Oh the light that lies in a maidens eyesAs she meets the fond glance of her lover, Is brighter by far than the gleam of the starThat shines in the darkness above her. And the fleeting flush of a maidens blush, The bloom of the rose defying,Oer her countenance flies as the maiden sighs, Like the dream of a zephyr dying. And the power to beguile in a maidens smile,And the sound of her voice so thrilling, Make a lover crave to become her slave,Her slightest behest fulfilling. But the tuneful clink of a maidens chink,And the gleam of her gold so yellow, More than Cupids dart will touch the heartOf the most unsusceptible fellow. —Yale Rah for old Bowdoin ! Scoreanother point for the white ! Hon. ThomasB. Reed, of 60, has triumphed in the speak-ership contest, and brought another honorto the little eastern college of a little EasternState. With Melville W. Fuller at the headof the Judiciary Department and Mr. Reedat the head of the Legislative Department,Bowdoin ought to be willing to let the restof the country have a show at the Execu-tive. We do not believe in monopolies in arepublican nation. The day of Longfellow,Hawthorne, Fessenden, and Pierce is givingway to the day of Fuller, Reed, Frye, andSmythe. Pretty vigorous dotage for an in-stitution which is going on its past record,especially when viewed in the light of thefact that the number of students has in-creased sixty per cent, within the past fiveyears. And yet, while, as an eminent for-eigner has said, men go about like roaringlions seeking what they may endow, Bow-doin remains in financial straits ! Where areour wealthy alumni ? Base-ball
