'TWAS YESTERDAY. -BY
CHARLES SWAIN.
Twas yesterday !' familiar sound,
Heard ofi as idle breath ;
Yet, pniliel like Mi n around,
It spoke of woe "and death !
A mourner by the pastel stands
In, mystic manlloof decay,
Sltrot'ds in the night ofyeais its bands,
And grasps all life away 1
Iligli from trie boundless vault of Tirqo
The stars of empire veet ;
Twas yesterday' they beam'i! sublime,
The, mightiest in their sphere !
Twas yesterday revealed to Fle '
The rivel crowns of centuries flown,.
Bhnw'd where a Phantom sat in state
Upon the Caesar's throne I .
Sccp.tre.and robe were cast aside!
The ghastly bonks si&od bare;
The rust fed on the, gauds of pride,
The worm held council there.
No answer ronld the phantom givc',-''
Bui to nur cmiJlint ptnyer replied
Tint iwlll be said iif.aU that live'
That 'yesterday' they died 1'
Where are the Grecian conquests now,
The triumphs of her lute!
Dust rests on the Momeric brow,
Her genius is mute !
Where are the glorious that fought
For freedom in the 'Pass ol, Uore!'
Gone; where the mightiest names are sought
With yesterday of yore 1
We hope but what we hope the shroud
itt e t l. . . . I
.vraps .rom our weeping sign. , -
We aim at stars, and clasp the cloud,-
Seek day. arid find but night!
Ah! who with Life's dread woes could cope
If 'twere not for that faith sublime,
Whichsees the Ararat of Hope
Above the floods' of Time!
Whal then is 'Yesterday t'-a key
To wlsiftin most divine !
It is the, ball of Memory,
Wliere Fame's brief trophies shine I
The. Spiritual home of things,
Where intellect immortal beams,
Which lends to thought its holiesls wings
Inspires the noblest themes ! .
A drop Via mirrors forth a worl'd,
Then minjflea with the earth,
A star from Time's vast empire hurled,
xSloW falling from its birth:
A presence with the sacred past
To, warivoursnirils of delavi'1 .
Which saiili 'Prniitl man t,o .day t hot has i
Use well thy little dqyj V J $
TRUST NO,T. MAM.
Trust not rnan for he'll deceive yon,
Tresch'ry is his sole intent,
First he'll court you then he'll leave you,
l'oor, deluded to lament.
Formd'liy "nature to undo Vt,
They escape our utmost heed :
Oh J jinw humble when. they woo us.
But how proud when they succeed !
So the Bird, when once deluded,
the fawfefs artful snaie,
Piiies'out lifein cage 'secluded
Fair ones, while you're young, bewareT
TRUST NOT WOMAN.
Trust nof woman, she'll beguile you.
Ail her smiles ate form'd bit' art:
. . . . . .. .i t-
I'irststie ii natter men exue you,,,
Sighing with broken heart 1
Form'd by nature to pursue us,
They outstrip the' fleetest men,
'Ah how sweet they bill and coo us, ,
But.how proud they triumph then.
So the Fist the bait. admiring,
On the Jfr'j'fatal snare,
Gasps out, life, n pangs expiring .
Lovers of jhe book beware !

THE IMAGINATION r

. av v ritrsiciA?. ,
In an early part of my practice, I wds.
called into a neighboiing town to' visit &
patient. It being about the middle of the
day, the gentleman of the house, who was
over sixty years old, invited me to" slop
and dine. While at dinner, he says,
'I don't know as you like my dinner.'
Why, yes,' said 1, 'I do; 1 like it very
well; it is very good.'
I guess,' said he, you don't know what
you are eating.
'Why, yea,' said I"I do.it is some newly
corned beef.'
Ah,' said the old gentleman, 'it is horse
beef.'
I replied, 'I don't believe it.
'It is,' said he; I declare it is some of my
old marc.
,1 was not .much acquainted with him at
that time, I looked at liini, supposing him
to be joking, but could not discover a mus
cle of the face to alter or change. I had
just taken another piece on my plate, & put a
mouthful of the second slice into my mouth
and in fact, it was horsemeatt. sure enough
I could taste it as plainly as I chewed it,
and the more I chewed it the more dis.
agreeably it tasted. I continued picking
and lasting a little sauce which I could
swallow, hut the meat, as the negro said,
'would no go.' I at last gave a swallow as
I do with a dose of physic. I thought that
ahould have thrown the whole contents
()f , ,omach up al lhe ,abe. Ga(. was

1 wl,en d,liner was over5 II be,nS conl
weather, the old man went to amoking and
tell ing stories. At last he said,
'I won't leave you in the.dark about your
dinner. I told you we had horse-meat for
dinner, and so it was. I told you it was
some of my old ma re, and so it was, for I
swapped her away for a seer, and that was
some of the beef.,'
I have ever since been glad that the, old
gentleman put the joke upon me, for I ncver
suuuiu ornerwise nave Known now iar
imagination would have curried mc.

i ne joiiowme iiiieresiiiiir fxtraei.irora a
letter addressed by Colonel Wilkes, Sir Hud
sun Lowe's predecessor in the govertimelA
of St. Helena, to a relative in this country
contains a pithy expression of Napolion's
views about the United Slates:
'in one ol my various conversations
with Bonaparte," wi'tles Colonel Wilkes,
mention wvs.made of the emcgrations from
.England and France to America. I said
casually , Mbat will be a great country if she

will effm-t an entire change in the fice of
the world she has thriven upon our fol
lies.' Determined not to misannrehend
him, I added: 'Yes, the" follies of France
land Ennland. but: the nrimiive follv of
England, in treating her1 with injustice,'
'What.'said, he are you one of those who
think you might have kept her! No, no
the youth' must become a man, the period
must arrive when the boy ceases to sleep
with his mother.' -After a little farther
discussion we were quite agreed in
political' views. This authentic anecdote
marks the peculiar manncr;of the man and
I I lliought would be acceptable lo you.'
