FROM HEFFELVINaER's CITY.

President Cyrus Northrop was next in
troduced and began his remarks amid q
storm of cheers. After thanking the pres
ident for the warm reception he had re-
ceived at Yale he said: In the eastern COL
leges this is the age of Hercules with his
club and not of Homer and Demosthenes.
You have built temple to Hercules over
yonder, and hope the old man will be
ready with his club to punish all who neg
lect his worship there. No one of Yale's
sons during the past year has brought
more honor on his alma mater than Pro
lessor Thomas r. Lounsbury. The glory
of having written that work on Chaucer,
worthy Of Lowell, has brought wreath Of
lasting glory to Yale.
We have had pilgrimage Of college
presidents west to bring east college
students. No face could have been more
welcome than that of President Dwight.
We have had the republican convention
there, and I watched how Depew ran
things, and read of the convention at
Chicago with considerable interest, and
saw that Whitney ran it in the same way.
Whoever IL elected president, the power
behind the throne Will be Yale collepe.

the young men may forget me unless can
impress myself on their memory. What
event since the civil war sent a greater
thrill over the country than when Hef-s
felhnger made that great tackle in New
York city. Gentlemen, come from the
same city as Heffelfnger. [Applause.]
CANE BACK TO CELEBRATE.
President Dwight made q graceful allu,
sion to the victory at the Yale Held, and
introduced Judge Peters of Maine with the
remark that if he did not make good
speech he would do something which he
| had never done before. Judge Peters said:
I came here, having graduated fifty years
ago, to celebrate and have good time. l
have noticed this difference In the seniors
of to-day and half century ago,
it takes more of you to make a class.
There is one thing more in the line OF
enjoyment that would like to have, and
that is victory for Yale on Friday. be
lieve they will beat. l am ready to bet on
it. Looking at all the colleges over the
country have always looked on my alma
mater with satisfaction and delight. While
more students may 60 out from other col
jeges, more 'tnghts" 60 out from Yale.
Mr.. E. G.. Mason, member of the corpor

felt rather relieved when we stopped
to change horses. On getting back
again into the coach, / had the fell
city Of holding the young lady's muff
while she adjusted her wraps. I even
passed the cord or string attached to
it over her head as she resumed her
seat, which was more ofa favor than
had been shown Charley, in spite Of
his advantage in point of tine. Then,
growing brayer, folded her mantle
around her, that had slipped from It's
place. for which she thanked me in a
way that was enhancing.
So far, you will see, nothing very
original had been said, nor any great
advance made toward intimate &C.
quaiDtance, but it was enough to fill
me with delight, and make me forget
everything except that time was going.
Papa being safely and soundly asleep
You may depend there was no
sleep in our young eyes-we had some
very small talk among ourselves, dur
ing which, remember, she referred
to my being on my way to school,
and making me feel as young as the
respectable butler did David Copper
field. 1 took special care to say
college, with strong emphasis, and
to refer to my graduating the coming !
summer, in tone that had a strong
favor of mannishness in it.
In the mean time we were riding
fast toward the dreaded hour, and l
was wretched with the thought of
never seeing this dear girl again. For
three days we had been together, and
it was the one blessing of the old stage
coach that hours did the work of
ordinary weeks in the way of making
friends-or enemies, for I'm sure |
hated the snuffy old woman as much
as if I had known her twenty years.
And now sudden lurch of the coach
forced me into position most delight
fully close to her side, and with my
hand resting on her muff-an old
fashioned, generous muff, in which
you could lose one of the toy affairs of
present day. The contact made me
bold, and from the outside l shyly
passed my hand inside the muff, and I
can remember nothing in my after
| life that has made me so entirely
happy as when in that warm covert l
felt her little gloved hand clasp mine.
I.wished the road would lengthen out
indefinitely, that nine O'Clock could be
postponed for a week or two. The
truth is, felt like having good cry
as I whispered, in shaky voice, You
won't forget me p Yes, said some
thing much tenderer than this, but |
can not go on with my story If Mrs.
Cooper looks at me in that savage
way"

THE ORPHAN BEGGAR.
A TRUE STORY.

A little boy, an orphan too,
Whose finger ends with cold were Dine,
With pearIy drops in either eye,
Ready to start when pity's nigh,
With timid steps approached door,
(Some scanty pittance to imploreD
Whose brazen knocker smooth ana DrlSnt
Mock'd all the efforts of the wight;
His little hands its place supply'd,
And open few the portal wide.
A Clergyman of modern date,
Less fam'd for kindness than estate,
Now ey d the boy from top to toe;
And, listening to his tale of woe,
Said, "Take this crust, tits mouldy TOO,
But, still, tits good enough for you ~
The boy rcceiv'd 1t with good grace,
And turned about to quit the place.
"Stop" said the priest, ian orphan boy
Should not pursue such bad employ.
Answer me this, pray can you read?
'.Ah !no, sir, tits truth indeed"
mot read! why, then, you cannot pray!
I'll teach you; after me thus say:
Our Father who in heaven art"
t"Our Father touched his little hearth
rs he your father, then, ana mine )"
Yes, =" said the reverend divine F!
'God is the father of us all
OF rich and poor, OF great and small.
With feelings undisguised, the boy
Summed up the whole in this reply:
Were brothers-let it not be said,
You ever gave me mouldy bread.

Ignorance of Our own Land.

@hOO OA OuA o"H ANsSHNe'
AS to our scenery, we are rather
better informed and yet every year
many thousands of un-American
Americans 60 to Europe to see seem
cry infinitely inferior to our own, upon
which they have never looked. We
say there are no ruins in this country,
and cross the ocean to admire crumb-
ling piles less majestic and less inter-
esting than remain in America. We
read of famous gorges and defles
abroad, and are eager to see them ;
unknowing that in desolate corner
of the United States is the greatest
natural wonder of the world-a canon
in which all the rest of the worlds
famous gorges could be lost forever.
And not one American in ten thous-
and has ever looked upon its grandeur.
Of course, we know the Sahara, for
that is not American but you will
seek far to find any one who is famil-
lar with an American desert as abso-
lutte and as fearful. We are aware of
our giant redwoods in California
the hugest trees in the world.-but
did you ever hear of petri6ed forests
covering thousands of acresH There is
one such in the United States, and
many smaller petriied forests. Do
you know that in one territory alone
we have the ruins of over fifteen hum
dred stone cities as old as Columbus,
and many of them far older? Have
you ever heard Of towns here whose
houses are three story caves, hewn
from the solid ruck
1t seems to me that when these and
thousand other wonders are a part
of America, we, who are Americans,
should be ashamed to know absolutely
nothing of them. If such things
existed in England or Germany or
France, there would be countless
books and guides overAowiag with in.
formation about them, and we would
hasten on excursions to them, or learn
all that reading would tell us.-Chas.

BY THE BARD OF TOWER nALL.

A mothers pet, lit lie Jane,
Who was but four years old,
With azure eyes DER rosy cheeks
And curls like skeins OF gold
One morning searched tho pantry shelves
When the mother was not by.
And took with dimpled hands from one
nicely baked mince pie
Then knife in hand upon the floor,
She cody took seat,
And gave the cat and kittens each
piece OF pie to eat.
Her mother came-amaZed. she said
"WeIl, here's pretty show !"
81 couldn't help it Ma " said Jane.
" 1 love the pussy So"
The girl who couldn't help 1t grew
From feeding cats on pie
To be girl of sweet sixteen,
Delighting every eye
And then to win her youthful heart
There went suitOr bold.
She gave him both her heart and hand,
Then she her mother told.
Her mother asked why did you thus
Your hand on him bestow ;"
az couldn't help 1t, Ma" she said.
81 couldn't help 1t no."

He Owned International Hens.

The advantages which people who live
exactly on the line between two countries
have In escaping the customs and other
regulations OF both countries have often
been recounted- Probably the most pic
turesque and innocent instance OF this
kind OF evasion comes from the far west
ern town Of Nogales, which lies exactly on
the boundary between Mexico and Ari-
zona-
On the United States side of the line In
this town eggs have been rendered dear
by the new tariff upon eggs, inasmuch as
the hens OF that region are chiefly owned
on the Mexican side OF the line and fed by
the peasants on cheap Mexican grain.
Recently Maine Yankee arrived in
Nogales, with an eye to business. He was
convinced that his opportunity lay in the
high price OF eggs.
Accordingly he put up large henhouse
exactly across the boundary line. At the
American end he provided nests; and at
the other end he regularly fed his hens
with low-priced Mexican grain.
The fowls ate their grain In Mexico and
then walked across the line into the
United States to lay their eggs. The
transaction was perfectly honest, for Of
course the proprietor OF the bennery
smuggled neither grain nor eggs. But he
awaited himself OF high prices on one side
and low prices on the other.-Tombston

A Hint for Campers.

A correspondent would like to make
known the way in which he one secured
asting peace from the arch enemy OF the
camper, the mosquito. He found among
his stores piece OF gum camphor. TAX
ing piece about the size o q walnut, he
placed it on a tin plate and set fire to it.
1t burned as readily as pitch With a clear.
bright flame, and apparently no smoke,
outit acted like a charm. In two minutes
the hated ping" of the mosquitoes had
ceased, and in five minutes not one of the
formentors remained within the walls of
the tent. 1t may, however, be well to
state that while the fumes of gum cam
phor are distasteful to the mosquito, they
are not particularly beneficial TO human
beings.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
