You think them all a sin.

But if he is an editor,

Who dabbles in belles-lettres,

And says, unto the Advocate

He wants to make you debtor,

Pray tell him with your blandest smile

You like the Crimson better.

This was considered uncomplimentary to the editors of the Advocate, and the Doctor was accordingly promptly admonished. The following letters were then read:-

GENTLEMEN,- It is with pain that I am obliged to refuse your invitation. I am anxious to avoid the appearance of making a bid for a third term, and therefore I have not appeared in public for the past two years.

U. S. GRANT.EDITORS OF THE CRIMSON, - I should be glad to dine with you, but I am obliged to stay in New York to keep an eye on Cyrus W. Field. Yours as in 1876,

SAMUEL J. TILDEN.GENTLEMEN, - Your invitation is doubtless a proof of your sincere admiration, but I would have you know that I am a Yale girl, and adverse to attention from any other quarter.

MARY ANDERSON.PUBLISHERS OF CRIMSON, - I don't go much on dinners, but if you want any help in counting in your newly elected Board, I 'm your man.

ALONZO GARCELON.YOUNG MALES, - When you admit the ladies of the Annex to your editorial board, and thereby recognize them as your equals, I shall be happy to dine with you, but not till then.

SUSAN B. ANTHONY.GENTLEMEN, - I fail to see what connection your invitation has to do with politics, or how it would in any way assist the working of the immortal machine. Therefore I must decline.

ROSCOE CONKLING.YOUNG GENTLEMEN, - I understand that Mr. Conkling has been invited to your dinner, but that Mr. Blaine has not. Permit me to say that I consider Mr. Blaine insulted. I never go where Mr. Blaine is not invited.
