You wished-I remember it well,

And I loved you the more for that wishFor a perfect Cystistidian shell

And a whole holocephalic fish.

And O, if earth's strata contains
In its lowest Silurian drift,

Or Paleozoic remains

The same, 'tis your lover's free gift!

Then come, love, and never say nay,
But calm all your maidenly fears,
We'll note, love, in one summer's day,
The record of millions of years;
And though the Darwinian plan
Your sensitive feelings may shock,
We'll find the beginning of man,—
Our fossil ancestors in rock.

MY REPLY TO DEAR BRET'S MADRIGAL.

TX trust thou It not think me too bold, HY epistle, dear friend, I've received,

If I frankly acknowledge I'm grieved

At the thought that to thee I've been cold.

How sweetly thou managest wooing!

What a way to my heart thou hast found!! Abandoning billing and cooing,

Thou tell'st me where fossils abound.

For ever henceforward I'm thine,
To view Ornithichnites I'm sighing;
(Don't delay, for a ramble I pine),
To find them in situ am dying.

Tridactylous, struthious, and huge;
With phalanges nicely indented,
Entombed when Dame Nature with rouge
The marl and the sandstone beds painted.

If thou wilt but extract me a femur,

With matrix just near the trochanter,

I'll abandon all maidenly tremor,

And at once name the day thou enchanter.

I'll only make one stipulation:

That, avoiding hotel, inn, and tavern, We improve the time-honoured lunation, And our honeymoon spend in a cavern.

There I'll labour, content in the fetter,
To find, happy thought! if I can,
A dear second husband and better,
A petrified pithecoid man.

OPENING OF THE CHAPEL, AND PRIZE DAY.

TUESDAY, August 3rd, the Annual Distribution of Prizes took place at the College, and the results of the recent examinations were announced. There was however, an additional feature in the programme of this year's proceedings, namely the opening of the College Chapel. It was found, some six months ago, that owing to the steadily increasing number of the pupils, and the limited accommodation which Wolborough and St. Paul's Churches were able to afford, it was very desirable that the College should have a Chapel of its own. A subscription list was accordingly opened, and an iron Chapel which had been in use at Elstree School, near Harrow, was purchased. An excellent harmonium has been presented by the Earl of Devon, and a very handsome Altar Cloth by Miss Moir.

The proceedings commenced with a celebration" of the Holy Communion at 8.30 a.m. The Epistle was read by the Rev. J. Newman, and the Gospel by the Rev. G. T. Warner, who were also the celebrants.

A large and fashionable assemblage met shortly before noon, and proceeded at once to the chapel for Matins. The prayers were intoned by the Rev. J. Newman and the Rev. Gifford Wood, the first lesson being read by the Rev. Prebendary Wolfe, and the
