But the SOUND OF the church going bell
These valleys and rocks never heard,
Meier sighed at the sound of knell,
Or smiled when sabbath appeared.
These beautiful lines, by Cowper, of which the
above stanza is part, representing cast-away on
the island OF Juan Fernandez, will always convey
TO minds capable of approaching the beauties of
poetry, and OF sympathisng in the bereavements of
the exile, the most tender and delicate sensations
whilst the heart softened into all the agreeabIeness
of the sweetest sensibiy, will award its tribute of
gratitude to this most interesting author for having
furnished so rich banquet for the nourishment Of
its best affections.

Version of the 1873 Psalm.

Version of the 1873 Psalm.
Fast by thy stream, o Babylon, reclining,
Woe-begone exile, to the gale of evening
Only responsive, my forssken harpI
Hung on the willow.
Cilshed the big tear-drops, as my soul rememberes
Zion, thy mountain paradise, my country
When the fierce bands Assyrian, who led us
Captive from Salem,
Claimed, in our mournfll bitterness of anguish,
Songs and unseasoned madrigals of joyance
''Sing the sweet-tempered carol that ye wont to
Marble in Zon."
Dumb be my tuneful eloquence, if ever
Strange echoes answer to a song of Zion
Blasted this right hand if should forget thee,
Land of my fathers.

EDUCATION.

The Lion, DER his wild domains.
Rules by the terror of his eye;
The Eagle of the rock retains,
by force, his empire in the sky;
The Shark, the tyrant Of the flood,
Pursues his prey with quenchless rage,
Parent and youth unweaned from blood,
Are still the same from age to age.
OF all that live, and move and breathe,
Man only rises DER his birth;
He looks above, around, beneath
At once the heir of Heaven and Earth.
Force, cunning, speed, which nature gave.
The various tribes throughout her plan,
Life to preserve, from death to save
These are the lOrvest powers of man.
From strength to strength he travels on,
He leaves the lingering brute behind;
And when few short years are gone,
He scars, a disembodied mind,
Destined his future course Sublime
Through nobler, better paths to run,
With him the certain end of time
Is but eternity begun.
What aids him in this high pursuit.
Opens. illumines, cheers the way,
Discerns the immortal from the brute
Cons image from the mould of clayl

The joys of knowledge shall increase.

THE INFIDEL.
nr MODES PERKINS.

nr MODES PERKINS.
Ive heard on Afric's dreary shore,
The serpent's hiss, the psnther'a roar,
No footsteps marked the sands;
No human voice the desert cheered,
Save now and then, were family heard,
The yell of savage bands.
I've seen the red volcanic tide,
Impetuous sweep the mountains side.
And wrap the plains in fire;
And heard the shepherds plaintive means,
NIingling with Etnas hollow grOaIs,
On passing gales expire.
In twilght's faint and dusky beam,
I've seen the murderer's weapon CLEAN,
Bathed in the victims gore;
CHASTITY and pale, with many wound,
The mangled corse half breathing found,
Stretched on the blood stained shore.
I've heard amid the foaming deep,
Where tempests howl, and whirlwinds sweep,
Heart sending cries "tO save -
The shrieks of many a trembling soul,
And marked the seas tremendous roll,
Which swept them to their grave.
No shepherds means, nor panther's roar,
Nor wreck, nor corse upon the shore,
TO me such pain has given
As seeing on the couch of death,
The infdel resign his breath,
Without the hopes of Heaven,

And through the human desert leads
Truths living, pure, perpetual streams.
Behold new creation rise,
New spirit breathed into the clod,
Where'er the voice of Wisdom cries.

From La Belle Assemblee:
FAREWELL.

The home that besses and endears,
The lively hearth that warns and cheers,
The blushing smiles that charm our fears
And woes dispel,
Bot prompt our grief, but swell our tears,
When sounds "Farewell'
Each rose bud that adorns the glade,
Each whitening fow'r that blooms to fade,
Each falling leaf that decks the shade,
And strews the dell,
Seems in its dying charms array'd,
TO say FAREWELL
The morning breeze that rustles by,
And waves the dewy rose bush dry;
Whilst in low and pensive sigh,
Its accents dwell,
Seem but to sympathze whilst
Proclaim Farewell"
'Tis hard when Loves seraphic FIRE,
Thrills thro' the breast with pure desire,
When partial beauty's heavenly Tyre,
With rapturous swell,
Bids each advancing doubt retire,
To say "Fare~ell."
Enlinked in friendships golden chain,
Congenial spirits may remain
But when love adds his melting strain
With magic spell,
How hard the task--how sharp the pain,
To say Farewell"
The tendrill'd ivy may be torn
From its embrace around the thorn,
But there its mark unceasing borne,
IS site will tell
Hearts then retain the sight forlorn
When sounds Farewell
The summer dries the mountain rill
And makes its murmurlng waters still
Its channei'd way adown the hill,
Marks where it fell;
Thus grief will fuIrow deep the will,
When sounds Farewell"
I've known Ambitions dreams depart,
Ave felt Despair's envenom'd dart,
But these are nothing to the smart,
Which nought can quell,
When bursts upon he afflicted heart
The sad Farewell"
But when the noon of life is past.
And deaths dark eve approaches fast,
And borne upon the wlntry blast,
Is heard knell
That will proclaim long-a last,
A dark Farewell"
