NEW HAVEN, May 9, 1872
With the opening OF the summer term and preva-
lence OF fine weather the boathouse OF Yale College
is beginning to present a lively appearance Much
comment has been made by the students with re-
gard to the proceedings OF the Boating Association
of American Colleges, which met on the 18th ult at
Worcester. Yale did not gain much by that meet
ing, as she, together with Harvard, wished to have
all the details of the regatta y arranged, but
could not, and had hoped Tor a e-mle straight
away race, but that also fell thrOt n.
The choosing of the course, whicn important
point left to the captains, Will be decided on
the LIST prox, and a. 1t has been agreed "that the
crews should be chosen from one department only"
those OF the Scientific who have been In training
several months in the gymnasium will now have to
have been the stroke in the intercollegiate Regatta,
and is considered decidedly the best man In the
/ University for the position.
Many here are in favor OF challenging Harvard
for an outside race to come Off about the l2th or
July-rowing, of course, with crew from all de-
partments; but the proposition has not yet assumed
much shape, but Will be taken up and decided upon
this week.

ScoLDING.-Scolding is mostly a habit.
There is not much meaning in it. til
often the result of nervousness, and an
irritable condition of both mind and
body A person is tired, or annoyed at
some trivial cause, and forthwith com
mcnccs finding fault with everything
and everybody in reach.
Scolding is habit very easily form
ed. 1t is astonishing how soon one,
who INDUCES in it at all, becomes adj
dicted to it, and confirmed in it.
Tt is an unreasoning and unreasona-
BILE habit. Persons who once get in the
habit of scolding always find something
to scold about. If there were nothing
else, they would fall scolding at the
mere absence of anything to scold at.
1t is an extremely disagreeable habit.
The constant rumbling Of distant thun-
der, caterwaulings, or hand organ un-
der ones window, would be less un-
pleasant.
The habit is contagious. Once in
troduced into family, it is pretty GER
tain, in short time, to affect all the
members. If one of them begins nj
ways finding fault about something or
nothing, the others are apt very soon to
take it up, and very unnecessary bed
lam is created.
People in the country fall more read
ily into the habit of scolding than peo-
pie in the city. We suppose it is be-
cause they have less TO occupy and di-
vert their attention.
Women. contract the habit more fire.
quently than men. This may be because
they live more in the house, III u con-
fined and heated atmosphere, very try
ing 10 the nervous SYSTEM and the health
i'll general, and it may be partly that
their natures arc more susceptible, and
their senstivcncss more easily wound
cd Women are sometimes called d.
vine; butn scolding woman never seems
divine. But we will say 10 more on
the subject, or some pretty creature
will feel inclined 10 scold lis for what
we say about scoldng.-N J. ledger

philosopher, going to greater extent,
insists that it is well to get drunk daily
for the medicinal effect, and his theory
has met with the most popular success
of any. Horace also tells Us that no
poet who drinks water can write good
poetry; and Athennus asserts that Al
caus and Aristophanes wrote poems
only when they were intoxicated. Ana

while Pindar is rcdolcnt of the cxhilar-
