Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege.

The Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical
College will be opened for admission OF
students, September II of the present
year. The building will be ready for oc-
oupation at that time, and a Faculty, con-
sisting of President and six Professors
and Assistant Professors will be upon the
ground.
The College will be opened with ex-
cellently equipped Laboratories in Chem
istry and Physics, with we'll selected Cab
inets in Mineralogy, Geology, and Zool-
ogy, and with ample means for teaching,
in the best methods, such other branches
as are to be at present provided for.
Two courses of study will be established
at the opening Of the College-an Agri-
cultural Course and General or Spian=
tifc Course. The Agricultural Course
will extend through three years, and its
successful completion will be attested by
a snecial diploma of the Institution. Can
didates for admission to this course must
be fourteen years of age, and must sus-
tain examination in the ordinary branch
es of a common school education, viz:
Reading, Orthography, Penmanship, Eng
lish Grammar, Descriptive and Political
Geography Arithmetic, and in Algebra
to Quadratic Equations.
The General Course will extend through
four years. and students passing success
fully through it will receive the degree
of Bachelor of Science.
In addition to the requirements al
ready named for entrance upon the Agri-
cultural Course, candidates for admission
to the General Course must sustain ex
animation in Elementary Physics, Chem
istry and Botany, in Physical Geography
in Algebra to General Theory of Equa-
tions, and in Plane Geometry. In other
words, as the Agricultural Course is ad
iusted to the needs Of students coming
from the common schools, the General
Course is designed, in the main, to take
up the work Of education where it is left
by the high schools of the State.
Besides the above named regular cours-
es, full liberty of selecting studies will
be allowed to students who shall have
been admitted to the General Course, and
also to students who shall have COM
pleted the first year of the Agricultural
Course, with the single provision that the
studies selected shall be such as the stu
dent is qualified, in the Judgment of the
faculty, to pursue
Provision viii be made in the regular
courses of instruction for teaching the
Latin and Greek, and also the French
and German languages, Civil Engineering
and Military Tactics. The elements,
however, will not be taught in the Col
lege, but students desiring to pursue the
study of these languages will be required
to possess as much elementary knowledge
of them as is generally required for adj
mission to the Colleges of the State.
Tuition will be free for two students
for every member of the House of Rep
resentatives from each Assembly district
of the State, who are to be selected by

Josh Billings on the Porcupine.

The porkupine IL a kind ov thorny
woodchuck.
They are bigger than rat, and small
er than a calf
They liv in the ground, and are as
prikly all over as a chestnut burr, or a
case of the hives
1t il sed that they hav the power ov
throwing their prikers like .iavelin, but
this il smart falsehood
An old dog won't touch a porkupine
emmy quicker than he would phire brand
but young dogs pitch into them like ur-
chins into sugar hogshead
The konsequentz ov this is that they
git their mouths filled with prIckers,
which are Bearded and kant bak out
A porkupines quilIs when it enters
goes klean through and comes out on
the other side ov things. This is way
they have got.
The porkupine IL not bad yittles their
meat tastes like pork and bean, with the
beans left out.
They hav cute way of stealing apples
known only to phew
| hav seen them run under an apple
tree and rolling over on the fruit which
had fallen from the tree, carry oph on
their prickers dozen ov them
hav often told this story to people
but never got emmy to beleave it yet
Porkupines have got destiny to phil;
it may be only hole in the ground, but
they kan phil that az phull az it will

A Philosophic Husband.

| An eX-private, giving anecdotes con,
nected with the late war, relates an Incl
dent of a soldier he calls Jim, that beats
Enoch Arden all to pieces. lin was
made cripple at the battle of Stone
River After the war a comrade met him
sitting in provision store in Columbus
He was still a cripple, but his face had
the old quietness OF content in it.
He said; Yes, I'm doing pretty well
nco making much, but doing pretty we'll.
Have just been up to see my wife. She
married another man, you know. No!
Didn't you know it a.? Divorced? D.? No She
just married him, and threw me overheard,
you know. 1t made me a little mad
tell you. But she married good man,
and there's the rub, you see He's got a
farm and good house, and he took my
wife and children right in, sir, and treated
them like a gen tleman. 1t cut me a lit
tie to have the woman throw me off, but
/ looked at the question from her stand
point, and it's all right. Then 1 got
worked up a little, and thought 1 had
better steal the children from their STEP
father. So l went up to see them again.
Would you believe itP They said they
didn't want to live with me if they had
to leave their mother. So 1 said, All
right, and came right away again You
my lame leg and arm l couldn't support
her right, and the little duck told me So
with her arms around my neck. This
finished me, you know"
"But," said my friend, "the woman is
legally your wife"
u know it, said JIM" but if l was
stubborn and claimed her, you see, she
would have to take in washing to sup
port the family. Legality isn't the
thing. can t do anything much, and it
wouldn't be comfortable, you know, to
have her working for me. l couldn't t
stand that half SO well as the way it is
now. No, sir, legality don't help the
matter l will never be comfortable any
way. Shed marry after l was dead, so
what's the use of whimperipgT
Poor JIM He was oanstitutionally
oqql ia the last. He accepted misfortune,
defeat, wounds, loss of wife, and all in
the same spirit with which he went into
battle.

Laughing Children.

Give me the boy or girl who smiles as
soon as the first rays of the morning sun
glance in through the window, gay, happy
and kind. Such boy will be fit to
make up" into man-at least when
contrasted with a sullen, morose, Grabbed
fellow, who snaps and snarls like surly
our or. growls and grunts like an untam-
ed hyena from the moment he opens his
angry eyes till he is confronted by his
breakfast. Such q girl, other things be-
ing favorable, will be good material to
aid in gladdening some comfortable
home, or to refine, civilize, tame and hu-
manize rude brother, making him gen
tie, affectionate and loveable. 1t is a
feast to even look at such ioy-inspiring
girl, and see the smiles flowing, so to
speak, from the parted lips, displaying a
set of clean, we'll brushed teeth, looking
almost the personifcation of beauty and
goodness, singing, and as merry as the
birds-the wide-awake birds that COM
menced their morning concert long be-
fore the lazy boys dreamed that the sun
was approaching and about to pour a
whole flood of light and warmth upon
the earth. Such . girl is like gentle
shower TO the parohed earth, bestowing
kind words, sweet smiles and acts Of
mercy to all around, her-the JOY and
light of the household.

Husband and Wife.

Harmony in the married state is the
very first object to be aimed at. Nothing
can. preserve affection uninterrupted but
firm resolution never to differ in will,
and a determination in each to consider
the love of the other as of more value
than any other object whatever upon
which a wish has been fixed How light,
In fact, is the sacrifice Of any other wish
weighed against the affections of one
with whom we are to pass our lifel And
though opposition in single instance
Will hardly of itself produce alienation,
yet everyone has his pouch into which
all these oppositions are put, and while
that is filling the alienation is insensibly
going on, and when filled is complete. 1t
would puzzle either to say why; because
no one difference has been marked
enough to produce serious effect by
ITSELF But he finds his affection wearried
out by constant stream of checks and
obstacles. Other sources of discomfort,
very common, indeed, are the cross -pur-
poses of husband and wife in common
conversation; a disposition to critcise
and question whatever the other says-a
desire always to demonstrate and make
hlm feel himself wrong, especially in
sympathy, Nothing is so goading. Much
better, therefore, If our companion views
thing in a different light from what we
do, to leave him in quiet possession of his
view. What is the use of rectifying him
II the thing be unimportant; let it pass
for the present, and wait for softer mo-
ment and moro concilatory occasion for
revising the subject together. 1t is won-
derful how many persons are rendered
unhappy by inattention to the rules of
prudence

competitive examinations conducted in
the counties in which they reside. To
all other students uniform rate of eight
dollars, (SS.00) per term, or twenty-four
dollars, 1924. 00D per year, will be charged,
in lieu of the various fees for matricula-

will be made except for materials con.
sumed in the laboratories.
Rooms in the College Dormitory which

True Success in Life.

Human life, my friends, is not one
chance but thousand. You are a bus
mess man, perhaps, and your ventures
have miscarried, one after the other, and
now you look sadly back through long
vista of disappointment and defeat. But
meanwhile you are known to be 8 good
man and true-a kind husband and faith
er, loyal citizen and faithful friend
and many a man who has passed you in
the race for wealth and fame may look
with envy upon the love and respect you
have gained by your personal character
and services. Your want of success in
business life may be due to some peculiar
lack of yourself or may result from
something adverse in your surroundings
but remember that while your undertake
ings may fail over and over again, you
yourself may be glorious success. But
if you fail in manliness, courage and in
tegrity, then all outward successes amount
to nothing.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1873-08-07
Keep Cheerful.

The world is full of solemn faces, that
weary you, and make your own burdens
heavier. You go up. and down the city
streets, you ride in cars, you lounge on
steamboats,, and everywhere you meet
long-drawn, sorrowful faces. If bright
young face appears amid the crowd of sol
emn ones, it beams upon you like refresh
ing sunshine after a storm
And yet, these are mainly good people,
many of them professed Christians but
life's little worries are written all over
their faces, the eyes are sad an anxious;
and the 'good-natured lines" about the
mouth and eyes are nearly obliterated
r / is the duty of the Christian to be
cheerful, hopeful, joyous. In what re-
spect does he differ from the worldling,
if cares have choked down all present
happiness, or dimmed his glorious hopes
of the future2 Keep cheerful 1t may
sometimes cost you an effort to smile
but it will react upon yourself, and cheer
all around you. We remember once en-
tering a crowded horse-car just at night
The city workers, both men and women,
were on their way home, looking forward
to rest and pleasant companionship, and
yet the sad, solemn faces haunted u.s.
"Oh, deart' we said to our companion,
sis everybody in the car going TO
funeral?' He answered with merry
laugh, which his neighbor echoed, and
soon the rest were smiling, although they
did not know the cause.
We are fellow travellers in life, and
kind word of ours, or pleasant face (for
the plainest may be pleasant), may cause
every traveller with us to smile in sym
pathy, and make the journey less tedious
for all. We are all going home; the
lights in the Fathers mansions are bright,
reireshment awaits us, and the rest
which the earth-workers need. Scatter
smiles, sow kind words, do good deeds,
and thy life will be enriched and thy
death will be perfect peace.

Getting Ready to be Happy.

That is exactly what the most of us
are doing. We are not ready to be hap
py to-day, this week, this year, but to-
morrow, next month. another year, our
cup of JOY will be full. When the prom
ised times come, and the acme of our
hopes in certain direction are reached,
health may be wanting friends dead, and
life, however full of all we thought to
make it rich and worth the having, be
empty and dreary. But he who takes
the best of now and here" and enjoys it,
puts himself into possession of that which
can not be taken away. Certainly it is
right to provide for rainy day, in health
to prepare for sickness, in youth to lay
up for old age; but there is much more
time than many of US think while doing
this to be happy in the present, and
there are thousand paths to happiness
if we but have the skill and desire to find
them. -
We are eager in the pursuit of some
far-of result to take time to be happy to-
day. How often do we look back on
years that have fled and see many ele-
ments of truest enjoyment, which at the
time we took no notice of, and which,
could we count them in now, would fill
our cup of joy to OVERLOOKING Shall we
learn no lesson from this?

Be Sociable.

Men who isolate themselves from So
ciety, and have no near and dear family
ties, are the most unfortunate of human
beings. Byron says that "happiness was
born in a twin" but the phrase, though
pretty and poetic does not go far enough.
We are gregarious, and are not intended
to march through life either in single or
double file. The man who cares for no.
body, for whom nobody cares. has little
to live for. You must have heap of
embers to have glowing
fire. Scatter them apart, and
they will become dim and cold. So, to
have q brisk, vigorous life, you must
have group of lives to keep each other
warm, to afford mutual encouragement,
confidence and support. If you wish to
live the life of man and not of fun
gus, be sociable, be brotherly, be charita-
bic, be sympathetic and labor earnestly
for tho good of your kind
