YOUTH AND AGE.
I often think each tottering form
That liiiips along in Iife’s decline.
Once bore a heart as young, as warm,
As full of idle thoughts as iniue !
Attd each has had its dream of joy,
His own ttncqutilfd pure romance;
Coiiuncttcing when the blushing boy
First thrills at lovely woinau’s glance.
And each cotild tell his tale ofyouth;
VVouId tltiiik its scenes oflovc evince
More passion, more unearthly truth,
'1‘han any tale before or since.
Yes! they could tell offender lays
At midnight pernied in classic shades,
Of days more bright than modern days-
And maids more fair than modern utnidl.
Of whispers in a willing ear,
Of kisses on it blushing cheek;
Each kiss, each whisper far too dear,
For iuoderii lips to give or speak;
Of passiotis too untimely crossed.
Ofpassons sliglted or betrayed-
Of Iriudrctl spirits early lost,
And buds that blossomed but to fade.
Of beaming eyes and tresses gay,
Elastic foriti and noble brow,
And forms-——that-all have passed away,
Aitd left them what we see them now!
And is it tltus, in huinttu love
So very light and frail a thing?
And must youth’s brightest visions move
Forever oti Tiuie’s restless wing’!
Must all eyes that still are bright,
And all the lips that talk of bliss,
And all the forms so fair to sight,
Hereafter only couie to this ‘I
Then what are eartli’s best visions worth,
If we at lengtlt tuust loose them thus?
If all we value must on earth
Ere long must fade away from us”!

‘ GIVE ME BACK MY HUSBAND.
BY rzuuu BURRI‘l"I‘.
Not many years since, a young marri
couple front the for “last anchored Isle,
sought our shores with the most‘ sanguine

They had begun to realize more titan they

The charmer fastened around his victim all
the serpent spells of its sorcery, and he fell;
and, at every step of his rapid dc-gradation

heart string broke in the bosotu of his coin-

Finally, with the last spark of hope flick-

her wav into one of those shambles where
man is inside such a thing as the beastofthr:
field -bellow at. Site pressed her way
through the bacchaualian crowd who were
tevcling in their own ruin. VVith her bosom
full of ‘that perilous stuff that preys ' upon
the heart,’ she stood before the plundcrer of
her husband’s destiny, and exclatiuied in tones
of startling anguish "Give me back my liu§-

"Ther’s your §_htisband." said the man as
he pointed towards the prostrate wt‘etch.——

SIR ROBERT PEEL.
There are many greater men in Europe
than Sir Robert Peel. M. Guizot is, per-
haps, a greater man. In fact, I doubt if
there be another statesman living who pos-
scsses a more perfect ‘combination of clear
head and sound heart. Transferred at once
from the congenial life of a Professor, Iec-"
luring alternately his pupils in the sorbonne
and the delighted guests around his evening
table, he carried from the chair of philoso-
phy to the chair of state a mind calm, dig-
nificd and elevated far above the chicanery
and c/iarlalanerie of mere politics.—-
Through all the dangers and difficulties of
controlling a headstrong and volatile nation,
he has ever maintained the same enlarged,
but yet conservative policy; a policy com-
bining the enlightencd Iiberalily of Broug-
ham, without Broughnm’s rashness, with
the integrity of Wellington, without Wel-
lington’s over-cautious distrust of the people.
Every day you may see him in the Cham-
ber of Deputies-—a little, olive colored man
with bright sparkling eyes-announcing
and defending in calm, measured tone. the
projects of his administration, or else de-
nounceing the turbulent scheme of his rival,
M. Theirs.
This man, Theirs, too is a far more brill-'
iant man than Peel. He was at one time
the editor of the ‘Na.tio7zcl’ newspaper, and
manifested such surprising tact and energy‘
that he was made Secretary of State. He
has more fire, more clgquence, and more
restive ambition than Goizot, but does not
possess as much of the confidence of the
people, and for the good of France, I hope
he never may.
Now both these mcn,and- probably Met-
