On an evening preceding Thsnksgiv-
ing, many years ago, two students left tho
college with the most foul intent of procure
ing some Of the doctors fine and fat chick
ems, that roasted on tree adjoining his
honse. When they arrived st the spot one
aseended the tree while the other stood
with the bag, ready to receive the plunder.
It so happened that the. doctor himselfhs
just left the mouse, with the view to secure
the same chickens for his THANKSGIVING
dinner. The rogue under the tree hearing
some one approaching, immediately crept
away without notifying his companion
among the branches. The doctor came IN
silently and was Immediately sslutsd from
above IS follows:
"AFe you ready p
ayes" responded the doctor, dissembs
ling hia voice as much IS possible
The other immediately laying his handz
on the old rooster, exclaimed:
"Hsre is old Prex, viii you have him %
Pass him along" was the reply, and he
was soon in the doctors bsg.
Here's msrm Prex," said the uneon-
scioEs student grabbing fine old hen,
"Will you have her ?"
ayes" ssid ths doctor.
"hege's son JOnni Will you have himF'
HYes," sgsin responded the doctor.
"Hsre's daughter Sal, take her" and so
on until he had gone regularly through
with the doctors family chickens.
The old man walked of in one direction
with the plunder, while the student well
sstisaen with the nights work, came down
and streaked for the college, Great was
his asIonishment to lesrn from his COM
paniOn that he had not got any chickens,
if he gave them 70 any one it must bean
DR.. Mott. Expulsion, fine and disgrace
were uppsrmost in their thoughts until the
next forenoon, when both received polite
| invitation from their president requesting
the presence Of their company 70 rhsnks-
giving dinner To decline was impossible,
30 with hearts full of anxiety for the result
they wended Their way 70 the house whers
they were pleasantly received by the old
gentleman, and with large party we're
soon seated around the festive board. After
asking blessing, the doctor rose from his
seat, and, taking the carving knife turned
/ with a smile 20 the rogues and said:
HYoung gentlemen, here's old Prsx, marm
Prex, son John, and daughter Sal" at the
same time touching suoeeasively the respec-
tive chickens; 40 which viii you be

pretending to say when peace viii come I
feel convinced that whan It does come it
viii be suddenly. There will be no pro-
trscted guerrilla warfare. The people are
too intelligent not 70 know when thew are
beaten in the South, and they have fought
so well that it win be no discredit TO &C

AZ see the Times after having for four
years been filing It's resders with lies about
America without ever by any chance
having been right in sny instance, is now,
just when sill its former statements sre on
the point OF falsi6cstion, leading its dupes
on another false scent, and persuading
them that as soon as the civil war Is ct an
end, the Americans will commencels HEr
with England OF France, or both Whist
a compliment this Is to the power Of those
Republicans, that, sfser such war IS the

bellion which It was said could not be sun

OF the most powerful nations in the worldR
