taw county, in healthy and retired spot

The next session will commence on the

ton, untiring perseverance, aud a peculiarly
happy mode of communicating knowledge, have
placed his schools among the 6rst In our coun-
try AS an Instructor, Mr.. Bayley is believed

ed to be of the highest order, and have secured
TO him deservedly hlgh rank among the htera-
ry men of our State and country. His ac-
quaintance with Ancient and some Modern

Philosophy, together with Rhetoric and Bellies

FOREVER THINE.

Forever thine! midst Fashions hesrtIess tlrong
In courtly bowers--st Folly's gilded shrine
Smiles on my cheek light words upon my tongue
My deep heart still is thine-forever thine!
Forever thine amid the boisterous crowd,
When the jest sparkies with the sparkling wine
may not name thy gentle name aloud,
But drink to thee in thought-forever thine
