THE LAPSE OF TIME.
Lament, who will, in frutless tears,
The speed with which our moments fly,
sigh not over vanished years
But watch the years that hasten by
Look, how they comc!-a mingled crowd
Of bright and dark, but rapid days;
Beneath theni like sumN.r cloud,
The wide world changes as gaze.
What! pricvc that time has brought SO soon
The sober age of manhood on
AS IDLY might weep al noon,
To see the blush of morning gone.
Co,,ld forcgo the hopes that glow,
IN prospect like Elysian isles;
And let the charming future 90
With all her promises and snilles
The future cruel were the power
Whose doom would tear thee from MP fcsts!
Thou sweetener Of the present hour;
We cannot-no, we will not part.
Oh, leave me still the rapid fight
That makes the changing seasons pny,
The grateful speed that brings the night,
The swift and glad return of day.
The months that touch and add with grace,
The little prattlcr at my knee
In whose arch eye and speaking face
New mcanng every hour see.
The wears that O or each sister land
Shall lift the country of my birth
And nurse her strength till she shall stand
The pride and pattern Of the earth
Till younger commemorative for a1d
Shall cling about her ample robe.
And from her frown shall shrink nfraid
The crowned opprcssors o. the globe.
True, time will seam and hlanch my brow,
F',it, shall sit with aged men,
And my good glass will tell me how
4 grisy beard becomes me then.
And should no foul dshonor lie
Upon my head when I am gray,
Love yet shall watch my fading eve,
And smooth the path Of my decay.
Then, haste thee, Time, It's Kindness al!
That speeds thy winged feet 50 fast
Thy pleasures stay uot uIl they PAIL
tnd all thy pains are quickly past.
Thou fliest and dearest away our woes,
Mud as thy shadowy train depart,
The memory Of sorrows grows
A lighter burden on The heart.

THE SKATER.

Let those who will in ten homes be still
Give me heicc bound stream,
And away 80 with the speed Of the roe,
Beneath the moons bright beam.
The stars DER head, and tbs ICY bed,
And the cold winds rushing by,
To me are dear as the summer air
Or the spring winds melody.
As the eagle scars through the storm that roars,
And curves a graceful ring,
Mid the whirlwind's crash and the lightning
flash.
With a sweeping, fearless wing.
Thus the skater feels az he onward wheels
With neither woe nor pain,
With the wind Of the north that drives him forth
Der the shining silvory plain.

CHAPTER III.
Chapter III.

The smooth trodden pathway along which
we now passed, led througha valley ofrich
alIuvial soil, covered with zane, and here
and there a noble oak or walnut reared its
broad summit.
Mr.. Jones with honest pride pointed out to
me the advantages of his loCation,-for we
were still on his lands,-ald if il be true,
as asserted by Jeremy Bentham, that prop
erty is nothing more than he basis of ex-
pectation; Jones certainly had right to
expect great deal from 50 broad basis,
his lands being several miles in extent.
There is grandeurin the forests of Mis-
sissippi, which creates sentiment of awe.
The pioneer who enters one of these forests,
feels as though he held the land in tenancy
direct from the Creator. He takes posses
sion with the axe in one hand and the Bible
in the other, and returns thanks to the
Great Proprietor Of the virgin soil. Here,
the foot of civilized man has never before
trodden, and he comes now, to brush away
the last moccoson track of the Choctaw. All
looks as fresh as if but yesterday might have
been the first day Of Creation! No monu-
ments of antiquity, no marks of mans raVa-
ges, nothing to connect the present with the
past; but there stands the giant oak upon a
soil where perhaps the suns rays have never
reached! Deep inteminable solitude! The
soul shudders at finding itself thus alone in
the presence of the Creator, and you are
ready TO bow down and worship; SO great is
the power of the immutability which sur
rounds you.
We pursued our way for some time in ST.
Hence, which was at length broken by my
companion.

shall draw my discourse, for this occa-
sion, from the following text
Oh, how uncertain and how briefs life,
And yet how full of sweetness.
NV hearers-the more reflect upon the
matter the more fully am convinced of the
evanesence and the nothingness of life
What is it but bubble floating down the
stream of time? Now it gIides over a pla.
cid surface-now it dashes to and fro amid
the rough breakess- and now it bursts uE
and disappears in the dark wave of eternity
What is ii but vapor, that creeps for a
while along earth's checkered vale, and
then rises to its native heaven? What is il
but an empty dream-an imaginary entity
as void and as vacant as the deserted shell
of hope? It is any thing that's fleeing, brit
tie or unsubstantial And what is MANI
| Nothing but mass of dirt scraped up from
the fallow, and destined to dance and skip,
for short time, under the influence of life's
exhilerating gas, then to be carried back up
on deaths sable cart, and emptied upon the
soil from whence it was gathered.
Oh, nv dear friends! when we look about
US and behold what multtudes are daily en-
tering the dark portal Of the tomb-and how
even the mourners themselves are hourly
casting off the black habiliments of sorrow,
and DOMINIC the white robes of the grave,
we cannot but be impressed with the sol.
emnchOlly idea that our turns must all soon
come to partake of the same cold supper
which means, as my Mend Shakespeare says,
not to eat, but TO be eaten. The worms Of
the clod will soon hold festival in the skull
that is now peopled with thriving genera
ton of ideas; and every heart, now beating
in the fullness of hope, must ere long forever
cease to throb. The thin easement that en-.
closes the immortal spirit Of man is as brittle
as glass; and gentle tap of disease, if il
do not entirely demolish it, may so shattel
it that the medicated putty in the universe
can't hold it together. The gossamer threads
that are woven in the web of mans mortal
existence are so fine in texture and so fee
BILE in strength that the slightest breeze 81
physical affection will sometimes snap then
asunder, and leave them dangling in the
dusky sepulchre, like so many superanuateC
cobwebs in the corners of amser's howell.
My friends-the uncertainty of life IS a:
certain as quarter-day. / have seen new
born babes imbibe the poison, of death viii

stoned, tends TO bring about what it pur-
ports TO be designed to prevent. But what
] intended TO say was, to warn you Of the
danger Of travelling at this time, a stranger,
on foot, and alone; when every road and
bye-way is guarded, and every one who pas
Ises, is challengedto give an account Ofhim-
self
Jones concluded by inviting me to remain
with him until it was safe to travel, or at
least, until Icould escape the annoyance Of
being suspected and examined at every cross
road.-Strangely enough, / declined this in
vitation; had it been made without the pre-
face, which pointed out The danger Of pro-
ceeding on my route, there is no doubt |
should have accepted bis hospitality, Tor
was sadly 10 want Of rest. There was a
thought which pursued me eternally, and
seemed TO impel me onward. The very
idea Of being compelled to remain stationa-
ny, walked this feeling, and the desire to
leave as far behind me as possible, the spot
which | had left few days previous, grew
upon me so strongly, and SO suddenly, that
| found myself striding rapidly away, alb
sorbed with this one sentiment, until recall
led by my companion, whom ] had left sew
eral PAGES in the rear.
&c., said Jones, you are determined to
go. Then let me tell you, if you get into
any trouble, send TO me and / will interfere,
and see that you are not lyHched as an in
sunectiouist.'
This last remark, though uttered in a jest
ing manner, conld plainly perceive was IN
tended TO be taken for something more than
a Jest.
