Mr.. GRaY.-I know not whether
your readers id general are aware
that there exists in America such an
institution as an Asylum for the IN
struction of the Deaf and Dumb. Ii
it be not generally known in this
country, as am inclined to think it
is not. YOU may promote the cause oil
humanity, and excie deep interest
in the minds of the Benevolent by CIV
ing publicity to the fact. 1t is well
known that Institutions of this cha
racter have existed for many years in
ENGLAND and France : but in Ameri-
ca this species Of beneyolence has been
unknown till a few months past !; and
10 the dis;uterested and persevering
exertions of the Rev. MIR. Gallaudet
is the Western Continent indebted
for the introduction of a system of in
struction, whose object is to extend
knowledge and happiness to that class
of the community to which the pro-
violence of GOD had denied the COM
mon facilities OF COMMUNICATION
Long have we Witnessed through the
country the increasing numbers OF
those wrctcbed beings who are effec-
tually secluded from the blessings OF
social intercourse, whose minds are
locked up in perpetual silence, and
secured against the possibility of i'm
proyement. Our compassion was ex-
cited,i but it was helpless We are
taught to regard them as beings in

Bid fsurels q ace the vic,or's arms,
Where iiayoc's blvod-staind banners
move
Be mine g. w;ke the suffer notes
Where AcIDALIs's banner floats,
And wear the geutler Wreath OF Love.
The baiuiy rose let stoics scorn,
Let squeamish mortals dread the thorn,
And lear the pleasing pain to prove /;
I'll fearless bind il to my heart,
While every pang its thorns impart,
The Guweret's balsam shall remove;
For, swceten'd by the nectar'd kiss,
Ais pain that gives zest to bliss,
And freshens still the Wreath Of Love.
Give me eOntentment, peace and health,
A moderate share of worldly wealth,
And friends such blessings to Improve ;
A heart to give, when misery pleads,
To heal each ranking wound that eleeds,
And every mental pain remove;
Blu, with these give else all depy-

And wedlock be Wreath OF Love.

The dove Of Peace shalt make her nest,
Nor ever from the ark remove;
Till cal!'d to Heay'n, thrO' ages there
BE ours the blissful lot to wear
