I sing q hymn OF the conquered, who fell In
tho battlo of life--
The bymn of the wounded, the beaten, who
died overwhelmed in the strife;
Not the jubilant song of tho victors from
whom tho resounding acclaim
or nations was lifted in chorus, whose brows
wore the chaplet Of fame;
But the hymn of the low and the humble,
the weary, tho broken In heart
Who stroye and who failed, acting bravely o
silent and desperate part,
Whose youth bore no flower In its branches,
whose hopes burned in ashes away,
From whose hand slipped the prize they had
erasped at, who stood at the dying Of day
With the work of their life all round them,
unpitied. unheeded. alone,
With death swooping down DER thoir failure,
and oil but their faith overthrown.
Whilo the voice of the world shouts It's cho-
rus, its pens for those who have won
While the trumpet is sounding triumphant,
and high to the broezs and the sun
Gay banners are waving hands clapping and
hurrying feet
Thronging after the laurel-crowned victora-
stand on the field of defeat
In the shadow, 'mong those who are fallen
wounded and dying-and there
Chant roquiem low, place my hand on theii
pain knotted brows, breathe q prayer,
Hold the hand that is hapless, and whisper,
"They only the victory win
Who have fought the good fight and have
yanquished the demon that tempts us
within;
Who have held to their faith. unseduced by
the prize that the world holds on high;
Who have dared for a high cause to suffer,
resist, fght-if need be, to die"
Speak history! Who are life's victors? Un
roll thy long annals and say:
Are thoy those whom the world called vic
tors, who won the success OF day4
The Martyrs, or Nero? The Spartans who
fell at Thermopyle's tryst,
Or the Persians and Xerxes2 His judges OF

Habits of Medical students.

"And you want to know something Of the
habits Of students, do youl Well, Chicago
has about 600 students, and most Of these
come from the country. New men are in
clined to talk very learnedly Of medicine,
but as the end Of the college course draws
near this inclination disappears. On the stu
dents first introduction TO the dissecting
room he is generally stimulated for the occa-
sion by some alcoholic preparation so that he
may habituate himself TO the overpowering
stencil. With trembling limbs, but wearing
q look Of haggard bravery, he approaches
the corpse for the first time, fully convinced
that medicine is not his forte. His assumed
air of Indifference is easily penetrated by
his older companions, who wink at each
otherEand slyly slip pieces Of amputated hui
man anatomy into his pockets. The corpse
which he has dissected follows him home, as
a rule, and gets into bed with him to sit
down upon his chest as soon as lie drops
asleep.n
At this point In his conversation the young
man seemed suddenly to recollect that he
was telling too much about the secrets Of q
medical students life. He looked suspi-
ciously around him, and buttoning up his long
overcoat in a professional way, soon van
ished within the college doorS.-Chicago

and dignity. 1t is to stand on the corner of
Worthington and Main streets, from which
it is recessed, and at the intersection Of the
angles rises a square tower ornate with tiers
of windows, and through the portals
Of which the postofIice will be reached.
A cloister connects this tower with
