T«d«T, dear Lord, I raisa mj thankful heart la gratitude to Thee For many mercies and for blessings manifold and free, ’ For the life-full air. For the world se fair, For warm blood throbbing, bounding from my heart. For bonyancy that youth and health impart, For all the joys of pleasant sense Thou gavest me! I thank Thee, Lord, for new conceptions, newer thoughts,that came to me, For revelations of Thy light and truth and what shall be, For the way alone In the duties shown, For trial’s tempest and temptation’s gast, That made ’me stronger in the strength of trust, And fed my feeble faith and filled my heart with thoughts of Thee! But most of all, dear Lord, I thank Thee for Thy still, small voice, That brought me peace) when I had made Thy way my choice, For the spark of love From the fires above That touched and set my soul aglow with zeal, And fired my life with love—the Spirit’s seal— With love for every man and Thee—in this I do rejoice! THE REVISED VERSION. Love lived with his sweetheart in a cottage. There was a knock at the door. It was opened and Want came in. Then Love jumped out of the window But it was only to secure his axe he had left in. a log. • Then he came back and with sturdy blows beat off the intruder. Love lives in a mansion now. And his sweetheart is a queen. THE DIFFERENCE. I saw Ambition standing starving in the street, While sleek patricians careless passed him by. Regardless of the proud-like, hectic flush and fever heat And death-bright glitter from his soul-lit eye. While fat Success assorted cooly on his desk The invitations multiplied to dine With nabobs, princes, magnates—all who gladly ask To pile their sacrifices on his shrine! UNCI.E TORE’S GRATITUDE. We’s thankful dat do small-pox neber toch us, We’s glad de yellow feber didn’t cotch tls, We’s praisin’ fer de fros’ Dat coma.widout no sos*, We’s thankful fer de winter fires it fotch us! We’s mighty thankful fer de crap o’ possum, An' de ebery-nightly hankerin’ to toss ’em, Fer lots an’ stacks o’ ’taters To tickle nigger naters, Fer life wid all its bloomin’ an’ its blossom! HER TALENT. Once the gods called the sons of men together for the purpose of distributing among them certain gi !ts and talents. And Woman came also among them. When the gods had given to men the most-coveted gifts (for the gods have masculine conceit) and it came Woman's turn, they asked what talent she de sired. And she said, “Give rae the talent of loving.” So they did. And ever since she has ruled the world, for love is “the greatest thing in the world.” t thanks! I’m thankful the mosquitoe’s quit stickin* in his bill, I’m glad the gnats an’ aan’-flies are ’way from home or ill, I’m glad the festive can’idate is absent with his smile, I’m glad the politician is quiet for awhile.

Thanksgiving came, and the girla - en joyed a holiday. - Roast turkey and cranberry sauce bring to ns visions of Christmas and this Thanksgiving day does but remind us of the greater pleasure in store for some of us—of vis iting home and loved ones during the holidays. And yet while a visit home brings pleasure and happiness, it is doubtful if many of us should go home during the short vacation given us? They say that these are troublous times financially aud there is scarcely a girl in the Seminary whos parents are not making sacrifices to keep her here. Why then this foolish expenditure of money and time merely for two or three days pleasure. For every girl in the Seminary to go home daring Christmas would require^ at least $1350. How much better devote this to some Christ mas work or charity. The Seminary is becoming very jealous of Mrs. Ham and Miss Lucile who have secured in winning the affec tions of Miss Meritt to so great an ex tent that she spends each Sunday and Monday with them at their pleasant home near the city. No, we will not say that we are jealous. We are glad to loan to Mrs. Ham, our friend and teacher for we feel that in the great sorrow which a mysterious Providence has sent upon the family of Col. Ham, Miss Merritt with her sympathizing nature and sweet Christian spirit has been a help and an inspiration to the grief stricken family. The library is rapidly becoming one of the features of the Seminary. The room set apart for it is a very pretty one, and neatly furnished. We need more books and a library building. Why will not some good citizen of Gainesville or Hall county donate a thousand or twenty-five hundred dol lars to this cause and have the library named for him. His name would be perpetuated for all time in the minds and hearts of the yonng women of the state. '■ The faculty ..concert was a briliant success and we have cause to feel proud of our Conservatory department. The receipts were about $15 which was used to help pay for the busts recently bought for the library. We again rise to ask what has beeome. of the Signal? We miss it. It fills a place in our college life that nothing else can take. We understand that editors were elected: what I of them? ' r - I Announce arrival of Holiday Hoods.
