His Order.

A speaker who has planned an address for a multitude, and finds him self confronted with but a single auditor, sometimes fails to readjust his remarks, and the result is apt to he ludicrous. A little story illustrative of this point is told in conneowith a former president of the Cotversity of North Carolina. . Om day, as this dignified and

stately personage was walking about the campus, be observed an unlawful assemblage of students at some little distance. He did not hasten his steps, but proceeded slowly toward them with his head down and his eyes apparently bent in contemplation of his own boots. When this leisurely proceding had brought him to the spot where the students had been gathered, only one young man remained, the others having precipitately departed. The president raised his head and surveyed the solitary culprit with apparent severity, although the young man always contended that he detected a twinkle in his keen eyes. “Sir," said the president in a commanding tone, “instantly disperse to your several places of abode!” Difficult though the feat required certainly was, the young man executed to the best of his ability by “dispersing” without further delay.
