ba- The following from the Trenton
(Tenn.) Journal, shows what the acqaint-
ances and friends of DIR. Hamilton think
of him and the fourishing Institution
over which he presides
GAINESVILLE FEMALE AcADEMY-Un-
der the energy and superior skill of Rev.
A. l.. Hamilton as a Teacher, this Acade-
my now ranks among the first in the west.
1t will be seen by an Advertisement in our
paper, that uring the past session there
were enrolled 40 young Ladies', sixty of
whom boarded at the Institution. This
speaks we'll for this School at its first ses-
sion, but from our acquaintance with DR..
Hamilton, We are not surprised to hear OF
even greater success for the in coming ses
sion.l He is known in our community
where he has had some experience as a
Teacher, as polite gentleman, finished
scholar, and the very man for the position
which he now occupies. Those having
daughters to educate, can rest assured that
they will be properly cared for in the
Clarksville Female Academy, and that DIR.

RsT- a friend handed us the following,
which are said to be the facts in the case,
with the request that We publish them:
ga rencounter took place last week a
short distance from town, between q. w.
Mari and John o. Hunt, in which the
former was shot by the latter. AS MIR.
Hunt has been arra,gned and discharged,
we give the facts Of the case. A quarrel
occurred between the parties, several days
before the ARRAY, in the vicinity of Hunt 5
house, an which Mr.. Mari complained
harshly of ungenerous treatment on the
part of the latter, in some transaction be-
tween them. This Mr. Hunt denied, and
asked Mr.. Mari to his house, where he
promised to show satisfactory proof of his
innocence of the charge. On arriving
thither, Mr.. Hunt altered his tone, and
vented imprecations upon Mr.. Mari and
the memory of his deceased Father. Mr..
Mari quilted the premises, with the declar-
alton TO Mr.. Hunt, that he would cane
him on the first occasion he should find
him from his house. They met few days
afterwards, when Mari advanced upon
Hunt with uplifted stick, struck him q
severe blow, when he was shot as stated
by the latter. The wound at first was
supposed mortal, but we are happy to
learn has proved otherwise, and Mr.. Mari
is now rapidly recovering"

law in the treatment of slaves If slave en- :
capped, the master could pursue him. recapture
or recover by offering reward but the lectur.
er found nowhere a treaty or agreement to send
back the fugitive, as among the Romans Meth
had he found a trace of a law forbidding to
shelter the fugitive, until Greece became part
of the Roman Empire. The slave could be sold
in Athens like any other species of property.
Allusion was made to the noble charities Of
Demosthenes in ransoming countrymen taken
IN war from captivity, who were too poor to
ransom themselves. The history of Athens
was black ened By selling the inhabitants of cit
les taken after long siege
The general doctrine was that captives in war
and barbarians might be rightly reduced to ser :
| vitude but the practice was not limited to
| these cases Greeks were often made slaves;
Diogenes. the Cynic, and even Plato were tenn
| porarily enslaved. When Diogenes was expos
ed for sale he called out :-"Who wants to buy
master2" And when, at later period, he
had slave of his own, and the slave not fancy
ing the service of master who lived in tub,
ran away, he shrugged his shoulders, and said:
III he can do without Dio2enes. DiogeneS
can do without him. Plato was redeemed by
friend, at about thirty times the price ola som-
mon. slave, The Athenians sent tbs msney
back to the purchaser. who refused to receive
it. 1t was afterwards laid out in purchasing the
grounds of the Academy where Plato taught
philosophy for many years.
The condition of servitude could not fail to
attract the attention of thoughtful minds The
woes of slavery were 1eIineated by the epic
and tragic poets, but no remedy was suggested
for them. Many humane sentiments were ex.
pressed by them. These, however, referred
mostly to high born captives. The common
slave appeared in the comedies as a jester or
buffoon-sometimes in the character ola good
natured rogue often wi;ser than his master
He was wasteful, extravagant glutton and
wine bbber notwithstanding the laws prohibit
ed the use of wine to slaves. He was q great
liar, was the pimp and pander to all the vices OF
bis young master In short, the slaves of the
new comedy exhibited all the low humOrs and
drolleries and vices of common life at Athens.
On the other hand, the Athenian comic writer
true to all the aspects of Grecian life, was not
blind to the fact of the essential humanity of
the Slave. He often gave expression TO the
natural, and therefore inextinguishable feeling
of the universal manhood of man. some pas
sages were given in illustration of this. One OF
the characters in fragment of Philemon, says
| "Although a slave, 0, master, none the less
Is he a man, if he but be man."
This is the way Greek poetry deals with the
subject; humanely far more so than society
dealt with it. 1. gives expression to the sorrows
of an inevitable lot; paints the vices in which
an outraged nature finds its degrading relief;
but it sees the outlines of the sacred image of
humanity, under all thu. hardships, wrongs and
sins which have dimmed and defaced it,

WHITTIER ON AMUsEMENT.-Johu G.. Whit
tier, the poet, in reply to an attack, writes some
very just and liberal views of amusement,
which he advocates saying:
II would encourage reading circles-health-
full sports and exercise, and executions amid the
serene beauties of nature, so we'll calculated to
exat the'mind towards that which st. Augustine
speaks of as the,
''eternal beauty always new and always DID,"
81 would promote libraries and debating clubs,
whatever, in short, promises to promote enjoy
ment with the culture of the mind and heart,
and the hcalthful development of a sound mind
in a sound body. | do not nndervalue other in
strumentaiities, especially the higher ones of a
religious nature. But, at the same time, be-
lieve that cheerful. social Christian is better
than q sour and ascetic one. That good old
Puritan, Richard Baxter, used nsed to regret
his melancholy aud gloomy temperament, arising
mainly from bodily infirmlty, and in the latter
part ofhis life strove 30 introduce more cheerful
disposition among his religious friends
True religion he says, is not matter of
fears, tears and scfuples; itdoth principally con
sist in obedience, love and joy.'
Unnatural repression in one direction is sure
to lead to corresponding protuberance of de-
formity in another. The folly of the Flathead
Indian mother who binds with bark the forehead
of her infant until the frontal portion of the head
is forced backward in idiotc prominence, finds
parallel in all efforts for moral reform which
overlooks the great laws of our being"

"THE LAST GREAT SCENE OF ALL" The ed
Itor of the Christian Inquirer was recently call
ed to the death-bed of a young man of great
promise.-In an account of the young mans
last hours he alludes to a fact which must have
forced itself upon the notice of every one who has
been often summoned to the presence of the 0e-
parting spirit:
It's striking fact-the dying neuer ,ossp.
The circle of sobbing, agonized hearts around,
produces not one tear. Is it that he is insensi-
ole and stiff already in the chill of dissolution
That cannot be for he asks for his fathers hand,
il to gain strength in the mortal struggle,
and leans on the breast of mother, brother, or
sister, with still conscious affection and just be-
fore expiring, at eve, after along day converse
with ihe Angel of Summons, he says 10 his old
est brothe:--the last audible goodnight of earth
kiss me, kiss me PIT must be because the
dying have reached point to deep for our earth
Y crying and weeping They are face to face
with higher and holier beings, with the Father
in heaven, and his angel throng, led on by the
Son HIMSELF and what are griefs of morning,
tear of dying farewell-be it that they are shed
by the dearest on earth--in that's vision bright
ofimmortal life and everlasting reunion
