Remembrance.

Oft at the hour when evening throws
It's gathering shades DER vale and hill,
While half the scene in twilight glows,
And half in sunlight glories still;
The thought of all that we have been,
And hoped and feared on Gfe's long way,
Remembrance of joy and pain,
Come mingling with the close of day.
The distant scene of youths bright dream,
The smiling green, the lustcfing tree;
The murmur of the grass fringed stream,
The bounding of the torrent free;
The friend, whose tender voice no more
Shall sweetly thrill the listening ear;
The glow that loves first vision wore,
And disapL ointment's pangs are here.
But soft DER each reyiving scene
The Christening hues of memory spread;
And smiling each dark thought between,
Hope softens every tear we shed.
o, thus, when deaths long night comes on,
And its dark shades around me lie,
May parting beams from memory's sun
Blend softly in my evening sky.
There is voice within me,
And tits so sweet a voice,
That its soft lispings win me,
Till tears start in my eyes;
Deep from my soul it springeth,
Like hidden melody;
And evermore it singeth
This song of songs to me:
s' This world is full of beauty,
As other worlds above;
And if we did our duty,
1t might be full of love!''

Jenny LIMBS First Concert.

JENNY LIMBS first Concert on this side the Allan

Wednesday, the 18th inst About six thousand per-
sons present. and the net profits of the Concert
considerably exceeded twenty thousand dollars, the
half Of which Miss LIND was to receive as her share
It is announced that she has given the ten thousand
dollars to WHICH she is entitled to be divided among
the charitable institutions of the city of New York
The papers of that city speak of her performance in
terms which appear to us little short of insanity

the heads of all the "potent, grave and reverend

greet, with full heart, the Land of the West,
Whose Banner of Stars over the world is unrolled
Whose empire o'erShadOws Atantic's wide breast,
And Opes to the sunset its gateway of gold
The land of the mountain, the land of the lake,
And rivers that roll in magnificent tide
Where the souls of the mighty from sumber awake
Thou Cradle of Empire though wide be the foam
That the land of my fathers and thee,
hear, from thy bosom, the welcome of home,
For Song has home in the hearts ofth Free!
And long as thy waters shall CLEAN in the sum-
And long thy heroes remember their scars,
Be the hands of thy children united one,
And Peace shed her light on the Banner of Stars!
There were three verses, but the first has been
omitted. The superiority of the last gven is
evident. The which precedes it, is numbering
in versifcation, and little if anything above the
al grandiloquent nonsense of Fourth of July Odes
AS whole, the song is fiat and commonplace.

A PARADOX AND ITS SoLUTIoN-AN INTERESTING
ASTRONOMICAL FAcT.-TwO persons were born at the
age of fifty years, they both died, also at the
spot, and at the instant yet one had lived one
hundred days more than the other. How was this
possible Not to keep our friends in suspense the
solution turns a curious but with little refec-
ton, very obvious point in circumnavgation. A
person going round the world towards the west loses
day, and towards the east he gains one. Suppo-
sing, them two persons born together at the Cape Of
Good Hope, whence voyage round the world may
be performed in year; if one performs this con
stanty towards the west, in fifty years he will be fiji
ty days behind the stationary inhabitants and if thu
other sail equally towards the east he will be fifty
days in Advance of them. One, therefore, will hav
seen one hundred days more than the other thoug
they were born and died in the same place, at tn
same moment, and even lived continually in the sam
latitudes, and reckoned by the same calendar.

A Bit of Romance.


The New York Morning Star has the following
bit of local romance:
q In the H packet ship, from -, came out
the other day, say two weeks ago, very beautiful
woman about thirty years old, having fine curly
headed boy about five years of age with her, and
being accompanied by young mustached man, of
elegant dress and easy who appeared to be
of some tender relationship to the beautiful and in
teresting stranger They stopped three or four days
at the Astor House, from which they removed to an
exquisite villa in Hoboken. This most luxu-
riOusly furnished, and money seemed no impeachment
to the qualification of the cultivated tastes of the
parties. They strolled of evenings along the banks
of the noble Hudson, and deeply impassioned dia-
logues were the accustomed accompaniment of their
recreation
On board the Canada, during her fine and rapid
and noble proportions. He was eminently aristo
cratic in look and bearing He spoke but little du-
ring the passage. Something pressed very heavily
at his heart, and he could not enjoy the voyage OF
society of any kind He stopped at the Astor, made
inquiries after certain lady, child and gentleman
tracked them to Hoboken and discovered his OWL
brother the seducer of his beautiful wife, and the
destroyer of his peace forever He returned to Eu
rope with his darling boy, leaving the guilty pair t
pursue their course of sin and shame best the.
might These parties may be seen daily in the Ely
sian Fields, seeking to drown remorse in the enjoy
ment (!) of each others society The cries of tn
lady after her adOred child sometimes extremely
frantic. She wishes she had never been born"

To You've MEN.-DOnt rely upon friends. Don't
rely upon the good name of your ancestors. Thou
sands have spent the prime of life in the vain hopes
Of those whom they called friends; and thousands
have starved because they had rich father. Rely
upon the good name which is made by your own ex-
ertions and know that better than the best friend
you have is unquestionabe determination, united
with decision of character And remember that
without Gods blessings you cannot truly prosper
In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and he will direct
thy paths.
