OF my young days at college.

About the topics OF the day,

Had burst some mothers heart in two
By ''slopingn with h.r daughter.
About a naughty burglar-he
had stolen from some poor old "shc''-
Which really much distressed me;
And that a mission soon would start
Their labor in some foreign part;
That did not interest me.
About a child; her age was five;
Who weighed a ton; was still alive:
Which seemed to me prodigious.

For begging him to mend his life:
He called himself religious.

THE GREAT HEsPER.
BY A BARRETT.

f feu.ir The prospect of sleeping once more in
p pnS good bed broughtus to our feet at onces
enu Miss Lascelles. undaunted by the first
ssslrebuiT, had got Lola's hand in hers. and
IL was talking in n low, eniearing tone to
: her. The Kid snatched her hand away,
started to her feet, and came to my side,
seeing we We're about to go.
"a little cuss," said the Judge; "you
must excuse her. Miss. Her mother was
q greaser, and She's never had any kind
ness shown her, except by Gentleman
Thorne. A lick with the strap is what
h understands best. No. Miss" he add
ed, when Miss Lascelles offered to take
Lola to her room; leave her to me.
There amt nothing but disappointment
n vexation of spirit to be got outer the
%ungrateful little varmint."
The room given to the Kid was the
prettiest imaginable, with hangings of
white lace over blue silk, and everywhere
the eye was pleased with some pretty
evidence of care and taste. The bed was
suggestive of c~oziness II fresh virgin
purity at the same time. j might have
taxed my ingenuity in vain to have in
vented such Il room i'll the stories I have
told to Lola. We left the Kid there,
leaning against the wall, her unfathom-
able eyes looking around her in sullen
curiosity.
In the morning the room was found
empty, the bed untouched, the foor GOV.
cred with shreds of the clothing Miss
Jasceiles had laid out for Lola's use, and
which, undoubtedly, the little savage
had torn up.
Poor little Lola! She and 1 had al
ways been the best of friends, except
when u question of cooking or washing
occurred to trouble us. She would Weld
to my persuasion when nothing else
would bend her stubborn spirits. She
feared my silent reproach more than tho
scathing sarcasm Var Hoeck treated her
with, or the heavy hand of her father.
She respected no one but me, probably
because | alone respected her feelings.
Had foreseen that night the course
She was about to take, l might, with a
little patient persuasion. have brought
her TO reason. My spirit is Weighed
down with regret when | think how per
haps a dozen words from meat that time
would have turned aside the fearful con.
sequences of that act-an act so slight,
yet followed by terror upon terror, by
crime upon crime,
