DES
MY FAITH.
The two sonnets given below were written by Profs. Carruth and A. G. Canfield for the magazines. The first "My Faith" appeared in the New England Magazine for April. The other, "Lieder Ohne Worte" was to the February number of the "Cosmopolitan."
ARTHUR GRAVES CANFIELD.
Be not an anchor, O my faith to lie
On ground you once stood, For here
I am.
be not known by any of us
on ocean a few miles farther deep.
The water often throps to sleep.
And tumult of the waves comes never nigh.
Thy task to clutch and blindly cling and keen
And'e'en beyond the glimpse of day's great eye.
My boat at rest,—in front the self same sweep
Of well-known coast, o'er head the selfsame
Nay, rather, when the mighty winds are free,
As thou the needle loyal to thy north,
Thou hast thy wickly heart.
First try to ask the utmost isse explore.
Better go down amid the temples roar
But go down amid the tempests roar
In land-locked jacks and put not
forth.
At hearing of the loud-entreating sea.
LIEDER OHNE WORTE.
The high unearthly sweetness of these sires, Wrung out long, long ago, by Love and Grief, From the great master's heart-strings, relief Thrilling thus passionately through the years Rather than break outright, into our ears, Steals softly unannounced, a kindly thief, And breathing on our dusty strings in brief Sets them to singing, and we stand in tears.
Type of the joys and woes of thousands, woe
Serenely and untrumped, but turned Into the voiceless music of loving deeds, Whose influence infeeble is borne Round the great globe to cheerless souls that
yearned.
In darkness for this answer to their needs.
EXCHANGE NOTES.
The College Rambler in its last issue has an interesting letter from Syria.
The Miami Student gives a sketch and portrait of the late General Robert C. Schenck in its last issue. General Schenck graduated from Miami in 1827.
Again the soup rolls merrily around the U. of N's candidate for oratorical greatness in the late state contest. But we are not discouraged. We shall try again next year. Perhaps by that time the Wesleyan will have graduated some of her ministers of rather mature years and will be no more dangerous than was Doane after she graduated the man who defeated us on two different occasions. We presume that anything is fair, however, and so we will not make any objections even though some of the minor institutions see nt to send some of their faculty to represent them at the state contest. In these contests some one must be defeated and it is the proper thing for us to take our defeat with good grace and see that the man who represents Nebraska in the inter-state contest has the strangest support possible. Sail, in Brother Ferguson, we hope that you may be as successful in the coming contest as you were in the one that is past.—Hesperian.
We can sympathize with you Fate seems to be down on us State Universities. We too are hoping that after a while Baker will graduate her young theological orators, and Washburn her oratorical missionaries. Meanwhile it falls to the lot of Mr. Naylor to do up the Nebraska Wesleyan man next month.
Local artists should consult Barse 1219 Main Street Kansas City for artists material.
The Wesleyan has tried the eighty-five per cent. rule for one term. The general opinion is that it is a good thing. The Faculty are pleased with it, and the greater share of our students give it their hearty approval. The complaints which have come to our ears were more of a personal nature than of a general application. When our students realize that faithfulness to their own best interests will lengthen a three day's vacation to a week, and do away with the examination grind, we are induced to believe that the number of those who take the examination at the end of the term will be materially decreased. Yet the lengthened vacation and the escaped examination are but little of the benefit. —Elite Journal.
Here is something we clip from the Westminster Review that is just tip-top. We doubt if the thought here contained could have been better or more aptly expressed. The person who wrote it certainly did well to get so much into so small a space:
"Be yourself. Don't attempt to be somebody else; for, in the first place, you can't do it, and, in the second, if you could do it, there would be no earthly use for two people exactly alike. This world would no more admit two Julius Caesars or two Bonapartes than two Gods. You are a cog made to fit a certain notch and there are no other notches like yours and no other cogs like you, and when you are gone your notch will be gone also. So don't try to trim yourself or patch yourself to fit some other man's notch, for you can't get into it while he is in it and when he is gone there will be no such notch to fill, and you'll have to settle down into your own peculiar notch at last. Lots of people seem to think a dead person's place is left for some one to fill, but his own place is one thing a man takes with him out of this world.
There is no body else so fortunate as to have a monopoly on yourself. Do you want to be somebody else and yourself at the same time? If you will attend to your own business you'll have your hands fall without trying to shoulder the responsibility of some one else. Be yourself, if you can't there is only one alternative, be nobody."
