For the Spirit of the Age.
Perseverance.
BY wM. D. soMERs, gR.
How noble it's to persevere,
Amid the trying Genes Of life;
10 Danish slothfulness and care,
And calmly meet each painful strife.
How noble tits to rise above,
The ~sublunary things of time;
70 let our thoughts from earth remove,
And soar into u better cline.
We have our gloomy seasons here,
And hours when all aronni seems sad,
We often feel cast down with fear,
When nought conspirest to makeu us glad.
Yet we should ever bear in mind,
That all these trials to us are given
BY Gods wisdom, and are designed
10 raise our minds from earth TO heaven.
.If friends forsake, or fortune yield,
How dismal then our lots appear;
Yet let us not desert the field,
Or cease to toll and perseycre.
disappointment mark our way,
Aad storms oppose our onward march,
If patience have her potent sway,
Success will on our banner perch.
If sore affection weigh us down,
And sad misfortune then come near,
Let aot dependency confound,
But recollcot TO pcrscyere.
Should discomfort show her grim face,
With other evils which you fear.
just bring to bear this good old phrase
"How noble tits to persevere."
Should sorrow press your anxious mind
And oil the world seem dark and drear
BE meekly TO your lot resigned,
Aud never fail to perseyere.
In short, wbate'er may you betide,
In passing through life's narrow span,
Remember Ger to cast aside,
Whatc'er ills and fears you can.

IT HAS WORKED MIRACLES!

THAT all the bald and gray can be restored
perfectly to original growth, so far as their locks
are concerned, does not admit of doubt; besides,
1t will cure every possible disease of the scalp,
whether developed as ~dandruff, itching, or in the
shape of cutaneous eruptions-even scald- head
and in no possible case will it fail of curing, as if
by magic, nervous or periodical headache, and if
used twice a week by the young, regularly, it will
preserve the color, and keep the hair from falling,
to any imaginable age Read and Judge.

Prot. o.. j. Wood: As you are about to manu-
%facture and vend your recently discovered Hair
Restorative, l will state, for whomsoever it may
concern, that I have used it, and known others to
use it-that [ have, for several years, been in the
habit of using other Hair Restoratives, and that
| find yours vastly superior to any other I know.
1t entirely cleanses the head of dandruf, and with
one months proper use, will restore any persons
hair to the original youthful color and texture,
giving it a healthy, soft and glossy appearance f;
and all this, without discoloring the hands that
apply it, or the dress on which it drops. Iwould,
therefore, recommend its use to every one desir-
Gus of having a fine color and texture to hair.
Respectfully, yours, WILSON KING.

Both Trustees and Teachers feel it their duty to
inculcate sound morality and correct general views
of religion, yet at the same time they will take es-
pecial care that nothing is taught that is at all
sectarian. While the Teachers propose going over
the anne ground usual in first class Academies,
they deem it Of much more importance that their
instruction should be thorough than ertensire.-
Every effort viii be made to induce fondness for
study, and to check vicious propensities.
Terms: Tuition in English Department, $12 50,
and in the Classical, SIS 90 per session. A con-
tingentfee of 81 is required Ct each student. Good
board can be obtained, convenient to the Academy,
