THE FIRST STUDENTS OF HAIR
VARD.-Our great colleges all had
small beginnings, and some Of them
had pretty hard beginnings, as the
the following ancient reminiscence
of our first university shows:
At first, 1t was truly a school only,
and was taught by Nathaniel Eaton,
scholar of most disreputable
memory, who was discharged by the
General court for "cruel and barba-
rous beating of Mr.. Nathaniel Bris-
cOe, and for otherwise neglecting and
misusing of his scholars" a sen
tonce of the most righteous nature.
This brutal man had a rule that
" he would not give over correcting
until he had subdued the party to his
WILL" and in this exercise he used,
on one occasion at least, as Governor
Winthrop tells us, Ga cudgel which
was walnut-tree plant, big enough
to have killed horse, and a yard in
length"
But this was not all, for, although
the pupils paid him we'll for his
"diet," it was ordinarily nothing
but porrIdge and pudding, "and
that very homely ;" and his wife de-
MED them butter, cheese and beer
"betwiXt meals"
She also forced the young men to
make their beds at times.
Altogether the poor fellows had a
time dwelling with Master and Mis-
tress Eaton.

WAITING.

Serene, L fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind or tide or sea:
L rave no more 'gainst Time nor Fate,
For 10 my own shall come to me.
[ stay my haste, | make delays,
For what avails this eager pace?
| stand amid the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my face.
Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends | seek are seeking me:
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter if | stand alone?
| wait with JOY the coming wears
My hear tshall reap where it has sOwn,
And garner up its fruits of tears
The waters know their own, and draw
The brook that springs in yonder
height
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delight.
The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave unto the sea ;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high
Can keep my own away from me.
Serene, | fold my hands and wait,
Whate'er the storms Of life NAV be
Faith guides me up to heavens gate,
And love will bring my own to me.

HE MIGHT Try The following

THE " DEVIL" DID IT.-A printers
devil in Missouri newspaper Office
was doing his first experiment of
" making up the forms" of his paper.
The paper was late and the boy got
the galleys mixed. The first part of
the obituary of an impecunious citi-
zen had been dumped into the forms
and the next handful of type came
from a galley describing fire. 1t
read like this: "The pail bearers
lowered the body to the grave and 1t
was consigned to the flames. There
were few If any regrets, for the old
wreck had been an eyesore for years.
OF course there was individual loss
but that was fully covered by insur-
ance." The widow thinks the editor
wrote the obituary that way because
the lamented partner of her joys and
sorrows owed him for five years sub
scription.

BE SHORT.--Long visits, long
stories, long essays, long exhortations
and long prayers seldom profit those
who have to do with them. Life is
short. Time is short. Moments are
precious. Learn to cOndense, to
abridge and to intensity. We can
endure many an ache and i'll if it is
over soon while even pleasure grows
insipid and pain intolerable if they
are protracted beyond the limits of
reason and convenience. Learn to
be short. Lop off branches stick to
the main facts in your case. If you
pray, ask for what you believe you
will receive, and get through ; if you
speak, tell your message and hold
your peace; if you write boil down
two sentences into one, and three
words into two. Always when prac-
ticable avoid lengthiness 4; learn to
be short

1t may be imagined, without do
