Living at College.

Apropos of several paragraphs recent ly published relating to College expenses a correspondent describes his experience at New England university half cen- tury ago. His father was farmer of small means with a family of five, and he was selected for collegiate educa- tion because he was afceble, puny boy, not stout enough to become farmer. During his preparatory studies he was sent home to die on account of protracted , hemorrhage of the lungs. His fnther died few weeks before his son entered college. He was left dependent chiefly upon his own resources. During his college course of four years he taught school every winter The schools were large and outside of the regular school hours he had to sot tho copies, rule the writing books and make the pens for most of the scholars. The wages for the first year were $13 30 month, and sub seTuently SIS. He earned something during his first college year by taking care of the recitation room ; and during the second year by ringing the chapel bell for morning and evening prayers. During one term he boarded himself. His feod was brown bread, crackers and milk /; and he had neither fish, meat, pies, cake, coffee nor tea. During that term he took threc extra studies and ac- complished more than in any other term. Then about thirty of the students form ed club, the lowest cost to each mem- Der being $1 ,06 perawcek and the highest l.2O. The excess of his expenses cvcr his earnings during the college course was $13O. He now boasts that he has been actively engaged at the bar for forty-six years, with the exception of six weeks when he was disabled by ill health, and has had no vacations The moral which he draws for the benefit of gr'lmblers in hard times, whether poor student, c1ispins, tranps or others, is this "Work more and spend lcss."

How He Danced with his Wife.

The Springfield correspondence of the Pittsfeld Edg6 says We had mask ed ball the other night given by one of Springfeld's we'll known clubs, and ''thereby hangs a tale" A business man told his pretty young wife, on the night of the above mentioned ball that he was obliged to go out of town to one of the teniperande meetings, and might not return till the following noon. The wife resolved after he had left to have a good time in Q different way, so accord ingly she procured simple black dom ino and went boldly to the masked ball. She had never done such rash thing before, but her husband had been away very often of late, and she would nope at home no longer. She danced once, twice, three times and nobody seemed to know her, yet she was fully determined to see it over and unmask with the rest at twelve o'clock Now dashing young cavalier asks for her hand for the coming waltz, and she accepts. They whirl away and she shys, "Do you dance of ten ?" blushing behind her mask at her boldness. "Very often," replied the cavalier, and added, "not often in Spring field" "You do not live here, then?'' the little domino mustered up courage to say. "1 would live here or at the ends earth to be near little black domino that could mention," snid the cavalier | This was too much for the little lady, but she was in for it, and would fight it out now, como what would. They danc- cd great denl together and when the circle formed just before twelve o'clock, they unmasked. when to the horror o1 Mr..---, he found that he had been dancing with his own wife. The scene that followed can be imagined, and w, will drop the curtain on the lcctllr, which followed. but will say that it wat not on temperance.

They started it with considera- blc difficulty. and at the very outset it ran over pile of slates and school books, crushing them to bits, Gaining speed as it whirled along, it soon overlook and flnttencd a dog. Next, it smashed a wagon, from which man jumped just in time to save his life ; and then, quit ting the roud, it crashed through a China mans shanty, and buried itself i'll ra- vine. The boys arc said to have been fully satisfied with the diversion.

eighty-fve in number, assembled to escort them to the cars. The freshmen got wind of what was brewing, and stole q march on their opponents by leaving Princeton on an earlier train for the Junction, where they would have to wait some time for the express on the Pennsylvania road, Each of the depart ing delinquehts Carried stout, thick cane, of the kind Known as club, in his right hahd, while his left, in his overcoat pocket, grasped revolver. They were accompanied by Matthew Goldie, the College Proctor-a man six feet tall and weighing 235 pounds.
 After tic sophs found that their prey had, escaped them, they started down the track for the Junction, swearing to " set tie the hash" of the five freshmen in short order. At the canal they met the outward bound train, which they boarded and took possession of without more ado. A good1y proportion wore armed with pistols, and all of ther6 had clubs. On the way down they amused them selves by singing at the tops of the1r voices
 Here's to good old whisky,
 Drink cr,down'
 Here's to good old whisky,
 Drink her down.
 Here's to good old whisky,
 For 1t makes you feel so frlsky,
 Drink her down, drink her down, | Drink her down, down, down!
 Other college songs were sung, an6 the fun was interspersed with cheers fol "Prex" " and groans for the freshmen.
 At the Junction charge was made fo the freshmen, who had concealed them solves in the ladies waiting room. Blu the big, burly figure of the Procto blocked the way, and the sophs found 1 inconvenient to dislodge him. The, tried clubs, stones, pieces of coal, bu the Proctor struck out like Horatius q the bridge, in behalf of his forlorl charge. Suddenly the tram from Ne' York hove in sight, and Goldie, breakup through the throng of angry collogians by sheer force succeeded ill dragging tn hunted freshmen to the cars, followed b the hootings and groans of the angr crowd behind. The train moved of ami tiual volley of stones and coal, , which the brave Proctor received tn larger share in person. Meantime tn Freshmen class had refused in body attend chapel.
 The name of the freshman original 9 hazed by Atterbury and Carter ws - Louis J. Lang, of Waverly, N. J. H was poor but industrious student, an l. had recently met with domestic affii' = tion. Under the circumstances th Il freshmen deemed that he had bee ' treated unjustly, and accordingly too measures to avenge him in the manne : related.
