YoUTH LOVE AND AGE.-A young mans
ambition is but vanity; il has no definite
aim; il plays with q thousand toys. AS with
one passion, so with the rest In youth, love
| is ever on The wing. but, like the birds in
April, il hath not built is rest. With so long
a career OF summer and hope before il, the
Idisappointment ofto-day is succeeded by the
novelty of to- morrow and he sun that advsn.
ces to the noon but dries up its fers ent tears.
But when We have arrived al that epoch Of
life when, if the light fail US, ii the last
rose wilher, we feel that the loss cannot be
retrieved, and that the frost and The darkness
are at hand, love becomes to US a treasure
that we watch over and hoard with a miser's
care. Our youngest-born affection is our dar-
ling and our idol, the fondest pledge of the
past, the most cherished of our hopes for the
future. A CERTAIN melancholy that mingles
with eur JOY at the possession only enhan-
ces its charm. We feel ourselves SO Deepen
dent on il for all that is yet to come. Our
ether banks, our gay galleys of pleasure, our
stately argesies of pride, have been swallow
ledup by the remorseless wave. On this last
vessel we freight our all. ia lis frail tenement
we commit ourselves. The star that guides
