"TWELVE YEARS HAVE FLOWN."
■T rauerLI r. %vrNeoar:-
t
Twelve years have flown since last 1 saw
b1y birthplace and my home of youth;
How 0(t its scenes would memory draw,
tier tints the peocilhoge of truth :
Unto that spot 1 come uuce more,
The dearest life hath ever known ;
Atsdstill it wears the louleit were,
Although twelve eesiy years have flown.'
Again upon the soil 1 stand
Where first my iul8nt footstepsstr.y'J;
Again 1 view my "fatIer•larµl,"
And wander through its pleasant shade :
1 gaze upon the hills, the skies,
The verdant banks with flowers u'ergrown,
And while 1 look with glistening eyes, ,
Almost forge: twelve years are flown.
Twelve years are flown ! there words are brief,
Yet in their sound what fancies dwell :
The hours of bless, the days of grief,
The joys end woes remember'd
The hopes that fill'd the youthful breast,
Alia! how many • one o'erthrown !
Deep thoughts, that long have been at reit,
Wake at the words, twelve years have flown !
The past ! the put ! a saddening thought,
A withering spell is is the sound !
It -comes with memories deeply fraught
Of youthful pleasure's giddy bound ;
01 forms that roved life's sunniest bowers,
The cherish'] few for ever gone :
Of dreams that fill'd Iile's morning hours,
Where are tbey nowt Twelve years have
flown

LECTURES OF THE tIERCANTILE

Pursuant to notice, the introductory tor-
ture was delivered before the members of
the above mentioned As.pctatton, s§ the
Large room of Donegani s hotel, on Thurs•
day evening, by the Rev. llcnry �1'tlkey
A. 3d., pastor of Zion Church, in this c;ty.
• its Excellency the Earl of Elgin, w ho
ten. From this Watts saw the necessity
of thoroughly understaad;ng principles be-
fore thus* nrinc,plee were put in practice;
and Ills Lordship related the anecdote as
an iilu.tration of the teetotally of any pot -
sun in whatever situation uf life he.)iell a
high position, being thoroughly irMtlyd
with the elements of his profession. lite
carpenter and mason, he said, must know
much; but the architect should know alter -
1 he sailor and steersman needed skill, but
how inuch more was needed by the tester
of the ship who directed their dirt.; ur
to bung the subject nearer home to thu.e
he was addressing, they were all aware of
the duties required from tnercnants's clerk.
in their several occupations: but the mer-
chant, to obtain eminence, must be tbo-
ruugh.y acquainted with business in all its
details, and have his atteutiun directed to
the mercantile transactions of all parts of
the world.
He strongly impressed on the young
men of the Amsoei. tion the importance of
knowledge. The pian, he observed, who
distrust acquire every information that laid
is his power, in these days of mental ad-
vaiieemenl, lips:edlly was ,listaocel by his
fellows. and sunk into ubecuruy. His Loyd -
ship alluded, in the course of lis addreee, in
terms of the highest eulogy, to the exceed-
ingly .eloquent lecture he had' just been
listening to from the lips of the Rev. Gen-
tleman behind him; and after having epee
ken for a considerable period with great
antmalios.very much to the gratification of
the audieoce, he sot donwn aurid a perfect
enthusiasm of apelause.
In concluding this report, we must state
that, being at great distance from the
speakers, and unable to take any notes, we
base had to trust entirely to memory, and
beg to bre excused if we have not said all
we should have done, bad we had a better
opportunity, or fur any errors we have com-
mitted.
We belie" that we ere not wrong in
stating that the 5lercantilo Library Asso-
ciation of Montreal has been honored in a
manner that no Provincial literary motile -
Duo has ever been before.' It is a rare, if
nut an unprecedented occurrence, fur a
sobkwan of the high attainments arod hold -
