Professors. Never was there such a dragging down of loftly titles as in this country.

This whole mutter of conferring degrees lias been "run into the ground" so far?if the expression is a pardonable one?that it is more a mark of distinction not to bo written 1 >. 1)., f< or IAj. ]>., than to have the common handle c, follow the name.

A man will have to be very obscure to avoid these degrees, but they a come, thick as leaves in Vallambroea. The v most abused term, however, is that of pro- S( feasor^ once honored in academic halls, and ^ meaning an instructor, oceupying a professional chair in a college or university.

His oad lay through a thick forest, and it was : lot long before a highwayman attacked and i Iraggod hiin from his horse which ran swifty homeward. Meanwhile his terrified parents sat trcinbing by the fireside, awaiting their boy's return. They were just preparing to go in >earch of him, when, when the heard the Mattering of hoofs, and soon after a loud kicking and pawing at the door. On opcung it, they saw the pony in a state of great excitement, with his saddle and bridlo dandling about liim. He ran from them a short listance, then frisked about, and seizing the hiker's coat in his teeth, pulled him along.
