Some of the transcendent-transcendental wise-acres of “‘ YALE,” with their big bumps of marvelousness, looked exceedingly bewitched and bewizarded, when a certain report went abroad, once upon a time, concerning ‘‘ OLD YALE,” which it seems was about to pass into the hands, and under the sole jurisdiction, of a squad of ‘‘ Young Philistines,” who were stu- dents of said Institution. Many of the reports respecting this “‘ mis- chief-making move,” as it was termed, were of an alarming nature, so far as it concerned de- ceney and strict morality. Professor Brown gave a heavy sigh when he heard of more “ se- cret ie ” Professor Jones looked out of both eyes, at 8 A. M., which was an unusual ching for him before 11 o’clock in the day; and an opinion “as is an opinion,” went from his sagacious lips, that he actually believed ‘ the past deviltry had been enacted by these very same fellows,” known as “‘ Young Philistines,” There was war ahead! But there were more serious mistrusts, Pro- fessor Smith was for “‘ giving ’em fits,” while, at the same time, the verdict rendered by the a ecol-headed Higemore was plain and pointed to these young ‘‘ rebels” and ‘‘ outsiders.” He intimated as much as to say, ‘‘ go it, boys! go. i¢ while you’re young —but mind you don’t get Caught—that’s all!” The advice was plain and pointed. Of course the Professor’s request was sonnd and logical, partaking, as it did, of the ‘“Tom and Jerry ” school, The report of the organization of this ‘clique of students,” had a very sudden and unexpect- ed effect upon the minds of the ‘‘ wise and knowing ones,” as it happened to gain publicity at a critical hour—late on a Saturday after- noon, just after Parson Boo had written out ‘‘thirteenthly ” and ‘‘ lastly,” to his somnolent sermon for the morrow; Deacon Coo had sum- med up his ‘* weekly accounts,” and Ned Slu- cer’s big, brawny hands had clutched the old bell-rope, to warn the steady-going Puritans that all worldly business must be wound up for the week! Had “‘the cat been let out of the bag” at an earlier date, ere the weather- cock on old Holmes’s ‘‘ meetin’’us ” was glitter- ing in golden rays to the sun’s face (who was about putting on his. night-cap), the prayers and invocations heaped independently upon the evil-doers, would Lave been a fortnight’s \ime ip coming, and might therefore have lost much of their force and bitterness on the jour- ney. As we are obliged to write from ‘‘docu- ments,” carefully compiled, it will be necessary iv look in upon the doings, wonderments, mys- i\ifications, and all the divers and manifold yamifications of the above clique, so as to un- derstand the principles of the same, bearing in COPYRIGHTED LPLID LS Ll hhlabalallaabial tale LLL L AE Was, 1a. tPLE NS im APO ASE Td OME B ELS TF No. 98 WILLIAM STREET, olesopg dy eet I, ti “efile il | . aoe mia errs arr ~ aa = a ee -~- = * NON’T—DON’T mind that this was a ‘secret order,” aside from all other societies, ** What's the matter up at Yale?’ asked a certain jolly old Judge, of a particular friend. ‘‘ Well, Judge, I can hardly tell you with any degree of uccuracy, as the reports are so conflicting. One says that some of the ‘old heads” up there have found out who cuts up so much deviltry in town; while a second one says that a lot of boys have formed themselves into a new society, having left all the other classes, for the express purpose of raising the deuce, just when they deem it advisebie, you see, Judge, one can’t tell with any degree of exactitude,” So- eT?
