EASTER DAY.

The Morn is up ; the lark, his herald, springs
On high to meet him, mounting as he singe;
The wave looks brighter, greener are the trees,
And softer is the breath of every breeze ; •
The East is glad, in crimson robe array'd,
And the West answers with a fainter shade !
Sure 'twas a morn like this when from the tomb
Rose the pure Victim of Almighty doom !
Then Carmel's top was bath'd in floods of light,
And morning glow's! on Ilermon's dewy height;
Then Silon's brook gave back each shading bough,
And Cedron's current danc'd like Isis now.
Sure 'twas a morn like this—so bright the hill,
The earth so lovely, and the air so still—
Whets—hell subdu'd, and death's strong fetters riven—.
Rose in his might, the LORD of Earth and [leaven !
And with the scene, so heavenly pure, how well •
Blends the sweet music of the Sabbath-bell!
It's silver voice o'er grove and valley swings,
And stems to feel the tidings which it brings;
. For the heart swells, as on the ear it falls,
And the step hastens to the sacred walls !
Thou glorious Sun ! still crown this happy day
With t►e bright circlet of thy purest ray!
What though the Rose of Sharon decks no more
The pious breasts that lov'd its sweets of yore ?
What though true hope and holy faith are gone
From the high crest of cedar'd Lebanon?
And thy pure eye but views on Jordan's strand
The blood-stain'd orgies of a robber-band?
Still in our vales the Christian virzoes rise,
The Christian hope still blossoms in our skies,
And still we hail the rising of that morn
When man for immortality was born.
Then crown us now, still crown this holy time,
And raise our musings to that cloudless clime,
Where the Sun gilds theimmortal landscape o'er,
That rose this sacred hour, and sets no more!

PANORAMA OF EDINBURGH.

--.IIPP .--

Often as we have been gratified with the various in-
teresting Panoramas that have been exhibited inLondon,
we do hot recollect any ene that afforded us so rich a
treat as the Panorama of Edinburgh, with a private view
of which we were favoured on Saturday. In the views
of Athens, Pompeii. &c. the Artists might sacrifice some
portion of the fidelity of the picture to imagination, or
in order to produce effect; but in exhibiting the Pa-
norama of Edinburgh, the Messrs Burford prove their
confidence in its correctness, of which every person who
has seen the Scotch metropolis is enabled to judge.
Edinburgh, from the diversity of its buildings, the
inequality of the ground, and the romantic scenery is.
its environs, is admirably suited for a Panorama, and
the effect produced seems almost magical. The view is
taken from the Calton-hill, and exhibits all the prominent
objects in the City ; the crowded state of the Old Town,
and its dingy smoky appearance is finely contrasted with
the open streets and squares in the New Town. Salis-
bury Crags and Arthur's Seat tower over the City in all
the grandeur of nature. Leith Harbour is seen in
the distance, and in the foreground there are some ad-
mirable groups, which would form delightful pictures
if detached. The whole is admirably Fainted; and he
who has never seen Edinburgh, may, by visiting the
Panorama, gain a knowledge of it in an hour, whi, h a 1
the maps and descriptions that have been published
would never give ; while the sons of Caledonia in town
may renew their acquaintance with Auld Reikie,"
without the aid of a stage-coach or steam-boat.
