The Iournex ofn Dnx.

How truly does the journey of single
day, its changes and its hours, exhibit the
history of human life We rise up in the
glorious freshness of 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 beat
ing 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 COM
mence our journey. Step by step, the
scene becomes more lonely, hour by hour
our hopes become brighter. A few Of
our companions have dropped away. left
suddenly we enter upon new country.
The dews of the morning are dried up by
the fervor of the MONDAY sun; the friends
that stand with us are Disappearing. Some
remain, but their looks are cold and es-
tranged; others have become weary, and
have laid down to their rest; but new
hopes beckon us on. The scene is more
glorious and brilliant, but the beauty and
freshness of morning have faded, and for
ever. But still our steps fail not, our
spirits droop not. Onward and onward
we 90; the horizon of happiness and fame
recedcs rs we advance to il; the shadows
begin to Tighten, and the chilly air Of even
ing is usurping the fervor OF the noon
day. Sill we pass onward; the goal is
not vet won, the haven is not vet reached.
The bright orb of hope-which had cheer
ed us on, is sinking in the West; our
limbs begin to grow faint, our hearts to
grow sad; we turn 10 gaze upon the
scenes that we have passed but the shad-
ows of twilight have interspersed their
veil between u.s. we look around for the
old and familiar faces, the companions Of
our travel, but we gaze in vain TO find
them; we have ouistripped them in our
race after pleasure. and the phantom yet
uncaught, in a land of strangers. in ster-
lie and inhospitable country, the night
time of death, and weary 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 dis
tant aud unknown tomorrow.

NIARY's CONsTANCY.

The moons bright beams lit up the grove,
As it 'twcrc touched by wand or fairy
There, in a bower, sat my love,
The bright-cycd, sweet, and gentle Mary.
Forth on the wings of love, flew,
TO this our chosen place of greeting,
To hid her now short adeu,
And sad and fearful was our meeting.
''From thee, my love, and these dear scenes,
For two years hence, must be taken,
But when that long space intervenes,
will return with love unshaken--
And Mary, will youn faith he kept
VIII absence our affections scvcr!"
She leaned upon my breast and wcpt,
And gently whispered "Never, never
Two years elapsed. with heart elatc,
q caught my Mary's fathers dwelling,
And there upon the porch she safe
Cease. bosom. cease thy joyous swelling
I grasped her offered hand. and said
GLOW does my dear and pretty Mary!
Ten thousand blessings on the head
or her whose love can never vary!
I'll make thee dearest, all my own;
The tears which we have long been shedding
No more shall f1ow-say, pretty one.
Say, WHEN shall be our happy wedding =
With laughing eye upturncd, and lip
That cured with deep and roguish meaning.
She from my prollereG arms did skip,
Thon, on her thumb her chin a leaning,
She spoke--"So you've returned, my friend!
How glad am there is no telling
And now | hope sometimes you'll wend
Your steps towards yon happy dwelling
live there now--so come and Sec
We're happy, neat, and snug as MAY be-
Ny HUSBAND will he home to tea,
And you shall see-my LITTLE BABY!

With multitudes round us all starving or near IT,
A good rich millennium will come apropos
Only think, Master Fred. what delight to behold,
Instead of thy bankrupt old City OF Rags

Sound bullion throughout from the roof to the flags;
city, where wine and cheap shall abound

We may swear the best things in this world NAV be

As your saints seldom fail to take of themselves.
Thanks, reverend expounder OF rsptures elysian
Divine Squintifobus, who placed within reach
Oftwo opposite worlds, by twist of your vision
Can cast, at the same time, sly look at each
Thanks, thanks for the hope thou hast gwen u.s. that
May, even in own times, jubilee share,
Which SO long has been promised by prophets thee
And 30 often has failed we began to despair

For the man who must bring the Millennium about
There's Faber, whose pious predictions have been
All belied, ere his books first edition out
There was Councillor Dobbs, too, an Irish M. p,
Who discoursed on the subject with signal ecIaf
And each day of his life sat expecting to see
millennium break out in the town Of Armagh.
There was also--but why should burden my Law
With your Brotherses, Southcoes, and less de-
serving,
When all past Mienniums henceiorth must give wa
