A beautiful iHjmnjTom the. “ Reformed Liturgy.”
1
God of eternity, from thee
Did infant time its being draw ;
Minutes and days and months and years
Revolve by thy unvaried law.—
2
Silent and slow they glide away;
Steady and strong the current flows ;
Till lost in that unmeasured sea,
From which its being first arose.
3
The thoughtless sons of Adam's race
Upon the rapid stream are borne,
To that unseen, eternal home,
From which no travellers return.
4
Yet, whilst the shore, on cither side,
Presents a gaudy, flatt’ring show,
We gaze, in fond amazement lost,
Nor think to what a world we go.
Great Source of wisdom, teach our hearts
To know the price of every hour ;
That time may bear us on to joys.
Beyond its measure and its power.

THE COTTAGE.
How sweet to explore the vast height of the mountain,
To breathe the rich perfume of morning,s fresh air,
To recline on the hank of some rose-circled fountain,
And sip of the waters that bright sparkle there;
Yet, sweeter to me—aye, far. moreenilearing,
Than all other iovs that fair nature transcends,
Is my neat little Cottage, tlioiieli humble appearing,
Where smile my dear children, my girl, and my friends.
The Miser may joy ill the hulk of his treasure—
The Patriot may prize the green laurel of Fame—
iho Sportsman in horses and hounds may take pleasnro,
And seumcn a kindred with Neptune may claim:
But < ive mo my Cottage with wild wood o'er growing,
The shade of the willow that over it bends,
i he hearts of affection—with love overflowing—
The smile of iny children, my girl, and ray friends.
FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS,
The Opposition gaining Strength,
(ll? 5 *" A Learned I)og is no.v exhibi
tion in New York he spells, play’s cards,
answers questions, understands arithmetic,
geography, and astronomy.”
When this notice was first given to the
public, a good deal of anxiety was felt, in
our highest political circles, to know
whether this interesting animal were
“ committed,” on the Presidential ques
tion. The guarded tone of the foreign
notice, undoubtedly proceeding from- his
friends, left room to hope and fear much.
The fact, that the dog was said to under
stand “.4s<ro/i07ny,”gave a good deal of
alarm to several distinguished citizens, in
” the Patriot states,” and a letter soon
came from the Editor of the Richmond
Enquirer, to know whether the dog would
not covertly use his influence, on the
subject of a light house in the skies. In
aposcriptto the letter, Mr. Ritchie states
•hat he iras informed “ by a distinguished
member of Congress,” that though cards
only were nanied in the advertisement,
the dog was in reality a great adapt at
billiards, and it was more than suspected,
ray’s province. Great circulation was given
to this suggestion, &. it was introduced by
Mr. CambreliDg in his reply to a letter of
invitations, requesting hint to attend a pub
lic dinner at Comrnuniprtzp, to which the
dog was also invited. It turned out un
luckily, that the poor beast instead of be
ing a Newfoundland dog was of the turn
spit breed, sired by a faithfull animal
which gave motion and circulation to
Gov. Tompkiu’s spit, during the whole of
the war. \Vhon we reflect on the impor
tant service of Gov. Tompkins, it will be
allowed that the animal who filled this im
portant station, in the Governor’s com
missariat, was not the least meritorious
citizen of a “ Patriot State.” Dr Cole
man, as soon as the idea spread that the
dog wak for the Administration, immedi
ately threw out the intimation, that be was
mad and sent up to Duchess and Or
ange, to engage all the Scutellaria latifolia
which the two counties could furnish.—
His friends humoured him in it, on :he
ground, that if the dog was not mad, there
were men that were ; and that all events
if the Scutellaria did no good, it would
do no harm.
IIow far the prejudice would have
spread, that the dog was for the adminis
tration, it is impossible to say, had it not
been for the sagacious doubt raised by
Mr. Van Buren, as to the fact. This
gentleman had been down with a bag of
dollars in one hand and a bludgeon in the
other, to William-street where the dog
was exhibited, to endeavour “ to improve
the condition” of the National Advocate.
On h:s return, he stopped in an the dog’s
lodgings, and instantly pronounced the an
imal to have no one trace of a friend to
the administration about it. He then took
out the “Coalition Circular,” and run
ning it over, observed that the dog was j
not named in it, as one of the friends of
'he Administration, and that if he had
been it was no positive proof, as was
shown in the case of his valued friend,
Mr Webb, of Illinois, who had nobly S3nt
to the newspapers a private letter address
ed to him, under the belief, that he was
a friend to the Administration. Deter
mined, however, to settle the matter by
actual enquiry.
Mr. Van B. approached tlie. dog ”in
the most insinuating manner” and the fol
lowing curious scene ensued
Mr. Van B. Allow me, Mr. Ponto, the
pleasure of taking your hand. Ponto
was immediately upon his haunches, and
his forepaw in Mr. Van. Buren’s hand.—-
Mr.Cambreling. who stood by, whispered
half aside to Mr. Van Buron, “You’ll
make a cats paw of him, yet, Martin ; of
which Mr, Van B, rejoined in the same
tone, “ it would’nt be the first I’ve made
a cats paw of, Cam.”
Mr. Van B. Now, Mr. Ponto, are you
not worried at the great encouragement
of the multiplication of Sheep.
Ponto. Bow wow wow.
Mr. Van B. Exactly \to the^ gentle
men present.) Is not this a genuine com
bination answer? what better do we
say, in reply to the various arguments,
with which we are pressed. The dog has
given us an explicit bow wow, which I
take to be equivalent to Bay, that if he
could get out among the sheep, he would
worry them and their master too ; sound
opposition doctrine. But let us look a
little further ; (turning to the dog) Mr.
Ponto , what is your opinion of“ the con
dition of the press” in the United States.
Mr. Ponto. Bow wow wow: wow-wow.
Mr. Van Buren. Admirable! Gen
tlemen, did you ever hear the presses en
listed in our cause, better described.- It
is but another mode of saying, that the
TelegrapJ) is the most decent, honest, im
partial, and truth telling newspaper in the
count y, and as such, entitled to be the
organ of the Senate of the United Sates.
When Gales and Seaton hear of this sen
timent of Ponto, they will be struck with
dismay. One more question and I shall
be satisfied, Mr. Ponto, what is your
opinion on tire subject of the colonial
trade ?
Ponto. Bow wow wow: Bow wow
wow : Bow bow bow wow wo\v wow:
Bow wow wow.
Mr Van Buren. Inimitable! Most
excellent! I assure you, gentlemen, that
in those few words, Ponto lias compris

said on the subject, by Cambreling, Gen.
Smith, and myself. He tells you that/

PnOM THE BOSTON COURIER.
Doctor Francia, the Dictator of Paraguay.
This singular person, who governs with
an absolute rule an extensive region in
Souih America, has been enabled to throw
an almost impenetrable veil of secresy
over Ins proceedings, and keep the rest
of the world in ignorance of the concerns
of the government, by his practice of de
taining all foreigners who entered his ter
ritory. The following minute account of
his person and occupation is translated
from the Journal du Havre :
“ This man is about the middle size
with regular features, and eyes of that
beautiful blackness which is common to
the creoles of South America; his look is
penetrating and mistrustful, his age is six
ty although he appeers ten years young
er.
His daily life is remarkably regular.
The first rays of the sun seldom sur
prise him in bed. On rising a negro brings
him a chafTing-dish, boiler, and a pot of
water, which he heats in his presence,
when the Dictator prepares with great
care his mate or Paraguay tea : this being
drunk, he walks to the peristyle adjoining
the court of his dwelling, smoking a cigar,
which he takes care to unroll beforehand
lest it should contain something poison
ous, and this although his own sister had
been the manufacturer. At six oMock
arrives his barber, a dirty mulatto, in rags,
and drunk, but the only member of the
faculty to whom be intrusts himself If
the Dictator is in a good humor, he chats
with him, and
^s. ,
moment he imagines any attempt threat
ening his authority, or disrespect to his
person. It is an unpardonable offejice to
omit giving him the title of excellentissimo
senor, although for himself, he treats eve
ry one with the greatest familiarity, ex
cept a few strangers, a habit which he has
acquired by degrees, as his power in
creased.
With this excessive jealousy of his own
authority, the Dictator has never possess
ed a real confidant. In none of his un
dertakings has he ever taken counsel of
any one ; no person can boast of having
exerted the least influence over him. If
sooner or later the fate which has over
taken all oppressors of their country,
should surprise him, it will be to himself
alone that he can ascribe the cause of his
downfall.
A fact.—An honest Dutchman was re
cently travelling with his wagon, when
he reached the well known “Hot Springs;”
the road passing near, and the old gentle
man being in a strange part, and ignorant
of the heat of the water, stopped his team
for the purpose of watering, them. He
left his son, who was with him stand
ing with the horses—the old man took his
water-bucket, and dipping it into the wa
ter, found it sufficiently hot to scald an
egg-
At this the old gentleman was much a-
larmed; he hastily gathered up his bucket,
and addressing his son most vehemently,
he exclaimed—Shon, Shon ! oh my Got!
trive on mit all your might vor pe sure
often makes use of this 1 Shon, Hell is not won mile from dis place.

Have just received afresh supply of the celebrated
Swaim’s Panacea.
that a certain expenditure of public money
had been made, for his especial accomoda- ,dcnt or Secretary of Stale, we should get
tion. On its being understood, at N. York,
that the dog could spell, a friend of Mr.
Randolph, at the written request it is said,
of Mr. Randolph, himself, immediately
propounded to hint tlie word congress,
apparently expecting, that lie would begin
it with a K. The dog was, however, too
rauch for them, and returned them a pret
ty short bark for their trouble. The
log’s arithmetic was7->ut 10 a singular and
very satisfactory test. General Samuel
Smith of Baltimore, who, in company
vitli Mr. M’Lano of Delaware, on Ins
way to the Springs, was passing through
Now York, seeing the dog at -vork, at a
state, with a pencil in his fore paw, asked
him “ how many minutes there were in a
year?” Ponto pricked up his ears, clap
ped ids head a livtlc ou one side, and with
a sort of demi-growl answered, “As ma
ny as there are dollars difference, in the
interest of a five and a six per cent stock.”
Mr. M’Lane was in the act of coming up
to enquire, how long, at the rate of ten
millions of dollars a year, it would take
“ an empty treasury,” to pay off the sixty
millions of national debt, but satisfied
with the light, which General Smith had
obtained, he suppressed the question.
A few more of those smart replies led
to the report, that the dog was a friend to
tue Administration; and it was a little
curious to hear the judgments passed up
on him when this idea got abroad. Mr.
Cambreling threw out dark hints, that,
during the late war, and while “ the pat
riot states,” were straining every nerve
ag iin-it the enemy, the dog was rangin'? at
large in Newfoundland, a well know nenc-
the colonial trade again and have our rum
and sugar t/og-cheap. Gentlemen ! de
pend on Ponto, I pledge myself the dog
goes with us. I do not believe that one
ot us will bark louder or more to the pur
pose than he, next winter. The idea that
the dog is attached to the Administration
is ridiculous, a mere jest ; I have not
heard any reason for it Mr. Keeper!—
“ Siiould the condition of the dog want
improving,” you are authorized to draw-
on General Eaton, as treasurer of the
I iffy Thousand Dollar Fund, to any
amount not exceeding twenty dollars.
05 s ’ Important ! Since the foregoing
was written, the friends of General Jack-
son have made a decided and most impor
tant movement. Three quarters of the
dog have been bought, for tbo handsome
sum of $1000, to be paid out of the “ the
I und.” The keeper retains the other
fourth, and pledges himself to keep the
dog in full berk, till the close of the can
vass.

foundation of
. power. The moral de-
partment of education has too commonly been
restricted to an occasional word of parental ap
probation or reproof; or. at the best, to efforts
limited by the sphere of domestic life. The natu
ral consequence of the restrictions thus iminstlv
laid on education, is, that w e often find, m the |
same individual n learned head, but a debilitated
body, and a neglected heart. Education should,
we think, be regarded as the means of filling man
for the discharge of all his duties : it should pro
duce vigorous and hardy bodies, trained to pow.
crlul action, and inured to privation and fatigue;
hearts formed to all that is pure and noble in
moral principle; and minds prepared for effi
cient exertion in whatever mav be their depart
ment in the great business of accomplishing the
purposes of human existence. Under these im
pressions, wc shall give to physical education that;«
proportion of our attention which seems due to
its importance. 'loral education we shall cou.-i-
der as embracing whatever is to form the habits
and stamp the character. The influence of a-
ample in the sphere of daily intercourse, we re
gard as tire most powerful instrument in the for
mation of moral habits In no light do we con-
template the progress of education w ith more M
satisfaction, than when we view it as elevating fit
and purifying the gi eat body of the comir.unin , jfl
and thus affording to the attentive and reflecting I
parent, the pleasing assurance, that his efforts fl
with iiis children at home, will not be counter- gfi
acted by contaminating example abroad. Par- jfl
ticularattention will be paid to domestic education, Ej
or that which emanates from parental and family S
influence ; nor shall we neglect personal educa. fl
tion, or that w hich consists in the voluntary for- JSb
mation of individual chaiacter.
The subject of female education is one w hich
was deemed unspeakably important. Wc have
no hesitation in expressing our conviction that it
has not yet received the consideration which it
merits. Whatever concerns the culture of the
female mind, extends ultimately to the formatiou
of all minds, at that early and susceptible period
when maternal influence is forming the impres.
sions which eventually terminate in mental and
moral habits. But the theme is too full of impor
tant and interesting topics to admit of discussion
in a prospectus. There is no department of our
labours, from which wc anticipate a higher gratv
fication, than onr endeavors to aid the instruc
tion of the female sex.
Our efforts shall be directed chiefly to early
and elementary education, because it is, in our
view, more important than that of any other pe
riod or department. At the same time, we shafl
not omit the higher branches of science and lit
erature, nor the training preparatory to profes
sional pursuits. In particular branches of in
struction, we have no favorite theories to obtrude,
lo what is of old standing, we have no hostility
arising merely from its being old. Novelty we
shall always regard as an indifferent circum
stance, rather than a lecommendation. But ex
planatory, practicaHnsfruction, under whatever
name it may appear, we shall he happy all times
to aid with our best exertions.
As our pages are to be devoted exclusively to
the cause of education throughout our country,
an earnest and cordial invitation is given to per- :
sons in every quarter, who take an interest in
our labours, to assist us by the communication of
useful and interesting matters.
