SSIyG GAIETIES,

TH,sis the season for pcncs and fishing frOlcs in the
country; and our young people in various parts OF the
District are making oft as they should. We hear
OF sundry little affairs Of the kind, some orer some
yet to take place. 1t is pleasant to know that the
young world around are enjoying themselves, even
though one is prevented from participating. There
is an indicaveness Of life and health and fine feeling
about it that no good man can observe without salts
faction Why raise the finger Of caution and reproof
to dampen these innocent delights of youth! Why
stop them in the midst of those pleasures SO natural to
the glow of young BLOOD to tell them that all is ran.
ty! Why hush up their gushing laughter with ho-
mily upon the Ills that await them and which must, ere
long, be encountered All this they will learn time
enough. For the present-the happy psesent-let
them ''gaiher their rose.buds." As the inimi,able
THOMAS GRAY has written,
But ah why should they know their fate
Since sorrow never comes too late
And happiness too swiftly flies.
Thought would destroy their paradise
No more! Where ignorance is bliss

COMPLIMENTARY TO HON, P. s. BROOKS.

The Laurensville Herald in noticing the ex'
animation at Cross Hill Schools, in that District,
thus notices the address of COL Books, deliver
ed on that occasion.
After the school exercises, Hon. P. S. Brooks
was announced, who addressed the assembly in
one of the most able discourses, on the subject
of education, we have ever had the pleasure of
listening TO. Unlike too many of the addresses
at school examinations, it was dignifed, practi.
cal, and abounded in points of eloquence and
magnanimous thought. We feel confident every
heart present bent approving response to ench
sentiment he uttered. Never shall we forget
him when he portrayed the affection of the mo-.
ther for her child, and when, Mt the death of
that child he repeated, 1t had fallen into its
Fathers arms, who had taken it to a better
world, that its mother might be induced to fol.
low it there" We are sorry that circumstances
would not permit MIR. B. to publish his address
as we arc satisfied that its perusa would have
afforded great pleasure 10 our readers.
