AT THE LIMESTONE SP&jpSr -
Subscriber wilii on Monda^:thev"9th:~of

Limestone Springs in SpartanbaEg...,. At this insti
tution, it is intended to embrace a "more extensive
i cotrrse of studies, than has heretofore been taught
[ in Academies ixrthis State. Itf9-a .lamentable,. yet
i a well known faetvthatjn Grammar Schools-out'
boys are drilled long and lalwnoad^IB the. acquisi-H
sition of.thejGreek.and Latin languages, to the utter
neglect 6i their mother tongttfaia? well- as Natural

at least, to remedy this eviL-?nd?h> adapt; -^K?. edu-~

While he will not neglect the. preparation of young
gentlemen for College, (the best security for which j
is the uniform success vrhich has attended the appU-r j
ration of his scholars for admission there) he will- fn
the instruction of others pay more especial attention
to History, Natural History, Book-keeping, the more
practically useful parts of Mathematics as fully and
extensively as is now taught in- our College, and fo
Elocution, by which i? meant, not simply Oraionf or
Declamation, but especially good reading, which is
so essential to every mart- as well as scholar. . -.The
healthfulnesss of the . location,^ and its jremdtenesa'j
from all tempta^ions' to vice or ^immorality of any ^
kind combine^vantages presented by few, perhaps
no institution in -the -State. ? -\--v
The scholastic year wiU^ be, divided info two
equal sessions, commencing on the 1st of January

POETUS'.
SKrThe following dashing Poem appeared origi
nail y on the 1st of January 182'.), (n-; its title suffi
ciently indicates,) in the London New Monthly
Magazine, and was extensively re-publitdicd at that
time. Its spirit has lost nothing by age, and we
deem it not inferior in moral, even, to many a loftier
and sadder strain :
TWENTY -EJGHT AND T W E NT Y -X I N E. ?
I heard a sick man's dying sigh,
And an infant's idle laughter ;
The Old Year went with mourning by ?
The New came dancing after !
Let Sorrow shed her lonely tear,
Let Revelry hold her ladle ;
Bring boughs of cypress for the bier,
Flisg roses on the cradle ;
Mutfs to. wait on the funeral siato !
Pages to pour the wine !
? A requiem for Twenty-Eight ?
And a health to Twenty-Nine !
Alas! for human happiness ! ???
Alas ! for human sorrow !
Our yesterday is nothingness,
What else will be our morrow? >
Still-Beauty; must be stealing hearts,"
And Knavery stealing purses ;
Still cooks must live by making tarts, *
And^wits bj^ making verses ; .

guide volunteered his services, and, oshc was ;
the one recommended to tjsr we took him to \
Mont St. Jean, some distance from Waterloo, !
where the battle was iri reality fought, though j
Waterloo has given ft, the name, as, from I

Our guide, who wxuT a peasant, about 18 '
years old ihe day of^the battle, and who was !
then taken as the guide of one of the French
Generals of Division, took us over the ground,
and upon the several positions of the English
and the Fronch^sblriiers, and explained to us
their various struggles for particular points ;
but, a*) military men and tourists have often
related all these things, so much in detail, and j
so much bettet,than I can, 1 will not recapitu
late the ofl-told story. J will remark howev
er, upon the battle, that the great fault of
Napoleon seemed to be tie too great confi
dence he reposed in the valor of his ever hith
erto successful leg on3. He had been defeating
the Prussi&s but a day or two before, and I
he English were not Prussians, '
doubt that he should beat the
i same manner. Thus over
yielded to the English the su"
position, and neglected to pro>
own retreat.
