...instrument, the marking-machine, which has recently occupied the attention of the undergraduate mind. When not required to grind minus quantities this instrument might prove tractable, even under the direction of some other than the master mind that gave it birth. Its docility, however, must first be ascertained, for, like the gentleman's irrepressible cork-leg, when once started, it might go on forever...
...lack of original material in any one of our exchanges. People of the new generation have introduced the new self-denial, - that of the fast of intellect; and were it not for events, which no one can control, and each other's business, which every one would like to control, there would not be much to remark...

I myself was present there by invitation, and was impressed by the straightforward, business-like way in which the accumulated work of the evening was disposed of. These men who manage the association do not make any money by it, nor advertise any locality through it, nor grind any axes with it. Their inspiring motive, so far as an outsider of some experience in such...
