THE LIGHT OF OTHER TINES.

1t is not in the season of infancy, when the
tongue half artic ulates the name of mamma,
in lisping accenis-when the little arms are
twined around the nurses neck, in gratitude
for some dainty just received, and the eye
sparkles as it gazes on some novel object, in all
the fervor Of newborn enthusiasm, that the
bosom thrills with the pleasures, or throbs with
the pains OF memory. But little time and
the scene is changed-in our scho0lday trou-
bles, Young and thoughtless as the heart may
be, we feel lbs inAuence-we leave, perchance,
our native home, and the companions Of our
infantine sports.
The first tear Of real grief now dims the eye.
as we recall our childish joys, and contrast
them with The dull monotony Of study and dis
cipline. And where are the absent friends
whose society may have charmed, and whose
sympathy may have soothed Us?v Together
with them the promenade may have hesu past,
or the volume perused-they have, shared our
Joys and sorrows in other hours--thry may have
mingled with us in the festive daHee, and their
voices with ours may have harJBonized many q

these scenes have vanished; but in moments Of
visionary indulgence, these images will rise up
on the fancy, at the recollection Of WHICH we
SMILE whilewe sigh, and sigh while we smile >
And we may roam from place to place-new
scenes will burst upon the eye, natures charms
are spread before us, the majesty of the noun
tain, the grandeur of the wave, the magni6cence
of the woodland wilds, or the Beauty Of the
grove and the grace Of the rivalet, may rise up
on the eye-yet while the enthusiastic spirit is
revealing in haunts like these, the hear, will Of.
ten linger round the natal bowers we have left
behind; warmer hearts may here be found-fair-
err forms are stealing near us,-yet still the
thought will hover round the past, and we sigh

ded'cate all GU! room TO the important fror,
England Mr.. Canning's letter shuts the door against
further negotiation, and leaves hope of the reposses
sion OF the Colonial trade. To this pass have the in
trigues Of the friends of Gen. jackson in Congress-
already brought the interests of the country For the
purpose OF hampering and embarIa ssing the Admins
tration, they have cut of most valuable branch of
American trade. Their language on the floor of Con-
gress, has enboldened Great Britain TO aJopt line of
policy, in the hope Of sowing division among u.s. eorally
disadvanageous 10 her and TO US. Senex in the Nor
folk Herald, not satisfied with this consequence has
kindly furnished hints England for our further an
noyance. by the loss of the trade TO the East Indies
Should England ava her SELF of these and the United
States lose both the East and West India trade il will
he an transferable argument against the ability of
the Administration-to sacrifice which, the opposition
seem determined to GO all lengths TO the pros
ration Of the whole commercial interests of the United
States.
-9dninissrdtion .Neengs.--A Meeting of 1900 CT
tzens of Baltimore, has been held and the Admins
tration sustained in their proceedings. Another large
meeting has been held in Chester county, Pennsylva
nia in the address of which, the intrigues of the
"Combination,n are set forth with much point and
energy.
The Editor of The Telegraph says, that Judge Beverley
Tucker Of Missouri half brother of Mr. Randolph,
COL Benton among other things, because report says the
Colonel TO inherit MIR. Randoph fortune. Sits the wind
IN that quarter. We will give the Editor Telegraph
friendly hintif he really desires EIr. Randolph
queah his estate in the way designated, let Mr..
Randolph hear that such expectation is ndulged-
Whatever just of dislike may that een,e-
man. he has qualities which hold especial
verence-and among them is, thorough detes,ation
sycophants and post obs Should he much as suspect,
tat any waiting for his shoes-,hat his
and attentions were at all influenced by such motive
he would whistle him down the wind in the turning of
straw perbum sat sapent-let the hope if such hope
exist, be locked up until The will is opened. We marvel
the impudence and mprudence which have made i, known
the world.
