Forty Years Ago.

Forty or fifty years ago, the Columbia
College Z" stood on the hill between town and
the residence now occupied by Hon. W. b.
Wilson, Until recently the crumbling rains of
the old College were visible, adding pietar-
esqusness to the besgty of the fine grove of
forest poplars. Prof. %f'ifard, one of the
tesehers at this College, vas renowned as q
great mathematical scholar. n. F. Maurv,
recently dead. used to come over during his
visits 20 his home in Williamson county, ant
spend the Summer at the College. This was
while he was in the naval service. No doubt
much Of his after 81 eatuesS was due to the
-uccessful mathematical instruction he had
from T--nf WilifoId. Col. Mark Pillow Hon.
James II. honiaS. ED. Stephen Herndon, and
many other citizens Oh or county, were gong
to this school at the same time. lie bad a
great fondness for Col. Pillow, and they use
to 60 swimming together often at the bluff
above the bridge. In after years, VIXEN be was

Columbia Institute.

The reputation of the Columbia Female
Institute is not confined to Tennessee. The
New Orleans Picayune says of it: ''In beau
tiful country and fine climate, it was found
cd originally, we believe, by the late Bish-
op Otey, of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
and now, earnestly cherished by his su :ces-
sor the present Bishop of Tennessee, bishop
Quintard. The studies and accomplishing nts
taught in this institution are all that com
plete education can require, whilst its head,
DR.. Beckett. combines in himself the charac-
teristics OF the accomplished scholar,
the refined gentleman, and the devoted ser
want of Christ. His zeal in the holy cause
in which he is engaged-th the extern
sion of religion through education-is equal
to his ability aud his success-slthough too
highly esteemed, perhaps, by himself, from
the earnestness of his desirss-s striking
proof of the high estimation in which his pious
and noble efforts are held by Southern people.

For the Herald.
ALL THINGS ARE DYING,
BY W. b, Ii.

BY W. b. H.
0 death, thou unrelenting one.
Thine Icy grasp doth fix on all,
And leads all nature to the tomb,
Gently as the leaves doth fall.
Fields that are clothed in verdure,
Again q barren waste shall be,
For winters never falling blast
Comes as a cola breath trom thee.
Forests though enrobed in green,7
Above the yellow leafShaD weep,
And their bare limbs bow and mourn,
AS DER them the chilled winds SW eep,
Flowers rear their beailteouS heads,
To kiss the pearly dewS of morn,
But ere the day god goes TO rest,
Are blighted, Wfthered and gone.
The pale moon far off in her vault,
Watches the sable hours come and go:
In time her face to blood will turn
And she will watch the night no more
The stars that now look eternal,
Far away in their shining home,
Serene as they seem to travel,
Are journeying to the tomb.
The hills send forth their ripping stream
Winding on to rivers they go;
But rivers so majestic now,
In the ocean are seen no more.
The blue sea.murmurs its slow dirge,
For those in its bosom sleeping;
Ere long its mournful waves will cease.
For the world itself is dying.
