Echoes Heard and shadows

Human nature is queer com.
pound. Generally there is more OF
less of jealousy mixed up with the
other ingredients, and jealousy ia
not the most pleasant thing in the
world to have around. 1t is con-
stantly cropping out and rarely waits
for an invitation. For "trifies light
as air are to the jealous confirma-
tons strong as proofs Of holy writ. y
Examples are as numerous as autumn
leaves or new winter bonnets. Oh
course you have heard of the student
who was in the habit last year OF
walking to and fro on the pavemen,
in front Of young lady's window to
see whether or not anyone else enjoy
ed the favor of her smiles. This is
evidently fact and has become 8
matter of history. Poor boy. he is
not here now, but the pavement, the
window, the young lady and the
smiles are.
have just heard of another case
which seems to SAVIOR slightly oil
jealousy. The report may or may
not be true. l myself doubt it lit
tie. My informant says that Miss
Dash had made arrangements with
the servant girl at Miss Blanks tc
report to her every time that Mr.. -
calls to see Miss Blank. / wouldn't
give the names for farm in the West
or clerkship at Washington. Won.
der if the young man has heard about
it. jealousy cuts curious capers
sometimes.
No longer ago than last week ZONE
of the boys" bethought himself O
putting on his good clothes and by
ing away to little town across tn,
| Pennsylvania line to look after {
| piece of humanity which be knew te
be over there. He had been there
before but desired very much tha
one of his chums should go with him
He was afraid to take him along
however, because he thought it nigh
not be safe. The chum had beer
there before, also). The Whittier
told me about this and surely tn,
Whittier is an honorable man. o
jealousy, thou green-eyed monster
Good heaven, the souls of all m,
tribe defend from jealousy"

Oh, can you not tell, by the eyes tina
are red,
The naughty young girl who wen
late to bed?
And by her befrizzled, dishevelet
hair,
That her very best fellow had surel,
been there?
Then come to my room next Sunda,
quite early,
While her bangs are still frizzly, be
wousled and curly,
And look DER the street through /,
window that's there,
And watch her expression as sh
combs out her hair.

Another friend is gone. The sam
cold wave that sent the Mother Hub
bard to its winter quarters has ais
driven the hammock in out of tn
weather. The happy young peopl
who erstwhile watched the risin,
moon and counted the stars in tn
Pleiades and the Dipper as thei
hammock swung loose at the spor
of the wind" have now chartered tn
parlor sofa and continue their devo
tional exercises before a blazing fire
And the young man who delighted
so much to upset the swinging wei
and scatter the blushing beauties Oh
the ground will be excused from fur
Their service till the roses come again
He can now get ready to drive hi
sleigh against stump when the frs
snow falls. 1t requires just the sam
slight Of hand to upset sleigh as i
does to upset hammock. They ar
both done on the same principle
The hammock is gone. 1t will b
mourned as friend loved and lost
Well, well, such is life in large cite
and at great universities.

My good friend, the Whittier, i
entirely discouraged. He has heart
a thing or two which he cannot a
all comprehend. Firstly: Last Sun
day night he heard some boys talk
ing about a young man whose hal
looked at 10 o'clock as though h
had been running his head into 8
brush-heap; whose eyebrows hat
wheeled about and were growing thu
wrong way, and whose general ap
pearance was that of one who tarrieG
long at - mustn't say where. HI
said it was his hat, but the Whittier
couldn't understand how a hat could
bring about such dire results. Sec
ondly: He doesn't know whether tt
believe that report about a young
lady having said that she let's a stu
dent call to see her simply because
he looks like an absent friend Of
hers. Human life has been a mystery
from the beginning. VISITOR.
