For the Phenir Gazette.
TO A THROS1LE IN JANUARY.
Compartner of the warbling throng,
Whose morning notes inspire
The vocal sweets of Natures song,
The magic of the lyre.-
All! whittier guides your falt'ring wing! (
Why thus desert thy lair'
Not now you'll sip the droplet spring,
Nor glide the fexuous air.
The stream that meath the willow gush'd,
Congeals in Winters chains;
The heath DER which the sunlight blush'd
Is cold as Zembla's plains.
The peaches blast so shrek and shriu,
Rolls through the forest glen
No murmur's heard from mountains rill,
No voice steals Ger the fen.
Then Ay sweet minstrel of the grove!
The margin shade be thine;
All! wing thee to the moss-grown cove,
Till ivy May-buds Irvine! S.

The following extract from the life
Of FISHER AMES, will amply repay
the labor of perusal:
Sin the first congress under the fe-
deral constitution, which met at New
York IN the year 1889, Mr.. Ames ap-
peared in the house of representatives,
as member from that district in which
was included the city of Boston. Du-
ring the, eight years Of the Washing
ton administration, he retained his seat
in that august assembly august let
us call it; for it was composed Of the
ablest and most yirtuous men OF the
nation. Rome, in her best days, would
have gloried in senate so enlightened
and dignifcd; and the states of Greece
would have committed their destinies
to council SO pre-eminen. in patriot
ism and wisdom.
This period of eight years, during
which Mr.. Ames held seat in the le-
gislature of the union, was all-impor-
tant to the people of America. In the
course oft, the most momentous con-
Germs of the nation were discussed and
adjusted with that sagacity and discern
ment, that wisdom and integrity, which
their weight and the crisis SO pressing
ly demanded. The complex and nigh
ty machine Of government calculated
to maintain its own existence, and to
embrace and reconcile the different
and clashing interest of an extensive
country and numerous, high-spirited
and jealous people, was constructed
and put in motion. In addition to
this successful and satisfactory arrange
ments were made on the score Of the
most important of our external rela-
tons. BY wise and humane system
of policy, combining the principles OF
Justice and force, Cancellation and firm
ness, the friendship ofthe Indian tribes
was secured. With Great Britain and
Spain, an honorable adjustment was
affected in relation to all our points OF
difference. A spring was given to COM
merce which carried our flag to every
sea, and brought to our shores the pro-
ducts and riches of every climate; and,
by digni6ed neutrality, the nation
was preserved from the threatening
vortex of a foreign alliance.
In the achievements Of wisdom and
the duties ofpatriotism, necessarily APP
pertaining to these transactions, MIR.
Ames held share that was ample and
distinguished. Persevering in his at
tentions, and faithful to the trust repo-
sed in him by his constituents, in no in
stance, did he indulge himself in alb
sence from his post. On every ques-
ton ofinterest and importance, he took
an active and responsible part in de-
bate. His eloquence was always adapt
ed to the occasion-argumentatiye or
impassioned, playful or serious, lofty
or satirical, according to the subject,
and the prevailing temper and disposi-
ton OF the house. 1t was rich in every
thing, both as to matter and manner,
calculated to delight, impress, and In
struct. Although it might not always
convince his opponents, it seldom Of
Tended them, and never failed to excite
their admiration, and command their

From the U. S. Literary Gazette. |

THE SCHOOL 1T SOUTHAMPTON. /
We consider it to be one of our duties to
furnish the public with whatever information
we can procure, respecting the means of edu-
cation existing among us. This subject at all
times, ard every where interesting, is pecu-
liarly so, now and here. II is not of new
books only, that we would speak, but of all
new things, which have any relation 10 the
discipline and culture Of youthful minds. We
cannot pretend, nor can it be desired, that we
should state opinions so much as facts. Let
the public know what means and facilities for
education are put into operation, and there is
little reason to doubt that a correct judgment
will be formed of their wisdom and efficiency,
and right and adequate use made of them.
Many OF our readers must be- aware that Mr..
Cogswell and Mr. Bancroft, both of whom re-
Gently held official situations in the University
at Cambridge, have opened a school in North
ampton, which they profess to conduct upon
new principles and in a new manneE. The
establishment of this novel institution has a
Weakened some interest in this vicinity, and,
We believe elsewhere it seems to us a cir
cumstance worthy Of notice and attention,
from its connexion with the literature of our
country and, not doubling that portion Of
our readers-to say no more-would thank us
for our trouble, we have enabled ourselves 10
acquaint them with the views and purposes of
these gentlemen, and with their rules and pro-
cesses in the discipline Of the school.
Several years ago, before Mr.. Cogswell's res
idence in Europe, he had been engaged in in
struction at Cambridge, and in that situation
had favorable opportunity Of becoming ac-
quainted with the condition and character of
the principal schools in this section of the
country. His thoughts were directed to the
| subject of education, and, during the years
| which he spent abroad, he had every opportu-
nifty of inspecting the best institutions in Great
Britain and on the continent. Mr.. Bancroft
completed his education at European Univer-
sitics; and it was his particular object, in GO
ing thither, to qualify himself as an instructor.
During his residence in Germany, he repeat
eddy received letters, calling his attention 10
the subject, and having with him son OF .
professor OF Cambridge University, whom he
was to place at a Gymnasium, he awaited
lIimselfo OF this circumstance TO become ac-
quainted with most of the best teachers in the
north OF Germany. Education is there taught
as science; and he had the advantage Of
personal intercourse with Nemeyer, the chan.
celior Of the University Of Halle, and the most
practical man Of our day in the matters relat.
ing to schools, and also Of hearing public lee
lures delivered at Berlin, on the science of ed
ucaton, by one Of The most able and eloquent
men of the age. During his residence in Ger
many he witnessed the effects Of the various
systems Of education as exhibited in practice
and, at different times and in different places
made himself an inmate Of their Gymnasia To-
