Oh! There is Dream of Early Youth.

Oh! there is a dream of early youth,
And it never comes again;
IT'S a vision of light. of life. and truth, ..
That fits across the brain:
And love is the theme of that carly dream,
So wild, SO warm, SO new,
That in all cur after years dream
That early dreams are true.
OH there is dream Of mature years,
More turbulent By far:
IT'S a vision of blood, and Of wonan's tears,
For the theme of that dream is war;
And We toll in the field of danger and death
And shout in the battle array,
Till we find that theme in bodylesS breath,
Which vanishes away.
Oh!there is dream Of hoary age,
IT'S vision of gold in store,
OF sums noted down on the figured page,
To be counted DER and o'er;
And we fondly trust in our glittering dust,
As refuge from grief and pain:
It'll our limbs are laid on the las. dark bed,
Where the wealth of the world is vain.
And is it thus, from mans birth 10 his grave,
In the path which all are treading?
Is there noughtin that long career to save
From remorse and self-upraiding?
Oh, yesi there's 4 dream 50 pure, 50 bright,
That the being to whom it is given,
Hath bathed in a sea of living light,
And the theme Of that dreaml !

When | was In nv Fifteenth Year.

When | was in my fifteenth year"
And what the world calPd fair,
loved a youth whose eyes were dark,
And raven-black his hair;
My little heart went pit-a-pat,
Whene'er he pass'd me by,
And If he look'd atother maids,
I'd sit me down and sigh.
Music was in his silvery voice,
And he would softly tell
How dearer far than aught beside
He loved his Isabel:
And as he trembling told his love.
blush'd and mine confess'd
And then. 0, | was very sure
That first love was the best.
Time hasten'd on. Two Summers more
Their splendors DER me threw,
My fancy changed; | now adored
Two laughing eyes of blue.
Ny first loves voice its sweetness lost,
His eyes. methought, grew dim;
And much Imarvelld how I e'er
Had loved or fancied him.
NV second love now WHISPERED me
That was wond'rous fair;
That Cupid wanton'd in my eyes,
And revelled in my hair;
So straight we vow'd our little hearts
Should own no other guest,
And then-why then, l had no doubt
That second lore was best.
But soon, alast another change
Was DER my fancy thrown;
The beauty of my second love
No more in splendor shone
worshipped at another shrine,
Blue eyes had had their dsy;
I loved, Obi yes I dearly loved
Two sparkling eyes of gray.
And softer far than orbs Of blue,
Or eyes Of jet, they cast
Their radiance Ger my beating heart,
Which seemed to love at last.
His accents like seraph's voice,
Sweet on my ear did fall;
And tken-yes, then. thought and felt
Third lore was best of all.
Thus did my fancy, tickle jade!
For years her wanderings keep;
And many solem vow bresthsd
Of passion wild and deep;
Till reason came to fancy's aid,
This lesson to impart;
That lasting love is only found
In pure and kindred heart.
sought and found that kfndrsd heart.
And now all change defy; .-s
No more there's magic in form,
Nor lustre in arr eye.
These fading charms no more heed,
Ny spirit is at rest.
For now feel, and know, indeed,
That last lore is the best.

TIE BATTLE OF THE ALMA COMPAR-
q WITH BATTLES IN MExICo.-lt is
stated that the Russians at the Alma
n umbered over $4,000 men, with a
o pwerful train of artillery, and that
the force of the allies was about the
same: after an engagement which is
cInssed as desperate, the Cars troops
were drivenpt all points by the bay
ohet, the victors losing about 2.oOO
men. Now, if thisstatement betrue,
the Russians made but a feeble resls-
tance--the small loss of the allies
prove this. The AIexicans would
have held out more stubbornly. In
proof, it may be stated that at
Gherubusco they inflicted loss OF
one thousand upon the eight thou
sand Americans engaged; and at
Nfolino del Rey, where Worth had
buta little over three thousand troops
In all. he lost nearly nine hundred
men in less than an hour. At the
same rates, the allies under st. Ar
maud and Raglan, in their battle upon
the Alma, should have lost some
thing like fifteen thousand men, pro-
vided they had fifty thousand enga-
ged.

: Advice to the Girls.
BY AN OLD LADY.

Now, girls, only think Of it as
there are four times as many females
as there are males in the world, /
think the men can have plenty to
choose from, but you have but few:
and girls, when you are looking for
a husband, get sensible cne, with Il
soul in his body. ! mean one who
will take care of you, himself and
family. Have as little as possible to
say to the fancy or fashionable gents,
as they manage to take the heart
without an equivalent, which leads to
unhappy results. Very good look
ing men rarely make good husbands,
but if you do fnd one make sure Of
him. Don't trills with the men, be-
cause you may be sorry for it when
it is too late.
At eighteen was considered d
beautiful young woman. ] was con.
siderable Of a flirt, aud loved to show
my power over the men, and almost
destroyed my happiness by the last
trial. | vas loved hy d young man,
named Augustus Edwards, and re-
turned his love. L determined ono
evening to put lis love to the tost,
and have the pleasure Of seeing him
on his knees before me. When he
came ! met him with cold bow and
no smile. lie looked very much sur.
prised, and asked me what was the
matter.
'Mr. Edwards, | answered, you
have placed your affection on me SUP.
posing it is returned
4 thought so, certainly he re-
piled; and he turncd very pale and
tightly grasped the back Of the chair
he was standing by.
'Annie!' he exclaimed; the blood
rushing 20 his face, Il have loved
you, and love you still; but'-his
manly form trembled with emotion
| will never trouble you
more.'
He was gone. The scene was so
different from what | expected. that
could not utter word. My love
grew stronger in a moment. all at
once life became dark to me, and by
my own folly. ran to the window
to call him back, but he was out of
hearing. | resolved to send him a
note the next morning, begging his
forgiveness, and recalling al had
said in the evening. The night was
ong and sleepless and anxiousIy /
awaited the coming Of the morning.
It came at last, and the note vas
'ont, and an answer waited for till
evening, in dreadful suspense, but
lone came, sent anothet, but with
40 better success. | could not wait
