It is indeed .pieasant though, whn the vision of
thosft day rises fulTiO;T!ei': nd ye see how the
world a changed us; when wesechnwolreoldf
passed tway frem nature, and, how much less magic
and beauty there is in life itself, one almost wishes
f hat he had ,n9t been so happy. . Wje were all of, us
happy then, for we could not be otherwise. We had
just planted our feet on the shores of existence, and
every; thing was new and wonderful around us.
We had 110 long, sad ; past, to look hack npon, filled
up with folly and indiscretion. There were no dark
years behind us, scattered over with wrecks of hap
piness, beneath which the heart lay crushed and bu
ried. . Life was all before us, and it seemed to stretch
On without u shadow. The world was full of novel
ty, beauty and enchantment. .;
. But it is pleasant, sometimes, to forget that we are
changed ; to lose ourselves in the illusion, that we
are young and lightThearted ; ignorant of the strug
gling, selfish world; cherishing the gay dreams of
boyhood; looking around upon happiness, and for
ward to bliss j filled with wonder at the present, and
sunny anticipations of the future. It is pheasant to
bring" back, occasionally, the old Academy with its
I grave and venerable rulers, anI its heedless, impa
tient subjects ; to see ourselves struggling to compre t
head Baker and Briar j stuck, emphatically stuck,
On Cider; following out our progress from Compel
to Zumwary ; and recollecting our ! wonder at the
erudition of those who knew why St 9 re was a noun,
and who could parse, "John reads his book?
Then, $00, the words " Boys may go out' what
thrilling words they were ? They were like an elec
tric shock. They quivered through every boy's
whole frame from head to heels. j
Those were joyous days, but they will never come
back. They were the bright hours of a rosy morn
ingthey were the first playful leapings of a stream
at its fountain head, flashing in sunlight, and wind
ing its ray through grass and flowerf, that has flow
ed 'on, fill it has become wider and deeper a little
turbid, now and then, but, on the whole, clear, mild
and peaceful.

Leaader, was killed a few daya ago! in San Augus

Shield. A very bitter newspaper controversy had
been going on between the parties for several weeks,
and finally led to the shedding of tyood. We have
not been able to ascertain the particulars. ' Report
says that Mr. Kendall and Mr. Russell fired three
shots at each other without effect, and that in a day
or two after they met again, when Mr. Russell fell

speaking of the appointment of CoL Jeff. Davis as
UJ S. Senator" from Mississippi, says :
Colonel Davis, as the world knows, is a brave and
meritorious omcer anu a wpriny man. lie is a v;ai-
hcirrtt Democrat, and a Very atroue Taylor man, -we
understand, so that his positiou in Congress will be
very interesting, and hiay disappoint some of his
constituents ; " ' ' ' " -
The next day the Minister of Foreign Relations
invited the Congress, through tne newspapers, u
meet for that purpose. . . V a v -u
' These are the great facts which no doubt will
bring after them peace. luumu.j.
