Till Change itself shall cease to be, And one successive scene Of steadfastness immutable Remain where Change hath been. _Manual Labor Schools--By the Rev. E. F. Stanton_ is an essay which, while we disagree with it in some of its results, will serve to convince any one of the absolute importance of exercise to men of sedentary habits or occupations. _Song of Lee's Legion_--very spirited verses. _Natural Bridge of Pandi_, and _Fall of Tequendama_ are both acceptable articles. _Lines on the Statue of Washington in the Capitol_, although a little rugged in conclusion, are terse and forcible, and embody many eloquent sentiments. We recognize one of our most distinguished men--a fellow-townsman too--in the nerve and vigor of these verses. The _Epigram_ below them is not worth much. _The Patriarch's Inheritance_--majestic and powerful. _Americanisms_--a very good article, and very true. _To Randolph of Roanoke_. These lines have some fine points and the versification is good--but we do not like them upon the whole. _Judge Tucker's Address_, and _Mr. Maxwell's Speech_ before the Virginia Historical and Philosophical society, we read with much interest. Things of this nature are apt to be common place unless the speakers are men of more than ordinary _tact_. There is no deficiency, however, in the present instance. Mr. Maxwell's speech, especially, is exceedingly well adapted to produce effect in delivery--more particularly in such delivery as Mr. Maxwell's. The _Address of Professor Dew_ is, beyond doubt, an article of great ability, and must excite strong attention, wherever it is read. It occupies full 20 pages--which, perhaps, could not have been better occupied. He has fully proved that a Republic such as ours, is the fairest field in the world for the growth and florescence of Literature. The _Critical Notices_ maintain their lofty reputation--but as they will assuredly be read by all parties, and as we have already exceeded our limits, we forbear to enter into detail. The Messenger is no longer a query, it has earned a proud name. It demands encouragement and _will have it_. From the Cincinnati Mirror.
