the following complaint it makes against the Wing

meanly shifted The responsible iiy of the Bank Re

Is not here the precious confession that al the

political effect; and that when they came 10
have their professions rut 10 the test, by having

Bank Reform so absurd was the project they
exh biled that it Disguised the people with the
whole party? Surely The Wings were "mean
hus to give them jack knife to cut their throts
with.
BY the bye, we have often heard our Locos say,
in The streets, when attempting To accout for The
results OF the late election, that it was Van Ness
assisted 10y clever young lawyer in our village,
who concoced the sy stem Of Reform Banking a.
doped by the famous bank committee of last y ear,

jealous of each other, aud fearful that some one

Should His be done, the other powers would re-

THE HISTORY OF HUMAN LIFE.
BIZ RoRERr NJ CHARLTON.

How truly does the journey ola single
day, its changes and its hours, exhibit the
history o fhuman life! We rise up in gIori-
Gus freshness of a spring morning. The
dews of night, those sweet tears of nature,
are hanging from each bough and Leaf, and
rejecting the bright and myriad hues of the
morning. Our hearts are beating with hope,
our frames buoyant with health. We see
no cloud, We hear no storm; and with our
chosen and beloved companions clustering
around US, we commence our journey. Step
by step, the scenes become more lovely,
hour by hour our hopes become brighter. A
few OF our companions have dropped away,
left-suddenlv we have entered upon a new,
country. The dews Of the morning are
exhaled by the fervor Of the MONDAY; the
friends that stand with US are disappearing.
Some remain, but their looks are cold anG
estrayed; others have become weary, and
have laid down to their rest; but new hopes
beckon us.-The scene is glorious and bril-
liant, but the beauty and freshness Of nor
ming have faded, and forever. But still our
steps fail not, our spirits droop not. Onward
ness and fame recedes as we advance to it (;
the shadows tegin to leDgthen, and the chill
ly airs of evening are usurping the fervor Of
MONDAY. Still we press onward /; the goal
is not yet won the haven not yet reached.
The bright orb of hope that had cheered US
on is sinking in the West; our limbs begin to
groWfaint, our hearts to grow sad ; we turn
to gaze upon the scenes that we passed but
the shadows of twilight have i~nterposed their
veil between us: we look around for the old
and familiar faces the companions of our
travel, but we gaze in vain to find them :;
we have out-stripped them all, in our race az
ter pleasure. and the phantom yet uncaught
in a sterile and hospitable country, the night
time of death, and heavy laden, we lie down
to rest in the bed of the grave! Happy, thrice
happy, is he who hath laid up treasures for
himself for the distant and unknown to.mor-
row.
