A PHOTOGRAPH.


This is her shadow, nothing more;
The eyes that wear no smile for mine,
The silent lips that laughed before,
The hair without its wave and shine.
This mask that shows no spark divine.
How calm and cold It looks ut me;
Her eyes were tull of shade and sun;
A look that rippled like the sea
Across whose breast the light winds rlin.
A CLEAN, cloud, tale begun.
This is the veil her soul put on
To run the weary ways of earth,
And when her brief, bright race was won
She laid 1t down beside her hearth,
A WORKOUT thing of little worth.
II is not she that fronts me here,
RMS speeches. aspect, still and cold;
knew her fair, and sweet, and dear,
A cinging girl wi heart of gold,
And hands that claSped with tender hold.
Was 1t gentle prophecy,
This slight, transparent mold of clay,
To let the loving round her see
HOW soon that soul must fit away,
That huttered, paused, but made no stay?
mot here, but risen" 0, angel song
stu falling soft on hearts that weep!
This is the dead, whose ashes long
Her Masters messengers shall keep
Safe in earth's last, undermining sleep.
But she who wore this mortal guise
Has fled beyond our fearful Sight;
joyful and strong serene and wise,
she lives upon the hills of light,
And waits MS on that Heavenly height

The luxurious style in which many
Harvard students live is said by O cor
respondent of the Hartford C0urant to
have become crying evil. Poor young
men require much more fortitude and
self-reliance than used to be the case to-
go through the course in open poverty.
The professors, however, have not fallen
into extravagant ways. One dresses
so plainly, and with so little regard to
modern fashion, that he is described as
positively quaint. Their manners are so
unaffected and simple that the contrast
between them and the airs of some Of
the students is striking. The freshmen
are the grandest of all.
