It seems but yesterday since I sported like a youn cniclopc round my fathers tent, or, climbing the dark cedars, nestled like a bird among the thick boughs and now I arn a man in authority, as well as in the prime of life. I lead out my trained servants to fight, and sit htad of the council, beneath the very tree where, as an infant, my mother laid me to sleep. Jazed, my youngest born, a lovely babe of thirty summers is dead: but 1 have four goodly sons remaining. And my three daughters are fair as their mother, when I firta met her in the Acacia grove, where now stands one of my

city watch-towers. They arc the pride of

the plain, no less for their acquirements than

their beauty. No damsel carries the pitcher from the fountain with the grace of Adah.

what is the future to me:" PRACTICE OF WESLEY IN REG A.HD to BLEEF. The celebrated John Wesley, who paid every attention to the best means oF invigorating his body, in order that he might be cna bled to exert himself for the general benefit of his fellow creatures, to the utmost his corporeal and mental powers would allow, in forms us, that he had been accustomed to awake every night about twelve or one o'clock, and lay without sleeping for some time; he, therefore, very justly concluded, that this was caused by his lying in bed longer than nature required. To be satisfied up r.n this

point, he procured an alarum, which awakened him next morning at seven, nearly an hour earlier tln his usual time cf rising He still lay awake at night. The ensuing morn ing he rose at bix; but notwithstanding this.

he lav awake the ecc6nd nirrht The thud

morning he rose at five; but, nevertheless, lay awake the third night. His next hour of

grreyille female academy, HAKROlhHUUG, (K.Y.) (J WILLIAM JONES, HAS purchased, and is now fitting up, the Greenville Springs, and will open a Female Academy on the first Monday in May next. This establishment and its advantages are too well know it to the public to need particular mention. The studies of the young ladies who may be committed to his carewill he constantly conducted by himself. Having determined to engage in the instruction of Females, from a conviction of the extensive sphere of usefulness which it offers he will use every effort to make his institution as permanent and as extensively useful as possible. His own iutcrest, the usefulness and reputation of liis school, he deems arc

sunicient pledges for his stnet attention to his pupils. The fuhuwing ill be the cour&e of studies; First Class Reading, Writing, Spelling (with definitions.)
