BIRTH DAY REFLECTIONS.
BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

It will be over soon, Another year i
Is gone, and its low knell is tolling now
Der the wide ocean of the past.
Alasl
| am not as ir boyhood. There wore hours
OF joyousness that came like angel-shapes
Upon my heart, but they are altered now,
And rise on memOry's view like statutes pale
By a dim fount Of tears. And there we're stream
Upon whose breasts the sweet young blossom
leaned
To list the gush of music, but their depths
Are turned to dust. There too were blessed light
That shone, sweet rainbows of the spirit, Ger
The skies of new existence, but their CLEANS,
Like the lost Plead of the olden time,
Have faded from the zenith and are lost
Mid Earth's cold mockeries !
How all is changed
The guardians of my young and sinless years
No more are dwellers Of the earth. Their tones
Of love oft dwell in the twilight breeze,
Or wander sweetly down through mists and dows
AT midnights calm and melancholy hour,
But voice alone is there Ages of thought
Come Ger me then, and, with a spirit won
Back to my earlier years, / kneel again
At young life's broken shrine.
The thirst Of power
Has been a fever to my spirit, Oft,
Even in my b%oyhood, was wont to gaze
Upon the awful cataract rushing down
With its eternal thunder peal, the lone
Expanse of Ocean with it's infinite
OF dark blue waters roaring to the heavens,
The night-storms fercely rending the great oaks
From their rock-pinnacles, the giant clouds
Waving their plumes ike warriors in the sky,
And darling their quick lightning5 through the
air
Like the red fash of swords-ay, l was wont
10 gaze on these and almost weep to think
! could not match their strength. The same wild
thirst
power is yet upon me; il has been
A madness in my day'dreams, and q curse
Upon my being: it has led me on
To mingle in the strife Of men and now
A myriad Of foes have lef. upon my name
The stain of their vile breaths.
Well, be it SO
There is a silent purpose in my heart,
And neither love nor fear nor hat, shall quell
That one fixed daring. Though my beings stream
Gives forth no music now, tits passing back
To its great fountain in the skies, and there
Twill rest forever in the ocean tide
Of Gods Immensity. / will not mourn
Shrouded memories. l can still drink in
The unshadowed beauties of the universe,
oazo With a soul of pride upon the blue
Magnifcence above, and hear the hymns
OF heaven in all the starry beams, and fill
Glen, vale and wood and mountain with the bright
And glorious visions poured from the deep home
Of an immortal mind. Past year, FAREWELL

others OF our Kind regale themselves, This thing
OF eating is indeed but a matter of taste, and var

A Coon 0NE.-In the General Assembly of the
Old School Presbyterian Church at Rochester, the
other day, DR., Thornwell told q good one at the
expense of a Hard-shell Baptist minister who at
tempted to prove that immersion would become
the universal mode Of Baptism, from the text
The voice Of the turtle shall be heard in the land. ;
The preacher was one of those who believed he
ought not to select a subject before hand, but
when he rose to speak and opened the Bible, the
first verse that met his eye must be used, and as
it happened this time the words we're: The
voice OF the turtle shall be heard in the land.' At
first he thought he was stumped. AT length he
said' Brethren, at the frat sight one would sup
pose there was not much in this text. But on a
little consideration you will see that there ia a
great deal in it. Now as you have bean along by
a pond, you have seon shem, on a log summing
themselves. Now, it is said, The voice of the
turtle shall be heard in the land But the turtle
hasn't any voice that anybody ever heard, SO it
must be the noise the turtle makes 10 ~plunging of
the log into the water, Hence we conclude that
immersion is meant, and that immersion will DO

increase its interest, to enlarge it's circle OF attrac-
ton, aud to raise its standard of ability in oil
departments.
They think it proper to say, simply, that no
change will be made in the general character Of
the magazine; that all the writer's whose contribu-
tons have established it in the popular favor will

publishers with authors on both sides the Atlantic
will enable them to add materially to the variety,
interest, and value Of its pages.
The Atlantic has never been, and will never be.
a sectional journal. Its publishers Acknowledge
no parallels Of latitude in the Republic of Letters;
and, while they will judge of any article offered
them. not by the source whence it comes, but by
its own intrinsic worth, they will at the SAM time
endeavor to maintain its character as a periodical
in which earnest thinkers may find ex2 ression,

which what is loudest. but not deepest, in Public
Opinion would fain establish.

JAPAN, ARCADIA REALIZED.

While some of the civilized nations of our globe
have prided themselves on the attention they have
given to public education, they have only followed
the example of the Japanese. This singular peo-
pie have most decided literary taste, and thew be.
lieve in educating the Masses The children are
aim Jst invariably sent to schools in which they
learn reading and writing, and are taught the his
tory Of their country. Books are constantly print.
ed, and are said to meet with a large circulation.
and is would seem that the Japanese are really as
much q reading people rs some who are deemed
more civilized than they. With them education
seems to have produced marked results. Drum
kenness and vice are rare, and beggars are seldom
met with. Theft seems a crime of which thew
are ignorant, since lock and key are little used.
Then, too, though it is hard to believesit, lawyers
are a class of men unknown to Japan and per.
haps this is one cause of peace and good will!
which seems to exist among the people. There,
every man is his own lawyer. The injured party
states his case to the magistrate, and the accused is
heard in reply. The magistrate examines the wit
nesses and passes sentence, which says Commo-
dore Perry, is carried into effect inStanter.' There
there are no motions for new trials, no appeals of
any kind and yet justice is generally Obtained
quite oitener, perhaps, than it is here, and that
too, at less expense, and more expeditiously.
Sometimes parties are ordered to settle their diff
culties with the aid Of their friends,
Then. when persons are put in prison, there is
no distinction made between the rich and the poor
both fare alike. The rich man can have good
food if he wants it, but only on one condition, that
he shares it with oil his fellow prisoners There
is another point, in regard to which the Japanese
are in advance Of some other nations, and this is
a point which we at this city at least can appre-
ciate-the-e is little or no taxation. The revenues
are derived from rents of land owned by the
crown. Really, it would seem from what we have
learned of Japan, that it approaches nearer the
of Sir Phillip Sidney, than any portion
of the civilized world. A place where there are
no lawyers, in which there is no taxation, in
which murder, robbery, theft and begging are al
unknown, and whore the people are educat-
ed and refined and elegant in their taste. must be
a desirable spot to reside inn. y. Paper.

ANECDoTE OF STEPHEN GIRARD.

Old Girard had a favorite clerk, and he always
said he intended to do we'll by Ben Lippincott.'
So when Ben got to be twenty.one, he expected
to hear the Coz. say something of his future pros
poets and perhaps lend a helping hand in start

avoided the subject. Ben mustered courage, 1

What do you think l had better do p Yes, yes,

This application of Zoe nearly froze Ben out,

lie annouced to old Stephen that he had gradue-
ted and was ready to set up business. The old
man seemed %grathied, and Immediately ordered
three of the best barrels he could turn out. Ben
did his ~prettiest aud wheeled them up to the old
mans counting room. Old Girard pronounced
them frst,rate, and demanded the price. 'One
dollar said Ben, lis as low as / can live hy.'-
Cheap enough, mako out your hill.i
The bill vas made out, and old Steve settled it
with a check of 500 900, which he accompanied
with this moral to the story; There, take that,
and invest it in the best possible manner, and if
you are unfortunate and loose it, you have a good
trade to fall back upon, which will afford you a
good living We should like to see all the old
solid follows trying that experiment. 1t will spoil
a barrel or two, but it won't spoil the boys.
