BY M In childhood's bright and sunny hours, We loll in pleasure's sweetest bowers, And pluck tho flowers which round us grow, Nor fear the wintry winds which blow. And when to joyous youth we've sped, To seek new pleasures wc are lead; Kueh thorn of life is sweetly hid, Beucath a lovely folding lid. For innocence, and truth, and love. Simplicity ami grace Above; Deceptive smiles of wicked men, x, Crown nil our joys nnd pleasures then. Now, 'tit jvthemeof sweetest thought, To livo again, mid pleasures wrought By toil nnd sorrow?life's rough hand? Which it the lot of nil our kind. Over those scenes, whi<li childhood'* hours 11 nth gilded o'er with roseate lar.vcrs? Cloudless of trouble or of fear, P.iin or passion, grief or enre. We looked from that sweet halcyon day. On jewels sparkling in our way, Which on approach dissolved like snow Before an April sun's bright glow, Aud left us in the ntiry clay, Of manhood's dark and dismal day. <1, that I were but >oung again ! The man of troubles doth exclaim; I'd grasp the moments as they fly, Nor let one unimproved pi*? by. Knell hour in usefulness I'd spelt 1, Not letting sixty minutes end, Without n thought, or wor1, or deed.

If, like precarious, thoughlcss youths. You don't believe nnd use those truths. Those fleeting momei ts swiftly fly, To claim their place with those gone by; Oar sands of life are wearing on, Jvjually swift, and surely home Upon the wings of tir?l.-r-s Time, Who visits every land and clime.

Tho review is an ably wiitten paper,and we subjoin a few extracts. After referring to a statement made by Mr. Hanks, "that the people of I lie I nited Slates, in in, \e.ir 18o0, will give tolhowoilJ rs their jh>ilion of the :ndu-tii:il product of the human race for 11/-Jin hmulrrd millions of dollars," Mr. Kuggles proceeds : If the North produced tho whole fortyfive hundred millions, and the South did nothing whatever but keep the black race in subjection, it would not follow that the South should he excluded from all participation in the government; for if. as some contend, li.o black race he nothing but a burthen on the community which contains it, the frceimn of the North should he thankful to the South for bearing the whole of the burthen, and thus leaving them unfelieud to accumulate that foity live hundred millions annually.
