in which the institution was called a college. This new organization led to opposition from the trustees of the school fund; but it was found that the existence of the two could be kept distinct, though they are now established under the direction of the same board of trustees. Lord Dartmouth gave name to the college to which, from his interest in the school, he was opposed. Governor Wentworth was the warm friend of the new college, which received grants of land, and was located at Hanover near the Connecticut river.

Eleazer Wheelock.

In 1770, Dr. Wheelock, approaching the age of sixty, left Lebanon, and commenced his new work in the wilderness. His family and the students at first lived in log huts on the clearing. The Memoirs of Dr. Wheelock give an interesting sketch of the novelties of the college life. Upon a circular area of six acres the pines were felled, and in all directions covered the ground to the height of about five feet. One of these was two hundred and seventy feet in height. Paths of communication were cut through them. The lofty tops of the surrounding forests were often seen bending before the northern tempest, while the air below was still and piercing. The snow lay four feet in depth between four and five months. The sun was invisible by reason of the trees, until risen many degrees above the horizon. In this secluded retreat and in these humble dwellings, this enterprising colony passed a long and dreary winter. The students pursued their studies with diligence; contentment and peace were not interrupted, even by murmurers.* A two-story college was erected, and in 1771 four students graduated, one of whom was John Wheelock, son of the first, and the future President of the College. Another was Levi Frisbie, father of the poet, and himself a writer of verses, in some of which he has celebrated the peculiar circumstances in which his Alma Mater was founded.

"Forlorn thus youthful Dartmouth trembling stood,
Surrounded with inhospitable wood:
No.silken furs on her soft limbs to spread,
No dome to screen her fair, defenceless head;
On every side she cast her wishful eyes,

Memoirs of the Rev. Eleazer Wheelock, Founder of Dartmouth, by M'Clure and Elijah Parish, 1:11.

Then humbly rais'd them to the pitying skies.
Thence grace divine beheld her tender care,
And bowed an ear, propitious to her prayer.
Soon chang'd the scene; the prospect shines more
fair;

Joy lights all faces with a cheerful air;
The buildings rise, the work appears alive,
Pale fear expires, and languid hopes revive.
Calm solitude, to liberal science kind,
Sheds her soft influence on the studious mind;
Afflictions stand aloof; the heavenly powers
Drop needful blessings in abundant showers.*

After ten years' government of the college the first president, Wheelock, died in 1779, aged sixty-eight. He was succeeded in the college government by his son John Wheelock, who was educated at Hanover, one of the first fruits of the college, and had been a tutor till the breaking out of the Revolution, when he led an active military life with Stark and Gates till his father's death recalled him from the army. In 1782 he was sent by the trustees to Europe for the collection of funds and the promotion of the college interests, which had not escaped the depression of the war. He carried with him letters from Washington, who had known and esteemed him as a Revolutionary officer, from the French Minister Luzerne to the Count de Vergennes. Arriving in France, Dr. Franklin and John Adams gave him introductions to the Netherlands, where a considerable sum of money was given by the Prince of Orange and others. In England he arranged the interrupted funds of the school-foundation, procured philosophical instruments and other valuable donations, and on his return to America, after suffering in a severe storm on the banks of Newfoundland, was wrecked on Cape Cod, barely escaping with life to the shore. The college property coming afterwards was saved. Dr. Wheelock's exertions were next directed to the erection of a college edifice by the further collection of funds and other co-operation, for which the institution was greatly indebted to him. He also discharged the duties of professor of history. After thirty-six years' occupancy of his position his connexion with the institution was violently closed.

The college was managed by a body of trustees, created by the charter, who filled vacancies in their number. In 1815 they drew attention upon themselves by an act memorable not only in its immediate but in its ultimate consequences, as affecting the position of the college and determining a great question of legal and constitutional right. Differences in the college with the trustees, and questions of religious opinion, led them in that year to remove Dr. Wheelock from the presidency. A large portion of the public affected to be outraged at the proceeding. Governor William Plummer invited the attention of the state legislature to the subject, who, asserting their claim to alter or amend a charter of which they were the guardians, in

From a poem "On the Rise and Progress of Moor's Indian Charity School (now incorporated with Dartmouth College) its removal and settlement in Hanover, and the founding a Church in the same, by one of Dr. Wheelock's pupils, educated in said school, and now a member of said college, preparing for a mission among the Indians." It is printed in the notes to M'Clure and Parish's Memoirs of Wheelock.

Dartmouth College.

1816 passed acts creating a new corporation. Nine trustees to be appointed by the governor and council, were added to the old body, the corporate title changed to Dartmouth University, and the property vested in the new board. The old tru tees set all this legislation at naught, and keeping up their organization commenced an action for the recovery of the college property. It was decided against them by Chief-Justice Richardson in the Superior Court of the state, and thence carried to the Supreme Court of the United States before Chief-Justice Marshall, where in 1819 the judgment was reversed, and the great principle of the inviolability of chartered corporate property fully established. It was in this cause that Daniel Webster, at the age of thirtyfive, made the commencement of his great reputation as a constitutional lawyer.* He had become a graduate of the college seventeen years before, in 1801, and had argued the cause for the plaintiffs in the highest state court. Mr. Ticknor has described the effect of his argument for the rights of the trustees and the college in the Supreme Court:-" He opened his cause with perfect simplicity in the general statement of its facts, and then went on to unfold the topics of his argument in a lucid order, which made every position sustain every other. The logic and the law were rendered irresistible. As he advanced, his heart warmed to the subject and the occasion. Thoughts and feelings that had grown old with his best affections rose unbidden to his lips. He remembered that the institution he was defending was the one where his own youth had been nurtured; and the moral tenderness and beauty this gave to the grandeur of his thoughts, the sort of religious sensibility it imparted to his ur-, gent appeals and demands for the stern fulfilment of what law and justice required, wrought up the whole audience to an extraordinary state of excitement." Joseph Hopkinson of Philadelphia, who was engaged on the same side with him, wrote to President Brown on the decision-"I would advise you to inscribe over the door of your institution, founded by Eleazer Wheelock:

refounded by DANIEL WEBSTER."* In this case Webster was the associate of Jeremiah Smith and Jeremiah Mason; opposed to John Holmes of Maine, William Pinckney and William Wirt of Maryland.

The local agitation which this interference with the college excited was prodigious. Rival newspapers waged furious war, the Dartmouth Gazette and the Portsmouth Oracle in behalf of the college, and the New Hampshire Patriot for the popular opposition.t Religious and political antipathies lent their aid to the controversy. In the midst of the difficulties President Wheelock, who had been restored by the new board of the university, died within two months after that event, in April, 1817, at the age of sixty-three.

In 1816, an important pamphlet, of which Dr. Wheelock furnished the material, appeared, which was an entrenched garrison of facts and statements for the support of his friends and attacks of his enemies. It was entitled, "Sketches of the History of Dartmouth College and Moor's Charity School, with a particular account of some late remarkable proceedings of the Board of Trustees, from the year 1779 to the year 1815." It is given by Allen, who married his daughter, as the composition of Wheelock. It is well written. He also published a eulogy on Dr. Smith, the classical professor of the College, and Allen tells us that he prepared further a large historical work, still remaining in manuscript. He was a laborious student, rising early, and abstemious.

Francis Brown was the regular successor appointed by the Trustees on the removal of Wheelock in 1815. He was a native of New Hamp shire, born in 1784, a graduate of the College, and subsequently pastor of the church in North Yarmouth, Maine. Succeeding Wheelock in the presidency of Dartmouth, he carried the College by his exertions successfully through its difficult period of conflict. His serious illness followed close upon the decision of the important college question. He travelled for his health, but shortly returned to die at Hanover, July 27, 1820. He left a few published discourses, among which were a defence of Calvin and an Address on Music, delivered before the Handel Society of Dartmouth College in 1809.

Dr. Brown was succeeded by the Rev. Daniel Dana, who retained the office but one year, when the Rev. Bennet Tyler succeeded, and, upon his resignation in 1828, the present incumbent, the Rev. Nathan Lord, received the appointment.

tion, while Moor's school still remains a distinct and independent corporation, furnishing an Academical department. The Professorships of the Greek and Latin Languages and Literature are respectively held by the Rev. John N. Putnam and E. D. Sanborn. Lectures are delivered to the Senior Class by the President, on the studies of the year; by Professor Ira Young on Natural Philosophy and Astronomy to the Juniors, by Professor Oliver Payson Hubbard, M.D., on Chemistry and Geology to the Seniors, and on Mineralogy to the Juniors; by Professor Clement Long, D.D., on Intellectual Philosophy to the Seniors, by Professor Samuel Gilman Brown, D.D., on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres to the Seniors and Juniors, by Professor Edwin David Sanborn on History to the Sophomores, by Professor Daniel James Noyes, D.D., on Theology and Moral Philosophy to the Seniors and Juniors; by Professor E. D. Peaslee, M.D., on Anatomy and Physiology to the Seniors. The Hon. Joel Parker holds the chair of Medical Jurisprudence to the Faculty. The Rev. Dr. Roswell Shurtleff, who was Professor of Moral Philosophy from 1827 to 1838, has since that time reached Emeritus. The Rev. Charles B. Haddock was Professor of Rhetoric from 1819 to 1838, and afterwards of Intellectual Philosophy and Political Economy. He has since held a foreign appointment from 1851 to 1853, as Chargé d'Affaires at Lisbon. In 1846 he published a Collection of Addresses and Miscellaneous Writings. Dr. Oliver Wendall Holmes was Professor of Anatomy and Physiology from 1838 to 1840. The Chandler Scientific School was founded by a bequest of Abiel Chandler, late of Walpole, N. H., and formerly of Boston, Mass., who gave fifty thousand dollars to be invested, and the income applied to "the establishment and support of a permanent department or school of instruction in the College, in the practical and useful arts of life, comprised chiefly in the branches of Mechanics and Civil Engineering, the Invention and Manufacture of Machinery, Carpentry, Masonry, Architecture and Drawing, the Investigation of the Properties and Uses of the Materials employed in the Arts, the Modern Languages and English Literature, together with Book-keeping, and such other branches of knowledge as may best qualify young persons for the duties and employments of active life." These studies are embraced in a regular course of three years, and the scholars pursuing them are entitled to a degree of Bachelor in Science.

The various libraries connected with the College have an aggregate of more than thirty thousand volumes. By the enumeration of the Catalogue, it appears that the whole number of the alumni in 1852 was 2,719, of whom 1,697 were then living. Six hundred and eighty-four of these had become Ministers of the Gospel.

SAMUEL LOW.

FROM the concluding couplet of one of the author's poems, dated December 11, 1785"Yes, twice ten years ago to-morrow night, Began to breathe the rhyming, moon-struck wight"— we may place the date of his birth December 12, 1765.

collection opens with an ode on the death of General Washington, which was recited by Hodgkinson in the New York Theatre, January 8, 1800. It contains a number of other poems addressed to Washington, and several patriotic effusions on the fourth of July and the adoption of the constitution. Themes of a private and familiar, as well as a public nature, attracted his ready muse. "A Glass of Wine,” and “ A Cigar," are honored like Anna, Portia, Fraternus, and others, with a sonnet a-piece; while the births, marriages, and deaths of his family and friends are commemorated more at length. A few humorous trifles towards the close of the second volume bear the title of "Juvenile Levities." The most elaborate effort of the collection is a descriptive poem of some length on Winter. The picture of the cottage fireside is pleasing.

THE WINTER FIRESIDE.

While uproar now incessant reigns without,
While Winter pours his ruffian blasts about,
Columbia's peasants trim their ample fires,
And through their dwellings genial heat transpires;
In yonder cot, whence smoky columns rise,
The rustic group, secure from stormy skies,
Their ev'ning hours in tranquil ease employ,
And rural pastime 'wakes their souls to joy;
A social crescent round the fire they form,
Whose vivid blaze at once can cheer and warm;
Beneficence and simple truth are there,
And there content and innocence repair;
The surly mastiff by his master stands,
And wistful begs a morsel at his hands;
Around the room her tricks grimalkin tries;
The crackling faggot up the chimney flies;
The cricket chirrups blithesome in the hearth,
And all conspire to heighten harmless mirth,
The roof, that pond'rous heaps of snow sustains,
Now loudly cracking, of the storm complains:
They hear the tempest rage, but reckless hear;
Its piercing blast they neither feel nor fear;
In words uncouth they tell their rustic tales,
Soon o'er the list'ning throng the charm prevails;
Of goblins dire some talk, while others hear
With wond'ring approbation, mix'd with fear;
Imagination's terrors o'er them creep,
And banish from their eyes encroaching sleep:
In social converse fleet their winter nights,
Or the brisk dance, or jocund song delights;
Columbia's rural daughters join the strain,
Or lead the dance, with each her fav'rite swain;
The quaint old ballad prompts some son'rous voice,
While sires and matrons silently rejoice:

Or if some wit or humorist be there,
Or Humor's murderer, or Wit's despair,
A clam'rous laugh applauds his poor pretence;
Grimace is humor there, and triteness sense.
By Science uninform'd, and unrefin'd

By aught of taste that guides the cultured mind,
The mimic's Proteus power, that can adapt

Itself to all things, with resemblance apt;
The sprightly jest; the applicable thought;
And irony, with hidden satire fraught;
The ludicrous burlesque that laughter moves;
The attic flash of wit that genius loves;
The ready repartee; the well-timed pun;-
All these their feelings and their sense outrun:
Such brilliant sallies have no power to please,
Perceptions unappropriate to these;
But, tho' their faculties 'gainst these rebel,
The coarse attempt at wit they relish well;
The common-place remark, and vulgar joke,
Delight them more than if a GARRICK spoke:
In such rude ignorance perhaps more blest
Than if fastidious taste their minds possess'd;
They know not what the critic's raptures mean,
But neither do they know the critic's spleen;
Disgust, and pride, and envy gnaw his breast,
But they, at least, are negatively blest;
For apathy, stupidity, and phlegm,
And sensual good, are happiness to them;
With daily toil and nightly ea e conten^,

Thus Winter glides, and thus their lives are spent.

ON A SPRING OF WATER IN KINGS COUNTY, LONG ISLAND.

When parch'd by thirst, and faint with heat,
I make this fav'rite spot my seat,
And see, beneath the willow's shade,
This limpid spring, this sweet cascade,
Which through a million pores of earth
Refines and filtrates ere its birth,
In gentle currents pour along,
The green and flow'ry meads among;
And carry my delighted gaze
Where'er its course meand'ring strays,
And see it kissing, as it flows,

Each shrub that here luxuriant grows,
Each od'rous plant of varied green,-
O, how delicious is the scene!
When o'er the fount I eager bend,
And hear the gurgling sound ascend,
And see the pearly globules rise,

My ears are charm'd, regal'd mine eyes;
But when, my burning thirst to slake,
I Nature's wholesome bev'rage take,
Far more refreshing is the draught
Than that by Bacchanalians quaff'd:
No liquid fire, of man the bane,
That yields us joy which ends in pain,
Can thus revive and charm each sense,
Or such salubrious gifts dispense:
Not juice from luscious grapes express'd
Can yield so sweet, so pure a zest ;
For, though the rich potation please,
It prostrates mind, and sows disease.
Then shun, oh, man! the specious good,
Dash from your lips the purple flood,
Nor let its fires inflame your blood;
Escape from such fallacious joys,
From frantic mirth and brutal noise;
From Circe's incantations flee,
And taste unmix'd delight with me;
Here draw supplies of strength for age,
And here your fev'rish thirst assuage.

Like Kais* were you doom'd to roam
Far, far from Leila and your home;
(Arabia's Nightingale was he,
His incense-breathing Rose was she.)
Ah! if like him in desert lands,
You trod forlorn on burning sands,
And breath'd Arabia's torrid air,

And found nor shade nor fountain there;

See D'Israeli's romance of Mejnoun and Leila.

Your wasting frame with fever fir'd,
Increas'd by ev'ry breath respir'd;
O'er your scorch'd head a brazen sky;
Around no spot to bless your eye
With verdure cooling shade or stream,
(Obnoxious to the solar beam)

Your arid tongue consum'd by thirst,
Your heart by hopeless love accurs'd,-
How would you pant, and long, and mourn
For this sweet Spring which now you scorn!
But should benignant Genii bear,
From sandy wastes, and stagnant air,
Your haggard form, by Famiue worn,
Which heat hath blasted, flints have torn,
To this blest spot, where Phoebus' beam
Nor shrivels plants nor dries the stream;
If, by a miracle, convey'd

Beneath this lovely willow's shade,
You heard this rill,-romantic sound!
In soothing murmurs purl around;
And look'd and gaz'd with raptur'd eyes
On all things cir led by the skies
And felt what cooling intiuence brings
The zephyr on its balmy wings;
And what refrigerating power
Is in the soft, pellucid shower,
Which falls so sweetly, gently here,
That ev'n the sight can cool and cheer,—
O! what a Paradise of bliss

A scene delectable like this
Would open to the ravish'd view
Of such a dying wretch as you!
"Twould all your languid powers revive,
And bid exhausted Nature live!

Beneath a scorching vertie sun,

A fearful distance still to run,
What would the harass'd seaman give,
Could he to such a spot arrive!

Oft does the famish'd suff'rer dream
Of such a spot, with such a stream;
And oft the draught which he desires
From his unsated lip retires;
He 'wakes to longings more intense,
His veins are fir'd, disturb'd his sense;
He 'wakes to fev'rish thirst a prey,
And joyless ploughs the briny way.
Narcissa, innocent as fair,

Of this translucent Spring beware;
For when, your ardent thirst to slake,
You stoop the temp'rate draught to take,
This mirror may attract desire,
And water may engender fire;
For in that mirror you may view
A form as beautiful as you;
That form, already passing fair,
Will shine with added beauty there;
In it the clear cerulean sky
With brighter azure charms the eye,
And the light fleece which floats in air,
Is lovelier when reflected there:
Then lest (like erst an am'rous swain)
You love your beauteous self in vain,
And for that lovely image sigh
Which in the crystal fount you spy,
Admire not those reflected charms,
Nor vainly strive to fill your arms
With the fair shadow you would miss,
But seek for safer, purer bliss;
Less fleeting, more attractive too,—
Admire the mind which dwells in you.

JOHN S. J. GARDINER.

JOHN SYLVESTER JOHN GARDINER, the Rector of Trinity Church in Boston, the author of nume

rous published discourses, and the imputed writer of the political-poetical tract of the Jacobiniad, was born of American parentage in South Wales, at Haverford West, in 1765. His father, John Gardiner, the son of Dr. Sylvester Gardiner, was a native of Boston, who was sent to be educated in England, and who studied law at the Temple. In London he became the intimate of Churchill the satirist, and the acquaintance of Lord Mansfield. His participation in the liberal measures of the day as junior counsel in the Wilkes case, marked his future political principles. Having married in Wales, he left Great Britain in 1766, with the appointment of attorney-general to the island of St. Christopher, remaining in the West Indies till after the Revolution, when, in 1783, he removed to Boston. He delivered a Fourth of July Oration in 1785 for the town authorities of Boston. next settled at Pownalboro, in Maine, whence he was sent to the Legislature of Massachusetts.

He

In 1792, he delivered a speech in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, on the subject of the Report of the Committee appointed to consider the Expediency of repealing the law against Theatrical Exhibitions within this Commonwealth, in which he maintained with spirit, good humor, and a considerable array of learning, the rights of the stage. He was assisted in his reading on the subject by Thaddeus Mason Harris and others, and his numerous quotations extend over Greek and Roman literature as well as the recent English poetry. A passage will show the ardor with which he entered upon the matter.

"The illiberal, unmanly, and despotic act, which now prohibits theatrical exhibitions among us, to me, sir, appears to be the brutal, monstrous spawn of a sour, morose, malignant, and truly benighted superstition, which, with her impenetrable fogs, hath but too long begloomed and disgraced this rising country!- country by nature,intended for the production and cultivation of sound reason, and of an enlightened, manly freedom! From the same detestable, canting, hypocritic spirit was generated that abominable Hutchinsonian WARDEN ACT, which hath twice, in my time, been reprobated by the House of Representatives, who passed two several bills for its repeal; although, it seems. it could not be given up by certain Simon Pures, the sanctified zealots of former senates. It is to be lamented that this hypocritic, unconstitutional act is still permitted to disgrace our statute book; while every man who has duly investigated the sacred principles of civil liberty contemns, and, with the enlightened town of Boston, abhors, and pays not the smallest respect, the least attention, to this abominable impotent act. Notwithstanding Boston annually refuses to choose the tyrannical wardens, I would ask, where, under the sun, are there on the Sabbath day, a more decent, orderly people than the inhabitants of this great commercial sea-faring town, who thus continue to treat with due contempt that hypocritic nefarious act."*

The law dated from the year 1750. Gardiner, assisted by Dr. Jarvis, to whom he gave the epithet of "the towering Bald Eagle of the Boston seat," was unsuccessful in his advocacy of the petition. The law remained in force. Samuel Adams and Benjamin Austin opposed the repeal. The latter, says Dunlap. quoting Dramatic Reminiscences in the New England Magazine, wrote a series of essays to prove that Shakespeare had no genius. William Tudor and Charles Jarvis supported stage exhibitions. In 1792, the matter was circumvented by an exhibition room which introduced the lower rak of theatrical performances. The next year the law was repealed.-Dunlap's Am. Theatre, ch. xi.

To this speech was appended "A Dissertation on the Ancient Poetry of the Romans; with Incidental Observations on certain Superstitions," &c.

Gardiner was drowned off Cape Ann, in a storm, Oct. 1793, when he was on his way to the General Court of Massachusetts, leaving the reputation of a man of energy as a politician and speaker.

His son had been taken in his childhood to Boston for education. On the breaking out of the Revolution he returned to his father in the West Indies, and was sent at the age of eleven to England, where he passed six years under the instruction of Dr. Parr. Ile rejoined his father, and shortly proceeded with him to Boston. At first he directed his attention to the law, but soon attached himself to divinity, receiving his ordination in 1787 from Bishop Provoost at New York. He began preaching at Beaufort, S. C. In 1792 he was appointed assistant minister of Trinity Church on the Greene foundation, and in 1805, on the death of Bishop Parker, became Rector,relinquishing at this time the charge of a grammar-school which he had conducted on an exact and critical model in the studies of Latin and Greek, in which he was a proficient.

His religious tenets thus differed from those of his father, who had been instrumental in effecting the change of the English liturgy in the Book of Common Prayer in King's Chapel, by omitting the allusions to the Trinity. Dr. Gardiner, the divine was a staunch advocate of Episcopacy, and a zealous Federalist, warm in his attachment to England. His numerous published Discourses always furnish indications of his acumen, extensive reading, and independent judgment. He was a good hater of the French school of politicians of his day, of which proof may be found in his discourses as well as in the satire of the Jacobiniad. The latter was communicated in a series of numbers to the Federal Orrery. Under cover of a review of a pretended poem, "The Jacobiniad," of which extracts were furnished, the liberal clubs of Boston, with their members, were sharply satirized. The papers were afterwards collected together and published with several vigorous etchings of spirit-probably the best things of the kind which had then appeared in the country.

In a Fast Day Sermon at Trinity Church, in 1808, Gardiner thus expressed his view of the relations of the country towards France and England.

Though submissive and even servile to France, to Great Britain we are eager to display our hatred and hurl our defiance. The American eagle, though meek as a dove before the Gallic cock, yet to the British lion will present the "terrors of his beak, the lightnings of his eye," and the strength of his

Well may they dread the Muse's fatal skill:Well may they tremble, when she draws her quill; Her magic quill, that, like Ithuriel's spear, Reveals the cloven hoof, or lengthened ear; Gives fools and demagogues their natural shapes; Makes Austins crocodiles-and Vinals, pes; Drags the vile Clubbist from his dark abode, Till all the demon starts up from the toad.
