MIR. JOHN MrTCHEL'S ADDRESS.

The address of Mr.. John Mitchell before the Lite
rary Societies of the University is in many respects
remarkable production. 1t would be difficult to ina
CINE nspc,rh which might parakc less Of the charac-
Ter oi ordinary oratons at College commcncemens.
Instead of the vapid declamation the common place
earning. and the trite discussion o.. familiar topics,
which immem"rial usage has consccratcd to such oc-
casons r.Mitchcl delighted his audience with flight
Of bold and original speculation, and with such dis
play Of literary excellence but the genuine ar
tist achieve.
There is much in Mr.. Mitchcls address TO approve
and admire. The young gentlemen before whom 1t
was delivered were fascinated by the brilliant effect
Of its rheorcby its epigrammatc touches, its fell
cous antithises, its flights Of fancy and its occasion
al pomp Of diction. More mature minds perceived
and applauded more substantial and legitimate excel
lenciCs. In s reverence Of the Past in his hcnr-
tv dctestation Of pretenson and sham in his appre-
caticn of the solid and anslcd virtues Of human
nature, in his scorniul and scahmg exposure Of the
imposturcs and scntimcntultics of modern cviza-
tion in his exalted estimate Of individual worth and
effort, Mr.. Mitchell gave eloquent uttcrnncc to the
feelings and thoughts of the more rejecting portion
of his audience

destroy the effect of the grunder passages of Mr.. Nit
chels address. nor impair the brilancy of his wit
with lightning II sh it shattered the hollow pretcllson
and presumption Of the age The applause with
which he wns frequently interrupted, was ns sin
ccrc Us it was emphatic, and gave assurance that his
eloquence and his genius were justly appreciated by
ms cultivated and critical IN audience ever assem-.
blcd even in the walls Of the University.
II we were TO stop with thi- brief but emphatic ex-
precision OF admiration, it might possibly be thought
that We meant 10 approve and commend the pliloso-
ply as well as the literary excellence of Mr.. Mtchcls
| dlress but such is not the case. With his ab-
horrcncc Of the preten.ion and cant and hypocrisy
of the nge heartily sympathisc, but we cannot us
TO his dismal dogma OF the corruption and sterili-
ty of christian civilization, TO his hopeless theory
of the stagnation of human society. When we have
leisure VIC may examine more critically the mature
| and tendency of Mr.. Mchels philosophy, and may
state at some length the grounds Of our dissent

Thoughts Of Home.

I see thee now my native, well loved home,
Rich in thy beauties rare of vale and hill;
Where gleeful waters through the meadows roam,
And mumer ''earth hath many an Eden still.'su
Plain to my mental vision lfe-like seeming,
Each well remembered object takes its stand
As when in summers early sunshine dreaming,
Offlthy gold, l left my native land.
In memorys magic mirror sadly gazing,
see each cherished spot upon that dear old farm
In blossoming fields, the lazy steers are grazing,
And birds are singing without fear of harm.
Upon the same old hill, the homestead hich see,
Surrounded well with yard of velvet green;
While breath of flower and shields of shady tree,
Invite oblivion Of cares troubled scene
Beyond the brook deep old wood is bending
Its graceful foliage to the waters side
Between the playful lambs with bounds are spreading
Their mirthful vigor o er the meadows wide.
Peace, joy and beauty DER that scene are blendng g
Like rainbow colors in summer sky
No poet yet, on fancy's pinions vending
The way of thoughts, hath caught theme so high
But de far to me that which nature graces
The friends my heart holds fast-I them bid,
father, brother, sisters smiling faces,
Give the heart highest rapture to the view.
(Long has my mother DEAR meath church yards sod
been sleeping, ,ss s aa
Her parts immortal in the Heavens rest;
But STILL full oft, eyes made red with weeping,
BY thoughts of him, 'mong those her virtues blest
Sweet memories too, of youthful friends whose notes
oflaughter pealng, - IS e.-.o
With joyous ring, through those old rooms, bid
mirthful pleasures wake;
Come DER my soul with pleasing gloom and sad
dened raptures stealing,
Like soft and mellow music Ger summer moon
lit lake.
Oh why should ever we from home and friends GO
roaming,
In search OF strange adventure off gold
The cup of joy though to the brimlet foaming
When drank mid faces strange is dull AMI cold.
When far away from cherished ones who loved us,
Like wanderers, lost on deserts drear, we go;
All notes harmonious meath the heavens above us,
Sound to the morbid ear like solemn words of wo
AS bright sun above here is shining,
As best my native skies in days of yore
But still my soul best sympathies are twining,
Round hearts that beat on 'Pennsylvania's Shore

COME TO TIE I'M DREAMS LOVE.

Ely GEO. ID. PRENTICE.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh come TO me oft,
When the light wing of sleep
On my bosom lies soft
Oh, come when the sea,
In the moons gentle light, 80.
Beats low on the ear
Like the pulse of the night; 81 .. -..
When the sky and the wave @
Wear their loveiest blue,
When the dewss on the flower
And the star on the dew.
Come in beautiful dreams, love, s
Oh, come and we'll stray,
Where the whole year is crowned gag
With the blossoms of May; ~
Where each sound is as sweet
AS the coo of the dove,
And the gales are as soft
AS the breathncs of love-
Where the beams kiss the waves
And the waves kiss the beach
And our warm lips may catch
The sweet lessons they teach.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh come and We'll fly
Like two winged spirits
Oflove through tho sky;
With hand elasped in hand,
On our dream wings We'll go
Where the star light and moonlight
Are blending their glow;
And on bright clouds we'll finger
Ofpurple and gold,
Till loves angels envy
The bliss they behold

Go AWAY rRoUBLE.-An Englishman
and German were travelling together in
a diligence, and both smoking. The Ger
man did all in his power to draw his COM
panion into conversation, but to no purpose.
AT one moment he would, with supera-
bundance of politeness, apologize for draw
ing his attention to the fact that the ash OF
his cigar had fallen on his waistcoat, or a
spark was endangering his neckerchief.-
At length the Englishman exclaimed
"Why the deuce can't you leave me

for the la st ten minutes, but I did not both
