naebnrn Castle.

softly falls the dreamy sunlight
On the castle ruined wall,
Bathing in a mellow lastre
Turret high, and lordly hall;
And its quiet, noiseless fingers,
Like the favored king of old.
Have the fairy gift of turning,
All they touch to shining gold.
Round the lofty painted window,
Stair ed with rare and cunning skin.
Cleaning in a chastened splcndor,
Clipgs the dropping ivy still
And within, the costly hangings.
Stained aud tattered Though they BE-
Glothe the wall with faded beauty,
As the autumn leaves the tree,
on yon dark and broken column.
Vines and blossoms fair amid,
Standing once in grandeur solemn,
Now by dewy grass blades hid.
Sits a Joyous, birding pouring
From his w~ondrous, tangled brais
Songs Of sunshine deity mingled
With a souns like ,earfal rair.
h The bright and balmy summer.
When glad earth sings IN flowers.
Aud the rainbow follows after
Darksore clouds and stormy showers.
Thea The cd and ruined caslle,
Framed in warm and dancing gold.
Seems hike dear and valued pictures,
FaiAsr fer its being old.
But VIZ sad and mournful autursa
Brapas The trees as with a pall.
And the wailing winds ale wandering
Through the carved and oaken hall.
Making strains ofsolemn music
Mingle with the breezes NOAH
Then the yaalted chambers echo
Requisms sad for spirits aowa,

A Retrospective View.
BY THOMAS Eoon.

Q, when ! was a tiny boy,
My days md nights were full OF icy,
My mates we're blithe and kindi
No wonder that 1 sometimes sigh.
And dash The tear-drop from my sys.
To cast a look behind!
A aoop was an eternal round
OF pleasure. In those days l found
a toy a joyous thing;
But o these past delights I drop;
My head, alas is all my top.
And careful thoughts the string!
My kite. how fast and far 1t flew
Whist l a SORT of Franklin, drew
My pleasures from the sky
Twas papered DER with studious themes
The tasks | ~Hrote-my present dreams
win never soar so high!
Ny joys are wingIess all and dead
Ny dumps are made of more than lead:
My flights soon find a fall;
My fears prevail, my fancies droop.
Joy never coneth with a hoop,
And seldom with a call!
My footballs laid upon the shelf.
I am a shutt.ecock myself
The world knocks to and fres
My archery is al unlearned,
And grief against myself has turned
My arrows and my bow
Now more in noontide sun l bask
My authorshipss az endless task
My head meier u of school;
Ny heart is panied with scorn and slight,
l have too many foes TO fight,
And frieads grow strangely coell
No skies 50 blue or so serene
As then no leaves look half SO qrees
As clothed the playground tree;
All things / loved are altered SO!
Nor does it ease my heart to know
That change resides in me-
Q for the garb that marked the boy.
The trowsers made of corduroy,
Well linked with black and red
The crownless hat, me- or deemed sn i'll
1t only let the sunshine stu
Repose upon my headi
Q for the lessons learned by hearth
Ay, though the very birch's smart
Should mark those hours again,
" Id kiss the red. and be resigned
Beneath the stroke, and even tnd
Some sugar in the camel

Mrs Eliza HI. vanderveer.
Had I the Tyre a Milton clsimed
70 animate my lay,
I'd sing thy praise in richest ssrsisss
Through everlasting day
But oh the task is hard indeed
To estimate thy worth
Whose virtues bloom'd through sv'rs ysas.
Commencing with thy birth.
Thy s~oft'ning hand was ever raised
To sooths the pangs of grief:
Thy smile could brighten sorrows gieom,
And render sweet relief.
And in thy souls most secret cell
The germ Of sweet affection lies:
That ardeat, pure, and unexcellsd,
Which never in a mother die4.
Our gratitude can ne 'er repay
The debt of love ne owe
Nor all the efforts of our hands.
Ner all that words can do.
A Partner long may wall thy loss.
Children, thy fate deplore-
The heart which once was twain with shiss
Returns TO love no more.
Although endeard By all the tea
4 tender Mother won
She dies with this emphatic strain,
My God-thy will be doae.
Hush then orr grief-be still each tongue
For God hath dealt the blow
The wisdom of his righteous VIII
No Earthly power can know.
Wen wander to her quiet grave.
In evenings twilight hour,
To breathe for her an ardent pray'r
And straw her grave with flowers.
And there beneath the moon-beams smile,
And the gentle zephyr's breath;
Well mediate the doom of man,
And lull our fears of death.

CARoNDEAET CANAL AND NAVIGATION COMPANY.
The first annual statement Of this corporation is laid
before the public in another column from the statis-
tics Of which il is apparent that the improvements
being made by the Company have already given their
business an impetus which portends career of pros
perty III tho future, and rapid elevation of " Old
Canal to due commercial Importance. During the
year 70 per cent Of the New Orleans subscribed
stock Of 1927 800 has been called n whereof Jos
has been collected and the amount Of $ls,355 due is
in course Of collection, The amount disbursed in
prosecuting their works. ETC. was s75,7o1 on, while

up-has been paid ON account Of bonds assumed by
the Company, whose liabilities are slOl9O &C, cash
assets s640s0 97 and real estate assets Sl8sOs 50
thus showing healthy financial condition. During
the year ,666 vessels, with tunnage Of S9I59 in
the aggregate, have entered the canal, bringing a
vast amount Of merchandise and paying tolls which,
with those received from the roads, amount to the
sum Of s19,036 ~, against 1891 81 received last
year by the old Company. The energetic business
management Of Louis Gagnet Esq. the Secretary Of
the Company, with others engaged, has pushed the

be had and in six or seven months is expected that
