THE OLDEN TIME.
Antiquity ! the olden lime ! (lie hoary, venerable past! there is something sacred and soul subduing in the very sound of the words. Like the dying echo of the last tones of the departed, it is full of hallowed memories, and cherished associations, that haunt the inner chambers of the imagination, and linger with a mournful tenderness about the better feelings of the heart.
But what have we to do with Antiquity ! They of the old World, who were grey with time and tottering with decay when, but yesterday, they saw us spring into being, laugh at our sometime boast of Antiquity; and well they may, for it is hardly as ■well substantiated as that of the simple boy who conceived himself ihe oldest person in the world, because he could not remember when he was born. Yet even we, in the New World, we, of its second or third generation, whose fathers were present at its birth and baptism, even ice begin to talk gravely of the olden time, and to sigh and look sad over the melancholy grandeur of the past!
Well, be it so. In these stirring times, an ago is shorter, and sooner achieved, than in those of “the
New Orletn* in 1728.
