THE FUNERAL. OF A MOTHER,

l saw the SOUPS big tear in ulanhood's eye
Der youths fair cheek the shade of filal woe,
And heard sad echolng to the clouded sky,
The mournfu knell in dirgeike measures Aow.--
And there She lay, for whom such grief awoke,
Rent from the world while all around was fair,---
Ere from her brow the flush of health had broke,
Or wasting years had worn their trace Of care
Oh God if It's bitter thing to die,
TO creeping age, neglected and forlorn,
What must ii be where every tender tie
Is fresh and clustering 10 its baimy morn?
Yes,--tbere she lay!-and round her cotfin'd bed
Burst forth the piercing wall Of infant woes
While " Mother Mother !"-flpd the ear with dread
AS from those musings ruby lips it rose.
And was there aught amid that hearsed gloom,
In youths fond tear, manhoods deeper g.oan,
In smtten beauty, or the yawning tomb
That smote the soul like their wild, vailing tone?
For who TO them the hearts deep void shall fiji,
Wach Ger their cradle couch with sleepess care,
Lure the first lisp,-and sooth the fancied III,
Check the young fault, and bless the trembling prayer
mothers lo,e!-Go ask the buds that live
BY heavens pure dew yonder parchng hill
Ask the pale flower t at summer suns revive,
Fer some faint emblem of that holy THRILL -
The tickle dews may shun the plant that pines,
The lofty Sun forget the fowery glen,-
A Mrther', love with death alone declines,
And say ye white robd angels,-d,esa Men2

worse than useless. The best brushes seldom ad.

received the just sentence Of the law, which was

VUyhE Principal respectfully informs the nhabit-
ants Of Providence that limited number OF
nup,,. are received in the above School, where a
system of instruction is adopted, which elevates the
pupiIs character in the essential points OF useful
knowledge Intellectual culture and religious and
moral principle. The system of tuition adopted.
has been some time considered, in the cities in
England and Scotland particularly judicious and
excellent, in initiating the scholars attending 1t
into free and vigorous exercise of their under
standings in every thing they called to read
to perform-in imparting to them as much sub
stantal information as possible; all the subject
that are level to their capacities-in forming them
10 habits sfdligent application, as well US in cher
ishny in them the love of knowledse-and in in
stilling into their minds, both by separate lessons
and through the medium of their ordinary exer-
cises, the principles Of genuine christianity and
moral virtue.
Fully sensible of the solemn responsbiitie Of a
public teacher, the principal hopes most affection
ately faithfully and zealously to discharge these
important obligations; and perhaps he may not be
charged with presumption, if actuated by such
sentiments, he expresses the hope, and even the
conviction, Of being able to superintend the educa
ton of young persons with benefit to them and
honor to himself.
The principal submits the terms Of admission to
the school, which he hopes will meet general ap-
probation; and as he has had the experience of
some of the best schools, well as the most ap-
proved systems OF education in England, he flatters
himself, by unremtting assduity and attention, to
merit the support and suffrage OF the community at
large.

MRS. GENERAL JACKsoN.-A late number Of
the Allegheny Democrat, contains a TRADE Of
abuse against Mrs. Adam, lady Of the President,
and accuses her of having treated Mrs. General
Jackson with dsrespect, at the levees, whilst that
lady was at Washington, prior to the late Presi-
dental Election.
This story is circulated with unusual avidity by
the jackson presses Of the west, and we believe it
has not thus far been contradicted by any of the
Administration presses, as the tale is silly one
and carries on the face of it, its own refutation.
That Mrs. Adams, would treat any lady with dis.
respect, whilst receiving the hospitalties Of he'
house no one will believe, but those vulgar mind:
which consider her lady of their own stamp. Mrs
Adams is lady in every sense of the word, and her
long residence at the first courts ofEurope has given
her an acquaintance with the refnements and eti.
queue of society which are so perfectly novel and
sran ,e to Ms Jackson, that it likely she took the
courtsles of Mrs. Adams for insults.
Mrs. Jackson is an uneducated lady, whose ear
ly life was devoted to the farm house and to the
kitchen and being reared in a section of the coun-
try where she could not receive the advantages OF
an education it is rather her misfortune than her
fault, that she makes ludicrous figure at the le-
wees of Washington;--nor is it extraordinary that
some of the gay and gddy visitors ofthe Presidents
Levees, sometimes smile at her expense. But tina,
Mrs. Adams would, on any occasion, rdicule or
treat with dsrespect any of her visitors, is tale
too improbable and too silly to be listened to.
This story has been busily circulated in the
west, to arouse that feeling Of ofrepublcan simpli-
ciip which teaches the leveling system, and which
INDUCES and licences vituperaton and abuse.
