Oh! would I were a boy again, When life seemed formed of sunny years, And all the heart then knew of pain, We wept away iu transient tears. Wheu every joy hope whispered then, My fancy deemed was only truth; Oh! would that I could know again, The happy visions of my youth. 'Twere vain to sigh that jears have shown How false those visions were Or murmur that my eyes have known. The burden of a fleeting tear. Nut t-till the heart will foimly cling. To hopes no longer ptized as truth, Aud memory still delights to hritrj The happy visions of my youth. From the New York American. 1. 1 f i: . I saw a little fairy boat, Glioe o'er a glassy lalte; Bright buds wove 'rouud the gilded prow
h lowers scattered in its waue. Jt held one tair aud sylphlike child Within its bosom shglit One band upon the little helm, Whilst all seemed calm and bright.
I saw that tiuy bark again, Upon a glancing stream, Flit midst its green and fairy isles, Like a swift passing dream. A fair-haired youth now guided it. Through all its changing scenes: While sun and storm around him played, In showers and fitful gleams. Again it burst upon my view, Ou rapids dark and dread; Its gil.led prow all worn and broke. It flowers faded and dead. It held while in its wild career. Manhood's all-braviug form: His eye fixed on the bow of Hope, That shone above the storm.
They were all well and bound to get through. Many of the St. Louis boys have left their
names and respects to any of their friends behind on the smooth trees and rocks along the road, and it is sometimes cheering to see a well known name pencilled at a crossing or watering place. A letter from Fort Laramie of September 18th
says: News from the Salt Lake has just reached here, and the accounts from the emigrants are anything but flattering. You may recellect [recollect] that early in the season I predicted great suffering amongst them. It is now about to be fulfilled.
