BIRTHDAY REFLECTIONS.
By GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

.as GEORGE d. PRENTICE.
1t will be over soon. Another year
Is gone, andits low knelI is tolling now
Ger the wide ocean of tie past
/ am not as in boyhood. There were hours
OF joyousness that came like angel-shapes
Upon my heart, but they altered now
And rise memory's view like statues pale
BY dim fuunt of tears. And there were streams
Upon whose breasts the sweet young blossoms leaned
10 list the gtlsh of music, but their depths
Are turned to dust There, too were blessed lights
That shone sweet rainbows of the spirit, Ger
The skies of existence but their CLEANS
Like the lost Peiad of the olden time,
Have faded from the zenith and are lost
Mid Earth's cold mockeries
How all is changedl
The guardians of my young and snless years
10 more are dwellers of the earth Their tones
OF love oft dwell upon the twilight breeze,
Or wander sweetly down through mist and dews.
At midnights calm and melancholy hour.
But voice alone is there Ages of thought
Come DER me then, and with spirit wen
Lack to my early years, kneel again
At young lifes broken shrine
fsfs The thirst of power
Has been fever to my spirit. Oft,
Even in my boyhood, was want to gaze
Upon the awful cataract rushing down
With its eternal thunder peal the lone
Expanse of Ocean, with its Infinite
OF dark blue waters roaring to the heavens,
The night storms iercely rending the great oaks
From their rock pinnacles the giant clouds
Waving their plumes like warriors i'll the sky,
AID darting their quick lightnings through the air,
Like the red flash of swords-ay was won't
{ 10 gaze on these and almost weep TO think -
could not match their strength The wild thrs
For power is yet upon me; it has been
A madness in ms day realns, and curse
Upon my being; it has led me
TO mingle ia the strife of men ; and now
A myriad Of foes have left upon my name
The stain of their vile breaths
Well, be it SO!
There is a silent purpose III my heart,
And neither love nor fear nor hate shall quen
That one fixed caring. Though my beings stream
Gives forth music now, tits passing back
TO its great fountain in the skies, and there
twill rest forever in the tide
OF Gods immensely. will not mourn sfs
Lies shrouded memofies / can still drink in
The unshadowed' beauties of the universe,
Gaze with soul of pride upon the blue
Magnifieence above. and hear the hymns =
Of heaven in all the starry beams; and fiji
Glen vale and wood and mountain with the bright
And glorious visions poured from the deep home
Of an immortal mind. Past year. farewell

This body, taking he name Of the grand old
assembly before whose white and flowing boards
the barbarian eau IS stood abashed, has nevertbe-
less had its pioneer history when the strong arm
took up what the hot tongue failed to say, and the
trembling lip and glaring eye that closed the de-
bate was like the very finger boards that pointed
to the lawn" at Bladensburg and the plateau of
Arlington. A better dispensation now prevails
with Northern Ideas uppermost and the few vic
lations CT decency and courtesy, which have
married the session, have been of no deeper origin
than drunkenness. Mr.. McDougal once mistook
the Hall for a bar room, but was checked in the
midst OF protane anecdote, and Mr.. Salisbury
once prefaced speech by laying his pistol on his
desk for which he narrowly escaped expulsion.
Here are three semi circles of oak desks, set
under a roof lighted with soft medallion glass
and studded with bronzes and gilded pendants
Following the Presidents eye you observe mid
way of the semcircle, grave, gray gentleman,
cast in the most sedate Of citizen moulds, in
specting through his gold glasses wilderness OF
notes and manuscripts. He reminds you of a
Bishop fulfilling the duties of Bank President
and there is a severe, perhaps petulant method
in the movement Of his lips aud hands, for he is
the responsible member OF the Senate, carrying
the reputation of his party and the statsticseo
the Government well nigh upon his shoulder
alone. Other men are shining ornaments, the he

hension by occasional exhibitions; this man il

THE POLISH COLONIsTs.

From the Baltimore Gazstte.J
The Commissioner Of Immigration Of this
State having failed to obtain support TO car
~ into effect the settlement Of the Poles in
Charles county, Maryland, as was agreed
between him and General TocHMAN, the
latter has contaminated the arrangement Of
locating them in Virginia. He has obtained
fron the Nirginians tract Of $500 acres in
Spottsylvania county, sixteen miles from
Fredericksburg Railroad on one side, and
twenty-six miles from the Central Railroad
on the other, at IS per acre on six years
credit
General TOCHAIAE has already taken pos
session Of the tract Of land, and left three
Polanders 70 prepare winter quarters for
others waiting in New York. He himself
has returned 10 our city with Colonel Bo-
GUCKI 10 collect subscriptions made for the
purchase Of agricultural implements, seeds
and provisions for the winter, and to solicit
n further subscription Of two thousand dol
lars, wanted for the purpose. As by reason
Of the failure Of the agreement which Gene
eral TocHAfAN made with our Commissioner
Of immigration tolocate these Polesin Mary
land, about 81 900 out Of the fund collected
here and in New York for the purchase of
agricultural implements have been expended
70 support them during the delay thus occa-
stoned. II is hoped that our citizens will
literally subscribe 10 the fund sought TO be
raised. From those who cannot be called
upon, donations forwardedto General TocH-
MAN and Colonel BoGUcRI, As Saratoga
street, will be received and acknowledged.

eco AWAY. WHITE WOMAN, YOU
CAN'T COME IN"

A convention of colored people was held
last week, at Albany, New York, for the
purpose Of suggesting and adopting measures
20 place the colored people Of that State on
a social and political equality with the
whites. At .his meeting a Mrs. SUSAN b.
ANTHONY, one Of the strong-minded white
women Of the Empire State, desired to par
ticipate in the proceedings. The question
was, shall she be admitted. The reporter
Of the New York Herald says Of the debate:
"On the coming up of the question, last
evening, as to the admission Of Miss SUSAN
b. ANTHONY 10 a full participation in the
eounsels Of the body, Mr.. PEYToN HARRIS,
of Buffalo, is plump, jolly, round, gray
headed colored Individual, possessed of con-
siderable initiative power, but few ideas and
less language, arose and said, amid shouts
Of laughter, Mr.. Speaker, i, as one Of the
Vice Presidents of this great convention Of
colored folks Of the great State Of New York,
the Empire State Of the world, cannot go for
20 90 for the admission Of the lady into the
body Of this convention. Cheers and i'm
moderate laughter. Now, gemmen, you all
am aware that / hab a great affection
for the ladies' both black and white, but we
must not do anything here to disgrace our
proceedings, which am Of opinion we shall
do if we admit any white trash into this
meeting, [Great sensation, and cries Of

Cooks AND CooKTNG.-There is no more
grievous error than that n knowledge of
cooking is unladylike. Unhappily the
error is very prevalent however and the
consequence is that "stewed SHOE" or "veg-
etable soup balls, or ''gutta percha patties'
would be quite as much in order on bills of
fare as what now too often breaks the hearts
and demolishes the teeth Of our people.
And vet ladies abroad are not so s9eamish
about visits 60 the kitchen. One Of them, a
real lady, that is, titled one-has actually

THE DECADENCE OF MAssACHU-
SETS.


It is a curious illustration Of the declining
intellectual condition Of Massachusetts that
the President of the Trustees Of the 'AIassa-
chusetts Agricultural College" has been
forced 10 resign his position because the
Commonwealth cannot furnish quorum OF
trustees capable Of understanding and doing
the business Of the institution. Three
years ago the college was 'inaugurated," with
the usual displays of that rhetorical volu-
bility which marks the Massachusetts men
of to-day as it did the Byzantines Of the
Lower Empire. After great deal Of use
less expenditure, and much fretting Of mems
souls, Judge FRENCH the President, now
throws up his position in disgust, and makes
this pitiable confession:
1--WE stand at this moment with no syste-
matte plan whatever Of the estate, working
blindly at a single building of which the site
is not vet fixed, opposing the views of the
ablest men in the country, after admitting,
by employing them, our inability 10 go for
ward without such assistance, Justly attacked
by the press for inefhciency and want Of
harmony, and growing weaker daily by loss
Of public confidence and Improbable expen-
ditures Of our funds"
When one reflects how simple a thing,
comparatively, the organization Of an agri-
cultural college is, il must be admitted that
this abiect failure affords striking commen-
tary on the many walls which Massachusetts,
men Of science have Of late put up over the
wasting out Of the virile and mental forces
Of that community. With B. SKs and But
LER as its contributions to the military re-
cord Of the times, with SUMNER, and WILSON.
and boutwell, as its leading public men,
Massachusetts makes indeed but a sorry
show in this year of grace, 1866. The brains
of the old Bay State have been spun up into
Lowell muslins and Bosten, which insulted
the dying HAWTHORNE because his lofty
genius spurned her little gods, now hawks
bis bones and shreds Of his cast-of garments
in one basket with the gabblementso Of second
rate philosophers and the TRADES Of Politi-
ca twaddlers.-N. Y World.
