Pierceth through the clouds of night;
While the flowers ate dewy yet,
Ere the twinkling stars are set:
Ere the strife and stir begin,
Of this world of wo and

Let us pray! when over heaven
Coined the lovely light of even;
When the distant vesper hymn,
Riding through the twilight dim,
On the evening wind sweeps by,
Like an air-harp's melody;
When the distant sea is gray,
At that soft hour—let us pray!
Let mg pray! when Ivinter drcar

Wraps in snow the lofty bill,

With its evening sacrifice;
While the artless prayer they say.

Let us pray! when slumber flies,
And the sad tear dims our eyes;
When there is no voice nor sound
In the midnight stillness round;
When gloomy Fear's forebodings start,
Clouding o'er the mourning heart:

Return to the Scenes of Childhood.
TELL of the proud aspirations of ambi
tion. Trace the glorious achievements of
conquerors. Mark the various projects of
intellectual power. Follow, in their course,
the changes of alternate hopes and tears, in
pleasure or business. Observe how much
of caprice, or passion or dreary thought or
sober opinion, has predominated. Then go
back to the scones and days of. childhood,
, and confess how much dearer is the recol
- ~ • lection of early affections than the present
ikpirattons of ambition. Confess how much
;more affecting to the best emotions are the
Temetnbrances of early hours, then the nov
''Wei,-and changes, and conflicts of mature
• • life. In our days of disappointment and
'adversity, and multiplying vexations, with
What unutterable pleasure do we recur to
the simple joys of childhood? With what
tenacity do we cling to
.days of innocence
and feelings of purity? Pleasure comes to
us with its blandishments, and the charms
of art minister to newly created wants; hut
with our pleasures come pain and anxiety,
and with new wants come new desires.
Love and friendship twine about the heart
with renewed force; but the best objects of
our affection wither and die, and then we
look back to early days, and we ask for the
untorgotten joys of childhood. Wearied
with cares and dissappomted in our expec
,,,ations, memory goes back to other times
;;;.when the heart knew not a painful emotion;
and, in hope to relieve some of the moments
!Mit come to us like the visions of a dream
f-tifter years of absence, we return to the
scenes of early life.
Wo come back to the place where our
youth was passed, and we look ar0...—..4 car
some living object on whit'; our earliest and
- , erest affection.' ';ested. Affiction calls in
vain. Nature is the same, but all else has
faded. In our first view of the once famil
iar scenes, our hearts bound with the rend
voted elasticity of youthful feeling. But
soon, how soon, we'ero admonished that
the vio.orouS fires of youth are nearly burned
4: out: how soon we feel that the companions
of our youth have departed; how soon we
realize that the gay dreams of life, associa
ted with the scenes around us, have passed
away; and that nothing now remains to us
of their former existence but the assciations
that bring the same lovely picture of the
future to other young bosoms of another
generation. We mingle with the people of
another age. We mark the gay crowd
nround us, but we look in vain for the kind
• and smiling laces that once greeted us. We
walk the halls of our former home, and the
solitary echo of our foot-step is the only
sound to which we claim kindred. That is
:< our own. Its solitariness has companion
! ship in our hearts. All else is the particu
r property of another age and generation.
We .e%claiin, "how changed!" Aye, how
f
eh:in :z ed! We, our position, our hopes,
our lot:hugs, our opinions t ,our tastes, our as
sociations? Half a century has passed, and
a whole generation of men, with all their
projects of ambition, and hopes of distinc
tion, and plans for earthly immortality, have
passed to their silent home! But not beau
tiful nature. That is unchanged and un.
changeable; and though age has pressed
upon the vigor of our limbs, and time has
diminished the buoyant emotions of the
heart, the bright scenery around us is still
presenting its renovated beauties. •
Wo have passed far down the stream of
time. We have left the sparkling sources
of the waters that bore us onward. We
have receded, on either hand, from the em-
I snidtmeets and the grr:ssy coaches of its
bo r d ers . We 11!: down the moil
stream. The waters have acquired breadth
and depth, and the verdant banks no longer
disclose the inviting charms and beauties of
lan early voyage. The dim mist of the
waters is about - us, and the sober progress
of our passage brings reality, that the limits
of human life approximate to the confines
of eternity, where the stream of time will
be gathered and lost. But the progress of
human life and pleasure is still for others.
Our children—they commence in the elas
tic hopes of childhood and youth; and inno-
cent pleasures and gay anticipations live in
their bosoms, as once they lived in our own.
We stand upon the spot which was the
theatre of the joys of our youth. We arc
there alone. No living thing claims kin•
drcd to us; and a faint and death•like con
sciousness comes upon the heart, that the
home of our early days is the home of
strangers, and that every tie of early
attachment is severed. The breath
of life is not mingled with tho scene.—
But the blue arch heaven, the towering
bill, the once loved stream, with its gentle
curves and jutting promontories, the shore•
worn pebbles that our inflint arm would cast
upon the unruffled waters, calling into be
ing the successively receding circles that
gave delight to our bosoms—these recall
the almost obliterated events of childhood,
when the voices are hushed in unbroken
ile nc e more dear to us.
But there is one object, which, above all
others, bears to the heart the most afflicting
changes of the past and present. It is the
connecting link between the worthiest joys
of time drawn from filial and parental affec
tions, and the anticipated delight of reno•
-rated love that religious faith presents in a
higher state of being. The grave-yard,
the sad chronicler of names at the sound of
which the heart once leaped, is the only
remetnbrancer that tells of the connecting
abd undying bond that
toe ;Ivin„
wit!) the dead.
,
~ani! the bell tolls, in measured time,
the hour of rest. Its voice speaks of the
evening hour when paron'al benedictions
and childhood's gratitude marked a happy
family: whin the parting words of "good
nigh.," told that they were at pence with
each other and with the world. A tear!
Blest, blest drop, hallowed to the memories
of the departed! When I, too, shall be ga
thered to the narrow houso of the dead,
may a tear, as warm and as sincere as this,
drop upon the green sod that shall cover
me. T. P.

Reautirul Simile.--In one of the literary
notices contained in the KnickerbOcker for
October, the writer has the following apt
remark.—
"It is a task of almost insuperable difli
ruby to transfer the peculiar graces with
which a poet embellishes his work, to anoth
erjlanguage. One might almost as well hope
to gather the dew-drops that sparkle on a
wild-flower, and make them shine as beau•
tifully on a hot-house rose; the element in
deed is (here, but its brightness and beauty
will be seen no more."

inn . fine reflection is to be flitted in tho life
of Herbert of Cherburg: "Every body loves
the virtuous, whereas the vicious do scarce
love ono another." Upon the same sub
ject an Arabian happily observed, that he
learned virtue from the bad, for their wick
edness inspired him with a dictate for vice.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 22d 183 G.
SIR: Sometime, as nearly as I now re
collect, in March 1834, I was riding down
Pennsylvania Avenue, in Washington City,
in a chaise. I heard a carriage driving
very furiously behind me, and turned to the
right to give it space. The carriage turn
ed at a sharp angle and ran directly upon
my gig and horse, broke the gig, and trip-
led up my horse, endangering my life. I
SAW IT WAS THE CARRIAGE or MR. VAN
BUREN, with a white driver, a foreigner,
and an outrider. After having shattered
my gig, they passed and held up a little,
and laughed while I was gathering up the
fragments of my gig. I wrote a letter to
My. Van Burcn stain , * tho facts, observing
that 1 presumed all that he wanted was, to
be informed of them to make The suitable
