On Friday last about midday, the sun SHINING down
upon the splendid elms, just beginning to show signs
of yellow autumn, in the College square of New Ha-
ven, a very beautiful female figure enveloped in a
dark Dress neat bonnet with veil on it, crossed
the green sward, and took the direction to the post
office of that lovely town. On reaching the post Of

and half putting aside her veil at the time.

ANswER.-I have great esteem for the students
Of Yale College. They sensible, intelligent, orr
gnal corps Of young philosophers. All Of them know
much as the Professors and many Of them devil
sh sight more for it is well known that, with some
EXCEPTIONS the professors of that institution only
Egyptian mumnes put in motion by the power Of
animal magnetism. But the students, in order TO pre-
serve my good opinion, must not on any account,
interfere with the sweet young ladies, or sndeavor 10
prevent them from getting sensible and respectable
husbands Young gentlemen at college are too much
in the habit of stealing fair girls hearts, flirting with
them a few weeks, making solemn engagements,
swearing fidelity each other, under the venerable
elms when the bright moon is peeplnR, like Paul
Pry from Heaven upon them through the trees
Now all such engagements are worse than useless
In Nantucket, no young man is allowed to knee to

after young girls dear soft hearts, until he has found
some settlement in life. Love is very fine thing to
dream, talk, sigh and think about-but love TO be
lasting must be founded on solid beef steak, IL cents
