P i It 111 , P A SATURDAY 1 4 .10RNING, JANUARY 12, 1850 IQ Under a press o3f advertising favors, and in order to givo the matter crowded out by the Governor's mes sage last week, we are compelled to dispense with our usual miscellaneous selections entire, this week. THE OLD AND Tin: NEW From thocradle to the I grave, says some one, this, world is full of change. 't he child is born helpless and depondont upon its 'parents—Time flies, the child be comes a man, strong iu faith' and energy to wreak+ with the world, the parent becomes helpless like the child, And in turn looks to it3tor support iu his journey down the declivity pf age. This is one of the changes which Father Tune, in Ins onward .brings Kline to the mind with peculiar force. Hot it is not tho only one. Change is marked upon everything uronnd us—not a face we meet in the street,-'not n brick in. the pavement over which we travel, or a familiar bush by the road aide along which wo world our wuv iu our. daily ‘valk, but tiliows the mark of the robing yenr. The 01:1 nod the Nao, ii seen upon every hand. The stripling of yesterday, is a man to-dap—rho 1101 that was covered with forests is now an open field iiant• which tile husbandman has ga- (tiered the golden "grain, and the pirrliq• rook that laughed :Ind danced in the glad sunlight, and echoed on lyr to its ' own music, is now a i suber and industrious wa ter-fall, and turns the ponderous wheel of the rattling mill. The Old and the New! The Boar 1849 has glidod down the ciele of time, and' is HOW reckoned Illllollg the ON/ Eighteen hundred and Fifty, fresh end blooming like u young maiden at tho altar, arrayed in vo%tments of tho miring white. is with us and of US, and may be classed with the New! Shall we glance back et events that have transpired, or shall we wave the enchanter's wand over tho future, and bring forth tout which isle be? As the Intim con atorie bo rend by the past—ns the prophet's knowledle is (leaved from a true roadin,o; of the book printed by tho hand of Time, wo may not totally neglect the/attire, if we turn our attention to the past: Time was when to read of that past, was to look at a record milted with the oppression of the many by the few—of the brilliant deed 3, so miscalled, of tyrmuy in tinting the chains of ignorance, and menial and hinlily aervitude, upnit the minth of the people! That petiod, thanks to the progress of the aze, has passed away. A new and a brighter era bus &tenth' upon (lie world. The light that ( i. wan kindlad upon Ply mouth Rock has s axed brighter and brighter, until its efildgence is veen ud felt to - tha world's r'emorest verge.
