SYMPATHY.
e, the Rev. Mr.. afarsden. ofN. 4.

=
How sweet the tear OF regret,
That drops from hunani,l's eyes;
How lovely the cheek that is wet,
And bosom that throbs with a sigh.
This world is a sorrowtul stage,
a valley of weeping and voc,
From Childhood to g%srruious age,
The tear unlimited Will flow.
Oar own or another's distress
will force the bright lusires to fall
Nor can the mild b1som do less
Than gricve Tor the sorrows OF all;
For he that has n0ught to impart,
May at least give the wretched a tear
twill comfort the d~esolate heart,
When no other comfort is near.
The Saviour in sympathy wept,
And gave the 8ivinest ~relief,
(NVhen Lazarus mortally slept) o..
TO the sisters Overwhelmed with grief;
He sorrow'd for Solyma's doom,
AS he sat upon Olivets steep;
lie thought on her Judgment to come,
And pity constrained him to weep.
The seers and the prophets of old,
A noble and heavenly throng,
Were cast in q generous mould,
With passions for sympathy strongs
They wept out ofpity Tor man,
To see him so vile and so base,
Andrivers of sorrow have ran,
For Adams degenerate race.
All! give me the penitent tear,
That flows from contrition divine!
1t brings the sweet comforter near,
Ofpardon, the pledge AVID the sign.
True grief may endure tor a night
Bu, beauty for ages shall bloom,
And sorrow subside to delight,
When peace, hope and favor ilume.
When after long absence, a friend
Returns to delight us and kiss,
Our tears with our ecstacies blend,
And sweet the fruition OF bliss;
Then gay is the tear ofdelight,
When rapture the bosom o'erhows,
Like a star on the az u-r OF night,
Or a dew.drop that falls from the rose.

effect OF stopping a leak. Unfortunately
the attempt failed, and MISUNDERSTANDING al
the endeavors OF the crew, il was win tbe
greatest difficulty they could keen her
float by the pumps. On their arrival ON the
Great Bank Of newfoundland the crew
were surprised by finding the ship made no
