Through reedy fens its sluggish current flows.
Where lilies grow and purple b-ossomed maliows.
The asterbloopns above its eddies shine.
With poIened bees about them humming lowly,
And in the meadow-lands the drowsy kine -,
Making music with their sweet bells. tinkng Slowly

From upland fields. soft, melodious mourning

A Golden sunshine slants across the meadows;
The bride and prime Of summer time is gone.

It's soitened gray the softened green outlying;
And fair scenes grow fairer while yet they pass.

GENERAL REMARKS.

Spartanburg Female College, under the
patronage of the South Carolina Confer
ence, was opened for the admission OF
pupils on the 25th August, 1855.
The site of the College Buildings is one
of the most pleasant and desirable locations
that could have been selected.
The Campus encloses fifteen acres OF
woodland, on the summit of a hill over
looking the town of Spartanburg, and a
half mile or more, distant from it.
Secluded from the excitements AMI at
fractions of the town thoroughfares, with a
pure atmosphere, excellent water, and rural
quietude. the pupils enjoy every facility for
mental and moral culture.

EXPENSES.

1t is confidently believed that while this
Institution offers high inducements, in the
way of educational, social, moral and re-
ligious advantages, it holds out motives Of
pecuniary kind, equal, if not greater than
any other. Look at the advertisements of
this and other schools, North or South, and
parents will see that they make saving by
sending to Spartanburg.
