The presumption is that he has good reason for his confidence. I think, my young friend, that you will enjoy your visit to our State." "Then you reside there, sir?" "Oh, yes. I went out twenty years since; in fact, just after I graduated from the theological school.
"Why, why," he faltered, "but I haven't graduated!" Then the Dean slowly and clearly explained, reminding him of the tardiness and the carelessness, of the poor lessons and neglected work, of the noise and disorder, until the fellow hung his head in confusion. Then he said quickly, "But you won't tell mammy and sister, you won't write mammy, now will you?
The question is not whether I shall save the Union but that the Union shall be saved. My future and the future of my party can take care of themselves if they can't, let them die!"

In the spring an irate and long-tried father was upbraiding another only son for persistent failures at college.
"Would you wear this green silk that's grand and low, but a bit short for the last styles, or this muslin that I graduated in, and it's as long as the moral law, and I slashed out the neck but a bit plain?"
