a FRAGMENT.

Swiftly glide our years-they fellow each other
like waves of the ocean, Memory calls up the per-
sons we once knew-the scenes in which we once
were actors they appear before the mind like phan-
toms of n night vision BtIpld the boy rejoicing in
the pl6-y Of his vouth--the wheels of time csnn"t
roll TOO rapidly for hini-the light of hope dances
in his eye-the smile of eTpactaGon-plays upon his
lps-he looks oEwnrd for long years of joy 10 come
his spirt burus within him Ehen he hears of grcht
men and mighty deeds-he wants TO be man. he
longs to tread the path OF honor to hear the shouis
of applause. Look at him again, be is now In the
meridian OF life care has stamped the wrinkles on
lis brow, disappointment has dimmed the lustre OF

nance he looks, back upon the waking dream OF
you,h and sigls for its futility Each revolving
year seerrs TO diminish his happiness, and he discoy-
ers that the dream of youth when the pulse OF anti
cipation beats high Is the season Of enjoyment.
Who is he Cf aged locks2 His form Is bent ana

little to delight him STILL however, he would linSer

A traveller in Germany says: "TIie Ger
mans, by the way, have a queer way OF max
ing brides and of doing some ether things IN
the courting and marrying way which may
interest YOU perhaps. When a maiden is be
trothed, she is called bride and SO continues
till she becomes a wife All the while she IS
engaged she is a bride The lovers, mnedi-
ateIy upon the betrothal, exchange plain gold
rings which are ever worn afterwards till death
parts them The woman wears hers on the
third finger of the left hand, and when she be-
comes swifa,' her ring is transferred TO the
third finger of the right hand, and there 1t
remains The husband always wears his ring
lust as his wife wears hers; SO that if you look
upon mans hand you can tell whether he is
nortgaeed or not There is no cheating for
him ever aftcr-ro coqnetting with the girls,
as if he were m unmarried man for 10 tbe

And makes the shades rejoice.
