THE SPRING OF LIFE Is PAST.

THE SPRING OF LIFE Is PAST.
The spring time Of life is past,
With its budding hopes and fears,
And the Autumn time is coming
With its weight Of future years;
Ourhesrts are di,nmed with care,
And Youths free dreams Of gladness
!, All perish darkly here,
For earth is filled with sadness.
While bliss was blooming near us,
In the hearts frsiS.oom cf Spring,
While many hopes could cheer US,
Life seemed Il glorious thing;
Like foam upon the river,
When the breeze goes ripping Ger,
These hopes have fled forever,
To come to us Ito more.
'Tis sad, yst sweet to listen
10 the soft winds gentle swell,
Mud think We heard the music
Our Childhood loved 80 well;
gaze out on the even,
And the boundlcss fields Of air,
And We feel again our boyisl wish
To roam, like anse.s, there.
There are many dreams Of gadncss
That cling around the past,
And from that tomb OF feeling
Old thoughts come threngiug fist;
The forms We loved so dearly,
In the happy days now gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
SO fair 10 look upon.
Those bright and gentle maidcns,
Who seemed so formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly,
For such world us this;
Whose soft, dark eyes scelu swimming
In sea Of liquid light.
And whose locks OF gold were streaming
O'cr brows 50 sunny bright.
Whose smiles We're like the sunshine,
In the spring-timc Of the Year,
Like the ohangcful g!cams Of April,
They followed every tear;
: They have passed, like hope, away,
All their loyclincss has fled
Oh! many a heart is mourning
That they are with the dead.
Ike the brightest buds Of Summer,
Tliey have fallen from the stem, {, p.
sY's, ph it:sa lovely death ez=i
: To fade from earth like thcm:-
And yet the thought is ssddcning
To muse on such rs they,
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing fast away.
That the fair ones whom We love,
Like the trndrs of :; vine,
Grow closely to each loving heart,
Then perisl, on its shrine.
And we can but think Of tll"sc,
In the soft aud gentle Spring,
When the trees are waving Ger us.
And flowers are bloss"lning
For we know the Winters coming.
With l,is cold and stormy SKY,
And the glorious beauty around US
Is budding but to die

AHEcDoTE OF DR.. YoUNG.-As the Dr..
was one day walking in his garden at Mel.
win, in company with two ladies, one OF
whom he afterwards married, servant
came to tell him that a gentleman wished to
speak with him. "Tell him." said the DR..
7" that am too happily employed to change
my situation" The ladies insisted that he
should go as his visitor was man of rank,
his patron and his friend. As persuasion,
however, had no effect one took him by the
right arm, the other by the left, and led him
to the garden gate, when finding resistance
was vain, he bowed, and laid his hand upon
his heart, and in that expressive manner for
which he was so remarkable, spoke the fol-
lowing lines:
"Thus Adam looked when from the garden driven,
And thus disputed orders sent froa Heaven,
Like him go, but yet TO go ann 10th;
Like him | GO; for angels drove us both;
Hard was his fate, but mine still more unknd
His Eve went with him, but mine stays behind"

The memory of sisters kindness, and the
consciousness of her affection, have been a
balm to our hearts in every ill. They have
chcered us in sickness, and sorrow and alb.
sence; they have been to US bcacons off hope
and happiness. Aud will continue with US,

/ Tower Hanlets, chancellor OF the Universi.
ty of Oxford, master OF Triai;y House, vice
president of the Scottish naval and military
academy, and governor of kings college.
England, says one, though proi;lic in
great men, has never produced I; general
capable Of taking rank with the great uamcs
of the continent, before which the iusular
reputation OF Marlborough and Wellington
siuks into the shade. 1t is probably on this
very account that England has lavishcd Oh
such as she had all the honors and wealth
she could bcstow; and in the case Of Wei
lington, every subsidized European sovereign
who furnished troops to oppose Napoleon,
threw in some title or order to the Duke rs
4 makewcight to the bargain. Hence his
continental titles, which are, Prince of Wa
terloo in the Netherlands, Duke Of Ceudid
Rodrigo, and grandce of Spain, Duke OF
Vitoria, Marquis Of Torres Vedras, Count
of Vimiera in Portugal; Knight Of the
Foreign Orders Of the GuIph of Hanover,
St. Andrew of Russia, the Black Eagle Of
Prussia, the Golden Fleece Of Spain, the
Elephant of Denmark, St. Ferdinand Of
Merit, and ST. ]anuarius of the two Sicilies,
Macmillan Joseph of Bavaria Theresa OF
Austria, the Sword Of Sweden, Of William
of the Netherlands, Field, Marshal in the
armies of Austria, Russia, Prussia, Portugal
and the Netherlands, and Captain General
of Spain. These titles, with some ships,
islands, and colonies plundcred from, her
allies, are all that England has to show to
balance the increase to her national debt,
incurred in her absurd crusade against Ma
poeon and the democratic principles Of the
French revolution. And now, with the
Duke all the titles disappear, many Of them
having been dshonored by association with
subsequent events Sic transit gloria mundi.
