THE DEEAM OF DEVOTION.
I never could find a good reason,
Why sorrow unbidden" Bhould stay,
And all the bright joys of lile's season,
Be driven unheeded away.
Our cares would wake no more emotion,"
YTerg we to our lot but resigned,
Than pebbles flung into the ocean,
That letfves scarce a ripple behind.
The world has a spirit of beauty,
Which looks upon all Tor the best
And while if discharges its duty,
To. Providence, leaves all the rest ;(
That spirit the dream of devotion, .
Whichj lights us thrpugh life to its close,
And sets, like the sun in the ocean,
More beautiful far than it rose.

THE HYAjCINTH.
! FROM THE GIKMAS, BY MRS. ST. SIMON.
Emily Was grieved because the winter lasted
o long ; for she was fond of flowers, and had a
little garden in which she raised-some very
beautiful ones, tending theni with her own hands.
Therefore she was vry anxioin that the-winler
might pasis away, aud the pleasant spring re
turn. '
Look j i Emily !" said her father, " I have
brought! tjiee a flower-root, a . bulb, but thou
must cultivate it thyself.".
" How can I, father J" iej)lied the maiden.
" Everythiig is covered with snow, and the earth
is as 'hard as a stone."
.' Thus she spoke, for she did .in.it know that
flowers might be raised in vases. Hut her fath
er gave her a va-Ve fiiled with earth, and Emily
placed the.jbulbs therein. She looked, -however,
at her' father and smiled, doubtful whether he
I was', in earnest in -what- ho ha sa: ; for she
imagined 'that llowt-rs could not thrive, unless
they had "the blue sky above their heads, and"
the m:ld breezes of spring about thero.
Iu a few; days the earth in the vase was raised,
and green leaves sprouted forth. Emily was
overjoyed, land she ran and told her father, her
mother, and the whole household, of the growth
of the you

Her father '-observed "her, and said : "That is

lent eye giycth value' to the bounty which the
hand dispenses.' Thy '.plant w ill be sure to thrive

The leaves soon appeared entirely above the
surface

Emily's thoughts were occupied wiih her flow
er, until she fed asleep at night, and as soon as
she awoke in the morning. . Often too in her
, tlreams, slier beheld her hyacinth in full blossom,
and when, in the morning, she found that it was
not ye unfolded, she was not troubled, but said,
. with a smile, " I must have, patience a little
longer."
Sometimes she .would ask her father w hether
the flower would be of this or that color, and
when she had enumerated all'the colors, she
would say cheerfully, " But it is all one to ni'e,
. iK it do but; blossom !" L
At length the blossom appeared. Early one
morning twelve little bells were found expanded.
. They hung down in the full bloom of youthful
beauty,

Emih's joy was palm and siK-nt, as shfc bent
over the flowery and gazed unoii it. Her father

the Jij acinth, and said.:
"Behold, ; Emily, hat the hyacinth is to thee,
that art thou to us!"
The maiden sprang thrw herself into her
father's arms, and, after a long embrace, she
said, in a low voice : Dear father ! 6h, that I
could rejoice your heart as you have rejoiced

1 THE GLADIATORS.
(jXADiatoks were combatants who' fought at
the public games in Home, for the entertain
ment of the spectators. They were at firit pri
soners, slaves or condemned criminals, but after:'
wards freemen fought in the aren'a, eitlrej-for
hire or frtmi choice. The regular glacfiators
were instructed in schools intended; for this pur
pose Overseers -of this school jxircha'sed the
gladiators and maintained them. They were
tired of him by those .who wished to exhibit
games to the people. The games were com
menced by a pralusio, in which thev fought
with weapons of wood, till, upon a. signal, they
assumed their arms, and begun in earnest to
fight in pairsl In cvtse the vanquished was not
killed in the combat, his fate was decided by the
people. If they decreed his death the thumb
was held . up in the air; the opposite motion
was a signal to save him. In general the doom
ed gladiator suffered death with wonderful firm
ness, and often heroically bared his bosom to
" the death blow. If he wished to appeal to the
people, he raised his hand; Wheu a gladiator
, was killed in the arena, attendants', appointed
for the purpose, dragged the body with iron
hooks into a1 room prepared for this use. - The
victors received a branch of palm or a palm gar-
. i
land. They were often r -leased from further
servitude, and as a badge of freedom, received a
wooden sword.
-We can readily leoneeive that "when brought
to the dread conflict in which the alternative be
fore them w;ts an . ignominious slaughter or a
life of freedom, ihey 'ould fight with a despe
rate coir;ige, and perform almost superhuman .
feats of strength and skill. They often were
captives, that by the chances of war had been
torn from home and friends and country, and
all that is dar in life, and on the fate of this
one struggle depended all of the hope and hap
piress that this world held out to them. '
But it not" unfrequently happened that cap
tUes from the same country friends, relations,
brothers by the merciless decree of their cruel
'captors, were itn-ad ' in this death struggle
against each otheiv Those uho had been com
panions in youth,-companions in war aiuj in de
feat, who had lived and hned together, were
doomed to tight against each other to gratify
thfe imperious and cruel taste of spectators more
- idegracjed' and far more depraved than the poor
slaves that were sacrificed to gratify their mor
bid desires. ,
The history "of humanity impresses us with
this truth, than "the human' character is made up
of siniiigi- contrasts 'ami inconsistencies. . It
seems strange, and almost incredible to us, that
a people like -the-Romans, so cultivated in their
literature, and so far Advanced in civilization,
and so exalted in many of their attributes, should
yi-t chevi-h the sanguinary and cruel spirit that
could. find amusement and pleasure in the bar
barities of a gladiatorial struggle,should delight
in the How of human blood, pud in the 'merci
less sacrifice of one who fought for dear life, and
perhaps fur "wife, and home and children, yet
such is
the fact. Gladiatorial combats were re
sorvt'ii
for feast-days and occasions of special
joy. They were patronized and paid for by the.
opulent and titled the very elite of the realm
Handsome ladies, arrayed in their costly attires,
and decked with jewels of untold wealth, found
a pleasure in the excitements of the death strug
gle between the poor combatants. Were these
persons de-void. -of- sensibility? No. There
were many of them endowed with noble na.
tun's. They were kind and sympathising: they
loved as mothers and sisters. Then how can
we account, .for this strange, this cruel taste ? It
was the effect of education. Many. enormities
were .tolerated in past ages, which are how

- Cowperthwait. & Co., of Philadelphia, aiid sold by
booksellers generally, Mitchell's Series of School Geog
raphies. Mitchell's Primary Gtography, third revised
edition, illustrated by more than. 100 beautiful engravings
and 14 coloured maps. The present edition f this popu
lar work is printed from new plates, the fourth stereotyp
ed for the book since its first appearance twelve years ago,
within which period more than a million copies have
been circulated.
Encouraged by the extensive patronvice bestowed on
this work, "the publishers have taken advantage of (he
present revision, much to improve it in every respect.
Such alterations in the text as recent geographical dis
coveries and changes rendered accessary , have been made.
The maps have been greatly improved and several new
and beautiful cuts, designed by Billings, and executed in
the finest style of the engraver's art, have been added.
Mitchell's Intermciiate Geography, revised edition, itr
quarto form, containing maps and reading matter in the
same book, illustrated by more than 40 colored; maps, and
150 engravings. This work occupies a medium space be
tween the author's Primary Geography, and the well
known School Geography and Atlas, of which last book
it contains about two-thirds ol ihe amount of matter.
For conveiiiertW of use, and leliable maps and mat
ter, this hook has no superior.
Mitchell's School Geography (met Atlas, fourth revised
edition. The present revision has been altogether more
thorough aiid complete than any heretofore attempted.
The book has been entirely re-written, and fully brought
up to the present time. Advantage has been taken of
many suggestions kindly offered by distinguished practical
teachers", to improve the work in its general plan and ar
rangement; and it is believed that it will hear the closest
criticism, both with reference to its geographical accura
cy, and its adaptation for use as a school manual.
The Atlas accompanying the new edition contains
thirty-two beautiful Alaps handsomely colored, and finely
executed in the best style of the engraver's art, fully rep
resenting all the. recent geographical discoveries. With
the United States' Maps especially, great pains have
been taken to exhibit correctly the numerous railroads
of the country, new county lines, and the true position of
many new and important towns, nor generally represent
ed in School .Atlases.
New andexcellent Maps of Wisconsin, Michigan, and
Texas, have been introduced. Others, showine the va
rious mutes to the Pacific, by the Isthmuses of Panama,
Tehuantepec, and Nicaragua, are now added, together
with a new man of the Sandwich Islands. :
The information obtained with reference to the new
States and Territories -west of the Mississippi, the discove
ries of Lt. De Haven, in his search for Sir John Frank- A
lin,and those oi late travelers in Central and Southern Af
rica, as also in Australia, have been incorporated in the
work. In short, it is bel ieved that no discovery or change
of any importance for the last ten years is left unnoticed in
this edition.
The Atlas also contains nine quarto pages of statistical
matter, arranged in tables, and obtained from the most
authentic sources: These tables exhibit the height of the
principal mountains mid volcanoes, the length of rivers, the
area of the principal islands and lakes; the extent and pop
ulation of the dine rent countries, and the population of the
principal cities upon the globe; all compiled from the
latest and most reliable authorities. In the department of
United States' statistics, the tables are very complete, and
exhibit fully the civil, industrial and political condition of
the country, as shown by the census of 1850. In addition
to these tables, is one showing the railroads and canals of
the United States, and .one presenting at a glance the im
portant events in the history of each State, and what
will be invaluable to every teacher, a full table of the
Educational Statistics of the Union.

METROPOLITAN FEMALE SEMINARY.
The subscriber proposes to open, on the second
Monday in January next, in the City f Raleigh, a High
School for young ladies, under the above title.
For this purpose, he has purchased the property form
ed owned, and employed for school purposes, ny the late
Rev. J. J. Finch. It is situated on Halifax street, a few
hundred yards north of the Capitol, in a pleasant and
desirable part of the city ; sufficiently near, to enjoy all the
advantages of the city, and sufficiently retired to be free
from most of its annoyance. ;
He has. purchased also an unimproved lot, in the same
vicinily, one- of the most ehsriblo and beautiful sites in
the city, upon which he intends, as soon as circumstances
will admit, to erect large and commodious buildings,
with special reference to school purposes. Many circum
stances conspire to render Raleigh a most desirable
location for a female school. j Its proverbinl healthfulness :
the Objects of interest, which attach to it, as the eapitol
of the State; its accessibility by means of rail-roads .the
high character of the institutions it already contains ; and
its growing importance, giving promise of permanent pros
perity, are all circumstances which caiinot be overlooked
by parents, desiring to give their daughters a polite and an
ccomplished education. The subscriber will 'be assisted
in the duties ot the school b Mrs. McDowell and other
competent and experienced instructors ; and all the facili
ties necessary to a first class st-hool, will be promptly provi
ded, i
The course of instruction will be thorough ; embracing
all the branches usually laijght in High Schools or Col
leges, and diplomas will be rgrantcd to those who com
plete the cour-e. Certificates of graduation will also be
given in Music and other Ornamental Branches, to those
who attain the requisite proficiency.
The sessions and vacations will be arranged to corres
pond as nearly as practicable with those of Wake
Forest College, in order that parents patronizing both
Institutions, may have the advantage of sending their sons
and daughters together.

as moderate, it is believed, as the expensiveness of living
and the facilities, which will be provided, will justify.
But experience has taught that Parents, who properly ap
preciate the education of their children, are more solicit
ous about the character of the instruction imparted, than
about the price paid for it.
Hence the prime object will not be to make the school
as cheap as possible, but to render the instruction as effici
ent as possible
The subscriber flatters himself that the experience he
has had in teaching young ladies and the satisfaction he
has been enabled to give, wdl be a sufficient guarantee, to
nil who may be disposed to patronize his school, that
their daughters will be properly cared for, and faithfully
instructed. And as he has undertaken this enterprise at the
urgent solicitation of numerous friends, and under the iifi
pression that important interests may be subserved there
by, he trusts that he shall not lack that generous sympathy
and liberal support which have been accorded to him
elsewhere.

; inburgh Edinburgh Monthly Medical Journal,
March, 1S45.-- Having made pretty extensive trial of
Bebeerine in Edinburgh, inukes the following ob
servations iu a letter io Dr. Maclagan, in January,
1M5 :
" You know that Piorry and others have somewhat
frightened us accouchers from employing Quinine dur
ing pregnancy ; and alleging, as they- do, that serious
consequences may ensue from the use of it. Nor is
Arsenic a medicine which one would choose to exhibit to
a pregnant female. Though thus deprived of ihe advan
tages to be derived from the use ol these two potent
remedies .in Periodic Neuralgias, latterly I have used
the Sulphate of Bebeerine in instances of "this kind, and
as it has appeared both to me and my patients, w'ith th
most perfect success. I prescribed it about a couple of
months ago to a lady who had one of the most severe
attacks of forehead and face Neuralgia that I remember
to have seen, lt came on towards noon, and kept her
in blindness and agony for some time. The ordinary
medical attendant on the familv had leeched her etc
w ithout relief. idviscd the Bebeerine to be given in two
gram pills repeatedly during the interval between the
paroxysms. As the medicine seemed to have no effect
1 gradually increased it, till on the third dav she took a
bout half a drachm of the Sulphate during the fourteen
or sixteen hours' intermission. To tell you the truth
I was beginning to despair of seeing the sufferings of
i my patient in any way relieved bv it, and would have
changed it for some other remedy next day but such
w as not required ; as, after the large dose I mentioned
j the usual fit was greatly less in severity, and in a day
or two entirely disappeared. Of her own accord my
! patient fell back upon the Be beerine pills some time
j afterwards, when the Neuralgia was again threatened
and it again speedily disappeared.
" Last year 1 saw a" similar case oi" periodic Tic in the fate
of a ladv far advanced in pregnancy. It yielded rapidly

-TO SINGERS AND PUBLIC SPEAKERS this
.remedy is invaluable, as its action on the thnoiit and
jlungs, when taken in small quantities, removes

power and flexibility of the voice. " ' '
ASTHMA is generally much relieved, and often
wholly cured by Cherry Pectoral. But there arc sonic
cases so obstinate as to yield entirely to no ntediciiio.
Cherry Pectoral will cure them, if they can be cured.
BRONCHITIS, or initatiop of the throat and; upper
portion of the lungs, may be cured by taking jL'HKintY
PECTORAt in small and frequent doses. ' Thp uiiOojnibrt
abVsjppptcssion is soon relieved. ' j j

"I have seen the Chkkry Pectoral cure such: cases
of Asthma and Bronchitis as leads me o believe it can
rarely fail to cure those diseases." iv j

I write to inform you of the truly rerrarkable effects ot
four CHERRY PECTORAL in this place, and in mr
iwn family. One of my daughters was cotjjpletely
jured in three days ot a dreadlul Whooping L-olgh, by
liking it. Dr. Means, one of our very best physicians
Teely states that he considers it the best remedy we.
lave for pulmonary diseases, and that he has cured more
jasea of Croup with it than any other medicine ie ever
idministered. ' . ' i
Our clergyman of the Baptist Church says that during
