Story Of q Tramp.

We fell in with Colonel Of the late
Confederate uppleasantness the other
day, who gave us a cnrions story of ro-
mantle aud interesting experience. The
overhow Of the levees On the Mississip-
pi drowned cut his store ard goods and
reduced him in short half hour from
independence to poverty last spring
Then be came North as to ia;.d Of
promise, where he could find the friend-
Of his prosperity and obtain assista &c
He got as far As Baltimore, and from
there became tramp and walked IT,
New York. When lie arrived in that
city be had ~ cents. which he invested
in clean paper collar and had his
boots BACKED.
Having known Badly Smith in bet
ter days be called on our Police Com
missioner, and peor and seedy as he
was, met with a fine reception and got
some money, after ether othe- friends
had refused to give him . cold potato.
For some weeks lie wandered about
New York seeking for something to do.
and one Of his friends Miss kelloge)
remembered him in the days Of old as
her entertainer and patron. and pre-.
sented him with n suit of clothes. At
last he met accidentally gentleman
formerly Of the South. who is Wall
street broker, who gave him "a starter"
in stocks, and to day the Colonel is At
Saratoga with fast horse and several
Thousands in cash. Such are the ups
and downs Of life. Let us look careful
ly at u tramp before We kick him out

sidered it necessary to ihu3 locate her,
lest she might dwindle into obsrurity
in the valley, they were laboring unaer
the greatest delusion. Although her
fame may not yet be so wide spread as
that of Grecian Athens, yet it has gone
far, and the prospects are very favor
able for her not only to ably sustain
the past, but to even eclipse her bright
est days. No one thing has done so
much toward furthering the interests
of this village rs the college located
here. When the college fiOurished, the
town fiourished; and when the life Of
the former seemed to decline, the
thrift. the enterprise, in fact every i'm
Portant interest of the latter waned.
This time hOnored institution of learn

at present. The number of students
the present term is quite an advance
on that of last year. The energetic
and faithful labors of its most excellent
President, De-. Vincint, and other
members of the faculty. are telling in
the college and 40 the ,.opun unity,
ard we hope the day no; Far distant,
whec Franklin College will receive the
encouragement and support which she
ST. richly deserves.
