The buildings are pleasant and commodious, and
the school is wr|| supplied with the best maps and
glide's ; mid all that is necessary for the proper illua
tnukmofihc different subject* of study.
Mb. 0 ft. non who ha® been induced to rc

He was one y ir an instruclofftl tlicEdgehill *sVmi- ;

guage and part of the time in Mathematics. He
u as a Iso one year clntsical tutor at Franklin College, j

Young men preparing for West-Point-, or for the
Profession of Civil Engineering, or for any profes
sion requiring considerable Mathematical attain
ments, can be thoroughly trained and carried through
any Mathematical course that may be desired, how

It is worthy of remark that it is a common subject
of complaint with regard to most of our academies
that t he young men whom they send to enter College
higher than the Freshman class arc almost invaria
bly deficient in Mathematics.
Mr. Don. has taught French for the last two years
to the students of Jefferson College, and will give
instructions in that language to all the pupils of the

Thou cun’st not whisper pleasure to this heart,
Thy aspect cannot life’s dark ills beguile :
Farewell, December ! child of winter, stern,
Nature, with thee, wept in ftirtcrul gloom;
Oheefless the trophies that adorn thy urn,
Cold are the rites that e.onseeratethy tomb!
Farewell, December! nnd with thee, the year,
Another year that ends it course with thee /
Another year dissever’d from my span,
Lost in thy dark embrace, Rternify !
AV hut hopes and fours, what shemes of future bliss,
Have spuikt-id tlie Fast, will) fairy glentn I
Futile those schemes, ami false each hope, for this
Brief life is but the shadow of a dream !
Farewell, December! ere in frowns again
Thou rcign’st the empress of the howling storm,
1 !*Chance this bosom, free from secret pain,
Shall rest in quiet / This unconscious form
Shall pillow sweetly on its lowly bed,
And know of grief do more. Oh it is sweet
When gently gather’d by the great Reaper , Death,
Like a ripe, shock of grain, to fes) in peace!

BT T. II.tTNEi) BtVI.RY.
Tlie joy-bells are ringing—oh I come to tlie cliurcii;
We shall see the. Grille. |>tiss, if e stand in the porch;
The bride groom is Wealthy; how brightly arrayed
Arc the menials who wait on tlie gay cavalcade—
The steeds with the chariots prancing along,
And the peasants advancing mith music and song.
Now comes the procession: nrelhere,
‘With robes, and with ribbons, and wreaths in their
> littir’.
Yon feeble old knight the bride’s VxTntin must be;
And now, walking proudly, Iter mother we see.;
A pnle girt in tent's slowly moves by her side—
But where is tin: bridegroom, und where is the bride]
They kneel round the altar.—the organ has Ceased,
The handsof the lovers arc joined by the priest ;
That bond ! —which death only cun sever again ;
Which proveth forever life’s blessing or bane !
A bridle like this, is a sorrowful sight;
Sec ! the pale girl is bride to the feeble old knight !
Her arm on her husband's arm passively lies,
And closely she draws her rieh vale o'er her eye.sj
Her fWends throng around her with accents of love ’
She speaks not —her pale lips inaudihly move ;
Her equipage waits, —site is placed by the side
Os her aged companion—a sorrowing bride I
Agtin the bells ring—and the moment is come.
For the young heart’s worst trial—the last look of
home!
They pass from the village; —how eagerly still
She turns and looks back from the brow of the hill!
She sees the white cottage —the garden site made —
And she thinks oflter Inver! abandoned —betrayed !
Blit who, with arms folded, hath lingered so long
To witch the procession, apart from the throng 1
’Tis ht!! the forsaken 1 The false one is gone—
ltc. tfirnes to his desolate dwelling alone;
But happier there, than the doom that awaits
Tltebride who must smile on n being she hates !

Colonel is a good Matured honest hearted
follow and brave us a lion withal. He re
eenlly related to us an amusing anecdote
ofliiniself, which we here take the liberty
of publishing.
Some seven or eight years since, when
the Indians on the frontier ofTexas Were
less hostile than now the Colonel was trav
elling through the Camatiche country alone.
Onapproaehittg one of the villages, he was
ruet by a patty who surrounded and to’ok
bin prisoner. He was carried in the vil
liaro, and the treatment he there received
was at first such as gave him Some appre
hensions that the Indians would kill Mi;
j Hesaw no possibility of escaping. But
he appeared contented, and made every
| manifestation of friendship by distributing
I the contents of his saddle-bags in presents
ito those arouuiMiim. Among other tilings
he gave them beads, paints, &c., which
| seemed to delight the natives amazingly'/
| The Colonel witnecssed litis with pleasure,
; and he to feel himself safe again.
Hut his joy was not allowed 1 to continue
j long. Soon a large number of squaws
| came to him singing yelling and datufing ;
arid taking him by force conveyed him to a
creek, whereafter divesting him of his ap
pearel, they soused hittw)4o the water nek
and heels. After this immet sfott; the squaws
