...relative places of A and B with the greatest regularity. Levison I' Evy succeeds to the same seat at the same "swell" table which Montairon Von Aaron, the now popular Sophomore, occupied last year; smiles as sweetly, shakes as many hands, pays the same delicate attention to influential upper-class men, and, in general, follows the lead of his successful predecessor. No sooner has Tobias Nightoil become possessed of the threadbare carpet and scanty furniture whilom the property of Bartholomew Bat, than the mantle of that man of marks descends upon him; he secludes himself in his room, sometimes...
