Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Two Literary Societies of the University of North-Carolina Upon this occasion, in renewing my acquaintance with you, as members of the two Literary Societies of the University of my native State, it is impossible for mete repress the feelings of old associations, or the recollection of times, though long since past, yet still fresh in the memory. In lingering amidst these scenes, I can ne'er forget though here I am forgot, imagina tion forcibly recals the joys and the sorrows, the friends and the follies of the sunny season of life. Let me pay a passing tribute of remembrance to the absent, while I acknowledge with much gratification, the agreeable as sociations of the present. The scenes of a College life leave perhaps a deeper and more agreeable impression upon our minds, than any thing in previous or future years. It is there the vista of life first opens upon us, exhibiting its alluring prospects, its animating scenes, and its enticing variety. 've bound from its restraints like the well trained courser panting for the goal, and whether we have missed or gained the prize, we look back amidst the petty strifes and low ambition of after life, to our res idence here, -as embracing the purest and happiest days of our existence.
