THE FLEETING SHOW.
Some of Its Facts and Fancies.
Written for the JOURNAL AND CouRIER.l
NOWADAYS.
Now are frosty ewes and noon tides golden;
Empty nests by wind-tossed branches rocked;
Dying leaves in ruddy splendor glowing;
It is Oct.
Now with fabrics rich, and warm and sombre,
Are the merchants windows richly stocked;
Fans and flowers make way for felt and feathers;
1t is Oct
Now the nut-brown maybe goes out a-wall1ing
Smartly in a tartan plaid be-frocked;
Picture hat enwreathed with nodding plumage;
1t is Oct.
'Tis the moon Of wedd;ngs-and of chestnuts;
Hopes and tennis balls, are skyward knocked;
Learning gets the go-by from athletics;
1t is Oct. .
Linger with us, month of royal splendor!
When the woodland ways with drifts are
blocked,
Well recall thy joyous hours, lamenting

CANNIBALISTIC.
To the astonishment of some of the
dwellers in this center of culture. and to
the alarm and dismay of some others, this
advertisement appeared not long since in
our daily journals:
WANTED
A student eating club, etc.
Evidently the club has not yet been formed
or has failed to secure the food it was de-
signed to consume, as all sorts and condi-
ton of students are to be seen upon our
streets, stepping about jauntily, yet in a
somewhat circumspect manner, and al
ways banded together in little companies,
for mutual protection, lest the purveyo1
of this club should fall upon them un.
awares.
Have we cannibals among us, or was il
only meant for ''scare," or shall we place
this advertisement among other curiositie:
of literature, where haste or carelessnes,
has led people to express themselves in {
way they did not intend. Thus a Boston
| clergyman advertised for ga young man te
| take care of a span of horses of religious
turn of mind, and another person ask.
| for "a nurse in a small gentleman's fami
| ly," while Texan ranchman applied fol
"a boss hand over five thousand sheel
that can speak Spanish fluently."
1t is probable that our advertisement be
longs with this list of crudely expressed
and misleading ''Wants" There are N,
anthropophagi in this good City of Elms

freshmen may cast aside all fear on thi
score. He may be suspended, but it viii
never be in our markets.
