ST. MARY,S COUNTY MD

VIE Trustees take pleasure in announcing to the
IL public that this institution is now, in every re-
spect, prepared for the reception of pupils Origi-
mating in the patriotism of the Legislature and
founded by the patronage Of the State, it presents
advantages and attractions rarely enjoyed by similar
establishments. The beautiful and commodoue
building is situated on the commanding site of the
old Provincial capital at st. Mary's, remarkable
like for its beauty its heathfulness and its facility
of access and affords ample accommodations for al
least eighty boarders In the spirit of toera-
ton which first emanated from that sacred spot, il
has no especial connexion with any favored sect
but is conducted upon the most liberal principles OF
Christianity, the moral and religious education Of
children of different persuasions being equally
though carefully attendeda

and wash room abunda1 18th both warm
and cold water; whilst han an hundred
yards there are convenle on clean and bold
shore for salt water bathing during the summer sea-
son. The boarding department is under the control
of gentleman in whose character, management
and attention, aided as he will be by his amiable
wife, the trustees have entire confidence. The pu-
pills. however, will be at all times under the imme-
date of the teachers who have charge of their
religious we'll as intellectual education In max
ing their selection the trustees have not only been
fortunate in obtaining ladies of the highest quali-
cations and accomplishments, but also of different
creeds, that it will be the duty of each to impart
religious instruction to the children of their respec
tive persuasions.
Although the remarkable healthfulness of the
situation would seem to render the precaution I'M
necessary, yet to obviate an objection Which some
parents in the more elevated regions of the State
might have to sending their children to tide water
section, the trustees have resolved to allow but
vacation, and for that to embrace the only season
during which malarious sickness prevails even in
the least favored parts of the county. The scholas
tic year will terminate on the first Friday after the
18th of July, and the regular of instruction
be suspended for two months thereafter.
The Seminary is already of convenient access both
by the Potomac and Patuyent steamboats,, and will
soon become still more so by the completion of a
wharf Immediately on the spot, at which steam
boat is expected to call at least twice week.
All the instruments and apparatus necessary for
the illustration of Chemistry, Astronomy, and the
various other branches of natural science, are fur
nished without extra charge; and indeed the nsti-
tuition being established entirely for the public good
and not for private or individual emolument, there
as few charges possible and all reduced to the
very lowest rates.
Applications for admittance or other information
should be made to the Principal.

The woman best calculated to please, is
she who possesses the greatest versatility OF

LOUISIANA Moss.-LTh: Planters Ban

tract from Il work on agTcultule which u
gentleman in the parish of st. Mary is
writing
AS an article Of winter food for cattle,
we wonId strongly rhcom2nend the common
moss that grows SO iu~Nuriantlyon our trees.
1t possesses great nutrient properties, Is
~succulcnt, and is eagerly sought after by
cattle. As an article Of. food, it is far STU
pctior 20 the common crab grass hay. 1t
can be procured with much more case, and
in far greater abundance, and it requires
neither the trouble Of ha5Iing or houseing.
The cattle will follow the feeder and eat it
readily from the ground, as it is thrown
down to them. Thus, nature, not satisfied
with covering the fields Of Louisiana with
a luxuiance of vegetation unrivalled, save
on the banks Of the Nile, has hung up a
winter harvest for her in the very air itself

that he has already engaged as many Of

Meath aow'ring bough
Days of old when
The heart was light, and world was bright /;
The souls high hopes hath wing'd their

How oft since then
Remember'st thou
The may dance ?the walk at eve
Do they on thy remembrance leave
No traces now?
I'll ne'er forget
Those hours they are sweet as the tones,

To memory yet.
Parted to meet,
When years had pass'd-we met again;
And thy voice was as some glad strain
OF music sweet.

And love thee yet though times swift wings
Hath onward swept, still memory brings
Sweet thoughts OF thee.
And now farewell;
When far from thee, my heart Is sad

The lone sea shell.
And as that shell
Means, when from ocean It's absent long
So my heart pours forth to thee in song
This last farewell, Il. TF*
