We know that this is the best school
in the South, and is every way worthy
the patronage Of the public, and as a
place where young ladies will be safe,
not only from the pestilence of less ia

midst of moral, an enlightened and
worthy community, they may be IA
vored with the advantages Of refined
society, and yet escape the useless ex-
travagancies and follies too prevalent
in other places.
Arrangements are soon to be made
for enlargipg, or rather building two

FAcT,--You may insert thousand

That's es true as Holy Writ. There
is so little gratitude generally manifested
by the readers Of newspaper, that j,
almost discourages an editor in his at
tempts to please them all. Why, VIC
have known q subscriber TO take offence
at little anccdote, and have his paper
discontinued, after having enjoyed its
columns for years. Now, good friends
don't condemn an editor for not thinking
as you think, but give him full and free
liberty OF thinking for himself, for he
must be accountable, not to you, but tc
his God. And whenever you soc par
agraph in his paper that does not precise
ly coincide with your views, don't fly in
to a passion, for that same piece may
Just suit some other subscriber who has
thc.same demands as you upon the edl
tor. And remember, too, that the most
beautiful Of flowers are attended by thorns
so the best Of reading is often inter.
spersed with sentiments, perhaps, in con.
trariety with your own, Learn to be dem.

the past collegiate year had been one

to make distinctions between classes
