LITTLE JERRY, THE MILLER.

Beneath the hill you may see the mil,
Of wasting wood and crumbllng stone;
The wheel is dripping and gathering still,
But Jerry, the miller, is dead and gone.
Year after year, early and late,
Alike in summer and winter weather,
He pecked the stones and calked the gate,
And mill and miller grew old together.
sLittle Jerry!"-'twas all the same
They loved him we'll who called him so;
And whether he'd ever another name,
Z Nobody ever seemed to know.
'Twas "Little Jerry, come grind my rye;'
And Little jerry. come grind my Wheat"
And " Little jerry" was still the cry,
From matron bold and maiden sweet.
'Twas "Little jerry on every tongue,
And thus the simple truth was told;
For Jerry was little when he was young,
And he was little when he was old.
But what in size he CHANGED to lack,
Jerry made up by being stong;
I've seen sack upon his back,
AS thick as the miller ana quite as long,
Always busy and always merry,
Always doing his very best,
A notable wag was little Jerry,
Who uttered well his standing jest.
''When will you grind mycorn, I say ~
May" quoth jerry, you needn't scold;
Just leave your grist fo4 half day,
And never fear but you'll be TOLEDO
How Jerry lived is known to fame,
But how he died there's none may know;
One autumn day the rumor came
''The brook and Jerry We're very low
And then twas whisper ed mournfully
The leech had come and he was dead,
And all the neighbors fiocked to see;
"Poor little Jerry" was all they said.
they laid him in his earthly bed
His miler's coat his only stroud
"Dust to DUST" the parson said,
And all the people wept aloud.
For he had Stunned the deadly sin,
And not grain of over-toll
Had ever dropped into his bin,
70 weigh upon his parting soul.
Beneath the hill there stands tho mill
Of wasting wood and crumbling stone;
The wheel is dripping and Gathering still,
But jerry, the miller, is dead and gone

Albion Commercial College. AL
blOn. Michigan.

This popular institution has, within a few
years, attained proud position among the
Commercial Colleges Of the country. But
its remarkable success is readily accounted
for. Its President--the Hon. Ira Mayhem
is an experienced and successful teacher
He was formerly distinguished school
officer in New York, and has been eight
years the popular and efficient Superinten-
dent of Public instruction in Michigan,
having received, at his last election, more
votes than any other candidate on the State
ticket. He is also widely and favorably
known as an author. His treatise on the
Means and Ends of Universal Education,
published by A. S. Barnes & Co., as a volume
of the School Teachers Library, is justly
regarded as standing at the head of works
Of its class in this country; and Mayhew's
Practical Bookkeeping is more widely used
in the schools of the United States than any
other text book On that subject.
Mr.. Mayhem has carefully studied his
profession, and has had valuable experience
in business, having been for several years
the efficient United States Collector of H.
ternal Revenue for the Third District of
Michigan. But having relinquished the
cares of this office, he is now devoting his
entire attention to his Commercial College,
in which he is supported by an able corps
of assistants. tExoELsIoR' being his
motto, he has preferred the perfect develop
naent of ONE INSTITUTION that should be
worthy of the patronage Of this and other
States, to establishing a number of widely
scattered and necessarily enfeebled institu-
tons in different portions CT the country
A large number of earnest and delighted
students, from nearly every State of the
Union, confirms the wisdom Of this decision
A recent Board of Visitors to the Albion
Commercial College, in their report, justly
speak of it as having become zone of the
most valuable institutions of the State,'
thus ranking it with our State Normal
School, with the Agricultural College, end
with the University of Michigan. This in
stltution has a. "Theory Department" and
a Business Department." with stores,
banks, business offices, etc., all of which
are wisely employed as agencies in impart-
ing a thorough and symmetrical business
education And while the Principals of
Departments are accomplished instructors,
the President gives regular courses of lee
lures upon which all students attend
We are led to these remarks at this time
from having received a Pamphlet CSreular,
of forty pages, giving full particulars of the
organization, governmental policy, course
OF study, local advantages, ETC., of this ex-
cellent institution, of which Michigan may
well be proud. We feel great confidence
in commencing this College to persons who
would obtain thorough business educa-
tion, and especially TO such as regard the |
expenses, which are-here much less than
in large cities, while the course of instruc-
ton can nowhere be surpassed in thorough
ness.-Detroa Tribune.

Consumption Durable by DR.. Schenck's
Medicines, Sc

TO CURE CONSUMPTION, the system must be
prepared so that the lungs will heal. To accomplish
this. the liver and stomach must first be cIeansed and
an appetite created for good wholesome food which
by these medicines, will be dgested properly, and
good healthy blood made; thus building up the con-
stitution. sCAENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS cleanse
the stomach of all bilious or mucous accommodations
and, by using the seaweed Tonic in connection, the
appetite is restored. 81
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP is nutritious as

impurities are expelled from the SYSTEM and good,

REASONS WHY THE

IS THE BEST.

1t is made on the best principle It's frame is
posed of SOLID PLATES. no jar interfere with
the harmony of its workir and sudden shock can
damage its machinery. Every piece is made and fin
iShcd by machinery, (tsef famous for its novelty as
well as for its efectyeness and is therefore properly
made The watch is what all mechanism should be-
ACCURATE, SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECON CYNICAL.
Except high grades, too eastly for general use
foreign watches are chiefly made by women and boys.
Such watches composed of several hundred pieces
and riyeted together and require constant res
pairs TO keep them in any kind of order All persons
who have carried ancres" lepnes,' and English
patent levers" perfectly wen the truth of
this statement.
At the beginning ofour enterprise than 10 years
ago, it first object TO make Thoroughly good
low priced watch for the Million to take the place of
these foreign impostions the refuse of foreign factor
les, which were entirely unsaeable at home and per-
fectiy worthless everywhere.
How we'll we have accomplished this, may be under
stood from the fact that after many years of public
trial, we now make MORE THAN HALF OF ALL THE
WATCHES SOLD IN. TIE UNITED STATES, and
that others have given such universal satsfac
ton. While this department Of our business is con-
tnued with increased fac iies for perfect work. we
at present engaged in the manufacture of watches
of the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO GIRO
MONTEREY, unequaled by anything hitherto made
by ourselves, and unsurpassed by anything made in
the world. For this purpose have the amplest IA
cties. We have erected addition to our main
building, expressly for this branch of our business
and have filled it with the best workmen in our SER
vice. New machines and appliances have been con-
struced which perform their work with consummate
delicacy and exactness. The choicest and most APP
proved materials only used and we challenge
parison between this grade of work. and the finest
imported chronometer4. We do not pretend to sell
chronometers for MONEY than foreign watches,
but we do assert without fear Of contradiction, that
for the SAME MONEY product is incomparaby SUI
perior. All our Watches of whatever grade, are fully
warranted and this warrantee is good at all times
against us agents in all parts Of the world.

eyes of the public to the inefficiency of the

which people have so long blindly depended.
Maggiel's Pills. are not of the class that are
swallowed by the dozen, and which every
box full taken creates an absolute necessity
for another. One or two of Maggiel's Pills
suffices to place the bowels in perfect order
tone the stomach, create an appetite. and
renders the spirits light and buoyant! There
is no gripping and noTeaction in the form of
constipation. If the liver is affected. its func-
tions are restored and if the nervous sys-
tenn is feeble, it is invigorated. This last
quality makes the medicine very desirable for
the wants of delicate females. Ulcerous and

by the disinf, Giant power of Maggiel's Salve.

so that no one need hesitate to buy watch
now from the e: pectation that it will be
cheaper at some future time. The test of ten
years, and the manufacture and sale of
More Than 100000. Watches,
have given our productions the very highest
rank among time-keepers. Commencing

steadily increased as the public became &C

factory buildings until they now cover three
acres of ground, and give accommodation to
more than eight hundred workmen.
