The tutor was at first stupified with amazement at such effrontery, but, recovering his self possession, he blandly informed tiio student that if he could make his statement good he should , have a holiday. “Well hav’nt yon always .been in favor of the alpha-bet? asked the student. The teacher “ slope I.” For a person in embarrassed circumstances to dream that he is arrested is very fortunate, for it is a warning to him on no amount to accept a bill.
