BEAUTY.
When first f bowed to Beauty's charms
The thrill of lovo my Imsom fired, (
I fondly watcbed its sweet alarms,
Its fairest glowing tint's admired:
But now no more shat’ passion jjlo'w
Impnri’stich light ephemeral joy.
With ripened years will reason flow
And fancy’s shadowy gleams destroy.
To beauty’s charms wc look in vatu
The sweets of happiness to find,
A fleeting shade enn ne'er enchain
The thoughtful, calm, reflecting mind.
The May-day bloom its tints displays,
A moment we admire tbc flower.
Then careless turn the listless gaze
Cloyed with its momentary power.
But when wc hear ihe treasured mind
With wisdom’s accents charm the ear,
Its precepts pure and taste refined
Claims for its source a homage doar;
Such lasting joys as ne’er decay.
Bet brighter burn with ripened age,
Will all our worldly toil repay
Whoa other worlds our thoughts engage.

THE SNOW.
Tho silvery snow !—the silvery snow !r—
Like a glory it falls on tlKs fields below;
And the trees with their diamond branches ap-,
pear
Like the fairy growth of some magical sphere;
While soft as music, and wild and white,
It glitters and floats in the pale moonlight.
And spangles the river aud fount as they flow ;
Oh! who has not loved the bright, beautiful
snow !
The silvery snow, aud the crinkling frost—
How merry we go when the Earth seems lost:
Like spirits that rise from the dust of'lime,
To live in a purer ::ud holier clime!—
A now creation without a stain—*
Lovely as Ileaveu’s own pure domain!
But ah! liko the many bur hopes of our years,
It slitters awhile— and then melts into tears!

FAITH AND WORKS.
For my part when 1 am employed in serving
others, 1 " do uot consider myself conferring fa
vors, but ns paying debts. In my travels ano
since my settlement, I have received much kind
ness from men to whom 1 shall never have op
portunity of making any direct return; au«j num
berless mercies from God, who is infinitely above
beiug benefitted by our services. Those kind
nesses from men, I can therefore only-return on
their fellow men ; aud I cau only show my gra-
tititde for these mercies from God by a readiness
to help his other children and my brethren, for I
do not think that thanks and compliments, tho’
repeated weekly, can discharge our real obliga
tions to each other, nod much less to our Crea
tor. You will see in this my notion of good
icorks, that I am far from expecting to merit
Heaven by them. By Heaven we understand-a
state of happiness inGntito in degree and eternal
in duration : I can do uotbing to deserve snch
rewards. He that for giving a ikrink of water to
a thirstv person should expect to bo paid with a
good plantation, wonld be modest in his de
mands, compared with those who think they me
rit Heaven for the little good they do on earth —
Even the mixed imperfect pleasures wc enjoy in
this world are rather from God's goodness than
our merit: how much more such happiness ol
llcavcn ! For my part I have not the vanity
to think I deserve it, tho folly to expect it. nor
tho ambition to de.ire it; but content myself in
submitting to tho will and disposal of that Gou

Ou the ISth, Parliatncnt was prorogued to the
I5th of January. A Dissolution was considered
certain, and the proclamation t‘» that effect was
expected to make its appearance in a very few
days. It was however asserted that the 1 ory
party would gain but little increase ia streugth
by the operation. A letter from the North of
Scotland says. “I don’t think the New Govern
ment can gain above three votes by a dissolution
iu Scotland.” And a friend in the South says—
“In short, Scotland will have ono ot two Con
servatives more, fewer Whigs, and more Liber
als.”
Dissolution of Parliament.—After very
serious deliberation, it has, wc believe, been de
cided that tho balance of public convenience is m
favor of a dissolution of the existing Parliament.
We of course are not aware of those reasons, the
predominance of which has led to this conclusion;
ne therefore cannot give any opinion beyond
w hat we have more than once stated—that we
at least are not award of die absolute necessity
of such a proceeding. We lose no time, howev
er, in stating what we believe to be true that
the dissolution will take place in a very few days;
most probably before next week.—Times.

The slaves were not permitted to receive an ed

able to pay for it. If they would propose to take
our lands for the education of tho really poor of
all tho States, ff there were constitutional ob
jections, he would seriously think of the propo
sition ; but to be lavishing onr gifts on the lords
of Alabama, was like the Cormorant picking op
crumbs from the Robin, they would do bun uo
good, and yet the Robin might makeamoal upon
them. Just so he said in this case, these two
per cents, and odd acresof the government, were
of no consequence to our rich neighbors, .-u i

When the Senator from Alabama bad made a di
rect apology to the Senate for introducing such a
bill, he should move to lay it oh the table.
Mr. WEBSTER said that this fund was a res
ervation for the pm nose of making roads, and
this was an application to change the fund, am
apply it to purposes of educatiou, and il the wtato
of Alabama preferred it. he sav no reason why
we should oppose it. Mr. W. then enlarge
the subject of education, and suggested that two
principles should lie incorporated m this bill; hist
{hat the schools should bo free ; and next, that
thsv should bo common, so as to obviate the ms-
iinctions of rich and poor among the schoJars—
llo therefore suggested an amendment ro the bill,
that the fund “should bo a permanent fund,.to
establish free common schools,” in conform! y
with his views of the subject. . ' .
Mr. POINDEXTER expressed hmiscll satis
fied with the amendment, but thought i! It was a-
dopted. individuals who were able to contribute
something for the support of schools, might per
haps he prevented from doing so.
!Slr KING of Ala. was in favor of the nraena
ment suggested by the gentleman from Massa
chusetts, but ho was opposed to the bill. He
doubted the power of Congress to change tlie
destination of the fund. And the State of Alaba
ma was not willing, so far as he was informed,
that il should bo changed, lie objec ted to the
bill- too, that it proposed to repeal tho ordinance
l.v which Alabama was admitted mto the Umon.
lie however, preferred tho amendment which
went to the establishment of free common schools
if the bill was to pass. „ r
After some conversation between Messrs. hW -
ING, MOORE, and KING, the amendment was
agreed to. , , , '
Mr. POINDEXTER then moved further to
amend the amendment, bv striking out the sec
ond section, which repealed the ordinance admit
ting Alabama into the Union, which was agreed
to, ami the bill was reported to the Senate.
