Fatal the hour When injustice deep exiled thee from her Shores, to court no more the Muse among the Verdant hills where first thy eyes beheld The light of day. Great and illustrious one, Thy glorious name escaped not slander's Euvenomed shafts which off against thy breast Were fired from lurking Eny's box That dark browed dawn who ever served Upon the great since first in serpent form She provoked the eye; all harmless Fall these arms seen: a sorrow deeper Within thy heart then poisoned Even could wound, a ling ring grief that mingled With thy every thought from childhood's hour And tinge the brightest days with gloom; yet w! Thy bosom the home, the chosen home of All poetry and song, and from out the Fire-townland of thy heart poured words that ste With an enchanting spell upon the soul. For thee were peopled the woods, the hills and Flowery vales with beings fair whose mild Ethorical beauty far-on-sheme The lovelief forms of earth, and the winding Brook or plunging water fall, sweet warblers Of nature's ever-ending song, to the琴 Played music sweeter far than eer from harp Or ryre awoke to mortal touch of ou Trembling upon the lips of love; and thy Soul could wandering the stare and Moon lilight the night to catch the Sky away of midnight on her throne Or stared a glimpse of words beyond the reach Of human krenn; from all things grand that greet The eye at morn, and noon, and eve—from all The countless owers whose rays eternal light The azure aurm—from all the sun-kissed gems That beautify the earth, the spirit of The beautiful flowed into thy heart and Breathes through all thy lies.

The Washington ball given by the Usher Guards last Monday evening was by far the finest ever given in Lawrence. The grand March began at half past eight, and from that time until early morning the dance went on almost unceasingly. The floor managers, Messrs. Abe Levy, Lute Lewis and Rob Rankin, deserve special mention for the able manner in which they made every one feel at home. The voting for daughter of the regiment was close and exciting, and resulted in the election of Miss Hannah Howe, the popular daughter of Capt. Howe. We were pleased to notice the large number of students present. Several couple from Toneka were also present.
Oread.
Oread had quite an interesting meeting last Friday. The literary program was one of the best of the year. Miss Josie Cooke recited "I Know What You're Going to Say," in a most pleasing manner. W. H. Brown gave a reading, H. E. Riggs an extemporaneous talk. L. A. Stebbins read an essay on the "Eastern Question," and Harry Smith delivered an oration on "Silver." The debate on classical as opposed to the business education, was supported on the affirmative by Markley and Stebbins and on the negative by Morgan and Smith. The decision was in favor of the negative. The following officers were elected for a term of six weeks: President, Gertrude Hunnicut; vice president, May Webster; secretary, R. J. Kimball; critic, Josie Cook. Oread is in a good condition now, and a little work will make it a first class society again.
