...Advocate is at hand. The opening poem, "The Desert Warrior," is a stirring war-song from the Arabic. It is smoothly and powerfully written, and there is a wild ring in the concise lines which adds double force to the warrior's savage and boastful song. "A Country Frolic" is a jolly life-like sketch, almost making one see the party at the "Forge." There would have been no diminution of the general effect of the sketch, if the conclusion had not contained the almost inevitable and common reference to a marriage.

While the standard of education at Heidelberg is not so high as at some German universities, yet it has always been a favorite...

And this year an Indian who also came from beyond the Mississippi goes forth from the college "not in the war paint of the savage warrior, but clad in the armor of the Prince of Peace, a herald of the gospel of love." The patriotic duty of the past century was to drive the Indians across the great rivers to the wild West; the philanthropic duty of today is to receive them into our colleges and schools...
