Reminiscences of College Life.
All the time I was at College, the “ town
boys” cherished hatred towards the stu
dents. Ibis arose from various causes,
prominent among which was the intimacy
existing between the students and the la
dies. The “ town boys” hspl to stand back
when the students wanted to “ go it” with
the JodiesHence the enmity that ex
isted. x Other less important reasons plight
be given, but the one already mentioned
was sufficient to keep the spark of hatred
living. It vvould sometimes manifest it
self in furtiye glances and smothered im
precations'; sometimes, handling into
a flame, it would, lead .to personal col
lisions of not mnbh importance. Some of
the ladies would (frequently succeed in
getting a husband out of the number at
tending. College; others not quite so
lucky, would experience the
of seeing their beaux graduate and j*o off,
leaving them in a state of single blessed
ness to enjoy its disappointments" a little
longer. It truly was hazardous ou„ their
part to risk so much in-the uncertain hope
of getting one, who, in nine cases out of
ten, had left a lofed one behind him.
The students in the higher elates were
the. principal ones who made it a practice
of visiting the ladies. Those in the lower
classes believed, and I thihk correctly too,
that they should not become so familiar
with the fair sex, at least at College ,where
they would very likely he tempted to visit
.them often to the neglect of their studies,
pence, when vacation would come,'and
deairing to makc the most of their time
white books were: thrown aside, they would
make some awkward blunders in the pre
sence Of ladies. When Speaking to them,
they would sometimes Bay,,' { ‘Tes sir’' and
“No sir;” l( Good morn
ing, sir/’ etc., when •no gentleman was
.present.
At the commencement of each session,
there were’some rich, rare and racy expe
riences related. .Some had been beauti
fully jilted; others had.been captivated
hy a pair of eyes.j a few had .plight
ed their'hearts. I remember of a student
onetftcdling me that he had <f popped * the
que^ron ,> to one 'of < Eve's fair daughters
vacation, and nqvr he had a
notiqni to hapk dutj for,ho took a second
thongto. q i haye yeiqs to stay
jie, Pand' that’ is too long
to wait/' : I inquired if he thpiig£t
she would wait solong. pe said he didn’t
ask her. 1 told. him that I thought she
wouldn’t wait so long upop him since he
nPuiifested such ignorance in the matter.
I knownobwhat he made out of the affairj
: pother stuident told me one time
hqw ne hecanie enamored of a young lady.
It was ho secret, for he told others. J
wijl give it in his own language as near as
I can remember :
* ’ <
“ I happened at a beautiful little village
in which I wished to stop a week or'two.
At the house where I remained was an
accomplished lady of great personal attrac
tions. She. was communicative and ex
ceedingly interesting, and was very fond
of regaling my ears with music from her
piano ; and I became particularly fond of
standing or sitting by Her side listening tp
her sweet voice as it swelled in beautiful
symphonies among the notes of the in
strument. Two pieces of music she
played more than any others, “ became,”
she said,“,they were,, favorites of mine.”
I began to think I loved her, but did’nt
tell her so—-perhaps she knew it at any

rijpre beautiful because Maggie was there,
I - left for college. I' kissed her as we
parted, and I think I feel that kiss ting
ling in my heart now; ' Site asked me in
a subdued voice to write,' informing her of
iny arrival at college; I said I would, and
I did so, besides telling her a good deal
more than she asked, t I can safely tell
~yo U'that thoughts of ; her have frequently
interrupted my studiesj| and if she were
haiidy to college, they would certainly be
interrupted much more. Xdid not plight
my heart, hut only one thing prevented
me from doing so, I had s not finished my
studies. If she is single two years
hence, I will offer my hand and my heart
too.” 1 -
A new student once : , came to college
and entered our class who bid fair to ex
cel. Each,one looked: to his own laurels,
lest the stranger should, outstrip him in
learning and carry off the palm. He pro
gressed rapidly in every study he under
took, until he became acquainted with a
lady in town, when, from that time for
ward, a great change for: the worse was
clearly visible in his recitations. At night,
after the rooms had been visited, he would
lock his door and stdal out of the building,
start for town and spend the greater part
of the night with his flame. In studying
his lessons;, he would often look from his
dock and, after apparently revolving some
thing in bis mind, would break out in
ejaculations in praise of his “ ladyc love.”
Thus he continued until he promised to
marry her when he resolved, in order to
shorten his stay at college, to take a par
tial course. I could ! give a number of
similar instances, showing the influence
which females have upon certain persons
at college—persons not able to bear up
against the facinations of the opposite sex,
but who yield to the soft pressure of a
delicate hand, or who mistake a smile for
a declaration of love, hut I forbear.
The following beautiful essay, publish
ed by the St. Louis Republican, as read
by a young lady at the' St. Louis High
School, is inspired by a lively fancy. It
will remind the reader 1 of the sketch in
Shirley, “ When the morning stars sang
together,’’ and of Blanco White’s splen
did sonnet, “ Mysterious Night:”
“ In the beginning,” deeper than Egyp
tian darkness was that) which enveloped
the earth.
No twinkling star relieved the solemn
.blackness of the sky, nor tiny ray from
the fire-fly’s feeble lamp enlivened the
chaos; but all was silent, heavy darkness.
Around the throne ,of . the mighty God
was collected all light, which there shone
with illimitable splendor-
At last the omnipotent voice of the
Creator pronounced the (words, u Let there
be light,’* and from the! throne there is
sued a yast,flood of glowing radiance which
descended,on the swift wings of morning
to illume the earth.
Then arose a -,mighty shbut of joy from
the assembled host of leaven, and '‘God
said, ‘lt is good,’ ” j i
Darkness drew her sotnbre mantle around
her, and fled affrighted to the secret cav
erns of the earth. t :
The light danced merrily on the spark
ling waves, and penetrated the deep ocean.
Softly it called the hidden' .verdure from
the cold bosom.of the earth, and joyfully
it was obeyed. i ■ * ;
The merry insect spoked on its wing,
and life was throughout the regions' of the
earth. ■ ,-jM

An Essay.
“ LET THERE BE -LIGHT.”
[iNDEPENpENT IN EVERYTHING.]
ringlets of his hair, and thejseven colors,
united in a beautiful combination left,
their snowy impress on his'noble brow.
Then God, the. maker, pronounced in
loving tones those thrilling 1 words, “ Let
there be light,” and living IjghMrom the
Divine Spirit illuminated man’s frame,
and he became an immortal being.
He looked at the earth jand saw the
springing flowers and the creeping reptiles.
He gSzcd about him and beheld the vast
ocean swelling and dashing*, and the tall
forest trees covering the earth for many
miles, and affording shade to!the innumer
able animals that dwelt in peace and har
mony. He raised his eyes to the heaven
ly vault studded with stars, and strove in
vain to penetrate the mysterious curtain.
The man reasoned : “ Whoi could be the
author of these wondrous things ?” And
a mighty voice replied, “ It is I —the First
and the Last.” And knap worshipped the
great “ I am,” for he felt that He was his
maker.
But soon the clouds obscured the light;
the tempter came with his insinuating
wiles, and man forgot his God.
■ Then came Death, the King of Dark
ness, to take the place of the lost Light.
But God was merciful, and sent the glo
rious Suu of Righteousness to drive dark
ness away forever. j
■ The heavenly decree “ let there be light,”
has been issued every time a new soul is
born into the kingdom of Christ, and
whenever the light of intelligence beams
upon the- soul; though often in mercy the
Good Father’s voicq remained silent, and
the weeping friends, and the heart broken
mother lament the birth of an idiot child,
for those blessed words have not yet been
spoken ; but they are spokep when
;T ' 'I-
‘The soul, freed from its cumbrous prison of city,
Greets the eternal mom of a heavenly day.’
At last, when “ the earth is consumed
by fire, and the earth passes away with a
gfeat noise,” the light will return to Heav
en, and shine with renewed splendor
around the “Great White Throne.”
There for an “eternity will it shine, re
flected on the pure and happy faces of the
blest.
Singular Hare Hunt.
A few days since, says the Petersburg
Democrat, as Mr. Charles Warner, of this
city, was going a short distance in the coun
try on foot to visit u friend, he observed
a bare in the road, just beyond the bridge
which crosses Lieutenant iluu, in the
rear of the heights, that appeared to be
listening and looking back for something
which pursued it. He §tood still, and
hearing no dog, was curious to discover
the cause of its alarm, when, to his sur
prise, lie discovered the object of it to
be a small brown animal, which he took to
bo a weaeel, and which hunted the.foosteps
of the hare with the utmost precision.
Mr. Warner wishing to know if so dimin
utive an animal could cope successfully
with the speed of the hare, retreated to a
bush near by, where he was an attentive
observer of the hunt for nearly two hours,
during which time he is ccrtain he saw

for several minutes, but the hare, still urn
willing to leave the place where it was
found, came round again), and with the
little enemy sometimes elope at its heels.
Toward the epd of the remarkable chase,
which became uncominonly|intercBting, the
hare took advantage of the thickest covert
that the place afforded, and; made use of all
her cunning to escape, but without effect;
until at length wearied out by the perse
verance of her pursuer, it was heard to cry
for some time. At last, the cries coming
from onepoint, he concluded it bad become
the victim of the chase, ajnd went to the
spot, whore her found the hare quite dead,
and the weazel so intently fast on its neck
as not to" observe his approach, and .which
became a victim to his care.

A Thrilling Adventure.
We question whether, in the history of
‘ hairbreadth’ escapes, a. parallel to the fol
lowing can easily be found. The story
was told us by an old and valued friend,
now residing in the country near this city,
out whose early days were spent near the
tragic adventure here recorded. .
We give the story as related to us, in
the words of the hero ?
‘ It Was about the year 1505 that I set
tled in near the fall of the Ken
awa. The country at that time waa an
unbroken, wilderness. But few settlements
had been then made by the whites, and
they were so far apart as to render vain
all hopes of assistance in case of aiTattack
from hostile Indians —numbers of whom
still infested the neighborhood.
‘ I lived there alone with my wi|e for
several months unmolested, and by dint
of perseverance, being then young and
hardy, had succeeded in making quite a
large clearing in the forest, which I bad
planted with corn, and which promised an
abundant yield.
‘One morning after we had despatched
our humble meal, and I had just prepared
to venture forth upon'my regular routine
of labor my attention was arrested by the
tinkling of a cowbell in the corn-field-.
‘ There,’ said my wife, ‘ the cow is 1b
the corn-field.’
‘ But the ear of the back-woodsman be
come?. by education, very acute, especial
ly so from the fact that his safety often
depends upon the nic4 cultivation of that
sense. I was not so easily deceived. I
listened —the sound was repeated. ‘ That,
said I, in the reply to the remark of my
wife, ‘ was not the tinkle of a bell upon
the neck of a cow. It is a decoy from
some Indian who desires to draw me intq
ambush.’ ' . . !
‘ Believing this to be the case, I took;
down-my old musket, (I had no rifle,) andj
seeing that it was properly loaded, I stole!
cautiously around the field towards the
point from which the sound seemed tci
proceed. As I had suspected, there in al
cluster of bushes, crouched an Indian!
waiting for me to appear in answer to his(
decoy-bell, that he might send the fatal
bullet to my heart. I approached,, with-'
out discovering myself to him, until with
in shooting distance, then raised my piece
and fired. The bullet sped true to its
mark, and the Indian fell dead.
‘ Not knowing but he might be accom
panied by others, I returned with all speed
to the cabin, and having firmly barricaded
the door, I watched all day from the bore
holes in. anticipation of an attack from the
companions of the Indian 1 had killed.—
To add to the danger and seeming hope
lessness of my situation, I discovered that
I had but one charge of powder left. . I
could but make one shot, and then, if at
tacked by numbers, I should he.eutirely
in their power. Determined to do the
best with what I bad, I poured out the
last charge of powder and put it into my!
musket and then waited for the approach
of night, feeling confident of an attack.—
Night came at last. A beautiful moon-1;
light night it was too, and this fuvoredme
greatly, as I would thereby bo able to ob-;
serve the movements of the enemy os: they
approached my lt Iwas some two
hours after nightfall, and as yet 1 had’
neither heard nor seen a sign of the In
dians, when suddenly I was startled by the
baying of my dog at the stable. I knhw<
that the Indians, were coining. Thesta-;
hie stood a little toy the west of the cabin,:
and between the two was; a patch of deal*
ground* upon which the light of the full
moon fell unobstructed. Judging from;
the noise at the stable that they would ad
vance from that direction, I posted my
self at the port-hole on., that side of the
cabin.. :
‘ 1 had previously placed my wife on
the cross-pole in the chimney, so that,, in
case our enemies effected an entrance into
the cabin, she might climb out through
the low chimney and effact J>cr escape.—-
entertained no hope j hut|
determined not to fie token alive, I resolf
ved to sell my life dearly. J j
_ 1 With breathless anxiety I watched at
ithe port-hole At length I saw them
emerge from the shadow of the stable and
advance across the vacant ground '’towards
my cabin - Heav
ens 1 ; six stalwart Indians, armed id the
pd urged op by the hppeof reyengd,
and I alone to oppose them, wfth one charge
of powder. . My case was desperate! indeed!
With quick yot steklthy step, in close sin

withiii few yards -of th& house, when a
slight change in the movement of the for
