...getting tremendously tight, and having seen my friend safely launched, let me tell you what I can about these people. There are two women I know by the window; they are talking about somebody, and if you like "feminities" you will hear something interesting from that standpoint, I am sure. One of them is a grass-widow (cause, spiritual incompatibility), and the other is a bona fide widow (cause, a few years' bad cookery with digestive powers in favor of the lady now before you). They are talking about Mrs. De Sorosis, and as I am a meek little person...
...account of you, too. Do you know that my last letter to you has got me in an awful fix. I'll never, never write to a newspaper again. Oh, how the Miscellany did give it to me, and to you, too.

We cannot exactly explain the phenomenon, but there exists, we think, a curious epidemic in some of the Western colleges-a mental malady which seems most frequently to result in the strange delusion on the part of the sufferer that he is being abused by somebody...
...course, we all know that some must be disappointed, and therefore try to bear it with equanimity. But what adds to our disappointment is a thought which is apt to suggest itself to us, however unpleasant it may be, that we are not getting fair treatment. If we were sure that every thing was square and above-board, and that we had an equal chance with every other man, we would go our way in peace, simply regretting our bad luck...
