parents aud heads of families. Do not
look on teacher OF music, male or ie.
male, in the use of the voice or instru.

something which is not an equivalent to
the compensation asked. The livelihood
Of a good teacher of music is as honestly
earned as that Of person in any other
profession, which deals with the mind aud
cultiyates the taste.

THE FALLS OF NIAGARA.-A Lock
port paper says that the Falls present at
this time a spectacle Of unusual magnifi.
cence. On the American side the spray
has formed an immense mass of ice, ex-
tending nearly across the foot Of the fall,
and more than hundred feet in height.
From the summit Of this mountain Of ice
the spray rises like smoke from volca-
no. The fall between Goat Island and
the Tower is encrusted with ice, except
a space some twenty feet in width, mid
way in its descent. Below are enormous
and fantastic shapes Of ice-mounds, cav
erns, grottoes; against the dark rock OF
the island hang icicles thirty and forty
feet in length, Of the purest white and
blue--the river itself flashing with ice
broken into innumerable fragmenss--snd
the rainbow spanning the whole, present
a scene surprising the widest dreams Of
the Imagination.

and falsehood. never said it, nor any

objects of my whole public life which OBJ
ject has been 10 improve the condition OF
the industrious classes, to increase their
information, and promote their indepen'

ished by me not only from benovocnce
and kind feeling towards the great mass

fullest conviction, that, ps a great political
principle, in a country where suffrage is so
nearly universal, we must always look,
