IICu every pOsSlDle pOlnC OF
view, the meeting of the Pierian
Circle last Sunday was the best
that has been held for many
weeks. This was wholly due to
the papers read in thatthe subjects
and the manner in which they
were treated afforded much oppor-
tunity for discussion, which, at
times seemed inclined not to abate.
Two of the papers, the critic
said, seemed to be related, as they
treated, in a broad sense, much
the same topic, tho each took up a
different phase-one setting forth
the relation between teacher and
scholar, and the other dwelling on
the graded school" features Of
our public schools.
A paper condemning the insur-
ance Investigations excited the ire
of some of the pious members, who
proceeded to attack some of the
pet theories Of the author with the
declaration that if we uphold the
practice of graft, all will eventual
ly become grafters, which, it was
surmised, would not be altogether
agreeable-to the grafters.
That 1--WE can not sometimes al
ways tell" is ever true, was exem-
plifed by one Of the members,
when, under very modest title,
he treated the circle to brand of
wit and humor seldom heard, and
it is hoped that he will again con-
descend to entertain.
After few remarks by the crit
ic, general discussion ensued, con-
sisting chiefly in making
suggestions for the revision of the
by laws which was decided upon
at a previous meeting.
One new member was admitted,
making the present enrolment
twenty-eight. The program of the
day is as follows:
Glass Report Professor and STUDENT
Special RepOrt-"The Folly of the Insurance
Investigation" ...... Secretary
Glass RepOrt-"An Appreciation of AnglO-Saxon
Virtues" .............. Member of class

Tn the Graveyard on the Bill.

Oft I've strOlled along the pathway
Thru the woodland cool and still;
Often has spirit led me
To the graveyard on the hill.
Thru the boughs the softened sunlight
Gave the leaves golden TINT
On the hilltop in its dazzle
Flashed the tombstones' FURNISHED flint.
All, my soul was then in blossom
And paused amidst the trees
AS a whisper seemed to call me
From fragrant transient breeze.
Overhead a crow, dlscordant,
Cawed an angry challenge down;
In the brush squirrel scamper'd,
And started at the sound.
All the woodland was palace
Came the fancy at its WILL
l, the prince to meet my princess
In the graveyard on the hill.
On its mOssgrOwn, flow'r- decked carpet
Stepped lightly thru it's halls;
In the breath that filled it's chambers
could hear spirits call.
And l, wandering 'mOngst the headstOnes,
Pluck'd rose in full bloom there;
Gave 1t to my smiling princess
And she twined it in her hair.
Some have termed the graveyard barren,
Symbol of awaiting death;
All, the souls Of those departed
III f1,i hi
But those days have long been buried
In the cemetery where
l was wont to build my castle
Fancy's castle in the air.
Yet the prince would be dreaming
In that woodland palace still,
Tho my princess was no seeming
In the graveyard on the hill.

I'VE for something, have purpose,
And that purpose keep in view;
Drifting like hemess vessel,
Thou canst ne'er to life be true.
Half the wrecks that strew life's ocean,
If some star had been their guide,
Might have now been riding safely,
But they drifted with the tide.
Live for something, and live earnest
Though the work may humble be,
BY the world of men unnotfced,
Known alone to God and thee.
Every act has priceless value
To the architect of fate;
IT'S the spirit of thy doing
That alone will make it great.
Live for sOmething-GOd and angels
Are thy watchers In the strife,
And above the smoke and conflict
Cleans the victOr's crown of life.
Live for something; God has given
Freely of His stores divine;
Richest gifts of earth and heaven,
If thou willest, may be thine.
