spring from elevated sources. They are
eliminated of the choicest materials of

A party schooled in all the political maxims

LONG AGO.
BY T. D. WILKINS.

Oftentimes will memory ponder
On the days of old gone by,
Till, within myself, | wonder
At the scenes that greet my eye.
Scarce believing that the treasures
Which the past's dark heavens show,
Were indeed sweet living pleasures,
Owned by me long, long ago.
Where amid the verdant meadows
OF youths happy ways I''played,
Catching sunshine--not the shadows,
AS along lile's path..I strayed.
There were merry hours of gladness,
o how swiftly would they go,
All untinged by care or sadness,
In the days of long ago.
Airy dreams of lands Elysian
Floated DER my raptured mind;
O, that each sweet passing vision
Now my longing heart could find
That | now could Gull the flowers
Which alone in memory grow,
And once more enjoy the hours
That have fled in long ago.
Cherished forms now gather roun! me
Forms loved so dear to see;
They to by-gone years have bound me,
Made the past so dear to me,
That in memory's halls I wander,
BY her rivers soothing flow;
Loving still to dream and ponder
Der bright scenes in long ago.

are in general more natural and habitual to
women than with men; while with men there
is positive and absolute love or hatred, in
difference or regard, all the nicer shades and
fluctuations Of the feelings and affections, in
many cases belong to women.
