On the hopes which are ras'd by juvinilo mind,
For Fancy her views does most widely Extend
Attracted by pleasures--rve nsper can find!
The hopes of youth, are the senses soft dreams
From pampered passions they frequently spring.

To promise enjoymcnt--it nsver uiR bring.

DEsULToRY THOUGHTS
OF Tine EVENTS OF THE PAST VEAR.


The cOntemplGtiVe mind is struck with wons
der and astonishnent when it reflects on the
stupendOus chsnges and momeDtous events
which have marked the progress Of the past
year. Had they been predicted at its commence
ment had any one told US that in the short
space OF twelve months such wonderful events
would have taken place in the political world,
we should not have hsstated to declare he was
fool or a madman. The commencement Of the
year 1914, found all Europe in arms BONA
PARTE in the full tide Of his glory, welding
the sceptre OF France and Italy, and waging q
successful war against the cbaesoed powers -
and England straining every nerve TO prop her
wsneing power. What mighty transition has
since taken place We now see the European
world reposins in peace the reigns Of govern.
ment in France transferred to its legitimate"
sovereign; Napoleon baniShed TO a foreign
cline and England drunk with the madness of
power, and elsted ~ her European successes,
directing her renovated strength with renewed
Vigour against the American REPUBLrc.
Although Europe now enjoys respite from
the horrors Of desolsting war, yet we are far
from believing her agony s sVey." The his.
tory Of Great Britain and France, evinces, that
two nAtons made up Of such heterogeneous and
DESCENDANT materials, cannot long remain in
amity and were we to indulge in sugury, we
would venture the prediction, that before many
moons their vians Of peace will bs SoAndoned,

whether the ride hand Of faction in conjunction
with foreign foe, shall succeed in driving
from our country, the last remains Of freedom.
