Around its leaped from his chair without adjoinning | one are gathered many fond re- oiled ions of joyous hopes and earnest the court. All made a headlong rush for the door. Tables were upset, chairs were broken, lights were extinguished, masques were thrown aside, all was confusion and Uirnioil. They hurried to the stairs and plunged down. The judge stnmhlcd and fell, and he became a stumbling-block to n number of others. This was great amusement for me, and my old iron-sides almost I split with excessive laughter.” Here the stove rested mid after reflecting for a moment commenced the following:—“The Faculty once employed a tutor who wan in the habit of searching student’s pockets when anything suspected was supposed to be there contained. A Junior concluded to break the Tide of this annoying practice. Several friends were invited to taken social game of cards. He filled me with a great quantity of fuel, which kindled, created a very hot fire. A pan containing mush was lookings forward into the dim future, which have crept over tlie mind of the wayworn student, ns he has bent over the classic page of the poets of Greece and Rome, or attempted to solve the hidden mysteries of philosophy and science, Beyond the dear confines of his barely furnished room, ho has looked out into the great world ami iu reverie over his cigar, has dreamed out his “ life to come”—perhaps it was bright —perhaps it was shrouded with the mists of doubt and uncertainty. But it is not of these sunlights and shadows of student life, that we are to speak, it is of the prosperity which has of late dawned upon our own “ Old Kenyon.” When science, with never tiring step, penetrated into the western wilds of hill and forest, she reared this temple in the wilderness—she placed her chosen priests placed upon my back.

Onward ! is the watchword by which she is now guided. She no longer looks back, and takes with faltering step her advancing position, but like a queen she now sts enthroned, witn the crown of acknowledged superiority placed upon her brow by the united consent of the world. Yale and the institutions of the favored cast may look to their laurels, for there is a young giant in the west, rising in all his strength, who will take away from them their cherished greatness, and leave them nothing but the semblance of a name.

In the December No. of Ibis Monthly the Editors offer the following Prospectus:— In bringing the Second Volume of the Collisgian to a dose, the Editors take pleasure in announcing that the success which has hitherto attended its publication, and the interest which the Students generally have continued to manifest towards it, arc such warrant its immediate enlargement. Each number, therefore, commencing with that for January, 1858, will contain forty-eight, instead of thirty-two pages, making 482 pages per volume, instead ol 288 as heretofore. The subscription price will be 82.00 per volume, payable in advance. It is our intention to improve tlio Magazine not only in quantity but also iu quality of matter. The additional pages will afford room for greater variety, as well as for such articles of permanent value as have hilkerto, on account of their length, been necessarily excluded. We invite contributions on all subjects of interest to Students, and wo would especially solicit such as are local iu their character, and sprightly and humorous iu stylo.

It cannot but touch a responsive chord in every heart—a chord over which delightful symphonies dance with rest actio joy. ]t speaks in thunder tones with a voice nielliflnomdy low. It glances with meteoric splendor through the portals of the soul, lighting up each cranny with flashing RcintillatiouH of brilliancy. It causes a feeling such as passes through the organic frame when an acuted piece of materialized substance comes in close proximity with the urinative elbow’s most extended point. But to our text—and they loved. To a Hebrew scholar the word und is fraught with terrible significance. It here evidently connects O tlio text with something that has gone before. In the Syriac, Arabic, Ethiopian, Sepoy and Hottentot dialects as well as most other conjunctions, imply joining together a putting in the neighborhood, a stationing side by side, a union. Hence my bearers will evidently appreciate the applicability of the word to the present subject—an applicability which proves that the taste and scholarship of the writer arc beyond cavil. And they loved—union follows love. A remark might here be made with respect to the position of the orthograplied letters iu question. In foreign languages the most important word Is generally In the most imporani place. Now the first is such a place, hence “And,” though it implies a consequence of the next two words (following in the glorious dialect of Albi-ons historic soil the idiomatic construction of Abrahams mother’s tongue,) stands first. Let us next enquire of whom it is written. And they loved. To ascertain this with precision and certainly we must refer to the book from which onr text is taken. It will be readily conceded I think, that those are mentioned in a volume of whom that volume treats—thus if we glance into a library and find there a History of England we eoncluo that most of the remarks in that book have reference to England. Now the volume from which we have extracted a few words for this morning’s elucidation is styled Gal(l)atians and by a parity of resoldng we conclude that it treats of Gulls, lienee il this be true when wo therein discover tlio words “ they loved” we cannot but infer that Galls and they arc synonymous terms. Thirdly, allow mo to direct your attention to what is predicated of the Galls, and they loved—loved what, an incarnation of sound !—what a gal axy of letters !—a deluge of laughter in a half-born smile—an infinite sublunary and Chapel, the accidents of the bell rope pn8Sed away, and still the hopes of Kenyon her lost position. Years came and and of a complete record of all current event vault full of thunder in a whisper—seven- ami chipper, the smoking out of Freshmen and the piling of furniture in rooms. It appeared especially indignant at the perpetrators of the last-mentioned offence since, as it declared, it had leccivcd very many serious injuries in the operation. The Bourbon family too, came in for a share of mention. The old stove told of the rise mid fall of that illustrious race. It dwell lay crushed beneath the foot of destiny. Nothing seemed to he attempted for her by her friends. Her name was all she possessed. But within the past few years, like Phoenix, she has arisen from the ashes of her former greatness, to recommence the race in the history of onr Alma Mater, will be warmly seconded by those for whom we cater.
