Messrs. BENSON 81 GREEN:-The science
of music is considered an accomplishment,
without which, much comprising the pleas
urcs and embellishments of life would be
absent, and in the possession of which,
many momcnts--nay hours--pass off in
perfect felicity, accompanied by the simple
harmony of sweet sounds, either vocal or
instrumental.
This remark is induced by visit which
Mrs. and myself paid a few days
since to Howard College, in accordance
with an invitation kindly extended to u.s.
by the preceptress of the Female Depart
ment of that institution, that worthy and
accomplished matron, Mrs. ToRopE, who
besides the common literary qualifications
indispensable for the superintendent OF
female education, possesses also those ne.
cessary auxiliaries to success, tact and ad.
dress, without which all else were unavaila,
bic.
The young ladies and hildren COM
menCed their Friday evenings recitation OF
singing soon after we were seated, we and
enjoyed ourselves much during the hour de
voted to their melody. The perfect time
chord, harmony--the shrillness and com.
pass of the smaller and larger voices, COM
bined with the distinctness of cnunciation
and the spirit and zest with which the sew,
eral pieces were performed, gave full assur,
ance that they never can forget the schoo
hour pleasures in which they participated
during the leisure moments accorded tc
them (weekly) by Mrs. T. for their menta
relaxation in the form of musical recrea

Mcssrs. Benson & GREEN:-You ought

examination Of the schools of Messrs. Fos-

acquitted themselves in a style entirely sat-

of the School. The more lovely ones of
Mr.. Aehlc favored us with several well Sc
lectod and well sung songs--togcther with
specimens Of the most superior music from
the Piano Forte. The closing address of
Dr. CaIhoon--though not an able effort for
the Doctor--was yet appropriate and well
received. You lost rich treat by not be-

GOOD ADVICE.

The Charleston Mercury, in the course
of some remarks on the hard times and the
cure for them, gives the following sensible
advice which will apply pretty well to this
place:
Never conround economy, which is q
virtue, with siinginess, which is a vice, and
often the very opposite of economy. Make
your money before you spend it, and don't
buy thing because il is cheap; nor imag.
inc for moment, that extravaganza and
gentillty have any necessary, or sensible
connection. We have too many young
men among US, who seem to think idleness
badge of high life, and the best mark Of
finished manners to loaf about from one
place to another spending their Inheritance
on frlvollties, or more, running up debts
they are never going TO pay, for aught de-
ponds on them. If these would remember
that labour in this country is honor, and
idleness disgrace, and only spend on their
brains one half they waste on their backs.
the times would be as easy again as they
are and society be stocked with valuable
men to fill its high places, and lucrative
employments; whereas but too many we
see bartering their regulations for per-
ishabc dross, and melting their substance
away by keeping up blaze of gentilty
to the world, which little puff Of scorn
will soon extinguish, leaving nothing Of
them but an unsavory snuff. If we might
advise them, it would be in those lines Of
Ben Johnson, which we should like to see
stuck up at every popular lounge and fash
ionable corner of the whole town:
all have you sober, and contain yourself
Not that your sail be bigger than your boat
But moderate your expenses, now at first
As you may keep the same proportion still:
Nor stand so much on your gentility,
Which is an airy and mere borrowed thing
From dead mems dust and bones, and none Of
/ yours,

be wheedled into the support of man he
had laid aside in bestowng his preference
and support to Col. Johnson. Although
from our knowledge of him, we would not
be surprised at such course in him, we
believe our information cannot harm him
farther than the prostitution of principle
