It is not the place fur bad. men to pon

thoughts, or weal; ones. A man is never
better than when he has the humblest sense
of himself: he is never co unlike the spirit
of Evil, as when his pride is titan lly von
idied. You linger lookidg upon the s tream
of f a ding sun-light that plays :ICtoSz , the

depths below, lit tip win their clouds of
spray ;—yet farther down, yoursight swims
upon the blacl: eddying inases, with whirr;
ribands stream* across their glassy sur
face; and dizzy eye fastens upon the
frail curkle shek.—their stout oarsmen
dwi.milvd to pigmies,—that dance like: atoms

resolves upon the whirl of Time.
your thought, growing broad in the view,

You avow high purposes, and clench them
with Nut:! utterance ; mid your voice like
a sparrow's, is caught up in the roar of the

Great thoughts of life come over you—of its
work and destiny—of its affe'Ctions and du
ties, mid roll down swift—like the river- 7
into the deep whirl of doubt and danmer.—
Other thoughts grander and stronger, like
the continuing rush Of 'waters, come over
you, and knit your purposes together with
their weight, and crush you to exultant fears
and then leap. shattered aml broken, from
the veiy edge ofyour iuteud, itito mists of fear!
The moon comes out, nod gleaming

the night deepens.. The darkness softens
you.; it hangs—like the pall that shrouds
your mother's corpse,—low and
.heavily. to
your heart, It helps your inward grief,
with some outward show. It makes the
earth a mourner ; it makes the flashing wa
ter-drops .so many attendant mourners. It
makes the Great Fall itself a mourner,-and
its roar—a requiem !
The pleasure of travel is cut short. To
ono person of the title company of fellow
voyagers, you bid adieu with regret; pride,
love, and hope point toward her, while all
the gentler affections stray buck to the bro
ken home. tier smile of parting is very
gracious, but it is not after all,, such smile
as your warm heart pines for.

Ten days after, you are wa land to ~tt~d l
the old homestead, with such feelings as it
never called up before. In the days of boy
: hood, there were triumphant thoughts of
the gladness, and the pride. with which,
when grown to the statute of manhood, you
would come back to that little town of your
birth. As you have bent with your dreamy
resolutions over the task of the cloister life,
swift thoughts have flocked on you of the
proud step, and prouder heart, with which
yon would one day greet the old actn:tin
_ taticcs ot buyLood ; at iI you haVt'
your. if cm the jaunty manner with woich
you would meet the old Dr. Billow ; and
the patronizing air, with which you would
address the pretty, blue eyed :k.lade.
I It is late in the afternoon when you come
in sight of the tall sycamores that shade
your• home ; you shudder now lest you
may meet any whom you once knew.—
The•first, keen grief of youth seeks little of
the sympathy of companions; it lies—with
ryScnOti mom—bounded within the nar
rowest'circlos of the heart.. They only who
hold the key to its innermost TeMSSCS can
;te ak comolai ion. Yours will ina!,e a
change ;—as the summer grows in - fierce
heats, the balminess of the violet banks of
Spring, is list in the odors of a thousand
flowers ;--the heart, as it gains in age, loses
eshness, hut wins breath.
