A model Business College.

Surpassed by none, equalled by- few.

Modern in every particular-an institution such as the times demand.

No shams or false pretenses-everything a living reality.

A school for the Farmer, the Merchant, the Mechanic, the Lawyer, the Physician-A school for those who would prepare themselves for.business or practical life.

Scores of young men and women in Bloomington and throughout the country, owe their start in life, and success thus far, to the course and practical training received at this school.

Although started under the most unfavorable circumstances, and without capital, it has steadily moved onward, ever keeping abreast of the times. To-day it is recognized as among the best and most progressive schools of its kind in the country.

Its President is recognized as the most expert accountant mi this section.

The members of the faculty are especially educated and thoroughly fitted for the work in hand, and are, therefore, not the "refuse" of some profession, which makes so many schools practically worthless.

The course in Business Arithmetic and Rapid Calculations is alone worth the whole tuition.

Students may commence at any time.

The instruction is largely individual, therefore students experience no embarrassment on account of being backward in their studies, by attending this school. .

The only school in this city where the Commercial Branches are properly taught.

The system of Short Hand taught here is the best, as it is the simplest, the most legible, and better adapted to all kinds of Short Hand work than any other system.

THE COTTER'S SATURDAY NIGHT. At length his lonely cot appears in view, Beneath the shelter of an aged tree; The expectant wee-things, toddlin, stagger through BY ROBERT BURNS. To meet their dad, wi' flitcherin noise an' glee. His wee bit fire-place, blinking bonnily, My loved, my honored, much respected friend! His clean hearthstane, his thriftie wifie's smile, No mercenary bard his homage pays; The lisping infant prattling on his knee, With honest pride I scorn each selfish end: Does a' his weary carking cares beguile, My dearest meed, a friend's esteem and praise: An' makes him quite forget his labor an' his toil. To you I sing in simple Scottish lays, The lowly train in life's sequestered scene; By and by the elder bairns come drapping in, The native feelings strong, the guileless ways; At service out, amang the farmers roun'; What Aiken in a cottage would have been; Some ca' the pleugh, some herd, some careful rin Ah ! though his worth unknown, far happier there, A cannie errand to a neebor town: I ween. Their eldest hope, their Jennie, woman grown, In youthfu' bloom, love sparkling in her e'e, November chill blaws loud wi' angry moan; Comes hame, perhaps, to show a braw new gown, The shortening Winter-day is near a close; Or deposit her sair-won penny-fee, The miry beasts retreating frae the pleugh; To help her parents dear, if they in hardship be. The blackening trains o' craws to their repose; The toil-worn Cotter frae his labor goes: Wi' joy unfeigned brothers and sisters meet, This night his weekly moil is at an end, An' each for other's weelfare kindly inquires: Collects his spades, his mattocks, and his hoes, The social hours, swift-winged, unnoticed fleet; Hoping the morn in ease and rest to spend, Each tells the news, that he sees or hears; And weary, o'er the moor his course does hameward The parents partial, eye their hopeful years; bend.

How Abram was the friend of God on high; Or Moses bade eternal warfare wage Wi' kindly welcome Jenny brings him in, With Amelek's ungracious progeny; A strappan youth; he takes the mother's eye Or how the royal bard did-groaring lie no.ill Blithe Jenny sees the visit's ta'en; Beneath the stroke of heaven's avenging ire; The father cracks of horses, pleughs, and cows; SOr Job's pathetic plaint and wailing cry; The youngster's artless heart o'erflows wi' joy.
