Stories OF the Proctor.

A certain ungraduate, who held an
open scholarship at a Woodworking
college, and for whom brilliant career
was predicted, had the misfortune to
be detected in billiard room after 8
o'clock at night. Now it happened
that the proctor knew his captive as
student of great promise, and was un-
willing to subject him to the degrade
ton of fine; on the other hand, he
could not consent to defraud the uni
versity. After few minutes refec-
ton delicate compromise suggested
itself. He conversed affably for some
time, and then inquired, with much APP
parent interest:
"By the way, Mr.. Princeps, have
you subscribed to the Charity Organ
ization Society?"
"No, have not"
well, let me recommend you to do
so. / am member of the committee,
and shall be happy to receive your sub
scription at once, If it Is convenient to
you"
MAY ask what is the usual dona-
iton ?"
"Ten shillings-I am much obliged
to you. Good-morning Mr.. Princeps."
The other legend runs as follows:
A famous young orator was returning
one night from the Union Debating
Society, and solacing himself with
pipe on his way home. Meeting proc
tor within few yards of the union,
and suspecting that incorporating
zeal had led his foe to lie in ambush
till the close of the debate-an unpar-
donable atrocity in the eyes of under
graduates-he determined to be even
with him. So, having given up his
name and college, and made the usual
appointment, he spent the rest of the
evening in making a round of the pub
lie houses, and returned to his room
with his pockets nearly bursting, and a
smile of triumph on his brow.
Next morning he called upon his
captor, bearing in his hand fat calico
bag tied up with red tape.
"Mr. Spouter, think?"
Spouter bows assent.
"Ahl you we're smoking in the corn
market last night, Mr.. Spouter. Unjust
trouble you for ten shillings.
Spouter unties his bag and out rushes
torrent of halfpence.
will you oblige me by counting
them, sir? can only make $780,"
Spouter left Oxford next morning,
and did not return till the following
term. CdsselPs Magazine.
