SALMAGUNDI 2 1 The foster-child of silence and slow time. L N INA BRIGGS. A maiden modest and self-possessed, But she can talk as fast as the rest. ALTA NICHOLS. We Would Like to See Phoebe's Sunday attraction. Mahaney' buy a paper of pins. Gould in a basket-ball suit. Helen Smith without a grin. Lane teaching Geometry. Flannigan get her desk straightened up. Coady able to distinguish a button from a nickel. Allingham get A in Physics. Her hair hung round her pallid cheek Like seaweed on a clam. ALICE COFFIN, '10. Lizzie Neal has a thoughtful mien, Her Voice is sweet and clear, Stop studying my dearest maid, Or for your health we fear. .- Cheney does not care for tricks, Which many others ply, But asks such puzzling questions, I ' And mostly this just fWhy?'l Here Kate Welts comes all breathless in, Her arms piled high with books, We Wonder if she studies them, Or carries them for looks. VVhen Gabriel blows his final blast, And all the dead arise, And gather in their happy home Prepared beyond the skies, When all the good are gathered in And Peter shuts the gate, In Heaven, if she comes at all Will Zippora come in late? In far-away Spain, there dwelleth a lonely lord. His castle is near unto ruins for he hath not the Price to make it whole. When but a young lad he did Cross the sea to become a tamer of Lyons, and did sail in the Briggs of a rich merchant. thus earning a few Nichols. Now he hath no coach to Hall him about so he taketh lonely walks in the Lane and each day he goeth down to the Brooks where he silently casteth his Bates into the cool waters. Neither boast nor Bragg doth he make and when Death cometh to claim his own, no Bell will toll his passing out, and no Coffin will bear his body to his last resting place.
