Two female teachers. one of whom is froi one of the noasdistititntished Fe nale Seminaries in the the U. States, will aid the Rector in the course of instruction, which .is arranged with a view to the improvement of the pupils in the solid branches ofeducation. The Musical Department is filled by Mr. Ba con, whose well known fide:itv in the duties (of his profession, renders any further notice of his skill unnecessay. The advantages for im parting instruction in the physical sciences. will be greatly enlarged by the use of a philo. sophicaf apparatus, which is expected before -the next year, and the delivery of a course oif lectures by Gentlemen of the Edgefield Philo sophical Society. The lealthfueless ofthe in babitants of this place for the last ninie years, has established it. elaim to a salubrity of ch. miate not inferior -o an% town in the State. It is important for .he iniprovement of the pupils, and the good order of the school, that the children to be seint to this Iiestitition, ahould commence with the year. The claes will be more easily and equitably formed by such an narangement. and their membero, all -setting out together, will proceed with more steady atnd even pace.

Where'er in distart lands I roam, Thy lovely i'naze still I see, Or do' I 'bide at mii- own home, I think of thee, and only thee.

TO MY SISTERL-ITHINK OF TIHEE. I think of theeuy sister, when the ruddy niorn ing light, Breaks joyous in its coming from out the east ern sky. I think of thee at evening, in the silent hour of night In the visions of my slumbers, my sister thou art nigh. I think of thee at evening, when I watch the selting sun Go down in placid beauty far in the glowing West; Like to thy spirit sister, when the kimimir's day is done, Is the sontened ray that lingers and gilds his couch of rest. Thou hast shared with me sorrows and shed for me the tear, When the light of other brighter days had left My shaded brow, When hoipe, the sweet enchantress slept, and friendship's leaf was sere, Thy love was left, n-y sister dear, I'll not for get thee now. I'll think of thee in absenco, whilst shadowy mermory brings, One thonght that binds me to the past. and those I loved of'vore. For thee, the ur'tutor'd minstrel, will sweep his harp's wild strings. Tho' the sunlight of the heart hath fled, which youth's bright season hore. I'll think ofthee when ronming by the stream let and the glase, Whete the lone flower in my pathway courts the intisic of the bee, By the margin of' the river, and beneath the wild wond's shade.
