 Union College, at Schenectady, N. Y. This last under- 

 taking was a bit reckless, for when I arrived at Schenec- 

 tady I had only about thirty dollars, with nothing to rely 

 on except what I might pick up by the way to help me to 

 finish up my last two years in college. I had a horror of 

 being in debt, and so was on the alert for any work, no mat- 

 ter what its nature, so it was honest; by which I could 

 earn something to help carry me through.
