looked pleased; but he never said ex-
PEELED to us again after all our thanks
and cheers. 1t did not take long
however for us to play out all such
stupidity, and then there were such
lots of boys always ready to make fun
of those poor old fellows, that we got
disgusted and turned our entire atten-
ton TO the surrounding country. We
delighted in capturing geese, making
raids upon the turkeys and imVison-
ing innocent sheep in the chapel We
were terror to poultry, and Quarter
master for the whole class. The
chickens came TO know our whistle,
and fed incontinontly at our approach,
and the farmers used TO supply us
with apples and peaches for fear we
should commit petit larceny. Under
such very auspicious circumstances,
how could we help being highly edu-
Gated. The four years devoted to the
chickens and professors will always be
a bright spot in our memory-an oasis
in the desert ofthe past.
We took our degree mildly, and are
proud of it. 1t was not the result of
any hard fought battle, any wasting
of midnight oil but the tribute paid
to genius, We say it meekly, and know
it to be true, for during four years we
never had a lesson, and never should
have had I'M four and twenty years
thereafter. But we have had many
lessons since, taught us by the rough
world and rougher natives, and moth
ing books can teach are half so valu-
able, though for ten thousand such no
college of respectable standing ever
has granted degrees and probably
never will.

THE OLD FARM HOUSE.

AT the foot of the hill near the old red mill,
In quiet, shady spot,
Just peepmg through, half hid from view,
Stands "a little moss-grown cot;
And straying through ut an open door,
The sunbeams play on the sanded floor.
The easy chair, all patched with care,
Is placed by the old hearth stone;
With witching grace, in the old fire. place,
The eyergreens are strewn,
And pictures hung ON the whitened wall,
Aud the ola clock ticks in the cottage hall.
More lovely still, on the window SILL
The dew eyed flowers rest, t
Whilst mid the leaves, on the moss-grown caves
The martin builds her nest,
And all day long the summer breeze
Is whispering low to the bending trees.
Over the door, all covered o'cr,
With sack of dark green baize,
Lays musket old, whose worth is told
In the events of other days;
And the powder flask, and the hunters horn
Have hung beside it for many n morn.
For years have fed, with noselcss tread,
Like fairy dreams away,
And left in their flight, all shorn of his might,
A father-old and gray;
And the soft wind pla s with bis snow white hair
As the old man sleeps in his easy chair
In at the door, on the sandy floor,
Light, fairy footsteps glide,
And maiden fair with faxcn hair,
Kneels by the old mans side
An old oak wrecked by the angry storm,
While the ivy clings TO its trembling form

TIE MEXICAN THRONE.

The Spanish journals discusses at
different points ofview the nomination
of the Archduke Maximillian.
The Regemraeion thinks that nego-
tiatiops are about to be opened be-
tween Spain, France and Austria, for
the consolidation of the new empire.
According TO the Correspopde''cir, on
the contrary, the Spanish government
has already decided on the course of
its policy, and has taken its measures
not to be surprised by tho events which
may arise.
The Pueblo publishes an article de-
claring that, through the medium of
the Archduke Maximillian, the inten-
tcntion of Franco is to substitute
French influence for that of Spain in
Mexico. If the combination 1t says,

College Education.

Fond as we were and are of school
mains, the day came when it was no
longer prudent nor profitable to re-
main under their tuition. We confess
to having been so heartless as to bid
auIeu 10 that klnu Or UuuvatIuiI, rIt4l-
out so much as a tear or twinge of
the gizzard. The idea of taking a
higher position awakened ambition,
and we were deaf to all other allure
ments. What was fourteen yards of
calico compared with a sheep-skin
with A. b. at the head ? The COM
parison was not to be thought Of. At
the same time we could not but think
how grand it would be, and what
worlds of attention we should get
when we came back to our old friends
a student from College, and walked
UP and down the street, never seeing
any one but the minister and the law
yer, and the father of the prettiest girl
in town. We even fancied that under
such auspices we might be allowed to
walk along the street with that pretty
girl and enjoy the envy of all the fell
lows in town, If at times we had
fears that I'M such an event proving
true, we might meet some of our for
mer heart-warmcrs, and especially the
schoolma'm with culls, all fixed up IL
her war paint, we made up our minds
that we would not see her either She
was well enough when we could dc
no better, but if we ever got that pretty
girl hitched on to us-good bye school
nam
Well, we went TO college full of al
such fancics, and we came to the con
clusion that the only way to arrive al
distinction was to be the biggest ras-
cal in the class. We must attract at
tention somehow or we should not b'
considered a genius. We began oul
brilliancy by swapping paper wads a

Immediately invited us to their mex

have felt proud of such distinction
but we believe no such sordid passion
entered our breast. We went to tn
session meekly, determined to civ
those old fogies some sound advice
but they said something on our arr
val about impudent, iireverent boys
that we considered highly persona
and so we concluded to drop the ma

own road, and as near as we ever al

wanted us to do but we were no sue

Another stream is crossed,
By the snnguinary host;
On another blooming shore the wrecks Of battle
tossed;
And while the cannon's boom,
Thunders amid the gloom,
Impetuously the legions are rushing to their
doom;
While through the urid air,
The war cry is wringing,
And the naddened steed is springing,
On the wounded shrieking in despair,
And swords are starting red
With the life blood of brothers and fr' ends,
The lords OF humanity, devils instead,
Tread madly the death march of fends.
Hdrk!
Lepeath the war cloud dark,
And through the trembling air that thrills again,
Comes there no mounful sigh,
No sweet voice stealing by,
Proclaiming "Peaee on Earth, good will to men7"
