MAXIMS ON EBRIETY.

Drunkenness expels reason; browns the memory ;
detaces beauty; diminishes strength; nlames the
bloOdj causes internal external and ncurable wounds
is witch to the senses devil to the soul thief to
the purse; beggar's companion: a wife's woe, and
childreD's sorrow; the picture of beast, and self
murderer; who drinks to others good health, robs
himself of his own.
Beware of drunkenness lest every good man be-
ware of youi when drunkenness regns then reason is
an exile; virtue stranger; God an enemy; blasphe-
my is wit; oaths are rhetoric and secrets procla-
nations.

High School at Ne,o- Haven.-We are happy to hear
that Messrs. Serene E. Dwight, and Henry E. Dwight
OF New Haven, have purchased the large building in
that place called the Steamboat Hotel, with some
adjoining land, for the establishment of new school

known talents Of these gentlemen and the great adj

Europe for making themselves acquainted with the
best method Of instruction, cannot fail we think to
crown their enterprise with success, and shall hope
to be able to explain the principles and economy of
their institution more fully hereaier.--Jouynal of
