CHILDHOOD.

IT has long been q secret but favoritc enjoyment
with us, to brood over the dreams, the tancies
and the errors of our early years. We smile
when we recall the ludicrous mistakes, the com.
ical misunderstanding, the exaggerated concep-
tons, the overwhelming mysteries, Of those by
gone days. Oh! the trust and simplicity Of that
spring-time, when we sat upon the stone steps
of our fathers dwelling, pinch Of salt (not Attic
salN between our digits, waiting with unexampled
patience and unWaverng hope, for the pigeons
10 come within reach of our lure But turn we
from delusive hope, to actual fear. Childhood
suffers more from fear than grown children le-
alize. That which is awful and mysterious TO
children, is, to the older, plain as holy writ. They
forget that little things are great TO little mon.
They have so long seen all things through the
medium of common sense and actual experience
that they forget the visions which lively ina
gnaton conjures up to torment and ai1right-
Witness the breathless haste with which our gar
ments are DOTTED at even; the frghtful visions
which were sure to greet our eyes, did we a.
wake in the watches Of the night. The dark was
then a creature; we should have said, as Cole
ridge hath it
AT one stride comes th3 dark
On, the conscience of our early years it might

resolution, with which we turned our unwilling
steps from a passage-way which contained
store-room-1rom q storc-room which contained
certain tempting Jumps which spread their spark
ling white cubes, glttering like Jewels to our en-
raptured view-saying, with proud resolve, Gel
thee behind me, Satan" BY chance we were o.
verheard; our saying was remembered, and off,
repeated, among the few wonderful sayings of
our early years; it has descended, an heirloom
TO younger brothers and sisers-a monument of
our self-denial.
The imagination of orr early years! We had
no opportunity, when very young, of hearing rnu-
SIC, we had no natural understanding of it; it
was to US pleasant mystery. We recollect the
first time we heard piano we imagined spirits
were dancing within the body of the instrument
we could see them in our minds eve, capcrino
and frsking about as the sweet sounds fell mon
our minds ear, thrilling Our soul with delight IN
speakable.
Our reveries at church!-We believe children
indulge more in reverie at church than elsewhere
the quiet is so favorabe-the sermons, and
sometimes the prayers, are so completely unintel-
lgible There we dreamed-(oh wicked wightsD
