HEROIC ABOLITIONISTS.
Some of the Tortures Endured by Es-

fighting abolitionist, who spent fvs
years in the Kentucky penitentiAry.
with almost daily terrible foggings on
his bare back-with anywhere from
twenty to a hundred lashes at each
fogging-and then. after being liber-
ated, went to freeing slaves again and
was kidnapped and sent back for thir-
teen years more of confinement and
iogging, recalls the many simple, he
roic deeds of that day, says the Boston
Transcript Whenever we get hold Of
an old underground railroad man we
feel ourselves in a time OF prodigious
heroism. The negroes who ran away
from slavery invited sufferings worse
than slavery. Think of the man who
had himself boxed up like corpse in
the south-in Florida. the Listener
thinks it was-and shipped to an ad-
dress in the north. He had some
scraps of food in the coffin and the
corners were loose enough to let In
little air. But the box was square at
the ends, and there was nothing to
show which was the head and which
the foot Often the negro, almost dead
with the rigid confinement, was left
lying on his face; and once stood on
his head the box being leaned UP
against the side of a freight building,
the feet end up. Very soon the man
began to suffer agony. OF course: he
felt that he would die in this position
No matter; he would not reveal him
self and go back to slavery. Any death
would be preferable to that. So he
kept still till he swooned away; and
when next he came to himself he and
his coffin were on a moving railroad
train. And he did not get out of the
box until he arrived at his destination
in Massachusetts,.

For We at our college out West boast
. hard-working constituency; but our
strong point is certainly not over-full
purses.
Notwithstanding this limitation. we
girls were bent on judicious mixture
OF missionary work with our fun this
year. Our college is established on the
co-education basis. and the boys GER
tafnly did "cut up" last Halloween
disgracefully, making it uncomfortable
for professors and students for long
time afterward. So this year. you see,
we girls made up our minds to do
something to entertain them and keep
them from indulging their mischiev-
Gus proclivities. OF course, We can't
understand where the fun comes in of
the stupid things boy students do on
Halloween, but we do want to stop
1t II we can, and that was the reason
why we made up our minds to cele-
brate 1t with a masquerade this year.
The boys were in raptures at the
idea, and set about hiring costumes for
the great event. Some of the richer
girls did the same, but as for us-well,
we had no money, and at first sight 1t
simply meant being shut out from the
whole thing.
OF course. as misery loves company,
We all met disconsolate in Loeta's
room. If any one could console us It
would be Leota but to our surprise
she did not attempt anything of the
sort She and Addie, the bright Kan
sas girl, looked as gay as robins. and
What are you going to be?" became a
mutual interchange.
We sat round the room Leota smil
ing on us from her perch on the win
dow ledge. The twins-big young wo-
men of twenty-one-cast hopeful
glances in her direction. AS they said.
1T was worse for them than for the
rest, for they were two, not one, but
had only one purse between them; the
contents Of said purse when raked fore
and aft producing only one dollar"
How could two masquerade dresses
be bought for one dollar?
Kitty Pringle, however, was worse
off still, for she laughingly produced
five cents as her all for immediate
SuIIeul COIL.
"One can hardly go far astray on FIVE
cents was her somewhat rueful re-
mark.
Kitty, like the rest of us. was work.
ing her way through college: so when
this is considered 1t will be readily un-
derstood that the time to spare for get
ting up ball costume on odds and
ends was scant enough. can tell
you, We girls who work our way
through college want education!
But to go back to Leota's room. Ad-
die. our inspiration, was not the least
put out at the empty purses displayed
before her
"Of course we shall all go to the
ball. and OF course We shall get up
dresses somehow" said she cheerily.
