YOUTH.
BY ROMEO PINKSTAFF.

How often we reflect back to our
youthful days, and sigh for the many
happy hours we experienced when a
school boy. Then our path was strewn
with laurels and happiness, and how
buoyant were our hearts with the thoughts
of fast approaching manhood! We knew
no sorrow then; our lives were made up
of sport and pleasure; of building castles
in the air and thinking of the happiness
mankind had in store for us. We re-
ceived daily the warnings and teachings
OF those older than ourselves, but secrets
ly disbelieved their representations of fiat
tering tongues and outward appeara noes.
We thought they were "old and had no
inclination, and perhaps no time to join
in the pleasures of youth" but time win
not wait for us, So we shall drink of his
cup Of enjoyment while he is here, and
thus our thoughts were occupied.
Yes, we were happy then; but it was
vanishing happiness to fly with youth,
and at last is the approach of manhood
the summer of our lives Alas the hap
piness we imagined it had in store for us
is not to be found Now the duties of
man devolves upon us-we are free
agent to act for ourselvcs-our pursuit is
success and not pleasure-and we feel the
many pangs OF an aching heart that we
Eever dreamed of when youth. And
next a feeling ofunrcst anl longing for
something more satisfying than we pos
sess lays hold on Us.
Then our summer is vanishing and
giving place to autumn, which Is gone
quickly, and next IS winter-and our
days are ended by age.
And alas what a change is wrought
in few short years! And as we have
advanced onward through life, day by
day seemingly happier day awaiting
rs than we had ever experienced.
"The rose is fragrant, but it fades in time;
THe violet's sweet, but quickly past the prime;
White lille, hang their heads, and soon decay;
And whittier SHOWS in minutes melt away"

cldence, to say the least, and a cores
pondent calls cur attention to the startling
fact. OF coursc there was no connection
between the arrival of the one and the de.
parture of the other; but still it is a fact
that the HERALD has been bouncing the
doughty General, and has shown decided
opposition TO the veterans Gubernatorial
and Senatorial aspirations. No one be-
lieves that the General went to Hart ford
to interview the editor of the HERALD, of
course, and no one believes that the editor
left town to avoid an interview. Still the
fact remains that the General is not a
chronic peace man, and that possibilities
war very probable, as Colonel Giles would
say. Colonel Gruelle will have to stanG

sketch of our hero and his past history.
lie was tall; commanding in appearance;

eyes that spoke volumes at one glance;

Just few months ago, death with is icy
sickle had entered his happy home de-
priving him of beloved parents, and leay-
ing to his sole guardianship dear little
sister OF twelve years His fathers estate
proved insolvent, and Edward Manning
was left to earn his and his sisters sup
port 10y his own daily exertion. Through
the fundamentally Of friend, he secured
a situation with a merchant in a very
prosperous little city several hundred
miles from the place where our stony
begIns.
Clara Lancaster had bcan his playmate
from childhood, and at length Cup;d's ar
row had pierced deeply into his heart. and
going 20 Clara he frankly declared his
love, and in return received the answer
just recorded.
Wishing to have his sister ever with
him, he procured boarding in private
family, and commenced the Gull routine
of business life
Time, the destroyer and increaser of
mankind, still continued its never weary
course. EI~aai succeeded al every garn,

friends multiplied, and he was everywhere
liked 70" his many excellent qualities Of
head and heart. But deep IN his heart
was an unfathomed void, which seemed
never to be filled. He had tried in vain
to throw oil the haunting vision Of Clara
Lancaster; but it visited him ever in soli
tude, filling every idle thought with beau
tiful dreams of her. For several years
he contented himself with only the society
of his sister, but as the world called loud
ly for her, he, toe, forgot himself and was
was once more the lion Of the day.
Our minds naturally reveTts to inci~
dents forever past-days, hours, of yore,
shining forth in most ethereal beauty
and get we would willingly Danish such
thoughts from our memory, drown them
entirely from our solemn stream OF Lethe.
1t is far more pleasant to our reflection
TO know that car friends have gone to
their beautiful home in that far better
land, than to have loved ones still on the
busy scene Of action, and feel that, in all
probability, we may never see them Or
hear words of affection from their lips
again.
Our hero had never heard from Clara
since he left her, except the eulogiums
of the world on her extreme beauty and
intellect.
For eight years, matters went on in
their usual routine. Miss Manning for
sock the loving arms of her devoted
brother for one who promised protection
through life.
Edwards employer died bequeathing
to him an enormous fortune, and having
already accumulated enough to live on
independently, he laid aside business
ideas and gave himself up to travel. He
spent two years visiting every place of
note, in the old world.
At last, growing tired of this mode of
life, he retraced his footsteps homeward,
and visited the city where he was born
and reared. There, for the first time in
ten years, he met the object of his true
and devoted love.
Time had wrought but few changes in
her outward appearance, but her heart
had lost its freshness and susceptibility,
and she was ready as every devotee of
society is. TO pronounce the world "as
hollow as can be, and true hearts seldom
met with"
Whether it was only with that true
feeling of friendship that she greeted Ed
ward Manning, will leave my reader to
guess.
To test, perhaps, her friendship, if no
more, for several weeks he met her only
at public entertainments. But at last,
desiring to see her alone, lie called at her
home. During his stay, their conversa>
ton consisted of the topics of the day; but
on leaving, Edward took both her hands
in his, and said:
W hen lett you ten years ago, you
gave me your friendship. | come now
for your love. Will you give it me?'
The question was so unexpected, and
so astouished was our little heroine, that
she did not reply for moment.
Regaining her seIf-possession, she said:
"For years, Edward, | have been try
ing to persuade myself that it was not
more than a feeling of genuine friendship,
with which l regard you. l have found
out my mistake and am willing to cor
rect it. "
She did so, and there was a happy
union of hearts--in short, an elegant we'd
ding took place in Mr. Lancaster old
mansion the next fall.
