"I must set you some punishment. I shall give the butler instructions to hand you a note from me at three o'clock to-morrow." Why this comic-opera secret-society business, Dunstable wondered. Then it dawned upon him. Mr. Day wished to break up his half-holiday thoroughly.
If the lower-class Irishman or Italian, unendowed with judgment to rightly use the little knowledge he already possesses to properly interpret his own feelings or guide his own impulses has not his church with its priestly control, he will have his secret-society with its secret executive control, its bovine fury, and its senseless pertinacity, the poison-bowl and the dagger.
Their case is far worse, so far as absence from home is concerned, than that of the "club-men" of large cities; for these are often men of leisure, who, if married, at least make home one of their lounging-places, which such secret-society men do not.
'He's a secret-society man, said Edith. 'He wants me to be a Legitimist. 'Now I won't have any nonsense of that sort here, said Bruce, striking the table with his fist.

Paper and printing were too expensive for actual publication, so it was not until June, 1857, that the first real student paper appeared, with the impressive title of Peninsular Phoenix and University Gazetteer, a semi-annual four page sheet whose first page was devoted to lists of University officers and secret-society members, while its existence as a gazetteer was justified by a very few "connubial" items.
The first of these, when church people, dress neatly, are honorable, and have some upward-tending ambitions; whilst those of them that are infidels are reduced men and women to a state of ambitionless inertia and tobacco saturation if no worse. The two latter are either under religious control, or under secret-society control.
