At the most democratic college in the country (the adjective, of course, not be- * in'.: used in a party sense;, and an institu- f tion where money com us little in the r social status of an undergraduate, the e ofiicial estimate of the expenses t.f stu- ? dents given in the new Yale university <command wide perusal.

' s:j:j:j for the thirty-seven weeks: general 1 average. s.ib'O: and very liberal. $'v0. ] These iigures emit charge for clothing, ' and arc necessarily mere approx ima t h>ns, 1 but they will impress most cf the Yale graduates as substantially correct. ' Of coarse there are striking exceptions to the Jigures printed above. We remem- ' beroneeaseof a student who went through one year at Yale on about $100. But he ' lived on a scale little above abject poverty. 1 lie had a single r-uit of clothes, and a few ' crackers with quarter of a pound of cheese J bought ;it a grocery were his ordinary 1 meal. lie had also his tuition fees re- ' mitted, and we believe got his college room < free. Another Yale graduate we recall, who h-.s since risen to a post more lucrative and responsible than perhaps any o? his college mates in the same class. He began hi:; freshman year w:tii m his pocket and worked his way through without incurring a single permanent debt. We all know what the usual result is in the case of these poor students. They go to college to make the most of an opportunity. and they almost invariably do so. To the special and peculiar honor of Yale, be it said, these academic heroes never lose at college their social equality because their coats are threadbare and their dollars few. The moral leader of one of the largest recent classcs at Yale was one who thus earned his way to a diploma ?ar.d he wasn't a man of brilliant intellectual faculties either.?New Haven News. The Beggar* of London. Perhaps the most obstinately persevering .solicitors, who accept no denial and arc stolidly insensible to rebuff, are the squalid females with a couple of children, one generally in arms, arid both, if report speak truth, in most cases hired for the day. Their stock in trade usually consists of a few faded flowers?lavender in autumn ?or half a dozen pencils: and as they invariably frequent the streets where the absence of shops deprives their victim of any possible place of refuge, a lady walking without escort, especially when carrying a bag or portmonnaie, has no chance with them. Others, somewhat more re; spectubiy attired, are provided with baskets containing an assortment of cuffs, " 4-Va. collars or knitted gioves, nccuruiug lu hju season, and lie in wait for any carriage that may chance to stop while a card or message is being delivered, accompanying the display of their wares with the never I failing professional whine. Some years ago, passing along Grosve nor street. I noticed a brougham standing ! in front of a house near Bond street, in i which sat a ladv. evidently awaiting the return of a friend who had just gone in. At the door of the carriage a stout, red faced female had taken up her post, and notwithstanding repeated refusals on the part of the occupant, persisted in thrusting hoy basket through the open window, until the lady, annoyed by her importuni* lies, sharply pulled up he glass.

Keasons for Wcatlicrcocks. Why should cocks figure on the top of steeples? Christians connect the custom with the reproach the cock once conveyed to St. Peter. But the cock used to bo placed on the tops of sacred trees long before it was transferred to church steeples, and in north Germany it still stands upon the May poles. It was partly a watchman and partly a weather prophet, and by its crowing it could disperse evil spirits and all approaching calamities. Its life was sacred in India and Persia, and Cicero speaks of the ancients regarding the killing of a cock us a crime equal in blackness to the suffocation of a father. Oui weathercocks are doubtless the survivals of the old ideas; though the solar mythologies trace all these things to the use of domestic fowls as obvious personifications of the sun, so that "the pearl which the fowl searches for in the dunghill is naught else but its own egg. and the egg of the heu in the sky is the sun itself," and "the hen of the fable and fairy tales which lays golden eggs is the mythical hen (the earth or the-sky) which gives oirtn every day to the sun." One can scarcely conceive anything more absurd, and it would he interesting to know how, on solar principles, would be explained the Tyrole.se custom of not letting a black lien live for seven years lest she should then lay an egg. out of which might issue a dragon destined to live a hundred years.? j Gentleman's Magazine. .
