 To "observer."-MR. ED1roR:- We who are mourned for, feel rather in-
 clined
 To give the "Observer" a piece of our
 mind,
 Or rather, 'twere better to acknowledge
 the kindness,
 While we laugh in our sleeve, at her fol
 ly and blindness.
 There are reasons for forgetting the pas
 times of youth,
 And thinking that attention (without in
 tention) means marriage forsooth. For intellect, solitude, and observation
 combined,
 Would weaken the state, of even a phi
 losopher's mind.
 To be sure, it were we'll to feel anxiety
 keen
 For the state of affairs is deplorablc, l
 ween.
 But if chances here are slim, and VOWS
 remain unspoken,
 We'll take the fate of those who stay at
 home and sigh for marriage token. Oh ye who have tried to win the race,
 even by 8 hair-breadth line Teach us your arts, your foils, or sign We hay taken the alarm and will s'coun-
 sel" too;
 If our dear "Observer will tell us what
 to do.
 Ye townspeople all !! do bear the loud
 call:
 Heed ur'Observer" in her piteous vail : Some of us flowers have faded, and oth-
 CTS will decay,
 If no poor soul will pity, and pluckl us
 while they may.
 We look back on occasions spent in ln-
 nocent glee,
 Little thinking of seriousness, in such
 hiarity
 Or how many sObseryers," with their
 critical eye,
 Would copjure a wed-lock, as they sat
 or passed by.
 Why, to live with the muses on classical
 lore;
 To chat with professionals or students, g
 score:
 To dwell in such realms of intellectual
 bliss;
 Is it a wonder we take folly amiss Don't visit our tarongs unless fit for the
 game.
 Do stay at home, and seek sounding
 fame,
 For we agree with the poet, that "tun
 now and then,
 Is relished, and sought out by the best of
 men.
 Our thanks to MT. Editor, who felt so
 inclined,
 To tender his advice to the weak woman
 kind;
 But if we are left behind, and our maid.
 enhood is sealed,
 "Let the days roll alopg," tfor wounded
 hearts are healed.
