...word of fraternal exhortation, - "Support" everything!

(2) Bring your lady friends to the winter meetings, and thus increase the meagre treasure of that most energetic and praiseworthy organization, the H. H. A.

The former friends of his college days now make haste to repudiate him, and their American correspondents are being duly warned of the "sham." Archibald Forbes, the vehement, who whilhom used to be so proud in his contempt of American buncombe and shams, now hangs his haughty head in humiliation of spirit, and privately pours out the vials of his wrath upon Oscar's devoted head. Poor Oscar, hard is thy fate indeed! When thou hadst thought...
