II this odd notion is not yet peculiar to

originality that gives it decided relish
de slowly pushed up into the suPper-room,
where We found the class Of '64 seated about
tables ranged along two sides and across the
upper end of the room, while the company
found seats in plenty on settees ranged he
tween these tables and the wall. Then the
gallery at the opposite end was filed, and
the benches were then brought and placed
across the open square, and when all were
seated, it would have been hard to find any
where brighter or more cheerful audience
shan this, made up almost entirely of young
men and Young women, with younger boys
and girls All at once there was a clapp.ng
o. hands, and light bursts Of laughter, and
the audience rose to It's feet as the young
husband and his wife, and the nurse carry ing
the baby, and the escort CT friends came in
and passed TO their seats at the upper end Of
she hall. The husband and father, Rev.
Walter W. Pattershall, has reason to be
proud of the baby and its mother; II was
pretty to see the lady's graceful, unaffected
way Of taking her honors, and pretty to watch
the little baby Of ten months acting before
these two or three hundred people as uncon-
seiously as If he was in his own nursery.
To see him take the cup, which was almost
az big as himself, into his hand and put it
right away to its mouth, and then look up
and crow out the most unintelligible thanks
20 the gentlemen that gave it to him, and
then take another drink and then flourish it
in the air to that extent that it looked every
minute as if he were going to throw 1t over
his head and then to see the stoId way IN
which he took the three cheers for the baby
and the three cheers for the father; and the
three for the family, never once wiEking, but
throwing in " tiger" in the shape OF
lusty crow at the end of every battery, and
then getting ready for the next by taking
hong pull at his cup, all this was a wonder to
behold Ii he understood the speaking he
must have found it very good indeed. He
listened as if he understood it, and sat
straight up in his nurses lap. while Mr..
Whitney poured out, with the gravest face in
the world, his excellent jokes and puns;
when Mr.. Ankel, with admirable tact and
aelicacy sent all of US outside home, begging
NJ to escor, the baby, who, the class thought,
ought by this time, it being then l o'clock, to
be in bed, Master Fred submitted to be car
yied off with the best grace in the wsrld, and
babe us all good night with another flourish
Of the cup and the merriest succession Of
sTovs that ever baby gave.
