MY Phi1os oph y

Bright things can never die,
Fen though they fade,
Beauty and minstrelsy
Deathless were made;
What though the summer day
Passes at eve away,
Doth not the moons soft ray
Silence the night
Bright things can never die,
Saith my philosophy
phubus, though he pass by,
Leaves us the light
Kind words can never dc,
Cherished aud blcst;
God knows how deep they lie
Stored in the breast,
Like childhood's simple rhymes,
Said o'er a thousand times,
Ave. in years aud elimcs,
Distant and near.
Kind words can never die,
Saith my philosophy,
Deep in the soul they lie,
God knows how dear.
ANlluhonN can never NAN
Wrecks Of the past
Float on the memory
Fen 70 the last;
Many a daisied spring
Flow, on times eeaseless wing,
Far, far away.
Childhood can never die,
Saith my philosophy,
Wrecks Of our infancy
Live on ior aye.
Sweet fancies never die,
They leave behind
Some fairy legacy
Stored in the mind
Some happy thought or dream,
Pure as days earliest beam
kissing the gentle stream,
In the lone gladey
Yet though these things pass By,
Saith my philosophy,
Bright things can never die,
En- though they fade.

CONDITION OF SPAN.-Spain is in a state
of anxious expectation; and every observer
of the various changes which have taken
place among the people and the government
within few past years. must wait the result
with deep solicitude. Tho late ministers at
tempted to impose a system Of restriction and
soercion which belonged only TO the dark
ages, and were most signally thwarted, Spain
Is too Far advanced to submit quietly to such
depreciation. The discussions Of various
questions in the Cortes and the newspapers
have quickened the intellects and excited the
feelings Of the nation, while those who have
taken leading parts have practiced IN schools
where men Of ability make rapid advances.
And the temporary silence 10 which orators
statesmen and editors have been condemned
the past months has neither diminished their
powers or checked their desire 10 use them.
On tho contrary, whenever tho liberty Of
speech and Of the press shall be restored, we
may expect a burst Of indignant eloquence
from SPAIN both iu the Cortes aud the ga.
zetts, such as has never yet come from that
part of Europe Nelc York Courier.
