PAST MEMORIES. BY JOHN G. walrrrrR

ASST MEMORIES. BY JOHN G. WHlTTIER.
How thrills once more the lengthening chain,
OF mem'ry at the thought Of thee
Old hopes which long IN dust have lam.
Old dreams come thr0naln back again,
And boyhood lives in ~;
feel its glow upon my cMeek.
It's fnilness of the heart is mine,
As when leaned to hear thee speak,
Ofraised my doubtfNeyes TO tmhe.
hear again thy low replies.
l feel thine arm within my OWL
THE fri,ged lids of hazel eyes,,
With soft brown tresses overblown,
And memories of sweet summer ewes.
Of mOODfit wave and will0wy way.
Of stars and flowers, and dewy leaves,
And smiles and tears more dear than they.
Ere this, thy quiet eye hath smiled,
My picture of thy youth to see,.
When half woman, half a child.
Thy very altessDess begu,led,
eAud Folly sell seemed wise IN thee;
Itoo can smile, iohen Ger that hour
The fights Of memory backward stream.
Yet feel the phite that manhood's pOwer
Is palmer than my boyhood'S dream.
Years have passed on. and left their trace.
OF graver care and deeper thought.
And unto me The calm cold face
OF Manhood, and to thee the grace
OF Woman pensive beauty brought:
On LIES rough blast, for blame and P,ase,
The school boys name has widely 1own'
Thine, in the green and quiet ways
OF un0btrusive goodness known.
And wider yet, in thought and deed.
Our still diverging paths incline;
Thine, the f5eneyan s steTnest creed.
While answers to my spirits need
The Yorkshire peasants simple line;
For thee. the presty rite and prayer,
And holy day and solemn psalm;
For me- the silent reverence, where
My brethren gather, slow and calm.
Yet hath that spirit left on me
An impress Time has worn not out,
And something Of myself in thee,
A shadow OF the past | see
Lingering e'en thy way about;
No. wholly can the heart ualearn
Tha, lesson OF It's better hours,
Nor yet has Times dull footsteps worn
To common dust that path Of flowers.

EXTRAORDINARY DEFoRMITY.-The third
No. of the Report of Extraordinary Sur.
gical Cases contains an engraving, which
represents singular case of deformity in
a young woman living in Ashville, North
Carolina. She was born completely des-
titute both of arms and legs, the situation
of which is merely indicated by small
rounded projections, thus being, in fact,
a mere human trunk surmounted by a
head. She possesses, however, remark
able power of locomotion, and can trans
port herself over the floor with ease, by
submitting her body to a kind of rotary
motion alternately from right to left, and
the contrary BY confning the handle
of broom between her chm and shoul-
der, she can sweep the floor with consid-
erable dexterity. She can also sit erect,
lean back, or rock herself in chair as
well as any other person and when any
thing is given her, she makes sign for it
to be placed upon her shoulder. If it be
any solid article of food, she eats it from
that situation. She is of full plump
habit. healthy, and possesses remarka-
bly, lively disposition.
