AMS COLLEGE _Williams Literary Monthly, The_. _Williams Weekly, The_. WISCONSIN, UNIVERSITY OF _Badger, The_. _Wisconsin Aegis_. YALE UNIVERSITY _Yale Courant, The_. _Yale Literary Magazine, The._ _Yale Record, The_. * * * * * ~Soap-Bubbles.~ As a little child at play Blows upon a pipe of clay Bubbles, evanescent, bright, With their iridescent light, So I fling upon the wind Verses of the bubble kind. And my friend with eyes of blue Looks my dainty verses through, Pauses from his books awhile, With an intellectual smile; For my fancy seems as naught To this man of deeper thought.

And I think he should make a reflection or two, When he rests over there from his play. Don't you? ROBERT L. MUNGER. _Yale Courant_. ~To Ruby Lips.~ Two ruby lips are hers; a pair Of eyes a cynic to ensnare, A tinted cheek, a perfect nose, A throat as white as winter's snows, And o'er her brow bright golden hair.
