A PHANTOM OF DELIGHT
(Not directed at Mr. Wordsworth)
She was a phantom of delight
A glow that made his whole world
bright,
He followed her from work that night.
With graceful tread she crossed the
street,
A nymph quite good enough to eat,'
He followed her in close retreat.
Like 'music, yet without a sound,
Her feet seemed scarce to touch the
ground,
He followed her like faithful hound.
He glimpsed her eyes and lips ask-
ance,
He wondered if she liked to dance,
And still he followed, in a trance.
She must have been a highborn queen,
The first one he had ever seen,
For he was young, ahd very green.
He thought of ernline robe, and gown,
And what a hit he'd make in town
By marrying with such renown.
But no, he could not hope for that
The head beneath that dainty hat
Belonged to an aristocrat.
She would not deign to look his way,
This thorough-bred young fairy fay,
Gold does not mix with common clay.
He rued the heartless day that he
A rural lad was born to be ,

So far beneath her dignity.
He cursed and called himself a fool
For having quit the gramamr school
To dodge the threatened dunce's stool.'
She seemed as lofty as a cloud,
And he, just one out of the crowd,
Pursued her still, completely cowed.
But these high dreams he had to drop,
He saw his fairy figure stop
And gaze into a clothing shop.

Then once again from out of sight,
,He watched her in the silent night,
She was a phantom of delight.
A ,princess worthy of the name,
He heard her inwardly exclaim,
'"With them togs I'd be some sw
dame."

developments, dated June 13. Special
messenger and great dispatch were the
only posible means by which such a
victory could be attained.
With the Detroit Gazette, starting
in 1797, a marked improvement is no-
ticeable in newspaper technique. Cuts
of trees and animated 'horfes" appear
on the pages, type is more legible and
the make-up appreciably improved,
while poems and mathematical prob-
lems contrive to make the paper a
companion for the lonely hours that
must be whiled away by the subscrib-'
ers between its weekly -appearances.
Historically Valuable
This file, secured from the public
library of Detroit and formerly a part
of the Burton collection, is of particu-
lar value in giving local history.
Names of localities and old residents
that have been long familiar in the
neighborhood are here recorded. Pro-
ceedings of the Detroit town council
are put down and they constitute a
valuable reference for old city cus-
toms. That the paper had wide circu-
lation all over the settled districts
of Michigan and the vicinity is shown
by the many advertisements from Buff-
alo, Mackinac Island, and points of
equal distance.
The file for the years 1819 and 1820
shows the"region when it was first
expanding with the influx of Ameri-
can settlers after the war of 1812.
French names and French articles are
stil to be found occasionally, relics of
the days not so long before, when th
post was an old French fort. band
in the vicinity of the town are adve:
tised with much the same ludidity a
the modern subdivision.
Good Fish Story
One advertisement of particular ir
terest was that of the new steamboa
"Walk-in-the-Water," which plowe
the waves regularly to Buffalo in trip
that required four days and consiste
of visits at all the settlements alon
'the American and Canadiau shoreE
An ancedote is told, which must b
taken with a grain of salt, of how th
boat was detained at the mouth of th
river for five hours waiting for a larg
shoal, of whitefish to pass by into th,
lake.
The collection as a whole is a high
ly valuable historical record of life I
the earlier days in the Northwest dis
trict and quite an acquisition to th
University. Students of history hav
formerly ben forced to refer directl
to the originals to secure the neces
sary data for their studies, but th
posession of these copies will permi
direct access without damage to th
documents themselves.

The point about which particular

printers was the manner in which
