We find the following paragraph in
the Boston Evening Gazette.
"John Quincy Adams is passing an
honorable retirement in literary labors.
The life of his father is nearly ready for
the press. His leisure hours are, we I'M
derstand, employed in the preparation OF
some other productions, among which is
a poetical version of David's Psalms.
Judging from several occasional hymns
which have from time to time appeared,
we feel confident that this effort will be
highly creditable to the Termed and gift
ed author"

A PamphIetih relation to the Pauper
system has recently been published in
London, the author of which states that
the estimated public expense of support
ing the poor in England is seven millions
sterling per anntm, and the extent of
private charities equal to three millions
more, making the enormous sum of ten
million pounds, equal to forty. eight
millions of dollars. But this is not all.
He states that this vast expenditure does
np1 answer the purpose for which it is
made; for that still poverty and distress
every where prevail, accompanied, as
they are, by viceand immortality.

Springs up along the way their tender food.

The climbing sun has reached his highest bound.
Reposing as he lies
With all his flock around
lie witches the still air with modulated sound
From his sweet lutte flow forth
Immortal harmonies of power to still
All passions born of earth
And draw the ardent will
Its destiny of goodness to fulfill.

the aim of the Professors to carry into effect
the intentions of the Legislature, in such a

spect for the rights of humanity, and their in
