Into the campus parading in state Comes now the Fresh all prepared for their fate, Ties all of green and with bows on their shoes, Bands on their hats all of various hues; U.yes of all opcn with mouths all agape, Ponpxa<1ours brushed into intest of shape, Shouting with laughter and raising a roar, Threatening to break in the Sopho more's (loor.

Wild ducks and wild others of riyth mical beat Fly south on the wings of the breeze, To join their' friends of the aerial fleet, Disporting in tropical seas. The winds of the autumn are wailing their glee, But there's a voice that ig nearer, and alone, From the corner of my room it is call ing to me In an alluring and leathery tone. I. cannot imagine just what it can be. For the place where the calling is heard Is littered with rubbish of every de gree, So the thought of one's hiding's absurd. "Oh, come to my rescue," it plain tively cries, "I just feel it's the time of the year For football full-blown in spirals to rise, And your jersey is close by me here!" Oh, yes, it's that football I've tried to forget, (lut I'm glad I have striven in vain), I'll go to that corner and excavate yet That curer of many a pain.

As a mother fondles her babe on her knee Teaching it right from wrong in things primitive, So thou takest the youth, raw and un cultured, Arming him with veapons to fight life's battles.

A fewv short years he is tossed on life's ocean Using all his strength against the great billows; Then wVrinkled, with hair as white as the snowflakes, It seems but a day. and he is an old Mian.

Game Called Off. We are very soriry indleedl that the game of football between Ridgewvood and Carolina has been called off. The men at Ridlgewvoodl were very kind last year and gave us a good game. We thank them most heartily for their efforts in our behalf, and appreciate very highly the spirit which prompted them to give us a game.

The Clariosophic and Euphradian Literary Societies held their first meet ing for the session of '10-'11 last Saturday night, September 24th. We feel very much encouraged, and the prospects for a great work during the present session is very bright, if number is to be considered anything. Between ninety and one hundred new men were elected regular members of the two societies, over half of which were initiated. There are many others, to the knowledge of the writer, who are go ing to unite, in the near future, witli one of the two societies. We feel safe in predicting for the society a session of progress and prosperity from the impression that the new faces have made upon us. Still there are some who are linger ing by the wayside with their minds unsettled as to w'hether they will join at all or not. Men, if there is anything that we can do to show you your condition, to point out to you just what you are depriving yourself of, we shall -more than gladly do it. But we are confi (lent that you are aware of this, that the trouble has its source in other quarters. We are very grateful to Governor Ansel for touching upon the impor tance of uniting yourself with one of the literary societies, in his address of welcome last Wednesday. And we sincerely hopc that every new man will, as soon as possible, join with us in the effort to teach men "the habit of sound thinking," and just how to express these thoughts. We need you, for our sake, for the society's sake, and, greatest of all, for your own sake. Join vith us. At a joint imeeting of the two socie ties, Mr. P. L. Wright handed in his resignation as business manager of TuE G.MjiEcocic, and Mr. R. F. Simp son was elected to fill the position ; also Mr. Augustus Garfield Hart was elected assistant business ianager of The Carolinian. The Euphradian Society elected Mr. D. C. Heyward, Jr., to take tile place of Mr. Lipsconb, who did not return to Carolina. as assistant editor of TinE GANECOCK. Bible Conference.
