...best pieces in the current number of the Advocate are the stories, of which there are several well worth mentioning. "Ruth," by J. A. Graydon '01, is the third of a series of Irish folk tales, which the writer is contributing to the Advocate.

Gilbert '01, is an ingenuous and amusing little sketch of a somewhat conventional sort. The Hon. Jack Castleton, a shy, weak youth of the "gilded set" and the educated valet are familiar figures; but the writer puts them through their parts with skill...
