The old King.

A lonely King is the Winter old,
With his stern and frosty visage cold,
Ills aged head wears on icy crown,
And his brow, a harsh, forbidding frown.
Regal and sad, on his marble throne,
lie sitteth fOrsaken, and alone.
The Summor-she is a wilful child,
OF nature passionate, warm, and wild;
She mocks at her fathers thin white hair,
Bleached by ages Of grief and care
Mocks, when he asks for n single fow'r,
To gladden. his snow encrusted bower.
Her smiling wales yield no bloomy branch
To circle his realms Of avalanche;
No fragrance drOppings, no sunny CLEANS,
People the old mans sombre dreams.
But Autumn was gentle, fair and meek,
With tender eye, and q blushing cheek,
Well loved, stern winter, her step of grace,
The pensive loveliness of her face
Gliding along in her golden veil,
Lovingly beautiful fair, but frail,
Fading away, with the crimson fall
OF the forest leaves her mourning pail;
Gently she died on his rugged breast,
Softly, and sweetly was laid to rest.
Yet there Is one, who loveth him still
Who humors the old mans captious will,
Mirthloving Spring with her joyous tread
Who garlands her fathers frosty head,
She srreadeth her dew-pearled vestment'
wide +,
His woe-stricken yisage fain to hide;
Springing way from his fond embrace
With laughing glec in her merry face /;
Tossing the May-bloom in childish sport
Speeding away to her fairy court.
Flinging back beams of violet-dew,
Shining memories, silverly blue.
The old man heareth the song afar,
As he stands without the crystal bar
OF youths elysiumed realms Of bliss,
Which neyer-oh never can be his.
Poor, foolish King! in his f~ruitless race
Round old eternity's rugged base
Doomed, like Salathiel's ghost, to hear
That ceaselcss prophecy larry herel'

TN Offering this School to the public, the Trus-
tees hatter themselves, that they have procured
the services Of a gentleman, prominently qualified
to direct it with ability. He comes well recon-
mended as a Teacher Of the highest order; a Grad
uate, capable of teaching a thorough course, pre-
paratory to entering the highest Glasses in the Uni
yersity of North Carolina, and from the experience
he has acquired in teaching. he fatters himself that
he will be able to give undoubted satisfaction.
There is now nearly completed in the Town of
Henderson, removed from the business of the place,
one Of the neatest Academies in the State, which
has been built by the patriotic citizens of the
place, bringing also TO their aid the friends of Ed
ucation round about, and that too at a heavy ex-
pense, and it would be suicidal in us as Trustees,
not to place it on the best footing.
The gentleman whose services we offer to the
public, is a native of Virginia, by birth and educa-
cation and therefore has feelings allied with our
own, as he wishes to make this permanently his
home, he would ask all who know him to aid in this
great work, the education of The heart as well as the
head, and when this shall be done, he can have the
pleasing qualification of knowing that he has per-
formed the part of the philanthropist-the scholar.
Henderson prese Its one of the finest fields for
the encouragement of education in the State, COM
2 bining healtl morality and intelligence. 1t has
also other advantages; it is easy of a~ccess-being
