Dr. Hooper.represented the Alumni ; and delivered an'oration remarkable for its chaste and pure classical lan guage, in which he passed so speedily from "Grave to gay; from lively to anu ecomomy hact manageci to give their sons a good education, and they were both now rising young men, with a fortune in prospect. Both beinghand some, eloquent, and fascinating, they were much adnf.ired by the ladies, and it was strange that they arrived, one at the age of twenty-eight, and the other at thirty, without selecting wives for themselves. The night of the party earner Hen ry Lawrence surveyed his mother with a critical eye as she came down stairs, handkerchief in. hand, attired for the occasion. 'Haven't you a smaller handker chief than that?' he asked, when she spread it on her lap preparatory to adjusting her dress cap in to carry, that she might not get it jammed. .1 'La, yes,- but this is the nicest,' she replied. 'I put this great piece of lace around it a purpose; why7! don't you i like it ?.' r 'It isn't genteel. Hare you got a smaller one ?' , 'La, ves ; if you say so, I'll get one of them little mites of things; but this one is more to my taste.' 'Well, we must start now, I shall be under the necessity of leaving you-for a while when you get, there, as I have to go for a young lady 'Oh, yes,' said the cheerful old moth er, 'I shan't mind staying, and look ing at the folks as they come, in ; it's natural for young folks to like,young folks,' she said to herself, as she went up stairs to get her bonnet and shawl. They walked nearly a mile ; the rooms were just lighted when -they ais rived. Henry put his.motier in charge of the lady's maid, anH wished her tp stay in the dressing-room till he came after her; and then, hiring an- expen sive carriage,, he; drove a quarter of a mile for a young lady of seventeen to whom he had offered his eseort Mrs. Lawrence sat contentedly, chatting with the waiting-maid, while the guests camo to unshawl many of whom-won dered who that queer old lady was.
