A murmur, wafted from that glorious shore,

Of streams that water banks for ever fair, And voices of the loved ones gone before,

More musical in that celestial air 2-Bryant.

3631. YOUTH. Sedateness in

SOMETHING of youth I in old age approve,
But more the marks of age in youth I love.
Who this observes, may in his body find
Decrepit age, but never in his mind. -Denham.

3626. YOUTH. Importance of education in

'Tis granted, and no plainer truth appears,
Our most important are our earliest years :
The mind, impressible and soft, with ease
Imbibes and copies what she hears and sees,
And through life's labyrinth holds fast the clue
That education gives her, false or true.-Cowper.

3632. YOUTH. Thoughtlessness of

We were Two lads that thought there was no more behind, But such a day to-morrow as to-day, And to be boys eternal.-Shakespeare.

3627. YOUTH : misspent.

O MAN ! while in thy early years,

How prodigal of time! Misspending all thy precious hours,

Thy glorious youthful prime !-Burns.

3628. YOUTH. Perils of

Fair laughs the morn, and soft the zephyr blows,

While proudly riding o'er the azure realm In gallant trim the gilded vessel goes ;

Youth on the prow, and Pleasure at the helm;
Regardless of the sweeping whirlwind's sway,
That, hush'd in grim repose, expects his evening

prey.-Gray.
Gay hope is theirs, by fancy fed,

Less pleasing when possess'd;
The tear forgot as soon as shed,

The sunshine of the breast.
Theirs buxom health of rosy hue,
Wild wit, invention ever new,

And lively cheer of vigour born;
The thoughtless day, the easy night,
The spirits pure, the slumbers light,

That fly the approach of morn.

Down the smooth stream of life the stripling darts,
Gay as the morn : bright glows the vernal sky,
Hope swells the sails, and passion steers his course.
Safe glides his little bark along the shore,
Where virtue takes her stand : but if too far
He launches forth beyond discretion's mark,
Sudden the tempest scowls, the surges roar,
Blot his fair day, and plunge him in the deep.

Porteus. 3629. YOUTH. Rashness of

Youth is ever apt to judge in haste,
And lose the medium in the wild extreme.

Hill. 3630. YOUTH : returnless.

Alas! regardless of their doom,

The little victims play;
No sense have they of ills to come,

Nor care beyond to-day;
Yet see how all around 'em wait
The ministers of human fate,

And black Misfortune's baleful train.
Ah! show them where in ambush stand,
To seize their prey, the murtherous band :

Ah, tell them they are men !-Gray.

THERE are gains for all our losses,

There are balms for all our pain, But when youth, the dream, departs, It takes something from our hearts,

And it never comes again. We are stronger, and are better,

Under manhood's sterner reign; Still we feel that something sweet Follow'd youth, with flying feet,

And will never come again.

O life ! how pleasant in thy morning, Young Fancy's rays the hills adorning! Cold pausing Caution's lesson scorning,

We frisk away, Like school-boys at the expected warning,

To joy and play.—Burns.

Something beautiful is vanish'd,

And we sigh for it in vain ;
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth and in the air,

But it never comes again.----Stoddard.

Ah! who can say, however fair his view,

Through what sad scenes his path may lies Let careless youth its seeming joys pursue,

Soon will they learn to scan with thoughtful eye The illusive past and dark futurity.

H. Kirke White.
