POOR Be Y'S COLLEGE,

The Printing Office has indeed proved a
better College to many poor boy, 1t has
graduated more useful aud conspicuous mem
bers of society. has brought more Intellect
and turned it into practical, useful channels,
awakened more mind, generated more active
and elevated thought, than many of the lit
erary colleges of the country. How many a
Ounce has passed through these colleges With
no tangible proof Of fituess other than his
inauimated piece Of parchment; himself, if
possible, more inapimate than bis leather d.

mosphcre of a printing Office calculated to
awaken the minds and inspire the thirst of
knowledge. A boy who commences in sneh

COMFY WAITING"
A very aged man in an alms-house was ask
what he was doing! Hereplied "Only Wa'ting
Only waiting till the shadows
Are little longer grown.
Only waiting till the glimmer
OF the days last beam has flown;
Till the night of earth is faded
From the heart, once full, of day:
Till the stars of Heaven are breaking
Through the twilight soft and grey.
Only waiting till the reapers
Have the last sheath gathered home,
For the summer time is faded,
And the autumn winds have come;
Quickly, reapers gather quickly
The last ripe hours of my heart,
For the bloom of life is wither'd,
And hasten to depart.
Only waiting till the angels
Open wide the mystic gate,
At whose feet long have fingered,
Weary poor and desolate,
Even now hear their footsteps
And their voices far away;
If they call me am waiting,
Only waiting to obey.
Only waiting till the shadows
Are little longer grown,
Only waiting till the glimmer
OF the days last beam is flown:
Then from out the gathering darkness
Holy, deathless stars shall rise,
By whose light my soul shall gladly
Tread its pathway to the skies.

nEy~The eminent DR., Rush says that the
exercise of the organs of the breast by sing
ing, contributes to defend tn en- very much
from those diseases to which the climate and
other causes expose them. The Germans are
seldom afflicted with consumption,g and spit
ting of blood is almost unknown among them
"a fact attributed by DR.. Rush, in part, to
the strength which their lungs acquire by
exercising them SO frequently in vocal music,
which constitutes an essential branch of THEN
education, from their earliest years.
