From the Raleigh (NC. J Star.

But thou shalt remember the Lord thy
God, it is He that giveth thee power to get
wealth."
tits to be feared that wealthy men in ge-
neral do not consider their responsibility,
nor realize their obligation to that power
+" whose kingdom is an everlasting king
dom, and whose dominion is from genera
ton 70 generation" When men prosper in
this world they are prone to think that their
own power had exalted them, and that their
exact calculations and foresight still pre-
serves their property. The love of money
his justly been called the root Of all evil
and most men when they set out in the
world place wealth as the poin. at which
all their hopes centre. When they would
direct Others in the way Of being respected
and prosperous in the world, they viii tell
them to get beforehand in their business SO
as to be punctual 10 treat al men we'll SO
as not to make enemies, and to condescend
to interiors SO as to be popular. These di.
rectlous, though good in their proper p!a-
ces, fall much short of the hing itself.
Such advisers do not consider the declara
ton OF Gods word, that goodness has
the promise of life that now is, as we'll as OF
that which is to come." Did they realize
that the power to get wealth was from God,
and him alone, they would rather advise a
young man to be reconciled to God, and
to walk in his statutes, and fulfil his com
mands, as the surcst way to happiness even
in this world. From the uncertain nature
Of all earthly things the prophet was led to
say, let not the rich man glory in his
riches" we'll knowing that impotent human
nature was inclined to claim the common
blessings Ct providence as the fruit OF its
own industry and prudence. To accom-
plish his own designs, the wise disposer of
all things is pleased to cast abundance into
the store of one, while another is obliged to
struggle with disappointment, penury &
pain" But who shall dare say what dost
thou +? Let US rather labor for the true
riches, seek to inherit real substance, and
instead ofpursing the delusive fancies anc
uncertain enjoyments of this world, strive
earnestly for part in that which is pure as
ether, firm as the munition Of rocks, and
lasting as eternity.

so thou art incomprehen.ible in Weldon,
unreasonable in bounty. Those spacious
orbs, which glitter in the armament, are
the members Of one universal edihce, Great
ed to Sc the seat of one vast and continued
chain of life, the links of which are sepa-
rated by space, but connected by grade !;
to finite mind as form
ing one vast design, but swallowed up in
the all-emblaeing profundity of thy es-
sence.
'Tis thou, o all bountiful Creator, that
didst call my soul into being, to behold and
admire thy wondrous works, which, as a
sensible mirror, reflect thy adorable perfrc.
tons and, in the course Of endless exist
ence, to rise successfully above each step
of natures lofty ladder, until, disdain,pg
minor objects, she unite herself more i'm
mediately with exhaustlrss essence. 0
Lord, how sublime, how dignifying, how
transporting the thought! that the soul,
which animates this earthly clod, shall ex-
list beyond the precincts of time! shall con-
tinually approach the fountain Of life and
perfcc tion; and, forever enjoying a more
in innate connexion with thee, be rendered
happier and happier! Oh, what is man
beginning as it were from point, he is
doomed, through endless stages of exist
ence, to- rise Increasingly above himself,
until, could he regard himself with his once
earthly sight, in his own eyes he would ap-
pear God.

Lease Of tie hdiar Queen Tavern
FOR SAFE

IN consequence ofmy declining health, I
will sell my lease of Ave years, from the lst
of January 1911, of the Indian Queen Ia
Vsrn. 1t is one ofthe best stands in the town
of Alexandria, and commands at this time as
much, if not more than any other, of profita-
BILE business. There are sufficient number
of respectable boarders to ensure any person
comfortable living which, together with
the transient custom attached to the house,
makes it desirable situation for a man quail
lied to keep a House of Entertainment. A
good tenant may have the lease extended to
any length Of time he may choose. :,
/ will also sell, if required,
The Beds and Fnrnitnre now in the house,
which are such as are requisite to the keep
ing comfortable and genteel house. The
house is large and roomy and there is at
tached to it a stable calculated to hold fifty
horses. The whole will be sold on liberal
credit 1t is thought unnecessary to say more,
as it is presumed any person wishing to pur-
chase will first view the premises.

PRAYER OF Il HEATKEN.

A wise Heather philosopher was che
clear evening, regarding in silent admirs-
ton the magnificent canopy of the heavens.
His soul was for some time entranced in
deep meditation and astonishment till az
length, by an involuntary emotion Of his
nature, he vented forth his transport in the
following pious ejaculation
0 Thou, supreme Architect and ruler Of
the Universe! whose throne is above the
utmost borders of this stupendous fabric,
and whose subtls essence penetrates into
every particle of space and matter how
mean and triaing do feel in thy presence !;
how does nv self importance vanish when
think on thee 20 Lord, how wonderful!
are thy works! how awfully sublime thy
Temple! Wherever | cast my eye, / per.
ceive thy all-efec,ive finger; whatever
behold of thy handywork, my soul is filed
with rapture, and involuntarIy mounts up
TO thee, the great author Of the world.
1t is thou, O God, who suspendest in the
empty spaces yon glitterns orbs, that deck
the azure concavc. Thou forraedst the sill.
YER lamp, whose gentle beams chase from
the earth the shades of night, and invests
its surface with radient robe. At thy
command, the brilliant Sun arose, eager to
run his daily course, and exhilirate the earth
with his heart rejoicing rays: BY thy crea-
tive smile, this ponderous globe rose into
being, whirled on its axle in the ambient
void. But, 0 incomprehensible Creator,
was it merely to produce one huge, i'm
mense but lifeless machine, that prompted
thee to form this Universe! Couldst thou
have added aught to thy felicity, by COM
manding ten thousand thousand orbs, to
roll at thy feet in one unbounded circuit !?
Or, didst thou not rather form that vast ma
chine, to give life and jov to million mil
lions species Of existence? When behold
this suhlunary globe, on which so many
myriads of life enjoying creatures rise above
each other in one connected chain of exist
ehce |; must not consider this fruitful pla-
net as but en- island Of vast erel ocean,,
which is marked by countless other plane.
tary isles, many by far greater than this
earthly globe, and containing beings of
superior grade to those we see on earth p
must not consider this marvellous chain
Of creation as continued in those mapnif-
cent orbs, which float with awful dignity in
the boundless @ther? Yes, O eternal God |!

From the Charleston Courier:
SOLITUDE.

PARENT of each calm delight,
Nurse of fancy's airy light !
Source of pleasures ever new,
Gentle, innocent and true
Whether in sequester'd cell
Inclination bids thee dwell;
Or the mountains airy height
Is more grateful TO thy sight;
Or the rock where torrents pour,
/ Foaming on the whiten'd shore;
Or the lowly cot is thine,
With Contentment, maid divine!
Or the church-yard is thy haunt,
Stay of spritcs and spectres gaunt;
Or the woods be thy resort,
Where the satyrs love to sport;
From-where crowds do ne'er intrude--
Hear me, friendly Solitude!
Let me seek thy calm repose
Meath the nectar's sitting rose:
Hid from mortal's prying sight,
SHELTERED by the fay'ring night;
Far remov'd from noise and glee
Blest in thy society
Thine is purest joys to know,
JOYS transcending all below;
Joys that pleasure never knew
Yet e'er holding to the view
Seated near the moss grown cave,
Whence, below the silent wave
Calm, translucent, steals along,
List'ning to the woodland song:
Choice retreat from envy free,
Region of simplicity =
Where no worldly cares intrude,
Wait for me dear Solitude /!
Nature to her offspring kind,
I o simplicity consign'd-
Secret Bow'rs from human ken
Far remote from haunls of men,
Sweet to hear the Ring Dove mourn,
Sweet the Thrush upon the thorn;
Sweet the Llnnet on the spray,
Sweet the Lark's enchanting lay.
Sweet to taste the dew clad breeze,
When the mind is itch in ease;
VIXEN the charms ofNature gay,
Joys inettable convey:
When Imagination pours
On the heart It's balmy show'rs;
Mental transports far more pure
Than false pleasures can procure,
Joys to courts and cities ride
Are thy gifts lo,'d Solitude.
