THE REASON.
evy's
My lover never smiles on me.
Nor ardent words of love I hear,
He never comes a wooing me—
My lover loves me not, I fear.
And though he coolly passes me
Without a word, I do not mind;
Fact is dictor mirabile,
I have my lover yet to find. — Dartmouth
AN OLD SONG REVISED.
Wmo?
YOU?
A very tall young man,
A nose-in-the young man,
With very long hair
And very large air,
An k-know-it all young man,
A most unobtrusive young man,
A pardon-my-living young man,
With a woe-begone look
And a hamble crook.
At-the-joints-of his-knees young man.
Few?
A quite good-looking young man,
I think-so-ye self young man.
Without very much brains
or cardine pains;
A very good-looking young man.
AFTER MR. RILEY.
[K.C.News.]
I allers liked to travel with the funny cuss,
BILL NYE,
The people kinder tuk ter us; our wienin's they
wuz high.
But a cloud it riz between us when a-feeling
somewhat dry
I took, perhaps, too big a horn
Of
Good
Old Rye.
Now, who'd a thought a cuss like Bill would kick on little things.
He don't look like no angel; leastwise he's got no wings.
But he riz right up and kicked me out, and that's the reason why
A split hez come 'twixt JAMES WHITCOMB An'
Philological Club.
Browning was the subject chosen for discussion by the club last Friday evening, and was an interesting occasion.
"The paper of the evening on Browning's life was read by Miss Anna McKinnon. Born in 1842, he attended University College, London, and early began writing verses, Byron being his first model. His first published poem "Panlers," appeared when he was only twenty. He then spent some three years in Italy and Russia, exploring old libraries and studying the people. It 1846 he married Miss Elizabeth Barrett without the consent of her father, with her then spent fifteen years in Italy, until her death. From that time he lived mainly in London, though sometimes in Italy. Though he was continually publishing, the years 1870-80 were the most prolific. He died in Venice. He was a strong, simple, genuine character, vivacious, a fine conversationalist, fond of society, full of sympathy for all men. His briskness and vehemence of talk and manner made him seem more like an American than an Englishman.
Robert Browning died in Italy, where he had lived for many years. Italy acted as an inspiration to him. Although he lived in Italy so long, he yet remained English to the core. Browning was a metaphysical poet. He wrote much of the human soul, and of its hidden workings. Human nature was his appropriate subject.
One of his leading characteristics is his perfect sameness and wholesomeness. He sees what is, and is never depressed, but always hopeful for the future. He is confident that the issue of the struggle will be good."
"It is granted by students of Browning that he is obscure—nay even that there are passages which are seemingly inexplicable. But the poet's fame does not rest upon his obscurities. He has left
The paper on Browning'a notes was read by Prof. Dunlap.
enough that is lucid, simple and grand to give him eminent rank as a poet. Poetry whose significance cannot be gained by earnest effort; poetry which continually baffles, may please for anwhile as a puzzle pleasures, but ultimately it will go to the wall. Time will deal as inexorably with Browning's poetry as it has dealt with other poetry. The lucid and the great will survive, the rest will be forgotten and unread. One should make his first acquaintance with Browning's poetry through his lyrics and briefer poems. After learning something of his methods—something of his mode of thought, he may pass to the greater poems. In order to know Browning well we must give him our best mental efforts, we must dwell much upon his thought, and after awhile what we apprehend merely from the intellectual point of view, will reveal hidden beauties to us."
The Science Club 'It."
The University Science Club composed of faculty members and students interested in the physical sciences is a most learned and serious body, and the meetings of the club are characterized by an exhibition of deep thought and unswerving attention to serious matters that is truly commendable. But such fearful brain work must be compensated for, and to do away with danger of "brain fag" on the part of the members an annual performance is held about February 1, which fully makes up in its extreme hilarity and devotion to subjects other than serious ones for the preceding half-years work.
Friday evening the members and a new guests chosen for their choice wiis, in session assembled, did their best to make the Megatherium come down from his perch, and the dry bones of the museum skeletons rest in appreciation of the rare old time indulged in. Such wonderful yoomerists are scientists when they stimulate their humorous brain-centers! The honorary members, Dr. B. W. Woodward and Mr. Jos. Savage were out, and added their mite which was larger than the widow's to the general darnfoolishness. Mr. Woodward's story of the "man and the elephant" would make a horse laugh or a bacterium wriggle. Such a conglomeration of puns and deformed facts can be excelled neither by a Nye letter, nor a Kansas City Time's resubmission correspondent. As a walking delegate of an Ananias club, Prof. Dyche is unsurpassed. His lies scare the consumption out of a man in thirteen minutes; take no other and notice the label. Dr. Moore, one of the choice witted guests, read a rattling rhyme of riddles. Prof. Sayre, Mr. Slosson, Mr. Franklin, Mr. Eames, Mr. Short, and others shied their respective castors into the ring and contributed largely to the general melee. The whole affair went off like a paper bag spanked on the bottom, and the casualties were unusually light. The program, as exhibited on a towel roller was a perfect hurricane of wit, "and i is regretted it cannot be reproduced."
Prof. Snow has accepted the invitation of Unity Club to talk next Monday night on "The Distribution of Animals on the Earth." This paper, or talk rather, was given before the Old and New Club recently, and was greatly enjoyed by those present. In giving it before Unity Club, the professor gives an opportunity to all interested to hear for themselves. A cordial invitation is extended to students to be present.
