User-Contributed Transcription We now offer the second No. of the Autumn Wreath because it is time for it to appear and because we wish to encourage the good cause and not because we think it a great honor to its contributors, filled as it ought and might be with gems of literature, wit and sentiment. Our contributors seem inclined "to strike light till they get their hands in," perhaps they are waiting for and expect a lecture on punctuality or dear old perseverance before before they can come up to the mark and furnish their productions in time for publication, but we think lectures enough have been delivered already on these subjects for every one to see their importance therefore we will not inflict you with a repetition of what you have so often heard but hope that merely this hint will be sufficient to recall to your minds all the good things which have ever been suggested to you in those lectures. If there is not a decided improvement in future in this respect we shall be under the necessity of coming to the conclusion that there is not as much benefit derived from the many lectures which are constantly being delivered at the institute as there might be. It has been often said that, "There are none too old or too wise to learn and that some thing may be learned even from a simpleton" hence it would be well for all to listen attentively to all the productions which are read or spoken upon this stage even if the sentiment is not expected in the most flowing style and delivered in the most graceful manner and no doubt those who do will be sufficiently recompensed for their trouble. 45 2
