Fröhlich stand die Schar im Kreise Um den schönen Weinachtsbaum Draussen aber stürmt es wilde, Einsam auf dem weiten Wege Schritt ein Wandrer müd und matt, Irrend sucht er nach dem Wege, Doch den Weg den fand er nicht. Ach nun kann er nicht mehr weiter, ,,Ach du Herre Gott und Vater, Ich wollt zu dem Christfest wallen Sanft schläft ein der müde Wandrer, Seine Seel dem Herrn befiehlt. Den Weg zur Kirch er nicht funden, Doch den Weg des Heils er fand. E. WALTHER, '05. In Black and Red. Exericise for the body, learning for the intellect, religion for the soul.-Exchange.

A Model Love Letter Read it first just as it comes; then read every other line; and what a difference! Miss Johnson: The great love I have hitherto expressed for you is false, and I find that my indifference toward you increases daily. The more I see of you the more you appear in my eyes an object of contempt. I feel myself every way disposed and determined to hate you. Believe me, I never had any intention to offer you my hand. Our last conversation has left a tedious insipidity, which has by no means given me the most exalted idea of your character. Your temper would make me extremely unhappy; and if we were united I should experience nothing but the hatred of my parents, added to everlasting displeasure in living with you. I have indeed a heart to bestow, but I do not desire you to imagine it at your service. I could not give it to any one more inconsistent and capricious than yourself and less capable to do honor to my choice and my family. Yes, miss, I hope you will be persuaded that I speak sincerely, and you will do me a favor to avoid me. I shall excuse your taking the trouble to answer this. Your letters are always full of impertinence, and you have not a shadow of wit and good sense. Adieu, adieu! Believe me so averse to you that it is impossible for me even to be your most affectionate friend and humble servant. -Wabash. BEFORE EXAMS.
