Josiah argued with me; says he: "it

Says l: "Custom makes the differ

II any thing was lacking to'sonvince
President Cleveland that his candidacy

tsrmined opposition. not only from
the rank and 6iShof Democracy. but
from many Of the most Influential
leaders Of the Democratic party. it

Of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee at Albany. N. T.. ever the at

Now that President Cleveland IS
fully aware of the political situation
in the Empire State, what action will
he take? What course will be taken
at this critical hour by the Democratic
Executives The career of President
Cleveland mp to date has been one Of
such exceptional splendor. he has been

who have once tasted of power and
adulation willingly to resign such ex-
alted position. and in all the globe
there is no loftier or more enviable po-
sition than to be the ruler of the
American republic But rs we look at
the political situation. what is the wise
and proper path for President Cleve-

An Instatution which Has shat lts door

1t Is definitely decided that Adolber

excitement The decision is unpopular
with the mass of the citizens, as we'll o!
with the young women now in the col
lege. But the alumni, most Of whom
graduated before Adelbert admitted
women. are opposed to co-education.
DR.. Haydn. the new PRESIDENTS also op'
posed; above all. few rich men are
understood to be willing to give large
sums to the college on condition that
the young women are excluded. Ac-
cordingly, the deed is done. The girls
now in college will be allowed to finish
their course, but will not recite with
the young men; and no more girls vii!
be admitted. There is some talk about
providing an annex for women in the
future; but the college has not money
enough at present to establish one.
Young women have been admitted
to Adelbert since 1884, and it is ad-
mittcd that they have taken more than
their share of the honors. The two
scholars who stand highest in this
years class are girls. Judge Upson.

that Ohio abOunded in coeducasional

PAMELA IN TOWN.

1he fair Pamela came to town,
To London town In early summer;
And up and down and round about
The beaux discussed the bright newcomer
With "Gadzooks, sir" and 'Ma'am, N
duty"
And odds my life, but It's Beauty,"
To Ranelagh went Mistress Pam,
Sweet Mistress Pam so fair and merry,
With cheek ofcream and roses blent.
With voice of lark and lip OF cherry.
Then all the beaux vow'd twas their duty
To win and wear this country Beauty.
And FIRST Frank Lovelace tried his wit,
With whispers bold and eyes still bolder;
The warmer grew his saucy fame,
Geld grew the charming IA and colder.
Twas 'Icy bosom''-"Cruel beauty"
'To love, sweet Mistress, 'tis a duty"
Then Jack Carew his arts essayed.
With hcneyed sighs and feiyned weeping.
Good laclI his billets bound the curls
That pretty Pam she wore a-sleepng.
Next day these curls had richer beauty,
So well Jacks fervor did its duty.
Then Cousin VIII came up TO view
The way Pamela ruled the fashion,;
He watched the gallants crowd about
And few into rustic passion.
Left Esquire, his mark" on divers faces,
And pinked Carew beneath his laces.
Alack! one night at Ranelagh
The pretty Sly boots fell adjusting;
And all the mettled bloods look'd round
To see what caused that tell-tala flushing.
Up steppd grizzied Poet Fellow
To dance with Pam saltarello
Then Jack and Frank and VIII resolved,
With hand on sword and cutting yianccs,
That they would lead that Graybeard forth
To livelier tunes and other dances. -.
But VINO that saw PANS eyes a-shining
With love and JOY would see her pining!
And-oons! Their wrath cool'd as they looked
That Poet stared as fierce as any!
Ee was mighty proper man,
With blade on hip and inches many
The be2ux all vow d il was their duty
To toast some newer, softer Beauty.
Sweet Pan she bridled blush'd and smiled
The wild thing loved and could but show it'll
Mayhap some day you'll see in town
Pamela and her griZzled Poet.
For sooth he taught the rogue her duty
And won her faith, her love, her beauty
