SCIENCE.

TEVHE Jefferson Academy, at Elyton, un- -E der the Superintendance of C. G. Me PETERSON, A. B. has commenced its second session, with the most fattering prospects. Although in its infancy, such is the confidence the public entertain of the fitness and qualif- cations of the conductors of this institution, that. it now numbers between fifty and sixty students, of which about twenty are engaged in the Latin and Greek languages.
 TERMS PER SESSION OF FIVE MONTHS. For spelling, reading and writing. ........6 % English Grammar, Geography, Arith-
 metic, 8c. ....................... % Languages and other higher branches..12 % Board can be had at respectable houses at from six to eight dollars per month.
 The Trustees have employed the Rev JOHN WILLIAMS as an assistant teacher, which enables MT McPHERsoN to devote his atten- tion principally to the students engaged in the higher branches.
 A strict course of moral department is ob- servable in this institution, with strong de- sire to make each student thorough in what he may learn; and from its healthy situation, the cheapness of board, and it's incipient pros perity, the trustees feel justified in recom- mending it to the patronage of all persons wishing to educate their children.
 By order of the board,

 President of the board of Trustees. PETER WALKER, Sec'y. Idec17 37

EYHE friends and patrons of this institution
 H are hereby informed, that the Trustees having concluded an arrangement, with MT. G. D. MuRPHEY, to take charge of and con- duct the school to be taught therein, it will open for the reception of pupils between the first and fifteenth of the present month. The Trustees believe that they are justified in assuring the public, that the arrangement now made will be permanent; and that the school will be conducted in manner that will command the confidence and appreciation of all who may send their children to it. MT MURPHEY will have associated with him, fe male teachers of the best requirements and capacity, in connexon with whom he will be able to teach all the branches of female edu- cation. including the elementary, literary, and scientific, useful and ornamental branches. The prices will be the same as them of the Tuscaloosa Female Academy, which are something lower than those heretofore charg ed in the Greensborough Female Academy.
 The health, society, and situation of the village of Greensborough vicinity are so we'll known, that it is deemed needless to say any thing on the subject.
 Good board, at moderate prices, can be had in genteel families in the village and neigh borhood. By order of the board,

It IS said that dlStllling spirits destroys, to a great extent, the bounties of Providence. by diminishing the quantity of grain. Does not the excessive raising of cotton likewise create scarcity of breadstuffs and other arti- cles of food? Do not many men who are joining
 in hue and cry against the poor distillers, drive their slaves, halffed and scarcely cloth ed, through cold and heat, sick or well, with merciless severity, to raise more cotton and enable them to buy more property? Let us remember, that God will not be mocked, and that in the same sentence it is said, that nei- ther the "coUetou8 nor drunkards, nor repi- iers nor ertortioners shall inherit the king dom of God" Cor vi, 10. Here indeed drunkenness is forbidden, as well it might be, but those whoa are heaping up wealth to them selves by e:rtortion or oppression, find little encouragement for reviling their honest neighbors who are engaged in an industrious calling, under the pretence of suppressing drunkenness by rendering it impossible to get drunk. Again, St. Paul says, ''be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess, but be filled with the spirit" Ephes. V. IS.
 I have said that there is no sin in the use either of money or of spirits, in themselves considered. St. Paul, in his epistle to the Romans, xiv, fl, says, '1 know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself; and to him that es- teemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean." lfthen any person esteem spirits to be unclean, let them use them not. We will not condemn them for their abstinence. But if we who endeavour to use this world as not abusingit it, are so fortunate as to hold the reins of self government over our capacities, and to keep all things within due bounds, say ing, "hitherto shalt thou go and no fur ther," according to the true law of tempe rance, let no one say to us 'swe are holier than thou," and by anathemas and lines of distinction, undertake to exclude us from the society of Christians, and to deprive us even of the privileges of citizens. Let your thun- ders roar against the drunkard and the in temperate of every description, and you may have our aid But condemn not our mode ration, by your rigid law of abstinence, and especially avoid reviling your honest indus trious brethren and their innocent and help less families. Beware how you rank some of our most respectable and conscientious far mers, with murderers and midnight assas- sins. Remember, that if you wilfully offend your bretheren without a cause, you offend your God. Recollect the awful woes pronounced upon those who defame and speak ill of their neighbors. Reflections like these should incline every man of Chris tian spirit and every professor of Chrstani- ty to spare the feelings and the characters of his bretheren though they may be unwilling to join what they consider an improper and illiberal socety-a combination of men un- warranted by history or holy writ.

From the New-York American. A REFLECTION.

 Ifthose bright orbs that gem the night, Be each blissful dwelling sphere, Where kindred spirits re-unite,
 Whom fate has torn asunder here How sweet it were at once to die,
 And leave this dreary world aiar- Meet soul and soul and cleave the sky, And soar away from star to star But, oh how dark how drear and lone, Would seem the brightest world of bliss, If, wandering through each radent one,
 We failed to meet the loved ofthis!- Ifthere no more those ties could twine,
 Which death alone had power to sever, Those stars would then in mockery shine More hateful-as they shine for ever It cannot be each hope and fear
 That lights the eye or clouds the brow, Proclaims there is happier sphere
 Than the bleall world which claims us now There is voice, by sorrow heard,
 When heaviest weighs life's galling chain, That voice is the Almighty word
 "The pure in heart shall meet again.
