THE COLUMBiA PHONIX. -- T-? ~ ; r ' {Original.]' **. - What's .Left? On! t hus e^pell'd"from Eden's bowers, Where all was love ?nd ^joy of 3'ore, Shall I agata seek other flowers, And peril all my peace "ojiee mere? Siiiic iu the lure of luscious eyes, Yield to the spell itt muslo's charms, And dream again of Paradise lu woman's love and woman's arms? . V\ ii at tho h er sm iie be beaming .bright, "And soft lier voice as music's own, " The soul once reft of loving light, Kuet make its weary way alone. ThS1 victim long of mocking bowers, . *Jt W li ?re wo was through illusion taught, ' . He weil may dread lest other flowers Shall sting with thorns he never sought Wha, with bis memories of the past, In midnight hours, a mournful throng, t. But trembles lest tho trumpet's blast . ' Succeed the s wee test spells of song!. Who, .with each, srfibsidingr strain, But feels some memory* keen and sharp? Nor hears anew the shriek Of pain, " lu all the pauser^of the harp.. Difficulties. ?v^ry man in the cou rae of his lift will meet with difficulties and the only diffe? rence among men is bow they overcome them.' A young man may b?^. very egre? ts* fal to. inj are no one.- He may settle punctually with his tailor and washerwoman .md square accounts with his landlady once a week;. He may make justice and punc? tuality the study of his whole life, and. yet in spite of ali, he will occasionally fi .d* . h i niself* assailed, as if he were attempting to injure a?d defraud the whole creation. The more he refrains from cheating others, the more others seek to cheat him,' while MOJJ unfrequently the selfish schemer will be the more popular, man. The very fact that ?he is peaceably disposed will often induce ?thers: to molest him. So that certain number'of quarrels and annoying circum? stances to get into in the collrae of bis life andi the real question is how get * through them and out of them to the best ad vari tag* . It will be hard to persuade men of what is unquestionably the great aud eternally true method of treating" those who are injurious and Unjust in their fulfilment of any of the relations of life-i.% e.. to poc&t the wrong *as quietly as possible. Persona who are ^gireatly and deliberately unjust, are really too low for the notice or retaliation; of? a just man. It is certainly no reflection on the character of a gentleman, if he decline - to fight any drunken blackguard he may meet in the street, preferring to step out oi . his way and give up. the ground. This is the cady safeaway of dealing with the unjust and injurious. Get out of their way; hav< nothing to do with them in future.

Besides, they will have arts and tricks that will give their the advantage-T-Hrta that foti cannot prac tice, and would not if you could. ' Tbev can lie and libel and defame. What then' ?, Shall wrong go unpunished or encouraged? j By no means-only step aside and wait a little. , ' _ POOR SOIL.-An inquisitive Yankee was_j stand in ?* at the tavern door, in the lower part of Jersey, watching a funeral pass by.
