Unsophistication Personified.
I met a jolly joker, and we had a game of poker Just to pass away the time. We played straight-call in Fraternity Hall And the limit of the game was a dime.
I had hard luck and was finally struck Three dollars was I to lose, But the victor, nice, made a compromise On a half-dozen oyster stews.
And now I feel, that Once is enough for me,
I played against a girl,
She set my head awhirl,—
And I haven't played poker since.
The Summer Girl.
A half-reclining form
In a "sleepy-hollow" chair;
A cloud of curls that storm
About her beauty fair;
Two laughing eyes that tell
A shyly answered "Yes;"
A dainty hand to—well,
Say simply to caress.
An airy little sprite
In a billowy flood of lace,
Which flutters in its flight
In the galop's tripping grace.
And O the broken hearts
Which follow the rapturous whirl
O the Redfern gown and the arts
Of the annual summer girl.

A Tragedy.
Four boys,
Much noise;
A gun,
Such fun;
A sudden roar,
One victim more;
Three boys instead of four. - Ex.
Little Preps and Freshies,
Little Sophs sedate,
Make the mighty Juniors
And the Seniors great.—Ex.
Poor Freshman!
Willie has one trouble And it fills his soul with wrath Though he trots his Greek and Latin, He's obliged to plug his Math. -Ex.
If of all the words of tongue or pen The saddest are "It might have been," More sad are those we daily see; "It is, but hadn't ought to be."—Harte.
