I have often in a few weeks I expect in riialie a visit, to my Um: 3 Dr. Smilli, and shall have the opportunity it it is your pleasure, OI renewing ou’r ac- quaintance. I can scarcely think so long a time has passed since I saw you, for it seems only like a dream But when i mark [he time, look at the change in myself, and those who have grown up with me. I know it is reality that so much time has droped into «:terniw.

How many thets who were traVelling on Wlli’l us thmugh life have dropped of} one bv (me, and a generation 0t children have stepv ed terth on the arena of life with age and evperience on their brows for the workers oi'ourland, Nothing perhaps more than such retrospec- tions as these, brings more force- ahie t0 the the mind the truth, that But enough of this, I told you I was free, but I scarcely think you can guess how I intend to use that freedom, then I will lell you: That portion 01 mv life is now over, and with a light heart I stand forth emancipated from the strict rules of college. My time was a severe one, ambition spured me on, and ever kept my eye on that day to which I now have reached, hon- on "able to myself; and encourag- ing to those to whom I owe the privileges which I have enjoyed. When dilllculties stood in my way I laboured to overcome them, knowing with the poet: “ The heights by great men won and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight; But they, while there companions slept \Vere soaring upward in the night.” think; when I reflect upon the large amount oi our short lives that is taken up in acquiring a little know ledge for our after lives. that it will not end with our existence this side of the grave. It so,how much labor goes for nothing ° Who knows but the mind that is taught to soar into the invisrble, will when freed from the body which chains it here below. break forth and reap the benefit ofthose hours ol toil." 'I‘nat lime which has elapsed since I saw you, no doubt has made a great change in you. I have afien ll’zought of van, and of the happy times we spent together. I know from the general order 01 things, you will not. be the lime girl I once knew; and! ollen fall into deep speculations about your manners and appearance, in your new era of life. My life latle‘rly has been a very busy one, but the manner in which my labours have been crowned with success; I feel that I have been amply repaid for me many The queslion has often of late arisen in my mind, ‘ should old ac~ quaimance be forgot 7.’ and invari- abiy has been followed by the ans- wer, No. I am almost led to Eup- pose that your answer will be the same. i know you will be much surprised, but I hope not of- tended, at the receipt of this letter lrom one, who, though time and circumstances has placed in the position ol'a stranger, trusts that, the memories of the past when awoke, will claim a portion (ii that true and forgiving spirit which i know you possess, and let my siu‘ if there is any, be quietly allowed to drop into oblivion, as one of the l'otlies olyouth.

One day while in the shop watching him hammer- ing out a large piece of iron, he said to me, ‘ You see Charley, here is a, large piece of iron, rough and shapeless, I wish to make it smooth ; and turn it into the shape olthat one'you see on‘the floor; to do so I must strike in such a way‘ that every blow will {all with eflect. lt will not do to strike here and there at random, but every blow must be in the proper place If one does not do‘, another must folâ€" low until it is properly done. Now Charley, that is the way you must do, if vou wish to get up in the world; strike mv boygstrike with effect, strike at the proper plaoe, until that at which you strike ishall receive‘tlie proper shape, then when your life is through, your achieve- ments will be a piece of finished workmanship. Thoth generally so cheerful,there .were times when the spirit of mel- ancholy would lrght unon him, and give indications of great thought almost to great to hear. I was in the shop with him one eVening when he was closing, and as we were walking home |( gmher, [saw lights oi many houses on every side, and I said ‘ which of those lights are yours Willie? He ans- wered not for a while, but then with a lalterinq voice which I shall never forgethe said I have no light Charley, there is no one there to light for me, no little leet to meet me at the door; lsaw'him wipe a tear trom his eye, then laying his hand upon my shoulder he said, Charley you are as yet but upon the threshold of life and know but little about it. Take the advice of one who ts nearly titroflgh. Stake not your happiness _%m7_tbi‘ng Yours as ever CHARLES SMITH. us than Popular Opinion.” Yes Charley, such is life, we are all passing; on, making" way for those who tread behind. But don’t say change, people say l change, that I am growing old, and all such stufi"; because my hairs have become frosted by time, and his share has been making furrows ‘on my brow, but this poor time beaten frame which you see is no more me, than this old shop. It is only the place in which I live, and when it shall fall to dust from when it came ; Yea when time itself shall be swallowed up ,in eternity, I will be as young as ever. Bless me Willie! you always have something fresh. Fresh ! and you have been to college ,for five years, and they never told you jthat, my! oh, my! 1 Yes Willie, quite fresh I But how 'do you reconcile your theory with phrenology, physiognomy &c. If a man's body is not a part of him, you could nol more tell him by appearance, than you could by the house in Which he lived. Yes Willie,l think l have. seen all that is left; but what a change a lew years will make. I was walking this morning through the grave yard, and read here and there the names of those who were. then lea‘clmrr men in our village. I made enquiries for many who were then younger than myselfiand heard that one was gone one way, and one another filling various situations of life, and but, few are left to give me. a welcome here. I went into the school and found my- self a stranger; another generation had taken the plum: of the one I had formerly seen there ; and the thought came names my mind. 'thev too must pass on, and such is life.” O Ihank God I am we“, and as happv as I deserve. Have you been round yeg to 300 all your old friends? ‘ Several days after Charles‘ ar~ rival at his Uncle's, he made on- quiries about his old friend Willie the blacksmith; and on hearing that he was well, and still at the same place, he set out for the pur- pose of paying him a visit. On dra .ving near the shop the old man saw him, and ran forward to meet him, exclaiming ‘God bless you my boy, is that you? I heard you were in the neighbourhood, but thought you had forgotten all about me. How are. you? I hope you you are well; you look so; mv stars but you are grown; and a little HIUthClIC‘. too, I declare ! How are you again? Never halter in my life. How are you Willie. I am happy once more 10 see your pleasant face. It is n01 necessarv to enter linlo any particulars in lhls part of the slow, snffim It to say Charles Smith and Clara Jackson again met; and the meeting was' as happy as anticipated. Old haunts Were again found out; old scenes awoke to life, With all the glee of their younger years. as iflhe hand ()ftlme had ‘nnt touched their brow. And why not? i: ]S true lheylwere no longer children; but why should it be our duly as soon as a law The rest of their conversation having nothing to do with our story we neeri not give it. Miss Jackson. iooked forward with pieasure to the lime she Would he able to meet her friend wishing it would come much sooner. But no person need to wish time swifter on the wing; for those scenes which we wait. for in the futitre. will be soon laid at our feet, and as quickiv left behind among the things that were. And the present occasion was no excep. tion. The few months passed awav, and Charim Smith was ar- rived in the vi!lage of Camden. 1‘ All men think all men morlal but themselves,’ so every person lhinks hnmher person forum-a but himself. but I do not think so; no doubt. thoughts are burning, in the mind of almost every individuals giving their influence, to eilher jay or sorrow, asihey may be connect- ed, which those who knew of thir birth, suppose long since to be choke-d in Ihe gull of oblivion.

A gentleman dreams that he had enli<ted for a soldier, joined his regiment, deserted, was apprehended, carried back, tried, condemned to .be shot, and at last led out for execution. After all the usnal preparation, a gun was fired, he awoke with the report, and found that a noise in the adjoining room had at the same moment produced the dream and awakened him. A friend 01‘ Dr. Abercrombie’s dreamt that he had crossed the Atlantic, and spent a fort} night in England. In embarking on his return, he felt into the sea, and awakenâ€" ing in the fright, he found that he had , not been asleep ten minutes, l RAPIDITY or lIIOuGIlT IN DREAM- ING.-â€"-It would appear as if a whole se- ries of nets, that would really occupy a long lapse of time, pass ideally through the mind in one instant. We have in dreams no true perception of the lapse of time. The relations ofspace as well as of time are also annihalntcd, so that while almost an eternity is compress’od into a moment, infinite space is traversed more swiftly than by real thoughts. 'l'llore are numerous illustrations on this 'heayynmmden doors, apparently ' ~ progress, but which as you approach them are swung noiselessly aside by some unseen agency. You pass the stableâ€"glorious realization of your childhood's dream of Ali Baba and the Forty 'l‘lteivesâ€"â€"where a. score of stalls are cut out of a rock, and the whole long apartment is iighted byasingle flickering lamp; you step aside more than once in the galveries to make way for the long trains olemall waggons or tubs which go swiltly by you m the darkness, their approactt being her-l :ulded‘ by the songs of the lads who who watch over them ' and at 1 length you reach the act ual work- ings ol the pit.

Afterwards you see more hewers at their lonely work, and you are told that 90 of them are at the present moment la- hourinz in the vast silent, pit, the workings at which ramify for miles through the earth. l [NSIDE A COALMINE.â€"-Tl‘y to jimagine yourself at the loot of a tshatt some 600 leet in depth, great galleries or passages stretching away on every side to an apparent- ly tnterminable length. Even bv the light. of the furnace which is burning fiercely close to where you are you can see but a very short way along these paSSagcs. and your imagination conjures up all man- ner ol'hideous shapes out of the darkness. You see, however, that they are very low : that their walls and the wooden props supporting the rool'arc covered with curious white and brown fungi ; that the floor is thick with mud and water, and that at short intervals there are l Well my dear fellow, can’t you tell a {person by the house he lives in ; when you pass Dick Tabbots, down by the gate, and see the slovenly door yard, , broken fences, old clothes hanging through the windows to keep out the cold, no wood pile, no pig, no poultry, no anything round to speak of prosperi- ty; you know at once the kind ofaper- son lives within.

From the snows of Labrador in the north, to the Coral Islands of the south; from the plains of India in the east across lAfrica and Europe, and on to the rocky mountains of the far west; when the sun ushers in this day of the Lord, .it ushers in a day of worship for all ranks and conditions of men. On this day tens of thousands oanristian ministers read from the Bible, and offer up prayer in the midst of millions who gather round them, listening to their words, or joming in their devotion, while angels bear the mighty hallelujah chorus of praise rising from the earth to the throne of God. THE CHURCH AND THE SABBATH.-â€" This characteristic feature of the first day of the week is one of the most ' re- markable in the history of the world. In mountain recesses, in rural hamlets, in hoary cathedrals, and humble chapels, in ships for ofl'on the sea, in the distant wilderness settlement, amidst the ‘most civilized nations, and amongst the rudest barbarians, wherever the christian com- munity exist, there, 'as a rule, is found THE HUMAN EYn. -â€"r The language of the eye is very hard to counterfeit. You can read in the eyes of your companion, While you talk, whether your arguments hits him, though his tongue will not con- fess it. There- is a look by which a man shows he is going to say a good thing, and a leuk when he has said it. Vain and forgotten are all the fine offices of hospitality, if there is no holiday in the eye. How many furitive invitations are avowed by the eye though dissembled by the lips; A man comes away from a. company; he has heard no important remark, but if in sympathy with the so- ciety, he is cognizant of" such a stream of life as has been flowing)r to him through the eye. There are eyes that give no admission into them; others are liquid, and deep wells that men might fall into; others are oppressive and devouring, and take too much notice. There are asking eyes and asserting eyes, eyes full offaithâ€" some ofgood, some of sinister omen. ABEAUTIFUL €3TY.â€"Batavia, the capital city of the island of Java, is a brilliant. speeitnen of Oriential splendour. The houses, which are as white as snow, are placed one hundred feet back. from the street, the intervening space being filled with trees literally alive with birds) and every variety ol plants and flowers. Every house‘ has a piazza in front. and is deco- rated with very beautilul pictures; elegant lamps, cages, &c., while rocking-chairs,lounges, and otto~ mans, of the nicest description, furnish luxurious accomodations for the familyâ€"who sit there morn-1 ing and evening. At night the city is one blaze of light from the lamps. The hotels have grounds of eight and ten acres in extent around them covered with fine shade trees, with fountains, flowerâ€"gardens. 8:0. In- deed, so numerous are the trees, 'the city almost resembles a forest. The rooms are verv high and spa‘ eious, without carpets, and but few curtains. At daylight, coffee and tea are taken to the bed rooms, and again at eight o'clock light refresh- ments. At twelve breakfast is serv- ed, and at seven dinner. Coffee and tea are alwaysready. day and night. No business is done in the middle ofthe day, on account of the heat. The. nights and mornings are cool and delightful; birds are singing all night. The thermom- eter stands at about eighty-two de- degrees throughout the year. The island ofJava contains a population 01 ten millions. The island abounds with tigers, leopards, ana- Condas, and poisonous insects of all kinds. The finest fruits in the world are produced in great pro- fusion.
