The hand of an overriding Providence maybe
seen, in our Saviour's being entombed in a spot
So sequestered, ornamented with trees, fruits and
flowers, 50 striking to the human eye. SO pleasant
to the mind. In garden were our first parents
placed IN happy innocence. In a garden thew
partook Of forbidden fruit. Sorrow, and woe,
and death entered here, through sin, folly and
dlsobedience. Since the fall OF Adam, man has
continued to tfansgress Ills iniquities have

Here then. while surrounded by plants and
flowers while engaged in the gayer concerns
of life, let MS not forget there was garden. in
which man once dwelt in perfect innocence -
and, that there was a garden, in which was
found a new sepulchre-and in that sepulchre,
lay entombed our dear REDEEMER.

And a sweet matn song, from countless voices,
Came stealing softly on the rayish'd ear.
With heart elate, Ipress'd more near those scenes
And reach'd them as the sun his highest point.
The hues had vanished and the flowers had clos'd
All song had ceas'd, and the fierce midday heat
Wither'd the plants, whose beauty was no more
sat me, weary, down upon a rock,
And sigh'd that all my labor was in vain,
So rise we in the morning Of our days,
And life, before as, is all beautiful.
The sun ofhope. just rising, paints the scene
The balm of health gives every spirit play,
And pleasure charms us with her distant song.
We press along TO reach the Elysian fields;
They fly before u.s. almost till our noon;
And then disease and care have marr'd their face
The song Of pleasure wakes the soul no more +;
We look around us, but tits desolate,
And we sit down amid the barren world
10 sorrow DER our disappointed joys.
Well is it, if we sorrow on awhile,
Til from our eye the wilderng film be purg'd,
That gives the scenes of life unreal hues
And doubly we'll if on our night Of grief
The rays of heavenly influence dawn at last.
Then do we bless that hour, SO painful once,
Where disappointment broke the charm of earth
Our souls, undazzed more beneath the sun,
Fed with the light of Immortality,
Look to that cline where blooms the amaranth,
Where wreaths untading wait the pious brow,
And disappointment blasts our joys no more.

Whether our first parents were remarkable for
their attachments TO the garden and romantic
scenery, or not certain ii is, there have been
those, perhaps in every age, whose taste, and
whose science cannot be called in question, who
have been enthusiastically fond, both OF the gar

A garden is place highly cultivated and
