The many board ers, aroused from their peaceful slumbers by such noise as they had never heard before, and hoped never to hear hereafter, appeared on the scene iu their night robes. But presently the music hushed, the curse half muttered, died upon the breath; for behold the colossal form of Mr. Fears was seen towering from above the frightened household, who were en’vaatilig him to defend them from such outrageous treatment. The last beat ot the drum had ceased, the last echo of the cymbol had died away, as he thus addressed them: “Boys, be quiet, or else leave my house, never to return again. When suddenly, as if by unanimous consent, the “baud” began even louder than before; when these words floated soothingly over the crowd: “Andrew, my son, depart for the police.” It is astonishing, under some circumstances, what ef fect such exclamations have upon the innocent student; and the band, feeling exhausted from their effort, and thinking that cool night air and refreshing rain might soothe their minstrel spirit, immediately leave the hall before the newly invited guest arrives.

Van Westenburg, ’88, writes that he is well at home in the mild south ern clime, Anchor Hope College, Michigan. Our friend Westenburg was the former able editor-in-chief of this journal. We noticed quite an able article in one of our exchanges entitled . “ Are our Popular Amusements De moralizing,” in which the authoi discusses dancing and card playing at some length. The article con tains many excellent points. I he subject is discussed in a broad, scholarly manner.
