BRYANT, in one Of his letters from Glas.
gov, mentions fact which is perhaps cha.
ractcrist'c Of the clear, rig it-thinking Scotch
mind. He slys the people ofGlasgow have
shown thci' good sense in erecting the stat
ucs which adorn their public squares, only
to men who have some just claim to dstiuc-
lion. Here arc no statues, for example, of the
prolligate Charles H. Or the worthless Duke
Of York, or the silly Duke Of Cambridge, as
you will see in other cities, but the marble
etiigy of Walter Scott looks from a lofty CO.
lumn in The principal square, and not far
from it is the statue Of Watt; while the stat
uas erected to military men are TO those who,
like Wellington, have acquired just renown
in arms. Monuments to those who have
contributed by their good works to the bene-
fit Of humanity are as positive proof of tho
good sense of those who erect them as they
are momentocs of the greatness of those
whom they arc intended to commemorate.

" Those who labor in the earth,' he early

We ARE GROWING OLD.

We are growing old--how the thought will rise,
When a glance is backward cast
On some long remembered spot that lies
In the silence Of the past;
1t may be the shrine Of our early vows,
Or the tomb of early tears:
But it seems like far off isle to US,
In the stormy sea OF years.
Oh wide and wild are the waves that part
Our steps from greenness now,
And we miss the Joy Of many heart,
And the light of MANY brow;
For deep DER many a stately bark
Have the whelming pillows rolled,
That steered with us from that early mark
Oh, friends, we are growing old.
Old in the dimmnrss and the dust
OF our early tolls and cares.
Old in the wrecks of love AMI trust
Which our burdened memory bears,
Each form may wear to the passing gaze
The bloom of life's freshness yet,
And beams may brighten our latter days
Which the morning never met.
But oh, the changes we have seen
In the far and winding wav;
The graves in our path which have grown green
And the locks that have grown gray!
The winters still on onr own may spare,
The sable or the gold;
But we saw their SHOWS upon bright hair
And, friends are growing old.
We have gained the worlds cod wisdom now.
We have learned to pause and fear;
But where are ,he living f,unts whose flow
Was Joy of heart to hear?
We have won the wealth of mlny cline,
And the lore of many page;
But where is the hope that saw in time
But its houndless heritage?
Will it come again when the violet wakes,
And the woods their youth renew!
We have stood in the light of sunny brakes,
Where the bloom is deep and buo;
And our soul might Joy in he spring time, then
But the Joy was faint and cold;
For it ne'er could give us the youth again
Of fhearts that are growing old.

writer ofhe following is ofa different opinion.
"Nevcr shrink from womln OF strong

will be from seeing and valuing similar quail
tiles in yourself. You my trust her, for she
knows the value of your confidence; you
my consult her, for she is able to advise /;

to encounter superior person, or from the
poor vanity Of preierring that admiration
which springs from ignorance, to that which
arises from appreciation.
