When the starlight of heaven sin calm and serene And the earth m its beauty seems brooding a drcain. How sweet 'neath the shadings of Nature to woo, The charms ol perfection apparent in you.

And my thoughts, as unsteady, roam in alternate glee To "the scenes of my childhood" and the dcarness i,l t;;e.

He was brought up in the lap of indul- gence, humored in every whim, and be- fore h had left ths leading strings gave evidence that already he was a spoiled child. At six years old lm was "a trouble to the household, wayward, disrespectful to his parents, passionate and overbearing to his young companions, and exacting towards all. At 15 he was beyond the reach of paternal restraints. His will was law ti the family. His whims must be indulged at whatever price. His teachers finding him unmanageable, he had gone the rounds of the schools He was out regularly every night, some- times to late hours, frequently at the the- atre, and always in bad company. He had gained the reputation of a wild, lad. His parentsnow discovered that he was unpromising, but having fail- ed to restrain and correct him at the proper period, he was beyond their con- trol. H reached his eighteenth year. He had, in the meantime, been sent away to College. Idle habits and depraved tastes unfitted him for study. He was disciplined before many months had passed, and his father was written to a-- ! i bouthim. Before his second term had closed he was dismissed, and had return ed to his home, a grief to his family.

At six years old lm was "a trouble to

his parents, passionate and overbearingto his young companions, and exactingtowards all. At 15 he was beyond thereach of paternal restraints. His will

was law ti the family. His whims mustbe indulged at whatever price. Histeachers finding him unmanageable, hehad gone the rounds of the schoolsHe was out regularly every night, some-times to late hours, frequently at the the-

atre, and always in bad company. Hehad gained the reputation of a wild,

lad. His parentsnow discoveredthat he was unpromising, but having fail-

ed to restrain and correct him at theproper period, he was beyond their con-trol.

H reached his eighteenth year.He had, in the meantime, been sent awayto College. Idle habits and depravedtastes unfitted him for study. He wasdisciplined before many months hadpassed, and his father was written to a-- !

ibouthim. Before his second term hadclosed he was dismissed, and had returned to his home, a grief to his family.Three years more passed, and when the
