A strangely Impressive Spectacle.

a strangely impressive spectacle is the
forming of the line of graduates that
marches to the commencement dinner
of an old college. First comes the grad.
uating class; then the alumni by classes
in order of seniority. Glass of 1S2O.'
cries the marshal. Perhaps there is no
response. Glass of 1921! Glass of 1922,
Glass of 1921" Presently. rs his class is
reached. the Oldest graduate present
steps ont. venerable man, perhaps the
sole representative of his year. and takes
his place amid the cheers of the specta-
tors.
Then for dozen or n score of classes,
as the marshal calls the year, one or two
or four or five old men walk by arm in
arm, supporting one another's steps.
Then, as the list gets into the forties.
come gray haired men, but vigorous, and
not yet of the lean and slippered period.
And then in larger companies the men
If middle age, and then the younger
men, and finally boisterous crowd 200
strong of lusty youth who cheer for
"'92."
A marvelously vivid panorama OF hu
man life is the commencement process
sion, from "Morituri salutamus" Mt one
end to Life let us cherish at the other.
Dull must be the spirit that is not stir
red by it. And yet it is cheering sight

Il NAME IN THE SAND.

Alone walked the ocean strand,
pearly shell was in my hand;
l stooped and wrote upon the sand
My name-the year-the day.
As onward from the spot passed,
One lingering look behind cast;
A wave came roll dark and fast,
And washed my name away.
And so, methought, twill shortly be
With every mark on earth from me;
A wave of dark Oblivion's sea
viii sweep across the place
Where | have trod the sandy shore
Of time, and been to be no more.
OF me-my day-the name bore,
To leave no track nor trace.
And yet with Him who counts the sands,
And holds the waters in his hands,
l know a lasting record stands
Inscribed against my name.
or all this mortal part has wrought,
Of all this thinking soul has thought,
And from these f1eeting moments caught
For glory or for shame.

THE HARDEST WORK OF ALL.

Few poets had more admirers among
women than Whittier had, and this
admiration frequently took personal
form. One day his sister, in her slow,
Quaker fashion, was describing these
eruptions. "Thee hast no idea" she
said, ''of the time Greenleaf spends
in trying to lose these people on the
streets. Sometimes he comes home
and says, Well, sister, l had hard
work to lose him, but / have lost
him." To this Whittier pathetic
ally added, But can never lose

An IRISH Tradition.

Nowhere does tradition flourish so
luxuriantly as in Ireland. In places
every inch of the ground has its queer
history and some quaint story attach
ed to it. For instance, not far from
Belfast there is romantic old we'll in
a curious hollow of the hills called
Barnas gap. The well is known as
Barnas well and is filed at the bottom
with white stones, the heather around
being covered with pieces of rags.
Close, too, is a large mound composed
of stones, which is said to cover the
bones of a holy friar long since dead.
Every visitor to the well appears to
make it a practice Of adding a stone
to the heap already there, but for
what reason it is impossible to say.

FROM THE ROMANS.

"Put your right foot foremost" is a
piece of advice that has been offered
to most folk, young and old, in the
course OF their lives. 1t is generally
equivalent to saying, "Now is your
chance do your very best and show
what you are capable of. Like a
great many common phrases this ex-
pressisn has an old origin In the days
of ancient Rome, when people were
usually the slaves OF some supersti-
ton or other, it was thought to be un-
lucky to cross the threshold of house
with the left foot first. Consequently
boy was placed at the door of the
mansion to remind visitors that they
must put their right foot foremost
The use of the phrase in the wider
sense soon became obvious.

BLUE STOCKINGS.

Once upon time a. particular kind
of stocking became the badge of a GER
tain learned clique. 1t was a blue
stocking, and the society that sported
it came into existence in Venice in
the year 400. Nearly two centuries
elapsed before the craze spread, but
highly infiammable nation-the
French-took it up, ind no one with
any pretensions to erudition rested
content without the Bas-bleu club
distinction. The same space of time
passed by and the fad spread to Eng
land, where blue stockings existed un-
til 1910, when, in the person of the
Countess of Cork, the last scion of an
ancient coterie expired.
This is how we get the modern ap-
pellation "blue stocking" usually
tackled on as a term OF opprobrium to
some one more learned than the gem
erality of people, especially if that
some one be young girl, and if she
be careless about her clothes and per-
sonal appearance.

Tom Garrison, the we'll known

got ashore and one of them turned to
look at her master. Tom saw her

beast approached him and he contin-
ued talking to her in a coaxing voice.
When she was within ten feet OF him
he thought of her training in plow-
ing. Whoa, Nell % he shouted
"Gee, now, gal whoa, there steady,
gal. Back up! whoa p and in an in

and shouted: "Git upr' Nell started
