I often think cuch tottering t‘orm 'I‘hat. limps along in life's decline. Ullcc here It heart in: young. us worm. As i‘ull ol'iilli: limits as miiic! And each has hail its ill-cam ul'joy, Its own uncqulilcd. pure romance; Commencing \vllcu the blushing boy First tllrill'il at lovely wolilau'a glance.

And each could tell his title ot‘youth, \\'ould think its iiccncs of love evince More passlon, more unearthly truth 'I‘han ally tale before or since. Yes! they could tell ot'tentlcr lays, At midnight pcuu'il ill classic .sllltllci, 01‘ days more bright than modern days— And maids fairer than modern maids.

()t' whispers ill a willing car; of hi is on ablushing check, Each kiss, each whisper far too dcur Our nmilern lips to give ilr speak. Ut‘passious too untimely i~rils.~‘il— itt‘ passions sliglltcd or’bctraycih- ()1 kindred spirits carly lost, And buds tllat blossomed but. to fade.

()I‘bcaming cycs and trustees gay, I‘Ilastic t'orui lillil uohle brow,

And forms that have all passed away, And left them wllat we see them now.

And is it thus—is human love .N'o very light and frail ii thing?

And must youth's brightest vision more Forever on ’l‘ime's restless wing?

Must all the eyes that still are bright And all the lips that talk oi bliss,

And all the forms so lair to sight, Hereafter only come to this?

Then wlult are illlcarth's treasures worth, If we at length must lose them thus—

Ifall we value must on earth live long must fade away from us?

A NIGHT ADVENTURE AT SEA-

A short time since I happened to be ill Valparaiso. where I made the acquaintance iil‘an American, one 01‘ thiI olllei-rs oi the l'liitcd Slates whaliug<ship Nantucket. which had run in from hcrlishillggrounils Pacific. to obtain a supply ot wati-r - sh provi " ’ and one day. iii talking over the ill 'i-llt. events of Illtt -. which had la. ed two years. he.
