and metered'' by DARIUS lgnotus"
prominent member of the IS and BIZ of
College Hill, of which place he is adenizen.
This is expected TO surprise his brother
memb ers not a little, as. while several are
learned in Slawkenberg and Spinoza,
the existence in their midst of one who
wrestles with the oft invocated muse was
not dreamed of.
Our town is blest with lofty spires
Which mark the place where raging fires,
Once swept from earth its frosted herbs;
No flashing flames though now dlsIurbS
The strangers rest, the social call
To college. cottage, home or hall.
Societies. both old and new,
In numbers, now appear to view,
The Edmund Burke records its name,
As one of those which win fair fame;
The Crescent" too. still gains renown,
AS through the years it's handed down;
. lIacp ,,c- 1o lpp or
Is one of those which always are
The first to win the worlds applause
In due respect for Social laws;
''Hermenian"-the messenger
Still spreads its knowledge everywhere.
We have but one to mention still,
The and B. of College Hill,
Which is composed, OF young and old,
Who are endowed with powers untold.
OF tyroeS and the erudite,
OF lecturers both black ~ and white,
W no try to prove and often shows
The great importance of the nose
Another OF Wichita's charming and be-
loved young ladies has taken on her the
sterner, yet more feiIcItous duties of
loving vile, and one of the city's young
gentlemen assumed the Office where
Men must be Like the branch and bark to
trees,
Which doth defend them from tempestuous
rage
Clothe them in winter, tender them in
age"
