One and Twsa,y.

With youth no period 10 looked forward 10
with 90 much impotence as the hour that
shall end our minority. With manhood none
is looked back 10 with 30 much regret.
Freedom appears 10 the young man a. the
brightest star of out existence, and is never
los, sight Of till the goal TO which he has
been SO long travelling is reschsd. When
the mind and the spirit are Young, the sea
son of manhood is reflected with q bright
ness from The future, which no,h,ng can dim
but lis own cold reality. The busy world is
stretched out before our boyhood like the
exhibition Of mechanical au,oma,s. We
behold the merchant accumula,ing wealth.
the scholsf planting his foot upon the sum-
nit of the temple Of fame--the warrior twin
ing his brow With the laurel wreaih-and
we ysarn to Struggle With them for supre-
macy. In tho dislsnce We see nothing but
The most prominent part Of the picture, which
is success--the anguish Of disappointment
and delay is hidden from our view. We
see not the pale check of neglected merit or
the broken spirit o: unfortunate genius, or
the sufferinss of worth. But we gsze mol
long, for the season of youth passes away
like the moons beam from The still water, OF
like q dew drop from the rose in June, or an
hour 10 the circle Of friendship. Youth de-
paris and We FIND ourselves iu the midst of
that great theatre in which 10 binding, have
upheld US, are broken, and we step into the
crowd with no guide bot our consciences: to
carry us through the intricate windngs of The
path of human life. The beauties Of the
prospective have vanished. The merchants
wealth has furowed his cheek. The &C.
quirements Of the scholar were purchased
at the price Of his health-and the garland
of the conqnsror is fastened upon his brow
with thorn, the ranking of which shall
give him no res, on this side Of the grave
Disappointment dam2s the srdor of our
first set,ing out, and misfortune follows close
ly on our path, TO finish the work and close
oui career.
How often, amid the cares and troubles of
manhood, do We look back TO that sunny
spot in our memory, the season OF our youth;
snd how often wish to recall il escapes
from the bosoms of those who once prayed
fervsn,!y that it might pass away.
From this feeling we do not believe that
living man was ever exempt. Il 10 twined
around the very soul--it is incorporated 10
