...some that Professor Agassiz, since he was an uncompromising opponent of Darwinism, did not produce a work in refutation of the theory of evolution. He had arranged with the publishers of the Atlantic Monthly for a series of articles on this subject, the first of which appears in the next number. A second, fortunately, has been dictated and taken down, but not finally revised; it will probably, however, be published.

...over, and if they could only get these to pay a poll-tax, it would be so much extra money in the town treasury. The tax-bills were made out accordingly, and sent around to the students. All were surprised, and some, in their surprise, paid the bills. When next the farmers, "in town-meeting assembled," undertook to legislate for the town, they were in their turn surprised to find the hall well supplied with students, fresh from society laurels and eager to display their eloquence, who moved that a sidewalk be laid from the village to College Hill.
