SOUTHER N Commercial College, AND WRITING INSTITUTE. jn Cherry street, five doors above Deaderick.- The course of instruction in this institution will embrace Book-Keeping, Commercial Law, Commercial Arithmetic ind Penmanship. No pupil will receive a diploma until he is thoroughly inalitied to discharge the duties of the accountant. Students will be instructed iu all the modern improved farms adopted by the best regulated houses in the country, among otbeis one which dispenses with the use of the Jour. oak, greatly lessening the amount ot labor and liability To 3rr, and another which renders the use of the Cat.li book rod Journal superfluous, and enables tbe book-keeper to tXisi his personal accounts dailr, and his merchandise and ;ash as often as may suit his convenience. This latter form is more particularly designed for the use )l retail establishments. They will be taught a simple process by which the mer chant may at all times ascertain the amount ol his' loss or gain, together with the quantity of goods on hand, without resorting to the tedious process of taking an inventory. This institution will be permanent, and has been estab ashed to meet the already important and growing com mercial interests ofthe city of Nashville and State of Ten nessee, and it is designed to place it upon a basis inferior to none in this country. The importance, to every business man, of a knowledge )f accounts, must be sufficiently obvious to all rtflectm, minds. To the man of wealth, it is important to enable him to manage his affairs scientifically, and without pecuniary loss and the Lawyer is often called upon, in the discharge ot Ms professional duties, to unravel the most intricate ac counts, but to the young man who depends upon his own resources for a livelihood, it is invaluable. It gives him a position which nothing else can. He holds the post ot confidential clerk in his employers, service. In connection with this establishment is a department for the benefit of those who wish to take lesons in writing on ly, where an elegant hand writing wUl be imparled to all who place themselves under the care of the preceptor. Pupils entering this institution are not limited to any number of lessons, but for a specified price may coutinue any branch they pursue until they are perfected, retaining the privilege of reviewing their lessons at any subsequent period, free of chaige. febll ly O.

That was my first and last Christmas with cous- in Lucy; and since then I have seen many more, bat none happier or so fraught with gentle inBa ences as was that one loag, bright holiday. When spring came, we planted a beautiful little flower garden in the midst of grandpa's, and in this small inclosure were gathered the prettiest and choistest varieties which we could finiL Grandpa birlt us, too, a fine and substantial swing, and we would sometimes, accompanied by some older person, take a lovely sail on the beau tiful river which ran directly through Whitefield Once that stream had for me a thousand' cbarmes, both on account of its own beauty and for the delight which had often filled my heart as I sailed on its beautilul bosom; but now, even to this day, I can notlook upon it with just that pleas ure, and why I am going to tell you One afternoon in the heat of July, accompani ed by our man-servant, Tom, we prepared for onr usual sail. By some accident, the boat upset and although we all escaped drowning, Lucy took a severe cow, trom which she never recovered; yet sne uvea until th&leaves fell in autumn, and these seemed to mo then, just like my dry and withered heart; When Lucy had recovered her senses, herjips movea lor a short time m prayer, and it was then that I remembered thaf.God alone had preserved our lives, and that I should thank him, too, for his greet and undeserved mercy. Weeks passed on, and Lucy was able after a while to .walk about a little, but this exercise was soon, denied her, and to sit up in bed with her head resting on pillows, was all the position which she could comfortably take. One afternoon, near the close of summer, as I stood by her bed-side, I thought and thought about ner dying, till the large tears dropped on her pil low, and were gently wiped.from my cheeis with her own emaciated hands. "Charles," said she, "don't cry because the doc tor says I cannot live, fori am going home, and my mother used often to tell me that the Chris tian had no home on earth, b,: ihat this life was only a traveler's road to the next." Just as she said this, the door opened, and her father, who had himself been confined for two months with severe illness, arrived. He was ac companied by my cosins both strangers to me and feeling like an intruder, I made my escape from their presence to weep alone. As I sat on the stair-way with my face buried in my hands, some one touched me; I looked up, and saw that it was my aunt Hilly. "Charles," said she, "you must try to be cheer ful now, for the sake of others. Jack Jones is waiting to see you in the kitchen; go and hear what he wishes to say, and if he asks to speak with Lucy, tell him she is tired now, that her friends have just come, and that she will see him in the morning." Judge of my-surprise, children, on enterinc: the kitchen to see not a dirty, raggedjforsaken-Iook-ing boy; but Jack Jones, respectably dressed, and by his side, a large Newfoundland dog, so Jike my own Carlo, whose body I had buried under "the old. elm tree," with sobs and tears, that I could hardly be sure that his death was not all a dream. "Chales," said he, "here's another dog for you, as much like your own as two peas, and since cousin Lucy has been so kind to me I've been sor ry enough that I killed the other; and it wasn't really right, but I thought you acted croud and ugly, and I meant to pay you for it. How's Xu- cyr uan't I speak to her: While Jack Jones had been talkinz. I stood petrified with astonishment, and when he had fia- ished, I could scarcely speak, but at last my uiuugnts iuuiiq utterance. "That's a noble doz, Jack, and I thank vou for him, but really I never expected a return, "and al though I thought at tha time that you were very unkind, I have since almost forgiven you in my heart, but not quite, for everytime I passed the "elm tree," t could not help wishing he was back again, and feeling sorry that you killed him. Per haps this one will make you happier, now. than it ever will me, for if Lucy dies, I shan't care for any thing alter that." "No, take him, Charles, for in a few monhs I am going to sea, and may very soon go to the bottom, so he'd better stay on land." "Oh! don t talk so, Jack don t speakso lightly of death, when it seems to me such a dreadful thing to die." "Uecause you've got plenty of friends and a good 1 home to leave, when your time comes, but no one cares for me except Lucy." As he said this, a large tear fell on his cheeks, which he quickly brushed off with his coat-sleeve. "Lucy would like to see you in the morning, Jack; but now her friends have just come and she feels tired. Jack made no reply, but givin? the dog orders to "lie down," he hastily quitted the house. This dog's name was 'Hosel" and I was not sorry, lor uario naa nts own place in my heart, and I did not care to have this filled by a stran ger, much as I might love him. My new friend diverted my mind from its sad thoughts, and hearing the voices of my cousins, Robert and Mary, approaching, 1 calledjjut to them to come and admire my dog. They were both some years younger than my self, and evidently did not realize what was Before them, so that while a burden oppressed me, I tried to shake it off with efforts to amuse them. The next morning, as soon as I could obtain an interview with Lucy, I told har of, Jack Jones' present, and of his altered appearance, how kind ly he had spoken of her, and how much he ap preciated her love. 'When 1 am gone, Charles," said she, as her face was suffused with joy, "I want you to be tho firm friend of Jack. Follow him, even if the boys laugh at you for doing it, with every possible kindness; they have friends enough, and do not Know what itis to be left an Orphan and friend less in the wide, wide world; but Jack does; and then Charles, if we meet in heaven, as I trust we shall'' here emotion almost choked her utter ance as she faintly added, "I hope Jack will be there too." Perceiving her excitement I hastily withdrew, to give vent to my own feelings, and as I passed out of the door, met Jack Jones, who, with aunt aiilly's permission, was just going in. What passed between them, then I have never heard, yet doubt not that Lucy' spoke many words of instruction, hope, and comfort for that almost friendless and forsaken boy. I had often read in my Bible about that glori ous place called heaven, and that there God him self lived to receive and comfort all those who pjss through sufferings and trials in this world, that the may be made honorable and glorious there. Stillldidnot bid these great and com forting truths a hearty welcome, until Lucy spoke of them as the foundation of all her peace and joy; and now as my steps are growing lceble with age, and the windows of my clay tabernacle are darkened, that once far off country is drawing nigh, with its brilliant walls, its golden streets, and crystal gates; but above all, its loving, pity ing Redeemer no longer a Judge but a Friend. Independent. Tollins of the Arctic's BeU. The New York Independent says: "Let no one hastily censure the Captain for running thirteen knots in a dense fog, or the "look out" for any supposed delinquency. Our blood runs cold to-day at the remembrance of a steamer crossing the bows ofthe sailing vessel that bore us to Liverpool, so near that three minute later a collision would have been inevitable; and yet .she passed Jike a grim phantom in ,tbe.fdg, a black, hull-and a red pipe faintly looming athwartj.our bows at a Stance of only twice the st)ip6 length, I . .", , . cn """ewei. was probably m visible. We heard her oaddlcs. arid tho roar of the sea. as it parted before her pondcro jujk; we heard the tolling of her bell as from a phantom ahip; her direction and progress could only be guessed by sound, but we felt that invisible power that might in an instant crufh and overwhelm us drawing nearer and nearer while the tollino-of our bell, scarcely audible above the noise of Iter own motion, could hardly convey to her a warn ing of our presence. At length she passed lo the: :og no longer a- phantom but a thing jft .life urging her resistless way through the dense vapers with a fearful t precision. We never knew her name or her destiny." "How easily might both ships, each to the other unknown, have sunk into the depths of theseajbys unavoidable co Ihsion I But h ere we arc, by God's mercy, to record our near escape from that which has befallen six hundred of our fellows'. These possibilities are fearfui to contemplate while sit ting quietly in our own Btudy; but how fearful while lying wakeful In one's birth at sea, or grop- ing the deck in a dripping fog. And yet with all the possibilities of calamity by collisions, by storm by iceberg-, or byfireTthat are" inseparable from the navigation of the ocean by steam, that-navigation is safer than railroad travel in the United States. "But we had come to count too much on its safety; to Tegard our steamers as masters or the sea' and talk- ol their achievements with a confi dence almost presumptuous. How terrible the lesson-of our dependence upon Divine protection taught us by this calamity! And yet, how need ful and how salutary! Only'such great calamities can startle the eager multitudes of this metropolis of commerce into the recognition of a power on the land and on the sea, that is above all the cal culations of gain, and all the guarantees of insur ance. Only such great calamities can make the city thoughtful, sad and solemn, as in the presence' of God, or can cause tlie current of human sym pathies to overflow the dykes thatilammon and Conventionality have haaped up all around us. There is not a heart in this great community that does not beat with sympathy for all whom this calamity has bereaved of kindred and friends. There is not a Christian altar from .which prayer does not go up for these unknown mourners. There is not a countenance that ii riot saddened by this, sudden apparation of Death in so many houses. There is not a mind but is for a moment awe-struck with t sense of the invisible and the Almighty: The confluence of sorrows from Lake Erie and the Atlantic has made the heart of this metropolis "reel under the thought of Providence so vast and so terrible in the reach of its visita tions. Oh! may that heart be aroused to the re cognition of a Grace as omnipresent and .omnipo tent, for our salvation!" Continental Buttons. "When the American Army wis encamped at alley rorge, a Bnttish Officer, who was quarter ed upon the family of a gentleman in Philadelphia, had occasion to visit the camp, with a message un der a flag- of trace. The lady of "the house determined to accompany him, for tae purpose of taking a suit of regimentals to her husband, who had been out for some time with the Continental army; and as it wa3 necessa-' ry to conceal her design from the officer, the matter was accomplished by artifice. ' Having taken the stuffing out of the .cushions of the gig, the regimentals were inserted in its place, and things went on smoothly, until the roughness of the road suggested to the gentleman that his seat was none of the softest In vain were the two unoffending coat-tails con demned to eternal punishment, and rndely jerked from beneath their owner, who believed that they were the culprits, and in vain ware his pockets searched, in hopes that the removal of a stray key Or pen-knife would alleviate his misery. Perceiving the trouble, and knowing the danger of discovery, the lady taxed her powers of conversa tion to the utmost, in hopes of diverting his atten tion from so pressing a subject ; but the gig would, bump on, and the Continental buttons obstinately insisted on avenging- their country's wrongs, upon, the person of the enemy, doubtless, " whispering in their sleeves," " See his posture is not right,- And he is not settled quite ; Loot now at his odd gnmaces; ' ' Saw you e'ere such comic faces!" while he, poor fellow, inwardly cursed the primi tiveness or Yankee cushions, and sighed for the luxurious quarters that he had left behind him. Weary miles were traveUed, the Captain still suf fering the penalty of his. loyalty, when suddenly the truth flashed across hia mind, and memory recalled certain mysterious conversations he had overhanl in the house, about broad-cloth and embroidery. The secret was then discovered, but his troubles were not yet over, for he now found himself on the horns of a- dilemma as uncomfortable as tlie .conti nental buttons, and he rode on perplexed between hi3 duty to his King, and his obligations to the la dy. Too much of a gentleman to betray her, and yet too royal an officer, willingly to carry " aid and comfort" to the rehsls, he hesitated long a3 the course he should pursue ; but his gallantry at length got the better of him, and bravely submitting to. the sUrn infliction, he concluded not to verify liir. suspicions by ocular demonstrations. ' ; . A significant smile and gesture "alone informed his companion that the artifice wasdi$covered,rand the rebel garments were, suffered to reach .their des tination unmolested. .L Posterity may settle the question as to whether the energy or ingenuity of the young wife deserves" the most praise, and whether the duty ofthe officer should have superseded that of tlie gentleman ; but one thing' is certain, the rebel gentleman received a uniform which he sadly needed ; and the memory of the lady is nnre fondly cherished by her descen dants, whenever they think of the "Continental Buttons." Intliiencii of Religion; It is related of Mungo Park that when he was nearly in" despair from the difficulties that beset) him, the' sight ef a little bed of mosj so affected him as to give instant hope to his heart He was jour neying in the interior of Africa and had been cruel ly robbed of all he had by the banditti. "In this forlorn and almost helpless condition," says he, "vhen the robbers had left me, I sat for some time looking around me with amazement and terror. Whichever way I turned, notheing appear ed but danger and difficulty. I found myself in the midst of a vast wilderness, in the depth of the rainy season, naked and alone, surrounded by savage animals, and by men still more savage- I was hver.l i-,l m(loo f,m nn RnMNnn ct.iUmnt All hundred miles from any Luropean settlement.
