FANciES OF THE HOUR.
The Harvard freshman who caught
sight offs fashion-plate of semi-miIitary
overcoats in swell tailor's window,
and, thinking one would be awfully
nifty, went in to be measured and Sc
lect one from it, failed to bride the two
sophs who happened to be in there not
to give it away that the tailor asked
him whether it was a coachman's or a
foOtman's livery that he wanted, and
will probably accede to the indignant
request to withdraw from the college,
unanimously presented by the class
which he has irredeemably disgraced.
The poet Moore used to hunt for days
for single word to compile the musi-

the present Inhabitants, but there are
also twice as many of them.
While the people of Rhode Island
are preparing To furnish Il monument
for the remains of the Narragansett

In these times OF general dishonesty
we are proud TO say that We know one
man whose pledges have all been kept.
They are kept by his uncle, because the
man can't raise the each to redeem
them.
Now the aged liar is happy again.
He can sit around in the corner gro
Gerry, white the sugar and salt bar
rels and lie about the heavy snow
storms they used to have early in Au
gust when he was a boy.
Some philosopher is of the opinion
that the things which are seemingly
the most trivial are often worthy of
great attention. This is true, especi-
ally i'm the case of 4 boil OH the back of
your neck.
The price of leather betting has al
vanced from ID to % per cent; but
what does the small boy care? He
knows very well that though betting
