KANSAS UNIVERSITY WEEKLY.
Not Work, But Worry.
It is not the work, but the worry,
That wrinkles the smooth, fair face,
That blends gray hairs with the dusky,
And robs the form of its grace;
That dims the lustre and sparkle
Of eyes that were once so bright,
But now are heavy and troubled
With a weary, despondent light.
It is not the work, but the worry,
That drives all sleep away,
As we toss and turn and wonder
About the cares of the day.
Do we think of the hands' harder labor,
Or the steps of the tired feet?
Ah! no, but we plan and ponder,
How to make both ends meet.
It is not the work, but the worry,
That makes us sober and sad,
That makes us narrow and sordid
When we should be cheery and glad.
There's a shadow before the sunlight,
And ever a cloud in the blue,
The scent of the roses is tainted,
The notes of the song is untrue.
It is not the work, but the worry. That makes the world grow old, That numbers the years of its children Ere half their story is told; That weakens their faith in heaven And the wisdom of God's great plan, Ah!'tis not the work, but the worry, That breaks the heart of man. —Somerville Journal.
The invitations for the Kappa party will be issued Monday. The party will be in Pythian hall on the night of Feb. 8th.

For his leading lady, Mr Downing has secured Mis Alberta Converse, a talented and beautiful young woman, possessing a magnetic personality, which, with the success attending her efforts this season' have won for her the prophecy of a future equally as the career of Mary Anderson.
