AN ACCESSION,


WE take pleasure in announcing to the public
that Mr.. ALDRIcH has secured, for the musical
department Of his Seminary in this village, the
services of Mr.. A. KoERBER, a; German but late
of New York.
Mr. X. is decidedly the most brilliant Pianist
we have ever had in Edsefeld, and we have ITO
doubt Of his capabilities as a teacher. On yes
terday, we had the pleasure of hearing him in
several piecies and we have not been more high
ly gratifed in this respect, for many days, than
we were by his splendid execution. We Were
specially pleased with Mr.. KS. own composition.
Among these last was a Sacred piece, an Over
turo. March, Gallop and a ShUtisch, all

SPRING AND ITS TEACHINGS. "
SWEET Spring is yet opposed by Winters chill,
Whose nature is SO rugged, stern and cold,
Who seems to watch, with jealous eye, until
SO Some tender flower may its leaves unfold,
That he may, as with tyrantj Joy, 80.
Its beauties blast, ifs strength destroy.
Sweet plants, i pray you, watch your enemy;
sss BE not elated, if with seeming good,
He stops his breath and leaves cloudless sky;
- = For ah, 'tis like the cat in sportive mood,
Which tempts its prey, at times, to fly,
80. That it,may when most hopeful die.
Then, flowers, wait until Springs gentle breeze
Her balny warmth spreads o'er the unelad
lawn, .:
o'creoming mildly gloomy Winters freeze,
WHO tho he may be stern, cannot withstand
Springs warming look, nor reconcile
.,es His frigid features to her smile.
Oh, then, sweet flowers, await her balmy breath
land as it passes shed your rich perfume,
Your only sign of gratitude, till death
And dissolution cause you to resume
The simple elements Of life,
With which all nature is so rife.
.sI5s
And, flowers sweet, impress upon my heart
This lesson, CLEANED from thine and natures
ways, -. =
That when cold hatred's blasts keen pain impart
And freezing prejudice may speak his praises
Istill may patiently await
For love to disspate their hate.
Yes, christian love, of human souls the Spring,
* The nourisher Of good, the glorious light,
That sheds its genial ray from soaring wing,
Transcendng all on earth, resplendant, bright,
Will warm as Spring the Wintry mind
And make that which was warm refined.
Then Twill hope and never feel alarms,
So long as. nature keeps her course as past;
SO long as sunshine follows raging storms
So long as Spring succeeds to Winters blast.
80 Dame nature has fixed laws by this
i know, I feel there's naught amss.
SoIwill hope, and never let despair
Seize on my heart, whate'er my fate may be (;
For now view the distant prospect fair,
Tho all around me prejudice see.
With lighter heart and kinder, then
Iwait the Spring of mind and men.

MUSICAL.

We had the pleasures few days ago, of at
tending one Of the b-monthly musical exercises
Mr. RAYMoxD's Female Seminary at this place.
A large number Of the patrons and wcll.wishers
of the Institution were present, and it is no exag-
Grafton to say that every one went away much
gratified. Under the skilful instruction Of Mrs.
R., the scholars generally give unmistakenble
proof of rapid progress in this department. Our
honest opinion is that no school, within. our
knowledge, excels the one of which we are now
writing, in,facilities forS5t the attainment of a
thorough and accurate musical cducuation. With
an instrnctress who, besides being n model Of
proprie,y lady, possesses unquestionable excel.

fault or absolute incapacity, ifsimproyement be
not quickly perceptible. ~ H.7.i
These semi-public exercises are designed to
give the patrons Of the school fair and constant
means of Judging for. themselves Of the progress
of their children-but chiefly TO impart some
degree of confidence TO the latter in using their
talents for the amusement 5or. entertainment Of
others. And in this respect we regard them de-
cidedly commendable. For nothing, in young
lady's case, is more annoying 10 friends than the
bashfulness, amounting almost to shpepiShness,
which too often characterizes otherwise sensible
girls.
We are pleased to learn that an opportunity
will be afforded to the community at large, on
Nfay-day, to attend upon one of these interesting
occasions.
