GREECE AND FREEDOM.

Fierce and fell the contest burnelh
Over sea and over land;
Greece the chains Of ages spurneth-
Greece hath drawn a sheathless brand
Welcome. Freedom though thy birth
With whrlwind shake the earth;
Welcome, though thy lovely form
Dawn through shrouding gloom and storm,
Ger each old TIellenan mountain,
Where thy dwelling was of yore,
Der each classic hill and fountain
Sounds thy haIowed pame once more,
Welcome-though the cannon peal,
Ringing blade and clashing steel,
And the battle shout on high
Echo back the glorious cry.
Der the azure waters LAYING,
The Egean thousand isles,
The red Gag is proudly waving.
Lighted now by yiclory's smiles.
Who would be slave again,
Once when o'er The bounding main
Like his feelings wild end free,
He has fought and bled for thee ?
Tho the Empress Of the ocean,
Who should lead thy battles van,
Coldly see our lives devotion,
For the dearest rights Of maa.
Meier again these isles shall gem
Turkeys lyrant dadem:
All like Scio first shall be
kuined-desolate- free

POLYCARP, an eminent Christian father, wa:
Born in the reign Of Nero. Ignatius recommended
the church at Antioch TO the and superinten.
dence OF this jealous father who appears to have
been unwearied in his endeayours to preserve the
peace Of the church, and to promote piety and
virtue amongst men.
When persecution ragged at Smyrna, the dis
tingushed character OF Polycarp attracted the
attention of the enemies OF Christianity. The
general outcry was, Let Polycarp be sought Tor. >
When he was taken before the proconsul, he was
solicited TO reproach Christ, and save his life: but
he nobly replied: Eighty and six years have /
served Christ, who has never deserted or injured
me how then can blaspheme my King and
Saviour;''
When be was brought to The stake, the execu-
toner offered, as usual, TO nail him to it: but he
said, "Let me alone as | am he who has given me
strength to come TO the fire, will also enable me to
stand unmoyed in The pile, without being fastened
with nails
Part of his last prayer, at his death, was as fol-
lows 80 Lord Cod Almighty, the Father Of Jesus
Christ, by whom we have received the knowledge
OF thyself 0 God OF angels and municipalities, and
ofevery creature, and especially OF all the just who
live in thy presence thank thee that thou hast
graconsly youchsaed, this day and this hour, to
aiot me the glorious privilege OF sugering for thee
praise and adore thee, through Thy beloved Son;
TO whom with thee, and the Holy Spirit be gor5,
both now and for ever. Amen"

SACRED .UELODF.
ny WILLIAM II. TAPPAN.


When DER long night the bursting dawn
In youthful bloom appeared;
When Angels hymn'd the rising morn,
And songs in Heaven were heard;
Amid the burning orbs that gemmed
Jeh0rah's siewless throne;
In native glory diadem'd,
One Star illumed alone.
On Palestine, fair Solyma,
Benignantly serene,
Precursor Of a brighter day,
The harbinger was seen;
The captive saw the symbol shine
His broken letters fell;
The Shepherd marked the peerless sign
That told Immanuelt
In latter time we view it burn,
With undiminished ray;
1t leads The Pagan's glad return,
II cheers the wanderers way;
With influence sweet, illuming far,
Its beams TO peace incline;
From East to West the holy star,
The star of Jesus shines

FREE SCHOOLS.
Ifthere be any thing of which Msssac husett.
may be proud, it is her establishments for common
school education. In this respect, she stands among
her sister States unrvaled, excepting, perhaps, 6y
Connecticut. In Boston, there are six school
houses capable Of holding 500 scholars each. To
each Of these there ate attached reading master
With salaries OF s 200 each, and two vshers with
salaries OF 5000. 10 these schools all children
between the ages OF and IA years, who can read
1oeraoly we'll in easy lessons, are admitted gratis
For children under the age OF wears, there are
primary schools established. under the direction of
well educated female inslructresses. For those
who are Older and are destined for a mercantile
education, an English classical school has been
established where all the higher branches Of English
education are taught. And for those destined for |
professional lie, Latin school is provided, OF which
the principal instructor recelvte salary oil Se0OO
per anhuH. Assistant instructors, literally sun
ported, are also attached 10 the establishment In
IS SAID that ior the education oi children at Ieast
6+C200 are annually paid out Of the treasury of
boston. The annual examination OF the whole oil
these except the primary schools, takes place on
the "Wednesday preceding the Commencement oil

awarded 10 tnose scholars who have excelled in each
OF ne several departments A public dinner is pro
FIdeo al the expense OF the cerporation of which
the scholars who have obtained premiums, are en-
tltied 10 partake. The free schools of New York
are extensive but IN proportion to the size of the
pace, IS doubted wheher any city IN the civilized
world can boast Of so noble provision Tor he edu

esq dangers that ever experienced. ON THE
NIGHT OF THE NINETEETH INSTANT.
WE WERE VISITED BY A TERRIBLE
EARTHQUAKE. WHICH HAS LAID THIS
FINE PLACEIN RUINS. AND;SHAKEN ALL
Chilli TO ITS FOUNDATIONS. What few
houses are still standing are so shattered that
they can be no longer tenanted-The inhabi-
tants have all retired to the hills, and are living
in tents You cannot imagine the horrible con-.
dition of this place; there will no doubt be a IA
mine, as provisions are now selling at the most
exhorbitant prices. About three hundred peo-
pie have been taken out of the ruins, and e.
very day two or three are found
/ was sitting with some friends in my room
when the first thing heard was The falling Of
the roof-and on rushing forwards, found it i'm
possible to stand, the earth was in such violent
agitation / fortunately got into the street be-
fore the house fell--the next moment the earth
was rent asunder, leaving tremendous chasm.
The objects on all sides, the screams of the dy.
ing and of the fugitives, and the danger which
surrounded me, filed my mind with the most
awful emotions. 1t length, l was delivered
from danger by the inteposition of one of my
friends-and have been living ever since on
board ship.-Every two or three hours there is
new CONFUSION ofthe earth, which communi-
Gates itself to the vessels in the harbor.
