SOMETHING CHEAP.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.


There's not cheaper thing on earth,
Nor yet one half so dear;
'Tis worth more than distinguished birth,
Or thousands gained year;
II lends the day new delight;
Ills virtues firmest shield;
And adds more beauty TO the night
Than all the stars may yield.
1t maketh poverty content.
To sorrow whispers peace!
It is gift from heaven sent
For mortals TO increase.
II meets you with a smile at morn,
II lulls you to repose;
A flower for peer or peasant born,
An everlasting rose.
A charm to Danish grief away,
To snatch the trown from care;
Turn tears to smiles, make dullness gay,
Spread gladness every where;
And vet Ills cheap as summer dew,
That gems the lily's breast;
A talisman for love, as true
AS ever man possessed.
AS smiles the rainbow through the cloud,
When the threatning storm begins;
AS music mid the tempest loud,
That still It's sweet way wins;
AS springs an arch across the lide,
Where waves conflicting foam,
So comes this seraph to our side,
This angel Of our home.
What may this wondrous spirit be,
With power unheard before?
This charm, this bright divinity!
Coon TEMPER, nothing more!
Good Temper-'tis the choicest gift
That woman homeward brings;
And car the poorest peasant lift
To bliss unknown to kings.

WASHINGTON -ALExANDRIA-LIT-
ERATURE.

hnA OhE.
s. Ma. .EDlToR: We have had an opporlu-
nifty recently of making some observations re-
lating 10 the condition of things, generally, IN
the city Of Washington, and, also, in Alex
andria. We found Washington to be place
of hurry and buslle. The great Avenue is a
perfect ,horoughfare for every description OF
vehicle, and for all classes OF persons. There
you may amuse yourself. if you can be
amused at such things, by observing the ele-
gantly atlired and the Extensively ragged; the
beautiful and sprigh,ly, the dull and the ugly
miniature picture Of this great world, with
its lights and shades. 4a
Alexandra is quiet town the streets cross
ing each other at right angles; some of them
wide aud beautiful. Many Of the buildings
are quite handsome, and elegantly adorned
with pine trees and delightful shrubbery, in
large surrounding lots and gardens. The So
ciely here is excellent This community pos
sesses many valuable traits of character, such
as must make residence among them more
than ordinarily pleasant. We were delighted
with the literary institutions which are located
in this quiet and peaceful city. II abounds
with valuable schools for the education of
youth of both sexes. We became more fa-
miliar with two OF these excellent boarding
schools than with the others.
Mrs. Kesley, the widow Of the Rev. VIM.
Kesley, gentleman long and iavorably known
as a minister Of the Methodist Protestant
Church, has established in this town most
admirable boarding school for females. This
energetic and excellent lady has. with per-
severance deserving high commendation, Sc
cured fine spacious buildings on one of the
loveliest streets in the town, where she is well
prepared to accommodate young ladies' who
may be committed to her care as boarders and
scholars. The ladies' she has employed as
teachers to assist her are amiable and accom-
plshed. II is really delightful TO witness the
operation of her school, and to see how much
superior the advantages her pupils enjoy over
those in ordinary schools.
The other literary establishment TO which !
refer, is The ".alerandria academy" The build
log is very superior, and admirably calculated
for comfort and convenience.
Mr.. Robert L. Brocket, the principal, is
genllman Of acknowledged ability and high
standing He is assisted by two excellent
young men, one of whom is a superior lin
guisl, and thorough scholar. This is a board
ing school where boys and young gentlemen
may be most pleasantly accommodated and
handsomely educated; where their health, com
fort, and morals, will be regarded with pa
rents solictude and vigilance. 1t is much to
be regretted that parents, residing where they
have not the advantages of COED schools, do
not send their sons and daughters where they
would be thoroughly instructed in all the
branches Of a complete education ; and where
their morals and manners could not fail TO be
improved. A good education, with less mo-
ney, is certainly much more desirable than
li,tle more money with defective education.
