For the Spirit of the Age


The following poetic speech was spoken
by n young lady at one Of my public Exhi-
billions, as teacher. If you think it worthy,

The first thing I thought of, when / was a
child
Was, how the Creator, on earth ever smiled
! t~houghtit a beautiful world Of delight,
Nothing was wrong, but that all things were
right.
Man surely was perfect. and every thing nj e,
No harm he intended, no folly or vice: :.
All nature was pleasant, delightful and gay,
And nothing to harm us, or lead us astray.
And is It now certain, that / was deceived,
In oil my conclusions, what first | believed?
Is not the creation n Paradise still,
An men in the kingdom, still follow his will9
No, l was deceived, in the beautiful side
Which nature presented but wisdom denied.
IT'S folly for me 20 conclude il a rule, /.
When all men may see it, excepting the fool.
A horrid deception has got us in tow,
And we are mistaken where ever we 20
How can we account for the evils that be
just wipe up your eyes, and be willing to see,
The Rummies are plenty, quite thrifty and
fat,
Now there lies the Devil and nothing but that
How can a man prosper, be thirsty and chop
When living so near to the liquoring shop
All J something alluring, too strongly fol

So tempting the goblet, SO lively the face,
That nothing can tempt him to quit the vile

He sooner would starve ont his family too,
And forfeit his honor, as other men do.

Is sure to serve others, and act as a tool I;
A mind Of his own he never had any,
Yetno one for service would pay him a penny.

HIGH SCHOOL AT CLAYTON,
II Miles East of Raleiph.

This school can be surpassed by but few in the
State. Our Principal, VIM. B. Jones, though a
young man. has surpassed the expectations of his
patrons, and bids fair, in a short time, to become
one of the best of teachers. He undoubtedly pos
sesses the faculty Of 'aptness to teach" The
thoroughncss of his pupils teitify to this fact.
Having enjoyed the tuition of DR.. Wayland, in
those English branches of which he is the author,
and of Elocution under Proof. Russell, one Of the
best elocutionists in our country, he is, we can
safely say, more thorough in those branches than
we generally find men of his age.
Mrs. D.. w. Jones, Principal of the Female De-
partment, has already established the reputation
of a First Glass teacher. We have no hesitation
in saying. she is second to none in the State
The Buildings are now complete, and ample pre-
parations are made for a large number of students

the following solution ofthe Problem, which
appeared in cur paper of January 9th.
An Epitaph on a m who sold Earth
enware.
Beneath this stone lies Catherine GRAY,
Changed from n busy life to lfeles, clay;
by earth and clay she got her pelf,
And now she's turned to earth herself.
Ye weeping friends let me advise,
Abate your grief and dry your eyes;
For what avail a food Of tears:
Who knows but in a run OF years,
in some tall pitcher, OF broad pan,
She in her shop may be again.

"A married lady of thirty odd"
Every evening | see in their beds
A "baker's dozen" of curly heads.
Every morning my slumbers greet
The patter, patter of twenty-six feet.
Thirteen little hearts always in a hutter,
Till thirteen little mouths are filled with
bread and butter.
Thirteen lutte tongues are busy all day long,
And thirteen little hands with doing some
thing wrong.
Till I am fain to do,
With an energy, too,
As did the old woman that lived in the shoe.
And when my poor husband comes home
from his work,
Tired and hungry, and fierce as a Turk,
What do you think is the picture he sees?
A legion of babies, all in a breeze
Johnny a crying,
And Lucy a signing,
And worn out mamma, with her hair all a
flying;
Strong and angry William, beating little
Nelly;
Charley in the pantry, eating currant Jelly
Richard strutting round in papa's Sunday
coat;
Harry at the glass, with q razor at his throat
Robert gets his fingers crushed when Susy
shuts the door,
Mitigates their aching with a ~forty-pount

Baby at the coal bod hurries to begin,
Throwing in his mite to the universal din.
