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. TIfE DYING AMEIUGAV TAR.

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 ed the sum and substance of all that was said on the subject, by Cambreling, Gen. Smith, and myself. He tells you that/ if General Jackson should be made Pres ident, and vour humble servant vice-Pres 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.

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.

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.
