Mr.. EDITOR: Permit me through the me-
dunn of your excellent paper, to correct a
report that has been extensively circulated to
injury of this Institution "That there is a
great amount of sickness among 49, The
report is utterly without foundation. There
has not been a single case of fever in College
since the present Session commenced, We
have been almost entirely free from diseases
of every kind. No physician has been in
the Institution on professional business in
several weeks.
Prof. Raillard, who boards in the village
had an attack Of Dysentery soon after his
return from New York, which was ascribeC
to change of climate and diet-he has re

A NEW TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT IN New
York. The New York papers publish the
report and proceedings Of a new organization
of the friends oftemperance at a meeting held
in that city on Saturday last. A platform
of principles was agreed to, recommend
ing the policy of moral s~uasion, and con-
demning all forms of ~coercive legislation.
The fact that the Maine law of that State
has proved a complete failure in every res
pect was unhesitatingly admitted by the ora
tors of the meeting, and the Carson League
and Temperance Alliance was unsparingly
denounced. A through reorganization Of
the temperance party, on the basis of moral
%suasion and the enactment of a stringent Ii
cense law, is the object of the movement, d
which the meeting of Saturday night Is said
to be but the commencement.

told the Superintendent that he liked his sit

that he wished to attend church and accom-

therefore could not go with the mail en- the
Sabbath. He was not dismissed. He pros
pered more than before, and yet lives to bear
testimony not to the duty only, but to the
utility of keeping the Sabbath. His children

Sympathy Seekers.

BY this term we choose to designate a class
OF persons who make a business Of disclosing
the long and doleful story Of their misfor-
tunes in the business relations Of life, and in
the practice Of social and moral virtues.
II is a natural characteristic Of the bumnn
family to desire the sympathy Of our fellow
creatures and many Of the class to whom
we allude may be so very sincere in the man
Hesitation of their desires in this respect that
1t would be unkind to speak discourteously
concerning them. But by far the larger por-
ton, we fear, are actuated only by a morbid
desire to be considered frank and open hear
ted-among those who consider concealment
n negative virtue as though a silent tongue
concerning our own private affairs and inter-
nal conflicts were a positive evil that needed
q speedy correction. The presence of such
people is wofully tiresome. They are the
most unmitigated bores, not easily shaken
off. They care little whether you have the
faculty Of keeping secrets or not if they
can only detain you as a listener they will
unburden themselves of their mountain of
sorrows, and penitently look for a crumb of
coincidence. With all our hearty hatred of
the scandal-mongers, we can but believe these
wretched cyclists sincerely desire their aid
70 witty them in order that they may be con
sidered greater objects Of commisseration.
But leaving this class Of persons, with lit
tie hope Of their amendment, we will con-
clude our article by Offering a few words Of
advice to those who sincerely, yet indiscreet-
ly, seek sympathy by unburthening their
troubles Of soul and body to all. We have
no desire to wound their sensibility, yet we
must say that most persons, except it be
near and dear bosom friend, consider then
vexatious intruders upon their time and pa
thence, and that many, philosophers even
class them along with those whom our Irisl
friends denominate /" little innocents !" w,
advise them in all candor to be cheerful an
Observation-Disclosures and brave even in tn
fercest storm of adyersity-always wearin,
an undaunted front that does not seem t
beg sympathy of any. Such a course woul,
not be the occasion Of losing a true and gen
erous friend, indeed it would gain many
while, at the same time, it would be a pre-
lection against the insults of enemies. lie
all such refrain from relating their crosse
promiscuously, since few will be found
lend an interested ear to the recital-the be-
Of one mans friends can always stand i
one spot of sunshine whilst on the othe
hand, those bitter enemies-and they are tC
often in swarms like locusts-who enviC
them in prosperity, will be ready to fall upc
them, now that they are feeble, and cru'
them to the earth with the very i~mplemen
which their own openness supplied.
Ay free Altman yer story tell,
When wi yer bosom crony,
But still keep somethin' to your sell,
Ye scarcely tell to ony.
Conceal yer'seil as we'll a we can
Fra critical dissection,
But keek thro' every ither man,
WI sharpened, sly inspection.

pay King Death, in his Yellow Robe, is

mows the green grass. His throne of skulls
is erected in every city. The hearse is ever
