TEN YEARS AGO.
That time is mast.

That time is past,
And all its aching joys are now no more,
AnaaiI ITS dizzy rapturesi Not for this
FAINT |, nor mourn, nor murmur. Other gifts
Have followed for such loss would believe,
Abundant recompense WORDSWORTH.
lENyears ago, ten years ago,
Lille was 10 4 fairy scene;
And the keen blasts of worldly
Had sered not then its pathway green.
Youth, and its thousand dreams were ours,
Feelings ne'er know again;
unwitherii hopes, unwasted powers,
And flames unworn by mortal main
Such was the bright and genial flow
or life with us--ten years ago!
Time has not blanch'd single hair
mat clusters round thy forehead now;
Nol hath the cankering touch of care
Lett even one furrow on thy brow.
Thine eyes are blue as when we met
In loves deep truth, in earlier wears:
my cheek OF rose is blooming vet,
Though sometimes stain'd by secret tears;
But where, oh where's the spirits glow,
That shone through all-ten years ago?
/, too, am chansed-I SCARCE know why
Can feel each tagging pulse decay;
And youth and health, and visions high,
Melt like Il wreath of snow away;
lime cannot sure have wrought the i'll;
Though worn in this worlds sck'ning strife
In soul and form, 1 linger still
In the first summer month of life;
Iet Journey on my path below,
Oh. how unlike-ten wears ago.
But look not thus-I would not give
The wreck of hopes that thou must share,
10 bid those joyous hours revive,
When all around me seemd 81 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;
Endeor'd by ties 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 chilli
Have friends prov'd false? Their loves might wane
But ours grew fonder, frmer still.
iwin barks on this worlds changing wave.
Stediast in Gains, in tempest tried.
In concert still our fate we II brave,
Together cleave life's fitlul tide;
Nnr mourn whatever winds may blow
Youths first wild dreams-ten wears ago.
Have we not knelt beside his bed
Ana watch'd our first-born blossom die9
Hoped, till the shade of hope had fled,
Then wept till feelings fount was dry?
Was it not sweet, in that dark hour,
To think, mid mutual tears and sghs
Our bud had left its earthly bower,
And burst, to bloom in Parad
What 10 the thought that sooth'd that wee
Were heartless joys-ten years ago,
les, 1t as sweet, when heaven is bright,
10 share its sunny beams with thee;
But sweeter far mid clouds and blight,
10 have thee near to weep with me.
AEen dry those teafs--thuu.h some thing changed
From what were in earlier youth,
Time, that hath hopes and friends estrangcd,
HATH left US love in I'll its truth;
Sweet feelings would not forego
For LIES best joys-ten years ago,

CONFERENCE.-The the course OF few re-

would be gradually dimin- he'd az the facilities

colony grew in importance. We y ere not then

several months, and the cost was about 60 dollars
Tor each Individual Afterwards the Cyrus trans
ported one hundred emf grants with provisions for
more then sixty days for 26 dollars each The
passengers in the Hunter which sailed for Africa
rev months ago, were taken ont with supplies for
SIXTY days, for little less than 20 dollars 10 the in
