All doubts will shortly be dispelled az
TO the exact position Of General Cass
as tina. distinguish'd gentleman in,ends to
lay his views before the country in q
few days. Those who expec, to find
General Cass endorsing the conduct Of
the administration will be disappointed.
He considers that the principles and sen
timents Of the inaugural are worthy OF
all praise, but he believes the subse quen,
acts Of ~ihe administration are no. in
keeping with that programme. Whils1
tae inaugural yfopsriy recognizes she
Importance Of the compromise msass
ares as prominent principle which .
lected General Pisrce. The recent mes.
sage upon the meeting Of Congress is
almost silent upon that head.
Gen. Cass will condemn many OF the
appointments, and he will repudla:e the
idea that strong party can be formed
by placing factionists in power to the ex.
clusion Of the true men who have al
ways stood firm. In his opinion the
President committed mistake in the
formation Of his Csbinet; and the diff
culties are the natural results of the first
error. He will, also, in his speech, re.
fer TO the Unions denunciations of the
Democratic Senators who voted for the
Sentinel. and, whilst depreeating the
course of the Union, take occasion to
declare that his vote for General Arm,
strong was controlled solely by personal
considerations.

PERUsrxG OLD PAPERs.-How depressing is
the overlooking old papers long locked up, and
filed away. written many years ago, when the
world was brighter and friends were more num-
erous than now, before misfortune had dimmed
the one, or death had snatched away the other!
Nor are ones spirits made more cheerful, when
some Sd document or letter transports us back
wards to season OF bereavment or sad mischan e.
The sunshine of the present is clouded by these
"reminiscences which produce in all their gloom
the shadows of a former day But when it hap
pens, as is most commonly the fact, that day of
darkness and storm is selected for this melancholy
review of past scenes, the sombre skies above US
mingle their weeping with the tears OF revived
Affections, and then pail of darkest hue settles
upon the mind. Beware of this; let no one un-
lock the trunk of old papers, especially such as
concern the heart, except in cloudless day, with
the sun shining in meridian splendor.

TIMES 60 BY TURNS.

Turning the thoughts back to the poets of old
times, memory lights on powerful comp position by
Robert Sonihwell.~ The singular condensation of
language and ideas in the following poem viii strike
the least attentive reader. Ii would be well if in
this respect, our modern authors would follow the
example Of their predecessors. Writers of the
ent day are dffuse as those Of the EiiZabethian
are sententious. The latter had more thoughts
than words-the former have more words than
thouyhts-the one condensed an original idea into a
single line-the others spread single idea over a
page. --.4 ..4 f.-...
The Topped tree in time may grow again;
Most naked plants renew both fruit and flowers;
The soniest wight may find release from pain
The driest soil suck in some mOistenng showers;
Times 90 by turns and chances change by course
From foul TO faT--from better hap to worse.
The zen of fortune doth not ever flow
She draws her eavors to the lowest ebb,
Her tides have equal times to come and go
Her loom doth weave the fine and coarsest web
No Joy 30 great, but runReth to an end;
No hap 80 hard but may in fine amend.
Not always fall of leaf, nor ever spring
NO endless night, nor yet eternal day;
The saddest bird a season finds 10 sing,
The toughest storm a calm may soon allay;
1hus, with succeeding turns, God tempereth all,
That man may hope to rise, yet fear to fall.
A chance may win what by mischance was lost
That net that holds no great, takes little fish;
Ia some things all, in all things none crossed;
Few money need, but none have all the with;
Universal joys here to no man befaIl;
Who least, hath some who most, hath never all.

GAMES OF CHANCs-VExAr1ON OF De

GAMES OF CHANcs-VExAr1ON OF DE-
FEAT have heard story of two per-
sons playing at backgammon, one of
whom was so enraged at losing his match
at a particular point of the game, that
he took the board and threw it out the
window. It fell upon the head of one of
the passengers in the street, who came up
to demand instant satisfaction for the
affront and injury hehsd sustained. The
losing gamester only asked him if he un-
derstood Backgammon, and finding that
he did, said, that if upon seeing the state
of the game he did not excuse the ex-
travagance Of his conduct, he would give
him any other satisfaction he wished for.
The tables were accordingly brought, and
the situation of the two cOntending par
ties being explained, the gentleman put
up his sword, and went away perfectly
sstisfied.-Hazlih.

set all night-in the morning pour it
