Or old cousin Ed and May
'Ve gone and had another ba-
By, I guess.
What if John has lost, poor man,
Little Clementine or Nan,
Or his wife!
Oh, the hopefulness, the fears!
Oh, the rapture! Oh, the tears!
Of this life!
I don't like the thing a bit;
I don't dare to open it;
How I shake!
Why, It's from that man of mine:
"_Will bring partner home to dine;
Get a steak."_

~Relapse.~
I study Evolution,
And hear the teacher tell
How we have all developed
From an isolated cell;
And in the examination
Some fellows make it plain
Their principles will bring them
To the starting-point again.

~Yale, A.D. 2000.~
Far from the ball-room's crowded throng
These two had strolled apart,
While he with fervor whispered of
Her image in his heart.
And that he might detain it there
Forever from that day,
Our Co-ed shyly gave to him
A Yale lock long and gray.
_Yale Record_.
~In Maiden Meditation.~
"Were I a man," quoth Mistress Jane,
"Ah, would I were!--I'd drink champagne
And smoke--be dashing in my dress--
And let my roving eyes express
A love I never entertain.
