The roses bloom all the time in open air, and there is out-door singing in the January evenings, as with us in June.

And if, perhaps, we miss a little of the bloom, it is easy to console ourselves by the thought that there is more strength in place of it. The Spectator, too, is well represented by some of the men whose work in the book of "College Cuts" is so singularly meritorious. Their connection with the paper will serve to counteract...
