nuaI Commencement Concert Fur
nishes an Enjoyable
Evening.

crowd the poetic muse took possession OF
of his fancy, and he stopped to take. in the
beauties of the evening Nature had pro
vided a most delicious evening. Fair Luna
highin the heavens shed "a shimmering sheen
the landscape Ger. Standing high above
the dusty city on the brink of the
imposing palisades which line that
romantic stream, Wheeling Creek,
he elevated his deer and per
mittcd the refreshing zephyrs to cool his
heated Uranium, and watt to his sensitive
olfactory nerves the odorous emanatiOns
from the floral vegetation in the vicinity.
The melIifuous warblings of the frogs in
the limpid stream far below him, recalled
his senses and he turned to enter the portals
of the Colleges. He was confronted BY a
vision of feminine loneliness who escorted
him to an eligible seat. The College Hall
