To the one we think most of,
Here's to her valor and beauty we boast of.
Beauty is transient, will soon fade away,
A perfect copy
Of a poppy,
In clay.
Surely, they cannot mean what they say,
That it loses its power
In an hour
Or a day.
When a beautiful glance seems an imploring prayer,
How can a creature
Like a teacher
Be fair?
Her heart is of stone if he is, we declare;
For look at a card
As hard
As you dare.
Ignoring the five, not a figure is there.
That has the round grace
Of her face,
A d her hair.

A GIRL'S VIEW.
Of What Knowledge a Girl Should Have of Public Affairs?
It has been a matter of note in our University, how many girls have chosen studies on political and economic questions. The growing desire seems to be to acquire a more intimate knowledge of public affairs. However I am sorry to say most of the girls who have made themselves prominent by the extent and thoroughness with which they have engaged in studies of this have have been termed "strong minded," in a tone that carried with it, no very complimentary significance.
I think this very ungenerous in our male friends. If a girl wishes to inform herself on a subject about which she is often chided for her ignorance, she certainly should receive encouragement in doing so. It is not because we want to vote or anything, of that kind, that the girls are endeavoring to get this information. While a few girls may desire this privilege, the majority, and may I say, the most sensible of the girls do not. It is the principle of he matter that I regard.
It is the idea that the sterner sex regard our intellects in a pitying way and when we inquire into political affairs, answer us patronizingly and say, "It is something women cannot understand." If there is one phrase more than another in the English language that I thoroughly detest, it is that of "only a girl." The idea that some men should think that women should have no ambition higher than a broom handle and no thought that the steam of the laundry will not dissolve it, is maddening. But then I believe there are some men that are willing to give women their dues. In fact, I know there are
E. P. Whipple, in my estimation one of the best critics, says the discontent noticeable among American women is due to the lack of mental food, of which the small talk of most society deprives her. Deprived of the inspiration, energy and ambition which intellectual conversation supplies, unable to view the mighty problem of life from any other stand point than a ball room or the contemplation a milliner's
window affords her, she is only too apt to become imbued with Byronic misanthropy. She thinks life a tiresom round of society events of which she so soon becomes satiated and deems life not worth the living. For, being thrown back on her own resources, she finds there is no help for her enniu there, for she finds the dismal fact that she is a mental pauper. This deplorable state of affairs is in a great part the fault of women themselves. For I believe a total extinction of the silly chit-chat that now supplies the place of conversation in so many circles, calling themselves the best society depends upon the efforts of the woman. I have noticed in personal observation that real gentlemen adapt their conversation to the inclination of he lady with whom they may be talking and follow the lead which she may give them. Even those who are least intellectually capable of doing so, make priiable efforts to keep step with the pace she may lead them.
I feel I could write on indefinitely on this subject, but I have no doubt said enough.

Unity Club,
"Falka," by Andrews' Opera Company. The looked forward engagement of the Andrews' Opera Company was opened most auspiciously last evening by the presentation of "Falka," a comic opera, whose action passes in Hungary in the middle of the last century. A good house greeted the singers, and the hearty reception accorded the opera attests the success of the engagement.
Of the leading characters May Morgan's "Falka" was the favorite with the audience. This charming little lady has an extremely sweet and flexible voice, and her scores were sung with much intelligence. Her winsome stage manners and sprightly acting won her much favorable comment. In her lullaby, sung with Mr. Henshaw and a trio with Miss Clayton and Mr. George Andrews she was recalled. Miss Clayton made an admirable gypsy girl. She has a powerful voice, and does well in her dialogue parts. Mr. Henshaw, the first tenor, has an exceptionally pleasant manner, and his singing was heartily received last night, and will win him much praise before the engagement is finished. Mr. Parker, comedian, is admirable, and his "Tancred raises high expectations for his work here. Messrs. Andrews are well-known professionals and possess excellent voices, Mr. George Andrews, baritone, being especially appreciated in his soyo work. Mr. Ed. Andrews and Mr. Parker kept the audience in a roar. The chorous singing is strong, and shows careful training.
The lecture announced for last Monday by Col. H. L. Moore on Bacon and his works, was postponed on account of the weather but it will be given on Monday next. This paper created quite a sensation when given before the Zodiac Club and many who could not hear it then will be glad to avail themselves of this opportunity. The discussion which will follow will be interesting and all who can should attend.
A KANSAN man inquired especially to discover the opinion of the audience, and found a hearty satisfaction on the part of all. To-night Ermine will be presented.
