RAPIDITY OF TIM e.

Swiftly glide our years; they fellow
each other like the waves of the ocean.
Memory calls up the persons we once
knew, the fences in which we once were
actors; they appear before the mind like
the phantoms of night vision. Behold
the boy, rejoicing in the gayety of his
soul; the wheels of time cannot move too
rapidly for him; the light of hope dances
in his eye; the smiles of expectation play
upon his lip; he looks forward to long
years Of joy to come; his spirit burns
within him when he hears of great men
and mighty deeds he wants to be man;
he longs to mount the hill of ambition.
to tread the path of honor, to hear the
shout of applause. Look at him again;
he is now in the meridian of life; care
has stamped its wrinkles upon his brow
disappointment has dimmed the lustre of
his eye; sorrow has thrown its gloom
upon his countenance he looks back upon
the waking dreams of his youth, and
sighs for their futility. each revolving
year seems to diminish something from
his little stock of happiness, and he dis
covers that the season of his youth, when
the pulse of anticipation beats high, is
the only season of enjoyment. Who is
he of the aged locks? ? His form is bent
and totters; his footsteps move more
rapidly towards the tomb he looks back
upon the past; his days appear to have
been few, and he UUufesses that they
were evil; the magnifcenee of the great
is to him vanity; the hilarity of youth
folly; he considers how soon the gloom
of death must overshadow the one and
dlsappoint the other; the world presents
little to attract and nothing to delight
him. Still, however, he would linger
in it-still he would lengthen out his
days-though, of "beauty's bloom" of
"fancy's fash" of "music's BREATH he
is forced to exclaim, 81 have no pleasure
in them" A few years of in6rmlty,
inanity and pain, must consign him to
idiocy or the grave-yet this was the
gay, the generous, the high-soulcd boy,
who beheld the ascending path of life
strewed with flowers without thorn.
Such is human life, but such cannot be
| the ultimate destinies of man.

GOLD.

Gold turks in every aim Of life;
1t sways the lofty and the lowly,
And shrouds beneath its sable lall
Each aspiration high and holy.
For 1t we utter earnest prayer,
And solemn VOWS are made and broken,
And beauty barters faith and hope,
And bitter scathing words are spoken.
Gold cannot add one hours life,
Or buy loves holiest caresses;
1t cannot stay the silver streak
Time blends with beauty's auburn tresses;
1t cannot bring the loved one back,
So rudely torn from our embraces;
It cannot smooth the wrinkled brow
Scored deep with grief-s relentless traces.
Gold cannot bring youths ruddy glow
Back to the cheek Of fading beauty;
1t cannot hush the STILL small voice
That hints OF oflong-neglected duty;
1t cannot heal the broken heart,
Throbbng with some unbounded sorrow;
For words that wiring the soul to-day,
Gold cannot bring relief tomorrow.
Then let us spurn the glittering bribe.
Nor breathe for it one sigh of sorrow;
Gold can at last but gild the bier;
Or buy the pail that want must borrow.
The lowliest heart in all the land
Is rich indeed beyond all treasure,
If truth and virtue, hand in hand,
Have been through life its rule and measure
