CHILDHOOD.

CHILDHOOD.
Childhood is like the laughing hours
OF early Spring.
The very cloud that DER it lowers
A charm can bring;
For, like an April sky,
A shower, sunny raw,
So the bright tear in childhood's eye
A smile can chase away.
But even whilst we gaze
Those early days are gone,
And soon the glow lug rays
OF Summer hasten on:
The bud hath opened to the flower,
The boy 10 manhood sprung.
And from his hear, sins dark'nin power
Its bitterness hath wrung.
He dreams that he can win from fame
An honored, deathless name;
Aud toll"wing glory's banners bright,
He finds an early grave;
but inemOry enshrouds i'm night
The last hope Of the brave.
tie IS tOrgOtten-o'er his bier
No nations tears are shed;
Naught, save widowed mothers tear.
Laments the hero dead.
The poet strikes his lutte
Sweet thrill its golden strings;
Bu, public praise is mute
His lay no rapture brings.
Aud mnurnfnlly his heart
Echoes its tender tone,
His airy dream, depart,
His hope OF fame has flown. m
Like an expanded flower,
Whose leaves fall one by ono,
Hope fades meath disappointment power
Till manhuod's prime is gone.
And age, like Autumn, chill and sero.
Scasters each fading leaf,
'Fill not one flower remains TO cheer
Tho path Of life 80 sadly drear,
And yet so brief-
Till all the weary hear, would crave
Is but rest from woes
The coming winter Of the grave,
Its snow around him throws
And even thus from, youth to age,
Man treads his weary pilgrimage.

LowndesviIle Academy.

Wiz exercises Oi this institution will TO re-
i sumed on the second Monday in January
next, under the care Of the Req. Huiam III.
Harris, as Principal and Classical Teacher, and
Mr.. Abraham Cunningham. as Teacher OF the
English Department.
The Trustees feel 10 hesitation in saying
that these gentlemen are az competent TO the
discharge OF the duties Of their RESPECTIVE. de.
partmen,s, as any to be found in the upper
country nd that they will spare no pains to con.
tinme to merit the high stand, which has been
awarded to them rs Teachers.
As the impression atlpad respecting the
health of Abbevillc DisHl&k, is unfavorabie, we
deem it necessary to say. that Lowndesville
and its vicinity. are as healthy rs anv section of
the upper country. The Village il situated on
n high and dry ridge. remote from any standing
water, as well as all causes Of disease; it must
therefore continue TO be healthy.
In point of morality. wi, ieve it is gener.
ally conceded, that there is no section of coun-
try more exempt, from all nlccmcnt to vicious
habits, than this. We would hazard the asser
ton, that we stand unrivaled in this particular.
Excellent Boarding can be had in the Village
and vicinity. at 90 per month.
The School will continue the common Scho-
lastic year.
