A FABLE.

THE AMBITIOUS SUB-FRESHMAN AND THE DOG.

A SUB-FRESHMAN, on his way to College, met a Junior with a Large and Handsome Dog. The Lad spoke to the Animal, and said, "Come with me, and I will buy me a new Coat and we will be happy together. "Not so," replied the Sagacious Brute. "I am an upper-class Animal, and if I accompanied You, my air would be so Awkward from shame at the company I was in, that you would be at once Recognized for the Ass that you are. Therefore, I pray you, put away Ambition." Thus saying, he left the Aspiring Innocent a Sadder, but alas! not a wiser child.

MORAL: Some People's clothes are a Dead Give-Away.
