...Amateur Advocate, a sheet which proceeds from the wilds of East Cambridge, and bears for its motto the significant words, "Truth, Virtue, and Temperance." It asserts itself as being "devoted to the study and progress of literature among the younger classes," nor does the quality of its reading matter belie this declaration. We quote from the "Salutatory": "We have done our best under the circumstances, but we hope to do better. In the hurry and bustle contingent to the starting of a paper, we have tried to make this number satisfactory; but if in any particular it fails to meet...
...Hooper was complete master. Our Nine were almost entirely free from that nervousness which usually takes possession of them in Yale matches, and fielded in fine style. Cutler won fresh laurels by his magnificent fielding, while the three basemen, aided by Annan, rendered running the bases an extremely delicate matter for their opponents. Hodges made the very creditable score of no outs, seven runs, four base-hits, and two double plays. Harvard's batting was a succession of heavy, safe hits. It is entirely incompatible with the theory of the game of base-ball that wild, brute-force throwing should...

Then, like the light of the dawn going before the full radiance of the sun, the self-consciousness of each human mind precedes the full resumption of the sceptre over its allotted portion of matter that begins another day of life. Then the visions of the night assume consistency and beauty, and our fancies of the daytime reappear endowed with substance. All our dreams are permeated with a consciousness of power to control them, yet no enjoyment could seem more real or be more unalloyed...
...merest society twaddle. Servant-girls and babies may be very pleasant topics of conversation to these young ladies, but they are hardly the subjects one would choose to drag before the public in an essay for a quarterly, and in such a place thorough discussion of a matter is expected rather than a superficial narration. Besides all this, such articles as "The Moon Hoax" - a valuable piece of information, no doubt - are more suited to the local columns of the daily press than to pages where we have a right to expect something more than mediocrity...
