glowing with eloquence and pathos, upon
the great and glorious institutions of this
free aud enlightened republic and the sa-
cred obligations resting upon those who
are entrusted with the ship Of State to
guide her securely along, avoiding the
quicksands Of corruption and the rock Of
disunion, and boasting loudly of what he

forgetting his pledge to those who delight
ed 10 do him honor, suffer himself TO be
bribed to do the dirty work Of corrupt
factions, and become cats paw for mug

principle OF obligation and moral honesty,

upper lip in vain TO assume the size and
dignity Of mustache, and on every occa-
sion, whether in season OF out Of season,
talking long of the merits of pretty faces
and crinoline, the latest style Of coat or

will find that alt is hard for an empty

TIME.

What blessed order Of nature il is
that the footsteps Of time are inaudible,
and noiseless, and that the seasons of
life like those Of the year, are so indis-
tinguishably brought on in gentle pro-
gression, and are so blended, the one
with the other, that the human beings
scarcely knows except from faint and
an unpleasant sensation, that he is grow
ing old!
SO day steals into night through the
crimson curtains Of twilight. So the
golden gates swing round noiseless as the
portals Of heaven. Even the beat Of the
heart is muffled, that we may not know
how fast it struggles out. From the
building Of the oak TO the rolling of the
world, there is no elink in the machinery.
There is no noise save Of healpless waves,
or the rent air grooming with the light
ning's bolt, or now, and then the play of
volcanoes valves, or Of the puny cries of
insects, or Of men in all this world Of ours.
The past is dnmb-the future silent, and
the present makes but slight ripple, like
the trailing Of steamer on a quiet sea.
