In recent number Of the hutclRgencer, "a

fraught with more=rss genuine good sense
than any article On that subjective have ever

would turn in at home just as the first silver
arrows of the dewy dawn appeared in the grey
east, and the starry sentinels of the night put
out their golden watch-fres, and retired, one
by one, into the azure depths of heaven.

physical moonshine is the boasted theory of
human freedom, when brought in contact with
the airy figure of sylph, the voice of a siren,
the loYe-smile of seraph on faultless face,
vivid with animation, and eyes of the loyeliest
hue, and magical in all their glances. Could
we resist the enchantment of unrivalled beau
ty, or quench the blaze in our blood kindled by
the fire of those fascinating eyesf Can the
forest oak repel the lightning Of heaven, or
the powder refuse to fash at the torch Of con-
Stunning Aame9 Can the bird break the dia-
bolical charm in the bright eyes of the rattle
snake, or the bee forsake the hopey-dew Of the
blossom7 Can the star wander at will from
sea be silent when the hurricane tosses their
white foam among the clouds7 No, and itwas
the same uncomfortable fatality that detained
us beyond the "safe side of ten." We readily
agree with ga Martyr to Late Hours" Two
hours cen be very pleasantly spent with music,
chess, or other games, to lend variety. But
the trouble has ever been with us of trying to
break the weird spell at the expiration of the
two hours By the time the music ceases, the
very atmosphere around the performer appears
to exercise over us sort Of mystic magnetic
influence species of fascination as strange
as it is irresistible; and We feel asif celestial
window had been opened in our side, and that
a strean, of golden lightning was flowing from
those bewitching eyes directly into our wildly
throbbing heart. But after many hard strug-
giles we have broke the spell and started for
home, ue would syllable the name Of our fair
friend till the winds in the pine-tops would
echo the same, and the blood in the veins of
the violet would stir at the sound. Then it
was that every sand grain seemed to be trans
muted to gold, all the forest of living emerald,
and every rock glittered with the dust of dia-
monds.
"Make shorter calls, and come oftener."
Well, we have tried that experiment, and can
20 oftener very easy; but with all the power
NE possess ne can't curtail the call, and in sew
eral instances we have refused ourselves the
pleasure of evening calls, fearing We would
stay longer than prudence would dictate.
Thus we have been debarred from the enjoy
ment of "sweet society" for seasons at time;
but when we would resolve and 60 again, to
our great delight and untold rejoicing, we
would find things all right. Those who affirm
that true friendships when once faded can nev-
er be relumed, have never passed through the
the deepest mysteries of that emotion. Often
when the heart that formerly burned with the
heat of furnace, has grown cold and careless
to the divine voice whose Eghtest tone could

beautiful lips, one touch of which made the
very blood boil in all the veins; and even after
long years of absence, some unexpected, and,
perchance, trivial events few lines of an old
fetter-the sight of picture the recovery Of
forgotten ring, Or it may be, the vivid, life
like imagery Of dream, will revive the faded
feelings In all the fiery ardsr Of its glowing
prime, even greater than IN the most powerful
smell of its first existence.
'tDo rot get angry" says. the martyr. We
think it would be q heartless wretch that would
entertain for a moment rufned feelings against
the authoress of such polite and gentle advice.
In fact, to get mad at such an article would be
as improbable and futile as to object to the
light and heat of the glorious sun because an
occasional shadow or spot may be seen on bus
disc. 60.
Again, she says, '1est papa should put his,
oft-repeated threat into execution" &C. That
part would never touch us, for we generally
call on widows daughters; and we expect to
remember "the safe side of ten" and live adi-
etly on the banks of the Ocmulgee, in Ottun'
cum dignitate. .
