...early age, and go about shedding blotted scraps of paper from their pockets with an infantile-Byronic air, to the delight of their mothers and to the horror of all reasonable people; others stave off the evil hour until they fall in love, when, inspired, I suppose, by the object of their sonnets, they often astonish every one but themselves by the excellence of their verses, just as madmen have been known to develop powers of which their hours of sanity showed no trace; others, again, are attacked by the passion for versification at an advanced, perhaps a senile...
...rocks" cannot be introduced in two of these divisions is self-evident. For instruction in Physical Geography a fine globe, maps, and other necessary means for instruction in the department are employed, not perhaps sufficient for an extended course, but for all that the elective professes to embrace. Object-teaching has, as yet, hardly been introduced into the study of Meteorology, and where such teaching has been introduced it tends rather to Physics and kindred branches.

...which formerly did service perhaps as a sign. A map of the world, completely covered with names on its back, tells us this transmittendum has seen service. For variety, a snake-skin from a corner room in Hollis will answer the purpose; though why this should be a pleasing object of contemplation is a mystery. Add now a pair of clasped hands with names neatly carved on them; this is the subject of an annual presentation to the happy occupant of a corner room in the ground-floor of Hollis. The last item is a skull, with a few names...
