- . B b j , ... ...... ... -v-w. . . lour enquiry will naturally be, is this report of their beauty true. But, alas! I am unable to decide. Of all crimes, in a lady's eyes, disparagement of her beauty is the greatest, and which are seldom if ever forgives, and, therefore, I will not risk the decision. But this much, I have seen some "pretty tight" girls here, and If I had a heart, I should have lost it. Hero is located the "Indiana College,11 which every Indian ian ought to be proud of. This College is to Indiana, what the heart is to the body here talent will be fostered and cultivated, and youth, with minds improved with science and literature, sent forth to every part of the state, who will render themselves an honor to their parents, and grace the halls of legislation. To this College, we can point, and exclaim there is the eitidel of our civil and religious institutions, and the safeguard of republicanism. Intellectual light is the foe of tyranny, and friend of liberty. The College is built on a piece of ground, which lies In the south part of the town, and although lower than some other parts, yet it has still a small elevation. It is lobe regretted, that the College was not erected on the commanding hill, which lies rather to the north West of the present site. The beauty of this hill strikes itself to the eyes at the first glance. Nature points it out as the proper situation, and it cannot be without rain, when the eve casts itself towards that elevation,

and beholds that it is not tapped by the State College of

Indiana. 1 he Col leg'? b i.ldmg is very large and commodious, but it does not throw any credit on the taste or mechanical skill of its architect. Would that an ar. thitect had have built it! By the politeness of professor Rutcr, lam able tp give yo'i a description, of the interior of this building. The lower slory comprises one large room, and is called the chapel. It is used for morning prayers, and for exhibitions, and is neatly finished. The other stories are divided into rooms for ll.o professors, and but roughtly finished. The interior of the building oilers nothing to

captivate the eye, if I might except the rooms of the I'hilomathean an Athenian Societies. The manner in which thctc room are ornamented does great credit to tht taste oi'tlia students. They contain each a library of 330 volumes. It wn with feelings of gratification, th '.t I Ica.-f.t that tit .se rooms were decorated, and their libraries bought, by t!.j aiudents. It will be a lasting monument of th'ir spirit and enterprise, and warrants the prediction, t'.ia; they will become useful ornaments to ."""'CIV. It va :,u:;!i considerable difficulty, owing to the want of politeness i;i tin; Librarian, that 1 could obtain admittance into th..j clicge Library. The Library is the grratcstobjeit of attraction to the votary of science, and J fcit paitici!ai ly anxious to view the Library of our State College as from the selection of works I could form a ntoie correct opinion of the talent which presided over the dtjsitnies of the institution. The room is small and looks more like the receptacle of rubbish, than that of the choicest specimens of Literature. The Library contains over KMX) volumes, which, it, is true, hre small. But, by a glance, at the shelves, it will be perceived, that its contents are select, and comprise rn remand costly editions of the standard authors. This, together with the fact, that the Institution is young, is ample excuse for the small number of volumes. The selection of the works was confided to the P.'.a'cui of the College, Dr. Wylie, a:i, 1 vcntuie to say, it could not nave been entrusted o better or more able hands. This college is a State Institution, and therefore noth

I must live with the false and cold, And 1 must seem like them, And thought and feeling wear the mask That yet they most condemn. Oh say not that my wordsfarefalse, They may not dare be true; What am I, that I should forsake The path which all pursue. , 'Tis sad to see how all around To gilded idols kneel, -And strive to be like one of those Who cannot think, or feel. Alas, alas! to pass in peace. Through a world so chill and lone, The throbbing pulses should be steel, And the heart should be stone. OCTAVIA. Spencer, la. Nov. 18th, 1837. For the Post. LINES ADDRESSED TO MISS C Throughout the earth, the slumbering air A stillness breathes around; Angel's spirits only waken there And pure as thine abound While from the deep shade of my bower, In that dark and despairing hour, I, one glittering star can see, 'Tis bliss! to direct my thoughts to th?f . O, that the soul in viewless flight, Could mount the air at will, And sail upon the clouds of night, When all the earth was still; How oft, from worldly bondage riven, I'd soar to yonder azure heaven, From all sublunary passions free, And extend my arms in quest of thee. And may not such, in years to rise, When all of earth is past, When death bestows what life denies, lie mine perhaps at last; Oh, 'twere enough forever more, Think in heaven, when time is o'er, And from chastening sorrows free, My soul in delight, may welcome thee. Then, 'till that hour, no worldly throng Shall tempt my thoughts to stray, Or lure me from the syren song That cheers each lonely day; Nor aught of goodness, shall I trice But in thy dear resembling face And amid the darling charms of beauty, 1 will forever remember thee.

professors is not spent in warpin tho mind to a parti- j Copeland, of this town, to Mus Caroline Mercer, of

C'.t1u creed, anj ihc mental cul'uie neglected, as is too oft n the case in sectarian Colleges, which are founded on sectarianism, and so must support sectarianism. It looks to the ii luc and intelligence of the people for support. But by this, it must not be understood that the mind of the student is not diircted to the bountiful source of all good to the contemplation of his creator. Such is not the ca e. devious to entering on the studen f the day, the students are required to attend in the chapel, wheie prayers aru oiforcd to tho Most High, by

'President Wyiic. The Col'egu b-'ing liberally endowed, the tution fee is but small, amounting to but ,$17 per annum. Boarding is alo low. This affords an opportunity to every man, even in moderate, circumstances, to educate his children to store their mind with elegant literature, tocbta'ulih their morals, and to render them a blessing when they enter the buisy scenes of life. It places education at every man's door, and wo betide him, who seizes not the opportunity. The faculty is composed of six professors. They are all of them, men of talents and learning. The chemical department is not equalled, I am informed, by imy college in the west, for the facilities, which it affords to the student for acquiring a" knowledge of that pleasing but dillicilt science.

The citizens and students live on terms of great friendship. The student's good conduct has gained them tho affection, and regard of the citizens. They ?frd treated by the citizens, more like relatives than strangers. This disposition in the citizens makes this one of the m6nt rrp eeable places.
