NHE Trustees of this Institution have much
IL pleasure in announcing to the public its per-
feet success during the past year, and they feel
more than ever justified in recommending it to
public patronage.
Believing that private direction Of Scholastic
Institutions is more conclusive to their success
and utility than public govcrnance, they have dis
posed of the property; under proper restrictions,
to the present Princpal-Professor R. H. MICH
OILS, and feel confident, that under his expert
cnced guidance, the Institution must prosper.
Every step has been taken to render it a truly
SOUTHERN ScnoLL by divesting it, as far as pos
sible, Of Northern influence, either literary OF
personal, and they feel that they have now a
School in their mids adapted to their utmost pre-
sent and future need.
In rclnqushing the proprietorship Of the In
stutc, they by no means lose their solicitude for
its success-on the contrary, they will always re.
main watchful guardians Of its vital interests, and
existing still as acorporate body, they will ever be
ready to protect and foster it.

Know ye an hour more fraught with joy
Than ever felt the maid Of Greece,
When kiss'd by Venus am'rous boy7
'Tis not when round the mazy case,
His nimble fingers kiss the type;
Nor is it when, with heightened face,
The sturdy deUipS tale he gripes.
'Tis not when news Of dreadful note
His columns all with minion fill
IT'S not when brother Printers quote
TIL effusion of his stump-worn quill.
'Tis not when in Miss Fancy's glass
Long Advertisements meet his eye,
And seem TO whisper as they pass,
"We'll grace your columns by and BY
No-reader-no-the Printers hour,
His hour Of real sweet repose,
Is not when by some magic power
His list Of patrons daily grows.
But, oh 'tis when the weather's clear,
Or clad in hail, or rain, or rapor,
He hears in accents soft and dear
