M'Millnn, a Innu of great gravity and dignity of inannei*. In those early times it was customatfV for the students, when meeting dent, to remove tho hat from tlio V,1' it under the left arm, make a prtJK,,' and pass the compliments of Among the .studonts was Tom lMvoc, an ccccntric fellow. Ilis father was rich, and as Tom was always " flush of inonoy," the height of his ambition was to sport ;i goldheaded cane and gallant the old (Jrook professor's daughters. The term student, which he hor ) in common with the other members of the college, was a sad misnomer. Tom's mind was more deeply engrossed with backgammon, checkers, and "old hicmIj^g, thnn with his mathematics, and he was more deeply read in tl ) lore of Chesterfield, than in that of Homer and Virgil. In fact, he mis n shallow-brained, lily-handed fop, and, as may he supposed, a great, favorite with a certain class of ladies who mistake impoH.inencc for wit, and fine clothes and afiectcd manners for refinement and solid accoinpl'shnients. But to our tale. Tom was one day walk iiili viu?? ii M in't ?ii in in iiiiii \> 1111 m> 11 iuiim, John Smith, who had n Bpiec of the wag about him. <eoing the president a few paces heforc them, Tom hastily inquired? 11 Smith, what is "good-morning, sir," in Latin '{" " Ijfjn turn sfii/fu*," was the reply, without a moment's hesitation. ^Teeting the President, Tomv nfter the most approver stylo of donkoyisin, at the wine time m.itving a profound silanni, greeted him with? '' K<jo sum sfu/fv* !" "I am aware of it," responded the President, uiakitur a slight bow. This proving rather unsatisfactory, Tom posted off to the room of his friend Byles, whom he saluted wilh ? " Deacon, what is the translation of this sentence?" sum s/h//h.*?" " I nin a fool!" responded the unsophisticated " deacon." This told the whole story. As novel writers say, Tom's feelings may be more easily imagined than described. Whether the students bored him about it or not, and whether the professor's daughters ever heard of it or not, "deponent ?ayoth iK)t," but history recorcJcth that the next flat bottomed boat that went down the Ohio bore Tom as a passenger.
