Soon after Alma came it was plain to see that" still waters run deep;" for, though apparently quiet, Alma has the very spirit of deviltry in her, and is up to her neck in all mischief that happens. One of the only two Catholics at Western Maryland. she swears that the rest of us are heathen, and don't even attempt to proselyte us, so far are we in Satan's grasp. Alma could have gotten honorable mention at commencement a few timcs-by the skin of her teeth-but she preferred not to pay the dentist's bill, and so thinks of it now as a" might have been." Her intellect is at such a high state that she even works dumb animals, inanimate objects (horses, cribs, etc.) on Deutsch and Latin.
