AMATOR NATPRiE, ; 1 " FOX THS MESSENOIH. ' . 0 Reflections. Tlie great peculiarity of our nature gently leads us on, without reminding us of the incomprehensible value of the many golden moments, withj.whtch'we are an graciously visited while acting upon the grand drama of early life. Many are the. facinating scenes of a mundane character, which sweetly rise before tho sprightly infagina. tion of youth ; and which promise men many long revolving years to come. But while we are so delightfully borne on by the fuir -prospects of a protracted life, we should remember that we are surrounded with ten thousand dungcrs, that tre capable of hurrying us to the lonely mausoleum appointed for all livings where tho once warm heart will bo ns cold and lifeless as the mouldering clod of the valley ; and where no boisterous wave of trouble or pain shall ever beat against tnejifeless frame of the departed. There the thrilling war- whoop is never heard there the richly dressed General sleeps upofl-thsame level with the rough soldier "there the riet) man Wies as low as the pauper there the proud J monarch s head rests as low as the poor miserable slave's there the .young and the old, the noble and the ignoble, the blacky nnd the while sleen' tosether. as children of the same-parents of all human ?qfff? 1 gences.
