DIVINE PRESENCE.
HOW sweet this radinnr - of n:y Lord t
Half seen, tali'felt, awl alt auor’d !
Where’er I turn, I ctich a ;
Each feeble ray now grew* a beam.
This sofr, serene, resplendent light
With pleasing wonder fills the sight i
Bends low the heart to hrav’it* behest,
1 hen swell* with joy the peiu**e breast.
Uphold, descending fruit» on high.
The Great Supreme of Jwrth *wl sky ;
He throws around a da blase,
That will the aimer may amaze i
Lay proud presumption i.i the dust,
And fill with kwa the pore and jn*t, »
What flight of fajiey high am! bold.
What fotec of genius yet untold,
VV nat human skol, or angel voice
Can ted the pangs, can tell the joys,
Which such o’crwhelmiug view* create.
In them that love and them that hate.
What Seraph’s It and, tho’ taught with care,
\V ha’ (.'.lours deep beyond compare,
What canvass dark to raise tbe foil,
What years of patient, pious toil,
Can half this glory represent,
Or tell the vision’s vast intent.
Snail God vourhaafe on earth to dwell,
Who spans the Heav’ns and measures hell,
Who hung the starry worlds on high,
Which stud with gold th* molten »ky;
Who stretch'd abroad the w4*ry main.
And richly dress’d the pleading plain ?
Yes. he whom space cannot inclose,
One labourite s* at St-low hath ch®te ;
The brcaa’ of such as bend their vvdl
To Him, and nil his mind fulfill.
For tl ese the power which rt-igns within,
I brows down lli’ enchanting wand of sin ;
And tur ns its talse, though dazzling charm,
To scenes more bright, yet free from harm ;
Gilds nature's works, and human things,
And draw> delight from constant springs.
Is such the gloty, such the grace,
Comp:c*s’d wu.hin th.s naiTow apace ;
Is such the biijs vouchsafd to man
Whose longest life is but a span ;
Are views so bright unfolded here,
As nuke the joys of Heaven ><cem rear ?
Then what must Heaven itself contain
A world of pleasure, strange to pain ;
Such pleasure too as sense, i- r mind.
Nor boldest fancy has defin’d.
W liat once, as through » glam, was seen,
With “ clouds and tLikness” spread be
tween.
Is now display'd in brilliant light,
To hold in chairs the ravish'd sight;
And UdnjfB. before obscurely known.
In nil the blaze of truth are shown.
The tree of life, which quickly fades,
Where’er one hostile breath invudua,
Is always there in verdure found,
Deep-rooted in eternal ground. X.
SIfjc *pomtor,.„*No. XLVI.
Ard the xeotu* xchicti l command thee this
day, a!ui.I be in thine hewt ; And thou thalt
teach them dilligently to thy children."
1 HE education of children has ever been
considered a subject of the highest impor
tance. Inspiration is decided on the sub
ject, r.m- is it any where left as a matter of
douht.' d speculation, how, or what they
should be tMiglu. Moses, after rehearsing
die womi’rous dealings of God’s providence,
together with his moral law, aiul the essen
tial doctrines of the scripture, proceeds to
* .t I • . I A . . . M.a •
JJivt: tnc UMiii’iunu mine ~ i lie WOrUa
which l comm and the® this day, thou shalt
teach ddligcmlyto thy child.en, and thou
•halt talk *t them when thou silieat in thine
house, and when thou walkest by the way,
and when llum lieat down, «md when thou
rirest up” How then can paren's justify
themselves in the neglect „f this important
part nf the education of their children ! Li.
%tructor»i<. public schorls would do well to
euttaider also their resoonsibili'y In regard
to ihc youth committed to their cate. For
"H r, opportunity to do good, men will un
douiiwdiy have to render an account ; and
an awful dajr will il he (o'those whose op
portunities have been many, Whose spheie
like that of parent* ami public instructors
lies been enlarged, but who through care
lessneaJ, iiile.ic-s or Indisposition to the
work useif, suffer their children or pupils
to grow up in heathenish ignorance of the
way of salvation* and of the knowledge of
that Clod mo* Savronr, whom to inovj aright
is hte e'etn.l. The laudable practice of
catechising children, has lately b$eit too
* .itc.ii neglected. Many accm to v.ew it as

trouble attending the performance of duty,
and ace in not to consider that the souls o

commuted to the*rcharge. Although there

INTERESTING NARRATIVE, j
A living Judge, who not many years since
travelled the north west circuit in Ireland,
came to the trial of a cause, in which much
of the local consequences of certain dema
gogues in the neighborhood fwere concern
ed ; it was the case of a landlord's prosecu- |
lion against a poor man, his truant, for as*
sault and battery, committed on ibe |t*r»oii
of .he prosecutor, by the defendant, luthe
defence of hi* only 'Child, au innocent and
beautiful! girl, from ravishment. Not oulf
the Bench bid ih. * ‘ B.', d *d will j
the prosecutor's lather the day noioie ibe 1
ti*al, »u<t some of them (tCiuae the venison
and cWet to ibis day. Next day the p«or
man was brought into Court and pot to the
Bar —The prosecutor appeared, and s wrote !
m st manfully to every tittle in the indict* i
menu He waa^ros* examined Ly the Ju- j
ror» who were honest tradesmen and repo- s
table Farmers. The poor man l ad no Law- j
yertotell his story: He pleaded his own j
cause—and he pleaded not to the fancy, but .
to the judgment and the heart. The Jury j
found him not guilty. The Court was enra
ged i but the surrounding sfccUaUn s cUd*
dtned to exultation, uttered a shout tT ap
plause- The Judge told the Jury they must
go back to their jury room, and re-considtr
the matter ; adding, * he was astonished
they could presume to return so infamous a
verdict.’ Ihe Jury bowed, went nack a> d !
in a quarter of an hour returned, when the
Foreman, a venerable old man, thus addres
sed the Benda:
" My Lotd, in compliance with your de- j
sire, w» went b:xk to our Jury room ; but '
as we found then no reason to alter our o-1
pinions or our verdict, we return it to you in
the same words as before—not guilty. We
beard your Lot dship’s extraordinary lan.1
guage of reproof-—but we do not accept it as
properly or warrantably to apply to us. It,
is true my Lord that we ourselves, individ.
ually considered, in our -private capacities,
in ay bo ptur insignificant men—therefore
we claim nothing in that light, without side
"tins Box above the common regards of our
humble, but honest stations; but my Lord,
assembled litre as a Jury, we cannot be ifi
ssnsiblu to the great and cofisiuvuonal im
portance of tho department we now fill j
we feel that we are appointed as you ate
by tho law and the Constitution—not only
us an impartial tribunal to judge between
tho King and bis subjects—the offended
and the offender—but that by the favour vf
that constiiutiuii, we act in aViUwthiii of s
still greater confidence i for we foim as »
Jury, the barrier of the people against the
pnuuibi* influence, prejudice, passion, or
aori uption of the bench.
44 To you, nay Lord, meeting you within
these walls, I, for my own part might pos
sibly measure u»y respect by your private
virtues—in this place your private charac
ter is invisible ,* for it is in uny eyes veiled
by your official one, and it is to ojwn con
duct, and in that only we can look.
“ThisJury, my Lord, dees not in this
business presume to offer that bench the
least disrespect, much less insult; we pay
it the respect cue tribunal should pav to
another, Lr the common honour of both.
This Jury, my Lord, did not arraign that
bench with partiality, prejudice, infamous
decision, nor yet with influence, passion,
corruption, oppression, or tyranny ; no, we
looked to it as a mercy-seal of Royalty_as
the sanctuary of truth and justice ; si i'll my
| Luid we cannot blot from our minds I he
i records of our school books, nor er.se ti e
early insciiptions win ten on the lirsi pages
; of our intellects and memories* Hence we
must be mindful that the monarch* and
judges are but fallible mortals, that tyrants
have Sat on thrones, and that uic mercy-seat
ol Royalty, and the sanctuaiy ot justice have
been polluted by a i resailiiaji, a bciaggs,
and m Jefferies.
