It never thrilled v. ith anguish more, Though beaten by the fiercest blast ; The pang that thus its bosom tore Was dreadful—but it was its last.

The following beautiful effusion is the produc tion of a native of New Hampshire, only 17 years old, and now in obscurity. Such lays would almost wake the lyre again, and the author need write but few pieces like this, to be sufficiently known. THF. LYRE. Ibere was a lyr-’, ’tis said, that hung High waving in the summer air; An a'-grl hand its cords had strung, And left to breathe its music there. Each wandering breeze that o’er it flew Awoke a wilder, sweeter strain, Than ever sh 11 of mermaid blew, In coral grottoes of the main. When, springing from the rose’s bell, Where all night he had sweetly slept, The zepi yr left the flow’rv dell. Bright with the tears that morning wept; He rose, and o’er the trembling lyre, Waved lightly his soft azm e wing ; What touch such music could inspire ! What harp such lays of joy could sing? The murmur of the shaded tills, The birds t. at warbled sweetly by, And the soft echo from the hills. Were heard not when that harp was nigh. When the last light of fading day, Along the bosom of the west, Jn colors softly mingled lay, When night had darkened all the rest; Then softer ban that fading light, And sweeter than the lay that rung Wild through the silence of the night. When solemn Philomela sung, The harp its plaintive murmurs sighed Along the dewy breeze of even , So soft and sweet they swelled and died, Thev r seemed the echoed songs of heaven. Sometimes, when all the air was still, Nor e’en the poplar’s foliage trembled, That lv re was nightly heard to thrill Tones that no earthly, tones resembled. And then, upon the moon’s pale beams, Unearthly forms were seen to stray, Wi ••■se starry pinions’ trembling gleams, Wouid of; around the wild harp pi y. But - ion the bloom of summer fled— In earth and air it shone n ■ more ; Each flower and leaf fell pale and dead, Whin* heaven its wintry sternness wore. One day loud lew the northern blast; The ten.pest’s fury raged along— O for some angel, as they passed, To shield the harp of heavenly song 1 It shrieked ! how could it bear the touch, The ■ Id rudeti«ch of uch a storm ! When e en the zephyr’s seemed too much Sometimes, though always light aud warm 1 HOME. A.FRAGMENT Twas Sunday evening ; The last rays of the setting sun had tinged the horizon with gold—the blue vault of heaven was cloudless, calm and serene. Mingled sounds of the pearly rivulet, and the bird of song, came stealing upon the soul, sweet as the visions of youth—soft mur murs bifoke in upon the stilly silence, like music nt the hour of repose.—The lake unruffl ed by a single breeze, seemed to smile in its quiet rest, as if storm and tem pest were a thing unknown—its bound less depths were glowing brightly as the polished mirror, with unnumbered trees and blossoms impressed upon its bosom. The gentle Zephyr so lightly breathed upon the dewy bowers, that even the as pen leaf would have forgotten its trem bling. The glad earth, which I had seen but a f'fwshort months before clad in a wintry garment of fleecy snow, was now clad in cheerfulness and smiles, declaring that Might and frost had passed away. Mingled recollections came crowding thicU and fast upon the soul, when on turning an angle in the road, the village of B - , now my home burst upon my view in all its peerless beauty ; the much loved friends I had left but a few months ago, blooming with health and happiness, might now be slumbering in their narrow house of solitude and si lence, and the bright blossoms of May might now be blooming over their resting place * ***** ’Twas the hour of prayer. With countenances beeming with health and hope, with hearts beat ing high with gratitude to the Author of all good, the children of the most High came up to the feast of the tabernacles. There, before the altar—there,in the tem ple of the Eternal, was raised the anthem and the song to Him who made the world. Not to appease his vengence did his chil dren bow before hint, but to thank him for that kindness and the care which knows no bound. At this hour so beauti ful and bright—the type of that glorious world where tears and sighs are never known—when the soul is filled with joy and gladness—tis their in that soft hour of peace, when communing with Him who is invisible, that we have a foretaste of those unspeakable joys that flow at God’s right hand—’tis then we look forwards to that bright period, when purged from every impurity and earthly frailty, we shall wing our way to a homo of glory, where our praises will be without trembling and our thanksgivings unmingled with tears.

The Dinner.—Mr. Clay has declined the honor of the public dinner, to which he was invited by the citizens of this place, on account of his being obliged to return very soon to Washington City. It was at first intended to give the dinner in town ; but it soon appeared, that no roOtn could bo found large enough to accommodate all, who wished to attend it; and on that ac count, it would have been transferred to some convenient place in the vicinity. There is one fact, which demonstrates the absurdity & incredibility of the charge made by Gen. Jackson against Mr. Clay. The charge alleges, that the friends of Mr. Clay would make Jackson President in an hour. But it was known at that time to an absolute certainty, that the friends of Mr. Clay could do no such thing, if they had all gone over to Jackson, it was well known j that they could not elect him. Would they be so absurd as to offer to do that, which they knew they could not do I And what were they to gain by it 1 No thing—certainly nothing for Mr. Clay.— How ridiculous then, to be charging him with an intrigue, which he tould not fulfil. But the administration must be put down, right or wrong, and though pure as the angles—that accounts for it. Kentuckey Focus. We have heard the following anecdote, which places in a strong light the fearless courage of the Superintendent of the Sirtg Sing State Prison (in New York,) and the salutary awe with which he has inspired the criminals under his charge. Having had occasion to inflict some severe pun ishment upon two or three of the convicts after they had retired among their fellows, one of them was heard to declare in tfie most solemn manner, and with a tremen dous oath, that he “ would be the death of the superintendent.” whenever a fair opportunity offered. This declaration was conveyed to him by a convict who over heard it. On the following morning, the .superintendent went to the cell of the con vict who had threatened him, carrying in his hand his shaving utensils. He lock ed the door, put the key in his pocket, and sitting dmvnordeied the convict to shave him. The fellow, surprised at this novel command, proceeded, not without trepidation, to perform the task imposed upon him. He finished the operation in go2d stile. The superintendent then rose, and said to him “ are you not ashamed to make a threat, which your cowardice will not allow you to carry into execution ? I have heard of your having sworn to take my life, asd came here to show you that it did not frighten me, and to let you know what kind of man you have to deal with.” [American..

A leading object of the Journal will be to fur nish a record of facts, embiacing whatever infor mation the most diligent inquiry can procure, regarding the past and present state of education, in the United States, and in foreign countries. An opportunity will thus be afforded for a fair com parison of the merits of various systems of in struction. The results of actual experiment will be presented; and the causes of failure, as well as of success, may thus be satisfactorily traced, and be made to suggest valuable improvements. The conductors of the Journal will make it their constant endeavor to aid in diffusing enlarg ed and liberal views of education. Nothing, it seems to us, has more influence in retarding the progress of improvement in the science of instruo tion, than narrow and impartial views of what education should be expected to produce. Intel lectual attainmeats have been too exclusively the object of attention. It is too common a thing to cons der a man well educated, if he has made a proper use of (he facilities for the acquisition of learning ; though the result may have been ob tained at the expense of his health, and with much neglect of that moral culture, which is the surest foundation of happiness. In many plans of edu cation, which are in other respects excellent, the fact seems to have been overlooked that man pos sesses an animal, and a moral, as well as an in tellectual constitution. Hence the fatal neglect of the requisite provisions for the developement of the corporeal system, Si the confirmation and improvement of health, the only foundation of mental as well as bodily 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 unjustly laid on education, is, that we often find, in the same individual a learned head, but a debilitated body, and a neglected heart. Education should, we think, be regarded as the means of fitting man for the discharge of off his duties : it should pro duce vigorous and hardy bodies, trained to pow erful 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 may be their depart ment in the great business of accomplishing the purposes of human existence. Under these im pressions, we shall give to physical education that proportion of our attention which seems due to its importance. Moral education we shall consi der as embracing whatever is to form the habits and stamp the character. The influence of ex ample in the sphere of daily intercourse, we re gard as the most powerful instrument in the for mation of moral habits In no light do we con template the progress of education with more satisfaction, than when we view it as elevating and purifying the great body of the community, and thus affording to the attentive and reflecting parent, the pleasing assurance, that his efforts with -bis children at home, will not be counter acted by contaminating example abroad. Par- ticularattention will be paid to domestic education, or that which emanates from parental and family influence; nor shall we neglect personal educa tion, or that which consists in the voluntary for mation of individual character. The subject of female education is one which was deemed unspeakably important. We 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 formation of all minds, at that early and snsceptible 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 ia a prospectus. There is no department of our labours, from which we anticipate a higher grati 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 shall 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. To what is of old standing, we have no hostility arising merely from its being old. Novelty we shall always regard as an indifferent circum- stapee, rather than a lecommendation. But ex planatory, practical instruction, under whatever name it may appear, w r e shall be 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.

LIVERPOOL, (eng.) Sept. 1823. The Vegetable Syrup, called Swaim’s Pana cea, prepared by Mr. Swaim, bf Philadelphia, has recently been introduced here by Dr. Price, from the United States of America, where it is now extensively used in the treatment ot a varie ty of Chronic Diseases. Of the efficacy of thjs preparation Dr- Price has had abundant and most satisfactory evidence, duriug a course of experiments made under his direction, whilst Surgeon of the Pennsylvania Hospital; nnd since bis arrival in England, lie has had the good fortune of witnessing many ad ditional instances ofits successful administration. The diseases in which this Medicine has been paiticularly useful, are those arising from con stitutional causes—as in the various forms of Scrofula, whether affecting the bones, joints, or soft parts; and in cases, where a disposition in this disease is manifested by debility only, it operates as a preventive to the local disease by its beneficial effects on the constitution.
