...indeed a youth of my turn has a better chance to gain the affections of a lady of her character than any other: but my mind is in such an agreeable situation, that being refused would not be so fatal as to drive me to despair, as your hot-brained romantic lovers talk. Oh, Willie; how happy should I be if she consented, some years after this, to make me blest." It is almost unnecessary to say that the 'Dulcinea' did not make him happy "some years after this," as he so ardently desired; and perhaps it is equally useless...

Therefore, every attempt should be made to have the lecture room in its comfortableness in accordance with the popularity and interest of the course.

Only a few bold fellows, and they have returned with wonderful reports. Some go as far as to say that it is really hot down there, some say that it reminds them of the dark continent, and some are even more specific, and call it Africa. They have both a Plato and a Persephone down there. Great chaldrons may be seen, presumably filled with some strange liquid or concoction, to judge from the fearful...
