Thy charm* may melt away.
BeKeva it aot—though lonely
Thy eveniughome may he—
Though Beauty's barque eaa only

TBS SEASONS.
Every season of the year, like the life of
man, is intermixed, more or less, with
beauties aud deformities ; with storms and
sunshines; with scenes, both delightful
nnd disagreeable. Spring, like youth, is
the season of animation, sprightliness and
music. Winter, like old age, has more of
fears than of hopes, more of pans than of
pleasures; its days and nights are tedious
and joyless; its prospects are depressing
aud gloomy. In Summer, as in ripening
madhood, all is fervid, vigorous and pro
ductive. Autumn, like the mature ago of
^ us first with loaded branches of ripened
fruits ; and then with fading beauties, fall
ing leaves, nipping frosts, plaintive sounds,
dying insects. tempests, nnmelo
u»y",* §roves,naWfl bills and pillaged fields.
In the fading verdure of the woods.; in the
decaying, Tailing leaves of every tree, both
* the young and the old may view them
selves as in a -mirror, and learn their frail
ty, and rapid progress to dissolution. But
however our bodies fade, let our virtues
flourish.
' A Substitute.—General Daniel passing
by a sentinel at Portsmouth, the fellow
complained that lie wanted a pair of shoes
—‘ ’Tis fit that you should have a pair,’
said the general. Thereupon he takes a
piece of chalk, and chalks out a pair of
shoes upon the sentry box—* There’s a pair
for you,’ adds he, and goes his way. H1s
back was no sooner turned than the sol
. dier chalks out a man standing sentinel and
then goes his way. The General present
ly after was surprised to meet the fellow
in town, inquired with several threats, bow
be came to leave his <post. ‘ Sir,’ said he,
* I am relieved.’ 4 Relieved, that’s impos
sible, at this time of day. Who has re
lieved you V 4 One, 1*11 swear for it, that
*,n not leave his post,’ replied the soldier.
Hereupon the General goes with him to
the place. 4 There sir,’ says the fellow,
n I am to look upon this as a good pair
of shoes, you must own that this is like
wise a very good sentinel.'

Messrs. Durrie St Peck—1 have taken some pains
lo acquaint myself with the character of Dr. Webster’s
‘ History of the Uuiled States.” It is, in my opinion,,
i wot k of great merit, and admirably adapted to tlie
purposes alike of our public nnd private school*. It
will not injure the reputation of it* illustrious author.
1 shall immediately recommend it to the Visiting Cont
oittee Inr adoption into the higher chitses of the Lan
.asterian School. Yours respectfully,
JOHN £. LOVELL,
din Principal of the Lancasterinn school.
The Committee of the School Society in New-Hn
ren have concluded to introduce Webster’s History of
he United Stales into the Laucasteripn school, nnd lo
eeommend its use in ths other schools in the New*
