v°l-  I  Muryville  C  liege,    April,   1876.  No.  7. 


By  A.  M.  Hook. 


As  heaven's  bright  orb  with  dazzling  brilliance  gleams 

To  gild  the  world,  enchanted  with  its  dreams, 
And  fair  Aurora,  with  her  heavenly  light, 
^  Kesumes  her  place  and  dissipates  the  night, 
The  waking  earth,  now  fondled  with  such  love, 

Responding  to  that  central  orb  above, 
Displays  her  heauties  o'er  her  varied  clime. 

And  nature's  all  reechoes  love  sublime. 
A  ponderous  mount,  with  cloud-capped  tower,  rears 

Aloft  its  thunder-splintered  pinnaelec — 
Successi\e  mount  the  pillars,  lofty,  riv'n, 

And  s<  ek  the  sky,  like  stepping-stones  to  heav'n — 
Like  columns  tall,  of  marble  wrought,  uphold 

The  spiry  roof  and  ceilings,  coved  with  gold. 
Within's  a  palace  that  o'erlooks  the  wave, 

More  beautiful  than  king's,  yet  called  a  cav  — 
Rock-paved  beneath,  ana  granite-arched  o'erh  \  d — 

Which  seems  to  have  been  the  chambers  of  the  dead. 
But  lo!  a  sound,  that  in  the  distance  broke, 

As  if  the  King  of  earth  in  anger  spoke— 
Up,  up  the  rushing,  red  volcano  went, 

And  torrents  of  earth's  lightening  skyward  >en% 
Which  o'er  heaven  and  earth  and  ocean  flas'icc', 

While    scattering   wide    the    downward   frigments   dash  d, 
And  echoed  far  o'er  mountain,  plain  and  glen, 
And  seemed  as  'twere  a  gloomy  hell  within. 
Beneath  its  brow  a  trickling,  murm'ring  rill, 
^  Undaunted,  seeks  the  valley,  green  and  still; 
Gliding  from  view  love-listening  groves  between, 

And  most  melodious  when  it  flows  unse.  n, 
What  though  at  times  the  sun  in  wrath  retire, 

As  intervenes  a  gloomy  veil  of  fire! 
Soon  bond  the  clouds  in  brighter  beauties,  fair, 
And  see  where'er  it  flows  their  image  there. 


With  winding  course  and  ever  ceaseless  How, 

The  riplet  joins  trie  troubled  stream  below, 
Where  massively  the  angry  waves  roll  on, 

liegardless  of  all  ruin  farther  down. 
O'er  which  commingled  masses  blindly  fall, 

And,  seif-inteired,  they  howl  their  funeral. 
In  yonder  distance,  'neath  the  mountain  height, 

A  death-like  ftream,  unparallclled  the  sight! 
With  cola  an  i  stoic  glare,  congealed  to  ice, 
Moves  s'u  ggish  on — a  boundless  sea  of  gliss. 

As  still  supplies  th'  unfailing  source  above. 
To  fairer  climes  the  apparition  moves: 

Where,  by  its  weight,  the  massive  heap  divides, 
And  under  tropic  suns  it  gently  glides, 

And  proudly  sails — a  starry  bannered  fleet, 
To  wield  dominion  o'er  the  ocean's  deep. 

Like  ancient  temples,  with  their  glittering  spires 
Sparkling  in  each  sunbeam,  as  blazing  fires, 

The  iceberg  floats,  unconscious  that  ere  long, 
Like  countless  myriads  of  earth's  busy  throng, 

Her  missive  walls  and  proudly  gilded  dome 
Must  on  old  ocean's  bosom  find  a  tomb. 

Ecstatic  scene !  which  fills  the  soul  with  love  ; 
Beneath  the  ocean  rolls — the  sky  above — 

In  graceful  undulations  fade  away, 
As  fades  the  glimmering  light  at  closing  day, 

And  with  a  loving,  blushing,  smi  ing  face, 
They  each  advance  and  clasp  a  fond  embrace. 

The  sun  retiring  to  his  mighty  sleep, 
Bathes  his  kingly  brow  amid  the  briny  deep. 

While  twilight  weeps  o'er  all  beneath  its  gaze, 
And  wraps  the  world  amid  its  lurid  haze. 

Then  blooming  clouds — companions  of  the  sun — 
Extending  far  and  tinged  with  sombre  gloom, 

In  grandest  and  portentous  spectres  ri»e, 
O'erspread  the  earth  and  veil  the  azure   skies  ; 

While  wide  o'er  earth  they  breathe  their  fatal  breath, 
Which — vile  tornado!  works  the  work  of  death. 

And  lo!  fir  distant  o'er  the  ocean's  flood, 
Wave  shouldering  wave  in  frightful,  angry  mood, 

The  winds  urge  on  the  billowy,  living  roll, 
And  whirlwinds  dwell  within  it  like  a  soul, 
Heaving  the  foamy,  roaring  surges  high, 


While  all  beside  was  voi<  eless,  brent  Wet.-:,  fear. 
'  Maze  within  maze  the  lurid  webs  are  rolled, 
And  as  they  burst,  the  living  flame-  unfold; 

And,  as  black  midnight  melts  from  sky  to  sky. 
Air  becomes  fire,  and.  like  a  sea  on  high, 

Wide  whirlwind  rolls  his  deluge,  seared  and  riv'n, 
And  shriek  the  lightnings  at  the  wrath  of  heaven. 

As  the  fire-bolts  leap  to  the  world  below, 
And  flood  the  sky  with  a  lurid  glow. 

Capricious  showers  of  crashing  hailstones  break 
In  heavy  torrents  from  the  airy  lake; 

The  falling  crystals  in  their  blinded  maze, 
Transmitting  colors  of  the  riven  says. 

Perfect  an  arch  across  the  gilded  dome 
"From  central  earth  to  heaven's  meridian  throne." 

Such  is  the  rainbow  with  its  thousand  dyes. 
Emblazoned  like  a  triumph  on  the  skies 

Majestic  token  of  its  maker's  might, 
Pure  zone  of  grace,  grand  corronal  of  light: 

God's  own  blest  hand-mark  mystic,  full,  sublime, 
Graven  in  glory  to  the  end  of  time. 

Now  all  is  still — the  troubled  storm  is  stayed— 
The  mighty  Queen,  in  royalty  arrajed, 

Leaps  from  her  lurking-place  and  gently  smile* 
O'er  half  the  earth  and  o'er  her  thousand  isles. 

Proudly  her  chariot  rolls  to  bear  her  sway, 
And  all  her  myriad  subjects  ope  the  way — 

Submissive  bow — confess  her  rightful  crown. 
And  pay  due  homage  at  her  shining  throne. 

Alas!  her  realm,  a  vast  arena  turns,  • 

And  through  her  starry  host  rude  anger  burns. 

And  wild  confusion  smites  the  shining  race. 
And  tears  the  planets  from  their  royal  place, 

Cruelly  hurling  burning  meteors  down, 
While  smiling  heaven  assumes  a  tien  crown. 
"•Though  storms  may  rage,  and  forked  lightnings  play 
Fiom  earth  to  heaven,  however  frightfully. 

Though  showers  of  fire  may  gild  the  realms  above, 
And  through  ethereal  space  grand  spectres  move; 

Though  wrapt  in  flame  the  realms  of  ether  glow, 
And  thunder  peals  convulse  the  world  below. 
Yet  high  above,  in  heaven'?  ethereal  dome, 

Those  'mining  worlds  shall  in  their  orbits  roam 


4. 


And  orb  on  orb,  unnumbered  in  their  spheres, 
Shall  still  revolve  to  note  the  passing  years, 

In  matchless  splendor,  beautiful,  sublime, 

Till  Gabriel's  trump  proclaim  the  end  of  time; 

When  all  shall  rush  around  God's  shining  throne, 
And  tilled  with  ecstacv  exclaim,  well  don?! 


Elements  of  Success. 


By  g.  e.  s. 


The  little  streams  that  flow  from 
the  mountain  sides  glide  gently  on 
until  they  reach  their  destiny,  ap- 
parently without  an  effort.  The 
broad  fields  of  golden  grain  stand 
waving  in  the  gentle  breezes  of 
the  summer,  because  the  hand  of 
rhe  laborer  moves  not.  Nature 
arrays  herself  in  her  most  beauti- 
ful robes  without  the  smallest  per- 
ception of  exertion,  yet  she  con- 
tains mysteries  which  the  wicdom 
of  men ,  who  have  sought  out  ma- 
ny inventions,  has  not  been  able  to 
&oive.  Destruction  is  the  work  of 
indolence,  and  desolation  appears 
in  the  absence  of  energy.  The 
ruins  of  cities  and  the  waste  places 
of  tne  earth  cry  out  in  a  voice  of 
madness;  "Oh  diligence!  why 
sleepest  thou?  Knowest  thou  not 
that  the  days  of  thy  life  are  in- 
creasing and  that  the  labor  of  thy 
hands  beareth  heavily  upon  thee?" 
Gazing  over  the  broad  bosom  of 
nature,  exhibitions  of  power  pre- 
sent themselves  with  such  grand- 
eur as  to  make  the  human  mind 
almost  tremble  with  awe,  yet  they 
were  made   with    a    single    word. 


But  the  achievements  of  man- 
kind, even  when  they  reach  the 
highest  standaid  of  perfection,  are 
only  a  mere  shadow  in  compari- 
son with  the  slightest  mark  which 
the  Monarch  of  Ages  has  placed 
upon  the  outlines  of  the  world,  yet 
require  the  active  co-operation  of 
the  most  far-seeing  intellects,  to- 
gether with  the  assistance  of  <he 
amount  of  physical  strength  nec- 
essary for  procuring  their  accom- 
plishment. And,  c:ns:q<:erjdy, 
persons  who  spend  their  lime  in 
dreaming  of  the  seasons  of  pros- 
perity, when  the  earnest  desires  of 
their  hearts  shall  take  definite 
shape,  and  trust  to  the  fates  to 
weave  the  chain  of  their  lives,  and 
at  the  end  of  their  existence  to 
place  upon  their  heads  the  golden 
crown,  need  to  understand  imme- 
diately that  the  world  is  not  con- 
cerned about  their  success,  and 
that  the  scepter  of  fame  does  not 
permit  itself  to  be  attached  as  an 
ensign  of  royalty  to  the  bosom  of 
the  unworthy.  Such  persons  have, 
perhaps,  if  the  narrow  limits  of 
their  contracted  intellects  permit, 
very  elevated  aspirations  as  re- 
gards the  degree  of  success  desir- 
able, and  even  look  with  longing 
expectation  that  the  store-houses 


o 


of  learning  will  throw  wide  their 
doors  and  pour  ont  their  rich 
treasures  in  the  greatest  allusion 
at  their  feet,  yet  when  wisdom  who 
has  been  so  long  neglected  that 
she  scarcely  dares  to  venture  from 
her  retreat,  whispers  in  her  com- 
mon sense  manner,  put  forth 
hand  and  wield  the  helm,  they 
shrink  back  with  dismay  and  as- 
tonishment and  still  wonder  why 
their  barns  are  not  filled  with  the 
golden  harvest  of  intellectual  ex- 
pansion and  their  garners  with 
the  pleasant  fruits  of  bright  a- 
enlevements. 

But    the   surpassing   power   of 
genius  aided  by    the  excellent  in- 
centive,   diligence,   continue     its 
course  regardless  of  their  earnest 
desires  to  become   illustrious;  and 
the  great  iron    wheel  of  thought, 
upon  which   depends  the  destiny 
of  the   world,    rolls    steadily    on, 
over  the  broad   expansion  of  hu- 
man intelligence,    crushing  in   its 
way    the   craggy    peaks   of  igno- 
rance and  superstition  and  leaving 
the  firm  and   beaten   track   upon 
which  imagination  can   build   her 
most  stately  structures,    and    na- 
ture who  will  ever  be   considered 
the  concentration    of  beauty    and 
the  refuge  of  the  unknown,  will  in 
a  measure  unfold  the  windings    of 
her    labyrinths    and    present   the 
lovely  bowers  beneath   whose   re- 
freshing  shade    the    weary    care- 
worn pilgrims  may  rejoice  and  en- 
joy the  recompense  of  their  labor. 
Centuries  roll  by  bringing  with 
them  new  scenes  and  a  new   peo- 
ple whose  business  it  is   to  shake 
the  dusty  folds   of  oblivious   garb 
and   encircle    her    in    the    bright 


robes  of  progression,  to  raise  the 
procumbent  standard  of  literature 
which  has  been  lost  amid  the 
overwhelming  debris  of  centuries 
and  fasten  it  firmly  upon  the  mon- 
ument of  system.  But  the  world 
has  perhaps  also  been  awake  be 
fore  them,  and  (hey  have  for  their 
consideration  the  earnest  labors 
and  investigations  of  the  preced- 
ing generations  of  wnieh  they  can 
avail  themselves  if  chey  cheese, 
But  these  alone  certainly  will  not 
insure  success,  nor  can  they  them- 
selves be  obtained  without  an  ef- 
fort, And  while  wc  admit  <hnt 
this  is  one  of  the  strongest  links  in 
the  great  chain  that  binds  together 
the  two  important  centers/ — nature 
and  science,  around  which  revolve 
the  efforts  of  human  action,  and 
fr<  :-.\  which  radiate  the  principles 
of  those  actions,  yet  dependence 
alone,  we  repeat,  upon  the  efforts 
of  others,  for  insight  with  regard 
to  these  questions  which  are  of 
such  moment  and  which  should 
kindle  the  fire  of  investigation  in 
the  heart  of  every  enterprising 
man,  are  as  a  broken  reed. 

Man's  success  depends  to  a 
great  extent  on  his  own  intrinsic 
worth.  He  may  indeed  attain  a 
somewhat  notable  reputation  by 
assuming  the  garb  of  those  who 
have  gone  before  us  without  the 
assistance  of  our  own  innate  powers. 
but  this  itself  bears  upon  its  face 
the  mark  of  plagiarism. 

The  prospect  before  us  is  very 
broad,  and  we  must  show  to  the 
world,  that  although  we  are  per- 
fectly willing  to  avail  ourselves  of 
the   thought    and    experience   of

We  publish  m  this  number  the 
oration  which  G.  ('.  Stewart  de- 
livered at  the  Animi  Cuitus  So- 
ciety's last  exercise. 


The  next  issue,  a  double  num- 
ber, containing  full  accounts  of 
the  commencement  exercises,  will 
appear  a  week  after  college  loses 
and  will  be  forwarded  immediately 
to  the  subscribers. 


M  e  have  b°en  so  fortnnpte  rs 
to  obtain  from  Rev.  A.  M.  Hook 
the  poem  he  delivered  as  his 
graduating  exercise.  At  the  time 
it  attracted  much  attention  and 
elicited  just  praise,  and  we  think 
that  transferred  to  paper  it  will 
lose  none  of  its  richness. 


The  society  is  one  of  the  mo^t 
important  thing*!  connected  with 
a  college,  and  perhaps  one  of  the 
most  neglected.  Those  who  take 
little  interest  in  the  society  to  which 
they  belong,  are  irregular,  and  fail 
to  perform  the  duties  required  of 
them,  "can't  see  the  good  in  fhem  ' 
any  more  than  the  unlettered  rav- 
age can  see  how  a  piece  of  paper 
can  convey  a  message  to  a  distant 
person;  but  <hose  who  have  best 
performed  their  duties,  appreciate 
more  and  more  the  advantages  to 
be  obtained  from  a  society.  It  is 
here  that  the  student  learns  to  ap- 
ply the  knowledge  which  he  has 
obtained  from  his  textbooks,  flere 
the  good  and  bad  traits  of  a  person's 
character,  show  themselves,  and 
here  is  OLie  of  the  best  places  to 
coire^t  t  :cm.  The  society  is  a  min- 
ature  world,  and  although  its  ob- 
ject is  to  improve  the  mind,  per- 
haps more  gooA  is  acquired  from 
the  moral  training-.  The  various 
questions  arising  outside  of  debate, 
the  elections  of  members  to  places  of 
honor  and  trust,  oft  requite  much 
more  courage  to  be  met  in  the  right 
manner,  and  if  these  things  are 
met  and  decided  by  each  one  as  he 
thinks  right,  he  is  strengthened, 
but  if  he  avoids  questions  which 
involve  difficulty,  he  injures  him- 
self and  society.  To  join  a  good 
society  is  one  of  the  first  things  a 
student  should  do  on  entering  col- 
lege, and  if  he  attends  to  his  du- 
ties in  the  right  manner  he  receives 
incalculable  benefit,  but  if  he  is  an 
inactive,  worthless  member,  he 
owes  it  to  himself  and  the  society 
to  do  better  or  to  leave. 


There  was  quite  an  episode  in 
the-generally  even  flow  of  Dart- 
mouth College  affairs  a  few  weeks 
sin  e.  The  faculty  forbad  the 
publication  in  the  Dartmouth,  the 
college  journal,  of  an  article  to 
which  they  took  exception;  but 
despite  this  command  the  article 
wns  inserted  by  the  editors,  and — 
horrible  to  relate —  all  seven  or" 
thtm  were  summarily  expelled. 
It  was  but  a  short  time,  however, 
until  they  sen'  in  a  written  apolo- 
gy, humbly  begging  pardon,  and 
now  they  have  been  reinstated  by 
the  faculty.  Take  warning  edi- 
tors !

be  the  motto  written  upon  the 
programme  oi  every  youth  in  the 
land.  '"  "They  can  because  they 
think  they  can  "  was  the  famous 
declaration  of  Virgil  concerning 
the  oarsmen  in  the  trial  of  their

competitors.  The  hindiances  that 
present  themselves  may  seem  al- 
most insurmountable,  and  the 
most  resolute  mind  may  tremble  at 
the  undertaking,  yet  he  who  wears 
the  badge  of  determination  may 
sound  the  depths  of  the  literary 
ocean,  and  take  his  bearings  in  the 
unknown  seas.  One  person,  if  he

that  lead  to  the  goal  of  mysteries, 
and  drink  freely  from  the  fountain 
that  pours  its  crystal  draughts  over

able  defenders  have  long  since 
taken  up  their  aboue  amid  the 
ccenes  of  futurity,  to  their  very

W.   B.   Brown   has   arrived  from 
Danville,  in  excellent  health. 

Base  Ball 


The  "Reckless''  base  ball  club 
has  had  two  matches  during  this 
month  with  a  .picked  club  at 
Crooked  Creek.  The  first  occurred 
on  the  15th,  and  resulted  in  favor 
of  the  Reckless,  who  made  39 
runs,  the  ('rooked  Creek  club 
making  8s. 

The  next  game  was  played  on 
the  27th.  and  our  boys  again  came 
off  victorious,  feeling  very  well 
satisfied  with  48  to  28. 

Reviews  and  the  near  approach 
of  examinations  have  interfered 
somewhat  with  this  game  of  late, 
and  our  grounds  are  now7  deserted. 


April  1. 

April  first,  the  day  of  practical 
jokes,  sells,  and  red,  excited  faces, 
passed  without  losing  any  of  its 
fooling  reputation.  The  whole 
day  was  rendered  quite  lively  by 
the  tricks  perpetrated  on  the  un- 
suspecting by  the  mischief  loving. 
At  night  the  ladies  of  Baldwin 
received  a  summons  to  Mrs.  Hen- 
ry's kitchen  to  meet  eight  or  ten 
of  the  Memorialers  who  had  come 
prepared  for  a  candy-pulling. 
All  went  merry  for  a  while  until 
it  was  discovered  that  the  ponder- 
ous paper  of  sugar  was  ashes,  and 
the  jug  purporting  to  be  filled  with 
molasses  was  in  reality  filled  wi<h 
water.  But  packages  of  genuine 
sugar  were  produced,  and,  altho' 
favored  with  a  visit  by  a  ghost,  the 


evening  was  spent  enjoyably. 


"All  work  and  no  play  makes 
Jack  a  dull  boy."  So  thought 
some  of  our  students  on  the 
Saturday  before  Easter,  and  being 
ever  ready  to  make  use  of  an  op- 
portunity  for  having  a  pleasant 
time  with  the  young  ladies,  they 
got  up  an  twegg-eating,"  and  spent 
a  pleasant  evening  in  endeavoring 
to  keep  several  dozens  of  eggs  from 
spoiling.     They  didn't  spoil. 


Animi  Cultus. 


Friday  evening,  the  27th,  the 
last  public  exercise  for  the  year 
was  given  by  the  Animi  CuUus 
Society  in  the  college  chapel. 
The  programme  as  read  h\  the 
President,  G.  S.  McCampbell,  was 
as  follows: 

DEBATE; 

Question;  Resolved  that  the  Bi- 
ble is  necessary  to  prove  the  ex- 
istence of  a  personal  God. 

Affirmative ;  Negative ;

OBATION.

There  was  a  full  audience  who 
seemed  pleased.  The  paper  es- 
pecially, was  well  received,  as  it 
deserved  to  be.

\  Nothing  wiil  ippear  in  its  pa;es  that  can 
offend  the  religions  or  political  belief  of  any 
one. 

Tens  of  thousands  of  dollars  wer*  paid  last 
year  to  onr  exclusive  corps  of  writeis.  In  the 
ooming  year,  which  already  shows  a  ve^j  large 
increase  in  our  subscriptions,  we  shall  nut 
only    retain  all  our   old  and  popular   writers. 


hut  we  shall  add  to  our  >•■>  elusive  sl-tff  such

It  is  seldom  tha*  we  ask  a  favor  of  our 
fri  rids,  but  it  would  be  n  great  advantage  io 
us  if  enc.i  tin  ■  of  our  readers  would  draw  the 
at  ention  of  some  person  «l  trie  >d  to  the  met  its 
of 'SATURDAY  MGuT,"  and  thus  aid  us  in 
increasing,  even  mure  rapid  y  tl.aa  »t  present,

lo  n  of  a  single  paper,  or  a  word  of  co.nmeii- 
dation  will  su  ceed  in  putiii  g  a  journal  win  re 
ever  n.terward  it  becomes  a  welcome  visitor. 

We  receive  many  let ter s  of  commendation — 
thousands  of  them — and  for  these  we  here  re- 
turn our  sincere  thanks,  and  request  that  those 
who  so  admire  ''SATURDAY  NIGHT"  wi  1  do 
us  the  kindness  to  dir<  otly  show  and  rod  ru- 
mend  it  to  their  acquaintances.
