considerable favor from the press. It
might be recalled that it was lead

platform of 1872, which was endorsed
at the polls by some million votes
But the country is not now in mood
for any radical changes. 1t has had
enough Of politics for while.

When the two soldiers arrived oppo-

brisk. sharp tone:
"By the left flank. march,"
In an instant the two men turned to
the left, and had taken several steps to-
ward the gutter before they were aware
of it. A loud laugh resulted, and the
two confused-looking defenders of the
nation increased their pace without
looking back.

THE GIRLS OF LONG AGO.

The Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity
of Hamilton College formally opened
their new Chapter House. Among the
guests was A. Minor GriswOld, 80, who
responded to the toast, "The Girl We
Left Behind U.s." in the following
strain:
Mr.. President and Brother Dekes:
The toast you have assigned me is one
that touches very tender chord in my
heart. | have always felt sorry for the
girls we left behind us. 1t seemed cruel
ut the time, but how could we help it9
Circumstances were such that we couldn't
possibly take them along-we had to
leave them behind us. / think L
promised three or four to come back for
them in the spring or early autumn, but
| was too busy for several years to at
tend to it, and after that-well, 1 WAS
afraid my wife would not like it. L met
one of the girls We left behind us in the
street to-day. That is, L thought did.
The same soft, brown eyes, the same
sweet, sunny smile.
"Is it possible" said, "that behold
Miss Sally Jonesi'
THAT was my mothers name" she
replied, 'before she was married. i am
married now, and ! have named my
baby after her"
Great heavens The girl left behind
me was grandmother
told the young lady who l was, and
she said she had often heard her mot her
speak Of me as one she used to know q
great many years ago. Then / asked
about the girls l used to know, and
what had become of them. found that
some, alas, were dead. Others, who
we're married, wished they were dead.
Some, who were widows, had lovers seek
ing for their hands. Others, not yet
widows, were seeking for divorces.
Oh, those seminary girls OF long ago
how we did regret leaving them behind
us-except one poor fellow who elOped
with one of them. He has regretted all
his life that he didn't leave her behind
with the rest OF them.
But we had to go and leave them.
Fate beckoned us on. And, in some
eases, the faculty urged us togo. Were
We to blame, then, for temporarily for
getting the debts-I mean the girls We
left behind usl Why, some Of us had
to leave our trunks
A rare collection OF girls they were,
gentlemen, as | recall them now. Tall,
willowy girls; short, plump girls; black
eyed girls that made us blue, and blue
eyed girls that we were ready to take
black eye for any time; fair complexion
cd girls, brown girls, Smith girls, girls
with auburn hair, and girls who, not be-
ing able to match their own hair in Au-
burn, were compelled to match it in
Utica or Syracuse. In fact, there was
about every kind Of girl that there is
now, except the tailor made girl, who
seems to be altogether a modern creT-
tion. Still, the latter has points in hei
favor. While the girl / so tenderly re
call possessed virtue, beauty, Intelligence
and many engaging ways, must admit
that she somehow lacked the get up-iIl
fact, she hadn't the hustle OF the girl OF
to-day.
No, brothers Of the olden times, we
must confess that in comparison with
the tailor made girl Of to-day, the CIR
we left behind us had very little left be
hind her.
Still we remember her with tenderness
and respect, and let us all Join IN

| TERRIBLE MISTAKE"

NJ. John Jones:
You are requested to draw two weeks salary,
and for reasons with which trust you are ac-
quainted. seek another position.
P.v. kyIcKER, President Drovers' Bank.
Philadelphia, Dec. Is, 1887.
How many times John Jones had read
"Reasons with which trust you are ac-
quainted.' He, the cashier of the
Drovers' Bank, dismissed for reasons
with which he was acquainted. What
did he mean! What were the reasons,
and why was he supposed to be acquaint-
ed with theml These were some of
the questions which he was putting to
himself rs he sat in his room almost
stupefied.
He did not fear inability to procure
another situation. John Jones was too
well known and had been too faithful in
his services at his bank to fear that; but
why was he dismissed?
Well, he couldn't find out until the
next day, unless, to be sure, he called
upon Mr.. Knicker at his home, and that
John couldn't do in the state of mind he
was in Just then.
The feeling of injured innocence is
not altogether unpleasant after all, and
John finally dispersed the constantly re-
curing questions, aud prepared to 60
out. He would go and see Beth, his
Beth, and together they would talk over
the matter, and he would decide what
to do.
John Jones had been sick all day. A
blind headache had begun to bother him
before he had left the bank the day be-
fore, and had grown constantly worse all
that night until when morning came he
was unable to go to his business. The
headache was forgotten now; OCCASION
ally throb of pain would make him
vince physically, but his thoughts were
too thoroughly occupied with that unac-
countable note to realize the pain.
He soon left the house and decided to
walk up Chestnut street and thence to
see Beth. He saw no one, did not even
feel the exertion of walking until he
brought up with hang against
gentleman who was going in
the opposite direction. He me.
chanically npologized and started on,
but soon did the same thing again, and
saw he was unable to think about the
present even enough to dodAe his fellow
pedestrians. He called cab and gave
the driver orders to take him to Beth's
home. Before he realized that they had
started he was aroused by the suddSe
lulling up Of the vehicle. and the mir.s
