AN ANSWER TO A FRIEND. I've learned to know that I'm a fool, Yet no exception to the rule, Of all who think a course through college, The surest way to acquire knowledge : Of all the frauds the fraudiest, And of all frauds the abotninablest, Is a prevalent opinion That fair Wisdom's vast dominion Is bounded by Professor's skulls : some of the hollowest sounding hulls That ever capped the human kind, Are found among these "men of mind" And this I've learned at college. I've doubly found this maxim true : 'fhc winner "paddles his own canoe," And if at college you'd succeed In getting knowledge, you must heed, Nor lay your judgement "on the shelf," But keep an eye upon yourself; Or they will fill your mind with hash, Compounded of most useful trash, Which, analyzed, is Wisdom's food, Digests and does the system good, Where the mental diagnosis Is understood, and proper doses Daily are administered with care, The mind developes unaw arc Of how, or when, or by what means ; And knowledge gently intervenes Amid its labor and invites— Nay, even rouses and excites It more of IVisdorn's wealth to claim, And thus impels it to its aim, And this I've learned at collage. When these sophisticated sages Insist upon full twenty pages Of "Weber's History—Universal"— Or "Fisk's Ancient Classics" for rehearsal, In connection with a page of Greek, Or Latin which you must speak Like a Homer or a Romulus, Or else in class create a fuss:— A page or two in Elocution— Miss but a sound, a revolution Rises like a dark thunder cloud ; The Professor stamps and roars aloud, In fiendish tones that almost scare Some timid souls to realms more fair, And keeps their quaking hearts alert,— I'm pleased to add, there's no one hurt— But like an india rubber ball, Hurled forcibly against a wall, Rebounding quickly, with a crack, It justly strikes the hurler back. In Rhetoric, too, the same routine, Precisely, too, the charming scene: And in German, which we love so well, (?) Only three pages of William Tell; In Geometry and Latin Prose, Pages enough, "dear only knows :" Besides, with mental recreations Like compositions and orations ; We're burdened, too, and, seems to me That nothing but a deep ennui, Or, at least, an intricate confusion Of principles, from such profusion Of themes, can never be attained, No matter how the mind is strained. Nor is this all ; but still they hammer, With German, Greek and Latin grammar, Declension, conjugation and construction, Idioms and differences, till fell destruction Stares in the face the earnest student, Who is so modestly imprudent, And gulps at once this mingled potion, With a vague, infatuated notion That a Professor cannot err; And, rather than his wrath incur, Bows 'neath his lordship's dignity, And suffers its malignity, And this I've learned at college. "A sound mind in a sound body," They've reiterated, till like shoddy, That sound maxim, torn to shreds, Is ever ringing in our heads. "Recreation in the open air," they teach, But how to practice what they preach, I never could at all define, With this poor, narrow mind of mine ; For to our books we're so enthralled, That not a moment may be called Our own ; From morn till night, We can only study and recite ; And, whilst others rest from weary toil, We, by our burning "midnight oil," Must sit and bold our fevered heads ; And even when we reach our beds, Our minds in constant action keep, Excited and estranged from sleep, Perplexed with some wild theorem, Or trying to recall some item, Endi ngemlaut,v eoehkvotikov (nwephelkystikon) Which on the morrow must be known : And when we sleep our very dreams Are flagrant with commingled themes ; Then waking with the early dawn, And scarcely taking time to yawn, We are busy at our books again, Striving and toiling but in vain To reach the goal so much desired, By accomplishing what is required, That we may favorably pass With credit to ourselves in class Where these Solomons, grim as sharks, Sit and coin our merit marks ; Seldom offering us suggestions But educate us by their questions. And then berate us for our errors Until we think the "king of terrors" Has broken loose within our walls, Till we remember that empty bawls Whose harshness need create no fears, Proceed from 'neath protruding ears, Like those in Aesop's fable named,— The lion, then, is quickly tamed, And this I've learned at college. Some men are humble, meek and wild, And gentle as a lamb or child, When found among superiors ; Who, when placed o'er inferiors, Are tyrants of the fiercest stamp ; Their meekness soon begins to cramp, And dominant superiority Soon follows their authority ; Thus being slightly elevated, They selfishly become elated, Look with contempt on those who are Now situated as they once were, And prove their meager empty brain By thus becoming proud and vain. Their eyes bedimned with selfishness, Cannot discern the foolishness So obvious in their affectation, Neither the woeful detestation, So justly upon themselves reacted, By other minds not thus contracted. But in themselves they find a shrine, To which they bow as though divine ; And all who will not worship there With them, must their displeasure share ; And that displeasure—what a sprite It burns with unrelenting spite, And flashes with promiscuous aim,— As kicks a brute, I will not name,— And, though they strike with wondrous force, We only need regard the source ; The impulse then that urged the act Most plainly indicates the fact That men who rank with high degree Are oft not what they claim to be, And this I've learned at college. (Z IQ •C .17 0 EC C 0 1 I've learned to know what wealth is worth, Though ne'er enjoyed it. From my birth, Dame fate with countenance demure Has frowned on me, because I'm poor. I find it is a common rule, In city, country, and in school, That wealth contains the darkest vaults, Wherein to hide its owner's faults, And crimes that would the poor condemn Merely as "tricks" are charged to them : For when these knights of Croesus steal, The grave authorities conceal Their despicable "human weakness," Esconced within the Grecian sweetness Of kleptomania ;—nor even blame The gilded culprits for the same Until so gross their deeds become That justice drives tlie villians home ; Then by policy impelled, The "bloods" are finally expelled, But all is kept extremely quiet, As thou the world might suffer by it, If the truth should be disclosed And their true characters exposed. The innocent thus are made to share Their guilt, and unjustly bear The rancor which outsiders feel Who uncharitably say :—"They steal," When'er they students, faces meet, In public hall, or on the street, And this I've learned at college. i t -, 0 IN -, p 8 o G 0 7 BY A FRESHMAN, HUNTINGDON, PA., FRIDAY, APRIL 7,187 G. Hind Providence wisely ordains That some have wealth and others brains, But seldom are the two combined, - For wealth's a robber of the mind. At school this fact becomes most plain, For here these nabobs, proud and vain, Care more for broadcloth, kids and canes, Plug hats, pearl studs, and satin slippers, Fine rooms wherein to hold late suppers ; Downy and soft their morning beds,— Which correspond well with their heads,— Study more to enhance their looks, Than to comprehend what's in their books ; Apply their thoughts et the looking-glass More strictly than they do in class; Talk much about their "choice havannas," Slight at billiards, accomplished manners, The angles of their studied bows; Their mighty deeds, escapes from rows, The liberties some vile flirt allows ; Relate with pride, unblushing lewdness, Escapes from justice by their shrewdness ; And to them it seems a mystery, • How wo can relish history Or poetry, and not delight In Day's Doings or Saturday Sight.' Then, when they come to recitations, Boldly without hesitation, They read what therhave interlined, From a "pony" or an honest mind, And thus maintain their marks of merit, Which, like fortunes they inherit, Merely promotes their self conceit And renders sanity incomplete, C.l 41441 And this I've learned at college I ..., ere seldom prize The ble§sings that we realize, With the fervency that we should ; For "the Giver of every good And perfect gift," Who did create Us as well as the rich and great, Approves our worth by earthly trials, And crosses us with self denials, To strengthen us ; that we His wil l May learn to heed, love, and fulfill ; And 'tis a saying, truly wise, "Trials are blessing in disguise." The poor at school, oppressed by wants , Aro driven to their lonely haunts; Have no friends to cheer their looks, But meditation and their books ; And there within their rooms confined, Feed their souls and store their mind, Until their wan and hollow faces, (flow with Wisdom's radiant graces, Reflecting from each honest heart And intellect, atid thus impart A charm that very soon attracts Their fellowmen, and counteracts The loathed coarseness of their dress And drives rich upstarts to confess And feel no proverb truer than, "It is not wealth that makes a man," And this I'vs learned at college. I've learned to know that education IR not mere bauble and inflation Which puffs men up:—though it dilates And dignifies,—it humiliates The pure, the good and truly wise, Who, thus more clearly realize Wisdom's boundless infinity, As springing from Divinity ; And nearer thus His mighty presence Feel their own significance Fade like a mist before the sun, And yielding, say:—"Thy will be done." And this I've learned at college, And now, my friend, I've feebly tried, With facts that cannot be denied, To show you that a college course, Is but a bubble, without force, If taken injudiciously ; And, often, most perniciously But serves to dwarf a thrifty mind And renders soundest reason blind ; And plainly, too, filet some men are, Not what they seem to be by far ; And that a mind with selfish pride, Love of honor, and wealth allied, Is but the capital of a fool, Which never reaches wisdom's goal ; That he whose mind is fully bent On knowledge, and who is content To sit in some sequestered nook In sweet communion with his hook Shut in from all the world's bright glares, And burdened with unnumbered cares,: Is lie who in the end will win, Bright laurels justly due to him ; That education merely shows, How meagerly a mortal knows The vastness of Immortal thought, Which keeps him humble as it ought,— And to your question I've replied In terms which I feel satisfied Are not quite such as you expected ; Yet I hope they'll be accepted Merely as a Freshman's gleanings, Who, farther on, sees brighter gleamings ; Among the Doctors and A. M's., Who dwell in wisdom's fairest realms ; And stand aloof, like lofty trees, O'ershadowing these vain A. B's, Whose wisdom in their own conceit, Is matchless, perfect and complete; And who think a Freshman's head, Should be soft like clay or lead,• That they might mould into a shape Resembling theirs or another ape's, But with these I'll soon be done, And when my course is fully run I hope, in a more pleasing strain To let you hear from me again, On what I learned at college, fluntingdon, Pa., March 27, 1876.

The wind blew so strong and cold I could hardly push it shut, and the sleet was beating wildly on the pane ; the wind howled mournfully, and the bare trees groaning and moaning as if they suffered in the storm. "No tramps here. lam a lone woman, and I'm afraid of 'ern,"lrepeated. _ . Then the man I hadn't seen for the darkness, went away from the door— champ, champ, came through the slush, and I heard the gate creak as it always does, and then, champ, champ, came the man back again. lie knocked on the door—knocked not so hard as before—and I opened it, hot and angry. This time I saw his face ; a pale ghost of a face, with yellow-brown hair, cropped close; and he had put his hand against the door and held it open. "How far is it to the next bouse,ma'amr said he. "Three miles or more," I said. "Arid that's not a tavern ?" he con tinued. "No,: said I; "no drinks to be got there. It's Miss Mitten's, and she is as set against tramps as I am." "I don't want to drink," said the man. "You need not be afraid to let me in, ma'am. I've been wounded, and am not able to walk far; my clothes are thin, and it's bitter cold. I have been trying to get to my parents, at Greenbank, where I can rest until lam better. My money was stolen from me three days ago ; you need not be afraid to let me in ma'am ; just let me lie before your fire, and only give me a crust of bread to keep me from starving, and the Lord will bless you for it." And then he looked at me with his mild blue eyes, in a way that would have made me do it, if it hadn't been that I had seen so much of these imposters. The war was just over, and every beggar that came along said that he was a soldier, traveling home, and had been wounded and robbed. One, that I had been fool enough to help, limped away out of sight, as he thought, and then (for I was at the garret window), he shouldered his crutches and tramped it with the strongest. "No doubt your pocket is full of mon ey," said I, "and you only want a chance to rob and murder me. Go away with you !" Drucilia, that's my niece, was baking short-cakes in the kitchen. Justthen she came to the door, and motioned with her mouth to me. "Do let him stay, Aunty ;" and if I hadn't sense, I might, but I knew better than a child of sixteen. "Go away with you," I said louder than before. "I won't have this any longer." He gave a kind of a groan, and took his hand from the latch, and went champ, champ, through the frozen snow again ; and I thought him gone, when there was once, hardly with a knock at all—a faint touch like a child's now. And when I opened the door he came quite in, and stood leaning on his cane, pale as a ghost, his eyes larger than aver. "Well, of all impudence !" said I. He looked at me and said : "Ma'am I have a mother at Greenbank. I want to live to see her. I shall not if I try to go further to-night." "They all want to see their mothers," I replied; and just then it came to my mind, that I hope my son Charles, who had been a soldier—an officer he had got to be, mind you—wanted to see his, and would, soon "I have been wounded, you see," said "Don't go a showing your hurts," said "they buy them, so they told me, to go begging with now. I read the papers, I tell ye, and I'm principled—so's our der gy!nan—against giving anything, unless it is through some well organized society. Tramps are my abomination ; and for keep ing you all night, you can't expect that of decent folks—go !" Drucilla came to the door and said, '•let him stay, aunty," with her lips again ; but I took no notice. So he went, this time, and did not come back ; and I sat down by the fire and listened to the wind and sleet, and felt the cheerful warmth, smelt the baking cakes and stewing ap ples, and the tea drawing on the kitchen stove. I ought to have been comfortable, but I wasn't. Something seemed to be tugging at my heart. I gave the fire a poke, got another candle to cheer myself by, and went to knitting for my Charlie. As I went to get it, I saw something lying on the fluor, and I picked it up. It was an old tobacco pouch,, ever so much like the one I gave to Charlie, with fringe around it, and written on it in ink, "B. F. to R. II." Inside was a bit of to bacco, an old pipe, and a letter. When I spread it out I saw at the top: "My dear son." I knew that the beggar must have dropped it, and my heart gave one big thump as though it had turned into a hammer. Perhaps the story was true—and he had a mother. I shivered all over; and the fire, the candles, and the nice com fortable smell, might not have been at all ; for I was so cold and wretched. Over and over again I had to say to myself, what I lied heard my castor say so often, "Never give anything to chance beggars, my dear friends always bestow your alms ou worthy persons. througk well organized societies," before I could get a bit of comfort ; and what an old foul I was to cry, I thought, when I found my cheek wet. But I did not cry long; for as I sat there, crash and jingling came a sleigh over the road. It stopped at our gate, and I heard my Char lie's voice crying : "Hello, mother !" And out I went to the door and had him in my arms—my great, tall, hand some brown son. There he was in his uni form with his pretty shoulder straps, and as hearty as if he had never been through any hardships. He had to leave me to put his horse away, and then I had by my fire again my own dear boy. Drucilla, who had been 'up stairs, and had been crying— why, I wonder—came down in a flutter— for they are like brother and sister—and he kissed her, and she him ; then away she went to set the table, and the nice but things smoked on a cloth as white as snow. Charlie did justice to them and enjoyed the meal. But then a frightened feeling came over me, and I know I'd turned pale, for Drucilla said : "What is the matter, auntie ? I answered, "nothing," but it was this : Kind o' like the ghost of a step, going champ, champ, over the frozen snow ; kind o' like the ghost of a voice, saying, "Let me lay on the floor before your fire, and give me any kind of a crust;" kind o' like seeing some one who had a mother, dropping down on the frozen snow to die, and the pitiless peltings of the sleet and storm upon that pitiless night, freezing and starving there. That was what it was, but I put it away and only thought of Charlie. We drew up together by the fire when tea was done, and he told us things about the war I never heard before. How the soldiers suffered, and what weary marches and short rations they sometimes had. He told me how his life had been sought af ter, and he was badly wounded ; and how at the risk of his own life, a fellow-soldier saved him, and carried him, fighting his way, back to camp. "I'd never have seen you but for him," says my Charlie. "And if there is a man on earth I love, it is Bob Hadaway—the dearest, best fellow. We have shared each other's rations, and drank from the same canteen many a time, and if ever I had a brother, I couldn't think more of' him." "Why don't yon bring him home to see your mother, Charlie ?" said I. "Why, I'd love him, too, and could do anything for him—the man that saved my boy's life. Send for him, Charlie," I said. But Charlie shook his head, and covered his face with his hands. "Mother, I don't know whether Bob Hadaway is alive or dead today. While I was still in the ranks, he was taken prisoner ; and the prisons are poor places to live in, mother. I'd give my right hand to be able to do him any good. but I can find no trace of him. He has a mother, too. She lives at Green- bank—poor old lady. My dear good, no ble Bob, the preserver of my life !" When Charley finished, I saw him near ly crying. To avoid us seeing his tears, he arose and went to the mantelpiece. I did not look around until I heard a cry : "Great Heavens ! what is this ?" and I turned. Charlie bad the tobacco pouch the man had dropped in his band. "Where did this come from ?" said he. "I gave this to Bob Hadaway the day he saved me. We had not much to give, you know, and he vowed never to part with it while he lived. How did it come here, mother ?" I fell back in my chair white and cold. I soon recovered and said: "A wandering tramp left it here—never your Bob. He must have been an imposter. I would not turn away a person I want. Oh, no, no; it is another pouch, child, not that one, or he stole it. He had blue eyes, yellow hair, and wounded, he said—was going to see his mother at Greenbank. Not your Bob. Charlie stood staring at me, with clench ed hands, and replied : -It was my Bob—it was my dear old Bob, who saved my life, and you have driven him out in such a storm as this, mother—my mother to use Bob so:" "Curse me Charlie," said I, "cur-e me if you like ; I'm afraid Gal will. Three times he asked me only for a crust and a place to lie, and I drove him away. Oh. if I 11;1 , 1 known ! oh, it' I had only kriown it:" Charlie caught up his hat, with the ex clamation, "I'll find him it' he is alive. Oh, Bob, my dear friend." And then—l never saw the girl in smelt a hurry—down went Dracilla on her knees, as if she was saying her prayer', and she cried : "Thank God, I dare do it ! 0. aunt, I have been trembling with fright, not knowing what yon would say to me. I took him in the kitchen I could not bear to see him so faint and hnngry, and wounded as he was ; and I pat him in the spare chamber over the parlor." "Lord bless you." said Charlie. "Amen," said I, and In-11(i113 getting bolder, continued— "And I took him up hot short-cakes. and apple-sauce and tea; took him a can dle, and a hot brick for his feet, and told him to at and go to bed in the best chain beg, Aunt Fairfax, with the best counter. pane." After this, Charlie not being ungrate ful or poor either, helped Bob into basi ness. He g ot over his wounds at last. and grew is han dsome as a picture—and short ly after was married to Drucilla. "I'd give you anything I have, and I won't refuse you Drucilla." said I, when he asked me —telling me that he loved her since she was so kind to him, on the night I've told you of. Charlie and Bob's fair sister stood up with them ; and not many months afterward, he mar ried her, and brought her home in Dn . ' cilia's place. I don't drive beggars away as I used to, and, no doubt, I'm often imposed upon ; but thin is what I say— " Better to be imposed upon. than to be cruel to one who really needs help." I have read my Bible more of late. and know who says : "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these, ye have done it unto Me " (Educational ftpartmest. Condneted by .1. IBM AIOTtt, to Wholn OH r,rrurmi cation,. Intended for this rolnmn should N. f0h1r...-7 "Note Book Jottings." I desire to call the attention of the par ties concerned to some matters of general interest. A number of school houses in the coun ty are dame.' "unfit for use," and others are rapidly decaying and will soon be placed in the same list. Only a few of the dis tricts, in which there are worn out houses, have taken steps to replace them with new ones. It is unwise in directors to put off building until they are compelled to erect two . or three houses in one year, or even one house in each of several consecutive years. Such a course is calculated to be come burdensome to the people—especially in the poorer districts. When a house no longer furnishes com fortable accommodations to pupils. a new one should he built at once, instead of waiting until it has literally rotted down, and others in the district with it. It is also recommended that each board of directors every year assess a small build ing tax, and hold it in reserve until it is needed, so that when a house is built the entire debt need not he raised by one 95- eessment. School hou4es should be repaired as they need it. It is criminal neglect to compel children to sit day after day in a room with bad fl ,or, crevices about the windows and doors, plastering off; when a small expenditure would make the room com fortable, facilitate work and prevent such needless exposure of health. I have several times called directors' at tention to the duty of erecting a suitable privy at each school house. This has pretty generally been done. but in a few districts it is still neglected. Not one of the school houses in Clay, Dublin, Hope well, Juniata, Marklesburg, Shirleysburg or Tell districts are supplied with out buildings. Barree has nine houses with out such buildings and other districts have several houses without them. This ne glect is simply unpardonable. and we hope that if no higher incentives move them. the preservation of their own honor and the credit of their districts will influence directors to discharge the important duty Comparatively few of the school houses in the county have coal or wood houses. As a matter of economy alone it is to the interests of the districts to supply them. Sufficient coal is wasted at some schools in one year, by throwing it no the ground, without any protection. to pay fI. a trood coal house. A school rum with a lot of wood piled around the stove to dry is not very attractive, nor are such surr,undings cal culated to inspire pupils with a love for the beautiful, or teach them to observe neatness, order and system in their work. And yet in many instances teachers can do little better than have the fuel in the school room. If it is left out without any shelter it is impossible to keep the room comfortably heated. The plea that the districts are not able to make these improvements is without foundation. With a very little additional expense the comfort and convenience of pupils might be greatly increased and the money already expended for school pur poses accomplish much more. I hope that directors, the guardians of the educational interests of the people, will not allow the great amount annually expended for education to partially fail of its object, because of a neglect to attend to these matters of seemingly less importance. Starting in Life. Starting in life is a problem each should think out for himself. Hints are all that we can give ; changes will come soon enough at best. The battle is your own ; begin early to respect yourself. Choose an honest calling, with prospective pro motion, if possible, then stick to it. Read up, study hard, think carefully, keep book accounts of both income and expenses.— , Keep out of debt. Do your work well— The little difference is well paid fur. Re member the world will be your friend or enemy as you choose to make it. Be friendly if you would have friends. Men go out of their way to do business with good houses. But help the unfortunate. Fortune's favorites are the best skilled, best cultured, best hearted, best mannered men and women. Such are first promoted, best p;id, and last discharged. It pays to cultivate this zit . ' in eirly it,. Mee pay for them. Tiloy an ata premiss in trade. "Keep with the xfwwi. and you will be one of them." licading for the litiUioiL Our New York Letter.
