From the Rural R>por,tory.
COLUMBUS 1 FIRST STOIITOF LAND.
BY MISS tttEHOKK TAYLOR.
M’ido o'er tho blue Atlantic's breast,
An hymn of praise swendil high,
Startling the sea-bird from its nest
And soaring to the sky.-
O whence arose that lofty song
To the lich Ibernian longue,
With its solemn tones,
O'er that lone sea which ne’er lias heard
Aught but the screeches of the bird,
Or zchyr's varied moans'
A small, but joyful company
Are in those three frail ships,
The hymn of praise that swelled so high
Ascended from their lips.
Who is that man of stately mien
Who towering o’er the rest is seen
From whose bright glistening eye,
The gushing tears of rapture flow
O’er cheeks, endindled with a glow
Os holy ecstacy?
I* is the daring Genocso ■
Who fearlessly unfurled
I!is sails upon the unknown seas
To eeok an unknown world.
flo many a tedious year has borne
Neglect and poverty and ecorn
In preopect of this hour, —
This glorious hour, in which his Maine
Is written on thoeeroll of fame
Beyond oblivion's power
What wander, then, that joy should gleam
Forth from his dark, bright eye,
Or, down his cheek, that tears should stream
Os holy ccstacy

Muddy Wit —A black servant not a
humirud miles from St. Andrews, being
examined in the Church Catechism, hy the
minister of the parish, was asked—‘What
are you made of, Jack V lie said, 1 of mud
massa.' On being told he should say *of
dust,’ no replied ‘no massa, it no do, no
stick togedder.
A butcher about to hill u cow, employed
an Irishman to hold her. Tho butcher
squinted, and when looking at tho cow ap
peared to look at tho Irishman. Pat, fear
ing that he should get tho knock-iostead of
the co w, said, in much h my, ‘Arrah, man,
do you strike wlicro you look ; ,To bo sure
I do-wher do you think I’d strike?’ ‘then
you may howld tiie cow yourself, till I get
out of tho way, just.’
A lawyer, engaged in a causa before the
Judge tormented a poor German witness
so much with questions, that the old man
declared he was so much exhausted that he
must have a drink of tv iter before ho could
Sty anything more. Upon this, the Judge
called out to tho teazing lawyer, 4 1 think,
sir, you must Imvo done with that witness
now, for you have pumped him dry.’
A Mistake. —A minister in a certain
town not many miles from Dundee, some
time since leceived a visit from an old
friend whom he hao nol seen for a consider
able time. It was evening, and tho stran
ger had come from a distance; ho was
therefoto invited to sup with the family, &.
following the law of hospitality, was (con
trary to tho wishes, and iu spite of the side
winks and frowns of the minister’s better
hall - ) pressed to remain with them all night.
Before returning to their separate places of
rest, tho worthy minister proposed family
worship. His wife withdrew to gotthebible;
nod the stranger shortly after left the room
to take off his shoes in the passage, that his
feet might bo eased after travelling. lie
was in the act of stooping to effect his pur
pose, when tho hostess Returning tothoroom
and mistaking, in the unccrtnin light the
guest for her husband,raised the folio testa
ment which site carried, and, makiuk it *a
lijlit on the cranium of the now prostrate
stranger—‘That's for garin’ him stop a'
night!’ said tha energetic gudewile: am:
walked into the apartment which they
I*«*J jnst left. It is needless to say how the
parties felt under the circumstances.
Who shall hate the Prize. —There was
once to be a meeting of tho flowers, and
llie judge was to award a price to the one
pronounced tho most beautiful.
“Who shall have the prizt?”said the
rose, stalking forth in all the consciousness
of beamy, “ Who shall have the prizi ? ’
said the oilier flowers, advancing each with
conscious pride, and each imagining it
would bo herself, “I will take a peep at
these beauties,’ thought tho violet as she
lay in her humble bed, not presuming to at
teud the meeting: “I will see them as they
pass.” But as she raised iici lowly head to
peep out of her hiding place, she was
observed by tho judge, who immediately
pronounced her the most beautiful, because
the most modest.
Beauty. —Socrates called beauty a short
lived tyranny; Plato; privilege of nature; I
Theophratus, a silent cheat; Theocritus, a |
delightful prejudice; Carneades, a solitary!
kingdom; Domiti in said, that nothing was *
more grateful; Aristotle affirmed that beau- j
ty was better than all letters of recommen
dation in the world; Hi mer, that ’was a
glorious gift of nature; and Ovid, alluding
to him, balls it a favor bi-stoned by the
god*.
It is computed that there are upwards of forty
thousand tuge drivers in the United States.

To the Public.
r rUIE FACULTY of tho College would ro
JL respectfully notify the Parents and Guardians
of the Students, that the conflagration of the new’
building, however serious, will not interfere in the
smallest degree with the regular duties of the
College. The course of instruction will not be
affected, as every accommodation will be ready
for tho students by the first of January. The
Library it is truo has been destroyed, but we feel
confident from the munificence of tho Legislature
that the loss will lie so far repaired by the opening
of the next term, as to prevent any injury arising
from its destruction. Tho Mat hemal ical instru
ments can be easily replaced. The fine Philoso
phical Aparatus and Chemical Instruments are
uninjured, and consequently full instruction iu the
higher classes ran bo given.
| As to tho personal accommodation of the young
men, no difficulty will exist, as the old building
hitherto devoted to the residence of the two low
er clases, is, uninjured, and will consequently con
tain all who now compose these clases. or who
may coino by the commencement of the next
•erm. Tho two upper classes will bo accommo
dated with lodging and study rooms in private
families or the boarding houses in town, and that
without any additional charge, until tho College
building shall tie repaired.
Tho Faculty therefore trust, and with full con
fidence, that the credit of tho Institution with the
Public, will not bo diminished. Tho Faculty
therefore canfido in the return of all tho Students
on tho first ot Janary next, to resume their reau
ar duties . By order of the Faculty.
