MERRY! MERRY! MERRY! YOU TERRIBLE VILLAIN Horrors! Great Living Pine Trees! What Horrible Brutality! Flee, You Insects. Flutter, flutter, flutter, little but ter, butterfly ! Flee, lear delicate lit tle thing! Hide not your head under your wing, for, lo! there is one vil lain pursuing thee. The Wider has his eye on you. So, flutter, flutter, . flutter little butter, butterfly 8 And you, Mr. Grasshopper, be ware lest ye fall in with evil com panions. For, though thou mightest. a not suspect, the Wider seeks to put thee in his net. And then you will be a martyr to the cause of science, to be viewed by freshmen even greener than thou art. So beware, Mr. Grasshopper, beware. Yes, all the beasts of the insect kingdom are in danger. Give the daring young professor a chance andl he will nab them by the neck and cut them up piece by piece. Cruel thing ! Horrors to the terror-strick en! Great toad frogs! Highways, roads, streets and even LaMotte's Bottoms are invaded by this destroyer of happy, peaceful homes of spiders, elephants and kissing bugs. But though they wail and though they cry, the terrible general leads on his noble band, slaying without mercy, even the humblest earthworm. Can one help but sigh? "How ere it be, it seems to me, 'tis only noble to be good : Kind hearts are more than coronets and simple faith than Nor man blood." Yes, Merry goes on these daily jaunts with as much vim and as much pleasure as if he were going to welcome one within "our midst" or to say in splendid tones, "A Mer ry, Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year." Now, if some bee should side right up to thee, terrible foe, and sting thee, wouldst thou be stir prised ? Certainly not, for the bees are seeking vengeance. In mass they are determined to stop the on slaught. They say that you. Merry. are as sweet as sweet can be, but so much the better. But such is this world! W'hen eart h's last ball game is ended( And the hats are twisted and dried, And the youngest rooter is v'an qutished, A\nd the oldest knocker has dhied, WVe shall rest; and, faith, w.e shall nieed it. -Exchange.
