Did We see the red rose on its bonny green stem,
AS open'd its lips for the dew
The newly hedged birds. did ye look upon them,
Just fluttering their wings ere they few
bid We mark the young light, dawning dim in the
east,
With the clouds cold and silent above
Did we hear the bells ring at the yiilase-spread

And see the young bride and her love
Oh, the rose, it has bioom'd, it has wither'd, tits
dead,
And its leaves blown away with breath;
Oh, the birds, they are grown, they are strong,
they are fed,
Aud the fowler has done them to death:
Oh, the light frightened forth woodland and

Then it faded and faded away:
Oh, the bells that were ringing, are kuolling

And the bride and her love, where are they

EFFECTS OF RELIGION

Religion prepares the mud OF man ior
all the events oil this inconstant state, and
instructs HIM 10 the nature OF true happi-
ness; early weaving him from an undue
love of the world. Affections do not at
tack him by surprise, AID therefore do not
overwhelm him: he is equipped for the
storm as well as the calm iu this dubious
navigation of life. He is not overcome by
disappointment, when that which is muta
bic begins to change, and when that which
he knew to be transient passes away. Re-
ligion moi only purifies the heart; so that
the devout man is neither lifted up by sue
cess, nor enervated by adversely he meets
the changes 10 his lot without unmanly de-
lection. He is Injured to temperance aud
restraint. He has learned firmness and
selfcommand. He is accustomed to look
up TO Supreme Providence, not with re-
verence only, but with trust and hope. 10
prosperity, he cultivates his mind. stores
ii with useful knowledge. with good prize
ciples and virtuous dispositions. The re-
sources remain entire, when the trouble
comes. His chief pleasures are always
OF the calm, innocent and temperate kind;
aud over these the changes OF the world
have but little power. His mind is a
Kingdom to him, and he can ever enjoy il.

ADoaATioN.

Every man has his God; and whatever
it be, it is worsbipped on the Sabbath,
and in the sanctuary. While the Christian
adores his Maker. the man Of the world Is
paying homage to MamnsOn the sluggard

the ambitious man to Honour Thus, in
various ways, the grand adversary Of
souls catches away the word OF life, aud

ON THE CULTIVATION OF TRUTH.

Perhaps there cannot be subject Of
greater political importance, or better cal
cuiated to lead us 10 safety through the
inazes of controversy, that that of the
value Of truth. truth may be considered
BY us, either abstractedly, as ii relates to
certain general and Interchangeable princi-
Piles, or practically, as it relates to the
daily incidents and ordinary commerce OF
human life. In whatsoever of these
views we consider it. the more deeply we
mediate its nature and tendency, the more
shall we be struck with its uDrivalled i'm
portance.
