telligence exalts the dignity and doubles

1T is sacred and home felt delight,

The foregoing thoughts on the impor.
lance Of female education, were suggested
a few evenings since, upon my visiting, in
company with friend, the female school,
about ten miles north Of Liberty, conduct
ed by Mrs. N. S. B. WEIR. This lady has
been teaching but about eight weeks, but
the progress her scholars have made in
that short time. shows that she is eminent
ly qualified for discharging the arduous
duties devolving on her as instructress,
and that she is worthy the liberal patron
age Of the community. The specimens Of
embroidery wrought by the young ladies,
were rich and beautiful, and every thing
connected with the school shows the grea-
test neatness and pains-taking care on
the part of the students and teacher.--
Would it not be considered nvidious, /
could here speak in high, but not undeser-
wing terms of the proficiency made by the
class engaged in Grammar. The difficult
ty in comPrehending the principles Of that
difficult but important science, appears to
have vanished under the lucid explana-
tons of the instructress, and the assidu-
GUS attentions Of the class which reflect
praise on each. Mrs. Weir np-
pears to be perfect mistress of the art

I've look'd on the rose, as in beauty it blush d
breathing its sweets, on the morn of MAY;
have wept it destroyed--the shower tina
rush'd,
Blasted its glories and swept them away;
thought of the time, when it hung ON the
bower,
The fairJst and loveIiest, sweetest wild flower
That e'cr bloom d or sunk in decay.
Thus | gazOd upon eloquent glories, when
ranging
Mid joys, and floating in liquid delight;
Thus hung Ger loy'd eyes and wopt DER them
changing,
From all that was tender and warm and
bright.
Thought of thy charms as of lost ocean trea
sure,
OF short days of bliss and their fast fleetinp
pleasure,
And thy bright lovelness sinking in night.
The rose is now gone! but the branch that once
bore it
Is hourshing luxuriantly,
And the rain from the stem that rushlessly
tore it,
Hath Strengthened the waving rose tree!
So, the fate whose rude hand extended to sever
My heart from the hope it abandons forever,
Shall strengthen the love that but blossomed
for thee. #.

PLE.'---lt is noble in its origin, for il
is born of the Christian religion. 1t is
exalted in its purposes for it seeks the
greatest good Of all mankind. The
foundation of Justice, it is no respecter
OF persons; but its protracting wing,
like the dew Of heaven, falls equally
upon all. 1t distinguishes not between
the prince and the peasant; for it is no
worshipper oftitles. 1t is as much the
friend of the poor as Of the rich, and is
not less the protector of the oppressed
than the enemy Of the oppressor. 1t
acknowledges no tyranny over the
mihd or body of man. is the foe of
despotism in every shape, and is the
friend of freedom every where-it is
freedom Itself 1t knows no bounds
for, like charity it is universal in its mo-
tives, and seeks to dispense its blessings
in every cline. Tyrants quake at its
approach, and quail before its frown-l
Thrones tremble to its touch, as i'll
smote BY the glance Of destiny. Su-
Perstition flies from it like the early
dew from the morning sun. The rub
Dish Of ages all the refined systems of
desPotlsm, crumble to atoms at its pre-. |
'ence. 1t has no deceit. It assumes
no artificial or unreal character. TEL
wears no borrowed or stolen l;v.rr
Il mas no triiing vanity. Its object is
not "emPty show" but the freedom and
happiness Of men. OF heaven it is

mans regeneration--and will live FORE
