Why Art Thou Away Ny Love.
By BEL.I.ETTI.
DEDICATED TO KATE.


'And Why art thou away, my love,
There's light in this our meeting place,
Tie moons most gentle light,
And many glittering star trace,
Through the leafy foliage bright;
I've stolen from the festal throng,
From the mrth and music gay,
And watched thy lingering footsteps long
And why art thou away
And why art thou away! my love?
IT'S said that man deep oath's of truth,
Will lightly, falsely speak,
And joy will pass from woman's youth,
And sorrow change her cheek;
But yeStel- we heard thy VOW,
The deepest words might say,
Icame to listen to thee now,
And why art thou away.
And why art thou away! my love?
The breeze sweeps with whisper past,
The pale low beuding flower,
well known step, Ihear at last,
Come vending to my bower
see the tangled branches part,
Jknew thou wOuld'st not stay,
felt thou would'st not break my heart,
Yet why so long away?

EDUCATION

Mr.. EDIToR:-One of your cores
ponden,s suggests the propriety of dis
cussing among other things. the subject
of educat tion in your columns; decmng
this an important subject, one in which
as community we are deeply interested,
l will with your permission give few
articles upon it. hoping that they will
not be altogether Improbable.
To lay foundation for our remarks,
it will be necessary first to define the
term education, and then to notice brief
ly some of those advantages which the
possession of education secures. Edu-
cation in its most extensive sense, is the
development and improvement of our
faculties. all that instruction which we
receive in agriculture, mechanism, COM
merce. medicine, law, politics, morality,
or religion, all these are embraced in ed
ucation; but for the purpose before US.
we will consider education as implying
the acquisition of useful knowledge, or
in other words the development and i'm
provement of our intellectual powers
That the mind is susceptib BILE of vast i'm
provement, will appear obvious to all
persons Of fdiscernment. The most learn
ed individuals the world can produce
were once ignorant, their knowledge was
confined to very narrow bounds, but ap-
plication to study has developed their
faculties, extended their knowledge, and
strengthened their mind, until they can
easily grapple with the most difficult
subjects; certainly the improvement of
ouy mental powers, is a matter in which
as beings designed TO exert an influence
in society, we should feel deep interest,
too much attention can hardly be given
to this subject. and we will now endeav-
or to point out some Of those advantages
which an extensive fund of useful infor
nation secures to the possessors.
lst. 1t furnishes the means for inter
esting and profitabl conversation, how
often have the ignorant, when brought
into society, been ashamed of their igno-
rance, how often have we seen persons

HOPE.

What is hope? guardian angel,
Sent to Soothe the trouble heart;
life would be lone, sad and cheerless,
Should each ray of hope depart.
What is hope? priceless treasure,
Shedding light DER al below;
Bcaming on the Saddened spirit,
Sweetly soothing pain and woe.
When mid scenes OF care or danger,
Doubt and fear our bosomS fill;
Though despair seems lowering DER us,
Hope! bright hope! is with us still.
When the heart is sad and weary,
Friends forsake, and joys decay;
Hope still faithful, gently whispers,
The cloud though dark, will pass away.
