Messrs. Echoes :—I have just returned from
A pleasant walk with a, boon companion of. for*
mer years. Our conversation naturally turned
upon the scenes of our own native State, where
stand the lofty hills and towering mountains
which .often tiled our minds With emotions of
the sublime—where meander the (moling stream
letsadown the rugged mountain’s sideand as
we dwelt with rapture upon the other loved ob
jects of our boyhood and matafcr years, I said
to my companion- ‘I do wonder what has be
come of the Jtitoond Tribune, ns 1 have’nt seen a
copy since Heft my fathar’s houae l” My friend
endeavored to comfort me by telling me that it
would yet come—but I would not be comforted.
I immediately went to my room and, snatching
up a pen, dipped it into the'ink,' resolved to
