MYSTERIES ON Every sIDE.-The world is
full of mysteries. The chamber in which the
infant opens its eye is universe of my steries.
The fathers voice, the mothers smile, reveal
to it slowly the mysterious world of affections.
The Child solves many Of these my ysteries; but
as the circle of knowledge is enlarged, its vi
sion is always bounded by veil of mystery
The that wakens it at morning, and again
looks in at its window to bid it farewell; the
tree that shades. and i'll whose branches the
birds come and sing before the dews are dry,
the clouds with shining edges that move
across the sky. calm and stately like the cba-
lot OF an angel, all are mysteries Nay, to
grown up man there Is not thing which the
hand touches, on which the eye rests, which
is not enveloped in mystery. The flower
which springs at your feet-who has revealed
the wonderful secret of its organization Its
roots shoot down, and leaf and flower rise up
and expand into the infinite abyss of myste
We are like emigrants travelling through an
unknown Wilderness; they stop at night by
flowing stream, they feed their horses, set up
a tent and build fire and as the flames rise
up, all within the circle of a few rods around
is distinct and clear in its light. But beyond
and bounding this rocks dimly seen, and
trees with vague outline dimly stoop forward
to Il blaze and beyond the branches crcak
and the waters murmur over their beds; and
wild unknown animals howl in the dark
realms of night and silence. Such is the light
of mans knowledge, and so it is bounded by
the infinite realms of mystery.

THE SoUTH OF OLDEH TIME.-In Mr.. Ben
in the Senate, occurs the following passage,
in allusion to the decline of the commerce OF
the Southern States:
'sIt is tradition of the Colonies that the
South had been the seat of wealth and happi-
ness, of power and oppulence that . rich
population covered the land, dispensing baro-
NAL hospitality, and diflusing the felicity
which themselves enjoyed that all was life,
and joy, and affiuence then. And this trsdi-
tion was not without simlitude to the reality,
as this writer can testify; for he old
enough to have seen (after the Revoluton)
the still surviving state of southern colonial
manners, when no traveller was allowed to 70
to tavern, and was handed over from family
to family through entire Statex-when holi-
days were days of festivity and expectation,
long prepared for, and celebrated by master
and slave with music and feasting, and great
concourse of friends and relatives; when gold
was kept in chests or desks, (after the down.
fall of paper} and weighed in scales, and lent
to neighbors for short terms without note, in
terest, witness or security-and on bond or
land security for long years and lawful usancc
and when petty litigation was at so low an ebb
that it required fine Of forty pounds of to-
bacco to mako man serve as constable"
