"THE DESERTED VILLAGE"

The following of the origin OF Goldsmith'S
beautiful poem is from the London Magazine Tor
FEBRUARY. 1899
"The poem of the Deserted Village took its
origin from the circumstance of General Robert
Napier having purchased an extensive tract Of the
country surrounding Lissoy, or .4abarn; in con-
sequence of which many families, here called
c0itierS, removed to make room for the inen-
ded Improvements of what was now to become the
wide domain, warm with the idea Of changing the
face Of his new acquisition ; and were forced "wh
aintng steps, to go in search OF 'torrld tracts,
and "distam climeS.''
This fact alone might be sufficient to establish
the seat of the poem but there cannot remain
doubt in any unprejudiced mind, when the follow
| ing are added viz:--That the character OF the
village preacher, the above named Henry, (the
brother of the poet) is copied from nature. He is
described exactly as he lived; and his " modest
mansion as it existed. Burn, the name OF the
village master, and the scite of his school.honse,
and Catherine Girachiy, lonely widow;
i The wretched matron. forced, in age for bread,
To strip the brook, with mantlng crosses spread;
i (and to this day the brook and bitches, near the
i spot where her cabin stood, abound with clesses)
still remain in the memory OF the inhabitants and
j Catherines children still live in the neighbourhood-
The pool the busy mill, the house where nut
D br01cR draughts inspired" arc still visited as the
a poetic scene, and the "haaoth0rn bush" growing
! in open space in front of the house, which
knew to have three trunks is now reduced to ones
] the other two having been cut from time to time,
. by persons carrying pieces Of it away TO be made
e into toys, &c. in honour Of the bard and Of the
lceebrity of his poem All these contribute to the
!, same proof; and the "decent church." which 1
attended for upwards of eighteen years. and which
"tops the neighbouring hill" is exactly described
las seen from Lissoy, the residence OF the preacher.
should have observed, that Elizabeth Delap'
d who was parshionel OF mine, and died at the age
OF about ninety, often told me she was the first who
eIput book into Goldsmiths hand, by which she
meant, that she taught him his letters; she W. S
allied to him, and taught little school,"

SILENT WORSHIP.

Though glorious, o GOD must thy Temple have bee
On the day of its first dedication,
When the Cherubm's wings widely waving were seen
On high, DER the Ark's holy station;
When even the chosen of Levi, though skilled
To minister, standing before Thee,
Retired from the cloud which the Temple then filled,
And thy glory made Israel adore Thee
Though awfuly grand was thy majesty then;
Yet the worship thy Gospel discloses,
Less splendid in pomp to the vision of Men,
Far surpasses the ritual of Moses
And by whom was that ritual forever repealed'
But by HIM, unto whom it was given
To enter the Oracle, where is revealed,
Not the cloud but the brightness Of Heaven.
Who, having once entered, hath shown us the way,
o Lord how to worship before Thee;
Not with shadowy forms of that earlier day,
But in spirit and truth 10 adore Thee
This, this is the Worship the Saviour made known,
When she of Samaria found him
by the Patriarch's well, sitting weary, alone,
With the stiffness of noontide around him.
How sublime, yet how simple, the homage he taught
To her who inquired by that fountain,
If JehoUah at Solyma's shrine would be sought,
Or adored on Samaria's mountains
Woman believe me, the hour is near,
When He, if We rightly would hail him,
Will neither be worshipped erclusively heres
Nor yet at the Altar of Salem.
For Con is Spirit and they, who Alright
Would perform the pure Worship he loveth,
In the hearts holy temple will seek, with delight,
That spirit the FATHER approveth.
/ And many that pruphecy's truth can delare,
i Whose bosoms have yingy known 1T;
Whom Con hath instructed to worship him there,
And convinced that his mercy will own it.
!, The Temple that Solomon built to his Name,
: Now lives but in his,ory's story;
: Extinguished long since is its Affairs bright fame,
: And vanished each glimpse of its glory.
But the Christian, made wise by wisdom divine,
Though all human fabrics may falter,
IStill finds in his heart far holier shrine,
Where the fire burns unquenched on the Altar!

THOMSON,

The author Of the "Castle of Incidence" paid
homage, in that admirable poem, to the master
passion of his own easy nature. Thomson was so
excessively lazy that he is recorded to have been
standing at peach tree, with both his hands in his
pockets, eating the fruit as it grew At another
time, being discovered in bed at q very late hour
in the day, when asked why he did not rise, his
answer was, 'stroth, mon, ace nae motive ioE
