Owing to the lack of interest which of-
late has been manifested in the welfare of
the two venerable open societies of the Col-
lege,Brolhers and Linonia, they have grud-
ually and almost imperceptibly lost much
of their pristine vigor, and at present have
but a nominal existence. Prof. Cyrus N or-
throp, in a recent speech, expressed a hope
that the time woold soon come when these
societies would receive the support they so
justly merit. Acting upon this blur, the of-
ficers of the societies, not long since, that
‘ prize debate had been arranged between the
societies; the time fixed upon was Wednes-
day, November 30th, and the place, Brothers’
Hall. ‘ The subject for discussion, “ Ought
attendance at the College Chapel to be Com-
pulsatory l" was duly announced, and an
'cqusl number of speakers hour each society
selected to engage; Elliot, '71, Hincks, ’70,
~ WI rWO‘nd-WW {Tare-presented"
Brothers, and Bliss, ’71, Sanders, ’72, Elder,
"l3 and Sellers ’74, Linonia. Three members
ofthe College Faculty acted as judges, Al-
though all the speeches were excellent and
evinced careful preparation, yet those of J.
H. Hinoks, of Bridgeport, and Whittemore,
of New York, received the lion’s share of
the prize. The victory was awarded to
Brothers. It is s noticésblc so: that the
majority-of the disputsnts took the affirms-
tive side of the question, and though by so
doing they avoided the burden of proof,
they undoubtedly fought contrary to their-
intercsts snd‘convictions, as they will readi-
ly admit, when, upon Sunday next, they
again press the straight backed and cushion-
less seats of the College Chapel. On the
whole the debate was a‘ucccss, and it is the
general desire that it be repeated at an early
date.,~ .. 4. ,
‘ At a. recent meeting of the Yale Navy it
was voted to challenge Harvard to pull it
three; mile straight-sway course many we:
ter in America, thereby rendering a contin-
‘ dance of the races at Worcester impossible.
A repetition of the incidents connected-with
the last regatta, ;it is claimed, would prei
elude. the pomibility of this popular test of
College supremacy, as, some regard it. Yale
objects to any course in which a stake best
man be, employ ed, while Harvard will have
no other. “If,” says the N. 1’. Wm,
' “Yale adheres to her resolution the College
regattas may cease,” but “it expresses o con-
viction that she will rescind her vote. ' But
the membersof the Yale university crew
have Unanimously ‘dccided Inot to pull again”
at Worcester,-'under any consideration, and
theCollego has approved of their determin-
ation. - Thus 'the matter stands'at‘ present. '
. On’Fridsy tbs cry “Heads out of North 1’"
“Heads. out of Fsmbsin i” “ Heads out of
"N. Middle 1” was-heard, 'and‘ instantly fi-om
every‘wludow‘ of the above mentioned build-
ings projected a head. “ Whats up f’I’ was

plumber, who wasI engaged'ln repairing the
water: pipes“ in N.” Middle had left his horse
and wagon in float of the building ;- now
the juniors, who saw an opportunity for s

and down in front of the College's. Soon the

the animal to. the College Chapel where,

‘es of tin horns, he was induced tomount the

the narrow doorway. , In this situatiba he
was found by his owner, who had been at-

flight of stone steps in from of that building, '
‘tractsd to'the scene by the shouts. How to
get him down was the question; for the
horse objected to attempting the descent.
At one time it seemed that the plan proposed
by the students, via: to put the horse in the
wagon and lctit roll down, must be adopt-
ed. At last, however, the animal succeeded
in backing down, and was driven off amid
ieged by some that the horse of his use will
made the ascent, doubtless mistaking our
venerable Chapel with its sombre appear-
’ auce and narrow entrances for his own sta-
ble.
' IAn itinerant pbrcnologist has been-going
the rounds of the Colleges, with the lauds-
“bumps’I' of the students and informing them
of their proper vocationsjn life, for a dollar.
On Thursday last while trying to detect the
beauties of Plutarch, so frequently spoken of
by Prof. Hadley, we heard a knock at the
door, and in that timidsound we recognized
the approach ofa “nuisance.” So, while an
antiquated specimen of a phreuologist an;
swercd a reluctant “ come in," your corres-
pondent slipped out, and so escaped, leaving
. chum to listen to a long series of splendid
achievements in phrenology and an invita-
Canto undergo an examination. His inc-
cess in that room was small, but we must
not for this reason include him among the
quacks; for elsewhere his moon) was most
signal; in cue student be detected a strong
tendency ’lowsIrdI matrimony, and prophe-
sie'd that‘he would be four times married.
That this: prophesy was implicitly relied
upon by the student there can be no doubt;
for he is reportedsince to have left College
and the city, accompanied by wife No. 1;
probably having decided that time must be’
taken into consideratiOu in in undertaking
of such anature. . ‘ YALI.

months without losing or gaining, and with
out breaking any part of its machinery or
stopping. I had come to believe it infallible
in itsjudgmeuts about the time of day, and
to consider its constitution and its anatomy
imperishable. But at last, one night, I let it
run down. I I-gxicved about it u ifit were
a recognized messenger and forerunner of
calamity. But by and by I cheered up, set
the watch by guess, end. commanded my
bodings and superstitious to depart. Next
day I stepped into the chief jeweler’s to .
set it by the exact time, and the headof the
proceeded to set it for me. Then he said.
“ She is four minutes slow—regulator wants
pushing up.” I tried to stop him—tried to
makohim understand that the watch kept
perfect tiine. . But no; alltbis-humsn cab-
bage could see was that the watch was four
minutes slow, and the regulator m be
pushed lip a little; and so, while I danced
around him in anguish and beseechcd him
to let thewatcbalone, he calmly and cruel-
ly did the shameful deed. My watch began
to gain. It gained faster and faster day by
day. Wilhin'the week it sickened lo a rag-
ing fever, and its pulse went up too hund-
' At the end of
two months it had left all the timepieces of
the townfar in the rear, and was a fraction
over thirteen days ahead of the almanac. It
was away into November enjoying the now
while the October leaves were still turning.
It hurried up house rent, bills payable, and
such things, in such a ruinous way that I .
could not abide it. I took it to: the watch-
maker to be regulated. He asked me if I
ever had it repaired. I said no, it had never
watch open, then put a small’dice-box into
his eye and peered-into its machinery. He
said it wanted cleaning and oiling, besides
regulating—come in a week. After being
cleaned and oiled and regulated, my watch
slowed down to that degree that it ticked
like a tolling ball. I began .to be left by
trains, I failed all appointments, I got to mis-
sing my dinner; my watch strung out three
day’s grace to four and let me go to protest:
I gradually drifted back into yesterday, then
day before, then into last week, and by and
by the comprehension came ‘upcn me that
all solitary and alone I was lingering along
in week before 1m, and the world was out.
of sight. I seemed to detect in m'yselfa sort
of sneaking fellow-feeling for the mummy
in the museum, and a desire to swap news
with. him. . I went to a watchmaker
‘again. He took- the watch .011 to pieces
while I waited, andtheu said the barrel was

prising lawyer, everybody courted him.—,
He had passed his twenty-eighth year in the
vain hope of find some paragon who would
'cuchain his senses, and Prove to be hisjdeal.
In the search after this yet undiscovered per-
fection, he had become weary—.- At last, one
early summer day, he found himself at Ma.
plewood, a beautiful village among the hills.
He was delighted with. its surroundings,
and resolved to remain for a. day or two at
the little Inn.
i To his amazement he found fruit for break-
fast, though it was still June. “ ’Tis like
living in Paris,” he said to himself, sipping
his oofifee. “'l'hesesira berries are the best

Fred smiled to himself, and soon forget
Miss Stainely. But some hours after, when
out for a. walk, he saw a little brown cottage
that arrested his attention by its picturesque-
ness. There was a vine-covered porch, with
the Wisteria climbing up all the corners,
and there were great double roses, full of
sweet odors, blushing beside the pretty en-
trance. .
Just then a little boy came out of the gate
with a basket of strawberries.

‘fMiss Stainely, sir," was the answer.
Fred glanced again at the strawberries.—
They looked doubly beautiful new that he
knew a young lady, and one said to be pret-
1y, had picked them. He wondered if her
fingers were fair. Then he laughed to him-
self at the folly of such an idea. _
Suddenlya voice sounded so near that it
startled him.

“Heavens! is she strong enough to wield
them f" thought Fred, with a sort of horror.
“Ah l the poor little things! how I hate to
cut them 1 But they must go,” said the
voice. And Fred noticed how caressing and
voice was: “And here’s my darling little

such tiny, moist buds! I gave it up a week
ago, and came near cutting it down; how
needed any repairing. He looked a look of glad I am Ispared it"
vicious happiness and eagerly pried the By “I" tune Fred was in agony to see
the lips from which proce ch sweet
sounds. At that inoment a gentle-faced, el-
derly woman appeared at the back door,
and said,
“Bose, dear, the sun is getting tooIhot."
“Yes, mother,” was the reply ; and a slight,
girlish figure, the-dice completely shaded by
a large garden-bat,-camc blithely forward,
sprang up the steps and vanished.
“Rose 1 What a pretty name l” mused Fred,
more interested than he had ever found him-
self before. “And such a little creature. I
hadzfancied her large and masculine in face
and figure. Pshaw! what a fool I an!!—
What is the girl to me- ‘2"
True, what was she to him i It was very
strange that her voice haunted him so. A
little country-girl who sold vegetables—he
would not think of her again. .
But the next day, almost before he knew
it, he found himself countering toward the
brown cottage. Ashe came near, there was

the “Wedding March,” his favorite! He
stopped, thunderstruck. What did it mean ?

. Presen y the music ceased.
- “She must go out and pull radlshes," said
Fred, nervously to himself. I
' Then a bright thought struck him. She
sold berries, seedlings, slips Why not sell
some to him? He would, at least, ask her.
You see, Fred was a bold fellow, and no
“faint-hearted" coward. In a moment he
was ushered into a room, which, at first
glance, he took for a habitation of the fairies.

Miss Rose Stainely came in. She WAS
neither blonds or brunette. Shehad charm-
ing large, gray eyes, under straight lashes;
and lips just large enough and sweet enough
to match the voice Fred had heard. The
man’s brain was'in a whirl. Never had he
been less self-possessed. . _
But in a moment he came to‘ his senses,
Frchhsd that rarest of all gins, personal
magnetism; his smile was sweetness itself;
and his brown eyes were fiill of expression.
He was famous for his tact. With a low
bow, he stated his-errand. .
Rose, at first, was shy. She seemed to
suspect the truth, and withdrew within her-
self. Bnt Fred, who really knew a great
deal about flowers, soon beguiled her into a
conversation'about them. Before long, Rose
was all enthusiasm. Her eyes sparkled, her
cheeks brightened, as she talked of her fa-

Now Artie did not like-this idea at all, so
atler a good cry about it, she came'iuto the
parlor where Mrs. Hammond sat, and said:
f‘Now, momma, this is toobiid; just think-
of us going away off up into the mountains
where we can’t see anything but Indians
and sagebrush. I shall die, mammal know '
I shall, ifvou take me away off up there."

‘fWell, I am not,” said no. Artie, with a.

went off to the window. 'ShéIhIad not been

Then she turned to her mother and said :
‘ momma; Charley stcy is coming
here.’ '
“Yes, just as I'cxpccwd ; you can’t think
of anything but Charley Bavey now, said
Mrs. Hammond, as she left the room.
She soon heard Artie and Charley talking I
very low together, so she began to Wonder '
what they were saying, and finally she went»
to the door to Baton. She heard Charley
say : ‘ ' *
“Yes, darling, I will come with a. buggy-

Saying this, Charley kissed her, and was I
gone.
Now, as Mrs. Hammond had been listen.
ing all the time, she heard everything Char.
ley said. So she said to herself, ironically,
“your dear little wife by this time to-monow
night. Oh, yes, we’ll see about that."
But when Artie came out, her mother was .
sitting at the table, sewing. She looked up
and asked: . -
“Well, Artie, has Charley gone I
" “Yes, mamma,”was all she said, as she leg .
the room. ,
The next day passed 03 at last, and juat
dark a buggy dr'oved up to‘the fi-out gate.
I “Now,” thought Mrs. Hammond, I'll show
them a trick that’s worth two 'of theirs." ,
so she put on Artie’s cloak and hat, and
ran down to the gate. A gentleman very
.
gallantly helpedher into the buggy, but nev-
spoke a word.
“Well,” thought she, “he's afraid to speak,
forfcar Artie's father and mother will hear
him- Ahem i”
so away they Went, and Mrs. Hammond ‘ ' I
sat there thinking whats trick she had play-
ed on Artie by running away with Charley.
Then she began to wonder if this was the
way ,he treated Artie when they went out
riding; and next, what the Doctor would .
say 1’. But what puzzled her most wad that
they were going in an opposite direction
from what she expected. So at last she
said:
“Well,

Imagine her surprise to hear the doctor’s
voice answer. ,
“What 1 Maggie, is this you P Whilst the
