HENRY CLAY.
The slow knell is toing,-a nation in tears
Puts on the dark mantle of sorrow again,
And laments as she ne 'cr had lamented for years
Her brightest of sages,-her noblest of men.
So strong were the ties Of affection that bound him
To hearts that forever must mourn him below,
So firm was the rampant of friendship around him,
That Death seemed to fater in dealing his blow.
Bn at last he has left us-the stroke has descended
And hope with its care-broken vigil is o'er,-
Weak nature has yieldeG-the struggle is ended,
And alas! the old patriarch Clay is no more!
Weep,-weep,-Oh. my country,-in anguish be-
OF the child Of thy heart let thy grief have its
way;
For though many and true be the souls that are
left,
My country! my country. thou hadst but one
Clay.
When war with its woes and sorrows assailed thee,
When defeat and dishonor seemed Joined with
the train,
When even the bodest, the stoutest hearts failed
thee,
Twas his to enkindle thy courage again!
When down-trodden nation wa. proudly con
tending
TO DC fee when alone ii had stricken the
blow
He shouted the triumph of Liberty. sending
New strength to its friend, and dismay to its foe.
Though others might call up the storm on the ocean
'Tas his to command the dark tempest to cease:
Though others might set the fierce war-god in
motion,
Twas his to set smiling the daughter of peace.
But hush'd is that voice and extinguished for
The brightness--the magic that lived in that
eye.
He has dropped, he has sunk, he has fallen,-y
never
Can his deeds, can his fame can his mem 'ry
die.

WINTER Schools. The Superintendent Of
Common Schools in Bethel in this State, Is do
ing himself and the cause of education good JUS
tee in the plain common sense and terse man
ner IN which he makes up his report, We give
a sample, thus
"DrsrRIcT, No. ?. Miss LAP. taught
the summer school, and Miss A. +. +. the win
ter The former school was well instructed,
studlous, and IN general still, though noticed
some loud study, She is a good teacher, and
gave, so far as ! am informed, entire satisfaction
to her employers. The winter school was also
under the discipline and instruction Of an excel
lent teacher. My only wonder is that so good
schools can be taught IN so poor house. Dec.
l'lh, was hrst IN II, and though in it, | was
neither out Of the wind nor cold The frame of
the door did not fill It's original place within a.
bout hali an inch all around. The door about
as wen hAed the frame, and in addition, had lost
one OF ITS PANELS and was fastened togeiher
with the stove shovel. Much of the GLASS was
broken out OF the windows; the plastering was
nearly of over head, and there were large holes
IN the floor. The result of all this was. that the
wind drove the snow quite across the room, and
though there was a large fire, the breaths of the
scholars were visible from the cold and one of
them said al the dismissal of the school at noon,
that he had frozen his ears. A thing did not
much doubt, since with an over-coat on, aud
standing near large stove, became complete-
y chilled through. Truly, thought |, tins is
shlyerlng machine in earnest
The seats of the house corresponded to the
other parts of it. But Notwithstanding all. this
wretched schoo!'room was kept neat and clean,
and was supplied with two large black boards a
globe, and outline maps, all well used, and con-
tanned some twenty bright, active, intelligent
scholars, anxious to learn and studious, under
the discipline of one of the best teachers. My
thoughts were that such scholars deserved
better house. 1t would crafty me to learn that
their parents thought the same"

but the banks present none Of the beautiful vii
lapes and splendid private residences which a1orn
the latter. While in the distance You see the
desert sands the lands on either side Of the river
in lis immediate vicinity are rich alluvial bottoms
annually in great measure overlooked from
The heavy rains of the mountains. The dull
monotony Of its shores is only occasionally re-
leyed by clusters of Date Palm rising tall and
straight to The hegh, Of fifty or sixty feet, and
having at the top large and graceful cluster Of
branches, more resembling ostrich feathers than
limbs ola tree.
Cairo is the Capital Of Egypt, and as such
claims, at least, a passing notice Old Cairo
stood upon the bank of the river, but its glory
has long since departed, and there remains only
a cluster Of the most miserable huts, inhabited
by still more miserable population, to denote
It's location Modern Cairo stands near two
miles from the river and is approached by fine
avenue of sycamore and acacia trees. Il Is
most compacily built having only few streets
Of sufficient width to admit Of the passing Of car
rages, the others being only narrow crooked
lines, with houses so near each other in many
places as to require but step to pass from one
to another. The houses are mostly built Of I'M
burnt brick, and present as a whole but beg
carly appearance, and in many parts but Ae'
terogeneous mass of old, docayed and roofees
houses. Even IN the most cenlraiand business
parts, many of the buildings are stumbling to
runs and without occupants. n many places q
mere shed not more than foiir5oet deep forns a
shop for merchandise in front Of an old delapida-
ted building. There area few Mosques Of mod
ern date in very good repair, and they are now
building very large and handsome one called
Mahomed Ali, after the late Pacha but the old
Mosques arc, like the rest Of the city, far gone in
the way to destruction. As there are seldom
more than i've or six showers in year here,
many are occupied as Indications which would
in other climates be entirely useless. The
Egyptian Bazaars, which ] had supposed would
exhibit great deal Of oriental spendor, would
disgrace as O shop the poorest town in Vermont.
When shown the streets continuing the princi-
pal Bazaars would not believe that such places
could be called liazaars. Many Of them were
mere closets. standing up some two feet from the
ground and only eight feet in width and -four in
depth, salesman sitting on rug smoking
his pipe, und reaching mp beside him to his
shelves for his goods, while his customer stands
in the street. And this is a fair specimen ofthe
difference between my preconcelyed ideas Of
everything IN Egypt and the raalty. H.

are less likely TO be preudiced in favor of Col

cannot be supposed to be affected by the partisan
