notices
u From, the National Intelligencer.
Love AND PATR,oTIsM, a Poem, pronounced by
Richard s. Evans, at Bowdoin College, at the annual
commencement Portland-Charles Day & Co.,
printers.
The above is the title of poem, by Richard s.
Evans of Washington, which has been just published
in Portland, Maine. The following remarks upon
this performance, are from the Portland Daily Ad-
vertiser, of September I. 1t was amusing to listen
to the observation to this performance. Nonsense,
says Beautiful adds another. Horrible, splen-
did, silly, and grand, were epthets profusely avished
Surely that man is poet who gains such praise and
such abuse. And verify we believe Evans can and
did write poetry. There were parts OF this Poem
which appeared pure and gorgeous poetry; for in
stance tie allusion to the American Bird in connex-
ion with Poland Campbell himself has not done
better, sc.
From the Globe.
The following brief alIusion TO Poland, is from
Eyanss Poem on Love and Patriotism, production
which is very highly praised, &c.
From The alerandria Gazette.
Mr.. Richard s. Evans is gentleman who has
long occupied conspicuous station as an anonymous
writer, in of the principal literary journals
and to whom the world is indebted for some of the
finest specimens of poetry and learning &c.

STORY OF A BEAR.

Manv wears ago a beautiful little cub bear was
caught by stout lad near the borders of Lake
Winnpiseogee, in New Hampshire, carried into
town, and, after proper drilling, became the play
fellow Of the boys of the village, and often accom-
panied them to the schoolhouse. After passing
a few months in civilized society, he made his
escape into the woods, and after few years was
almost forgotten. The schoolhouse, meantime,
had fallen from the schoolmasters into the school
mistresss hands; and instead of large boys learn
ing to write and CIPHER, small boys and girls were
taught in the same place knitting and spelling.
One winters day, after mild fall of snow, the
door had been left open by some urchin going out,
when, to the unspeakable horror of the specialized
dame and her fourscore hopeful scholars, an en-
sormous bear walked in in the most familiar man.
mer in the world, and took seat by the fire.
Hu1dling over the benches as fast as they could,
the children crowded about their schoolmistress,
who had fled to the farthest corner of the room ;
and there they stood, crying and pushing to es-
cane the horror Of being eaten first. The bear
sat snuffing and warming himself by the fire,
showing great signs Of satisfaction, but putting
off his meal until he had warmed himself tho
roughly. The screams of the children continued,
but the schoolhouse was far from any other habi-
tation. and the bear did not seem at all embar-
rassed by the outcry. After sitting and turning
himself about for sometime, bruin got up upon
his hind legs, and showing to the door, began to
take down, one by. one, the hats, honnets, and
satchels that hung on several rows of pegs be-
hind it. His memory had not deceived him, for
thew contained, as Of old the childrens' dinners,
and he had arrived before the holidays. Having
satisfied himself with their cheese, bread, pies,
doughnuts, and apples, Bruin smeIt at the mis-
tress's desk; but finding it licked, gave himself
a shake Ct resignation, opened the door. and dis
appeared. The alarm was given, and the amia-
bic creature was pursued and killed, very, much
to the regret Of the towns people, when It was
discovered, by some marks in his body, that it
was their old friend and playfellow. Raa
