A PICTURE.

PICTURE.
The farmer sat in his easy chair,
Smoking his pipe Of clay,
While his hale old wife, with busy care,
Was clearing the dinner away.
A sweet little girl, with fine blue eyes,
On her grand pas knee was catching flies.
The old man placed his hand on her head,
With a tear on his wrinkled face,
He thought how often her mother dead
Had sat in the same, same place.
AS the tear stole down from his halfshut eye
"Don'tsmoke," said the child, show it makes
you cry"
The house-dog stretched out on the floor,
Where the sun, after noon, used to steal,
The busy old wife by the open door,
Was turning the spinning wheel
And the old brass clock on the mantetree
Had plodded along to almost three;-
Still the farmer sat in his easy chair,
While close to his heaving breast,
The moistened brow and the head so fair,
Of his sweet grand child were prest;
His head, bent down, on her soft hair lay
Fast asleep were they both on that summer
day!

Our Position FOR DEFENcE.--The De-
troit Advertiser, in allusion to the condition
of the frontier, says There are more then
a million who, in case OF war would arm, 81
quip and provision themselves, at their owp
expense, for six months. In Michigan alone,
we could turn out 10000. An army of 81
900 good stout and brave hearts, could be
congregated, ready for action, in Detroit, in
"a hours. The apprehensions of many there
fore, that. in case of war, all our frontier
towns would be pillaged and destroyed, IS
groundless. There are not RoYALIsTs enough
within two days march, in Canada, to do US
any harm, provided we have two or three

superior virtues in reproducing hair when it has
fallen out, keeping the head free from dandruff "a
most loathsome article on gentleman's coat COL
Iar,) and giving sofness and beautiful lustre un-
known before to the hair, has induced some per-
sons to get up and advertise many other articles for
the same purpose, none of which stand the test of
trial, protesting as most of them do, to be oils of
various kinds all Of which are positively iniur-
Gus to the human hair. Let none be deceived, no
other article will make the hair grow rapidly and
of good quality but the Balm of Columbia, and
no article purporting to be the Balm of Columbia
is genuine without the name of Comstock 81 Co.
on the outside wrapper. Some have been deceived
and obtained counterfeit article for the true and ge-
nuine Balm of Columbia Remember to look for the
name of Comstock g. Co. on the wrapper, before
you purchase, and get none but the genuine Don't

FAYETTE HIGH SCHOOL.

DURSUANT to public notice, previously given,
L. this Seminary will be opened on Monday, the
3D. day Of May, in the village of Fayette-and
while the principle sincerely tenders his acknowl-
edgements TO his friends, both in Howard and
Charlton counties, for past encouragement, he
trusts that his ultimate object, Chat of establish
ing an institution worthy Of the patronage of
those who may desire to give their children an
accomplished educaton) will not be frustrated for
the want of suitable liberaity on the part Of the
citizens of this and the contiguous counties.
If education is the handmade of religion. if it is
the preserver of law, if it is the supersructure of
morality, and the safeguard of liberty, then where
is the citizen who values his country, and chershes
his offspring, that will not come forward in this
noble cause, and thus contribute by his means, to
the welfare Of the one and the happiness Of the
other.
The discipline of the institution will be of that
combined character, which, while il resorts to rea
son aud pOliaEcSs, as the surest means of cor
recting and preventing abuses, will not be wanting
in that firnness Of purpose, at times so necessary
in preserving order.
In order to accommodate the community and to
create successful emulation among the pupils,
it is proposed to divide the institution into one
separate and entirely distinct departlnents--two
for males and the other for females.
The female department will be under the imme-
date care of Miss Anderson, subject however to
the supervision and control of the principal who
will himself instruct the young ladies in the higher
branches.
The male department will be under the care Of
the principal
The rules of discipline will be regularly read
and explained every Monday morning.
The reading of Compositions, oral Addresses
and the discussion of questions will take place or
Friday afternoon Of each week, when visitors are
invited TO attend.
