UT we, not like the iiower, budded forth with the courage and valor of Mars himself' to form our Senior Class? iii?-itbili This class, which is by far the strongest of' many moons, came into life on the sixteenth day of' October, 1901. We assembled in one of the rooms of Rawlings Institute, and it is a task indeed to try to describe this first meeting and the strug- gles that we had in choosing our officers. At first- it was hard to get any one to speak, but before the meeting adjourned we had more speakers than listeners. After much talking, voting by ballot, and such freedom of actions as characterize presidential campaigns, and all domestic proceedings, we unanimously elected as our president the fair and beloved Gwendoline, who has man- aged to keep her dignity long enough to win the admiration and affection of each girl. After the president had been chosen the election of the other otiiccrs was a minor affair, and there being no more business on hand, we adjourned. VVe feel that we have a class that excels any that has ever graduated from this venerable institution. Now, as you must know, we have girls in our class who are exceedingly bright, and, in fact, literally sparkleg on the other hand, there are some who literally blaze when rubbed the wrong way. Just when and where each of our seniors was born we have not ascertained, since we deem, it satisfactory in this case only to pre- sent evidenee that they were born somewhere at some time gp but we do know that they were born some time since the war between the States. Soon another meeting was called to decide upon our motto, select the colors and choose a flower. After many suggestions we decided upon tt Labor Conquers for the motto, and gold and garnet for the colors. Each of us had her favorite flower, but the simple red rose, an emblem of true love and its ever essential attribute, jealousy, won the day. Though we have few privileges, yet we are very much envied by the Juniors. They should remember that the time will soon come when they will be dignilied 'tSeniors, and then they will have the pleasure of going down the street alone if they will promise not to be frightened at the sight of a boy or smile at him unless he smiles first. I do hope that if they go into the post- otfice they will be careful and not get caught, for if they do, we know by experience that so hard will be their downfall they would sink even in the Dead Sea. The privileges that we have most enjoyed are the receptions which we have been allowed to have occasionally. I will attempt to tell you about the last one we had. iVe dressed in our beauti- ful evening dresses, and you all can imagine how beautiful we looked--not thinking of our looks at present. lVe were allowed to invite our friends, which added a great deal to our pleasure. The refreshments were of the most refreshing kind, served by pretty little waitresses in dainty caps and aprons. It was alto- gether a very swell affair, and we sincerely hope our successors will continue to give these delightful receptions. The gloomiest time of a school-girlis life, and especially that of a senior, is the days of the horrid examination. IVe enter the room with pale lips and the brightness of yesterday has faded from our faces, but, as the old saying is Every cloud has its silver liningf' even the examination day is not altogether gloomy, for when the results have been posted and we see our names among the list, the clouds disappear from our faces and the brightness bursts fbrth like the rays of sunshine. Though we sometimes spoke of our classes as bores and of the delightful day NVll0l1 we would have our bonfire and burn our books, yet it makes us feel very sad since the day has at last come and we know we have spent our last days at old Rawlings. In my first joy of freedom I feel that I could talk on forever, but I must resign 1ny place to our prophet, who has consulted the oracles and stands ready to gladden us with pictures of happier days.

No, unfettered and happy I'll remain till I die. FANNIE KIQSDALI.. Old Fannie, as a mimic you have always been line- In goodness and badness you have led every line g And though you may hope that the older you get, The better and wiser yon'll be, but yet' There's no other fate for you in store Than peddling a monkey or running a show.

I can see myself' many years in the future sitting in my library, looking intently over a series of books that are being widely read for their eloquence, their power of analysis, their character painting, and their noble thoughts. The author of these books is recognized as a writer of great ability. The following summer I visit in the old county of' Warren and one beautiful day while driving I pass a typical country home, shaded by grand old oak trees, that my friend tells me is the home of' the gifted authoress whose works we had been discussing. As we draw near I admire the old-fashioned garden, glowing with blooming flowers. On a rustic bench, under the shade of a tree, a lady is seated, and near her stands the 44Gil1'dQll01'.,, Imagine 1ny delight and surprise when in the graceful form I recognize the Prophet of' the Class of 1902, Lucy Mason Holladay.

Antl our ehieftlesire now is to share with you a little at least of' our overwhelming enthusiasm in the light. Class mlay is a departure in the annals ot' the Rawlings Institute, and we beg that you hear with us in our inexperienee, remembering that at best we are only sehool-girls. We heartily welcome our school-mates who have shared our trials and pleasures during the last term, ancl especially the members ot' the Junior Classy for when another -lune has rollerl arountl they will stand as we tlo to-clay, on the thresholtl ot' lite, with the same antieipations, the same hopes antl the same fearsg antl we, just as you, our oltler friencls, receive us to-clay into your ranlts, will eagerly wel- eome them into ours. NVe feel tleeply honoretl hy your presence to-clay ancl appre- eiate the interest you manifest in us. Perhaps, in years to come, you will attentl the class clay exercises of' those who will firllow in our steps antl will have gainetl hy our inexperienee, but no matter how perfl-et their exercises may he, always l'Clll01llll0l' that no heartier welcome was ever given you than that ot' the Class ot' 1902.

Dr. Johnson, the Principal of the Seminary, met me and brought me up to the Seminary, which is halfa mile from the station. After supper I unpacked, and then retired. October 4.-I have been in Melburn only two weeks, and it seems like two months. I had a very bad spell of ,home-sickness, but managed to pull through it. My chum, Emma, says I am very eoneeitcdg but it' she knew how mueh I dislike my faults and work against them she wouldn't say it. November 2.-I have been so busy I haven't had time to write for a long while. I had some fun yesterday. It happened this way: YVe had ice cream for dinner, and I suppose Miss Kate made too muehg-any way, there were about three quarts left in the freezer, sitting on the back porch 3 and during retreat, Emma, two other girls and myself' stole around to the kitchen, got the freezer, carried it up to our rooms, and then came the feast. November ISU.-I had a real nice time Thanksgiving. All the rules were suspended, we could even go shopping without a ehaperon. Miss Kate gave us a. splendid dinner, consisting of turkey, cranberry sauce, celery, rice, several kinds of vegetables, pumpkin pie, ice cream, cake and coffee. December IO.-It is almost time to go home for the Christmas holidays, and I am so delighted. Last Friday night, about twelve o'clock, a cat got out on the root' of the porch that runs along just under the windows of' the dormitories. The girls thought it was some one trying to break in the house, so they all with one accord began to yell. The teachers came running down the stairs, and Miss Bailey, the matron, walked up the hall, with a hair switch in one hand and a hot-water bag in the other,'and told thc girls. to stop crying and compose themselves, as it was only a caff on. the roof: . I , . 'WK S. -1 January 5.-I have just returned from my visit home. I spent a very enjoyable Christmas. Of' course Santa Cialis came to see me. I went to two Christmas trees, also attended a New Year's party. February 20.-I have been so busy preparing for my examina- tions I haveu't had time to write in my diary. I had six exami- nations, and failed on two, Rhetoric and Literature. It certainly did hurt me, as it was the first time I had ever failed. April 2.-NVC had lots of' fun yefterday. YVe got up at three o'cloek and went down in thc dining-room. The first thing we did was to tie all the teachers' chairs to the tableg we then put' molasses in the vinegar eruet and mixed salt with the sugar. Then we went to the pantry, ate nearly all the preserves and pickle, cooked the chickens they had saved for Sundayls dinner, and tried some cotton-batting batter-eakes for Doctor soon as it was day we all went to Durphy's woods and spent a very enjoyable day. May 25.--Dr. Johnson has two large strawberry beds in his garden, and it makes us so hungry for thc berries to see the pick- ers in there all day and know we can only get a few on Sundays. But last YVednesday night we all had a plenty. When the ten o'elock bell rang, every girlis light was immediately extinguished. At twelve, twenty girls assembled in 1lCnnna's roomg from there we went into the garden, across the cabbage patch, to the straw- berry bed. Atter eating as many as we wanted, we came out, purposely leaving the gate open. The next morning we heard Dr. Johnson say that the cows had gotten in his garden the night before and damaged his cabbage patch and strawberry beds very badly.

So no wonder all the gods and goddesses were in a high state of excitement 011 receiving invita- tions to a grand dinner to be given by Zeus himself on the evening of the fifteenth of January. But there was one god who felt especially elated, as Zeus had shown him additional honor by choosing him Master of Toasts for his dinner. This tbrtunate one was Prometheus, the son of Iapetus and Clymera. He was a very handsome and witty youth, and accordingly had been made much of till he had come to think himself quite a lion. Zeus' home on the evening of the fifteenth presented a strong contrast to its surroundings. On the outside, all was cold, bleak and dreary-the mountains being covered with snow and no signs of life being visible. On the interior all was warm, bright and beautiful, Zeus' home being furnished in the most magnificent style, and the handsome gods and beautiful goddesses moving along in a graceful procession to the throne on which Zeus was reclining, and there, on bended knee, receiving from him a word of welcome, formed a grander picture than ever artist could portray. Though Zeus was very eold and hard hearted, and was much feared by his subjects, he had a passionate love for his daughter Hebe, who was considered the loveliest goddess in all Greece. He became intensely jealous at the thought of her caring more for any one else than for him. Now, strange to say, this was the first time Prometheus had ever seen Hehe, and naturally he did the very thing he should not have done-fell in love with her at onee, and took not the least pains to conceal the fact. Hebe, too, was charmed with Prometheus' chivalrous manners and gallant bearing, and for the first time in her life she tbrgot her father. Zeus, upon noticing the turn affairs were taking, called Prometheus to him and reproved him severely for so tar forgetting himself as to think he was Hebe's equal, and for treating her as such. Prometheus apparently received this rebuke in the most gracious manner, but when the time came to give toasts he said the most satirical and cutting things, which, though said in an indirect way, were un- doubtedly aimed at the great god himself Zeus, with a patience unusual for him, waited quietly till the last guest but Prometheus had departed 3 then he poured the vials of his wrath sevenfold on Prometheus' unfortunate head. This offered a good excuse for getting Prometheus out of his way, so Zeus at once ordered him to be punished in a way that would seem most cruel and wicked now, but it was nothing unusual among the gods to punish one very severely for the slightest offense. Zeus had Prometheus banished to a lonely island, and left there to starve. But the old saying that Love works wonders H eertainly proved true in this casey for Prometheus had been on the island only two days when a ship came sailing up with no one less on board than Hehe. She, having discovered where they had sent Prometheus, had managed, through the help of friends, to procure a ship, and had sailed immediately to rescue Prometheus. He and Hehe then went to the bright, sunny country of Southern Italy, where they made for themselves the happiest home in all the universe. U. I. G. ISTEN to the ringing of the bell- llising bell.

M K K LYD I A. PON 1'CLlClllllg home from college for vacation my first - thought was always to make the few necessary prepara- tions tor starting to my grandthther's home, near S., in the dear Old Dominion. I, being the only grandchild, was the pet ot' the whole plantation. To be petted is one ot' the most delightful things in the world to a college boy who for nine months has had to tt look out for number one. How refreshing to stretch his listless length i' upon the coo,l, green turf, and day- dream, doze, or read tnot Calculus or Mechanics, but the volume of his ehoicej, or roam through the woods in search of' tiowers and rare birds l One evening I received an invitation from a friend ta college fraternity matej in NV. to spend ffhorse-show week with him. He was a fine fellow, one that we all loved, always in high spirits, always ready to help a brother out ot' a scrape, and always on top when exam. time came. i Naturally I was delighted, and made innnediate prepa1'ations for leaving. My grandparents regretted my leaving so soon, but, as my summer had been so quiet, they were glad for me to go where there was a chance ot' a little gayety before college reopened- NV. is situated in Piedmont, it is a town of about sixteen hun- dred inhabitants 5 its sidewalks are shaded and cool, and no one is in a hurry. I reached this ideal little Virginia town at about sunset. I was met at the station by my friend, Guy Dunnington, and it did me good to feel the old frat. grip and to note the expression of' genuine pleasure that animated his handsome face as he said, Park, my dear old man, how glad I am to see you I Ten minutes drive brought us to Lydia, the old family homestead. It was situated on a high hill at the edge of town. Standing on the lawn and looking toward the west, I saw the Blue Ridge, behind which the sun, which had left 'ta streak of glory in the sky, was sinking. Looking toward the north, I saw the Bull Run Mountains and the historic battle-fields, once so red with blood, now clothed in ve1'dure. Through a gap in the mountains the little town of Manassas could be seen as the last rays ot' sun- light touched the tin roots. In the east, far and dim, was the blue tide-water line, which, had I known nothing of geography, I should certainly have thought was the Atlantic. The lawn was large and level, densely shaded by ash, maple and aspens. The grass was closely cut, except in the southeaste1'n corner, where there was a terrace about ten feet high, covered with honeysuekle 5 a climbing rose and a wild grapevine had mingled over a stunted apple tree, and a mountain ivy had covered itself with pink and white blossoms. This corner of' the lawn was known to the inmates ot' Lydia as 'f Madison, getting its name from its rural aspect. The house was large and conveniently arranged, furnished more for eomfbrt than for beauty-large Morris chairs, old-fash- ioned sofas with an abundance of downy pillows, low tables and shaded lights. To the right of the reception hall was the library. At a desk, bending over a book, was a girl of about seventeen years of' age. Her dress was pure white, her eap also was white, with a little frill of lace on top fevidently her head had been shavenj, which was amazingly becoming. I had never before admired a girl with a bald head, but the dainty cap, the dainty dress, the dainty gi1'l ! She was not a queenly beauty, but a model of' a sweet Virginia girl. She was deeply interested and seemed not to hear us. Guy suggested that I freshen my toilet before meeting the other members of the family. I-Ie took me into a sweet little chamber which was entered from the library. A shaded candle was burning in my room, the eur- tains to the bed and windows were of white, the wall-papering was of' green and gilt, a vase of large red roses was on the table and their bright faces seemed to murmur 4' NVeleome. XVhcn we returned to the library the girl was not there. Guy said, 4' W'onder where Dollie is. It was she whom you saw when we came in. She put those roses there and lit the candle, nobody told me so, but it looks like her work. She is a strange combina- tion. Never hears anything when she reads, a typical book- W0l'lH 3 still as lively as a cricket. By this time we had reached a rustic bench and began to chat of' old college days. Soon his mother, father, little sister and brother, and Dollie joined us. Of all the homes I have ever vis- ited it seems to me that Lydia was the most charming in every way. After tea, Guy and I went to call on some girls from Baltimore who were spending the summer in IV. YVe returned at about eleven o'clock. As we entered the lawn at Lydia we heard the strains of Intermezzo and a sweet voice, trembling with emo- tion, singing as if the song were the embodiment of' its sentiments, 4 '4Avc Maria, hear my cry ! The song was almost finished when we reached the casement and saw, seated at the piano in the moon- light, Dollie! I heard Guy mutter something about '40, why will she sing that thing ? - NVhen she saw us she smiled gaily and began to play our Frat. Two-Step, then our 4' Rowing Song, 44 Boola ! The W. V. A. Two-Step, and the 4' Virginia VValtz. The grandtather's clock in the hall struck one, and we retired. The next morning I heard some one in the room above me. I looked at my watch 5 it was not quite tive, so I went to sleep again. Dollie seemed to read and write most of the time 5 still she was the housekeeper, tbr her lllOtl1Gl',S health was frail 3 she taught the younger sister and brother, who were devoted to her, and she seemed glad to do all she could to add to my enjoyment at Lydia, but never could I induce her to go with me to the show, or even to take a walk unless Guy went with us. Her devotion to him was beautiful to see. Une evening as we came home we heard the same pitiful voice singing, 4' Only to see you, darling. Before we reached the house she was out on the lawn to meet us. I-Ier dress was of white, the neck just low enough to expose a delicate white throat. Every now and then, as her gentle breathing moved the frill of lace, I caught a glimpse of a dainty gold chain, which seemed to extend under her dress. She paused by a rustic bench and said : llow sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank I llere will we sit and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears : soft stillness and the night Heroine the touches of sweet ll2ll'l1l0l1y.H lVe sat together and talked until very late. Dollie could dis- cuss almost any subject, criticise almost any book, and sing almost any song. She handled her guitar with ease and grace, and never before had I realized how sweet its music was. Every morning I heard the light footfhlls in the room above me, and quite naturally my curiosity rose very high. One morning I dressed hurriedly as soon as I heard the tbotfiills, and stationed myself at a crack in the door to peep into the library and recep- tion hall. Soon I saw Dollie with broom and dusterg her gingham apron covered her morning dress and her cap was without its usual frills. In a little while the front of the house was spotless and Dollie left, but before long she reappeared in a pretty pink morn- ing dress and white cap with little pink bows nestling in the lace. On one arm she carried a large covered basket, and on the other a basket of roses like the ones in my room. I watched her as she left, and determined to follow her. I kept at a safe distance, fbr I knew I was not doing exactly the proper thing, and if there was one person on earth in whose good graces I wished to dwell it was Dorothy Dunnington. She turned a corner at the court-house, and by the time I had done so she was out of sight. I gazed in all directions, but she was not to be seen. I returned to Lydia. All was quiet and I entered unobserved. A little while later I heard Dollie practicing. She always did so from six until seven, but I had never ventured in to hear her before, for she seemed always to want some one else present when we were together. When I entered she laughed and said: For once Mr. Lloyd Parkhurst, Jr., thought he should be industrious, so he chose this beautiful morning. I was not called from my morning slumbers by an aspiration for industry, but to hear your music and be near you. A bold stroke, but I did not often have an opportunity, so I thought I had better make the best of this one. Then I'll not weary you longer with my talking. She plunged into wave after wave of melody, now as soft and low and dim as the mist in the valley, new brilliant as the birds in the tree-tops. It was when her music was sad that she raised her sweet blue eyes and seemed unconscious of my presence, and her face wore an expression different from any I had ever seen there before. U Your music is divine, Miss Dunnington, but will you not go to the lawn and talk to me for a little while? I-Ier expression changed 5 for a moment she hesitated, but her quick brain soon framed an excuse. 4' That would be very delightful,,' came in her frank, child-like tone, ff but I have household duties to attend to and I must away. Already I have given you too much of my time. Boys are such rogues you have to watch them. If I, a big, good-for-nothing, college boy, was a rogue, what was the sly, elf-like Dollie? In the evening Guy and myself were in the library, reading, he rose and said : Park, I guess there are books enough here to amuse you until I return. I'll not be gone for long, but, you know, my engage- ment is rather urgent, and I am sure you do not mind my lack of ceremony. I took a volume of Tennyson and started for the rustic bench in ft Madison. Just before reaching it I saw Dollie seated there, diligently reading a volume of Moore. I saw her mark a line, then raise her hand to her lips. As she made this gesture she saw me and slipped a locket in the neck of her dress, and the gold chain disappeared in the frill of lace. As she sat there in her modest white dress and her little fluffy cap against the background of wild roses and ivy, I could not be strong and brave, but sank on the bench by her side, simply gazing, for what could I say 1' She rose. Grapevines hid the bench from the house, the terrace hid us from the street, so Nowf' thought I, ff we are alone, out of sight and hearing of every one, she shall listen to me I Her cheeks grew crimson. She forgot that the book was open at the place she had marked, and I saw, to my surprise, that the line was- f' For her heart in his grave is lyingfl She closed the book and said : ' It is almost time for tea-3 I must get fresh roses forthe table. I hope you will enjoy your reading here as much as I have. f' May I not go with you ? I should enjoy that far more. O, Mr. Lloyd Parkhurst, Jr., might scratch his fingers I You read, so you can tell Guy and me about it when he comes home. Ah, how much more I wanted to tell her what I felt! She knew it, and that was why she wanted me to tell her something out of a book. Horse-show week had passed 3 another week had passed, and now the third week was passing rapidly. The morning was damp, and I did not wake until she was leaving. I heard her step near my door, and when I looked through the library windows the pink and white of her costume was blending with the pink and green of' the rose-vine and ivy, and in an instant she had vanished behind ff Madison. I took my book and began to read whe1'e I left off the evening before: A daughter of the gods, divinely tall, And so divinely fair. I read no more, but watched for her to return. YVhen she came she looked tired, the two baskets were empty, the dark rings under her eyes showed that she had been weeping, her hands trembled, and, not seeing me, she sank on the sofa and buried her face in the pillows. For a moment she seemed to struggle for composure, but soon she rose, walked out of' the hall, and there was no trace of thc struggle of a flew minutes before. She allowed me to listen to her music, she read to me a little from Ruskin, but when I tried to draw her into conversation the household duties soon took her off' to the dining-room. It was Sunday morning, the clock in the hall struck four. I rose and was ready to start when the light foothills were heard in the hall. Dollie, as usual, had her two baskets, one of roses and one covered. I followed her closely. After turning the corner at the eourt-house she went to the back door of a small, dingy, frame house, emptied the contents of the heavy basket and placed a few of' the roses there with the provisions. So that was where I lost her on the first morning. I had never heard her speak of her charity work, but it was evidently her custom to provide for this poor family. I followed her farther and soon reached the x cemetery. Not stopping to look at a stone or a flower, she walked rapidly until she reached a grave Qthe only one in the sectionj with a tall white monument and marble curb. She placed the roses at the foot of the grave, knelt by the monument and wound her arms around it. As I stood near her I heard the sad strains- Aml guide and guard my aching heart! My aching heart ! My aching heart ! I advanced a step, and when I read the name on the monument I remembered having heard Guy mention it, and his explanation was, 't He was a playmate of my and Dollie's childhood 5 we were very fond of him and still miss him. He has been dead for over four years. She knelt, her cheek against the marble, her lips moving slowly, one arn1 around the monument and in the other hand the locket. It was a military button-that was all ! When she saw me her look of reproach made me waver. Never before had I realized the power of those large dark eyes which she fixed upon me. Her lips trem- vm 9 ' bled and her arm clutched the monument more 4 closely. My sensation was terrible, I felt as if I had intruded upon the feast of a virgin 3 I was as wicked as Aeteon, as vile as Clodius ! '40, Dorothy! Dorothy, forgive me ! It was wrong for me to come, but-ah, you do not, you cannot, know what it is to be mad with love l 1 fi ,wt 1- ,YQ .u 4' 'C I :I X ! f f. .1 lf .1 i Q , 1 P Wi fi?

U May we not walk home together? f' Leave meg please leave me, it is all I ask ! I left her-I left Lydia-never to return. I Her sweet, pure life lasted for two years after that, and then she went to join her old playmate in a fairer land. Guy, poor H boy, wrote: ' My darling Dollie! Ah, you know how I shall miss her! The sunlight, the joy of my heart! Her last request was, ' Let me rest by the side of my old playmate, whom I have never tor- gotten or ceased to love.' N -'f Now I am an old bachelor. I loved Dollie i when I was a mere boy. I cherish her memory now. True it is that she did not love me, but 13, it is also true that she did not try to win me, but it was her noble soul that won me, and that soul was none the less noble because it did not throb Q 'K for me.

ND it came to pass in those days that a snow fell upon all - the land. i24.L.:I Y-3 And in that place which was ealled Rawlings Institute there dwelled five virgins from the far South who had never seen so strange a thing. And behold, when the snow fell and covered all the earth around about them, they marveled and said one to the other, From whence cometh all this, and what doth it mean ? Then rose one up and answered them, saying, Know ye not that this is the snow? Then there appeared unto them a WOIIILIH of' small stature, clothed in black raimeut, who asked them, saying, XVist ye not that the hour is at hand when you should gird about you your raglauds and go forth unto the sport that lies before you Z' And they cried with a loud voice, Let us go, Let us go. And it eame to pass as the evening drew near they all set out upon the journey. 'From thence rode these virgins with the chief' among the faculty with them. 4 But it so happened that she was placed in their midst so that she could not be seen by the multitude that crowded about them. Now dwelling near the Institute was a body of' students who gathered themselves together for to study. And when they saw the fllll' women in the sleigh the whole multitude of' them arose and went out to see. And they began to inquire among themselves which of' them it was that should be called a teacher, for they were sore afraid lest she should call them down. Then saith one, ivateh and flirt lest ye miss an opportunity, for I say unto you, it cannot last. Behold, in a moment, in the twinkling of' an eye, the horses were turned and the women of the South departed. lVheu they had ridden through all the streets of' the city they returned again to the Institute. Now it came to pass that those wl1o did not partake of' this ride gathered themselves together at all the windows for to see the crowd as they passed. For lo these virgins were not satisfied with their journey, they all consented with one aeeord that they should drive again around the Institute: f'or vanity is great and all are partakers thereof, saith the prophetess. And it came to pass, when they were half' around, there was a mighty downfall of' the sleigh, and the virgins were all thrown into the snow. And a great multitude out of' all the Institute and the houses around about there came out to see and hear. But those that were down were vexed beeause of' this thing, and they lifted up theireyes and said, Blessed are ye that you went not with us. E. THE ALBEMARLE FE IALE INSTIT TE. HAT honored old preacher, Rev. Joseph H. NValker, whose - useful life extended overalmost the wholeof the nineteenth century, used to say that he was the father ofthe Baptist Institute in Charlottesville. He said that when he went there to be pastor he noticed that every Sunday morning a party of' girls would go away from the Sunday School after the lesson was ended. On inquiry he found that the principal of' their school required them to attend his church, although they belonged to Baptist families. He said he called his brethren together and told them that the Baptists must have a school of their own. They were fortunate in finding in their midst an accomplished teacher, Mr. S. H. NVyriek, who for a number of years conducted a board- ing school ot' considerable merit. It enjoyed a wo1'thy patronage and did good work. Out ot' the loins of this school sprang the A LBEMA RL E FEMA LE INS'1'I'I'UTI'I. In a cabinet in the Museum of Richmond College, is a valued relic. It is a scrap of paper, yellow with age, that was rescued several years ago from a bag of' old papers belonging to the attorney for the trustees ot' this school. The paper contains the signatures of' the founders-those who thought and planned for this institution-who bore its burdens and rejoiced in its triumphs, and who deserve to be remembered. They were lVm. P. Farish, J. T. Randolph, Jolm A. Broadus, A. E. Dickenson, and Jolm H. Bibb. It contains also the receipt fbr 351,031 paid by Treas- urer Bibb to John H. Timberlake, Geo. L. Peyton witness, for the old Monticello Hotel, its first home, and is dated January 7, 1857. In the founding of' this institution the great Dr. Broadus, then a young man, was the moving spirit. XVhen he went to the University as Chaplain, he was succeeded by Dr. Dickenson. He took this work and pushed it with his characteristic zeal. The Charlottesville church has always had noble spirits in its member- ship, and there were many who contributed their portion, but it is nevertheless true that that big-souled Baptist-, William P. Parish, by his prineely inunificence, made it possible for these young ministers to carry out the cherished wish of their hearts in the opening ofan institution that quickly went to the top, and flour- ished for more than a decade under the same principal. It had no superior, and scarcely a peer in its faculty or in its curriculum. Coming to this school as I did in '59, two years after its doors were opened, I saw it in all the glow of its young aspiring lite, and felt the impact of' its expansive forces, and the throb off' its great heart. The fact has been proved often and again, that a school to do its best work must be f'ull of hope and ot' confidence in its own powers. 'rn H If'At 'UL'l'Y. Such a faculty as they had! Nearly all ot' them were distin- guished graduates of' the University, selected by Dr. Broadus, some his class-mates, as John Hart, Principal, H. H. Harris, Professor of Greek and Latin. And there were girls in those days who studied Greek and took away their diplomas when they left school. Crawford Toy, now a distinguished professor in Harvard, one of the great universities of the world, and Dr. A. B. Brown, once a professor in Richmond College, of colossal intellect, one of the greatest teachers of this age, were there. There were others, as Thompson, Hiden, Holliday, and Louthan, none of whom were lesser lights. The first two professors, Hart and Harris, finished their work, and left behind a record unsur- passed. A It has always been a pleasant thought to the writer that she was privileged to belong to the first class in English ever taught in the South. It was organized here by Mr. Hart, a recognized master of good English. What he wrote was eagerly scanned. He was authority on English and Literature. It was a rare treat to be a pupil of his, as it was of l.'rofessors Harris, Brown, and the others. It was a bright galaxy of teachers. TH E CURRICU LUM. When one considers the course of study mapped out here, it is apparent that it was more of a college than it claimed to be. The authors studied in the Senior Class in Moral Philosophy and Metaphysics were Cousin, Jouffroy, Locke, and Sir William Hamilton. In Latin, Cicero, Virgil, Sallust, Horace, and Tacitus, and in Mathematics, the course extended to Calculus, and it was often taken from the love of it. But alas! the school was doomed to meet reverses. Possibly the aim was too high. It was best suited to graduates of other schools, and there were not enough of them to keep it going. It was ahead of its age. To secure M. A.'s of the University as teachers required more income than could come from a people only waking to see the possibilities of the higher education of women. A DISTINGUISIIED S'l'liDEN'l'. There have been many that have gone out from this school who reflected honor upon their Alma Mater, but perhaps the class of '61 bears the highest distinction in having as one of its members Miss Lottie Moon, one of the most cultured and consecrated of all missionaries of the Foreign Board. U She sailed for China soon after she took her degree, bidding adieu to the attractions of home and surroundings. Her name is a familiar one to Southern Baptists, and she is greatly honored by themf' ITS NEW HOME. The school moved into its present quarters--the new building- about '62, It was then the solitary house on the square, occupy- ing a most commanding position--out of town. When we used to pass on our way to .Earrish's Spring, the trysting place of the girls and students, it was an old field. Money was literally poured out here in the beginning. lt was my privilege to visit here once just befbre the war closed. All seemed happy in their enlarged position. But it was not long before this school, like so many others, suffered from the desolation that had been wrought on the homes of Virginia's yeomanry. iVhere could they get money to educate their daughters with, their property having been swept from them as by a cyclone? Mr. Hart left the school and opened a smaller one in Staunton. Mr. Rawlings and M1'. Dickinson became principals at different times, and with great odds against them, resurrected the institution and did valuable work. IN cor.. rnvronts oI.D norm.. The old Monticello with its grey exterior, and its long dark corridors, had rather a prison-like appearance, but within it was instinct with lite. It had many windows behind which the girls would peer into the streets below when home-sickness overtook them. And then the old dining room over which the tall Black Ben presided ! No knight was ever courtlier than he. He rang that bell as if hc thought it would resound down the corridors ot' time. One ot' the most attractive places in the house was the room of the Art teacher in the farthest end of the annex. The walls XVCl'C literally covered with pictures, and a cheery welcome awaited those who called. The name of' the teacher was Mrs. Emily C. Grubb, who lives at present in Norfolk with her son, who was a little boy then. She was English, had come over in a sailing vessel when a girl, and had been a governess in Gen. Lee' s family. She speaks lovingly ot' her life at the old Albemarle Institute. The second year ot' my course, '60-'61, the rude alarms ot' war sounded the call to arms. There was much excitement in the town, troops passing to and fro on the train. And when there was to be speaking by distinguished speakers, the classes were dismissed to allow us to go. It was difficult to keep the school together. A few went home. A Miss Alden, teacher from New England, said to be of' the John Alden family, went home and was never heard from at sehool again. OUTLOOK I-'OR THE FUTUIQE. Not being familiar with this period, others must write the his- tory ot' it. The Baptists appreciate the gift made by Mr. Raw- lings, which made it possible for the school to live again on a per- manent basis. NVould that his example might incite others ! And to Dr. Tribble, the present able principal, too much praise cannot be given for his self-sacrificing labor for the school. In throwing himself into the breach he has saved a plant that is capable of g1'eat possibilities. One thing that commends this school, is, that it does not pretend to be what it is not. So many of' the colleges of the South would do better if they were called institutes. It does better work really than it claims to do. Happy for situation, too, is this Rawlings Institute. I-Iere ill the town that was the first to be called the Athens ot'Americag to be so near a great University-under its very eaves, where one can catch the inspiration that comes from a community of' students working on the hidden secrets of science and philosophy, is a rare privilege. It is an education to know and appreciate that wonderful work ri of' art, lhe School of Athens, the conception of Raphael, at whose shrine all artists bow. IVell do I remember the first time I saw and studied it. I don't think I was moved any more when in later years I looked on the originals in their home in the old country. That first look opened a new world and made me long for another. GREETINGS. Alumnae ofthe old Albemarle Institute: I greet you wherever you are. Nearly four decades have passed, and our hair is silveringg but I've no doubt your hearts beat as loyal to-day as when you received your degree. ' Alumnae of the Rawlings : I greet you as sisters-half'-sisters--it may be, but as children ot' a common mother. Let us join hands and hearts and seek to uphold the interests ot' the institution that has given us our honors. To the youngest ot' the Alumnae, the class ot' 1902-eongratm lations!

HIC studio of dull background of' olive green threw into bold relief' the casts and statuettes, and harmonized with the touches of' color in the water colors hanging on the wall. A. sofa in one corner, piled high with cushions, suggested ease and repose. Under the skylight., upon an easel, rested an unfinished picture. WVere it not for the easel and the living model, one would have thought it the room of' a collector ot' pictures and brie-a-brac rather than thc atclier ot' an artist. A young girl, who sits before the easel, after working awhile 1'ather dispiritcdly, lays her brushes aside, and compares with critical glances her picture and the model. ff It is not worth while t1'ying. I canit get the expression. All my faces look like wooden masks. And I have worked so hard I Oh, fbr the power to transfer to my canvas that subtly haunting expression ot' the model ! If' for once I might succeed in painting a real living fiace I would be content, though forever after I toiled in vain ll' Surely a diliicult subject the young artist has chosen-- Love's Despair -yet the face of' the model eould suggest no other title. Despair, deep, bitter, unavailing despair, was written in lines that could not be mistaken upon that pale face and spoke mournfully out ofthe sad eyes. The face had appealed to her artistic nature so strongly that she had engaged her as a model. She had suc- ceeded in getting the same outlines, the same features, but the soul ot' the fi1ee,the expression, was wanting. No word of' despair looked out of' the face upon the canvas, no pathetic drooping of the mouth which tells the folly of' tears. She had but the casket, the jewel was not there. A step sounded in the hall outside. Her face brightened. She took up her brushes again just as the door opened and her pro- fessor entered. A, handsome man he was, with the cold, passion- less face of' an artist. . His quick glance took in the model and the canvas. H A diflicult. subject you have chosen, Mademoiselle wifes!-ee pcm! WVhat success are you having with that most profound luunan emotion, lc dcsespoir dc Pmnozn' Y I-Iis pupil shrugged her shoulders. I am discouraged, Monsieur. I cannot paint the human soul. My canvas shows you that. And I have worked so hard l U Patience, Mademoiselle. All is not learned in a day. Your technique is good, your drawing accurate, the color lifelike. But, as you say, there is no soul looking out of' the eyes. Where is that expression of wicked tears so plainly written on the face of' the model ? Mademoiselle, he said earnestly, if only the inspi- ration that czln read and paint a lnunan soul could be awakened in you, you would be the greatest painter of your age. You have not yet that Heaven-sent gift. But do not be discouraged, Made- moiselle. It may come later. Persevering work is the keynote of' art. I donit think my lack of' inspiration is due to lack of' work. There must be something else. Maybe I have not a soul that can understand another soul well enough to paint with feeling. ff Mademoiselle, he said abruptly, 4' have you ever loved? The girl turned her head and looked through the window out over the roofs of' Paris to where the distant Seine sparkled on its 77 seaward way. She paused a few moments before she replied: Xen, mon Profes.s-cm-, I don't think I have ever loved, at least- Ah ! then your inspiration will come. That is what is lacking in your work. But it has its price. lVhen you have given your hea1't's desire in vain you can paint Iiove's despair. VVhen you have felt the bitterest sorrow, when you have given all, lost all, suffered all, then the inspiration will come that will enable you to know and paint the human soul. Such is the price all pay who have their names written in the Book of Fame. Mademoiselle's face had grown very pale. Her heartis secret, only half' acknowledged, made itself known to her at that moment. The awakening had come. The ending? Must love prove ill vain ? Let Love be glad, for pain is cruel. Ab, mon 1'rQfessc1tr. ' she said tremulouslyg His it 'worth the price f' XVorth the price. There is but one answer to every true artist. A thousand times, yes. Yea, count yourself' blessed if it is permitted you to suffer in order that the divine spark of' inspi- ration may be yours. What is the fleeting pleasure of love com- pared to the glory of' a great achievement? The desire for pleasure is selfish-the ambition to glorify life, to develope the highest in one that humanity may be uplifted, is heavenly. God does not make all artists. If' I-Ie has given you talent, it is your duty to develope that talent. NVhen sorrow comes, count yourself' for- tunate that you will thus be enabled to reach the highest plane of' your workf, U You talk as if' sorrow were certain to be my lot. Perhaps I may escape. VVho knows?. Life has given me no thorns among my roses thus far, she said with assumed lightness. U lVell, Mademoiselle, if' you escape sorrow, as you express it, you will also lose your chance of' becoming a great artist. Clmeun, it son goztt, but for my part I'd rather be the greatest artist of my time than a mere butterfly of a sunlit day seeking pleasure. Pleasure is not the highest aim. Sorrow is always a blessing in disguise. Take my advice, mn. chez-c 616110, and if' great love or great joy be yours to have, lay it aside, and achieve the highest and best in art. Is it not worth the price? H l'm'zlonnez-moi that weakness in asking such a question. Only a woman could ask that. You are a man. It is harder for a woman to lay love aside than it is for a man. But, as you say, it must surely be worth while.', 4' Then spoke the true artist. One is not worthy to be an artist unless one is brave enough to pay the price. And now I must go. Persevere, my pupil. You have a good model, though a hard subject. At some moment when you're not expecting it the inspi- ration may come. NVe know not what awaits us 3 no, not even what a day or an hour may bring forth. Au revoirf, As he was leaving the room Mademoiselle called him back. if Monsieur, excuse me, but have you ever paid the price? U I have not been so fortunate as to have had the opportunity, he said, and the next moment he was gone. Mademoiselle remained motionless until the last echo of his tbetsteps died away. I-Ier inte1'est in her work was gone. She dismissed her model and sank into her chair before the unfinished picture. As the model went out she called her back. Pardon me, she said hesitatingly, but you-you must have known great sorrow. Will you tell me? N I have loved and lostf' replied she, quietly, wrapping her shawl with quiet dignity around hcr thin tbrm. And before Mademoiselle could speak f'urther she had left the room. Mademoiselle gazed long at the piettu'e. The words I have Im-ed and lost haunted hcr. I told him I had never loved. That was true in one sense, for I have never loved until nom. I know my own heart at last. I love tny professor. I have been too absorbed in my work to think about love before. But Iiove is stronger than Art, and will claim its power. How handsome, how flistiugzte, he is! I wou- dct' why I love him 2' I who have heretofore spoken of' love as a waste ot' time. I wonder what he would think if he knew I loved him ? Strange that my first taste of love should be eonnningled with sorrow. Is it fated so Z' Will renunciation be my forced lot? How earnestly he advised me to lay aside love if' it came to me, in order that I win success in art. Is it worth the price? My heart says no ,- my reason hesitates. But would hc have said that if' he knew I loved him? Or did he guess? Ah, there is the pang ! She arose and went to a mirror. The smooth surface reflected a sweet, earnest fi1ce,lighted by soulful eyes. Soft brown hair waved back from a broad white forehead. No, I am not ugly, she said to herself, after criticizing her reflection for awhile, I am even pretty. He is an artist, I an1 glad I'm not ugly, for artists love beauty. Art, has ruled my life until now. Its power has fled 3 Love has triumphed. I will make him love me, and he will tllell confess that he was wrong-that Life's best gift is love, not fame. .Viz Chen' Ilhrdentofsrlle: - I trust you will pardon my almsenee from your studio on last lesson day when I tell you that I only arrived in Paris this A. M., after a visit of several days to my mother at C'lnny. Mademoiselle, you asked me on my last visit to your studio if I had ever paid the price cfsuccess in art, and I told youI had never had an opportunity. Do you remember? Mademoiselle, I have paid the price now. The success is yet to come. I :nn engaged to he married. The wedding day is set-not far distant. This statement seems incompatible, lifes!-1-1: pus! I.ct me explain. I will marry not for love, hut to please my mother. It is the dearest wish of her heart that I should marry this young lady, a prolegec of hers. She loves me. I will make two people happy, hut not myself. Since I last saw you l realize that I do love sonmlmdy-liettel' even than I love my life, better even than I love art. I feel, I know, that I have the power to make her love me. But she has the latent genius of a ,great artist. One day that power will be awakened. I feel that I eould make her ltappyg I myself would be supremely happy. Ilut was ever .Xrt's greatest achievements due to happiness ? No, as I said before, all true artists have a price to pay. Art is an idol to whom we must ollcr the saeriliee of all that we hold deat'. Must I spoil her career-her opportunity of winning fame--the praise of future ages, for the sake of mere earthly happiness 1' Nog I love her well enough to give her up. All told. The price is hitter. If for myself alone I paid it, it would not be paid. It is for hersakc I am strong. Do you wonder that I tell you this? You must-yea, I know you will-understand. Need I say more Z' My seeret is yours. Yours faithfully, Paornsson B. P. S.--I will call for my criticisms at the usual hour. Over and over she read the letter. At last she realized and understood all. She took out her paints and brushes as one in a dream. In a few moments the model came in. She stared curiously at the artist's white, stonily calm face, but said nothing. Mademoiselle began to paint. Surelyno1e, if ever, the inspira- tion will be given meg I too have loved and lost. N Oh, God l she prayed, help me to paint 'Levels Despair' before I die. What the model must have felt I feel now. Help me to make the pictured face tell her story and minef' She painted steadily for an hour and laid her brushes aside. She dismissed her model, and when she was left alone, sank into a chair and gazed long at the picture. At last! at last! Her work was finished. The long wished for expression was there. All,-not one shade was lacking. Where was the joy that should have been hers? She felt it not. Oh, I,ove's Despair! Art cannot fill a woman's life. Love alone can do that. Nllhen love is taken til0l'C is nothing left. Oh, the wide emptiness of life without it, the wide emptiness that all the successes, all the triumphs of art could never fill. H It is perfect, she said, gazing on her work, but I have paid the price, oh, Levels Despair l Falling on her knees, she buried her face in her hands. IVithout was thc hustle and noise of ,l.'aris-wicked, restless Paris, within was quiet, and later, peace. An hour later the Professor entered the wtclicr. He entered almost hesitatingly. After his letter, he dreaded this first interview with her. He stood spellbound when he entered the room. Facing him was the picture on the easel, a masterpiece.. The face stood out from the canvas, warm and full of life. The mournful eyes gazed into his own as if asking, what is joy? The sorrow that too deep for tears lingered in the curves of the pathetic lips. It was a triumph of art. At last! at last ! he cried exultingly, f' you have won fame, fortune, Mademoiselle! NVhat! not weeping over your success? Arise, let me congratulate you l I-Ie endeavored to raise her from her kneeling position. In vain ! Her cheeks were cold with the icy hue of death, her lips speechless, fixed iu a strange, inscrutable smile. In the greatest alarm he carried l1er to the sofa and tried to rub warmth into her cold hands, pressing passionate kisses on her pale lips. Ybo late .' All was in vain. Oh, my God ! was it for this I sacrificed you? you, my best-beloved I Oh, speak to 1ne! speak to me l if just one word to tell me you forgive me for my great mistake ! Dead ! dead! dead l Like an echo came the question she had asked him, Is it worth the price? E. Ir. M. QE? X: Y 2 'HIGH .X R Y Nl ll 'll42'1' C. I. LITERARY SOCIETY M0'l l'0: Iisso tlllillll vidcri.

It with gratetiil hearts that we recount the blessings of' the year. Our efficient President, Jennie Seay, has given much time and thought to the work and has been rewarded by the attend- ance which has been larger this year than ever before, and by the general interest and blessing of our Heavenly Father. We know that the memory oi' the Sunday meetings will bc among the sweetest recollections of' the year. The usual reception was given in September to the new students. YVe had the privilege of' sending two delegates to the State Convention at Blackstone: Misses de lleftwich and Gwendoline Cobb. Soon after the return from the Christmas holidays, classes for Bible study were organized under the auspices of' Mrs. Jones, Miss Knight, and Miss YVood. The week of' payer for Missions in November, and the week of' prayer f'or cvangelizing the world were sources of' hel p to many ot' us. YVe were fortunate enough to have Mrs. Maynard, missionary to China, with us. Mrs. Maynard gave us an interesting and helpful talk. She told many interesting anecdotes of' the lif'e and customs ot' the Chinese, and of' her work among them. Nl'e had another appreciated talk from Dr. Hatcher, of' Rich- mond. His talk was based on the welcoming of Jesus into our homes. It was our 1bl0tlSlll'C recently to have Miss Moore, the State Secretary, with us. She made two very interesting talks, which were very helpful to all present, and also gave us many helpful points on the work of' the officers and committees.

ND it came to pass now in the days of 1902 that there happened many things, and now the fun was at hand. There were many who took part, and lo! the leader said i unto them, Depart hence and go into the rooms, that the girls who take part also may know the works that we do. For there are many who will gladly do these things in secret, but if thou doest these things, shew thyself to the world. Few are they' who bclicvc that we will do this. And thc girls did plot together, but the leader said unto them, 4' The time is not yet come, but wait until twelve, for few are they who did 11ot say that we have been heavy laden and sore oppressed, verily, we are up against it. And all this did we do, but there was much murmuring among the girls concerning this 3 for few were they who believed. Some said, It will be well 5 others said, Nay. But it came to pass that the girls waxed wicked-and did not heed the words ot' many. Then said some of them, H Is this not fun which we are cnteringv 1' The nine wentstraightway into their rooms, and when they had slept until the midnight hour, then lo I a slight rap was heard at the door ot' each girl, and she did say unto them, Follow me, and I will show you that which you are to do.', Then they straight- way left their rooms and followed her, and lo ! there were other girls on their way. When they were at last gathered together, the leader demanded of them quiet. Then after all was again quiet and the light was turned on, all was made ready. NVhy did we sit still for a few minutes, why did we not assemble ourselves and enter into the assigned work 1' It was because we thought we heard a voice. One of the number said: Take heed that ye do not laugh or make any noise, for if ye do ye might wake Miss Kate. It was that wonderful time at midnight, on one of those cold and bleak January nights, that we acted the part which was assigned us. But what went we to that room for to see? A Roman can- dle? Yea, I say unto you, and 'more than a Roman candle. At once all did go to work to prepare, for the time was at hand. Something else was missing, it was the matches, so some got thc matches, others grasped the candle with both hands, and, of course, the remaining number were the VG1'y watchful door-keepers, Lo the window was then opened, and several heads did appear, and one did stick the match to the end ofthe candle, but the sparks did not yet throw out their light. At that time, one said in a low voice, That candle is false, and many sad hearts were they, when they heard this. There was another voice in the room which did say, YVait, for in my trunk is a great knife, and let's cut it and try again. So while she departed to get the knife, behold, all were quiet, we sat in fear and trembling, lest we should make a great and rum- bling noise, so great that Mrs. Jones might hear, and knowing too that Miss Kate roomed next door. A But lo, there was one who sat upon a trunk, and when the knife was found she did cut the candle and they at once stuck another match to the end of' it, and lo l there were many sparks which came therefrom. So great was the tire that the teachers thought the stars were falling and they were sore afraid. Then the girls grew quiet, that they might not lind out from which window the sparks came. And in this 1'0OIY'l the girls did stay, for they dared not enter the hall, lest someone might see, and many merry laughs were heard from the rooms aboveg but oh, when a, foot-step was heard in the hall, all grew again quiet, then the leader said, ff Depart from here, for the fun is over for to-night, but lo ! the morn came, and all did speak of the night past, but all of the N Fire Company were innocent, knowing nothing of the happen- ings ofthe night. And we kept it close, and told no one on that day any of those things which we had done. A nd it came to pass that on the next day, when we felt it our duty to confess, much people watched and listened to the proceedings of the night. But lol we then went to room numher twelve, for someone dwelt therein whom we wished to see. Some feared as they entered this room, but they knew not that the occupant was soivery small.' But alas l she said unto each one, Ifyou he the one who shot oft' the lireworks, confess it, hut there was a general understanding before entering the room that no one would tell on another, then we charged them and commanded them to tell no one the things which we had heard. The message then came from number twelve that no more should the tiunous nine go on Main, and no more should we see inside of the parlor on Friday and Saturday nights, until such and such a time. But the days of the punishment were about one and twenty. ei N flffi' A2-.rl 4 Yi . -J '. ltilE1 :z' itil ' ,, .- b+sstQ,lfaiQ . 2 , V , . . . - M N ..., ulngn . 5---V ---- V - , if ' .t ,.g-g, :gj', V, .

E CARPENTER MASTER TRIBBIJE A MID IGHT ESCAPADE BOARDING school, not far away, was once the scene ot t wely unusmg event One mfrht lftel tht ten oclock . . . . A . i g . , i , i bell had rung, which meant for us to go quietly to our little beds and put all the lights ont, my room-lnatc and I were aroused by a tap on the door, and a Ghostly Figure appeared 011 the threshold, and in a whisper invited us across the hall to l1er room to feast. Now as feasts do not come on every day of the week, we accepted her invitation with alacrity. NVhen we reached the Banquet ,llall we found several more Ghostly Figures. The light was turned on and the fun began in earnest. I suppose in our enjoyment of the good things, we fhrgot to be ve1'y quiet, anyway after a time we heard footsteps approaching. C0l1fllSl0l1 reigned! The light was put out, the door was locked, and then such a rush under the bed, table, chairs, into the ward- robe, anywhere at all I When the footsteps reached the door not a sound was heard except a stray giggle from under the far corner ofthe bed. After trying in vain to wake the occupants of the room, the footsteps slowly receded down the hall. And when all was quiet once more we crawled out of our hiding places and tiptoed to our rooms. , ' ' NVe had scarcely gotten to our rooms and gotten quiet when we heard stealthy footsteps on the tin roof outside our window. Very soon three or four of the Ghostly Figures came rushing witl1 white scared faces, exclaiming, There,s a man on the rooflv One Ghostly Figure, braver than the rest, went to the window to make sure it was fastened. .lust then the mann stepped right by the window. Every Ghostly Figure rushed out in the hall and screamed at the top of her voice. In a very few minutes the hall was full of seantily clothed Figures, even more ghostly looking than ourselves, with hair done up in curl papers, and tipping softly about lest they might accidently strike a naughty taek. Every one was talking at once, no one knew what was wrong. One lady, thinking the house was on fire, thought she would save her dearest possession, which was a switch for her hair. Some one suggested, it' it was a real sure enough man, to catch him and preserve him in alcohol as a specimen. One Ghostly Figure peeped through the shutters, and saw, not a man but a mf, having gotten out on the roof, was perambulating around looking for a place to sleep. The Figure immediately reported that a cat was on the root, but our worthy matron, being slightly deaf, thought she said calf, and her orders were instantly issnred It is nothing but a calf on the roof' fro to 2 2 s your 1'ooms at once. It was with eased minds all the Figures trooped to their rooms, and quiet once more reigned supreme. It is still the joke of the season, and whenever we hear any- thing unusnal we always say, 'f It is nothing but a calf ' J. C. S. Before the boom of civil war I-lad through the South resounded, Like muttering'tlnmders from afar That scare awav each timid star, The Institute was founded. She lived and llonrished twenty years, Then changed her maiden name, To circle in still wider spheres, Known by the name that now appears To give her endless fame. The Institute delights to take Virginia's H,Lf1'C0ll0Hl2H lass, And in her very being make A gentlcness and grace awake i That nothing can surpass. The new girl eomes, perhaps, untaught ln cultnre's pleasing trend- llowever sweet and pure in thought, She ean't appear just as she ought Nl'ithout a guide and friend. The lirst few days are often spent In longing thoughts of home, But nature softly heals the rent, For new friendships restore content, No matter where we roam. No frienship has a sweeter charm Than that which takes its rise From strolling sweetly arm in arm, lVith elass-mates, when the d:1y IS warm, Beneath our Southern skies. The brightest sun that ever shined llas sunken in the XVest, The blithest maid of gayest mind ln sorrow sometimes has repined- llas sometimes been distressed. o the Glass of 1902. For dillieulties often rise To block the studentls way, But she who hopes to gain her prize Must dig to where her treasure lies. If she would win the day. A studeut's cares are seldom great Until her linal year, And with a sure, increasing weight They then begin to aggravate, And breed a world of fear. She then, perchance, with true regret Looks backward o'cr her past, And counts the sums she failed to And wonders if there can be yet A hope for her at last. ller past life now is but a span, ller school days nearly spent, She loves to meditate and plan On matrimony and the man On whom her heart is bent. With puzzled brain she works along Till graduation day, NVhen out before the list'niug throng She sings her graduation song In such a winsome way, That hearty cneores, shouts and eheei Proelaim her praises loud, Till she, a second time, appears l'pon the stage to please the cars Of her enraptured erowd. The faithful student wins a prize Un graduation clay, For earth becomes a paradise To every mind that's truly wise ln lVisdom's holy way. S3 get lVhen graduation day is past, And she's about to start For home, her pulse beats doubly fast, For farewell partings always cast A shadow in the heart. She knows that she's about to leave The friends sbe's learned to love, And how it makes her spirit grieve 1' No more thev'll meet from that last eve . . u 7 Tlll in the eourts above. True, here and there, throughout their d Old class-mates meet again 5 But, just as true, there are always Some missing faces-this o'erlays The pleasure with a pain. A few more weeks, and you will see That mother of your love, And Rawlings Institute will be As lonely as the shoreless sea To Noah's wearied dove. Uh, gentle Future, ever bless The members of this class lVith hope and joy and happiness, NVith perfect health and sure sueeess, As years and decades pass. A maiden, like a lily fair That springs from out the sod, Becomes, when reared with proper care, And l1lll'llll'Ctl by a mother's prayer, The masterpiece of God. nys ll. C'.t MY EXPERIENCE AS AN AGENT. T was in the year 1872 that I began, using the every-day expression of the country people of my section of the country, to shift for myself. It was no easy matter, I can assure you, to aeeustom myself to regular work, tbr my parents had been wealthy, and I, being the only child, had been spoiled in every conceivable mannen. But now that my parents were old, and had lost all of their hard-earned wealth, I was forced to start out to make my own way, and to support my parents. The inhabitants of the homes and villages adjoining my native home were,tbr the most part, simple, energetic, hard-working people who found both pleasure and enjoyment in the small things of life. Having received a box of stereoscopic views and of stereoscopes, the life of George NVashington and that of Queen Victoria, which I had ordered from New York, I borrowed a horse and buggy from a friend, and on the 12th of June, 1872, I left my dear old home for better or for worse. ' My experiences on 1ny first trip were many and various. Stop- ping one day at a farm house at about twelve o'clock, I was invited in to dinner, which consisted of pork, cabbage, turnips, co1'n bread and butter. After dinner I showed my ff wares. The views pleased the people greatly, so they bought quite a number, but the life of Queen Victoria was an abomination in their sight. IVeuns ain't never heard tell of her, an' the fact is, weuns don't care about havin' no such book of no such woman what weuns don't know nuthin' 'bout, they said. They bought the life of WVashington, however. . Just as I was leaving the old man said to me : Young man, I most in generally gives younguns from the city a talkin' to when I see 'em. It dns me a sight of good, and I ai11't above saying that it dus some on 'em what' s got sense, good too. You seems to have some sense, though you do sell that book 'bout that woman what we don't know nothin' 'bout. Let me say to you that weuns air not like you' uns be, so don' t go 'bout this country with your head high like you air a-stepping on the clouds. I thanked him and followed his advice, greatly to my benefit. NVhile in a small town, I stopped at an old colored man's house one morning. He was much pleased with the views and bought several, but the books met a tt cold reception. ff WVhat for does you sposen I wants to know any more 'bout George IVashington and Queen Vic? I done knowed George all his life. He was de wickedest nigger you eber heard tell of Course I know all 'bout him. YVan't it jus' las' year dat he stole Captin Radnor's bes' horse and were cotched and put in jail? An' de nex' mornin' when dey went fur to look fur him he had broke de jail an' had fell outen de fouth story an' had broke his neck. You needen think you can sell dat book'round here, cause everybody knows George. An' dat 0116 'bout Vic, I don't want dat nuther. I knows dat 'oman. I knows she stole de satin dresses of de 'Squire's young miss, and was put in jail, an' dar she is yit. I did my best to C011Vil1CC him that they were neither the George nor the Victoria of his acquaintance, but he would not be convinced, so I had to leave him wondering why de lives of such miseble niggers was written up in books. It would take too much time and space to mention all of my experiences, so I will conclude. I gave up that work at the end of the year, but I have never regretted the time I spent as an agent, for it had for mc both pleasure and profit. ffaqpkf F ST Q66 X7 A A AA A-5 QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ A'l' THE DINNER TABLIQ. .Iran S. : The Bible says, ' man cannot live by bread alone.'
