• PAST MEMORIES.
By J. 0. Whittier.
How thrills, ones more,lhe lengthening chain
Of memory at the thought of thee!
Old hopes which long in dust have lain,
Old dreams come thronging back again,
And boyhood lives in me; •
I feel Its glow upon my cheek, •
Its fullness of the heart Le mine,.
As when I learned miner thee speak, •
Or raised my doubtful eyes to thine.
I hear nab; thy low repine,
I feel thine arm within my own,
And timidly again op rise •
The fringed lids of hazel eyes
With soft brown tresses overblown,
And memories of sweet summer eves,
Of moonlit wave and willowy way,
Of stars, and dowers, and dewy leaves,
And smiles and tears more dear than they.
Ere this, thy quiet eye bath smiled,
My pletureof thy youth to see.
When halls woman, half a child,
Thy very artlessness beguiled.
And folly's self seemed wise In me;
too can smile, when o'er that hour,
The lights of memory - backward stream, •
Yet feel the while that manhood's power
, Is valuer than my boyhood's dream..
Years have passed on. and left their trace
Of graver care and deeper thought,
And unto me (becalm, cold face
Of mankind, and to thee, the grace
Of svoinan's pensive beauty brought,
Ov life'n rongh blest, for blame and Mids.,
The school boy's name widely down ;
Thine, In the green and quiet way■ •
Of unobtrusive goodness known.
And wider pet, in thnught and deed,,
(usain diverging paths incline; -• .
•
Thine, the Genevan's sternest treed
While answers to my spirit's need.
The Yorkshire peasant's simple line;
For thee. the priestly rite and prayer,
And holy day and solemn psalm ; -
For ine. the silent reverence, where
My brethren gather; slow and calm.
Yet bath thy spirit left on me
An impress Time has worn net out,
And something of myself in thee,
A shadow from the past, !see
Lingering e'en thy way shout
Not wholly can the heart unlearn
tint lesson of its better hours,
Nor yet, has Time's dull footstep worn
To common dust that path of flowers.
WE ABE GROWING OLD. t.
We are growing old—how the thought will raise
When a glance is backward cast • ,
Os some long remembered spot that lies
in the enema of thepast;
It way be the shrine of our earthly vows, '
Or the tomb of our early tears;
But kittens like a fkr-off isle to us,
In the stormy sea of years.
Oh ! wide and wild are the waves that part
Oar steps from its greeneu now—
And, we miss the guy of many a heart,
And the light of many a brow;
For deep o'er many a stately bark
Have the whelming billows rell'd,
That ateer'd with us from that early mark—
Oh friends we are .growingold t -
Old in the dimwits and the dust
°four daily toil■ and cares; •
Old In the wrecks of love and trust
Which onrburthened memory bears;
Each form may wear, to the passing gaze,
The bloom of life's freshness yet,
And beams may brighten our latter days
•
Wtdchthe morning never snit. •
But oh the chaises we' have seen
In the far and winding way—
The graves in our path that have grown green,
And Malachi that have grown gray!
The winters still on our own may spare '
The sable or the gold
But we saw their shows upon brighter hair— .
And, friends, we are growing old!
We have gained the world's cold wisdom now,
We have learned to pause and fear—
Bet where are the living founts; whose flow
Was ajoy of heart to heart
We.have won the wealth of many a clime,
And the lore of many a page—
Bet where lathe hope that saw in Time
But Its boundless heritage,
Will a Come again when the violet wakes,
And the woods their youth renew I
We have blood in the light of sonny brakes,
Where the bloom was deep and blue;
And our souls might Joy In the spring time then,
But the joy was taint and cold— •
For it ne'er could give on the youth again
Of hearts that are growing old.

Wy leprosy which debauchery and licentiousness
entail as their curse upon their innocent offspring.
Oh God ! that helpless and unconscious infancy
should thus canal into this sorrowful world with

It is in the afternoon, and many of the inhabit
ants and frequenters are absent. The reception
room is furnished with wooden beaches, and one
corner is garnished with a bar, behind which bar
ricaded with broken lipped bottles and sixpenny
tumbler, stands the bloated mistress of the house,
ready to administer drugged brandy at any 'price
from three cents to a dollir,a glue, according to
the stage of intoxication at which the customer
has arrived. Half a dozen disgusting wretches
who ought to be women, are lounging . upon the ,

ly suffering.. Once she was beautiful and joyous
and innocent, and her voice rang, and her eye
flatbed gladness around her path. She bad a
husband, too, and a darling daughter. Her hus
band was poor, while she had been bred in splen
dor and extravagance. The girlish romance in
the height of which she had eloped with her poor
lover, subsided in a year: in another, the hero
lover had become the hated husband. Her pas
sion for dress and admiration, subdued so long,
broke out afresh, and with ten-fold force. The
rich lecher,, ' on the hunt for spoils, found her, and
she becames willing victim to vanity-'more than
lust. She was beautiful and fascinating, and her
paramor desired her all to himself. There is
break in the history here. - But at any rate, her
husband disappeared, and she dashed out into a
brief season of guilty pleasure. Some said the
poor man had been murdered, and others that be
had drowned himself. But nobody ever made

off: The woman was deserted in a few months—
who could be faithful to such a monster?—and

haunting memories of a living death. Such, in

Saxon Race:—•'This Anglo-Saxon race, inhab

activity ; I mean activity in all industrial pursuits
and all that relates to polities. In thole matters,
industry end politics, it far surpasses any former
nations. This race has more practical sense, it
seems to me, than any attar race has or had. It
has nut the sublime rev, VIICI3 for Goal which so
wonderfully marks the Hebrew nation, and so
adorns every page of this blessed book. It has
nut the love of betuty which appeared in the
Greeks ! It has not the terrible petition and genius

the profound thought of the Germans, nor that
mercurial brilliancy, love of glory and martial
spirit of the French; bat in plain and pracili al
sense, in industrial activity and political sagacity,
it is superior to any or all these. This race is
duatrial , and commercial more than military.
Look at its ships all over pie world; its railroads
that cover England, making it as it were a gridiron.
Look at its mills and manufactories that turnout
materials enough to clothe the whole race. In war
this race has always been able to hold its own and
more. Yet it hu a good temper, and takes to
trade rather than fighting. When yon *consider
