A Boys Battlo for Lite.

While Captain Johnson, OF Cllnch coun-
ty, Georgia, was helping purity or twenty.
flve or thirty men haul for trout In mill
pond tho other day, his little son, Joseph,
had most thrilling experience. Mastor
Joseph carried bag, or corn sack, IN
which to deposit tho fish when caught.
When loaded with as many as he could
carry, he would take them OUT and make a
deposit aud return for more. 1u making
one Of theso trips while wading through
water a5oat three .eet deep some distance
IRON, the fishermen, q monster alligator,
said to be OF unusual size, rose suddenly
right at the boy and selzed him by the
thigh. A desperate struggle .ensucd-the
boy battled for his life ana the alligator for
his prey. 1t 80 happened that the bag,
which hung by tue boys side, was caught
In tho alligAtor's mouth With the thlgn,
and it proved sort of shleld-lessonlng
greatly the lucislons n.ade by the bruto's
teeth, and thus, perhaps, preventing a
shock to his nervous syEtem which might
have made HIM succumb without lne
struggle which saved him his life. BY al
etforL-One OF thu3e superhuman effort ts
which come TO men when only facing
death-the boy tore his bleeding hcsn
from the alllgator's jaws. The monster
grlmly held 10 the suck a moment with
the dcusion, perhaps, That he still had his
prey, aifording the boy an opportunity to
escape.
He had hardly extricated himself from
the jaws OF death before the tisnermen,
alarmed by the struggle, were at hand. and
another battle eusued. Thirty men. armed
with gigs, poles. puckct knives, and such
O.her instruments OF war as were near a.

Collage AthIe6ics,

1t may be well for some of the critics
who denounce the policy of encourag
ing athletic sports in colleges; who
charge to the debit of this policy many
evils that fairly belong there, and somt
that do not; who find iii these sports
nothing but a wretched imitation oi
the habits of English collegians-it may
be well for some Of them o.play the
good fellow, and come and see some oi
our matches And not only the
matches. but the daily outpouring ol
the students into the green fields. where
they can breathe the pure air of outdoors,
and for the moment forget their books.
and with joyous excitement obtain that
bodily exercise which all need, but many
neglect. 1t would be well for those
who crittcise TO remember that ft
achieve distinction in any OF these sports
is not consistent with a life of debauch-
cry. or irregular habits of any sort, but
that the mem sars of teams and crews
who enter upon course OF training
voluntarily adopt methodical habits Oh
life. content themselves with a single
diet, abandon all forms of indulgence
which are condemned by sanitary au-
thorities, keep early hours, and in gen
eral conform their lives TO just the
model that would be selected for them
bv their well-wishers. Nor do the hours
adopted for their daily exercise neces-
sarily interfere with the maintenance OF
Il good standard of scholarship.
The daily routine work of the gym
n4sium is in itself a bore, which Wonld
soon drop into desuetade were it not for
the championship of the great numbers
interested in athletics, whose bnoyant
health and overflowing spirits relieve
the haur of its tedium, and convert
task into n pleasure.
Ii we admit as We must, that there
are men who oyerdo the thing. whose
ambition does not rise beyond place
in the University crew; that the con-
tests stimulate n tendency to back up
the college by betting; that the expen-
ses OF the various teams have to be paid
by somebody. and tlrat subscription pa
pers are passed around for the purpose
of raising such funds; that the travelling
about to play matches during term time
iaterferes with the studies of those on
the teams, and that the games ought tC
be so arranged as to prevent this-if we
admit all this, still the weight of these
charges is partially offset by the stimu-
lus which these games give to the great
health-giving system OF athletics, which
keeps our young men boys for year or
two longer, and will lengthen the lives
of many of them by decade.
The young man whose sole ambition
it is to row in the University crew, and
who devotes his attention to this at the
expense of his studies. would probably
come to college if there were no crew,
and his ambition would then be satisfied
with some similar standard. Ii he gains
nothing else. the nut-brown skin. the
deep layers of muscles on the chest and
back and arm. are better than the pallid
complexion and flaccid muscles which
would come from late. hours spent over
the card table, in drinking and smok
