THE BROOKLET.

Down In the grassy dinglo,
My love and 1 had met;
The waveH beat on the shIngle,
The golden sands were wet;
The white-winged vessels, saillnN
Swept slowly, slowly by.
Their wake q farewell failing
Unto my love and 1.
Sweet dinglel receded
Inland from oceans wave;
There, not in vain, Ipleaded
For love troth, which she gave.
A little brooklet rippled
On past us, teWard the sand;
With sparkling waters, dimpled,
It could not understand.
The what my love.said, after
The what 1 said to her,
Although its low, sweet laughter
Told that II might infer.
But where the brooklets listen,
In dingle or in deli,
And see loves bright EYES glisten,
They never never tell

Agricultural! Colleges.

The President OF the Michigan Asri-
cultural College, has the following. to
say about the method of conducting
that institution:
When a student enters the A2r!cut-
tural College he is set at manual Labor,
three hours each afternoon, every day
of the week except Saturday and Sun.
day, and he continues this work until
within a few weeks of his four years
course of his study II is long continued,
real work. and for it he is paid wages
from eight cents. an hour as the highest
down to nothing, if he ears only that.
The students work as faithfully as they
study, and they study as well III this
college us students study i'll any college
with which am acquainted. There IS
as much ambition to stand we'll III wages
as in lessons, and a large proportion OF
the students ask for, and sometimes re-
ceive additional work on Saturday. No
doubt one might see students and par
ties of students at times neglectfut or
careless in their work, as lie may also
see them in their studies. But as a gen
eral thing the work is well done, and
you may any afternoon see parties of
students under one of their number as
foreman, and solitary students uncnn
scious OF observation, working steadily
and with a faithfulncss that show they
are interested in their work, and are
conscientious in the discharge of duty
and the gaining of correct habits Of
labor. In the Sophomore or second year
of a student, all his labor is performed
in the Farm Department, SO that he may
be enabled to see the work on that de-
partment in its entirety. In thc Junior
or third year, he labOrs only in the Hor-
tcultural Departments for a similar
reason. While seniors, in their last year
at college, they work upon farm or on
the Horticultural Department as they
may be needed, Oh as their future pur
suits may make them to.choose.
The seniors frequently act as f0rcmcn
of gangs of students at work. One stu
dent has had charge of the construction
of a drain, others of fence building, or
of surveying and lcvcling for drains.
In the Horticultural Department, Pro-
fessor Beal says, Report 1873, p. G1 :
"About one-half of the students of the
Horticultural Department. Some of
tie most important parts of the institu-
ton is given separately to each OF these
young men while they are overseeing
certain kinds of work. One senior is
set over some portions OF the depart
ment for the whole year. One looks
especially after the vineyard one the
apple orchard one the orchard of pears,
cherries and plums, another the trees on
the lawn, one the wild garden and test
ing seeds, one the experimental and
sample beds of grasses, clover, ETC.,
another some portion of the vegetable
garden" These seniors work i'll these
duties and at the same time act as as
sistant foremen in directing the labors
OF other students.
junior labors under the eye of the pro-
lessor in nice operations that cannot
well be described in the classroom, and
for this work he receives nc pay.

how little the second half Of 100 bushels

and it is easy to produce such a yield.
