This item is printed on demand. 52 pages. Dimensions: 9.0in. x 6.0in. x 0.2in.Excerpt from Spahn, Brougham, Burdge: Oration, Poem, and HistoryBrethren of the Theta Delta Chi: When a man becomes sick at heart, he thinks the dead are happy. The maudlin poet constructs his refrain upon that sentiment. But it is all an error. Tis true that disappointments dishearten true that misfortunes depress - true that each dispelled illusion makes us sadder - more true than all that the dead suffer nothing down in the solemn stillness of their abode. To them comes no noise of strife. Their fleshless ribs encase no heart to feel the pain of slights. They have no bodies to suffer with any of the manifold distresses of wretchedness. Malice cannot harm them, nor envy sting them. They are inaccessible as the Gods on Mount Olympus to every human Ill. But our lot is a better one; for the poorest, the most unfortunate among us lives, has a share of sunshine and a claim upon the seasons. Every Spring brings with it the tender grass that grows into richest green with the Summer, fading slowly away under the bronze and gold of Autumn, till the spotless shroud of Winter kindly covers its remains. And all the while the broad sky arches overhead, and so long as foliage is on trees it is stirred into music by the winds of heaven; and birds twitter, and brooks ripple, and the landscape looks glorious when the bright sun lights it up, stretching off into the haziness of blue distance till it fades away into ether. This all is ours. Let us enjoy it while we may; and if there be one among us whose lot has been so wretched, that nothing seems left to him but misery and mourning, who finds no joy in Nature to dispel his unhappy mood, he may still steal away from it for odd hours by recalling some happy past.

Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Excerpt from Spahn, Brougham, Burdge: Oration, Poem, and History Too bad - too bad the whole of it; and past as that earlier time is our College life. DO you still remember when papa said, Now, my son, you must go to College? There was no end of preparation, no end of leave-taking and at the last moment, delayed as long as possible, fond mamma, whose tender heart was breaking, invoked God s blessing as she kissed her boy again, weeping so hard the while that one would think the part ing were forever. Her sobs and tears even infected you, stout as you had resolved to carry yourself on the occasion. Then the ride over miles and miles of green country, when you passed through hamlets, towns and cities, with a prospect ever varying before your young eyes. But the prospect did not interest you, did not even distract your mind; for your thoughts would still wander back to the old folks, the Old times, the boys and the scenes that you Were leaving behind. Somehow each league you put between yourself and them gradually took the form of a separate eternity, out of which but one word kept continually sobbing itself into your ear - Gone! Gone gone! And the soul of meaning in this word permeated you. Sad, most wearisome ly sad and heavy grew your heart. The ceaseless rumble of the car wheels tired you; the monotonous faces of the passengers tired you. Oh, that the tiresome ride were over I - and you were at your journey s end.
