MY PONY.
My pony, 'tis of thee,
Emblem of liberty,
To thee I sing.
Worthy of fondest praise,
Worthy of poet's lays,
I'd tribute bring.
book of my Freshman days,
Worthy of fondest praise,
Worthy of poet's lays,
Jest of everlasting days,
Unworthy of student's praise,
Worthy of flunner's lays,
Good-bye old thing.
For a single glance from my dark- drown eyes.
The following poem was found as dressed to a prominent Freshman:
To wed, of course, I do not mean,
As I am only sweet sixteen.
I'm quite too young to be a wife,
And tied to anyone for life.
My cheeks are pink, my lips are red,
My hands are small, as to my head
I am no dune, as you may see
By these pretty lines I write to me,
Of medium height, and graceful form
I shall never live a maid forlorn.
And many fellows would give their lives
My books of courses, you wish to know
My skin is white as falling snow,
        my eyes are blue.
My rivals say that I am fat,
But my beau will contradict it flat,
Golden-brown hair and eyes to match
I capture all that I try to catch.
I only wins a little fun,
And when I get it, I am'done.
That rhyme was awful hard to get
But wouldn't give it up—not yet.
My rivals say that I am fat,
If this description does not please
Our correspondence will have to cease.
If this description does not pertain,
Our correspondence will have to cease.
I just returned from school last June.
And if you write 'twell be a boon.
My home is in a village small,
It has not even a public hall.
Take pity on my loneness,
And answer some of this simpleness
As our correspondence is for fun,
We may now and then put in a pun.
NAUGHTY FRIENDS
Take pity on my loneliness,
The action of a few of the members of one of our gentlemen secret societies Tuesday, in their unexplainable proceeding, the "consolidaible proceeding of the *Courier*," is to our students and members of the faculty acquainted with all the facts, very "ludicrous to look upon." As is well known, the gentlemen owned no stock whatever in the company. In consideration of the good will and work they gave the paper, their well known antiphathy to the enemies of The Courier, and their agreeing to be the paper and its management, they were extended the courtesy of votes in the meetings, instead of being required to pay cash for stock, all of which was of course perfectly legitimate. Their action of Tuesday surpasses all dishonorable acts of treachery ever known in K. S. U. Ry it they gain only the execution of students and faculty. The uniting of the two fraternities thereby accomplished makes all "smole out loud" in derision and unites all students into more generous support of The Courier. While we are sorry to lose the boys support, they claim to be satisfied in the matter and we have no alternative.
LATER.—The stealing from our office of one of our subscription books from our office shows a spirit we did suppose was possessed by any young men in our school. Though we think we know the young man who perpetrated the dispisble trick we do not feel it is worth the trouble of severe measures.
As the following seems pertinent we publish it:
We, the undersigned officers of the Courier Company and members of the staff, declare all rumors of "consolidation" ludicrously false.
No CONSOLIDATION.

Gilmore looks hungry.—?
There are lots of mean men in his world, but the meanest one that is turned up lately is the landlord of the Summit House at Baldwin. Landlords are generally a jolly class of men, but this one in particular, is about the smallest-souled specimen of humanity that ever kept any kind of house except a pawn shop. When a sleighing party from the University stopped at his house for supper the other night, he counted his apoons before he let the representatives of the "Jaffel school" out of the room, he charged them just double his regular price, he insulted them in plain Anglo-Saxon when it was jokingly proposed to dance in the dining room, and finally threatened to call the "Marshal" because they sang some college songs in his hotel parlor. "That house I'll always patronize where're I go that way sir."
