FORGET THE PAST.

Forget the past! 'Twere vain to try;
My thoughts will dwell on scenes gone by
The time--the place-when first we met,
Are things | never can forget
Can forget that calm still night,
When, by the moon and stars so bright,
You told me all your hopes were set
On one you never would forget.
But you are changed, and l must bear
The trials others may not share:
The withered heart and vain regret
Are things we seldom can forget.

TO THE FRIENDS OF EDUCATION
GENERALLY-AND THE PATRONS
OF HOWARD HIGH SCHOOL IN PAR
TICULAR

" nv AMI HUH SC1OOL I'm PAk-
T1CULAR.
We, the undersigned, members Of The Com.
mittee appointed 10 attend the Examination Of
Howard High School, take pleasure in stating
to all concerned, that the Examination of the
various classes in this Institution, at the close
OF the lest term, was most thorough in the various
branches OF study, and evinced most clearly
that both teachers and pupils, had laboured as.
siduously during the past term; not merely to
store the memory, but to secure to the pupils a
correct knowledge Of the various branches taught
in the School. The examination was at once
creditable to the students and their faithful and
able teachers, as also highly gratifying to the
patrons Of the Institution.
The Exercises Of the last evening in the
judgment OF your Committee, were especially
interesting The original pieces spoken by the
young gentlemen, and the compositions read by
the young ladies', were at once highly creditable
to the heads and hearts OF their authors and
furnished an intellectual and moral feast to the
vast assembly of spectators in attendance-while
the specimens OF music on the piano, conribu-
ted much 10 the interest of the occasion.
Your Committee are pleased to testify that the
COURSE OF STUDY, THE MODE OF INSTRUCTION
AND DISCIPLINE, Of the Howard High School,
are such as they should be, and must insure to
the faithful student sound and useful Educa
ton
1t will be seen by the Annual Catalogue,
that the Institution is on the advance, not
only in respect Of numbers. but also in the
means Of efficiency and usefulness especially
In the acquisition Of apparatus to facilitate
the study Of the natural sciences. The services
also, Of the very highly accomplished teacher
Of the ornamental branches will, we doubt not,
add very much 10 the success Of the institution.
Your Committee would, therefore, with in.
ereasing confidence in the ability Of the Insti.
tuition, most earnestly recommend the Howard
High School, as worthy OF public confidence
and patronage.

HENRY CLAY,

We find the following very handsome and
happy tribute TO Mr.. Clay, in the Baltimore
Sun-a paper which though pretty impartial has
good many Democratic correspondents and
perhaps Democratic editor:
There is magic in the name OF this great
man and distinguished statesman inconcevable
10 any mind uniformed by ecual experience.
1t is scarcely possible that degree Of enthu.
siasm surprising that by which he was received
10 the hearts of the immense multitude assem-
bled to honor his arrival in our city on Tuesday
evening last, can ever have been displayed by
popular acts and expression. We may admire
the refined panegyrc OF personal regard, or the
active esteem which dis phi avs itself in the spon
taneous gift prompted by generous disposition,
but all this is feeble, even irsipid compared
with the ardent, gushing, uncomfortable love
and admiration Of that animated, ponderous mass
Of men, that moved like an ocean with its an
them Of Joy round about his wsy, from the place
OF his landing 10 the house Of his repose on
Tuesday night. We thought of the sentiment
he once expressed himself--"Had ever man
such friends as Henry Clay?" Why, they revelled
in the knowledge Of lis presence, who could
neither see his face nor hear the sound Of his
voice. They ventured life and limb for a
glimpse OF his venerable countenance, or for
the leeblest accent Of his lips, apparently with.
out though, Of peril. And thus honored, thus
beloved, yet with retirement altogether in
compatible with the popular desire, did this great
ard good man pass through our city.

Longevity Of the Damask Rose.-A cor.
respondent OF the Burlington Gazette says
there is rose bush houriShng at the resi-.
dence of A. Murray M'llvane, near Bris.
toll, Pennsylvania, known to be more than
a hundred years old. In the year l742
there was kitchen built, which enroached
on the corner of the garden, the masons
laid the cornerstone with great care, say.
ing cit was a pity to destroy so pretty a
bush" Since then, it has never failed 10
produce prolusion Of roses, shedding
around the most delicious Of all perfumes.
Sometimes it has climed for years over the
second story windows, and then declined
by degrees to the ordinary height. The
fifth generation is now RECALLED with its
sweets. Not far from this venerable bush.

Of the stock on hand is held much higher rates,

through the week, of $50 pieces at l34c. and $50

at 53c. The receipts and shipments this week
have not been large. The amount of stock on
