pleasing manners, and an income Of about a

In springs young balmy time,
when every blossom seems bride,
And waters flow in rhyme.
The birds were warbling in the bow'rs,
The dew slept on the spray,
And nature sought in vain with flowers
To rival Agnes May.
When winter from its silent wing
Had shed the stainless snow,
And crowned each forest tree king,
And sealed the wild brooks low,
My footsteps sought her quiet home,
But sadly turned away
Alas that | should live to come
And find not Agnes May.
She sleeps beneath the withered grass.

Lake Erie--A Song.
BY C. $ PERcivAL,

BY the shore Of the low moaning Erie,
We wandered by night and alone,
Whenits heart seemed oerburdened with sadness
And its voice had sorrowful tone.
The waves that, in mournful succession,
one by one DER the white pebbles beat
Each whispered ." farewell to the other
And mutely expired at our feet
But the moon DER the desolate waters,
Looked down with radiant smlle,'
And the foam-crested pillows were lighted
With halo of glory the while
And tho wavelets that broke Ger the pebbles,
Transmitted to silver and gold,
Flushed back o. er the lake, cen in dying,
A light that was fair TO behold.
BY the shore of the low-moaning Erie,
As we wandered by night and alone,
Our hearts were o'erburdened with sadness
And our words had a sorrowful tone
For hopes, which, thro long summers cherished
A charm DER our hearts had acquired,
Each whispered &" farewell " 10 the other,
Sank back, like the waves, and expired
But love. o er our desolate spirits,
Looked down with its heavenly smile.
And the dark heaving pillows of sorrow
Were bright in its glory the while.
And hopes that too fondly we cherished,
Though fated their life to resign,
Shed over our hearts, ev'n in dying,
A halo of beauty divine.

The earth hath treasures air and bright,
Deep buried in her caves,
And ocean hideth many gem,
With his blue curling waves
Yet not within her bosom dark,
Or meath the dashing foam,
Lives there a treasure equalling

True sterling happiness and JOY
Arc not with gold allied,
Nor can it yield pleasure like

Drawing and Writing.

Hon. Horace Mann, late Superintendent
of the Massachusetts Schools says, in a re-
port at a visit TO the schools of Europe:-
"Sueh excellent hand writing as saw in
the Prussian schools never saw before. /
can hardly express myself too strongly on
this point. In Great Britain, France, or In
our own country, have never seen schools
worthy to be compared with theirs in this re-
speot. This superiority cannot be attribu-
ted in any degree to a better mode of holding
the pen; for never saw so great portion
of cases in any schools where the pen is so
awkwardly held. This excellence must be
referred in great degree, to the universal
practice oflearning to draw contemporaries
ously with learning to write. | believe a
child will learn both to draw and write with
more ease than he will learn writing alone.
In tho course of my tour passed from eoup-
tries where almost every pupil in every school
could draw with ease, and most of them with
no inconsiderable degree of beauty and ex
preston, to those where drawing was not
practiced at all; and came to the conclusion
that, with no other guide but the copy books
ofthe pupils, could tell whether drawing
was taught in schools or not"

expressed the hops and belief that the North West
would, upon sober reflection, determine to re-
main with Virginia, notwithstanding the mixed ba-
sis.
1t does not surprise us that the member from Lo-
gan should seek to prop himself with every adven-
titious support. He well knows that his own course
on this very question of basis has been such, that
if it were known throughout the North West, he
would find there as much prejudice aroused
against himselfas he now wishes to excite against
this paper. There are gentlemen in the Conven-
ton, who served with him in the House of Dele
gates of lS49-50, and they we'll recollect that
when the Convention bill was up he separated
himself from the large majority of Western men,
bers, and supported it, although it organized the
Convention on the mixed basis. He took ground
warmly in favour of Convention on that basis,
because he could not get one on the white, and the
mixed basis carried out as principle would at
once reduce the Eastern majority, and would in
ten years, as he predicted, transfer the majority
to the West Yet this same gentleman, on Satur-
day, declared that i; Richmond should vote to
degrade him with the mixed basis, and carry it, he
would vote to degrade Richmond by cutting down
her representation 1t is degradation, it seems,
to Mr.. Ferguson, to have the mixed basis adopted
now, although in 1850, he was willing to take it
with the expectation of living under it for at least
ten years. We are aware that Mr.. F. had some
controversy in his district about his course in
in the Legislature, but the facts we state can be
readily established from the reports published at
the time, and will doubtless be substantiated by
the members Of the Convention who were in the
Legislature when the Convention bill was under
| consideration.
