Also—Dr. Ruschenberger’s series of first books of Natu ral History, comprising Anatomy and Physiology, Mamma- logy. Ornithology, Ichthyology, and Herpetology, Euto- roolngy, Concbofogy, Botany and Geology. It is not saying loo mu:'h’of these books, that they are the best, upon the subjects of which they treat, that have ever been prcoare.1 for the use of schools. A knowledge of the merits of these books will insure their introduction iu the schools throughout Georgia. The intro- duction of new and valuable books into cur schools, always is an indication of a progression in education. These valu- able school books are to be found in almost every country town in the State. Of tbe very many recommendations, we hare received we present the lollowing from Rev. Mr. Ileman: Sir:—Having with care examined the “new series of readers for schools,” published by Messrs Grigg 4 Elliott, without hesitation. I give it as my opinion that they are ex- cellent books, well adapted to tlie purposes for which they are designed and as a whole decidedly superior to any thing of the kind I have seen. - 1 have also examined Dr. Ruschenberger’s "First Bonk of Natural History (except the 8th number) with great plea- sure, and can most cordially recommend these little volume^ to teachers, as eminently calculated to interest and instruct their pupils iu the subjecU of which.

With all liis vein of sly satire, the author of ‘ The New I imou’ is evidently more at home in the <xprcssion ef tenderness and grace, than in the indulgence of bitter irony. ‘ The Maiden and the Kings’, a metrical romaunt, which the gen tle Lucy sings to the dreamy Calamha, in mel ody and .rythmical perfeclion, may vie tvi'h the ‘Adieu adieu, my native Land,’ itr the first canto of ‘ Cliilde Harold.’ We cite it entire j tlie exclusion of a single line would damage the symmetry of form, which is its greatest charm •And far as sweep the seas below, My sails are on the deep; - And far as yonder eagles go. My flag on every keep. ‘Why o'er tbe rebel world within Extended! not the chart? A o sail can reach—no arms can win The kingdom of a heart 1’ 8o sigh'd the King—the linden near; A listener heard the sigh, And thus the heart he did not bear, Breathed back the soft reply. ‘And far as sweep the seas bllow, His sails are on the deep | And far as yonder eagles go, His flag on every keep j ‘Love, thou art not a king alone, Both slave and king thou art! Who seeks to sway must stoop to own The kingdom of a heart! So sigh’d the Maid, the linden near. Beneath the lonely sky ! Oh, lonely noil—for angels hear The humblest human sigh! His ships are vanish’d from the main, Hia banners Irom the keep j The carnage triumphs on the plain; The tempest on tbe deep. ‘The purple and tlie crown are mine,* An Outlaw sigh’d—*no more; But still as greenly grows the viue.

Have changed the kingdom found 1’ In the following -apostrophe to Love there are some beautiful thoughts : And what then chanced T Oh leave not told but guest; Is love a God T—a temple, then, the breast! Not to the crowd in cold detail allow It* delicate worship, it* in.wimMa *»» / Around the first sweet homage in the shrine Let the veil fall, and but the pure divine! Coy asthe violet shrinkingfrom the Sun, The blush of Virgin Youth first woo’d and woo ; And scarce let boly from the vulgar ear Tlie tone that tremble! but with noble fear: Near to God’s throne tbe solemn stars tliat move Tbe proud to meekness, and ilia pure to love! The two lines in italics are worthy of Shelly. In his exuberant imagery and classical lore the author, by the way, not seldom recals that poet —the sweetest of all sweet singers—only that the measure of the • New Timon’ verse is one in which the creator of ‘Prometheus’ rarely iu- dulged. The passage below has an inkling of Lord Byron, in one of his so frequent moods of contemplation, where melancholy lends philo sophy a sad but graceful hue. And both were children in this world of ours. Maiden and savage! the same mountain flowers, Not trimmed in gardens, not exchanged their hues. Fresh from the natural sun and hardy dews. For the sick fragrance and delicate dies Which Art calls forth by walling out tbe skies I Here is an exquisite bit of descriptive poetry; ’Twas noon, and broken by the gentle gloom Of coolest draperies, through tlie shadowy room, • la moled abaft aslant, the golden ray Forced lingering in. through tiers of flowers, its way, Glanced on tbe lute, (just bush’d, to leave behind Elysian dreams, tbe music of the mind.) Play’d round the surgstresa, and with warmer flash Steep'd the young cheek, unconscious of its blush, And fell .as if in worship, at thy base. O sculptured Psyche of the soul lit face, Bending to earth resign'd the mournful eye. Since earth must prove the pathway to tlie sky; Doomed here, below; Love’s foot print to explore Till Jove relents the destined wandering o’er, And in immortal groves, Soul meets with Love once more. And, side by side, the lovers sate—their words Low mix’d with notes from Lucy's joyous birds, 8ale witnesses—and fit—those airy things. That, midst the bars,can still unfold the wings, And soothe the cell with language learn’d above; As the caged biid—so os the earth is love 1 The picture of ‘sculptured Psyche’ is in the highest flight of poesy. The author complains, in a foot note, that this beautiful specimen of British art has been neglected by connoisseurs, who have failed to acknowledge in it the mas- terpicce of Phidias. 'He prefers it to tlie Ve nus at Florence—and says that Sir Edward Bulwer Lylton was the first to call attention to it, as the greatest treasure in the rich museum of Naples. FAME. What is fame ?

I stood in Athens.— From the lofty Acropolis I looked forth upon Greece. The shades of evening were fading around me, as I stood among the shuttered monuments of the intellectual city, and saw at my feet the marble of Phidias. The sun was sinking in his glory, ard fling ing liis parting smile upon scenes so lovely, that he might well linger in his leave-taking. Every peak about me blazed with lustre, and, the glancing waves of the sea, upon which I looked down, were bright. There stood Minerva’s temple bathed in light, as it had glowed in days forever fled, blessing the eye of the Greek when, returning from his wanderings, he looked upon it front the far off sea. Tlie day hath gone, but see in that sky, yet bright with its fading glory, is the evening eiar. * * * * I stood musing upon scenes gone by. Here is Athens. Here, on this spot, for thirty cen turies, thousands have lived, and loved, and thought, and died. Wealth, genius, power, have trod this field, and wrought their deeds here. The fame of their achievments is throughout the whole earth. The wonderful history of the spot rose be fore me, like a magnificent vision. Event of. ter event passed in review, the mighty actors in the glorious past, swept by me with all their deeds. The Kings of Athens, her armies, her fleets, lier-scholars, were in my presence.— First came Cecrops, with his Egyptian colony; the robes of the King mingled with the gar ments of the Priest. He plants- the olive in honor of Minerva, and builds an altar to Jupi ter. His venerable form glided away, and, one by one, seventeen forms, with kingiy bearing, passed on. Tne last I recognized as Codrus, tlie patriot King, who loved his country better than his life, and sought, in disguise, amid the conflicting ranks of tlie Her.iclidse, that death which the oracle had declared would purchase victory for the arms of his people, and which his enemies would have denied to him, had they, known that it was Codrus whom they slruck. The fight is over—the Athenians arc con querors, l ut lamentations are mingled with re- joicings, for they mourn a victory bought at such a price. Tliey S'llendy declare, that no one is worthy to succeed Codrus, and that henceforth no man shall rule in Athens with the title of King. Before me stood the successors of tlie Kings not less lofty their bearing, nor is their spleu dour less. The pride of ancestry, the dignity of authority, sat upon their brows; and the purity of private life, the splendor of public services, the stern administration of justice, made them truly illustrious. At the fire-side, in the temple of justice, on tho battle-field they were above reproach. Under their wise and virtuous administration, their countrymen became renowni" 1 — — 1 — glory or «tio Athenian name reached the remote barbarians. Polished yet vigorous, refined yel -manly, cultivating the most elegant arts, out stripping the world in 6tatunry and painting, teaching the sublimest philosophy, and tlie sternest morality ; they were free, and upon the sea and upon the laud their standard flout ed in triumph. I look forth upon tho Ijroad surface of the Egeaen. A glorious beauty overspreads it, and its delightful islands sleep in undisturbed quiet- The heavens are mirrored in its gentle bo som, and the tiny waves scarcely break its re- pose. But see a sail flits* upon its surface, and another and yet another—transports crowded with mailed hosts sweep in view—and a stra’n of martial music breaks over the waters; I seo the crowded ranks of the Persian. I hear his insolent shout of anticipated conquest, as he draws nigh to the shores of Greece. He bears with him chains for the free. Tlid un warlike Naxians fly ; the inhabitants of Delos are too soft for the buttle; Paros, beautiful Pa ros, with its sparkling marble, is deserted.— The clustering vines of Andros afford no shel ter for its people, and the beautiful islands which so lately slept in tranquility, resound with dashing arms, and are violated by tlie hostile tread of the Persians. Flushed with easy vic tory, the myrmidons of Darius approached Athens. Upon the plains of Marathon, the host have pitched their tents. They promise themselves, conquest and plunder, and are im- paiienl lo rush upon a people, who though they might be too proud lo fly, ore too weak to resist. The experienced Dutis, the illustrious Ar- taplicrnes with the blood of Kings in his veins, and the banished, treacherous liippias, head the Persiau ranks. Before them, Miltiadcs plants his ten thou sand Athenians and his ten hundred Platenns. I see the waving banners, the flashing steel, tlie rush of host against host. 1 * hear the ter rible shock of battle—the Greek strikes for bis home and every blow tells—the Persinn cav alry is hotly pressed—it is broken. The Per sian hosts give back. Onward rushes the Greek spear, and thousands of tho invaders die.— Rank after rank retreats—they turn, they fly, and the mighty army of Ddrius, lately ao gor geous and so confident, is scattered in wild flight. They pause not even in their camp ; they rush to their ships. The Senate of Ath ens in solemn assembly await the result of the battle. They trust in the steady valor of their countrymen, but they know the tremendous strength of the Persian army—their country, their all—is involved in the issue. It is an nounced tliat a soldier covered with dust and blood, flying from the field of battle, approach es. The Senators, in their anxiety, rise lo their feel to receive him. He enters in hot haste—“ Rejoice with the v:ctor,” lie shouts, and expires. Xerxes, with his millions, determines on the conquest of Greece. lie covers the sen and the land with his myrmidons. The great burners, which nature had erect ed against him, are removed. He brings with him all his regal splendor, and surrounds him self not only with the strength, but the pomp of war. Bis magnificent tents, beautiful with silk and gold, overspread the land, and his ves. sels gay with every adornment, which wealth could supply, float upon the neighboring sea. He ascends an eminence to survey the scene— and as lie looks forth upon the sea aud upon the land, nnd beholds the hosts armed lo deso late the fair lands beneath him, his kingly heart is smote—and he weeps. But the love of con quest flames up within him. From Doris, from Thessaly, from ilie mountains of Pindus, Ossa, Pelion, and Olympus, come to him messengei* with the humiliating symbols of submission. The Thebans court the friendship of the pow erful Persian. But not all the states of Greece have yie ded—no. Some are unsubdued.—^ Witness Thermopylae. The Persian army approaches Athens. But the Athenians where are they ? Have they abandoned their city ? They haVe. The tombs of their ancestors, and their temples are forsaken ; their wealth, the adornmer.'ts of their homes, their statues, their pictures are all left to the destroyer, and with their wives and their children, they seek, upon the sea, the safely which they could not find upon their natal aoil. “ Tliey were willing,” in the language of an elegant historian, “ to relinquish all for tha sake of their country, which they knew consist ed not in their houses, lands and effects, hut that equal constitution of government, which j they had received from their ancestors, and which it was theft - duty to transmit unimpaired to posterity.” Day breaks over the Buy of Salanra. Thtf Grecian ships are drawn up in the order of battle. The spirit of Tiiemistocles is diffused throughout the whole multitude. Tbe sacred hymns and paeans of the Greeks srdute the light, and now break forth the triumphant song of war, and the stirring voice of tho trumpet/ given back in still louder and louder peula from the shores of Attica, and the rocks of Salami*' and Psj’talico. ’ The Persian ships bear up fd tlie bailie. Seated on a lofty eminence, en throned, on the top of Mount jEgeuIes,‘ihfc mote- arch of Persia looks out upon the figlitr " A King sate on tlie rocky brow, Which looks o’er sea-born Salnmis,- Aud ships by thousands lay below. And meu in nations; all were his ! He counted them at break of day— And when she set, where were they 7 As that sitting s-in sank upon the sea, fitf poured his sp'endor upon the wrecked and scat tered fragments of the Persian flee!. Every hostile prow is turned from Greece*.—•* Xerxes starts in wild despair fiom his silver throne. He tears his splendid robes, tied in deep dismay, abandons ail thoughts of conquest/ and seeks only to plant his feet onco more on' tlie soil of Asia, I bok upon Plalaea. The sun flings his first light upon the Persian tents, and their apkjndof is dazzling. The hour of couflicl is at hand.* Three hundred thousand arms flash upon thA' plant of bailie. The Persian commander, up on his white steed, leads his hosts in person 1 ,* ami animates them by his voice and his deeds. But Greek valor, and Greek sieel, meet tliA shock unmoved. Fiercely burns the rage of battle. It is evening. Platsea is red with the blood of the Persians. Mordanius and his milk- white slued have fallen together beneath the Grecian spear. Tlie Greek is revelling iu Per sian tents. He seizes the magnificent couches Bfs\\Loi ,l tM-' told value, his scimclars adorned wilii precious stones, and his treasures heaped in chests. Upon the promontory of Mycale, a like scene meets my view. The uciors in these scenes have passed away, but their glory is undying—and this may well be called •• Clime of the unforgotten brarO Fair clime! where every season tmiles. Benignant o’er these blessed isle*— Which seem from far Colomia’s height, Make glad the heart tliat hails the sight. And ieud to loneliness delight.” Here is Athens. The glorious deed still crowd upon me. The venerable form of So crates is before me. His meek face* and calm high brow, present a true picture of that phi losophy, which recognizes man as an immortal being, and bids him lookout upon elernily.— He trod ibese streets—he looked upon ibis sea—these heavens were arched above his head, unfolding their glorious magnificence, by day and uight, to his coniempUuion. He speaks, and I listened to his sublime speculations. The wing of his thought soars high in til* heavens, and flashes in the sun, as it seeks to discover and explore unknown worlds. 1 fol low him lo his prison ; what a sublime philbso. phy does he here teach ? He takes Ihs poi soned cup with no trembling hand, and puts it lo liis bps, yet eloquent with tho language of unearthly truth. He is followed by Plato, his pupil. I recog nise him by the c-legnnce of his manner, the* polish de' ived from extensive travel, and hy that brow upon which Wisdom has stamped the im-* press of her own majestic nature. The divinity stirs within him. The lustre of high and un earthly contemplation is upon his face. Hi»* conversation discloses the wealth of Ins lettrA. ing—learning acquired, not only from the lipff' ol Socrates, whose instructions he enjoyed for* eight years, but from intercourse .with the great ol every land. After the death of his ihusirioos' teacher, he turned his footsteps from Athens,* and visited Megara, Thebe and Elis. The Py thagorean philosophy draws him into Magna' Graecia. Curious to observe the wonders nature, he visits the volcanic fires of Sicily.^^ lie fame of the mathematician Theodo’us iiW iies him to Egypt, and lie peifects himself io philosophy. His mind being now stored with all .the learn ing that the world could yield him, he rcturtis j h s native city, and erecting his temple <n tlie loves of Academus, he surrounds himself with - a crowd of illustrious pupils. Unseduced by p< 1 tic ;1 convulsions, for forty yeais devotes' himself to divine philosophy, makes man, hi* nature, nnd his destiny, the subject of his oofl 4 temptations,and entertains his friends with dint courses lull of eloquence and truth.- Among the mighty dead who rise before me, Demosthenes stands forth,-distinguished by fhe severe majesty of liis countenance. Accustom ed to utter his thoughts upon the sea shore,* wheri Iks voice had been trained to master the fbhr of tiie waves, which dashed and broke at his' feet,< he addresses the multitudes about him, nnd they are still. He pours upon them the energy of liis own soul, and they are swayed, like reeds' before liie tempest. While he appeals to their love of country, and describes :lit? invader ap-’ preaching the city, the deep, loud cry of popu lar en husiasm is heard from their ranks—“ Let ut march against Philip.” But alas ! who cair promise himself the lasting enjoyment of pop ular favor? Let the dying lips of the poisoned Demosthepes answer. Glorious city, with thy wealth of fame, I must leave thee. The night dews are heavy October 28, 1845.
