College Education.

While sitting in Virginia hotel, not O
hundred miles from Tennessee, one night,
we were entertained by the conversation OF
number of chivalrous members of q
literary association of southern college.
They were narrating the pleasantries that
occurred at the election of officers for their
association. jim was stating how the
candidate of his side was defeated. He
said they expected warm time, and
therefore, all entered the room in the anna
BILE mood of being innocently EARNED
with pistols and long Knives" to give a
little sportive force to their votes and he
remarked, in elegant, classic language,
that, ''me and Joe was chose to
lead our side;" and after stating
that they we're defeated, he re-
marked that ''me and him and a lot
more Of 'em left the society,"" &c. OF
course, all this gentle and elegant diction
and sentiment was the inspiration of their
own unaided genius, and dependent in no
degree upon the instruction of the profess
sors but, the writer of this having gradu-
ated from no higher institution than log
schsol-house, was unable to appreciate the
beauties of their college education, or to
perceive the liberality of exposing their
society matters in a public bar-room but
their better educated discipline and delicacy
prompted them to more generosity to the
