One morning when the woods hung out
Thoir tassels sold and brown,
I stood before trio looking-glass
To smooth my lljrht hair down.
A vision o'or tho mirror swept
With trembling spirit shorn
Th dawning love or twenty roars
Revealed to seventeen.
A in a dream I saw your face
AYith ruddy hue and brown.
The while a misty hand had writ
Your name in silence down;
The world in bloom ax one bright May
Outspread its carpet grcon
What row clouds at twonty smiled.
How light at seventeen.
Tboy called to me, I heeded not,
Or only In a. dream.
And followed where the others ljd
Down by the mill and stream.
A few brief moments, too, wo sang
Beneath the wooded screen,
For you were only twonty then,
And I but seventeen.
October wove her rod ar.d gold,
We wandered drvaming still
Tho voices in the fields were hushed,
Deserted was the mill.
A white spray in my hair you twined
And praised its golden shoen;
No grief had como to twenty then,
Nor yet to soventoen.
The ashes of tho years have dropped
Their shining sdverdown
Be ore the jetty boyish hair
And on the golden-brown '
But in that Beulahland so near,
Where angels stand botvreou,
I know tho love bf twenty years
Will coma to seventeen. '

opment it stands almost at the head of
athletic sport, and in my physical exami
nations 1 find that foot-ball men show a
greater and more even improvement than
any other class of athletes. The running
part of game develops the muscles of the
legs; the arms are brought well Into play;
the endless dodging keeps the neck mus
cles constantly in action; and, in fact, the
whole body is exercised to a remarkable
extent.
"I may hero refer to the attitude of the
college faculty toward the students last
year. You remember what a feeling was
manifested over certain decrees of that
body during the football s-ason. The
truth is, the members of the faculty are
just as much interested in Harvard's sue
cess In athletics as the students aro them
selves. The fellows haven't seemed to
realize this, but, on the contrary, have Im
agined that wc were in some way antagon
izing their interests. Wo have been trying
to walk hand aud hand with them in
worKing out reforms that have becomo ab
solutely necessary. "

Could anything boa better Illustration
of the way women do their work as com
pared with tho way men do theirs, than to
look oyer a village of, say, a thousand faml
les, on a Monday morning. In a thousand
little kitchens a thousand women would
be seen thrusting wood into a thousand
little cook stoves, heating u thousand
little wosh-bollers, bending their backs
over a thousand little wash-boards, and
hanging their clothes on a thousand
clothes-lines. If, by some singular social
revolution, tlio men of such a village
were to undertake to do the same work,
their very first step would be to get up a
stock company, invest capilal in bulldiug
and machinery, so organize the work
that about half a dozen men would do
the work for the whole town niv,.
good salaries therefor, and the rest of the
men would go about their own business
on Monday, just as on other days.
A great mistake: To hold oneself too
high and rate oneself to cheap.
