UP
OLD HtmrUREV ON THE GAY 0?
YOUTH.
-It is said that "men are but children
fully grownand if I were to be asked in
what chilJish amusements they indulge
more* than another, I would say in the game
of bubble blowing. We begin to bMw our
bubbles early in childhood, and we keep i;
up with li,tk> intermission to old ago.
With what delight does the young urchk
gas; on the glittering globe of soap nnO
water that he has fairly launched into the air
while standing on a four foot wall ! There
it goes ! mounting up high wi n the bre< zi
that Wows, and again descending low. Out
moment as high as the house, and at anoth
? r almost touching the ground. {)nward
onward-1 it holds its course, escaping ever}
n anger, tiH at last it hursts as it strike^
ngamst the edge of the tombstone in an ad
joining church-yard.
The btibbi* s of our after years, too, heu
a strong family likeness 10 those of our child
hood, oome burst as suori as blown. S.nn
vanish suddenly in the air ; and if any <
them mount over the church-yarJ wall
thcfnre sure to disappear amid the tombs
"Wishng" is a losing game to all wh
play at it; and yvl who is there that alfc
geiher refrains ? I never oeard but of on
man, who could say. % I h ive learned i
whatsoever siato ] arn therewith* to be cor
tent," Pint. tv. 11.
Let u& Hike n stripling from among til
many win>are, at lies moment, banquettin
on the airy food of future grea'ness, wh
are, in o'b'T word^, engaged in bubble b!ov
ing. and enter for a moment into his goMe
dreams. It is true he may be poor; hi
i be Rothschilds were not always rich, thou^
at Ian they amassed millions: He has heat
of Wilmington, a poor friendless lad, qui
ting London with his bundle in his hair
and turning baei: again to wealth and ri
nown, beckoned by the belts ringing o;
mus.cuily, as he fancied, the words,
"Turn again, Whittington,
Til rice lord mayor of London."
Why, it is very possible that some da
he mnv be as great a man as Whiulng'oi
who had only a cat with which to make h
fortune. Not that he has at present an
very bright prospects before him in real life
but that only renders the more bright t!i
vision of bis fancy.
Weil, tlien, it is 11 settled thing \v*th hit
that he w ill be a merchan\ and sad the sec

in a ship of his own, carrying out ocaus i
barter with Africans for ivory and os:rie
feathers ; and bales of c!o:h to exchange f<
gold. There is no preventing h-s futui
prosperity; he will soon become rich in h
own imnginaiion^and ride in a co'ich ar
six!
And now the bubble is at its height /What
a pity that he cannot keep it in tl
air/ Alas, down it must come, breakir
ngainst the very ground. The poor !t
works at a trade, marries early, has a !ur$
family ; his health fails him, his friends lb
sake him; want springs upon him like t
aimed man, he becomes Sick and infirr
nod ho receives pay ftoin tlv parish.
Or suppose his youthful dream to bo <
another kind; his bubble, though equal
frail with that f have already blown forhin
may take a different direction. He is stud
ous and fond of books, and it may bo thi
he is poetical. Say that Chevey Chast
or the ballad of the Children in the Wooi
first lures him to the pathways of poesy. H
reads, grows abstractive and irrtnginativ
and "mutters h's wayward fancies'* as I
Goldsmith wins him, Cowper ar
Montgomery delight him, Gray fires liir
ami Byron works him up almost to frena
and it is welt if not to moral evil. Like
ship with no ballast and much sail he pu
sues his course. He yearns for an earth
immortality. There h?ve been Sliakspetfrc
and Miltons, and Ossians, and Homers/Why
may there not be again? What
ch iightful dung to publish a volume of ui
rivalled poetry; to be lauded by reviewer
to be sought bv booksellers, to be court?
by the great, and be highly estimated by th
wor'd!
Thus he goes on wasting his life in ur
profitable dreams; but s*>e! the bubb1
burst at last. He hasfeasred his mind, an
famished his body ; unable to conform I
the common-place usages of life, or to pei
form its duties, he is crushed by troubli
With an intellect superior to those aroun

Or, p*?rhnps, he has read books of trave
and wondrous advantages by sea and lain
and is resolved to travel; why should nc
