TEN HEARS ago.

Ten years ago, ten years ago,
Life was to us fairy scene;
And the keen blasts OF wnrldy woe
Had sear'd not then its pathway green.
Youth and its thousand dreams were ours,
Feelings ne'er can know again;
Unwither'd hopes, unwastcd powers,
And frames unworn by mortal pain
Such the bright and genial How
OF life with listen years ago.
Time has not banch'd single hair,
Thai clusters round thy forehead now;
Nor hath the cankering touch OF care
Left cen one furrow on thy brow.
Thine eyes are blue as when we met,
In loves deep truth, in earlier years;
Thy cheek OF rose is blooming yet,
Though sometimes stain'd by secret tears;
But where, oh where's the spirits glow,
That shone through al-ten years ago?
I, too, am changed-I scarce know why;
Can feel each Tagging pulse decay;
And youth and health, and visions high,
Melt like wreath of snow away
Time canno, sure have wrought the i'll;
Though worn in this worlds sick'ning strife,
In soul and form, linger still
In the first summer month OF life;
Yet journey on my path below,
Oh! how unlike-ten years ago.
But look not mus WOulu NOT give
The wreck of hopes that thou must share,
To bid those joyous hours revive
When all around me seemd so fair.
We've WANDERED on in sunny weather.
When winds were low and flowers in bloom,
And hand in hand have kept together,
And still will keep, mid storm and gloom;
Endear'd by ties we could not know
When life was young-ten years ago?
Has fortune frown'd? Her frowns were vain,
For hearts like ours she could not chill;
Have friends provd false Their love nigh
wane,
But ours grew fonde-, 6rmer still
Twin barks on this worlds changing wave,
Steadast in cams, in tempess tried;
In concert still our fate we'll brave,
Together cIeave ife's hfnl tide;
Nor mourn, whatever winds may blow,
Youths first wild dreams ten years ago.
Have we not kneIt beside his bed,
And watchd our first born blossom die;
Hop'd, till the shades of hope had fled,
linen wept till feelings tount was drys
Was il not sweet, in that dark hour,
To think, mid mutual tears and signs,
Our bud has left its earthly bower
And burst to bloom in Paradise
What to the thought that sooth'd that wo,
Were heartless Joy-ten years ago.
Yes, il is sweet, when heaven is bright,
To share its sunny beams With thee;
But sweeler lar, 'mid clouds and blight,
To have thee near to weep with me.
Then dry those tears--though something changes
From what we were in earlier youth;
Time, that hath hopes and friends estranged,
Hath left US love in all its truth;
Sweet feelings we would OF forego
For life's las. joy-ten years ago.

CHI EsTERFIELD, JR.

The late Loan.-We observe that some of the
Eastern papers complain that the late loan OF
Five Millions OF Dollars was suffered to be taken,
at four and half per cent by the Bank of the
United States seeing that, as they aver individuals
offered premiums for portions Of the loan at that
rate of INTEREST," and explanations upon the subject
|are loudly called for
We do not pretend to understand much Of these
matters but the following facts, which we have from
good authority, will serve to throw some light upon
The matter.
The aggregate Of all the individual offers for por.
|tioas of this loan did not exceed ole half of the
whole required amount. These offers were made
par and various rates OF advance upon par, the
highest of which did not exceed two and a half per
|cent.
The Bank of the United States offered to take
the whole, but nothing less than the whole, of the
loan, at par. In No other manner could the gov.
|ernment have fulfilled the intention of the law.
than by accepting the bid OF the Bank Of the United
States.
Again The government owns one fifth of the
whole stock of the Bank of the United States, and
lis, OF course, entitled TO onefth of the whole profits
of the Bank. The offer of the Bank to take the
whole of this loan at the low rate of and half
per below the legal rate OF interest shows that
the Bank had that amount OF capital wholly une m
ployed, and of course unproductlve. BY the nego-
alion of this loan, that unproducve capital is made
Ito produce to the Bank interest of four and
half per cent-one fifth of which will be repaid to
the u States in he shape Of dividends on the capt.
tai stock OF the Bank.
| Making allowance for this repayment, it will be
seen that, though nominally paying four and half
per cent. interest on this loan the government, be-
ing itself partner in the Bank which has taken it,
will, in effect, be paying only traction more than
three and half per cent. upon the loan.

to be entrenched near Modon, and unmolested by
the Greeks. Odysseus has embraced the side of the
Turks, and left at Negropont his mother and wife
as hostages, thus giving evidence of his opinion OF
the Greek cause. He was impregnable in his en-
renchments Mount Parnassus, and could not
have been compelled to take this step. This ac-
count comes from Syra. Further and more authen-
