...Though never very studious after this, Motley was a brilliant linguist. He devoted most of his time to literature. Shelley and Praed were his favorite poets. He amused himself by writing sketches, poems, fragments of plays, etc., some of which were printed in the papers of the day, and two poems appeared in the college paper, - the Collegian...
...Harvard Scarf is another example of the carelessness with which the term is employed. Every one knows that men at Harvard who have any regard for "form" never wear made-up scarfs; it is much more "English" to tie them yourself; so the fitness of the appellation is lost. To enumerate all the articles of merchandise which are shipped to "all parts of the Union" bearing the name of Harvard would tax the reader's patience. The Harvard Book-rack, the Harvard Ulster, and the Harvard Memorial Hall Cigarette will suggest other articles of use and consumption...
...just the reverse. We asked her in a gentlemanly way to give us a little time to complete our negotiations with England; she seizes on this as a pretext for withdrawing her challenge.

Persons desiring information about this belt may address Mr. C. P. Huckins, Y. M. C. A., Boston...
...Never read anything so desolate, and yet so decently resigned. Receipt:- first find a good double rhyme, - like "savour," "flavour," or "candle," "handle." The first line does not rhyme, and the second can easily be worked in afterwards. Then take a comparison to one of the months, as he has to June, such as "March without mud" or "February without Semis," - or anything that is strange and unnatural...
