PNddy's Letter.

Hibernian Wit and Blunders are an mex
haustible mine from which the newspaper and
periodical press obtain material for the greater
portion Of their withdrawing articles. The
following is good specimen. Il newly swan
islander from the land of peat and potatoes
brought to New York by the Great Eastern
and thence to Atchison on the lightning train,
writes home his impression of matters and
things thus:
ATcHIsoN, KANSAS, August 20, 1868.
Dear Biddy, I'm here on the prairies of Kansas
at last,
Dry, weary and foot-sore, and glad that the
journey is past;
They've got no shillalahs, turf-stacks nor mire,
But worse than the "curse of the crows" is the
fire,
Which goes on rampage Tin reason to speak
Let me see-why yes-fully three times week
And burns up creation IA fact l assure you)
From golden Pixies Peak to the muddy Missouri
In large iron boxes their fires are shut up,
And that's how they cook both the "bit and the
sup"
IT'S very convenient I tell you it is,
AS they d burn up creation if 7 was MT for this
And, whisper, "acashla, I've got one for y GU,
A splendid BUCKS PATENT bought from
JAKE LEU,
Who has stoves without end in size and in shape
And sells, as his rivals say, shamefuly ''chape.'
And we can assure our readers that Pat was
correct, for JACOB LEU has got a supply of
Stoves and Stove fxings surpassed by meme
west of Saint Louis, and his prices are the most
reasonable in the western country. Those who
need anything in his line will save money by
at his store south side of CONNER
cial street near fifth.

The Importance OF n Practical business

Education

Education
Is now fully conceded for in this ago Of the world
only educated labor is sure Of success.
That the nation grows more practical as il grows
in prosperity, is seen and acknowledged; and tina, it
requires men practically educaed-educated for bus
mess and the times-to meet it's Demands is apparent
to every observer Of human nature. Henry Clay
was never more truthful than when he said:
d" Young man, qualify yOar'el for bu'ine". The

and you piH succeed nop and hereafter"
This being 10, and the world understanding it,
schools and studies commensurate with the age were
long ago felt TO be necessity Hence the estaS-
lishment of this Business College ten years since,
founded on the great motto Of Agesilaus, Teach
your boys tba, which they will practice when they
become men," And the energies Of its founder baye
since been devoted To perfecting q coure of study

Quoting the entire operations in the most interesting

THE INSTITUTION.

ond TO no other college Of learning in this country in
point Of usefulness and prosperity. II has over
ranked as the first Business School in the Union
and that i,s practical plan Of operation has now
placed il far in advance Of all Commercial or Mer-
camille colleges in tie world, an examination will
prove.
The superiority ii claims over other institutions Of
similar character, is in the new mode Of instruc-
on, combining theory and practice, by of GER

presented to the world two years ago, with the full
belief that it would stand the most rigid examination
and that ii has been gratifying success is fully sub
stantiated by the testimony in recent reports from
some Of the beet educators and business men OF the
country, who have witnessed the operations Of teach
srs and pupils, as well M from graduates who,
through it's benefits, have risen above the tranmel,
Of want, and are iDg lucrative aud honorable posi-
tons.
The system of practical instruction is founded on
principles go simple and sefeydent, that it requires
only an examination, to be admitted and understoodi
and personal examination Of the institution, IN all
its appointments, is sufficient to thoroughly demon
rtrate the prscticability of the system.

It ia not expected that all who graduate here Will
become merchants or bankers for it is equally essen
al that the farmers mechanics and all others should
have such knowledge as is here impaired
verv interesting and important feature in the
College course here, is SERIES or LECTURES BY
DISTINGUISHED men. such as JOHN b. COUCH, the
electric speaker; f. II. CBAPIS, the orator, whose
living words have the rhythmic flow and liquid har'

GEORGE d. PRENTICE, the editor and poet; PITER
COOPER, the merchant prince and man Of business
P. L. BARNux the great Snowman, whose practical
lectures have added vastly to his reputation and
many others who equally deserve consideration.
In conclusion would suggest that young men

PARENTS AND GUARDIANS
should be interested in this system of practical bust

clearer insight into the practical operation Of bus'
