WELL, NOT THIS EVENING.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

'TWAS a bright and moon-light evening

As they wandered on the shore,

And she gently pressed his coat-sleeve,

As she oft had done before.

And they talked about his college,

While she charmed him with her looks;

Then she called him very naughty,

Not at all well up in books.

"Have you ever read," she murmured,

"Squees' Memoir? I wish you would."

"Well, since you insist," he whispered,

"I will try and be so good."

Take your arm away - you monster! -

From my waist, you awful man!

That's not what I meant at all, sir!

There, you're breaking my new fan!

" 'Twas the Life of Joseph Squees, sir,

And I think you're awful bad!

Am I angry? - Take me home, sir.

Yes, I am just fearful mad!"

'Twas a bright and moon-light evening,

As he wandered on the shore;

But no maiden pressed his coat-sleeve

As she used in days of yore.

A. DULLSTON SLOEMAN ("never went in for that sort of thing, you know"). - "I see how one can find out how large and how far away the stars are, but, by Jove! I don't quite see how they ever found out their names."

PRINCETON - Country College, run on the bloody shirt and muscular Christianity plan. Stands back from the main line of railroad, so that travellers may be free from injury by any of the numerous missiles always flying in the air.

Yale - The devil's favorite resort on earth.

Harvard - The Hub's pet institution. Full instruction in rowing and athletics. The "Harvard swing" given special attention. How to cut stylish pantaloons taught in one year. - Columbiad.

THE windows in Memorial Hall are works of art, and are of great value, and, though we do not wish to disparage the highly moral nature of Cambridge people in general, we cannot forget that there is a mischievous and malicious spirit present in every community. Therefore we can consistently ask if the College acts wisely in not protecting the Memorial Hall windows by a wire screen of some sort? As they now stand, a stone from the hand of a "Port Mucker," or from that of an inebriated Freshman, might cause several hundred dollars' damage, and put the University to great inconvenience as well, while the offender would be in little danger of detection.

'83.THE meeting of the Harvard Union of last night took place in Sever Hall. In spite of the cold weather and the meetings of several other societies on the same evening, the meeting was one of the most successful the Union has had. The question was: "Resolved, That co-education is desirable at Harvard." The regular disputants were, on the affirmative, Messrs. Firman and Mclnnes; and on the negative, Messrs. Thayer and Fuller. About a dozen members spoke from the House. Though the ballot on the merits of the question was two to one against co-education, the vote on the merits of the argument was three to one for it, although the negative was very ably argued.
