One of the many things which have to regret. says a correspondent of the British BannsI when
 review my past life is. that did moi from ariiesl youth. at feast soou as was able to do |, take aud preserve some good newspaper. How iiteres ling would 1t be now 10 a sexsgenarian t0 iod in, o ths papers which he read when he was twdye or sixteen or twenty years old. How many events would this call to mind which ho had entirei, for goi,enl How many interesting sssocistioni and feelings would it revive, What view wOlld t give o' past years. What knowledge would | pre- serve by assisliag the memory: And how many valuable purposes of even literary kind, night it be rendered sa hseTyent to.
 How much do wish that could look inis sue h record when composing this short article. But newspapers are quite different things now from what they were sixty even twenty yesn ago. They are anspeaka ably more interesting and yalua- bio. in this respect at least. q believe in many others.l These times are better than former-- Formerly the editors of newspapers were obliged to strain their wits and exhaust their means fn order 10 obaia matter to fill their pages. Now the great difficulty is 10 iusert all the valuable, interesting materials that are poured upon them from every part Of ihe world, aud from every grade aud phase Of society Now, newspapers coaiain many of lhs best thoughts of the most highly gifted the most numerous subjects. and their reports of the current events among the most reliable and will furnish an lneHhsuslibIe fund Of entertainment to the end oi life.

The following gem from Alaric Waits ruos in a most dellghiiu sneassre, and gives a very echo al the seat where love is thToned."
 Forever thiae, whate'eF this heart be,ide,
 Forever mine, whefe'eT our tot be cast: Fate that may rob us of sli wealth beside, Shall leave us love, tili life itself be past. The world may wrong us--we will brave its hate;
 False friends may ehlnge aad faIsef hopes decline Though bowed by cankering care we'll smile al fate
 Since thou aTt mine, beloved, and an thine. Forever ihine when eirciiBg years have spread
 Times snowy blossoms o'ef tby placed brow; When yoaih's rich glow is purple light is fled,
 And lilies bloom where roses fourish now Sey shall love the faaing beauty less.
 Whose spring tide radiance has been wholly mine; No! come what will. thy stesdfast truth Iii bsess
 in youth. n age, thine own, forever thlae. Forever thiney al evenings dewy hour,
 When gentle hearts to tendeTesi thoaS Shts iacine. Waen balmiest oiors from each closing loaer
 Are breathing round rne--fhiEs, forever thine. Forever thine: mid fashions heartiess lhrong,
 In coprtiy bower-at f,liy's gilded shrine Smiles on my cheek. light words upon my tongue.
 My ceep hean still is ihine-forever thine.

I'remember. remember, the hour when first we
 met, That moment frsught with happiness, I never can
 forget. Twas twilight, gentle twilight. the birds had gone
 to rest. The garden sun enwrap in clouds, lay hidden in the
 west, The gIiussing stars began to gleam upon the brow
 ol night, The streams ike liquid silver, shone beneath the
 moons pale light, The luscious breath of many flowers in sweetest
 perfume met, That eye so brght and beautiful, never can forget; remember, 1 remember, the pleasant walk we
 took, On the flower bespanged borders of the merry bab-
 bling brook, Where often since we've stood meath the moon $ inspiring light, And hoped fates might be as it's pure waters
 brght
 remember witha hear, thrill the first fond look of
 thine, cen can see it now thine eyes gaze into mine, And though thy voice has changed, il is music still

 love from thee. remember. remember, how fondIy I was thine, hen spoke the VOWS that boa nd Us before God $
 holy shrine. Though years have passed away since those solemn
 words were spoken, Through sorrows and through trials, they never
 have been broken; Though silver threads are mingled with the raven
 of thy hair; And thy brow once smooth and glossy. is uo
