so he answereth right humble, Prithee, gentle sir, I always be a temperate man, tho' I did have ye thing whereof ye speak quite lightly after ye crowning feast of ye good Henry IV., but for ye last year I have not touched ye single drop. An' it please you, fair math. prof., continued ye Baron, when ye fierce native breaks in, I will teach ye Freshmen to mock at the Facultee, and ye math. prof, did trye to do up ye Baron, but therein he was most mightilye fooled. 270 Lite anb rinbs. By good hap none of ye other natives noticed ye Battle. Across the court stood a mel- ancholie-looking native with gold eye-glasses and gray moustache. He also asked ye Baron if he knew Logarithms. Ye Baron perceiving thathe had answered the first savage amiss, replied that he knoweth ye whole logarithm family, especially ye old man logarithm, who was his deare friend. Ye Baron perceiving that he still be on the wrong track, sayde now that he comprehended the word, he wit well what sort of beast it be sith he had hunted them many times on ye coast of Patagonia and hadde caught xii at ye single haul in a trap. At first ye native seem sore perplexed, but soon he bethought himself to ask if ye strange coun- tree contain other mathematical wonders. Ye Baron making ye good guess sayde this lande be the very marvel of mathematicians. And the inhabitants, sayde ye melancholy native, Do they speak the symbolic language of ye Dutch Logick Books? In sooth, gentle sir, answered ye Baron, they wit no other tongue nor let any stranger speak save in their own wise. Ye Baron further telleth him that all the citizens of this Lande be great mathe- maticians. For beasts of burthen they make them use of large fat Parabolas. When they go to their churche they leave the parabolas at ye door tied to posts by their asymptotes and equations which serve as straps. Ye little logarithms are wont to run abut and bite ye legs of ye parabolas, for which cause ye citizens trap ye little brutes and fry them. The other article of diet be chiefiy tangents, and the various products of multiplication. Game is abundant, and when as the citizens will hunt they take full many ot' ye equilateral dogges of ye lande which they send in pursuit of ye isosceles jack-rabbits. If ye equation of ye dog intersects ye equation of ye jack-rabbit then ye rabbit is caught, but if there be no point of intersection then ye isosceles jack-rabbit getteth away and ye dog is called a locuss. September zoth. Ye melancholie native cometh early this morning to invite us to a dinner party at his house. Thus at evensong we go a vast journey eastward to his dwelling. Ye Baron be ex- ceeding affright when he sees ye tighter of yester morn among ye guests. Ye second guest have much hair on his face, gold eye-glasses and ye little skull cap. He sayde to ye Baron, Brother Munchausen, do ye love Botany, have ye been in the West, and do ye vote the Prohibition ticket? Ye Baron replies that he do sincerely love Botany and was pained to learn of ye recent sickness of ye same. Ye native looks sore amazed, but ye Baron goinge on to say that he was born in yeWest, and that he vote ye Prohibition ticket three times a day, he quickly decides that ye Baron be a noble hero. Ye Baron, wishing to please our new friends, mentioned his wonder at ye mightie form of ye math. prof. native. Ye native telleth that he be the descendant of ye hardy mountaineersg that in his youth there be in his village a vast church so high that no one could throw to the top thereof save his brother and himself, his brother throwing to ye eaves, and himself clean over ye steeple. Then ye Baron tells how when he was in Patagonia he threw ye loaded hay-wagon half a mile. Ye native pauseth a minute when ye Baron hath ended this tale, and then he saith that on two times he have himself without aid stopped ye mouths of Max Burke and E. V. Grabill when ye same were in full operation. When ye Baron hears this he must needs own himself compleatly beat, for he knoweth no tale to compare thereunto. While Foode was taken I learned that all ye inhabitants of this countree be divided into ii classes. First there be ye Great Lords and Rulers called Facultees. Ye second class be miserable slaves of ye Facul- tees, unto whom they be sent of their parents to receive grievous torment to the end that they 271 Guts anb tinbs. may thereby be fitted for ye future life. Ye torment seemeth to be by heat sith ye slaves be called Stewedents, and ye Facultee ever exerteth itself to make them hot, and moreover ye Facultees often speak of cooking their stewedents for tests, and of roasting them for their behaviour and firing them for their misdeeds. The administering of Torment busyeth ye Facultees about iii hours of every daye, but all ye residue of their time be given to much joye and blessed sleepinge. This Torment seemeth also of various kinds, and those who use the milder forms be called Snaps, which seemeth to be a term of affectionate enclearment among ye stewedents. Ye users of more grievous kinds be mentioned with sundry other Terms the which I will not write down in my journalle.. Over all the Facultees rides a great chief called the President? lVhen ye Baron heareth them make mention of this chief he winks at me right knowing, and then he saith to ye natives, An' I were chief in this Laude I hadde built me a guillotine wherewith ye Facultees might cut off the heads of all who come tardy to receive torment. Allso I hadde bought every year an hundred mustangs whereupon ye Facultees should ride about. Ye math. prof, native smiled vastlie, and then ye Baron, lookinge at ye Prohibition native, add that he would also make a law that no Faeultee should work more than ihour a day. The native sayde Amen, Amen, brother Munchausen, with such strengthe that ye hoste got up speedily to see how many shingles be thereby knocked off the roof, and thus the partie was ended. I I September 27th. This morn, as ye Baron cometh home from breakfast, he meeteth ye Madam of whom we have often heard. Ye Baron being right desirous of meeting ye Dame, raised his hat in gentle courteousy, to the which she made answer by an Icy Gaze. Ye Baron, however, turneth himself about and cometh along behind her, softly and unconsciously talking unto himself about ye noble Atmosphere of ye Dame, her magnihcent Poise, and sundry other items which must in sooth have been right weighty, for soon she looketh back without ye Icy Gaze. Then she taketh from her pocket i kerchief, the which she letteth fall to the ground, to the end that it might be picked up by ye Baron, who did seize upon it with much Grace and Courtesy. Right so did she pass her parasol unto him, and thus their Conversation began. Ye Baron sayde he be pained at ye weary look on her face. Ye Dame replied ye weary look be due to ye outrageous Girlles which hadde fain walk on ye Sabbath day contrary to ye venerable Rule which ye Old Fogys laid down in 1S1o. Ye Baron saith such Innovations be exceeding unrighteous, for peradventure an' ye Girlles be allowed to walke about on ye Sabbath, then must many of them escape ye regular weekly headaches which form a large part of ye present observance of ye blessed daye. Ye dame further sayde if they walk about, belike they do get so much fresh breath that they shall lose all effects of ye Sacred Air of ye first church meetinge house which hath been preserved from week to week since ye very foundation of ye building lest that it be contaminated with ye outer air which containeth sinful oxygen. Ye dame sayde ye Cunninge Giles Brown beateth all his predecessors i11 ye preservation of ye Sacred Air which hath thereby attained unto a Perfection fitting it to knock ye spots off an Egyptian tomb. Ye Dame saith that she also be worried over ye Ben Stanton, and over ye Bill Upton, and most 'especially over ye President, who setteth the stewedents grievous example by reason of walkmge with his wife after supper. 'Z' The same is to be carefully distinguished from ye service of ye heathen god HFFCCCGEIIIH-8 kind of ancestor worship in which ye natives surpass the Chinese. 272 Guts anb rinbs. y Then ye Baron telleth her that an' he were chief in the lande he hadde made a Rule for ye Girlles whereby they shouldlrender account of every each Breath, so that every week it should be known how many Breaths every Girlle hath spent with walkinge or with talkinge to a Girlle or to a Boye or with eatinge or with any way soever, and that in every case every Breath beyond the regular number should be a Failure. Ye Madame throweth up her hands in joye and saith such a scheme hath been ye Ideal of her whole life, and she hope ye Baron may be spared to carry it out. In the afternoon ye Baron went to see ye youthfulle English native torture ye Rhetoric divisions. VVhen he was come home he taketh down ye Parrot and teacheth him to say, Simplicity is ye great thing, Harvard is ye great School, and Above all, be simple. Ye Baron saith that when these -words be learned then will ye cunninge Fowle be perfectly fitted to conduct class in place of ye native, if peradventure he be sick or gone out of town. September 28th. This day marketh ye bad time for us. Early this morning ye Baron got himself forth to meet ye Greekist to get him his Vote for ye President as he hadde ye other Facultees. He seeth ye Greekist on an ancient wheel and maketh him a profound bow. Ye Greekist respond with a quick move of his head, as if to bite at a fly. Ye Baron saith this be a line daye. Ye Greekist say at any rate it be too good a daye to waste on chattering. Ye Baron saith he come to this land to learn the truth about-but ye native interrupt him, saying that then should ye Baron have been on hand to hear ye recent lecture on Impostors. After a pause ye Baron again starteth ye conversation with saying ye Dean be a fraud. Ye Greekist says he be dead right and ye Baron being thus encouraged asked ye Greekist why then ye Facultees do not Root him out. Ye Greekist reply that that joke hath attained ye venerable age whereunto ye teller thereof must do ye laughing while ye hearers look sick or get themselves away, which latter he forthwith did, leaving ye Baron aghast at his incivility. Ye Baron hath also been unfortunate with ye philosophical native, which he did meet at a partie ii dayes ago. He ask ye Baron whether Hegel or Lotze be the greater man. Ye Baron making exceeding naughty and stupid guess saith he never saw ye gentlemen, but once some years ago, and that then ye Hegel, by reason of his light weight .gloves and low- hitting tactics, did so grievously use up ye Lotze in iii rounds that ye same must needs be carried home by his friends. Ye native seemed sore amazed, but when he heareth that Lotze be conquered by Hegel, he loseth all patience and faith in ye Baron and sayde that viewing this man as a whole he naturally falls into two divisions and a conclusion: ye first as to ye powers of psychological observation, and ye second as to ye Ethical probity and ye Conclu- sion, to wit, that ye noble Baron be both Fool and Knave. Ye native sayde ye suggestions for treatment be quite obvious, but that he will explain them further so soon as hc can go home and get him his axe. Whereupon ye Baron ariseth with great haste and cometh home right quicklie. November Ist. At ye last night's meeting of ye Facultees ye Baron be elected President by ample majority, and when in his Speache of acceptance he mentioneth his skill in using ye old tomato cans ye chief of ye howling natives qye fierce red-whiskered one! stancleth up in ye place and move that ye election be made unanimous to the end that they might knock ye Financial Stringency the stuffing therefrom. Ye Facultces pause first to fire ye Greekist and ye Philosophical native, and then carry ye vote unanimous. And unless ye tomato cans cease from off the earth we hope to live in this Laude many years in Honor and Happiness. 273 s anb rinbs. fllbinutes of the 1bi-N-1bi JBoarb.

The fact is, these hackless piano stools arc not only uncomfortable, but they do positive liaruuespeeially to the young, Iafying the foundation lor serious trouhles in after li e. No one will compel a child to sit and read in a hackless chair. No Board ol' Education would he tolerated for a inmnent who furnished school seats without hacks. And yet we use such seats at the piauo, and wonder why the daily practice is such u source ufwenrincss. The ordinary piano stool gives no support: the ordinary chair at the piano gives support at the wrong place-as had as no support, hut the perfect adjustable Piano Chair gives support. and gives itat the right place-just where the buck is tired. Piano and vocal teachers ought not to neglect any provision against the nerve-exhausting tendencies of their profession.
