St. Paul daily globe., 1891-04-26

Josbua's moon in Ajalon or the dial of Ahaz
will avail to make the 7:3O study bell alter its
wonied course. Frog pond will ever remain
tender memory in the hearts of the Hamline
students, and alas, only memory, for the
telling of trees, reveals the awful
fact that the Great Northern railway, which
for years had permitted the student to retain
undlSpufed possession until he thought il
was his very own, has sent its fiat forth that
track should be laid through its watery
depths. thus revealing that a corporation has
no soul, and soon Frog pond will vanish from
these terrestrial scenes, and the place thereof
shall know 1t no more. Requiescat i'll pace.
Only five more weeks signs the careworn
student, who for eight months has been delv-
ing i'll classic lore and burning midnight oil
over those old men who have been dead long
ago; but he holds nocturnal vigils in the in
tereSt OF astronomy, takes daily conStitu-
tionaIs in company with the goddess Flora,
and endeavors by searching 10 find out how
many years the old earth has swung on it's
axle. Five weeks more, and he will be
having vacation, why he doesn't
know, only that the powers that
be have always decreed that he
should permit to fall into desuetude for
three months what he has labored TO attain
during the rest of the year. The serious look
wise when you ask them what they are doing,
strike an attitude and repeat some oratorical
sentence, complacently saying THAT'S quite
Websterian, isn't it?' The girls are inter
ested in dry goods shops and dressmaking es-
adjustments. whether they shall have their
skirts just touch or trail half yard, and if a
Medlci collar would be more becoming or
simple frill of lace, while the only engaged
girl in the class twists the ring on her third
finger III dreamy way, and ponders the
question which distnrbs philosophers in all
ages what of the future?"
