A FREAK OF COLLEGE STUDENTS. TIL
colegians seem to feel the loss of their we'll
curb as deeply as they did the loss of the
"old-oaken bucket, not long since. In con-
sideraton of this fact, number OF them as
sembed near the college last evening, and,
with faces masked and persons enveloped in
"winding sheets OF white, took up their
cline of march" through the principal
streets to the enlivenng music OF fife and
drum. Their ghostly appearance, as they
marched in single file under the glare OF bloz-
ing torches ana transparencies, attracted the
attention of every one, and as 1T was near
that ''witching hour when churchyards yawn'
some who gazed upon the wierd processi on
did not know but that the grave in reality had
given up its dead. Regardless of suTmises,
however, the grave" visaged corps" moved
on to the dead" beat of the drum, and not
a word spoke they until the circuit OF the
principle thoroughfares had been made. we
inferred, from the transpariencles which they
bore, that like a certain biblical character
they wanted water and that they were
drawn up" in such imposing array for the
purpose of getting it.
We did not see any beverage of that ma
ture however, and we came to the conclusion
that the demonstration did not work " well.
The procession collapsed on Thoyer street,
where they gave six very able groans. equally
divided in favor of two parties, who were
not present-the finale being brought about
by shout that " He's coming which was
followed by miraculously sudden putting
out of the transparencies and torches, and
equally rapid putting out D." of the process

er-demain with which our reporter is not con
versant. The curtain falls upon forloru
drummer and an equally forlorn ffer, keep
ing time to the music of flying feet and
wrapped in wonderment, as to who was to
settle for their valuable services in the great
demonstration.-[P Providence Herald,

To REMOVE More FROM THE EYE-Take q
horse hair and double it, leaving loop. II
the mote can be seen, lay the loop over it,
close the eye, and the mote will come out as
the hair is withdrawn. If the irritating OBJ
ject cannot be seen, raise the lid of the eyes
as far as possible, and place the loop as far
in as you can, close the eye and roll the ball
around few times, then draw out the hair

be sure to come with it, This method is prac-

TIE story of the Princess de Meter
mich having nursed the babe of her for
mer maid at her breast, reminds an Aus
trian journalist of the fact that the EN-.
press of Austria, in 1850, did the same
dung with the babe of the widow of a
sol" ers, who had been killed at Solferino.
His wife lived at Luxemburg, and the
news of her husbands death threw her
upon a long sich-bed, so that she was un-
BILE to suckle her child. The Empress
who knew her and came to visit her found
that the poor mother could not nurse her
child, and took the little creature to her
own breast until a wet-nurse, for whose
services the kind hearted Elizabeth paid,
had been provided.

ANIMALS IN HINDosTAN--TheH Hindoo

ly swallow some creature. Hindoos will
die rather than taste beef-a fact which
has often been proved on board of vessels
where ali the provision were expended
except salt beef. Indeed, all animals
have degree of sacredness to devout
Hindoo. Those that subsist on vegeta-
bles are supposed to be favored by divine
beings. They believe every animal is
endowed with thought and memory, and
has some mode Of communicating its
ideas to its own species.
AT Surat is a Banian hospital where
diseased and aged animals are watched
with tenderness care. Kindness towards
animals inculcated in all the sacred books
and everywhere practiced as a religious
duty, forms a lovely fc;,ue in Asiatic re
ligious whico Chris i"riiy would do well
to initiate. True, it i> founded on SYM

between men and animals is ne2uitul and

believe the soul Of an ancestor may have
passed into horse, they might practice
from highter motive. Tenderness to

merely need to apply the first and most
obvious rule of natural religion: "How

YOU are getting into years. Yes, but
years are getting into you-the ripe years,
the genial years, the lusty, luscious years,
One by one the crudities of your youth
are falling from you, the vanity, egotism,
the insulation, the bewilderment, the un-
certainty. Nearer and nearer you are
approaching yourself You are consoli
dating your forces. You are becoming
master of your situation. On the ruins
of shattered plans you find your vantage
gronnd. Your bloken hopes, your
thwarted purposes, your defeated aspira-
tons, become staff of strength by
which you mount to a sublimer height
With selt-possession and self,command
of all things, the title deed of creation,
forfeited, is reclaimed.
The king has to his own again. Earth
and sea and sky pour out their largest of
love. All the crowds pass down to lay
their treasure at your feet-K Marrel.

How TO MAKE A Coal FIRE.-If everybody
knew how to make coal fire, there would be
more comfort inside, and less smoke outside the
house, in cold weather. Before you throw on the
GOALS pull all the fire to the front of the CRATE to-
the cinders or ashes which will be found under
the CRATE, then throw on the Goals The gas
evolved in the process of roasting the Goals will
be absorbed by the cnders, and render them in
an increased degree combustible. The smoke
will thus be burnt, and fine, glowing, smoke
less fire, will be the result
