penses have nothing 10 do with any
proper cjtimate Of the cost of student
lie here. The standard Of examination
for admiss on TO Oxford is no higher
than at any OF our best colleges he
requirements after that are very much
less. An undergraduate of ordinary
abilities can finish tle course in any
one Of the colleges here within three
years, and In the three years he will
study six months only in each year.
The scholastic year consists of three
terms of only eight weeks each. They
have sig weeks holiday at Christmas.
II is easy to see from the short period
OF study and the predomilance given
to classical studies that not much of a
general education can be obtained at
Oxford. Strangers who come To Ok

not seeming TO understand that there

are separate and distinct organizations

COIN HOME TO-DAY.

My business on the jury's done-the quib-
bling is all through
I've watched the lawyers right and left
and given my verdict true;
stuck SO long unto my chair, thought ]
would grow In;
And If do not know myself, they'll ge'
me there again;
But now the courts adjourned for good,
and haYe got my pay.
I'm loose at last. and, thank the Lord, I'm
going home to-day.
I've somehow felt uneasy like, since the
first day ] came down;
II is an awkward game TO play the gentle
man in town;
And this ere Sunday suit of mine on Sun
day rightly sets;
But when wear the stuff week, 1t some
how gals and frets.
I'd rather wear my homespun rig Of pep.
per, salt and gray
III have it OF in half jill when &c
home to-day.
The morning that 1 came away we had
little bout;
coolly took my hat and left before the
show was out.
For what said was naught whereat she
ought to take oiense,
And she wa always quick at words End
ready TO commence;
But then she's first TO give up when she
has had her say,
And she will meet me with kiss when
go home to-day.
have no doubt my wife looks out, as well
as any one
As well as any woman could-to see thai
things are done;
For though Melin a, when m there, wont
set her foot out doors,
She's very careful when I'm gone to tend
TO all the chores.
But nothing prospers half so well when
get of 10 stay,
And i win put things into shape when
get home to-day.
My little boy-I'll give em leave TO match
him If they can;
It's fun to see him strut about, and try tc
be man;
The gamiest cheeriest little chap you
ever wish TO see
And then they laugh because think the
child resembles me.
The little rogue. he goes fer me like rob
beers for their prey;
He'll turn my pockets inside out when
get home to-day.
My little girl can't contrive how 1
should happen thus
That God should pick that sweet bouque
and fl ng il down TO us!
My wife she SAYS that handsome face will
some day make a stir;
| And then laugh. because she says thu
child resembles her!
She'll meet me half way down the hill
and kiss me anyway,
| And light my heart up with smile whel
gohome to-day.
If there's heaven on the earth, fellow
knows IL when
| He's been away from home week, and
| then gets home again;
| III there heaven u ION the earth, there
often, I'll be bound,
| Some homesick fellow meets his folks, anC
hugs EN- all around.
But let my creed be right or wrong, or b
Il as 1t may,
