POETRY.
FROM THE srw-yoRk STATESMAN.
God sad, "Let there be Light."


God sad, "Let there be Ldght."
aLet there be light" Jehovah said,
And nature sprang to birth;
Darkness before his presence fled,
Aud beauty crowned the earth.
Ean. by his word, from dust he formed,
And woman from his side;
Their souls with fire ETHEREAL warmed,
To heavens dread King allied.
But soon the gloom of sin o'erspread
The lustre Of the mind;
No hghtthe lamp OF Reason shed,
And man again was blind.
His walk was darkness, and despair
Upon his spirit proved;
Weary and worn with carking care,
Along life's waste he strayed.
TIL ETERNAL saw;-"Let there be light!''
Again In heaven was heard;
And, Iol mans weak bewildered sight
The STAR OF BETHLEHEM cheer'd.
The Sun of Righteousness, his beams
Upon the spirit shed;
The sleep of SIN and errors dream,
Were Ger, when Jesus bled!
