Before the Crate.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
A song that old and always new,
A story none can quite explain,
A wool of dreams that stretches through
The farthest deeps of JOY and pain;
A bit of music men have sung,
And still must sing. till Time is late
Is that old song l find among
The blazing embers in the CRATE.
A power that is more than art,
Yet homely with the soul of home,
That brings to every human heart
Tales of old times where'er we roam:
Old faces, forms, old loves. perhaps.
Old hopes and fears that wreathed our
fate.
Come flooding back when Memory taps
My shoulder at the blazing CRATE.
Old. and yet sweeter for its age,
Like growing wealth of aged wine;
Thrice-told, yet. for the oft-turned page,
Dearer to hearts like yours and mine.
Old song. l sing you DER again.
With welcome to your ancient state:
Old dreams. now may you long remain
To cheer us at the blazing CRATE.

. Russian Advance"

From "The Russian Advance
Admiral Alexieff makes upon you the
impression of almost abnormal alertness.
His life has been devoted with the en-
thusiasm of a boy to the growing power
of Russia. He is perhaps fifty years of
age and instinct with nervous energy. His
step is impetuous. The whole movement
of the man is full of dash. His talk is the
yocaiization of force; his attitude, even
when sitting in conversation, Is that of
bolt-upright intentness. Alexieff is in
formed very frank. open. never hestating
to formulate a reply and giving you his
opinion quite off-hand. He is as quick as
Admiral Dewey of whom again and again
YOU are reminded when talking to him.
His days are full of toll; indeed most of
his nights are full of toll also.

From the Lampoon.
When the Faculty wits
Are giving you fits
~ jocular mention of Els,
BY humorous quips
Concerning the slips
'Twixt students and students degrees;
When you're terribly mad,
Or deplorably sad
At the close of a chat with the Dean,
When the sun looks awry
In a nondescript sky,
And the world is a yellowish green;
Then fly from the town,
Roam woods up and down,
Obvious of space and of time,
Sit sadly on stones,
Give ponderous groans
And sing of your sorrows in rhyme.
Then take them around
To students profound,
Far deeper than Browning or James,
IT'S likely enough
They will publish the stuff
In the next, but I'll mention no names.

Night in the Park.

Night In the Park.
BY Clinton Scotland.
Draws closely round the pallid park
The purple mantle of the dark
The arc-lights burn with brilliant CLEAN,
And blur the starlight to a dream.
The frost bites bitterly; a fiue
Seems the long reach of Avenue
Where through the old wind keens and
cries
Its world-sad winter agonies.
Cold knouts the late footfarers on:
Their hasting shadows, weird and wan,
Blend with the wavering dim-etched lines
Where limb with gaunt limb intertwines.
There are no loiterers-but stay!
What crying, crouching forms are they
Where, meath the nights IMPLYING sting.
The very seats stand shivering?
Men!-sotted haply, and to all
Disgrace and grim dshonor thrall.
Yet men,-Does pity still abide?
Not in the city's heartless side
