The Yankee Fox Skin.
* ‘ Mornia’ Squire,’. said a down-caster,
giving a nod and a wink to Lyman &
Towle, as those gentlemen stood in their
one morning, ‘up and dressed’ for
hosiness.
1 How are you, sir 2’ said the merchant.
‘ Pooty well, considering the state of

“I Have Not Begum to Fight Yet.”
The above language of the gallafit and
brave Paul Jones, when the British com
mander asked if he had struck hb flag and
surrendered, arc memorable words. Al
tho’ lib deck was slippery and streaming
with the blood • of hb gallant crew, hb
ship was on fire, hb guns were nearly
every one dismounted, his colors shot away ,
and hb vessel gradually sinking, Paul
Jones with an immortal herobm, contin
ued to fight. SDo you surrender ?” shout
ed the £nglbh captain, desiring to pre
vent further bloodshed, and seeing the
colors of the 800 Homme Richard gone,
supposed the American hero wished to
surrender. Hb answer was, “ I hate not
begun to fight yeti” The scene b thus
described;—There was a lull in the con
flict for an instant, and the boldest field
hb breath as Paul Jones, covered with
blood and black with powder stains, jump
ed on a broken gun carriage, waving hb
sword, exclaimed in the never-to-be-for
gotten words, “ I have not begun to fight
yet!” And the result was the battle
changed, and in a few minutes the British
ship struck her colors, and surrendered,'
and Paul Jones, leaping from the British
vessel a conqueror and a hero. What an
admirable watchword for the battle of.life,
does the above stirring incident give to
every man. Reverse may overwhelm for
a time, despair may ask hope to strike her
flag, but planting the foot more firmly,
oeUding the back more readily to the bur
dens imposed, straining the muscles to the
utmost tension, and bracing the drooping
heart, let him who is driven to the wall,
exclaim, «I have not begun to fight yet.”
They sire words of energy, hope and ac
tion. They deserve, they will command
success. ' in the darkest hour let them
ring out and forget the past, the years
wasted and gone by, and give them as an
inaugural address of a new era. When
the misfortunes of life gather too closely
around*, let the battle cry go forth from
the thickest 'of the conflict, «I have not
to fight,” and you will find your
foes flee before the new strength imparted,
and yielding the vantage as you press for
ward in the battle strife. '
Dumfounding a Dandy.— On board
a western steamer, a live Yankee and a
dandy sat directly opposite cacli other at
the table. After the captain had paid
grace, the dandy threw himself hack on
his dignity, and called oat in a pompous
tope for the waiter. ,

[INDEPENDENT IN EVSStTBING.]
here, Flirtation, Jealoasy and
A young man named Albert 6. El
drigde, a resident of Toledo, committed
suicide by | jumping overboard from the
screw steamer Nortben Light, on her last
trip down. The circumstances of the case
are peculiar, and showto what an extent the
feelings may be wrought upon by that all
powerful sentiment love. Mr. Eldridge was
in-company with a pleasure party who had
made tne tour of Lake Superior. Among
these wasa young lady from Cleveland,
named Miss H——, daughter of a heavy
forwarding merchant in that city. To this
young lady, who was everything attractive
and interesting, the unfortunate young man
was devotedly attached. How long the
attachment had existed, or to what extent
it was reciprocated, we are not able to say
but his attentions were very assiduous du
ring the early portion of the trip. He
jived in the pure light of an undivided
love, and was most happy in being near
its object rat least so his undisguised and
open actions indicated. AH went on hap
pily until ; the return of the boat, when
she received as a passenger, a young man,
whobecamp acquainted with Miss H
and hence forth devoted himself to her.
She seems to have entered into the flirta
tion with a keen zest; so keen, in fact, that
her lover was driven into a most unmistak
able fit of the blues. He spent his time
in walking jtho upper deck with his hands
in his with his feet hang
ing over the side, and leaning over the
stern, gazing into the dark troubled wa
ters, that rivalled the commotion which
that worst of all disappointments— a love
derided—ha 4 stirred up in his own bosom.
At Mackinac the party went ashore to in
spect the Island, and wanted him to accom
pany them. He moodily refused, saying
that he wasj not wanted. His conduct at
tracted attention of everybody on board
which made his poor case worse, for no
body has syimpathy with the trouble of a
lover, except those who are bound in the
same ties, bhortly on entering upon Lake
Huron he was accosted by his mistress as
he sat by himself on the side of the boat.
She placed her hand upon his shoulder
and spoke to him in an inquiring tone.
He replied that he bad no desire to min
gle in the diversions of his companions,
but would rather die at once. She replied
kindly, desiring him not to speak so, and
requested him to come into the cabin In
stead of complying, he gave her one look,
and without a word, plunged overboard.
A scream from the lady brought the re
mainder of ihe company to her side. He
was seen to struggle for a few moments
and then to sink never to rise. With the
image of his beloved before his eyes be
sprang into the cold embrace of death
without an instant’s thought or prepara
tion. |
He was ai young man of good standing
in Toledo, and has been engaged in busi
ness there (for some years. The lady is
of one of the best families in Cleveland,
and the event excited* no little feeling.
Eyery effort was made to keep the event
still, the oflijcers of the boat reporting that
he foil overboard accidentally, but we have
the above facts from passengers who came
down on th<| boat, who were cognizant of
circnmsteneps from beginning to end.—
Detroit Free Press, July 20.

She observed that a bell rang whenever a

CHAPTER V.
Days of recreation, upon wiiich we did
not study, were alrays hailed with plea
sure. In the Spring rand .Su&mer.the
different classes would fitequently
permission to be absent'ftom the- building
for the space of a dayjmd as a matter of
course also absent from recitation. The
members of the class. thus befriended
would often take up their lihe of march
to some sequestered spelt in a distant or
neighboring wood. *■
: Sometimes they would get up a sort of
pic-nio minus ladies, and after patakingof
pies and cakes, their patriotism would be
gin to bubble up, and speeches, toasts and
responses would consume the remainder
of the dim*. In the evening they would
return, refreshed perhaps in mind hut al
most tired out in body,:
Our class once had a ‘jubilee,’ as we
called it, and the woods were made to
echo with the voice of eloquence and
queer sayings. After we had assembled
in a delightful place shaded by tall oaks
and beneath the branches of which gUshed
a spring of clear water, we partook of our
provbions which were spread out upon
the green sward before us, when toasts
were proposed by one iand agreed to be
given and responded to by all of us. Va
rious kinds were givenw“ good, bad and
indifferent”—and were responded to in
like manner, each trying to excel the other
in eloquence of style and intent upon eli
citing the loudest applause. One toast, !
remember, ran thus ;. ‘‘ The girls we left
behind ns—The lovely and innocent cap
tors of our hearts; their kisses sweeten
out lives, their embraces herflumix us;
may they, on our return, receive ns with
outstretched arms and almost smother us
with kisses.” That was a toast and it had
to be responded to, and they “vociferously
yelled for me. I .arose; not knowing how
to commence or what to say, until after a
little reflection I began ; and warming up
with the subject as I proceeded, I gave
vent to such streams of fustian eloquence
that astonished me; blowing away, I
soared aloft upon the ‘wings of thought,’
when, wishing to stop, J came down ker
ckng! When taking my seat beside an
old stump, (| was compelled to stop for
want of more to say,) T was almost stunn
ed by the deafening shouts that rent the.
air, the cause of which I did not know,
unless it was the fact of my harangue be
ing filled with nothing but pointless illu
sions, butchered metaphors and horrible
encomiums pronounced upon the female
form divine.
After we were regaled by some mpre
fanciful speechcs r we started for College,
feeling not a little like orators.
Some time after the foregoing occur
rence, one of the higher classes got per
mission to take a stroll; into the country
(for their health, of cpiirse,) on a certain
Tuesday, and we, feeling our importance,
thought that the like permission would be
granted us on the fallowing Thursday.
So we drew up a petition, signed by every
member of the class, twenty in number,
soliciting Thursday as a|day for recreation.
However, toe Faculty concluded not to
comply with our request at that time —we
concluded that we ought *1 of right
should be treated not less indulgently
than the class preceding ns. We had to
recite three times on Thursday—at eight,
eleven and four—and we therefore con
sidered it a ‘ hard dayhence our desire
to avoid ft Eighteen of our number
roomed in the building, the remaining
two in town. Two members of the class
on Thursday morning made it their busi
ness to visit toe rooms of their nlnann,at*>s
to see how many were ip ftyor of absent
ing themselves from recitation (hat day,
assigning, as a reason for dfttr meditated
absence indisposition. iThey found; that
all of their number wholroomedra Goitre
were indisposed to reoitp that day. v lie
hour of eight came. 3?wo of ouy class
mates (those who roomed lit town>) were
only members ofour oftss who made
theft npnearapee in thq recitation room.
After they had gone through into toe
fonnula of reciting, toe Professor went
down to the D&tdrs room and told him
that toe -r—- class was broken up, that
only two had been there)and that he beard
toe class had a meeting-and had resolved
Wof to mpits, but to resist the authority of
Faculty. Upon Ibis startling an
nounoemeht, the Doctor’s rage knew no
bounds. He rushed from his study, and
went directly to too room of the person
b® supposed as toe ringleader in the ‘ re
sistance.' He asked him if he intended
tp go to recitation at cloven o’clock. The
stadent told him that he thought he
woidq’nt go that day. ‘What is your
exofisof’ inquired the = Doctor. f T will
f*ve ihy excuse to the Professor to whom

excuse be not satisfactory to him he can
mark it BP in my character bill.’ ‘ You

rooms and did the same, after which he

did so; When all the others had left and
oar oUss alone tethaihed, the Doctor
looked ofer the group of sixteen Stddents
and beheld Pkter Baird, who, the day pre
vious, was sick k-bed, sitting with ua to
hear Atsdoom. The Doctor told Kith that
he was not included among those who re
sisted authority, that sickness was his ex-
absence at recitation. Peter rose
to his feet and respectfully said: “I see

classmates—-each oh'e. has ac ied for

that they have done nothing to merit ex
