A farmer in Ottawa took 100
sacks of wheat to LIE Sueur and
was informed that he had 1856
bushels of wheat in the 100
sacks. The same farmer brought
so sacks of wheat TO St. Peter
and was informed that he had
116 bushels of wheat in his so
sacks. Now if that farmer had
brought the hundred sacks of
wheat to st. Peter instead of LIE
Seuer, he would have had 232
bushels of wheat or 46 more bush

THE COLLEGE GRADUATE.

He can give the laws Of Scion,
He can draw the flag Of Colon,
He can write Babylonian q;
He can make a writ In German,
He can draft q Turkish fireman;
But the English common law he never knew.
He can write his name in Spanish,
He can make speech In Danish,
And recite such Sanscrit as would turn your brain;
The Muallakat Arabic
He can scan in feet syllable;
But he couldn't tell old Shakespeare from Mark
Twain
He can fathcm all the mystery
OF old Ethiopic history;
He can name one thousand Morse kings-more or
less;
He can mark the Roman bound'ries
And describe the Aztec foundries;
But has never seen the Statutes Of U. S."
He can trace the radius vector,
With geometric sector,
And can give the moons diameter in feet;
He can analyze the arum,
Classify the Coptic carum;
But he cannot tell a cabbage from beet.
