His raven hair, sparkling eyes — black as a berry that grows on Ihe thorn movements make a combinahon of attractions that damsels cannot resist. He goes to the Sem- inary for further study. (24)

Certainly the heart of Ihis lad from the slate of Cole Blease is loo big for his body. This big-heartedness has won for him Ihe hearty esteem of all those who know him. There is no man in the student body better l.ked by his friends. John IS graduating at an earlv age. a testi- monial of his ability. He intencSs to become a lawyer in the due course of lime. We rather ihink. though, that his future lies in his marriage lo some rich beauty and a consequent life of ease and indolence, so suited to his nature. Speaking of imagination, what do you think of the imag- ination of that girl who described the subject of this sketch as a man of pointed features ? Judge from portrait. (25)
