"He was complete in feature, and in mind, With all good grace to grace a gentleman."
Owen evidently wanted to learn something of affinities so he entered Chemistry, four years ago. (We can't think of any other reason why any one would want to take it.) We suppose he will, like the rest of his fellow slaves in Chem., go back to the farm--"Sunnybrook." We could say all kinds of nice things about Owen, but space does not permit. He is as true and staunch a friend as one could ever have. Here's to you, Owen; we know you'll make good.
