The GRADUATEs.--Of twenty.three
young men who only last month stepped
across the threshold of life from an east
ern college, and went forth upon the
trackless ocean of life to battle with relcnt-
less fate and win renown or glorious
death in the arena, eleven are clerkug in
auction stores at fourteen dollars month,
one is running fish boat, Two are learn
ing the house painting trade, one starved
to death before he had been ont of college
II week, one is driving team on Il street
contract, two are tramps, and the others
are living with their widowed mothers,
who are their support. Fact is, brethren,
when old life grapplcs its hooks into a
mans collar it shakes all the arena and
ocean and battle business out of him so
quick that in six weeks, if he is alive, he
knows more in minute about the price of
pork and flour than he can tell you about
