THE HEARTS OWN DAY.

This is the hearts oYn day;
With dreaming eyes
Life seems to lock away
Beyond the skies
Into, some long-gone May
A May that cannot die;
Amid whose hills
Youths heart goes singing by
Mid daffodils,
With Love the young and. shy.
Love of the slender form
And eliish face,
Who with uplifted arm
Points to one face
A place of old.time, charm
Where once May lilies grew
For Love. to twineI
With violets, white, and blue,
And columbine
OF gold and crimson hue.
Gone is the long ago
Gone LIKE the wind;
And Love we used to- know
Sits dumb and blind,
With locks Of winter snow.
And by, him Memory
Sits sketching back
Into the. Used-to-be.
In white and black.
One flower on his knee;
t 81 @
Like Youths own heart
And fills the day with dreams
And is a part
OF the old love, it seems.
And touches into tints
or fairyland
This day, and makes a prince
OF him whose hand
She holds-his princess since.

THE PARADE OF THE UNDER
CLASSMEN.

(By A. E. Burgess, 15.)
Twas on a Sunday evening
That to the band I listened.
Out on the college campus.
Where the mellow sunlight glisten
ed.
The joys. the fears
OF younger years,
And boyhood recollection
or deeds unsung
When we were young
Came back In retrospectiop.
Five hundred in parade
Now stood once more before me;
They who had cast aside W
Their all for college glory.
The Junior officers
Up higher now had stepped;
From one extended line
The Seniors close watch kept.
As ever before
But now no more
Out stepped the playing band.
The. rhythmic thrum
OF martial drum
Was heard, both, deep and grand.
At first the air was lively,
AS though we all felt gay,
But next they played of home
And well they might that day.
Before the watching Seniors
The corps passed. in parade,
Then every cap came off
And cross the heart was laid.
This tribute rare
They gave us there
And made our nerves to thrill.
When we were through,
The bugles blew,
Old Dixie" with will.
The band. played once again
o Home, Sweet Home" perhaps.
And Joined the bugle corps,
In. sounding, slOWly-tapS.
Such loyalty as this
Has seldom e'er been, seen,
Tradition will their story tell
And memory keep, it green.
The crimson flood
That was their blood
From heros' veins were taken;
A Southern. brood
In "Stonewall" mood
They marched with, minds mistaken.
For on that winters day,
While rhythmic drums were beating,
They cast their lot as one,
And stood without retreating.
