THE following beautiful verses are from the pen
the Rev. C. Croly, Au,hor of Paris, The Ang,
Of the World, Catane, &c.
When eve is purplng cliff and cave,
Thoughts Of ne iear how soft ye Cow
Not softer Oh the western wave
The golden lines Of sunset glow.
Then all by chance or fate removed,
Like spirits crowd upon the eye;
The lew we lked-the one we loved,
And the whole heart is memory.
And life is like this fading hour,
Its beauty dying as we gaze,
Yet as the shadows round US lower,
Heaven pours above the brighter blaze.
When morning sheds its gorgeous dye,
Our hope. our heart to earth Is given,
But dark and lonely is The eye,
That turns not, al its eve, to heaven.

deem it proper to state the tollo wing facts.

VI Is suCD, that every pTIn-
cple Of the study is explained from step to step
and made familiar to the understanding Of the
pupil, and the mode of instruction is principally
by questions and answers.
The class, examined in our presence, consist.
ed Of seven ladies. They had received 90 daily
lessons Of one hour each, and stated that they
had not devoted more than one additional hour
to the study upon an average each day, making
the whole not TO exceed forty hours. Most OF
them, when they commenced this course ofIesJ
sons, were entirely unacquainted with the priu-
ciples OF grammar. They now appeared to be
familiar " ith all the parts Of speech and their
various notifications, could readily parse any
simple construction Of the English Language,
and answer the most difficult questions with rel
spect TO the formation Of the several modes and
lenses.
