They come here as the graduates of other institutions for the purpose of continuing their work in some of the departments of the university.

It consists in part of an attack upon Professor Sumner's of Yale new book "what Social Classes owe to each Other," a very terse sketch of the position of the millionaires of to-day towards their more unfortunate fellows, the laborers. A very entertaining account of the unsettled state of Texas and California during the winter of 1846-47 is given in a story entitled "A Winter's Work...
