attend the complete accomplishment OF design that
appears to us happy and laudabe. Still they are
difficulties of comparatively unimporsnt nature, and

| THE LITERARY CHARAcTER. We think that we per-
very positive indications that the literary charac-
| ter will be more highly estimated in commercial
city than il has hitherto been. The and dis
tesses of the past years have caused many
fleet that there is something worth living for besides
the simple accumulation Of property. The Of a
million will scarcely be regarded with more avorng
envous eye than the possessor Of fine talents and
hard earned erudon when the reflection forced upon
our minds that the riches of the former are, ny
fatuty made sensbly TO diminish or melt away al
together while the wealth Of the latter abides
ly and securely with him until death Nothing but the
rare deprivation Of rob the literary Of
that capital which he has slowed away in the chambers
of the brain while the millionaire witness in a
single year the Of those possessions for whose
attainment he has " filed his mind"
All this may be called common place but, when
considered relating to proper estimation OF the Iitc-
rary character such observations are not without their
value The time seems not to be far off when tera-
will become distinct profession IN this country,
and when any who is engaged in its cnnobing
pursuits, will be regarded lahorer no less worthy

fair share of ability command respectable lvell

il that the respect of the world does not follow readily

easily answered II has not afforded in our country ary

last two years diminished respect for money, and
consequently increased regard for better and oter
objects.
We do not mean to detract from the credit which is
due to the useful arts From the days Of Lorenzo de

THE sERENADE.

Once in those forgotten hours,
When life was fresh, and fair, and new
And all us buds, and all It's flowers,
Hung dropping with The early dew
Before one feeling felt blight,
Or any rose of thought could fade
My love came one starry night,
And woke me with serenade.
The music DER my senses stole,
And sweetly mingled with my dream,
Transported my imprisoned soul
To bliss on lis melodious stream.
never shall forget the song,
Or the sweet tune the dear one played,
As the sofl night-wind bore alorg
The verses Of that serenade.
He sung Of love, of constant love,
OF his devotion, pure and deep;
And called the brightest star above
To sentinel my happy sleep.
At first listened donbtingly,
My heart WIS Of its Joy afraid
Till through the gloom saw twas he,
Who sung to me that serenade.
Long years have vanished since heard
His son .ad Time has sadly fown;
Yet ha reasured every word,
And poaIdered every melting tone
or thai dear voice. He wandered far,
And 10 distant region strayed, ~
Where guided BY some lovlier star,
Perchance he sung that serenade.
!. The bloom has faded on my cheek,
NY life, alas, has lost its smile,
With other songs vainly seek,
Ny spirits sadness TO beguile,
For how can be happy more,
Thus in my fondest hopes betrayed
Can any charms In life restore
That sweet and simple serenade2
When midnight from her ebon throne,
Filings over earth brilliant veil,
That pure, and deep, and thrilling tone
Floats family on the gentle gale,
And sometimes when the morn is near,
And sometimes through the evening shad'
Too faithful memory bids me hear
The music Of his serenade.

Raise the Temperance banner high,
Let your breasts with ardor glow;
To the crystal fountain fly,
Where the sparkling waters flow.
Dash the tankard TO the earth,
Drink OF ruby wine,
And round the drunkards cherries hearth,
Peace and comfort soon shall shine.
Come, ye drunkards, ye shall find,
Happiness for you in store;
Come, We OF every land and kind,
Come TO US and drink more
Then hail bright Temperance, heavenly queen,
On us thy blessings pour;
On thee shall totlerng drunkards lean,
And vow drink no more
