Troy, Wednesday evening 9Th, 1888
/ MI. Editor-Sr-Iti is now 10 o'clock; the bell has
been rung for all the young ladies to put out their
| lights and retire for the night But have put mine
| in my wardrobe snnl the crer, like your Waterman
who cries the hour and ALPS wel) has passed thro
each hail. to that all the flock is safe and allghts
out, making in her rounds a most hldeods cutlery OF
sall well So ends the last duty of day and evening.
! i have taken my lamp from its hiding place. to IN
| dite you few lines.
With delight perused the dear little Herald, (for
such itis)-I am mistaken, IT is not the paper-it Is
| the deep studied philosophy of the editor which makes
the paper dear this morning. and am happy to learn
that> received the nngles and resolutions of my
self and chums, and that you forwarded them 10 Ben
nett, by the Great Western, on Monday last. l need
not assure Il. that although small the tokens, they
came from those who truly admire the independent
| manner in which the Herald has been conducted
since it first started; and the young ladies here at
school consider Mr. b. in point of talent and wit su-
perior TO any editor in the world-he is such kind
good man for advocating the cause of us poor girls.
| Oh! dear; no one knows what kind heaven has in
| store for the dear soul. May the Holy Mary watch
over him. and keep him from all harm. i hope soon
to hear that b. has received the lock of bonny brown
hair, tied with blue ribbon. IL is but seldom that
we young ladies get peep al the Herald, lalthough
we frequently have It sent us by our friends IN New
| York; as Mrs. W. frequently intercepts them, and
she has gone SO far to open letter of one of the
young ladies, wherein she had given her parents de-
scrption of our fare Ii ran thus: breakfast pref
ty good, and tea do; but dinners cannot endure,
for was soup and beans yesterday, and beans and
soup today" DC. DC.
Since Mrs. W-'s return from New York, she
has been in unusual fine spirits. What do you sup
pose could have effected such change in the old la
dyl Oh! the idea has just come TO me- I'll tell you.
think is because she Is to be led TO the altar
there to love, cherish, and obey. If Mrs. W
should get hold of this would soon become a sacri-
fee to her rage; and doubt not but she might at
| tempt to rustcate me she did Miss t. merely
because she waved her white handkerchief Ito gen.
tleman as he passed) which is considered an unpar
\ donable offence in the eyes Of Mrs. W. She
sent Miss 7. some Is miles from the school, to an old
| Dutch family by the name OF K-er, and would not
! allow the young lady TO write home-a guilty con-
| science Her father received word somehow or 9TH
er, and came immediately after his daus hter-gave
Mrs. w. good scoldlng, and took his daughter from
the school, much TO the disgrace of her ladyship-
Mrs w would be little god, if pessble" but as
! w. She may change the name, but the seu is too
small TO admit of any other chaEge-but name.
IL o'clock good night, and pleasant dreams to YOU,
| Mr.. Editor. Excuse haste. f.
p. 5. Don't for heaven sake let this appear with
Out first making sense of it, In its present state it is
nonsense. E.
wish you would give Mrs. W. a cut upon rustica-
ting young ladies'.
Mr.. Editor
Swim fly the hours dear SIR I spend,
In writing TO so dear friend.
p. I'd. Do this justice, and you will hear from
me soon again.
A woman TO the letter, and like Walter Scou's
beautiful and affectionate Edith Bellenden, the pith
Of her letter she has put in the postscript Blythe
bye, her beautiful name has oft been celebrated in
border song, and her noble ancestors have been re-
nowned in the fierce battle field and in gentle la
dy's boudOir. God bless thee, gentle girl, and may
the benson, carissime dolc you wish TO others, be
heaped abundantly on thee.
But fe, Mrs. w. fe. beans and soup, and soup
and beans that is not fit fare for youag lady. Why
when 'our army was in Flanders" we mean, when
we fighting in that valley of rascals Texas the
meanest soldier in the ranks refused beans.
For the writer of the following, We hardly know
what we can do. We have many crazy fellows in
New York, that all spare straight jackets are in
use. However as they about to build lunatc
asylum Washington for the special benefit Of Con-
gressmen, expect a consignment of their cast off
straight jackets on here in day two and will for
ward Miss r. six or seven.
