And sadly reduced MoCarthy's fence

And we built her and launched her. and sailed to Tsetee
On a Saturday morning in May.
And all that summer. como rain or shins,
To the wide worlds ends would 70 sai,
Loading with gems from the Kafir mine.
Harpooning the polar whale.
And the pirate and savage OF oannibai chimes
We slaughtered in many a row.

Though billiards may fear or sheer,
When duty calls DER the untried sea.

Sail forth on the shoreless tide.

With tho star CLEAN Of truth for your guidei

And tho stir and the fun he madei

Wandered far from the track. you see.
Yet kingly OF heart and hand.
He went to the devil so gioriousiy
That the down.hill road was grand.
And at work by his fathers bench the mate
Looks out on tho old.time street,
Where grown folk pass with placid gaia
And the children's lively feet.

The Oid-Tine CircuA

from ~ 4 FONt.
Tho circus thirty years ago was better far than bowl
That elephant vas o wonder Just TO seoi
l could watch him half q day
As he fed himself with hay;
And each separate beast was worth the price 10 me.
Never clown was half SO funnyi never monkeys half
so droll;
All the tinsel was pure metal then to met
Every acrobat. amazing; every rider. simply great
And that small trapeEe man-what q man va hei
And when the woman sang. I'VE Parted by the River
side."
And you'll Mo- Forget" and "Yonrl Remember
Me-"
She was really so pathetic
That l wiped my eyes and cried;
I wanted then to take her homo with mo.
The shows we see in these days are never half % nneI
The cost OF tickets often rothers me;
Though the man still cracks his whip,
And the clown seems pretty nip.
There IL nothing much l care to hear or zoe.
Thoughts OF business, taxes. losses; rheumatism.
other crosses,
All combine to make the circus seem quite nat,
I no longer love the songstress, with her paint and
frills and dosses;
I no longer want to take her homo, at that!
But I'd like to see the old.time show Of thirty yoar1
ago.
when wore no pointed shoes-my feet were bare,
When lemonade vas nectar .
And peanuts werc n Joy;
That old show without 4 worry or Q carsi

That was her Joy and pridst
But 800 her equanimity
Received . dreadful oheok-
Rude Boreas tool that.Rracefui skirt
And wrapped Il round her necki
She gathered all her mental force
To solve this monstrous riddle.

Exactly in the middle.
She shortened it and then did sew
A scan on either side.
And in her new divided skirt
She proudly forth did ride.
But when she'd worn It Just Q week

Divided skirts had lately been
Succeeded by the Bioomor.
She put Q wide elastic bana
In the hem below the knee,
which made 90 neat o bioomer

But 10 her most aesthetic eye
IL really seemed distastefui,
Tho way those ploomers Topped sbous
Was shocking and d%isEraceful.

And 10Y she rides in kni~ckerbockors

From Wellesley LvrtoS.
We're a.studyinR OF Literature
As hard as e'er we cant
We doto on revolutions
And tho brotherhood OF man.
We're returning to the people
with = truly lyric cry;
And for democratic spirit
Wed lay us down and die.
we're a.reAding OF philosophy
To ma out why we be,
And a.leArnlng that external worlds
Lie wholly in the me.
We don't believe in matter, .
And OF mind we're not quite SurSi
We're Inclined TO think uncertainties
host likely to endure.
We're G.studyinR geology
or prehistoric times,
Before the tides OF primal see
Got written into rhymesi
When the ''old world spun forever"
Ana the poets never knew IT.
And all the rocks, and stones, ana things,
Were nicely mixed Op through i.
We're s.lookinK at mo pictures
Made by people what are dsAdi
And NO c~ritlcisn cathedrAls
With q RuSkin at our head.
We're a.growing awful learned
There's lots more OF the kind
But we do not MN confessing
That It's all . Deasrly grind.

Old King Cole
Was q merry old soul.
AND q merry old soul was hot
He called for has pipe and he called for his bowl,
And no called for his nddlers three.
30 old King Cole
Got his pipe and his bowl.
But his nddiers. where were theyf
They had'mounted,t their wheels. each Jovfai soul,
And merrily ridden away!
80 old King Cole
Spurned his pipe and his bowl,
And he said to his Save, said hot
