that they were-they calculated the odds
in their favor.
"Nowi" shouted Elnathan. And Soph.
No. One measured bis length on the
sward from q blow square in the face.
No. Two went down by his side. Like u
thing of steel and steam did the freshman
move and strike. They could not touch
him. They were sports, but not boxers.
They were taken by surprise, and before
they could think the third man was piled
upon the top of his two fallen compan-
ions.
Elnathau did not hesitate. He was
acting from principle, and meant to con.
quer the last man, or be himself con-
quered. He struck with his left hand as
surely and swiftly as he did with his
right; and upon the heads and bodies Of
those young men, all unused to severe
toll, his terrific blows were decisive. The
first man was 60 completely bewildered
that he came not again to the conflict.
But We do not care to picture scene
of fisticuffs. Suffice it to say that at the
end of ten minutes nearly the whole of
the Freshman class came forth from an
adjacent copsewood, and gathered around
the standing hero, proud, strong and un-
scathed, and the six fallen Sophomores--

He approached the leader of the hazing

"Then stand up here. By the spirit

And the other five promised, and they
were suffered to 60 their way.
Elnathan would have been carried to
the college in triumph if he would have
allowed it; but as it was, his class escort
ed him jubilantly, and made the welkin
ring with their plaudits.
At first those who had not seen refused
to believe what they had heard but when
they beheld the signs of Elnsthan's handi-
work upon the countenances of the Soph-
ignores they could no longer doubt.
The Faculty heard, and held their
peace; and from that time there was no
more hazing of Freshmen during the
term.-Syloanus Cobb, Jr., in Ntw York
