YOUTH AND OLD AGE,

81 place the friends of my YOUTH where
they aud echo auswered-where ley?"
When the summer day Of youth is slowly WASTING
away into the nght-fall of age, and the shadows of
past years grow deeper life wears to a close it is
pleasant to look back, through the vista of time upon
the sorrows and felicites of earlier years.
If we have home to shelter, and hearts to rejoice
within us and if friends gather together around our
fresides the rough places of way-faring will be
worn and soothed away in the twilight of life, whilst
the sunny spots they have passed through grow bright
er and more beautiful.
Happy indeed are those, whose intercourse with the
world has not changed the tone of their boiler feelings
nor broken those musical chords of the heart whose
vibrations so melodous, so tender and touching in
the evening of age. As the current of time winds
slowly away, washing along with the sands of life
and wasting the vgor of greener years, like the stream
that steals away the soil from the sapling upon its
bank, look with kind of melancholy at the decay
of things around us. To see the trees, under whose
shade sat in earlier years, and upon whose rnds we
carved our in the lght-hearted gaiety of boy
hood, as if those memorials of our existence would
long survive to these whitening away like our
selves with the nfmities of age, excites within us
mournful but pleasant feelings for the past and pro-
phetic ones for the future The thoughts occasioned
by the frai and pershing records of younger days,

OLD MAIDS.


The illberal sarcasms SO profusely poured upon a
deenceess portion of the female SEX call forth the
feeble efforts of pen willing to move in the
cause of the ladies. There are those who have been
ranked under the sneering title of Old Maids, whose
conduct and character are honor to their sex, and
who should be the very last persons to be held up
the public by the mirror of ridicue, or eered at by
unfeeng scoers either of their the other sex.
Who cannot number among those who surround
them, some valuable and esteemed friend, to whom
they indebted for many Of the comforts of exist
ence, and who, either from choice peculiar circun-
stances, leads a single life, and is cassed by the
thoghtess the severe, in the dcspscd company of
Old Maids? In reviewing thepages of memory, they az
ford me few Illustrations on the present subject, that
may not be irrelevant 10 this humble essay.
At the early age of four years, my parents placed
me at little day school conducted by two respectable
females, both unmarried and advanced considerably
beyond the limits of youth. They occupied couple
OF rooms, in their vocation, one for girls and the 9TH

elder lady that my ignorant mind first mbibed the
saving truths Of the Sacred Volume. In few months
by her ndeatgable and attention. she taught me

arose in my literary progress and the smile of appro-
baton that lighted up her pad features, when my
task was well repeated, made lasting impression on
my mind and when removed from her noisy little
mansion, to take my station at desk, under the i-
hsdlcton OF a master, my heart swelled with uncon-
uollablc emotion, and took leave of this excellent
woman with tears of real grief, and as | grew up,
made 1t my business to assist her in every possible
way and when, in course of time, she was called by

the storm is gone tnged by the farewell rays of the
setting sum-
In these recolectons of former times the past and
the present meet together We go back again into the
valley OF YOUTH gaze upon the vestges we left be-
hind us then, and tread in the footsteps we trod in
before. We remember the thoughtessness and hi
larty the summer and sunshine of boyhood the homes
and fears, the aspirations and reveries of youth and
we may remember, too that those whose hearts were
ghtest, and whose hopes the faires were soon
er than others summoned away to the desoate and
yoiceless halls of death.
Of those that were around us in the spring time of
life, and went hand in hand with us through the sum
mer journey of YOUTH all perhaps have parted from us
on the verge of manhood, each to pursue separate
path towards his destination. This parting may have
been the last time beheld them, from whom we ne
yer before parted We recollect the farewell pressure
of the hand and the melancholy voice whose tones we
now think had something prophetic in them that told
US we were never to meet again. They had gone to
distant cmes, had become strangers in strange lands

the tolls and troubles of life in the repose of the tomb
When we hear of the death of friends-when we
know that those who loved and were loved by u.s. have
gone before into the vale of DEATH and have fallen
asleep upon the bosom of the EARTH never to awaken
the thousand endearmens and tendernesses that had
wound unnoticed around hearts and strengthened
with the lapse of years. broken and whered away
though hardly without severng the chords of the heart
with them. We call to mind their genteness, their
forgivng kindness and benevoence towards us and
with these the recollections of our own PRIDE
revengeful thoughts, and the swelngs of our
hearts against them. But our repentance is too late
our tears unavailing; our sorrows unnoticed! The
fame of their being is quenched, the lamp of their
isence is gone out and they have passed away from
us, into the land of silence
There is something in that shrinks from the cold
heavy hand of DEATH Nature struggles the portals

MEssRs. EDTToRs-That mankind are
the same in all ages, is fact universally
admitted. The same passions, propensities,
and inclinations govern, direct, and incite
them to action now, that did three thousand
years ago. The same desires, wishes, and
hopes, too, predominant in their hearts. In
all ages, in all countries, and among all ma
tons, men are still the same selfish, wicked.
and sinful beings. 1t is true, they are more
or less polished in their manners and Gus
toms, in proportion as the arts and sciences
have been cultivated and generally difused
amongst them. But even in the most en-
lightened ages Of the world, and even where
the sun of science hath shed its brightest
lustre, and the arts have beamed forth their
most salutary effects, still men continue to
be deficient IN moral and religious duty, and
need continually to be admonished of what
they ought to do, and what they ought to
leave undone. Hence the necessity of mo-
raj and religious teachers, in all periods of
the world, and amongst all nations and peo-
pie under heaven.

eued with many prevalent vices, no one will

THE WISH.
BY LANES MERRIcK.

BY JAMES MERRICk.
How short is life's uncertain space!
Alas how quickly done!
How swift the wild precarious chase!
And yet how difficult the race!
How very hard to run
Youth stops at first its wilful ears
To wisdom's prudent voice;
Till now arrived at ripper years,
Experienced age, worn cut with cares,
Repents its earlier choice.
What though its prospects now appear,
So pleasing and refined;
Yet groundless hope, and anxious fear,
BY turns the busy moments share,
And prey upon the mind.
Since then false joys our fancy cheat
With hopes of real bliss;
Ye guardian powers that rule my fate,
The only wish that ! create
Is all comprised in this.
May I, through LIES uncertain tide,
Be still from pain exempt!
May all my wants be still supplied,
Ny state too low t. admit Of pride,
And yet above contempt.
But should your providence divine
A greater bliss intend;
May all those blessings you design,
tIfe'er those blessings shall be mine)
Be centered in friend
