Present and Past.


Viewing the present aspect Of things
that have developed in this age, and trsc-
ing them back to their origin, we feel star
tied at the discovery of small causes that
were set in motion at some former period,
when we compare them with the wonder
full effects. We have been overwhelmed
in taking a survey Of the panorama of life
rs the busy scenes twirled around U.S.
There are times when we are thinking
that we enjoy the most preferable age that
has yet been allotted to man. Then doubts
arise, and We feel as though the great men
the beacon.lights who guided the masses
by their wise counsels, have left the earth,
and we arc now alone to plod our way
with only the recollection of their maxims
to serve as landmarks. When overcome
with such reflections, gloom overshadows
intellectual vision, and leads us to contem-
plate the grand Millennium of which We
have heard so much. But hopeful youth,
blessed with impartial beauty, looks out
upon the dawn of day, with the same
throbbing emotions that filled the breasts
of our illustrious ancestors, with the ex-
ception that their felicity and confidence
in the regular rotation of seasons, with
their evenness of temperature, was Of lon
ger duration than ours, at the present day.
Their confidence in each other is incom-
parable with that which is manifested be-
tween social beings Of the present time
We claim to be wiser than any preceding
generation, and think that pe have ac-
quired what we know ourselves, without
considering that the knowledge we possess
is the mere legacy of ancestorial industry.
We pride ourselves upon the art of COM

times that we carry along the "stupendu-
Gus whole'' of the Sciences and Arts

knowledge and requirements is founded.

DRIVING HOME THE cows.

Ont Of the clover and blue-eyed grass
He turned them into the river-ane;
One after another he let them pass,
Thea fastened the meadow bars again.
Under the willows, and over the hill,
He patiently followed their sober pace;
The merry whistle for once was still,
And something shadowed the sunny face,
Only a boJi and his father had said
He never could let his youngest go;
Two already were lying dead
Under the feet OF the trampling foe,
But after the evening work was done,
And the frogs were loud in the meadow swamps,
Over his shoulder he slung his gun
And steathily followed the foot-path damp.
Across the clover and through the wheat
With resolute heart and purpose grin
Though cold the dew on his hurrying feet,
And the blind bats fittering startled him.
Thrice since then had the lanes been white,
And the orchards in sweet apple bloom!
And now when the cows came back Mt night
The feeble father drove them home.
For news had come to the lonely farm,
That three were lying where two had lain;
And tho old mans tremulous, palsied arm
Could never lean on Il sons again.
The summer day grew cold and late,
He went for the cows when the work was done;
But down the lane. as he opened the gate,
He saw them coming one by one.
Brindle, Ebony, Speckle, and Bess.
Shaking their horns in the evening wind;
Cropping the butter-cups out of the grass
But who was it followed close behindl
Loosely swung in the idle air,
The empty sleeve Of army blue;
And worn and pale, from the crispng hair,
Looked out face that the father knew.
For Southern prisons will sometime yawn
And yield their dead unto life again,
And the day that comes with cloudy dawn
In golden glory at last may wane.
The great tears sprang to their melting eyes;
For the heart must speak when lips are dumb
And under the silent eyeing skies,
Together they followed the cattle home.

Dewitt Clinton.


The venerable printer, Conger Sherman,
who died not long ago, in Philadelphia,
occasionally INDUCED in "reminiscences of
the early days when he worked in the
printing house Of Barber & Southwick, at
Albany. Here is one of his stories
:" 1t was at this time that had frequent
opportunities Of seeing some of the public
men of that day,--among others Daniel d.
Tompkins and De Witt Clinton. In per-
son, manners, and mind, Clinton was a
splendid man. Sedate and reserved. he
yet appeared to be always cheerful and
kind. He had just been appointed by the
Senate of New York, one of the Board Of
Canal Commissioners, and was engaged in
perfecting the plan Of the Erie canal, Of
which he was the originator. l was sent
to him one morning ut his room for copy.
When l entered dotted my cap, made my
bow and said Please, sir, | was sent
for some copy Sit down, my son. was
the kind and encouraging reply.
" He took up from the table before him,
a neatly prepared manuscript, fastened at
the top of the leaves like lawyers paper

| looked at it; it. was written in a clear
round hand as plain as print. Yes, sir,
| can read it., was my reply. He said,

nal stand up before me and read This

appointed to survey the route of the great
Erie Canal. did my best at reading. /
was accustomed to reading copy-bad
manuscript generally this was good. I
read on in a clear firm tone, and with en-
phasis, pronouncing every word correctly,
until came to an estimated cost of the
work-five millions of dollars. drew a
long breath, more perhaps from some nat
ural cause, than comprehension of the
enormous sum of money in those days.
The grave statesman looked at me as if l
did not understand it financially. Large
figures sonny said he: l may not live to
see the work finished, but you will, and
paid for, too, hope then read on to
the end of the document, put the copy in
to my pocket, felt highly honored, and re-
turned to the printing etlice with it, where
came very near getting a good thrashing
for lettering about the State House, which
l sometimes did, for it was very agreea-
