Sunshine and Shadow.

In a room richly furnished, two young
girls are sitting at their embroidery. Both
are beautiful, but not more different is light
from darkness than these-SUNsHINE and her
twin sister, SHADow.-I viii describe them.
Long golden curls float round a face of
loneliness; bright smiles fit over her ever
changing cheek her eyes are blue as the
sky, full one moment of tenderness, the next
of mischief. Like some fab.ed goddess peep
ing from behind some silvery cloud, she
looks, dressed in her pure white wrapper
No one can remain in her presence without
feeling the influence of her happy spirit
Her name is SUNSHINE.
SHADOW is partly concealed by a heavy
crimson curtain, her dark dreamy eyes seem
gazing into the future. Her hair, black as
night, is wound in g~littering braids around her
pure forehead, her lips are parted as she sits
dreaming, revealing their treasures, two rows
of pearls, contrasting beautifully with the
+, deep-tinted cheek. She is tall, but her form
is perfect symmetry; her work has fallen at
{ her feet and her hands are tightly clasped.-
No sunshine rests upon her features, but
deep, dark thought beams from her eyes,
q She congresses her lips in sudden agony,
and a sorrowful look passes over her young
face. What has capsed this deep sorrow p
Why does she weep? The evidences OF

misery, and sorrow, such as she had seen
1T gay mirth, sparkling wit and humor, romance

the unknown authoress.
SUNSHINE is full of poetry, too; but it CLAN
'se ees on our heart like a flash, then fades away
leaving scarce the remembrance. Not s.
with SHADOW: we cannot eradicate from on
memory her burning words: we remembe
them when images of homes, of life and love
of sorrow and death fill our thoughts; whe
the sweet hours of childhood return to r,
fresh us with their memory. Nor do W
isy forget them in the lasting friendships of late
Dor years. We do not wonder, then, at tt
the shadows she lives with; her thoughts an

Young Mems Christian Association.

1t gives us much pleasure to state that one
of these useful and improving Associations
has been organized in this City, under auspi-
ces that give promise of permanency and
success. We attended its meeting last week,
and were impressed with the interest and
zeal manifested by the very respectable num-
Der of young men present, They have rent
ed a Room in an eligible part.of our CITY,
where they will have a Library and Reading
Room, and in which will be held the business
meetings of the Association.
At an early day, the public will be address
ed, explaining the objects and designs of the
Society and without ~entrenching upon the
ground that will be occupied by the Speaker
on that occasion, we desire to submit 4 few
remarks, hoping thereby to induce many Of
t our young men Gea, all of them,) who have
! not connected themselves with the Associa-
i ton, to do so Immediately.
e The leading feature of these Associations
S is indiridual, enlarged, Christian BeaeeoLence
! Ito get good ourselves, and to do good to
others. Feeling the need of deeper piety
: ourselves, we seek by these combinations Of
: Christian effort to be prepared for feeling a
= deeper interest " regard to our fellow-men.
. And secondly, Qor we design merely to stats
two points, to establish a circle-a home
where we can meet for the improvement o.
s. our minds, and mingle in social intercourse
1T sanctified by the high and ennobling motive.
. of moral and intellectual advancement. Thi
ID latter is a desideratum in this community
ed for our own young men, and those visiting
nd or temporarily residing in it. Many a young
10 man who has fallen into the temptcr's snare
wv might have been saved, had such a Place beeI
accessible, to him, and such an Association
- thrown its protective lEgis around him,
ho But we must forbear-and will close thcs
- remarks by giving a pressing invitation t
Ga all our young men to come and unite wit
.os this excellent Association.

Wars and Rumors Of Wars.

Since our last issue we have two arrivals
from Europe-the latest bringing dates 10 the
10Th ult. The general tone of the contimen-
tai intelligence was more warlikc, and active
preparations were making. Lord Cowley,
who had been sent by the British Govern
ment on a mission of peace to the Emperor
of Austria, adreturned; but thercsulto Of his
interview had not transpired Tie AUSTRIAN
journals continued belicosc, however, and
there was no abatement of warlike prepare
tons.
Affairs in Sardinia were unchanged. It's
reported that a secret treaty exists between
the King Of Sardinia and Napoleon.
France preserved an ominous silence re-
specting Lord Cowlcy's mission, which had
tended to increase approximations Of war, The
Lyons Railway, it vas said, had received or
ders to keep in readiness for the transporta-
~tion'of seventy-fve thousand men to Italy
