Philosophy from “Punch.”

Mamma —Both Smythe and Robson were most attentive to Celia last night, papa. Robson’s good as gold, with the temper of an angel—like herself—and Smythe’s a heartless, selfish, dissipated young fiend.

Alma Mater has turned out some good men Young Hope-ful—Ya-as—she’s just turned me out! [He had been expelled.]
