"MucH YET REMAINS ussuso."
Ally BiRTH-naY.-By MOORE.

My BiRTH-HaY.-By MOORE.
Nv birth day! what different sound,
That word had i'm my youthful years,
And now, each time the day comes round,
Less and less white it, mark appears!
When first o,,r scahty years are toid,
II seems like pastime 10 grow OLD:
And, as youth counts the shining INKS
That time around him binds so fast,
Pleased with the task, he little thihks
How hard that chain will press at last
Vain was the man, and false rs VAN,
Who said sswere he ordained to run
His long career Of life again,
He would do all that he had dome
All, ,tis rut thus the voice that dWels
In sober birthdays speaks TO me;
Far otherwisc-Gf time II tells
Lay!shed unwSely, careieSsiy-
OF connseiS mock'd-of unlcnts, made
Haply Tor high and pure designs,
Eut on like Israel's incense laid
Upon unlicly earthly shrines-
OF nursing many n wrong desire
OF wandering after love TOO far,
And taking every meteor fire
That crossed my pathway for his star.
AL this il tells, and could trace
The imperfect picture DER again,
With power to add, retuuch, cflace
The lights and shades, the JOY aud pain,
How little of the past would stay!
How quickly all would melt away,
AIl-but that freedom Of the mind
winch hath been more than wealth to me;
Those friendships on my boyhood twined,
And kept 'till now unchan.ingly;
And that dear home, that saving ara,
Where loves true light at last I've found,
Cheerin. within, when all grows dark
And comiortlcSs, and stOrnly round.

estates had been sold III some instances,
for one seventh Of the original cost.
"Perhaps," says the Cornwall Chronicle
