As by five senses we are directed
In all tho bus'ness and jqys of life,
So let five toasts bo now selected,
Five glasses quailed without caro or Btrifi
First fill your glass, and pledge sincere!)
Tqfhcrvho'a ainhe world to you;
T.fi.or vmi loveiand who loves you dearly
Who'mind life's sorrow will slire bo trui
Next lo the "Fiiend who has
proved

In houis of trial when Fortune frowned:
Who 'mid tho cold, pioud.and unthinking
With ready hand and warm heart wat
found.
Third to your Country, the house of child
hood.
riedgo round tho goblet with right good
will;
To foamy river and lofty wild wood,
To busy city, lone glen and hill.
Fourth to the Generous and Open-hearted,
Whoso liberal hand relieves distress,
Who feels for thoso by sorrow smarted,
Whose namo the poor delight to bless.
Now give my fifth toasts a welcome greet
ing. Fill up each glass till it sparkles bright;
Hero's to the Host of this'merry meeting,
To him and his a kind good night.

On Viewing a Picture of Childhood
IMay cm in childhood's sunny hour,
Ere darkening clouds arise;
Ere yet tho beauty of the .lower
Is lost 'neath lluealeuiiig skies-
For when thoso darker hours shall come,
How oft tho thought will stray
Far from tho scenes ye listless roam,
To youth's unclouded day,
When wild with glee and winsome mirth,
Tho fields ye gambolled o'er;
rincking tho buds still in their birth,
To deck some youthful bow'r.
Lniigh on! while all is bright around,
Ere some declining lay
Shall throw its nhtdes on newmado mould
The sunset of thy day. w. T. c.

The effects of perpetual day upon the
uind, feelings and avocations of men, is
tius described in the narrative of liuchaii s
Expedition to tho North I'ole.
Nothing made so deep an impression on
our senses, as Mie change from alternative
lay and night, to which wo had been habit
uated from our infancy, to the continued
day light to which wo wero subjected as
soon as wo crossed the arliclic circle
Where the grounds is but littlo trodden,
even trifles aro interesting, and 1 do not,
therefore, hesitate to describe the feelings
rtith which wo regarded this change,
I'he novely, It must bo admitted, was vcr
.irtfealilc: and tho advance of consUini
daylight, in an uncNploted and naiuiall
liiiisleiuiiti sea, was loo prout to allow us
even to wish for a rslurn ol the alternations
,ibovo alluded lo; but the reluctance we full
to leave the deck when tho sun was shin
mg bright upon our sails, and
i i
retire lo our talmis lo sleep, ueprivcu
us of many hours of necessaiy rest, and
.vhen wo returned lo the deck lo keep
our night watch, if it may be -so called, and
still find the sun gilding lho sky, it soemed
as if the day would never finish. What,
there, first pro'nirscd lo be so gratifying
joon threatened to becomo extremely irii-
somc; and would, indeed, have been a ser
iiius inconvenience had wo not followed
the example of tho feathery tribe, which
we daily observed winging lh"ir way lo
roost, with a clock-work regluariiy.and ro
tired lo our cabin at tho proper
hour, where; shutting out the rays of the
sun, wo obtained thai repose which the
exercise of our duties required. At first, it
will no doubt appear io many persons
that constant daylight must bo a vnlunable
icquisiliqn in every country; oui a nine ie-
iloction will, I think, bo sufficient to-show
ill at tho reverse is really the ctse, and to
satisfy a reflecting mind ihal we cannot
overrate tho blessings we derive from the
wholescmo alenatioils of labor and rest,
which is in a manner forced upon us bj
iho succession of day and night. It is im
possible by removing lo a high latitude, to
witness the difficulty there is in tho regula
lion of time, tho pronencss thatjis felt bj
iho inuolatigaule ami zealous io rivoi iiieui
.elves to their occupations, and uy tlio in
lolent and procrastinating to postpone their
lutics, without being Iruely thankful for
hat all-wiso and merciful provision with
which nature has endowed the more habit
able portions of iho globe.
