THE TWO LITTLE ORPHANS. "And little Mary said, but, brother Edwin who will be our mother ?" The sun had tinged with mellow light, The western hills and landscapes gay; And stars, sweet heralds of the night, Were vocal to departing day. The feathered songsters of the grove, Had turned to vesper hymns their lays; And merry strains of sweetest love, Joined in a common Father's praise. 0, 'twas an hour of pure delight, A calm serenity of sky ! And nature elothed in nature's light, Drank deep of its own melody. This hour, a youthful pair had strayed, A pratling sister and her brother, To where beneath a cedar's shade, Reposed the mortal of their mother. No monumental slab was there, No polished Parian stone, To point the little ramblers where Their mother slept alone. They knew the spot, for oft had they Together, 'round its sacred sod, "When twilight weeps itself away," Knelt there in silent prayer to God. "Come sister Mary," Edwin said, "Here let us plant our tiny tree, Whose fragrance yearly o'er head, Shall smell in mother's memory." Right noiselessly they planted there, A modest Rose-tree in the soil ; Then clasped their infant hands in prayer, And eloquently talked of God. " Dear Brother Edwin, father's gone, And mother, too, is in the sky; And Edwin, we are left alone: There's none, brother, but you and I." " Yes, sister Mary, God has said li his own blessed tenderness, That he will be in hours of dread A father to the fatherless." "I know it well," the sister cried, "I've read it often brother, "But then "-and here sweet Mary sighed, ' But who will be our snother ?" HAS SHE ANY TIN? "Oh do not paint her charms to me, I know that she is fair ! I know her lips might tempt the bee, ler eyes with stars compare; Such transient gifts I ne'er could prize, My heart they could not win; I do not scorn my MIary's eyes, But-has she any 'tin?'" " The fairest cheek ,alas ! may fade, Beneath the touch of years; The eyes were light and gladness played, -Mfaf~t anngr dimn wIth tears; I would love's fires should to the last Still burn as they begin ; But beauty's reign too soon is past : So-has she any 'tin?'" Dodging thme Responsibility. " Sir ?" said Mlr. Daleworth, a lawyer, to an unwilling witness, "Sir, do you mean to say, upon your oath, that Blimp kinis is a dishonest man ? " I didn't say that he was ever accused of being an honest man, did I I' replied Pipkins. "Does the court understand you to say, Mr. Pipkins, that the Platintiff's repu tation is bad?" inquired the Judge, merely putting the question to keep his eyes open. "I didn't say it was good, I reckon." "Sir!" said the Counsel, "Sir! upon your oath-you say that Blimpkins is a rogue, a villain and a thief?" " Haven't you said so, Sir ?" replied Fieryfacees, becoming a little perplexed. " Why you've said it," said Pipkins, " what's the use of my repeating it?" " Mr. Pipkins," thundered Fieryfaces, in an excited manner, "Sir, I now charge you upon your sworn oath, do you or do you not say Blimpkins stole things ?" " No sir," was the cautious reply of ipkinis; "I never saidl Blimpkins stole things, but I do say he's got a devil of a wcay of findings things that nobody lost !" SoMEu college chaps were closely en gaged at some forbidden game, wvhen a footstep in the passage approached the door, and the familiar cough of Professor H. w~as heard. The room was on the first floor, and it was but the wvork of a moment to gather up and jump out the window. In this all succeeded except Jim, who threw himself behind the bed. " The wicked flee wvhen no man pursu eth," said the good Professor, as he en. iered the room. "But the righteous are as bold as a lion," answered Jim, as he sprung from his hiding place. Trhe-Professor laughedand said, " True, but the lion should not wag his tail or color iv the face so much."~ Donus says the first scoundrel who at tempts to dissolve this glorious Union, ought to be ground~ to death in a bark mill without the privilege of hollering. To protect the Constitution, Dobbs sleeps with it under his pillowv every night. DAB3STER says lie would notidlv ing like a bachelor, but when he comes to thjink that bachelors must die, and that they must go down to the grave without any one to cry for them it gives him a chill which frost-bites his philosophy. Wiit does water boil sooner in an old sauspan than a new one. Punch takes it upon himself to answer this obtruse query, by saying, "it's because the old un's used to it." Mad the Big =ead= Did you never hear how old uncle Drew Houston got clear of his horse? If not Il tell you. Uncle Drew had .a horse s6 old, so blind, and so poor, that he was worth less than nothing-he wasa dead ex pense. He could'nt give him away and hated to kill him, so he concluded to try another plan. He took him to town, had him put in the stable at the Hotel, sent his saddle home, and quietly commenced eating and drinking his horse off his hands. lie staid at the Hotel two or three days, run up a pretty little bill at the bar, until thinking it time to leave, lie called for his horse, stating at the same time that he had no money and must leave his bill unpaid. The bar-keeper communicated uncle Drew's predicament to the landlady. The landlady ordered the bar keeper to inform uncle Drew that he could not have his horse till his bill was paid, and a regular breeze was an ticipated. All a mistake, for uncle Drew, on being informed of the landlady's de cision, very coolly remarked that it made no difference to him, if he couldn't get his horse he could walk home, and so he did. The horse was kept a few days, they tried to sell him, but couldn't-then they tried to give him away but failed, anl fiually, after keeping him a week or two, had to make a summary disposition of him to prevent his eating off the other horses' head as he had his own. Pinos, the French author, was ques tioned by a haughty Police Magistrate concerning his profession. "I am a po et, sir," said Piron. "Oh, a poet," said the Magistrate; "I have a brother who is a poet."-" Then we are even," said Piron, "for I have a brother who is a fool." .

PENN, Ex'or. DR1. ROGERS' LIVERWORT AND TAR. A SAFE and certain cure for Coughs, Colds, Croup, Asthma, Consumption of the Lungs spitting of Ilood, Bronchitis, Hooping Cough, ud all Pubnonary Afiections. & Lovely Young Lady Cured of Consumption ! TnE following is from the pen of We. 1H. LE visoN, Esq., the distinguished editor of the U. S. Military and Naval Argus, under date of New York, January 26, 1851. What could be more conclusive ! "It is seldom we permit ourselves to occupy a pace in these columns to speak in praise of any article in the patent medicine way; but when we see the life of a fellow creature saved by the use of any medicine whatever, we consider It as our right, if not our duty, to give a simple slatement 0f facts, that others may, in like manner, be bene fitted. The case which has induced us to pen this article was that of a young lady of our acquain tance, who by frequent exposure to the night air, contracted a Cold which settled on the Lungs be fore its ravages could be stayed. (This occurred two years ago this winter.) Varous remedies were used, but with very little effect or benefit. The Cough grew worse, with copionus expectora tion, and the sunken eye, and pale, hollow cheek, told plainly that pulmonary disease was doing its worst on her delicate frame. The fam-ly ptrsi ean was consulted, and although he would not admit to the young lady that she really had the Consumption,yet he would give no encouragement. as to a cure. At this crisis her mother was per suaded to make use of a bottle of Dr. Rogers' Componnd Syrup of Liverwort and Tar, and we are happy to state she was perfectly cured in less than three months by this medicine alone, after even hope vwas destroyed. It is useless to com ment an such a case as this. for the simple truth will reach where polished fiction never can. If any doubt the authenticity of this statement, let them call at this Ofice.-~U. S. Military and Na val Argus. TESTZJONT O1 THE PRES1. From the N. Y. Courier, Aug 13. Da. Roraus' SYaUP OF LivERwonT AND TAR.-We have heard of several important cures recently effected by this excellent medicinal pre paration. and in orie instance that cme under our observation, we can speak confidently. One of our employees who had suffered severely from a long standing cold. during the past week com menced the use of this medicine, and his Cold has entirely disappeared. From the N. Y. Mirror, Sept. 2. LivF.twon'r AND TAR.-Of the virtnes of Dr. Rogers' Cough Medicines prepared from the above articles. it is needless now to speak; its eflicacy in speedily curing Coughs, Colds and other lung conplaints, which too freequently, if neglected, result iii Consumption, is too well established in public confidence to need eulogy now. From the N. Y. Despatch, Aug 25. Wr have heretofore taken occasion to give our testimony in favor of the eurative properties of Dr. Rogers' Componnd Syrup of Liver:wort aid Tar, atnd would here repeat the advice already given. for all persons who are afflieted with Con ,smnption, or any of tIe premonitory. symptoms, to maIke a trial of Dr. logersi preparation. f The Gentune is signed ANDREW Ilor.xts, onl the steel plate engraved wrapper around each bottle, and is sold wholesale and retail by SCOVIL & 311.,AD, 113 Chartres street, New Orleans, Sole General Agents for the Southern States, to whom all orders must be addresed.

The Trustees congratulate themselves, their riends and the public, on what they now con ider the perianent establishment of an institu fion of learning of so high a character in their District. The benefits which their own children, ith others, have experienced during the past Segsion, enables them witi the greater counfi dence, to recommend the luititution to the pat ronage of the community. The School was opened on the 18th of Sep tember last, with thirty-one Pupils, an& has since been gradually increasing. It is eonfident ly expected that the number in attendance will be greatly increased luring the next Session. The Institute building now contains seven rooms, all of which have been built, and are uss d, for purposes of Instruction. A file apparatus; a large collection of Maps; Anatomical. Charts, Globes, &e; a Museum of Natural History; a Cabinet of Minerals and Shells; furnish unusual facilities for acquiring a practical knowledge of thie'different branches of Science. The course of Study is of an elevated eharne ter, and more comprehensive, than that of most female institutions of the highest reputation. The PaLNe:PAi. devotes the whole of his time to the super:isiun and instruction of the various classes. The Assistants are experienceil in thicir difi. rent Departments, and those only of known sue cess in teaching are eniployed. The Academicatl year is divided into Fessions of 14 weeks eqch. It is of great importance - that the student be present at the commence ient of the Session. The Classes are then formed, and a few weeks delay may affect the standing of the pupil throughout the year. Expenses.

MUSAL DEPZTHEINTs The Department of Mlusic is under the super visit-n of one of the most accurate and aceom plished teachers in the State; and it is believed that unusual facilities are afdhrded for acquiring a thorough knowledge of this difficult science. In addition to regular private lessons, the pupils in this department are divided into classes, and taught on the plan of Pestalozzi. They devote much time to exercises, adapted to trais the ear. and the voice, and to impart an easy anid brilliant execution.. I'f they pursue thme iprescribed course of musi enl instruction. they acquire the art of reabing music with facility. Thmey arc required to be regular and systemat ic in prasiiIg gsdaily at th Insfitute.. The traing and entv ii~~ r 1~oo, receive amn uniusual degree of attention. The scietnce of Elocution is here applied, in develoip ing the voice for singing, with great efii-et. Thme Institutioti has been almost *-eekly visited by a large number of thme Indies and gentlemen of our villnge. whlo have invariably expressed te hiighest degree of satisfaction, at what they have heard an'd seen of the pronfeiey of time Pupils andl tihe arrangemient of the Institute. And the TrnusteeNi have only to add in conelu sion, that while ini their opinion. there arc many institutions of learnting deservedly popular in ur State. yet there are none which can furnish greateror more.snbstantial advantages to young Ladies tian that nder the charge of Mr. RA, N.
