 The village of Fair-Haven is pleasantly si- tuated, two miles east of Yale College, on a peninsula between the mouths of the Quinni- piac and Mill Rivers. Its distance from the city renders it comparatively free from those temptations attendant on city life, while at the same time it is not so great as to place its advantages beyond reach.
 The healthy and retired location of the in- stitutc renders it peculiarly adapted to litera- ry pursuits; and parents and guardians are assured, that constant attention will be paid to the manners, morals, intellectual and phy- sical culture of the pupils.

THE HOLLY TREE


o READER hast thou ever stood to see
The holly tree2
The eye that contemplatcs it, well perceives
Its glossy leaves
Ordered by an Intelligence SO wise,
AS might confound the Atheists sophstrios.
Below, a crcling fence. its leaves are seen
Wrinkled and keen;
No grazir cattle through their prickly round
Can reach to wound;
But as they grow where nothing is TO fear,
Smooth and unarmed the pointloss leaves appear
l love to view these things with curious eyes,
And moralize:
And in this wisdom of the holly tree
Can emblems see
Wherewith perchance to make pleasant rhyme
One which may profit in the after-time.
Thus, though abroad perchance might appear
Harsh and austere,
To those who on my leisure would intrudc
Reserved and rude,
Gentle at home amid my friends I'd be,
Like the high leaves upon the holly tree
And should my youth, as youth is apt, know
Some harshness show,
All vain asperties l day by day
Would wear away,
Till the smooth temper Of my age should be
Like the high leaves upon the holly tree.
And as when all the summer trees are seen
So bright and green,
The holly leaves their fadeless hues display
Less bright than they;
But when the bare and wintry woods we see,
What then so cheerful as the holly tree2
So serious should my youth appear among
The thoughtless throng,
So would | seem amid the young and gay
More grave than they,
That in my age as cheerful l might be
AS the green winter of the holly tree.

Tax Sission.-f suppose neither your.
self nor your readers have ever heard of
lax Sssion-and as he was quite an in.
tercsting character, | will give you short
account of him.
Thomas Sission, very wealthy
spectacle farmer, lived in Tive and re.
Island, before and during the American
Revolution. He had twelve slaves;-the
father, mother, and ten chldren-AmonR
the children was one called Tak-Tak
Sission. TAX, from early childhood to
adult age, could never be prevailed on to eat
any flesh meat; but he subsisted on yegcta-
BILE food and milk;-nether could he everb e
persuaded to eat hgh-seasoned food of any
kind. When he was d child, his parents
used to scold him severely, and threaten to
whip him because he would not eat flesh.
They told him if he did not eat meat, he
would never be good for anything; but
would always be poor puny creature.
But TAX persevered in his vegetable and
unstimulating diet; and to the surprise of
all, grew fast, and his body was finely
developed and atheletic; and he was very
strong and robust, and altogether the most
vigorous and active and dexterous of any
ofthe family. He finally became more than
six feet high, and every way we'll propor.
toned; and remarkable for his agility and
strength. He was SO uncommonly shrewd
and bright, and strong, and active, that no
became notorious for his shrewdness and
for his feats of strength and agility.
Indeed, he was so full of his playful mis-
chief, tina: he greatly annoyed the oversecr.
During the Revolution, TAX was sent by
his master into the army, to serve as a
substitute for another man who was drafted.
When Colonel Barton took General Pres
colt on Long Island, TAX was one Of Col.
BIS chosen men; and the one on whom he
most depended. Having entered the house
where Gen. p. was quartcred, Colonel B.,
followed by TAX and two or three others,
proceeded silently to the door of the cham.
Der where Gen. p. was sleeping. The
Colonel finding the door fastened, turned
and whispered to TAX I'll wish that door
opened, General Prescott taken, and carried
by the guard to the boat, without the least
noise or disturbances"
! TAX stepped back two or three PAGES,
then plunging violently against the door,
burst it open, and rushed into the middle OF
the room. AT the same instant General
Prescott sprang from his bed and seized his
gold watch, hanging upon the wall. TAX
sprang upon him like tiger, and clasping
the General in his brawny arms, and in a
low, stern voice" One word, and you are
dead man!' Then hastily snatchng
the generals cloak and wrapping it round
his body, and at the same time telling his
companions to take the rest of his clothes,
he took the General in his arms, as if q
child, and ran with him by the guard towards
The boat, followed by Colonel Barton and
the rest of his little company. | need add
only, that they succeeded in reaching the
boat and escaping from the Island with their
prisoner, without giving the least alarm.
TAX Sssion lived many years after the
close ofthe war, and attained to great age
remarkable through life for his activity

GTThe best thing about house, and the pref
