The Scared Professor.

There is no use of Disgusting the fact
that the boys who attend. our colleges
are Iretty tough cases on keneral prin-
ciples. Not that they would commit
crimes, or:do things that are. particu-
larly dishonorable, bnt they are as full
of the Old Nick as they can hold. You
take the best boy you can find in the
public schools, one who has a religious
training and seems to have pious turn
of mind, and who is SO good that all the
other boys think he is booked for heav-
en-, and send him off toscollege, and you
want to watch him. The chances are that
he will come back with knowledge of
draw poker that will paralyze an old
gambler, and he will be sure to be
leader in all the deviltry that is going
on. An illustration of this was furnished
a short time ago in one of our State
colleges devoted to turning out pious
young men. The class in elocution was
furnished with professor from dis
tant city, who was very thorough in his
methods, but he didn't amount to any
thing at handling boys. He seemed to
ook at them in the class room appeal
ingly, as much as to beg them not to
play any monkey work on him. The
boys saw he was afraid of them, and
they laid for him. They got into dis
cussion over the proper way to render a
passage from the poemA 1.-The Boy stood
on the Burning Deck, when one of the
etudents called the other liar. The
professor held up his hands in horror
and begged them to be seated, when,
the young man who had been called a
bar drew revolver and shot at the
other student, who fell to the floor an
alleged corpse. The professor was wild
and at this point the lights went out and
very student drew a revolver and began
firing blank. cartridges in the air. Some
were armed with putty balls and eggs
and at each discharge something would
strike the professor, aud he thought he
| was full Of holes. A window was raised
and by the light made by the exploding
cartridges pair Of coat tails and legs
could be seen going ont, and the pro-
fessor landed head first on some lilac
bushes. They rushed TO the window
and the poor man, bruised and bleeding
and as scared as it was possible for a
man TO be, was running for dear life.
The next morning he took the train for
home, with black eye. and lclothes
that looked a. though something had
been scrapej od on them, and the
faculty OF she-college viii not know wha
has become Of their profession OF elocu
ton till they read this; The boys &c
about their studies as though noihi &
had happened, but they are trying Il
think up some new deylltrv. Boys vii

lacks.

Roxs sSill BE BOYS.

An exchange says a boy Will
tramp two hundred and forty miles
in one day on a rabbit hunt and be
timber in the evening; when, If you
ask him to cross the street and Dor
row Jones' two inch auger, he will
be as stiff as a meat block. To be
sure he will. And he will go swim
ming all day and stay in the water
three hours at a time, and splash
and dive, and paddle and puff, and
next morning he will feel that an
unmeasured insult has been offered
him when he is told 10y his mother
to wash his face. And he'll wander
around dry creek bed all the even
ing piling up a pebble fort, and
nearly die OFF when his big sister
wants him to please pick upa basket
of chips for the parlor stove. And
he'll spend the biggest part OF the
day in trying to corner stray mule
or bare-backed horse for rlde,and
feel that all life's charms have fled
when it comes his time to drive the
COWS home. And he'll turn ten
acre lot upside down for ten inches
of angle worms, and wish for the
voiceless tomb when the garden de-
mands his attention. But all the
same, when you want a friend who
will stand by you, and sympathize
with you, and be true to you in all
kinds Of weather, enlist one of these
same boys.

SuperstitiOns About the
Sky.
HOW PEOPLE ARE FRIGHTENED BY
HARMLESS PHENOMENA.
Scientific Monthly.

L
Scientific Monthly.
Wherever science has not been
cultivated, all new and startling APP
pearances in the sky are regarded as
supernatural But few years since
a shower of meteoric stones fell in
India, the fall being attended with
terrific explosions. The alarmed in
habitants of the district believed
these masses of rock to have been
thrown by their deities from the
Himalaya mountains, and with tho
greatest veneration gathered up the
fragments to be kept as objects of
religious worship. Nor need we
smile at this example of recent sup
erstition In the most civilized
countries of the ancient world such
phenomena as the aurora borealiS,
total eclipses, comets and meteoric
showers, were viewed as miraculous
displays of divine power, and gener-
ally as forerunners of impending
disasters. A brief account of some
of the panics thus produced may not
be without interest.
No one who has seen the more
brilliant displays of the northern
lights-the splendid coronal arch,
the columns tinged with various
colors and moving in silent grandeur
upon the midnight sky-can wonder
that in a superstitious age their app
pearance should have so excited the
utmost consternation. Before the
eighteenth century no physical ex-
PLANTATION of such displays had been
suggested or even thought of. The
phenomena appeared suddenly and
Unexpectedly, and could not be re-
ferred to natural causes then I'M
known. The excited imagination
saw armies mastering In the sky,
brandishing their spears and raising
aloft inquick succession their bloody
lances. A very brilliant aurora seen
in England, in 1876, is described by
writer of that period, as chasm
formed in the northern sky, in
which "were seen "a great many
bright arches, out of which gradual
ly issued spears, cities with towers,
and men in battle array; after which
were excursions of rays in almost
every direction, waves Of clouds, and
battles in which some were fleeing,
ana other wheeling around in sur
prising manner" If panics of this
nature have ceased, the fact is due
to the ever advancing light of ply
steal science.

more than two hundred cases, the

its deteriorating effects, was now
added, and he became rapidly reduc-
ed to the semblance of a skeleton,
while vitality reached its lowest pos

was of such indescribable character
that those who most loved him some
times thought it would be better if
he were called away. At this time,
physicians, well-know in this city
(Pittsburg), informed his parents
that he was in imminent danger of
Paralysis, and directly afterward
they announced to his sorrowful
mother that they could give no hopes
of his recovery. AT this juncture
