THE COLLEGE CHUM.
No sooner had arrived in Dublin, than
my first care was to present myself to DR..
Mooney, by whom | was received in the
most cordial manner. In fact in my utter
ignorance Of such persons, had imagined
a Colegc-FclloW to be n character neccs-
sariIy severe and unbending; and, as the
only two very great people had ever seen
in my life, were the Archbishop Of Tuan,
and the Chief Baron, when on Circuit,
pictured to myself that an University Eel
low was, in all probability a cross between
the TWO, and feared him accordingly.
The Doctor read over my unclc's letter
aucntiycly. invited me to partakc of his
breakfast, and then entered upon some
thing like an account Of the life before me
for which Sir Harry Boyle had, however,
in some degree prepared nc.
"Your uncle / find wishes you to live in
college,; perhaps, it is better too, so that
must look out for chambers for you. Let
me sec: it will be rather difficult Just now,
to find them" Here he foIIfor some mo-
mont5 into a musing fit, and merely NUT
tered few broken sentences, as, 4" To be
sure, il other chambers could be had-but
h,n--and after all perhaps as he is young
besides Frank will certainly be expelled
before long, and then he will have them all
TO himself. say O'MaIIey, believe
mist quarter you for the present with II
rather wild companion, but as your uncle
AVS you're a prudent fcIlow'-hcre he
smiled very much, as if my uncle ha not
said any such thing-''why you must only
take the better care Of yourself, until VIC
can make some better arrangement. My
pupil, Frank Wcbbcr, is at this moment in
wnut nr 'chum,' rs the phrase is; his last
three having only been domostjcatcd with
him Tor as many weeks, SO that, until we
fad You 4 more quiet resting place, you
may take up your abode with him.
During breakfast, the DR.. proceeded to
inform me that my destined companion
was q young man of excellent family and
good fortune, who, with very considerable
talents and requirements, preferred a life
OF rackcty and careless dissipation, to pros
prcts Of great success in public life, which
his conneXion and family might have Sc
cured for him; that he had been original
w entered at Oxford, which he was OBJ
Irad to leave; then tried Cambridge, from
which he escaped expulsion by being rus
unatcd, that is, having incurred a sentence
o. temporary Punishment, and lastlT, was
o0lcayoring, with what he himself believed
10 bn a total reformation, to stumble on TO
u degree in the ''silcnt sister,"

enough to sweep the University Of It's pri-

| followed him down stairs, across the
court, to an angle Of the old square, where
mp the first floor, left, to use the college di-
rec,.on, stood at the name Of Mr.. Weber,
large No. , being conspjcuously painted
IN the middle of the door, and not over 1t,
as is usually tho custom. As we reached
The spot, the observations Of my cOmPan-
Jon were lost tomc, in the tremendous noise
ana uprolr that rcsoundcd from within
]. seemed as if number of people were
6zu,ng, pretty much as bandiltn me-
,9-drama do, with considerable more OF
confusion than is requisite: fiddle and a
French horn also lent their assistance to
shouts and cries, which, to say the least,
were no! exactly the aids to study expect
cd in such place.
Three times was the bell pulled, with u
yjg0r that threatened its downfall, when, al
last, as the jingle Of it rose above all other
noises, suddenly all became huShed and
still; q momcntary pause succeeded, and
the door was opened by Il very rcspccta-
he looking servant, who, recognizing the
Doctor. at once introduced US INTO the
anartment where Mr.. Weber was sitting.
In a large and very handsomely fur
