We ave no longer little boy to he washed and dressed ant1 rushed oil to 81nday school l entreaty at first ; or a branc pulled off of the "1old applo tree" if necessary.

T ie say that, it will insure gooI Men. But this I aml sorry tc say is a very poor insuranec policy. Presidents of the Soci eties, ('aiecock and Carolini an1 edit.ors are as likely to makc Mistakes and choose their friends as any other societ,3 mllember. The professor is not able to judge who will makc thie best officer. The way in which the publications are con ducted today, although not by ay means perfect is at least. a workable pAnRI.

Why, are there not one hundred and ten seliors? "Scribbler." Yell Aloud ! Then Listen to the Echo Wilie peruin1g your wvorthy' publ)1icaitionl last wVeek I chlancedI to spy that not{ewo)rthiy epistlI from "'Synonomious,"' set ting~ forthl in suich glowing pr and verse, the a mmaz,ing appeaUranicC of so many saintlyv beings oni our camipus dulrinig the '"Con ventioni" recently held at a well-kiiown feimale college in the city. Now, Mr. Edlit,or, I would like to add just a few remarks to what has already beenu saidl on the subject. To begin withm, T, myself, at tendled quite a few of the meet ings of the Convention, and, take it from mie, I received sev eral severe shocks when T glimpsed sonie of thme individu als who were flannting a "nei. egate's badge. My friend of last week said that many of our son1s went to hear "the nee(ds of the Kaflirs and hold -1er hand at the reception fol lowingw;" in mly Opinion there vere some who -were too busy with 1Ier to be interested in the affairs at all; and as for a reception, for some it lasted from F'riday afternoon till Sunday night. Now, if I maY be permitted to (10 so, in closing, I would like to make one criticism of tile article written by "Synon om1ouls;" in his survey of the subject lIe oNerlooke< the fact that there were a few who at te(led the convention, not so 111111 for the social side of the affair, but for the benefit to be derived from the Imleeting(S. These few could (listilguish be tweell the sesoions of the con ventioln anld the receptions; an( I (1o not believe they shoul be classed with the "sludden saints." "Observer." P. S.-It has been said that the reason the writer of last week came out with such a stirring arcle, was because I (1ropped ito the Wigwam one (iay dur11ilg the convention to shoot a game of pool, and could fin(] nobody to shoot with, as all the "ol regulars" had gone to SeeSve. ThIis peeve(l him so he welt hoimle ald pro(luce(d the aforesaid article. ISN'T I Too TRU.:? ('etting out this paper is no picnic. If we print, jokes, folks say we are silly. If we don't they say we are too serious. If we publish original mat te' they say we lack variety. If we publish things from other papers we are too lazy to write. If we stay on the job, we oulght to be out hustling for news. If we rustle for news, we are not atie(dling to business in ourit own department. If we wear old clothes we are slovenly. If weC wear' new ones they are not p)aid1 for. If we don't print the contri butions from the boxes, we dono't show proper appreciation. If we (10 p)rinlt them the paper is full of junk. W~haltinall is a fellow to do, anyhow? Like as not some fellowv will say we swiped this from ani exchange. So we did. Irate Ancestor: "Young man, what were you doing with 11y3 daughter?"

Bacchus god divine, thy praise I sing, Vrenlus and Eros please, but thou art king. Wrapped in your burning fire My soul, myself entire Irappy upon thy altar stone I fling. Sire of mirth and laughter, god most fair, Dispenser of those feelings rich and rare Under whose magic spell Our senses rise and swell, Content at happiness, heedless of care. Oh Bacehus, 'tis alone thru thee we feel The countless joys that makes our senses reel, And tho we are but clods Lifts us above the gods. Ah! PROIIBITION is a bit ter deal. --W. S.

Why a small matter of 2000 years ago little old Babylon was the jazziest burg in the country. While today-well read this for yourself: Babylon, N. Y., Feb. 22.- f Twenty-five young uniarried men of this Long Island town have set out to cure the "flap pers." After a solemn sympo- ' sium, the following resolution 0 was adopted: P "We, the unmarried men of <I Rabylon, L. I., in indlignlation ~" rio hereby solemnly declare a that: l "Whereas, thiere has arisen a fad amuong young women of alI wearing their goloshes unibut. th toned and1 of rolling their gW 4tockings dowvnwardl to a point fii f inipropriety, both of which m in our opinion are slovenly and W tnnecessary ;W "Resolved : We (10 agree not t4 Lo be seen in public with any "3 young woman who practices W these useless and nonsensical P( Eads." C By way of explanation this hI formal statement was issued: T "The young men of Babylon ire not prud]es, but they have t, better notion of propriety hamn did the young men of an ~innt Babyon."
