A change was made last week by whieb the time for the chapel exercises was changed from 8:00 to 7:50 a. m. As it was we generally breakfasted at noon, now we have to go to bed before supper in order to get up early enough. An arrangement lias been made - by which one of the members of the Prep.

' The rhetorical exercises en last Friday afternoon wore decidedly tho best of the term. The declamation of Miss Robison, the essay of Mr. Weaver, and the variety speech of Mr. Huffman, merited the admiration of tha audience The music was well rendered, but the feature of the afternoon was the debate. The question was : "Should the amount of land held by no person bo linjited ?" The first speech in the Aff. waa by Mr. Charles Bouhten, who delivered a splendidly written argument in an eloquent inanaer. He was followed by Mr 0. F.

It is not generally kcown that Bioom
ington has a real live poet. There is only
one of I is kind and we have him. He
writes poetry without any hesitancy what
ever, and upon any desired subject. A few df.) s ago bis best girl who is a great lover of the Terpsichorean art, asked our poet to grind out a few verses on the sub
ject ot dancing, and after much trouble
we obtained tne beauttlui missive ror oar
readers and below give it in all its grand
simplicity :
All the poopl say it is wrong
To danee.
But tbe Bible says it is not,
For the Bible says
"Danee and be merry for to-morrow Ye may die."
So say we all, but some people
Will claim that dancing is wrong,
But others say not. 8n say we all,
For God gives as the music to go by ; Then yon tejl me it is wrong To dance I
If it were wrong
God weqld shut off tbe musio.
