. ‘‘A poofs hand and prophet’s fire, E truck the wild warblings of his lyre.” From Winter and Summer Hours ,- hr/ 11. G. Bell. THE UNCLE. I had an uncle once —a man _ Of '.'.reededtfe'years and three— And when my reason’s dawn began, He’d take mo on his knee, And often talke.d whole winter nights, Things that seem’d strange to me. He was a man of gloomy mood, And few his converse sought; Dnt it was said in solitude His conscience with him wrought, And there, before his mental eye. Some hideous vision brought. There was not one in all the house Who did not fear his frown, Save I, a little rareless child, Who gambol’d up and down And often peep’d into his room, And pluck’d him by the gown. I was an orphan and alone — My father was his brother, And all their lives 1 knew that (hey Had fondly lovod each other; And in my uncle’s room there hung The picture of niv mother. There was a curtain over it: ’Twas in a darksome place, Arid few or none had ever lock'd Upon my mother’s face, Or seen her pate, expressive smile Of melancholy grace. One night I do remember weil— The wind was howling high, And through the ancient corridors It soundt-d drearily— -1 sat and read in that old hall, My uncle satclose by. I read, but little understood The words upon the hook, Tot with a side-long glance 3 mark’d My uncle’s fearful look, ' And saw how all his quivering frame With strong convulsions shook. A silent terror o’er mo stole, A strange unusual dread. His lips were white as hone, liis eyes Sunk far down in his head ; lie gazed on me, but ’twas the gaze Of the unconscious dead. Then suddenly he turn’d him round, And drew aside the veil That hung before my mother’s face— I’erchanCe my eyes might fail, Hut ne’er before that face to me Had seem’d so ghastly pale. “ Come hither boy!” my uncle said— L started at the sound, ’Twas choaked end stifled in his throat, And hardly utterance found— * ■•‘Come hither, boy!” then fearfully He cast his eyes around. “That lady was tby mother once, Thou wert her only child— <o God ! I’ve seen her when she held Thee in her arms and smiled ; -She smiled upon thy father, boy* ’Twas that which drove me wild! *‘lle was my brother, but his form Was fairer far than mine; S grudged not that—he was the prop Of our ancestral line, And manly beauty was to him A token and a sign. *‘Hoy!

'‘•ln truth, it was a f earful tiling To see my brother now, And mark’' the placid calm which sat Forever on his brow, "That seemed in bitter scorn to soy, I am tnore loved than thou ! *•1 left rnyhome—l left the land,— 1 crossed the raging sea ; la vain, in vain—where’er I turn’d, My memory went with me ; 2dy whole existence r.i-bt and day Ju memory seem'd to.be, •‘I came r.gaiu, I found Them "bare— Thou’t Like thy father, 'bay,— lie daated on that j*lc face there; I've seen him kiss and toy, • I’ve seen him lock’d in her fond arms Wrapt in delirious-joy. -‘He disappear’d,—draw nearer, child,— He died, no one knew how; "The murder’d body ne'er was found ; The tale is hushed up now; JPut there was one who rightly guess’d * The hand that struck the blow. •“It drove her mad ; yef not his dcallt— No—not Lis death alone, Tor she had clung to hope when all .

His grasp of lead is on my throat, V. ill no one help or save ?” That night they laid him onJiie bed, In raving madness tost; He gnash’d Ms teeth, and with wild oaths Blasphemed, tl/e Holy Ghost; And, ere the light of morning broke, A sinner's soul was lost. Edutation “Just as the twig is bent the tret 's inclin'd." The following Address, was made by Mrs. K xeb, (of the Tuscaloosa (Alabama) Female A cademy, on taking charge of that Institution. I It “ bears the impress of a highly gifted ,an<li cultivated mind, and breathes and. benign spirit of] religion and philanthropy.” ! Young Ladies: —The relation in which 1 now stand to you, is one of so interesting a character, that 1 cannot permit ita commence ment to pass by without presenting to you a | few practical reflections. The subject of Female Education is deser vedly exciting the attention of the benevolent and the virtuous, in every portion of our rap idly-increasing population, and we believe, is destined soon to assume that high station in every Christian community,-which it most im periously demands. But it should be distinct ly understood, that in order to effect so im portant a revolution in the literary character of Young Indies, the greatest share ef the burden, (if a burden it inay be called,) de volves upon themselves, when they shall form a standard of literary excellence of a high or der, to which £tii must attain, who would lay claims to a finished education. 'ihen, and not till then, will the female mind become expanded, and the reproach oi inferiority be wiped off. Favored with every facility for the acquisi tion of solid and refined education,! trust that you, Young Ladies, in conjunction with your Teachers, will deem no exertion too great, no sacrifice of case anil leisure toe severe, for the effecting of an object so intimately con nected with your own happiness, as well as in consideration of the mighty influenoeit will' exert in cultivating the manners, and improv ing the moral condition of society fn general. And since every community is elevated or de graded in sentiment according to the modes of thinking and feeling entertained oy our own sex, suffer ipe, Young Ladies, to remind you, that the only object for which you are here daily to assemble-, is, the the improvement of the maul. To accoinjdidi this, with any success, you must he aware, Will require the unwearied exertions and strict obedience of tlie pupils, no less than the untiring labors of tho instruc tor. Education is not the growth of n few months, or the result of a few spiritless efforts. .Much, —1 may add, all your future success de pends upon tlie disposition and .motives with which you have entered this literary retreat. The desire to learn must always be accompa nied with corresponding exertion. Think not that the path of science is “all strewed with flowers ;” many and arduous will he the struggles which you will be called on to en counter; frequentthe temptations to moderate your perseverance, and oftentimes you may c. ven despair of accomplishing your pursuits. But as ail things are possible to the indefati gable, so “nature gives nothing to mortals without great labor.” -I mention these things not to discourage you, but to correct arty mis taken notions w hich you may have, with re gard to the easiness of acquiring knowledge. But notwithstanding the severity of the pur suit, like some aspiring traveller, who mee ts with no obstacles which he cannot surmount in his asccjit up some lofty and cragged mountain, and finds upon reaching its summit, all his toil repaid, in tlie stupenduous scenery which is every where presented to his enrap- 1 tured view; so will you, after cr.coutcring tlie difficulties whichever beset the scholar in his •way to the summit of literary excellence, be hold, w ith a mental vision, a moral scenery, which t o vulgar heart cannot .feel, and be filled'With emotions the most sublime, nd concentions the most gigantic. But it is not my object so much to dwell upon the pleasures | of science, as uponrthc means of acquiring it. Let it be your first oLject then, to cultivate; habits of regular and persevering study, and] of prompt obedience to the requirements of your Teachers, from principle arid clf-res p<*ct Law s for the government of literary communities,us weil as for those of a differ ent nature, are no less necessary in order to diffuse hfe and and prosperity through such communities; and their fai’hfnl execution, in order to ensure any valuable improvement. But while I am giving you some aa\ ice, with respect to the cultivation of your minds, I would not omit the mpst important of all your' duties,.and to which every thing else should j he made subservient, I mean the religious af- j factions. Without this, howevergiftetf, you may be in talents, and profound acquirements, yon have frustrated the design of your ex istance. Ilnnk not, \ouug Ladies,.from my j remarks upon obedience and tlie government of this Institution, that I wish to exercise a ny other than a maternal authority, or do-' “ire from you any other than a dutiful obe- 1 dience. fri me I Bust, that you will confide as a friend, as one who will esteem it hfci ' greatest itapputess to administer to your ne cessities and to your comforts, as will ns to vour intellectual improioraems. lok To me then, as such a friend, and as moth- t c assured that your confidence w ill j alwriys n-*v t with a reciprocity ofi feeling,! .and a readiness to gratify your wants, which * cannot fail to comerit our affections and to promote your literary course. To you I shall look lor tijijt observance of tlie of this scliooT, and that attention to your studies, which only can stimulate me to increased ex crtioas in your behalf, and encouage me in the arduous duties of instruction. And thus may we go on together, preparing ourselves and each other for usefulness and respectabil ity, by continually progressing towards the e ternal and never-failing fountain of intellec tual and moral good; and When you, like polkbed corners of the temple, shall have a* domed your age, and your country, with a life of virtue and ukTul activity, my only pray er is, that you may be gathered, with the generations that are gone, with the confi dence of the Christian, and with hopes full of immortality. Iflok’al. “ Mut-one immoral, one corrupted thought, One word, when dying, he u-iuhl wish to blot." From the Spirit of the Age. Proosess of'Mas—There is a melan choly as well as a pleasing view, which may be taken in regard to every step in human progress. The Child lias few enjoyments ; and they are of tlie most simple character,tin-1 substantial arid fleeting; but the sorrows of | the child are not less transient; they are! “like the .morning cloud and the early dew,” j which pass away, not leaving a trace behind.! The pleasures of Youth arc more diversified, 1 and more lasting; but the disappointment of any pleasure gives a correspondent pain ; and the troubles iff youth, as well as the sports and pleasures, are of a.more durable and firm texture than those of-infancy. When the youth has arrived at manhood, his sources of pleasure are multiplied ; he exults in his lib erty, and feels a pride in taking his station among individual men ; but every avenue of pleasure is an avenue of pain, and .with liber ty, and -individual consequence, lie roust ac cept care, anxiety, and fear of shame. Anew class of pursuits are now entered upon ; love, Wealth,power, feme—-here are sources of plea sure, and sources of disappointment; raptu rous delights and rich enjoyments on -the one hand, if.; herculean afflictions on the other. Well has it been said by tlie author of the book of Job; “ Man is horn to trouble, [often misquoted‘prone to evil,’] as the sparks are to fly upward.” Similar .remarks may be made in regard to progress of society. The pleasures and pains of the untutored savage, are limited: He sen sibly feels the gratification, cm the privation of his physical wants; but to thousands of pleasuresmf the intellectual man, who lias cul tivated his understanding, bis fancy, his taste j his social and moral sentiments, he is an en tire stranger ; and he is q'.tally a stranger to their relative pains. Knowledge is sought by man to gratify his curiosity, to supply his wants, and to enable him to guard against evil. The .fruits of the tree of Knowledge arc not good alone; “it is the tree “of the knowledge of good and evil.” If curiosity be! gratified by the acquisition of knowledge, painful feelings arc excited by a glance at the excess of our ignorance, and at the immensi ty of the unexplored and unknown regions : if knowledge supplies ouv wafils to bo sup plied: if it enables us to guard against evils, it also keeps us in dread of many evils which never, in reality, come upon us ; or if they do, it is after we have -endured them again and again, in anticipation. Is there then no favorable view of thissub ject ? Must our enquiries leave man without tedress! Is there no source of consolation ; i “nobalm in Gilead ?” There are, no doubt sources of consolation ; but he who is idly looking for perfect happiness must almost of necessity be miserable. It would be strange, if among the various intentions and discove ries which --have been made, ingenious man should have.discovered no art of happiness, no means ©f preserving a reasonable degree ol tranquility and contentment of mind, amid the ups and downs iff life. The human mind has not boon idle on this subject. The Stoic system of philosophy was a sublime efl'urt to strengthen tlie mind in virtue, and to enable it to be happy in spite of circumstances. Tlie lovers of paradoxical maxims, no doubt, car ried the scheme into excess and absurdity ; but in moderate stoicism there is much that is excellent. The gigantic evils of life dwin dle into pigmy forms when boldly looked in the face and .contemned. If knowledge adds to our trouble by compelling us to anticipate evil, it also, by the same means, moderates our afflictions when evils come, and lightens our disappoint moiit when pleasures fail. Men who have suffered much from the indulgence of a sanguine and enthusiastic temper, are apt to learn, by experience, ai. r awhile, the truth of tlie adage— ‘ Blessed are they that ex pect little; for they shall not be disappointed.” The art of entertaining moderate desires an-, expectations, without sinking into despoil : deucy, constitutes an important part of the ; art of happiness. A firm religious belief, if not sullied with bigotry or superstition, is perhaps the surest and most ample source of consolation, when afflictions become overwhelming, 'fhe loss of companions, of parents, children, brothers, sister,*, friends, —are among the greatest e vils of life; but they may be borne with compa rative tranquility, by him who feels assured j that lie w ill Kn ot his friends again in a happier ! world, and walk and talk together, re counting their difficulties after they have pas sed away, beside the clear streams, and fliro' the blooming groves of a heavenly paradise.

SOCIAL LIFE. Tlie following observations on the prevailing fashions and mariners of the times, which is an extract from the i fourth Article of the September number ! of the Christian Examiner, is intended i for the Meredian of Boston ; hut will answer, ‘without any sensible'variation.’ and perliaps somewhat better than Nor thern Almanacs, for any state in the Union. “ Notwithstanding the perfect equali ty of our institutions there is a constant impulse in the community, to get each above the rest. We are all placed on the broad level of Tl perfect equality, but wc are not contented to remain there long. M e forbid, indeed, any artificial assistance from birth, or go ernnient. oy hereditary rank, but the stride goes on, nevertheless, among ouselves. Some succeed and some appear to succeed, but rather by their pecuniary success than in any other way. The evidence of tics success is given out, in display, in costly expenditure, in limau-ions indulgence, in extravagance, when it exceeds reasona ble limits, and in generous liberality when it does not pass these hounds. The consequence of this is a passion for dress, magnificent buildings, and showy entertainments. The first is al most universal, and, like most other dispositions of liie-human mind, has its advantages as well as its evils : its posi tive and desirable benefits, when regula ted by sound judgement; its lamentable mischiefs, when it snaps the rein of dis cretion. It is beneficial, no doubt by encouraging honest industry as the means of law ful indulgence ; it gives employ ment to numerous useful classes, who minister in the saloons where fashion holds her court ; it encourages elegant and useful arts, and gives our population a neatness and decency of appearance whu ll generate kindred valuable quali ties. There i.s a self-respect inspired by a creditable personal appearance, w hich has an effect on the manners, and even fhe character. Of the thirty thousand people of all ages, and sexes, and condi tions of life, who thronged the streets of Boston on thesccond-centennial celebra tion of its settlement, not an individual was to be seen .who was' not neatly, de cently ami appropriately dr%>ed. It is, however, not to be doubted, that the disposition to extravagance, in this respect, is a littlein advance of the means of its honest gratification, and that the sacrifices, at which it is indulged, are not n* frequently ruinous to character as well as fortune. M hen honest means will not answer tlie purpose, more doubt ful ones arc attempted ; so that for the sake of looking wdfl, some of our young people have been willing neither to do w ell nm* to be well. How far those., vim have the unquestionable means, might control the tide of fashion, and how'far they in ght fw-cl witting to attempt such a task, we do nest venture to decide ; hut we cannot doubt, 1-bat a little self-re straint, on their cart, would be a valua ble offering on -the altar of -their country. Women as well as men belong to die coun try, and have equal interest in its honor and prosperity. Their duties may be different, hut equally imperative. They may not often be called to make bow strings of their hair, or melt their gold and silver ornaments Into coin. Like the women of the revolution, they may not he now called to make lint ami pre pare bandages for the wounded, oi min ister in hospitals to the sufT ring martyrs of fr< cdoiu, hut there is a daily beauty in their lives, which they are constantly bound to exhibit: a power over tlie taste and sentiment, the habits v manners, the inclinations, fashions, and mode of social intercourse, which they cannot better ex ert, than by the honorable example of diminished extravagance. A servile imitation of the faded decora tions and unseasonable fabrics of Eu ropean invention, exhibits a national poverty of design, which is not to the credit of our genius. To . import from the shops of London and Paris the pic tures of a French opera dancer, or an English jockey, as models for our ow n ladies’ and gentlemen’s personal decora tions ; to exhibit herein August, wluu was there en regie in March : to display cast offfiuery as a novelty, by which* the claims ot our beautiful countrywomen can he improved, h a folly so supremely ridiculous, that no quantity of impu dence would have tlie audacity to pro pose it. if already it had not become fa miliar to us i v inveterate usage. If we follow our society into is associ ations of pleasure, we shall not, proba bly, be satisfied with its intellectual char acter. Some may be startled by a sug gestion that literature ;md A could by possibility I- ™ go into Co*'aKV for - ' ’ 1111 J la 1 *~,., .j v l .- * - relaxation, and not V ' ftO to laugh,' and dance, am! "'V 1 T UC)tisclvcs, an I not to study and •■'...re their lessons, r.s if it was ajwilmr period of school discipline. This'is ex actly the feeling on which wc would ani madvert. It implies a f. p ration be tween the employment of intellectual be ings and the gratification of their intel lectual faculties, and demonstrates tin they have yet something to leant, before they can arrive at the highest enjo- meat of which their nature is susceptible. Wo do not propose to hand round a waiter of psalm hooks to a collection of men and women mingling in the decks of social intercourse, nor to interrupt the hilarity of gay spirits ami buoyant, feel ings by stopping amusement and calling the company to prayers. To evei'y thing there is a season, and this is not tlie time or place for acts of public devo tion. Bit we boast of bci.vg an educated people : and however pleasant or proper it may he to throw off the trammels of learning for occasional relaxation and amusemen, regular appropriations ot much time to listless vacuity of mind, to , utter frivolity and folly, to useless, idle, 1 unmeaning conversation, that lias no merit while it is passing, and brings no gratification when it is past, is beneath the character of an educated community. NYith'such modes of social entertainment as we are in the habit of sustaining, such a boast is a very unmeaning or very ex travagant gasconade. Of what cor. e quence i.s it that we have schools of all kinds, from the infant school to (be Uni versity, lectures and discourses in abun dance, books every where, newspapers and pamphlets like leaves in Valuta irosa, daily journals, weekly magazines, learn ed monthlys, and critical quarterly s, w ith out end, if we find, nevertheless, that in struction is all labor, and learning hard work; if we get rid of It as trouble, as speedily as we may ; if we shake off our harness and delightedly roll on tlie green grass, like an over-worked animal, w hen he frees himself from the drudgery of his daily task ? It the results of edu cation do not enter into the constant oc cupations of pleasure as well as business; if they do not mix in with the affairs of common life, ifthey do not utterly unfit us for grossness and barbarity, am! coarse and inelegant employment, ifthey are mere decorations, assumed as a sort of holiday dress, and put off and folded up Hie moment we get a chance to be free, they are not of the value they were supposed to he, and d© little beyond serv ing as an excuse for tlie ;IF el ation-oi pretending to be pleased with them.
