A child of mnny visions. I sauntered through 

 the long summer afternoon of my early life, wilh a 

 thousand vogue yearnings and beautiful beliefs 

 that I never dare utter, and never heard from 

 others. With that sense of power, which strong 

 physical existence ever gives, I left no forest-co- 

 vert unexplored, ami no dangerous foot-ledge of 

 high rock nntrod ; from my universal success and 

 safety, imbibing the belief Hint there wni no height 

 of human goodness or elevation to which I might 

 not upire, and feel c-.mpetent to attain. The lofty 

 mountain scenery— the deep gorges and blue lakes 

 fed my kindling imagination, and peopled t 

 lure with extravagant fancies and glorious I 

 I could behold in the fur distance an he 

 home, surrounded by all of nature nnd art 

 could beautify it, and througed with troops of 

 friends, who appreciated my goodness and dignity. 



How sweetly and dreamingly I believed in trull: 

 and purity without alloy! How despairingly U 

 >rt east back upon it-elf, as the falsity 

 and dfci-ption, which il must meet gradually, be- 

 comes ftlt ! I dreamed of hours oT delighted study 

 In genial companionship— 1 felt the half-undcr 



ll I power of the artist's inspiration — I could no 



auOCk 'be gushing tears, when, yielding lo th< 

 moving pathos or glad delirium of that musit 

 mIh.Ii, Im earnest application, might be incorpo- 

 within my very soul, I reveled iu the thought of 

 comprehending the mysteries of science — I felt a 

 great joy in the consciousness of power to mas- 

 ter and encompass nil that could be permitted to 

 human capacity. How proudly, almost scorn- 

 fully, I acheived the doily lesson assigned me, and 

 urei.iiipli-ln-'l with a tinge of madness, in my expe- 

 ditious haste, whatever was r, .piire.l of me in the 

 ordinary arrangements of tho household. I hail 

 sonic uncertain faith that n B W( 1 8 mortal, although 

 my vision* bad no palpable range beyond the 

 , yet fur back beyond the changes of 

 1 in clearly discern aching fears of 

 ohlrrion, und death revolting at the thought of 

 being entombed in tho earth, and passing from the 

 ■ 11 the living. That the endless suc- 

 nnd years, should calmly 

 I my presence and influence be forever 

 inielt, was more than I could willingly bcliore.— 

 I studied, mid dreamed, and roiolTed, and finally 



urned despairingly In niv honk-s W solace, detcr- 

 nining to excel, seeking to grasp within myself 

 of command which was so much ad- 

 mired in others. What a torture my inner life 

 became, when forced from the one channel of per- 

 '-'thing, mad study! Mr highest aa- 

 ■ ■ world-wide, comprehending all hu- 

 man knowledge, and strangely panting for more.— 

 I sometimes paused a moment to glance forward 

 to the laurel-crowns ond myrlle-chaplets, which 

 should adorn my honored brow, little suspecting

EXHAUSTION OF TALK. 



How long the lamp of conversation holds out t.i 

 irn, between two persons only, is curiously BOl 

 down in the following pnsTige, from Conn! fion- 

 onier's account of In* imprisonment: 

 Fifteen years I existed in a dungeon ten feet 

 square! During six years I bad a companion; 

 alone! I never could ri-hlly 

 distinguish the face of him who shared my cup- 

 ty in the eternal twilight of our cell. The first 

 r we talked incessantly together; we related 

 past lives, our joys forever gone, over and over 

 again. The next year wo eomnninieated to each 

 :-''it- nnd ideoi on all subjects. The 

 third year we had no ideas to communicate; we 

 beginning to lose the power of reflection. 

 The fourth, at the interval of a month or bo, we 

 would open our lips t.i a-k each other if it were 

 pOBSible that the world went on us gay and bustling 

 as when we formed a portion of mankind. The 

 fifth we were silent The sixlh lie was taken awav, 

 — I never knew where, to execution or liberty. 

 But I was glad when he was gone; even solitude 

 was better than the pale, vacant fuee. One day (il 

 must have been a year or two after my compnTij.ui 

 left me,) the dungeon door was opened, whence 

 proceeding I knew not, the following words were 

 uttered:— 'By order of his Imperial Majesty. I in- 

 timate to you that your wife died a year ago." 

 Then the door was shut, and I beard no moroj they 

 bail but flung this great agony upnn rne and left | 

 tm- alone with it."

WHAT IS LIFE! 



What is it! have I often asked, when amid tho 

 circles of the gftj und thoughtless, listening to 

 their songs of mirth and plans of future bliss, tiow- 

 ing their strife and turmoil, their vanity and pride, 

 not one thought apparent concerning tho life lo 



I asked n ebcruli child, mo* seated on a mossy 

 bauk, while at its i, et. and on the distant plain, the 

 fairest tlowers of Juno were peeping forth, and 

 with rich fragrance filled the light air that kissed 

 her dimpled cheek. She was one over whoso brow 

 the golden ringlets played in unbidden freedom, 

 and whose laughing eyes, and cheerful song, in 

 tell-tale numbers told thai grief, nor chill sorrow, 

 nor dark forebodings of a coining day, bid oni 

 crossed its pathway— What is Life* With tookl 

 balf of surprise and doubt, she smiling said, 

 "nun-lit, surely, but a sunlit plain, strewn with 

 flowers of beauty, where sweets wo like tho boo 

 may sip, ond call them all our own." 



1 tu rued, and wamlitid on. Ilesnle a purling 

 stream, I now met one of earth's fairest ones, 

 in all the glowing hopes of budding woman- 



b I, upon whose cheek tho rose of health was 



dwelling. Her step was light and elastic as that 

 of the gentle fawn, free as the air that sweeps tbo 

 mountain side. In tones which from her witching 

 revery seemed lo arouse and startle hci, 1 u-ked,

bonesl affections of a man's nature prove i

 of man's brief existence. What is Life? again I

 the seat of diappointed hopes, and vain regrets.

 resounded amidst the court of the tabernacle; 

 Ibey floated through the lofty ami solemn space of 

 the temple; ibey were sung with glory in the

 away, the harp of David was still awakened in the 

 Church Of Christ. In all the eru-s and ages of that 

 church, from the hymn which it lircst whuvpered iu

 earth, the inspiration of the royal prophet has
