A THANKFUL REVERE.
Good cause have for happiness
That since my last Thanksgiving Day
The fateful word / did not say:
That on the beach one afternoon
I never quite proposed TO Nell,
That bound my life to dainty Dell;
That my good anger lowering nigh
At the right moment broke each chain.
Dissolved the spell of lip and eye,
And left free 10 love again
To love for aye!-Ah, Sybn mine,
To breathe that fateful word to you.

THE IDEAL STADIUM
T. The Stadium undoubtedly lacks a certain In
ashna6ls something certain je ne sails Guol-Harvard
When Ibsen bucks the centre.
For gains OF many yard;
And Browning's ghost plays bard
when soulful skins are punetured
And frenzied noodles Jared:
When sudermanns in crimson
Upset Sardous In blue
The field with wounded strew.
When Tolstoys Resurrection"
Is read TO bring men 10;
When Arthur
Is coaching all the pack.
The place OF taekIes-back
When Bernard Shaw is punting
Beyond the cinder track;
When crowds await D'Annunzio's
CThe referee'sl command
When Gerky leads the cheering.
And Richard Strauss the band
All. then THE Harvard Monthly
Will think the Stadium grand
