Indianapolis Locomotive (Newspaper) - April 15, 1848, Indianapolis, IndianaThey so bravely have defended and one by one Fly to the arms of an opponent and Are thus lost to a great cause. But the Plue of each deserter is so immediately filled that her defection is scarcely noticed. To return however to the is portion made in the commencement. I pique myself somewhat on my knowledge of character and am often amused at the decision and promptitude with which persons describe the dispositions and characters of those with whom they Are about As Well acquainted of the untutored Indian is with the Laws of gravitation or the affinities of chemistry. A a who is that Young lady to said one gentleman to another As they stood at the Corner of the Palmer House watching the passers by Quot she has a Fine stately a a she May have a was the reply a a but i do not Admire her appearance it is cold Stern rigid. She is entirely devoid of spright Liness either of feeling or intellect and it seems to me that the very manner in which she holds her head expresses it even her Bonnet with its stiff determined air seems to say 4 i have nothing Todo with a a is it so a said the other a a 1 dislike such a i heard no More but by some Chance 1 shortly afterwards obtained a glimpse of miss t s private journal. I was so amused by her reflections on her birth Day that i transcribed them for Tho Benefit of the gentleman who talked so knowingly of what he was ignorant. But As i am not personally acquainted with him 1 can Only show them through the locomotive. A a Nineteen years old to Day i Well do 1 remember when i was eight How Many and How Long seemed the years that were to come i they were Long and pleasant and various until twelve Hud set their Seal on my forehead and opened Iny Young eyes to some of the wonders and mysteries and terrors of life. Then though still full of pleasure and variety they began to seem Shorter time rumbled and rolled along with rapidity increased and still increasing. Almost imperceptibly 1 Slid from twelve to thirteen. Gathering up fresh strength on i went and was soon at the Gate of fourteen. Stepping along quite briskly and looking with n Quick Eye on All the pleasant and funny lungs around 1 found suddenly to my utter amazement that the Green and bashful fourteen was making an arrangement not at All to my taste hut before i had time to object she was gone leaving me quite disconsolate in the arms of fifteen. Soon this Joyful year cheered me hut just As 1 had formed a warm Friendship with gave me a Hasty and lasting Adieu at the same time putting me under the care of sixteen who went thumping and humping along at an almost unmercifully rapid Rale depositing to when his time was Over in Tho Lap of seventeen who by her haste to receive the was much More rejoiced than 1 at the meeting. Away we went together As fast is old father time could drive us before him. Almost before i had time to look around 1 was bidding my travelling companion goodbye and shaking hands rather Dol fully with eighteen. On and on we went hopping and popping and jumping and running and flying. On and on we went till Clear out of breath and quite unawares i came slap into the face of Nineteen. And now i cannot rest a moment for her glowing Check and glancing Eye Tell inti she is preparing for a race More rapid than any of her predecessors. Well so be it. Let me Only remember As i dish through life that there is work for me to Esther. Hmm Boyoung ladies a fits the of that state tens life s Taay. Like the frail bark upon the sen. Hurried and tossed by the surges through the Midnight shades on which the dawning sunlight Falls gently silvering the darkened Waves and restoring calmness and order so is Lile crude led by the Billows of sorrow Anil envelop cd by the Clouds of affliction on which kind sympathy sadly Annj my hotly diffuses the holy Light of Consolation pouring the precious Oil of kindness mid the troubled feelings. True sympathy is of celestial birth und performs angelic duties in a a this Venlo of when the a frail Cordage of the heart is broken by the dark storms of life it gives a strengthening Charm next to the Hope of heaven when like a thoughtless Dove a wanderer is lost amidst tie fatal mazes of temptation it extends the Silver links of love and draws him to the Ark of safety when sorrow weeps beneath the Willows Shade at the grave of a deported loved one then it Hren thes on the bereaved the air of Paradise and gives to grief itself a sweetness when Bright anticipations die in their Early Spring and fair scenes fade and despondency oppresses the soul it Waves Tho Banner of slope and with Faith unshaken Points to the future and not to the past. Her breath assuage Tho Poi Gurney of grief and bids the soul take a nobler flight from these scenes of do solution to those of Joy and peace. Sadly do they mistake who forsake her blessed influence and none a friended trend the thorny path of life. The misanthrope disappointed in his Brave schemes or deceived in his cherished Hopes regards not the tender clasp and kind words and looks of Friendship and thus his Gony tukes firmer Root and the Wells of bitterness concealed in his heart Wear deeper and broader channels. The anchorite because the cold world has chilled and blighted his High and or Dent aspirations turns from Earth and seeks seclusion. Thus closing every Avenue to Consolation to passes through life under the shadows of suffering. Tho Monk who feels his inst Hope of earthly happiness passing away buries himself in n living Tomb where no Days Priit of brighter scenes can Over reach him. Thus All the afflicted oppressed and wronged who come not to the fountains of Consolation and regard not their Healing Virtues turn from that which might alleviate their suffering. Among heaven s Best gifts arc Truo sympathy and kindness of feeling. Without these life would he like an Etc Niue without Moon or stars hut with them it is made too Bright and Sweet for a thing so Fleet. There Are Many objects which affection s tendrils love to grasp there Are Many objects that Hind the soul to loveliness und Beauty there Are Many chords which vibrate the deepest notes of pleasure but it is the a a fragrance of feeling that sweeten life a ilium once stood in Beauty and grandeur with gardens of summer leaves and Flowers Crystal founts Marble statues of gods and goddesses temples palaces High Walls and everything that could adorn the place or Render it unapproachable to the daring greeks. But alas i one wily stratagem one fearful conflagration Laid Low its primeval splendor mid scattered its loveliness with ashes. The homeless exiles Suud Rcd Over the Earth and sea chanting their sad song a we trots Are no More ilium the Home of Tho gods the great glory of the trojans hath thus it is with All things earthly there is no spot so cherished that a a limes devastating Finger Quot will not efface there is no Hopes so Bright that reality will not Check there Are no Flowers so fair that the autumnal winds will not sweeten.
