Encircled By fowery wreath

And haste its own bright spring away.

And loved ones, too, are passing on,

Beneath this cold and cloudy sky.
So sweet, is then, the time 10 die.

All gay-sh glad with mirth,
Whose treasures have been sarnered here.

THIS Institution was opened for the rscep-

of the undertaking. viii extend to it that gem
erOus patronage which is the surest token Of
good will and wishes of success.
Spacious Rooms have been fitted up and fur
nished expressly for the purposes Of the School,
and with due regard TO adaptation, convent
ence, comfort and elegance. They will be
supplied by Mercantile Library, an ample va
riety Of Mercantile Stationery, and all the other
requisite conveniences for the School.
Teachers are engaged who have had mueh
experience as instructors in the best institu-
tions in the country, and their theoretical as well
as practical knowledge of syssemizsd business
transactions, has earned them a high rank as
tutors and qualified them in an eminent degres
as Professors in a Commercial College.
The Principal has, therefore, no hesitancy in
assuring business men in this city and in neigh
boring counties, that there is no longer occasion
to send pupils to Cincinnati, Cleveland or else
where for Commercial education, for they
