"This is, beyond all comparison, the most brilliant of the

SDOYEC FOLUHE OF THE
SOUTHERN SENTINEL.

This journal is row in the second volume of its existence,
and with every Indication of continued prosperty-in fact
its renovated and healthy appearance. must not only be
conclusive evidence Of Its success and stability, but, the I'M
dersigned trusts, likew ise gives full surety that unremitting
energy and industry have been ever present, not only in su-
periniending its mechanical department, but in u~pholding
and vindicating those principles which the Wings claim as
the true foundation OF our Republican Institutions.
The present cigactte at the head of the Sentinel is suhi.
cient violence Of the confidence thai is rerosel in the hero.
now at the head Of this nation, who took upon himself the
responsibility at the battle Of Buena Vista! His career SO
far has been marked by DECISION, equity, and goodness OF
heart and with Il determination on his part to act as the Pre-
sident Of this Republic, as the Constitution, circumstances
and requirements demand of him, the better to secure the
advantage and permaneDce of those views and principles
as laid down in his Inaugural address. And having full
faith in the purity Of his enlightened mind, what caro- the
friends Of ZACHARY TAYLOR for the hatred, sauiers and
vituperation, so Indignantly hcapcd upon him daily by the
opposition press throughout the country? UndIsturbed as
the quiet lake by the mountain torrent that roaring leaps
into its peaceful bosom, will be the Chief Magistrate of this
nation by the low, selfish and windy attacks of those who
have arrayed themselves as his opponents.
The Sentinel, asst will be perceived, is clothed in an entire
new dress, and having the advantage of being published in
about the centre of the State, offers superior advantages to
city advertisers, as highly acceptable medium for bringing
their business Gin either ~ianguage) prominently before the
planters and other residents of the interior; and the I'M
d~ersigned hopes that his New Orleans friends, as well as
those at horne, will continue to exteud him those favors SO
literally bestowed heretofore he viii strive to deserve them.
As Family Paper, the Sentinel will challenge its superb
or in the interior Of Louisiana. Equally as the sentinel on
the watchtower of our political rights, will it be the guar
dian of that mora. tone and sentiment which give character
dignity and safety TO a Immunity creating respect from
abroad, happiness and prosperity at home.

The BOOK LETTER of this Foundry

Printers is solicited, before purchasing else
where. All articles manufactured at this Foun-
derry shall be of a material equal if not SUPERB
or to any manufactured at the North; and as
they will be furnished at New York prices, the
proprietor Of this new enterprise trusts to
meet with due encouragement.
The subscriber is also agent for the sale OF
Napier, Washington and Smith PRESSES.

T. F. JOHNSON, A. NJ, Principal and Prof
of Mathematics.

Modern Languages.
CHARLES FRITZ, Esq, Prof: of Instru.
mental and Vocal Music.
Misses C. STANWOOD, H. B. STANWOOD
and C. LANGDON, Assistants
The Principal has been teaching twenty
years, uninterruptedly; having occupied impor'
tant Professorships in several colleges in Vir
ginia, (his native State,) and Kentucky.
Mr.. Swift graduated at Yale College, and
has become eminent as a teacher.
Mr.. Newell graduated in the City of Paris,
and has filled the chair of Languages in sever,
al colleges of high repute.
Mr.. Fritz, a German gentleman of fine ac-
quirements, has been connected with this Insti-
tuition six years, and has turned out some of
the best performers on the Piano to be found
in the United States.
The Misses Stanwood graduated at the eel
ebrated Female Seminary at Ipswich, Mass
The elder has been the Principal Assistant in
this Institution for the last eight years. Miss
Langdon has been a very popular teacher in
Cincinnati and Kentucky for six years past; the
last two years in this Institution.
The Female Collegiate Institute was organ
lied in 1888, and has enjoyed without any fiuc-
t%uations, an unusual share of public favor, ay-
eraging for the ten years past about one hun
dred pupils.
Il is furnished with a fine Philosophical and
Chemical Apparatus, a Select Library, &c, and
affords unusual facilities to students of Music,
French, Spanish, and the like. It is entirely
free from all s~ectarian bias-the pupils being
permitted to attend any place of worship pre-
scribed by their parents, and the teachers be-
longing to four or five different denominations.
To prevent competition in dress, clothing of
a uniform style and quality has been prescribed,
and jewelry of every description prohibited.
Vacation holds from Christmas to the lst of
March; but those pupils who remain through
the vacation, are as regularly instructed, if de-
sired, as during term time. All pupils from a
distance are required to board in the Institute,
under the immediate supervision of the teach
erS.
The Principal might refer to hundreds of
prominent individuals throughout the Western
and South Western States, but he presumesit
to be entirely unnecessary, after having taught
at the same point, with most signal success,
for nearly twenty years.
Georgetown is accessible by daily Stages and
Steamboats, from Louisville and Cincinnati. 1t
is seventeen miles from Frankfort, and is adj
mitted to be one of the healthiest locations on
the Globe. -
TERMS:
Per Session, for Board and Tuition, $50
For Mu2h,4 25
For French, &c, &c, 10
There are many Female Seminaries in the
West, in which the expenses of a pupil Ray
be $40 or 500 per session less than the above;
but, in very few of these, it is confidently as
serted, will the fare be found so good-the ca
paaz invested so large-and the reputation Of
the Teachers so distinguished.

To PRESERVE CLoTHEs.-As clothes, when
laid mp for u time acquire an unpleasant odour,
which requires considerable exposure to the at
m~ospcric air to remove, it can be prevented by
laying humps Of recently made charcoal between
the folds Of the garments: and even when the
odor is already fixed, the charcoal will absorb it.

often the devil slides down. in the liquor; excess
in meat and drink clouds the mind, chokes good

Thy name, oh, how dear,
1t brings a sweet sadness,
A smile and a tear;
And thoughts of thee ever
With memory's tide
Come brightly, as wave-lIke
They fast by me glide.
The hours Of my boyhood
Have faded away,
Like stars when they vanish
At breaking of day!
Those moments so tranquil
Forever are fled
And loved ones are sleeping
Alas, with The dead!
The hours of my boyhood
Are vanished away;
They glittered as dew drops,
AS brief We're their stay.

The church and the stream,
And faces fit by ME
