Friday afternoon and

struck a final balance. It was
gratifying to find that the actual

by only a few hundred dollars,
notwithstanding the bankruptcy
of this company and the suspension
of the work pending
A arrangements between .the com

Speaking of the sewerage sysk,

JJot from a bard sublime,
Whose distant foot-steps echo
Through the eorridsrs of time.
But from a humble poet,
W hose song conies from the heart
As showers from the cleads of summer
Of tears irom tne eyenas start.
How pleasant 'tis whes A?tumn comet
To walk in field and wood;
ad see the fruits and nuts and grain
And everything that's goad.
How sweet to be beneath the trees,
In cool and pleasant shade.
How sweet to know that college is ope
And that our start is made.
Let us with determination start
And enter in all that's good;
The world is lovely; all is well,
When we're in Autumn mood.
If we've but few temptations in our pat
And our works are all complete;
If our minds are (trained 'ere the last
The Autumn days are oh! so sweet.
