From The Charicstoa Courier.
Nov the setting sun Is glowing,
Far along the golden sea;
Many an ocean wave Is flowing.
Dearest, tween thy home and me;
To my lonely bosom showing.
shall never meet with thee.
Now my heart is madly beating,
AS linger on the west,
Where the golden sun, retreating
Blazes on the pillows breast;
Bright and fair, bat oh as heeting
Was the smile that made me blest.
Now that orb is dimly stealing
To his palace iii the deep;
Homcward now the gannet's wheeling,
Fer the rolling ocean sweep;
But in me the pang of seeiing
Tine can never lay asleep.
Let nc onward, DER the ocean,
Distance cannot cure my i'll,
Rise, yswaves in widest motion,
But my heart is throbbing still
Let il burn with fol- devotion
Deeper-it will sooner kill.

Go let me weep there's bliss in tears,
When he who sheds them, inly feels
Some lingering stain Of early years,
Efiac'd by every drop that steals.
The iruitiess showers Of worldly woe
Fall dark to earth and never rise;
While tears that from repentance flow,
IN bright exhaement reach the skies.
Go, let me weep there's bliss in tears,
When he who sheds them, inly feels
Some lingering stain of early years,
Effac'd by every drop that steals.
Leave me tosigh Ger hours that flew,
More idly than the summers wind,
And while they passed, a fragrance threw,
But left no trace OF sweets behind.
The warmest sigh that pleasure heaves,
Is cold, is faint to those that swell
The heart. wht re pure repentance grieves
Ger hours of pleasure lov'd too we'll
Leave me to sigh DER hours that flew
More IDLY than the summers wind,
And while thew passed, fragrance threw,
But left no trace of sweets behind.

",Hy days are passd array the swif ships"
Yes dark is the storm beaten Mariners way
AS DER the blue bosom of ocean he glides,
But darker the tempest Of life's Aeeting day,
And colder the storm that hangs over its tides !!
Poor wanderer thy rest is the rest Of the grave
No hour shall thy drawing of pleasure restore,
For the beam that at orning illumned the wave,
Now sinks into darkness and lights thee no more.
And thus shall the Soul that is bound to the world,
And drinks the bright draughts of its pleasures
awhile,
At eve be afar on its dark waters hurled
The slave OF Its loneliness, betrayed by its smile
Yet how can the bosom unheeding resign
The hopes ii has cherished the joys it has known
Should no beam from on high, with effulgence di-
vine,
Shed its light on the path where we wander alone!
0 Thou! who with goodness increasing divine,
Dost calm the rude waves Of the merciless sea,
May this bosom, whatever its trials, be thine,
And, where'er it shall wander, be fixed upon Thee

Ancient of days Thou speakest from above
Thy right hand yields the bolt Of terror now;
That hand which scatiers peace & Joy and love.
Almighty trembling Ike tmid child,
hear thy awful vnice-alarmed - afraid
l see the flashes of thy lightning wild,
And in the very grave would hide my head.
Lord what is MANI Up to the sun he flies
Or feeoy wanders through earth's vale of dust;
There he is lost in heavens high mysteries,
And here In error and in darkness lost:
Beneath the storm-clouds, of lifes raging sea,
Like poor sailor by the tempest tost
In frail bark-the sport Of destiny,
He sIeeps-and dashes on the rocky coast.
Thou breathest ;-and the obedient storm is still
Thou speakest-silent the submissive wave
Mans shattered ship the rushing waters fill,
And the hushed pillows roll across his grave.
Sourceless and endless God compared with The
Life is shadowy momentary dream:
And time when viewed through thy Eternity,
