constant resorts of my school-boy days, ' long time

how the recollection of the happy scenes and rend,
niscpnecs of life's young buoyant days would rush

oak, and dark green hickory, a; the face of some old
familiar friend, and recal to mind the light and de

have they passed. It seems but as yesterday al
most, that I was standing at Ihe rostrum of Ihe be
loved but now lamented Dr. McP, reciting for Ihe
first time tho lesson" Drut crearit cirlum el ier

edge and of learning. I stood and gazed upon the
old Academy, the surrounding groves, the particular
true known in boyish, playful sportiveness, as "home,"
in " Prisoner's base." Yes, here stands the same old
building, though I am glad to see it is newly painted

the ttriling lessons 1 have received here, and a half
suppressed, melancholy sigh found utterance, as I

and nimble youth, fearfully dashing up the tall hick

rage over the deep, and to me then incomprehensible
mysteries of Algebra and Mathematics ; und how de

gleeful and happy days, when life was light as a fairy,
and n. mark of Corroding care had been mado upon
my innocent heart.' Blissful, joyous days glorious
even hi their recollection;
While wrapped in this fond reverie of brighter days,
I instinctively turned quickly around a. tho' I heard
the fond, familiar voices of those who joined me in my
school-day sports but all was silence. One by one,

NOTES OF ATRIP TO NIAGARA AND
CANADA.
Trrxton Falls, July, 1 815.
The spot at the Fulls, most particularly pointed
out, in that where Miss Si;idam whs drowned riiniiy
years ago. It is a wicked looking plncn a pulh-wny-
cut on tho side of u wall of rock, always wet.
and but just wide enough for one person to pass.
The rock hangs directly ovrr-head, and tho water,
which falls but u few yards oft", whiils round iu bro
ken waves and foam ut your very feet. In 1KW, a
little daughter of Col. Tiiornk, of Paris notoriety,
was also drowned in -the same place. Tho serving
niun was carrying her in his arms, when, making a
false step, they were both precipitated into the vor
tex, while the parents of the child w-ere but a few
slaps behind, and had to see her curried down, hear
her utter those piercing cries, and die where no hu
man aid could help her. The man clung lo n jag.
god rock, and was saved as if by a miracle. It
muxes the blood creep lo pass Hint awful tomb.
Our road in returning, was along I lie brow of the
precipice, through a grovo of trees, and miiiy'i beau
tiful view of the raging river, as it hurried on its
wsy in so many fantastic shapes, was obtained at dif
ferent points ; but,
Though "Hydropathy" may euro a turtle-aonp.
sinner,
And a lady who 'a pimples, back to loveliness win
her '
Washing out every root of disease that is in her,
The " water" couldu'l " euro" our want of a din-
ner
So we hastened from the sublime of Om Falls, to the
ridiculous of an American Table tl'lnite, with two
hundred people at. work, as if they were chewing
against time, or Iheir lives depended on their rpeed.
Did you ever travel on a Canal, dear reader? If
not, do so for a short distance the first opportunity ;
the difference between it, and all other travelling,
is worth knowing yes, and worth enjoying loo,
when you arc not in haste nor in a hasty mood, (a
mood, by the way, of which the dwellers in this
" area of freedom" are seldom guilty,,'1 even if there
is a Rail road near, wilh engines of thirty miles
peed per hour. The motion is so calm, no jolt, no
jar, and you can read, write, lie down, or walk at
pleasure ; but avoid it at night, and with a crowd, as
you would Punitory. By the help of sundry boats
and stages, I reached Oswego the following evening.
This village is at the mouth of Oswego river, and
on each side of it is a Port of entry, a place of eon.
siderahle manufacturing importance, and much of
the Western supplies from New York pas. through
it The harbor is a good one, and defended from
the La,k storms, by a long and costly Stone pier,
built by the, U. S. Government.
I had longed for a storm on Lake Ontario, but
everything was provokingly calm. The Moon rose
without a cloud, and not evenra ripple disturbed
her shadow in the water. Having paced the deck
until midnight, I retired to the arms of " Murphy,"
as a certain son of Erin called the gentleman who
presided over sleep amongst Ihe Ancients. The
Slearner and the hours moved on, and, awakening,
I found that we were at Lewistown, at the mouth
of Niagara river, and in a few minutes we were in
the Rail cars srt route for the Fails. F. C.
