Some ere Summer's days were told.

In the Auiumn gray and ctl 1.

Harpy they who went so early

In the flush an 1 joy of youth,
Ere the stiin of eirtli had toucheJ them,

Full of purity and truth.

Happy those who left us later,

In the strength of manhood's primy,

Mid the tumult of life's battle,

Happy all of us who cherish

Hope and courage to the end;
Come our summons late orearlv,

Quotations.

Bi R II. C.

There are a few "unfortunate
passages'' in the works of most
authors that suffer dreadfully at
the hands of aspiring penny-a-
liuers, whose conceptions of their
own abilities exceed the reality,

| and who, by a plentiful use of
thf\se quotations, lift themselves to
I a false position, and bask in the
I sunshine of this reflected glory; —
and this remark applies not only
to a certain class of writers, but
also to a certain class of talkers.
They twist and distort the conver-
sation until they can, with the
least shadow of an excuse, intro-
duce the quotation, and then von
perceive that it was for this very
purpose that they have been
straining the conversation for the
last ten minutes.

That an apt quotation is second
only to an original remark, is cer-
tainly true. That an inapt quota-
tion is second only to total silence,
is also true. The halo of beauty
which surrounds these quotations
is dispelled. From being choicest
morsels of intellectual food, they
are rendered disgusting by being
used as nutriment to jokes. Let
one of these authors describe the
inconveniances of poverty, and we
are lugubriously informed that
"misery makes us acquainted
with strange bed-fellows;" which,
when uttered by Trinculo, was
good, but from the universality
of its application to every class of
disagreeable situations, we are
becoming wearied with it, and it
isgetting to be "'out at the elbows.''
The sentimental hero, suffering
under the effects of first love, an i
wrapt in the sublimits of his "grand
passion." is made to exclaim to

2.

his friends who are solicitous
about his health, "Throw physic
to the dogs — I'll none of it," and
thereby Macbeth is scandalized by
being found in such company.
Cowper shares the miserable fate
of Shakspeare; for this love
afflicted hero is sure to be eternally
sighing for "a lodge in some vast
wilderness, Some boundless con-
tiguity of shade.'' "All went
merry as a marriage bell" at every
party, picnic, political caucus,
stump-speaking and corn-shucking
of which I ever heard. At a
party a "young blood" is sure to
•'trip the light fantastic toe," and
in all likelihood the youth could
not put his foot into a number 8.

What usher, what master of
ceremonies, what petty official
of any description is not apostro-
phized in Shakspeare's

"Oh man, vain man.

Dressed in a little brief authority," etc.

Wi'h these authors a man
" sits under his own vine and
fig tree," in a "land flowing with
milk and honey,'' who is the owner
of a few acres, of a log cabin,
of a few razor-back hogs, of a
brindled cow and half starved
horse. The man probably never
yaw or heard of a fig tree, and to
him fox-grapes Avere the greatest
luxury.

Rains in dry seasons, clear days
in stormy winters, chance visits
from a friend, letters from a sweet-
heart, "checks" from the "govern-
or,' are said to be "like angels'
visits, few and far between." A
}oung lady, in her own opinion,
-casts pearls before swine,'' when

she wastes her precious conve sa-
tion on gentlemen for whom she
cares nothing. What young law-
yer, in his maiden speech, what
4th of July orator in a spread-ea-
gle effort, what young divine with
his pale, classic face, in his first
sermon, does not utter-"thoughts
that breathe and words that burn.''
To how manv homely ladies do
you think Keat's beautiful line —
"A thing of beauty is a joy for-
ever,'' has been applied?

When a student returns home
from the college, if he happens
to be slightly bleached, or a little
pale from having enjoyed a few
nights with his boon companions,
his fond friends dotingly gaze
upon that face —

'•Siekled o'er with the pale cast ot thought,"

when the boy had not a creditable
thought in a month.

Who has not heard of that
flower that

"Is born to blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on ihe desert air,''

until in his desperation he heartily
wishes that some some friend in
whom there was a "drop of the
milk of human kindness" had
strangled Gray when he was a boy.

If ever their was a lie-laden
sentence, it is this: "The tables
groaned with every delicacy of the
season;" for the reporter gener-
ally comforts himself with this
savory remark, if he failed to get
enough, and if there was a scarcity
of edibles.

Every old cracked bell in the
country is made to "ring put a
merry peal," and to tell the truth
one would much rather listen to a

boy picking out a splinter.

if a young lady changes her
sweetheart, it is satisfactorily ex-
plaine 1 by the fact that

"A cl..v {,(' c i" o'e h spirit ol her d e ms,'

Yes, every dismounted fox
hunter offers his -kingdom for a
horse.

A disappointed man is in the
"winter of his discontent" let him
but miss a meal, and

''Ti? ever thus from childhoods hour,
['..«» m-. n iiv 'rudest hopes decay ."

There should be moderation in
every thing.

Tbn V!rdicates I'er Own History.

By J. B. P.

As n rwonf that men love
darkness r ither than light, in
this age of reason and gospel
truth, we hive an h definite num-
ber of infidels. We have a great
many persons, who, if they can
find one passage in the Bible lhat
is obscure to them, that seems in
any way contradictory or incon-
sistant with there own scanty, friv-
olous vh ws. are willing to drop
the whole thing, to discard divine
revelation as a farce. Since the
science of Geology was discovered.
there has been remarkable zeal
displayed by scientific Doctors and
Professors, wading through lake?
and marshes, boggy caves aw1
ravines, digg'ng into beds of peat.
and quarn ine into immense ledges
of rock, a'l simply for the sake of
overthrowing what they consider
their most powerful enemv, tlu

established facts contained in that
Book called the Bible.

Well, in their zeal they have
aided science very greatly, have
brought things to light from the
bosom of the earth, till the rocks
and beds of clay are made to re-
count the history of the world,
and man can almost hold converse
with the remotest ages of the past.

The enemies of the Bible have
been overjoyed at the apparent
discrepancy between the biblical
and geological accounts of the
creation and the flood. But you
Paleontologists. 5011 may take
down your trumpets! You are
not ready to sound your triumph
yet. You are baffled from an un=
expected source! The bosom of
of the earth, whence you draw
your pretended superior wisdom,
is contradicting your statements
and vindicating her own cause and
the cause of revealed truth. The
ancient cities of the Orient that
have been entombed in the indefi-
nite ages of the past, are now re-
vealing to the world-mines of rich-
est treasures; treasures that rise in
the form of ancient records to re-
buke in silent majesty the haugh-
tiness and the assumed wisdom of
the sons of men.

Prof. George Smith, the noted
antiquarian, by means of his ex-
cavations, is causing Nineveh,
the famous city of ancient Assyria,
the celebrat3cl home of Ninus and
Ximrod. the proud capital of -the
land of Asshur," to awake from
her Ions sleep of ages, and speak
to xhe nation- or the nineteenth
century, in tones oT sil nt authority

an.! reproof that the history writ-
ten b\ her contemporary, Moses.
is true.

The < 'haideau tablets, exhumed
from the sites of the cities- of Nin-
eveh and Mesopotamia, reveal to
the world a history o creation and
the flood, (the points so much
doubted by modern sages,) more
antique than the account given by
Moses. And the important feature
of this discovery is its confirma-
tion of Bible history. The ac-
count of creation is substantially
the same, while the similarity be-
tween the biblical and Chaldean
accoivnis of the flood are remark-
ably striking. Of the building of
a huge ship for the preservation of
one man and his family, favored of
God; of the collection of the
different kinds of animals that were
to be taken into the huge ship;
of the country being submerged
by water; of the destruction of the
wicked, etc.

Thus does time vindicate her
own history. Thus does the past
rise up and declare it in the lan-
guage of the dead. Thus does
the earth, whoso revelations were
on the point of being perverted,
plead its own cause in majestic-
awe, proclaiming in vivid terms,
that the world is the work of an in-
telligent Creator, and not the
mere result of the chance evolu-
tions of an indefinite number of
material atoms.

Coleridge's Opinions of Other Authors.

-I think Old Mortality and Guy
Mannering the best of Scotch nov-

'•It seems to my ear, that there
is a sad want of harmony in Lord
Byron's verses."

"Goldsmith did everything hap-
pily."

'•Measure for Measure is the
single exception to the delightful-
ness of Shakspeare's plays. 1 1 is a
hateful work, although Shakspe-
rian throughout.""

"Burke's Essay on the Sublime
and Beautiful seems to me a poor
thing; and what he says upon
Taste is neither profound nor ac-
curate/'

" Luther is, in part, the most
evangelical writer I know, after
the apostles and apostolic men."

"I must acknowledge, with some
hesitation, that I think Hooker
has been a little over credited for
his judgment.''

''Berkley can only be confuted
or answer d by one sentence. So
it is with Spinoza; his premises
granted, the deduction is a chain
of adamant."

"I conceive Origen, Jerome and
Augustine to be the three great
fathers in respect of theologv. and
Bash, Gregory, Xazianzen and
Chrvsostom in respect of rhetoric.

"Galileo was a genius, and so
was Newton: but it would take
two oi- three Galileos mi- Newtons
to make one Kepbtr."

•"Newton's 'Lucubrations on
Daniel and the Revelations' seem
to i i i < ■ little loss tii;1!! mere raving."

"Drayton is a sweet poet: Dan-
iel is a superior man."

■'Schiller is a thousand limes
more hearfif than Goethe,'' — "Goe-
the's small lyrics are delightful."

"Gibbon's style is detestable;
but his style is not the worst thing
about him."

"1 take unceasing delight in
Chaucer. His manly cheerfulness
is especially dclighful to my old
aee."

An Optical Illusion.

Here is a row of ordinary capi-
tal letters and figures: SSSSSXX
XX3333333SSS88S. They are
such as are made up of two parts
of equal shapes. Look carefully
at these, and you will perceive
that the upper halves of the char-
acters are a very little smaller than
the lower halves — so little that an
ordinary eye will declare them of
equal size. Now turn the page
upside down, and without any
careful looking, von will see that
this difference in size is very much
exaggerated ; that the real top half
of the letter is very much smaller
than the bottom half.

tvOh for a life-perpetuating bath in
the fountain of everlasting youth!"
sighed Juan Ponce de Leon, hoary
with an age spent in pursuing
the phantom riches of earth. The
end of life gloomed the prospect
a little before, and, with the tenac-
ity and pertinacity obtained in the
life he had led. he prosecuted his
seacu for this mythical fountain
penetrating the dense, tropical for-

ests, with luxuriant foliage and
thick underbrush, presenting
scenes rivaling even the lovely
wile of Cashmere ; crossing well-
nigh interminable deserts, wading
the trackless swamps of marshy
Florida, pressing on dauntlessly,
treating difficulties seemingly in-
surmountable as the hurricane
treats the opposing feather, stop-
ping not to enjoy the most para-
disiacal of landscapes, only notic-
ing signs of increasing infirmities
by becoming more zealous than
ever in his pursuit of the never-to
be-attained goal. But when lying
in Death's grasp with a hostile
arrow through his body he relin-
quished his fond longings.

A more uncertain tale is that of
the search after the fountain of
Oblivion. Many a poor memory-
stabbed wretch longing in vain to
quaff long and deep draughts of
this lethean fount, the memory
quencher, spent numberless weary
hours in the palmv days of Roman
splendor in exploring the mount-
ains, vales, hills and plains of Italy
for the misty myth.

In Arabia about eight hundred
years B. C. , a false science devel-
oped itself, called Alchemy. The
object sought by the alchemists
was a liquid, which, like the magic
touch of Midas would transform
base metals into gold. Nor could
the alchemist on leaving the scen^
of his labors deny, that he had
grasped after a delusive shadow.
Yes, even the reputed father of
this art, Hermes Tri.«megistus is
considered a myth, and so has
proved the far-famed philosopher's

The following is advice given to
a student attending our college by
his father:

More that half the battle in pre-
paring for debate is to know where

stono, so much coveted. Actua-
ted by motives like those of Ponce
de Loon, man has always struggled
for life and even attempted to baf-
fle the designs of the Creator
by spending life-times of unmit-
igated labor searching after an
Elixir Vitce, a potion of which
dread liquid would render man
immortal so far as disease is con-
cerned. But man is the prey
of disease as formerly and no elix-
ir has been discovered.

But it is to be noticed that these
persons mentioned had for their
aim that which is contrary to Na-
ture's laws, and their failure was
deserved and just. But when a
student in his chase after knowl-
edge, disregards impediments, de-
termined to '-make a comb else
spoil a horn." he will not be de-
ceived by the mirage but reach
and possess himself of the fountain
of wisdom. Tennyson, in that
strange, wierd idyl "The Holy
Grail," represents several knights
as setting forth in quest of the
Holy Grail. But few of them
saw it, although all agonizingly
pursued the phantom. But wis-
dom is not a "Holy Grail," and
instead of fleeing, courts the de-
votion of mankind, and in the
quest of her all can be Galahads
and none need be Percivales.

to go for the information needed.
\ erify all references when practi-
cable, so that if possible it never
happen that what )ou have assert-
ed as fact he overthrown. Prov-
erbs, terse and pertinent quota-
tions from able authors, ancient or
modern, can often be used with
telling effect. Get into the habit
of treasuring up facts in your
memory. The more of these you
have at command the more ready
and effective wiil you be in debate.
Xever rely upon any readiness of
words to help you through an ar-
gument. Prepare thoroughly be-
forehand. Have your matter wise-
ly arranged. To get an argument
accurately mapped in your mind is
a large part of the labor. Web-
ster, Sumner and others of that
calibre have owed their celebrity
as much to dogged, hard, close
work as to any towering genius or
power of mind. Argument is noth-
ing but the setting forth of existing
relations between things. In ev-
ery step we affirm one thing to be
'rue iu consequence of its relation
to some other thing known to be
true. Something mw t be granted
before any thing can be proved.
Elence the axioms underlying all
argument or demonstration in
Mathematics. Political Economy,
Moral Science etc., all have axioms
on which all discussions relating
to th< 'in must rest. In argument
prove rather than assert. Put
hard, crushing arguments in soft
words. Ever be respectful, court-
eons to opponents; indulge ridicule
but little, and then ridicule things
not persons.
