 X COLLEGE YARN.--One Ihght, as my friend P-and myself, who were both students at old Yale, were out taking little run around the city, we found our selves at rather late hour of the night be- fore the door of awell known grocer by the name of Snip.
 Stop moment" said P----turning and gazing at Ships fancy sign that was swinging to and fro in the breeze.
 Whats up?' Iasked after P---had eyed 1t for some time contemplatively.
 |" Nothing in particular Bob" said he: just give me little hoist here, and I'll fetch that picture down in double quick time. That Snip is scoundrel, for he presented my bill this morning and when refused to pay it he threatened to inioim the tutor"
 No sooner asked than received; the sign was down and we were oa in triumph. Sud- denly window opened and out popped the head of Snip crying:
 :" Bring that back, you internal young villains! Bring that ere back; now mind, tell yer''
 No answer was returned, but specimen of very tall walking took place. We were soon in our room with the door locked. and the glittering prize before us, for we had hung on to it like grim death. By the aid of an ax that chanccd to be at hand, 1t was soon reduced to pieces remarkably adapted to the stove, into which itwas dis appearing as fast as time would permit. Ere 1t had passed from sight we were sud- denly startled by the cautious tread of two persons apparently nearing our door. The steps of one we recognized as being those for the tutor, and the other we very lightly conjectucd belonged tothe late propritor oi the relics around US. Here was 8 fix for us. Enough of the sign was left to convict us, as there was no place in which to conceal 1t.
 Rap, rap, rap was sounding at the door. gave myself up to fate, and was about to go and unlock 1t, when l was arrested by the voice of P---, exclaiming in the most solemn tones imaginable
 "From everlasting to everlasting art Thou, oh, Lord of hosts.'
 Turning around in astonishment, l be- held my friend on his knees engaged in prayer.
 The outsiders were evidently astonished, as no father attack on the door took place Ships confidence as to the precise indivld- uals was doubtless shaken in some degree In the meantime, l took the hint and went to piling in the sign with a vengeance. r.
 spun out his prayer till the last piece was reduced to ashes and then raising his voice to high key, he finished off with the quotation.--
 "And ob, have mercy upon this wicked and adulterous generation who go about seeking for sign, but have no sign, given them, Amen"
 This last renewed the suspicion of the outsiders and they repeated the knocking. We opened the door; they entered, and after minute search in every corner, they gave it up and decided that we were not the guilty ones Still noticed, as our victim disappeared, his last gaze turned most wistfully on our stove.
