road to Paris, and that he would bring
with him, with all the instruments neces.

DREAMS.


Oil there is a dream of early youth,
And it never comes again;
'Tis vision of light, and life, and truth,
That fits across the brain.
And love is the theme of that early dream,
So wild, so warm, so new,
That in all our after years / deem
That early dream We rue.
Oh! there is dream of maturcr years,
More turbulent by far;
Ills vision Of blood, and of women's tears,
For the tieme of that dream is war;
And we toll in the field of danger and death.
And shoutin the battle array,
Till we find that fame is q bodyless breath,
Which vanishcs away.
Oh! there is dream of hoary age,
1t is vision of gold in store
Of sums noted down on the figured page,
To be counted Ger and DER.
And we fondly trust in our glittering dust,
As a refuge from grief and pain,
Till our limbs are laid on the last dark bed,
Where the wealth of the world is vain.
And it is thus from mans birth TO his grave,
In the path which all are treading?
Is there nought in that long career to save
From remorse and self-upbraiding?
Oh yes there's a dream so pure, so bright,
That the being to whom it is given,
Hath bathsd in a sea Of living light
And the theme of that dream is HEAVEN,

( MY BIRTHDAY.
BY I. W. TUCKER.

BY =. W. TUCKER.
How changed are the thot's that my natal-day
brings!
How changed is all else since the May-morn of
life,
When hope stealing forth on nherimpartial wings
Deserted naught but bliss in the worlds fitful
strife.
The thrills of ambtion-love's pulse of delight,
Mark'd each year an era of pleasure deferr'd,
And the long, lazy months seem'd to mock in
their fight.
The echoes of promise that past ones aver'd!
Then lightly Numbered the sands in the glass,
And sportingly spoke of the knell of tomorrow;
And dream'd not that Times busy fingers alas
Would plant in my bosom the cypressof sorrow I!
My thots were not serious and sober as now,
For my soul had not stray'd thro' the bleakness
of years,
Nor time waved its grief wand of woe DER my
brow
And knew not the language that's written in
tears!
My birthdays are not as they'y been heretofore
The nurslings of fancy and hope arc all dead;
And my heart feels the Grape as it waves on its
door,
Mournfully telling of those who have fled!
But it is not that fortune has mock'd my desire,
And canker'd my purse in the mart of the great; !;
Nor, that envy and malice, with the lash of
their ire,
Have left on my bosom one mark of their hate
1t is not that years have strewed in their course,
The white-ghosts of time, with the locks that
were jet;
Bot moments all pall'd, like friend when his
Is mantled for Erebus O! who can forget!
'Tis the time which I've squandered, the coun.
sells I've spurned,
Leaving rust on the mind and blight on the
soul,
Ere life's sober years, in tho'tfulncss turn'd
From pleasures delusion, to mans final goal
Could penance and prayer, or the souls deepest
feeling,
Recall the dead year from oblivion's rest
The eyes of the morning should wake on me
kneeling
To Him who hath power to seal the behcst!
Alas! it's in vain, for the lines which we trace
On Earth's shifting sands are the records o,
doom;
And Times palsied hand, can never cAface,
What is writ on the door of the years solemn
. tomb
All! the sins and the follies of years heretofore
Awakes in my bosom the penitent sigh
Tho cannot erase-I will ever deplore,
The hearts many wand'rings, when pleasure
was nigh;
'Tis the time and tho talents and the minds am
pie power, y,
(The boast of our nature, and the gift of God
Wasted, like sunshine on the sickliest flower,
That scourges the conscience with regrets tear
full rod. sJ
But i will not regret that journeyed SO far,
Nor ask now for power to revoke the decree
That's writ on the belt of my destiny's star,
And speaks Ger the path of the lion to me!
Another voice still, in the whirlwind I've heard
On the perilous deep, when the elements ward
And it said to my soul in a tone reverb!
Wisdom begin with the fear Of the Lord!"

pointed out 10 him; he was announced,
and received. On errering the room. he
found a stout gentleman sitting in an arm
chair near the fire, a bottle Of sparkling
port before him, and several newspapers
around him. So corpulen, was he, that
he was scarcely abe to rise from his
chair.
'Ah, my dear Thevenei, is it you?
Glad, very glad, to see you! How are
you 2 exclaimed the gentleman, who was
no other than Sir Charles Temple himself
