Our EARLY CoMPANIoNs.-How few OF the
companions Ofour youth do we find acconpa-
pying US in the after days oflifc's journey. OF
those who seemed so liked with our first lows
and sorrows as to have to become almost part
of our own existence, some rise above, and
some sink below the course We are pursuing,
and ii seen, are scarcely noticed. Others try
the desperate adventure of distant climates, and
bankrupt and are never again heard of With
some, folly does the work of time; and few,
perhaps, are recognized amongs those who
signslize themselves in the feverish strife of
politics, or are commemorated as having fallen
IN some brilliant achievement. We divtrge
like lines drawn from the Same point, pursu
ing similar directions, but seldom re-uniting
Our permanent connections are generally for
med at later period, yet the heart stills feels
something wanting, and, as we look round in
vain, the happiness of our first affections is
magnifed by being seen through the purer at
mosphere which the morning OF earliest inno-
cence has cast around them. This may be
commonplace, but our feelings are all so; Il is
only in their intenseness of direction that we
differ

Away from her turf may tho cruel words wander
That clothed her young spirit in darkness aud fears:

Above the meek bosom that blessed Us OF yore;

To nestle its Lnion-but glad US no mofs!
