POETRY.

The world is bright before thee.
Its summer flowers are thine
Its calm blue sky is DER thee.
Thy bosom, pleasures shrine.
Add thine the sunbeam given.
From natures morning hour:
Pure, warm, as when from heaven.
II burst on Eden's bower.
There is song Of sorrow,
The death-dirge of the CAV.
That tells. ere dawn of morrow
Those charms may melt away.
That suns bright beam be shaded
That sky be blue no more,
It's summer flowers faded.
And youths warm promise DER.
Believe il not, though lonely,
Thy evening home may be,
Though heauty's bark can only
Float on summers sea.
Though Time thy bloom is stealing.
There's still, beyond his art.
The wild-fower wreath of feeling
The sunbeam Of the heart.

The number ofstudents, during the last three

which are appropriate to the two senior cla..

examination SO far as TO satisfy themselves tina,
no artificial arrangement, on the part of thu
pupils, had contributed to the accuracy they
exhibited in the variety of subjects, to which
their attention had been directed. The abil-
lty, fidelity and success Of the Instructors, well
entitle them to the thanks of the Trustees
and the patronage of the public. In the In.

SCHOOL MEETING.


The inhabitants of the Centre School Dis
trict in the town of Worcester, are reminded
that their meeting, which was begun on the
18th Of September last, under a Warrant from
the Selectmen, stands adjourned to Monday the
first day Of December next, at o'clock ?. M.
to meet at the Centre Shoot House. Several
committees were appointed at that meeting,
who are to report at the adjournment, on sew
eral subjects of much interest, some of them
involving expense to the District. The con-
sideration of some articles in the Warrant was
also postponed to the same time; among which.
is the article respecting new organization Of
the schools, and the choice of beard of over
seers. These are to be elected by ballot, and
too much pains cannot be taken, to select men
for that trust, who feel its Importance, and will
discharge its duties with punctuality and iidel-
ity. 1t is earnestly hoped, that no one will
neglect the approaching meeting. If indeed
there were any, who cared nothing for the ed
ucation of youth, it is believed, regard to pc
-c1tTlaary interest would induce such to give
their punctual attendance for they cannot
but be aware, that Districts are authorized by
law 10 vote monies, for certain purposes, to an
amount, which might materially affect their
tax bills. But it cannot be thought, that the
claims of youth for the advantages of educa.
fion, are not sufficient of themselves, to secure
the attendance and cooperation of every In.
habitant Of the District

missed, the robber detected and taken
before Alderman Enock, and committed.
A return was Immediately made by the

in session. A bill was found by the
Grand Jury-the prisoner was brought
into court and arraigned; he pleaded
guilty, and was sentenced to 6 months
Imprisonment at hard labor in the COM

elapsed from the stealing Of the goods
until sentence was passed, was not more
han six hours!
