From the New-Ycrker.
Growing Old.

BY THE PRIVATE SCHOLAR.
Older, older, older growing
Never-ceasing--o flowing
To the mist where wrecks are strewing
Life's great sea:
Where the sun is dimly beaming;
Where Earths visions lose their seeming;
Where the dream of Youth that followed,
By the murky tide is swallowed
Mournfully.
On this dark and sluggish ocean.
Dead, yet trembling with emotion,
Dies the din OF Life's commotion
Evermore.
Not sound moves through the gloomiAg,
Where dim shadows vast are looming,
Save anon some fraii bark's hustle,
AS the waves, with fantest rustic,
Close it DER.
Here fond Youth, with heart desparing,
Sees unearthly spectres staring,
From the hollow eye-pits glaring
Desolate;
And to fears his thoughts awaken,
And his spirit goes forsaken,
AS he feels the power that ever
Bears him on the unyieldng river,
To his fate.
Bright and gay the rill goes leaping,
Through tile sunny meadows creeping,
Where the nodding flowers ale peeping
Ger its breast:
Onward--ever onward flowing;
Calmer, deeper, wider growing,
Till the river bears the bilow
Sweeping by the mourning willow,
Neer at rest.
All the hopes, the joys, fruition,
OF fond Man, his strength, ambition,
Are but as the vapory vision,
Known awhile;
Then TO unknown cares are hurried,
In the misty Ocean buried
Thus ends all his hopeful dreaming,
Which to him is given, seeming
To beguile-
We are daily growing older,
Weaker, saeder, paler, colder;
Soon these perfect limbs will moulder
Meath the soil.
Chilly thoughts will gather DER US,
Viewing our cold form before US,
So unlike it, once So sprightly!
Let it rest; It's, though unsightly,
Freed from toll.
Oh why should it ever grieve US
That the grave will soon receive US
Will it not for aye relieve US
From our foes2
If the Poor we've neer forsaken
And to Truth men cid awaken;
Like the weary bark at even,
We shall find quiet haven,
Of repose.

the offence was committed in Pennsylvania,
