The Situation.

The Memphis Ledger says eve have
discussed again and again every subject of
interest that has risen upon the suface of
politics. There is not a point resulting
from our complications that has not been
eucidated in these columns, And now we
grow weary of the theme If we look to
Congress, we see no hope of peace and
prosperity for our section. The same harsh
tones of voice continue to threaten, and
measures, intensified by time and perfect
ed to the last degree of refined cruelty,
move forward with slow, but inevitable
step. Added to the political aspect, we
read of depravity in society, theft in Office,
peculation, aud robberies Of the furniture
of the White House itself. Prostitution,
in all the forms which infdeJity has invent
ed, or depravity suggested, meets the eye
Of the visitor at the Capitol. Men bargain
for place, and, to secure it, do not hesitate
to sell the liberty of the people. destroy
States, and hold their brother mortals pin
ned to the earth with bayonets. The very
committees Of Congress are open. TO the
approach Of great monoPolissa, who, indif-
feraat ts the jntarests q the people. plead

( an honest observer that the government is

SHARP PRACTICE.-A Yankee having a

Of red cepts gbioh he keeps for the occa-

them of to bed.
Next morning they all looked like starv-

The old man calls them around him and
with an air Of gravity, asks:

forthcoming,

Is an assemblage of. boys, ''tyros," in the
use Of the tongue Of the departed heroes,
citing upon the bank of the babbling
brook, that meanders through the grounds
Of ''Cool Grove" heartily concurring with
Lord Byrau in his wish that Rome, her
language, and her literature, had all per
ished together"
Whilst we are standing lost in medita-
ton, enraptured by the scene beforeEs, We
are suddenly aroused from our reyeTie by
the shrill sound of the ''horn,' and the
simultaneous shouts of the hoys, sounding
more like pack of hounds answering to
The call Of the hunter, than rational Beings.
Now comes the most interesting part Of
the day, 'play time" In viewing the play
ground, by slightly drawing upon tie i'm
agination, we can almost believe ourselves
in old Rome, spectators of the Olympic
games, so great is the spirit of emulation
existing between the rival parties in the
athletic sports Of the day, scilicet, wrest-
ling, jumping, fOot-racing, throwing the
ball, performing upon the gymDa5tic pole,
etc.

have spun our thread of life until we have
reached the age of manhood when we are
vexed and harrassed by the ''carking cares
Of the world - with how much pleasure
will we look back upon the bright and joy
Gus days spent at old "CooI Grove :" with
what delight viii we recall to mind the
many little incidents that have made our
school days happy. The golden age of our
life is now gliding by.
Oh, mistaken mortals are you who are
looking forward with high hopes for the
future, to the.day when you viii make
your final exit from the life of a school
boy, when you will take the oar in- hand to
row your boat upon the dark and biilowy
sea of life your bark will be tempest tos-
sed, lashed on all sides by the unrelenting
breakers, shaken from fore to aft, from stem
to stern. Then then but alas in vain
viii you sigh for the lost and unapprecia-
