MISSIONARY SPIRIT.
A PAR6DT.
o FLY with me through distant air
To Isles that gem the western deep
For God reveals his mercy there
His love rescunds on ev'ry steep.
As through the green transparent sea,
Light floating on its wave, we go,
The much-lcv'd saints shall welcome me
To their society below.
For oft upon the margin sands,
When twilight leads the fresh'ning hour,
I'D join the little loving band,
To praise an all-protecting Power.
And well he loves our joys to view,
While on the oceans breast we lave
And oft the cheerful song. renew
To Him, whose grace alone can save.
Swift bic we to that splendid cline
Where gay Owyhee spreads her scene,
Lifts the blue mountain, wild-subIime,
And smooths her wales of vivid green
Where high enthron'd, in pomp of shade,
The power of vegetation reigns,
Expanding wide, DER hill and glade,
Shrubs of all growths-fruits of all stains.
IT'S there the mission'd sons Of God
Proclaim that Jesus dy'd for men;
And lead the natives to that blood
That clears their souls from ev'ry stain.
The dulcet sounds Of gospel grace
Salute the rude untutor'd ear;
And quick the sons Of nature mise
A song of praise for what they hear.
Beneath the mangrove's cooling shade,
The voice of mercy sounds aloud;
And all the love of God display'd,
Among the list'ning, wond'ring crowd
Where fam'd magnolia spreads on high
Her richest foliage-gayest bloom,
And soft distils, from ambient sky,
Dew sweetly fraught with rich perfume
Where bread-fruit groves spontaneous yield
Their stores Of life sustaining food;
Amid those wild romantick fields
would proclaim the love Of God.
Aud when the shaking thunders roll,
And lightnings strike athwart the gloom;
The placid, heaven-instructed soul
Shall breathe out prayer, rich perfume.
How sweet to sit beneath the palm,
Or verdant plantain's spreading leaf,
And sing religions holycalm,
Dispelling ev'ry pain and grief.

MISCELLANY.
CHARLES R.4WLEY.
OrOcNNTIne.

One beautiful spring morning, shortly
after came to Green Lane, took ride
round the neighbourhood to return the
visits Of my new acquaintance, and to
say how dye do to the many new faces
was in the midst Of After making sew
eral calls, arrived at a neat looking
farmhouse, whose tenant | had taken
glass of cider with the day before, and
who learned was young man of prom
Using character. / was struck as soon as
l entered on the place, with the business
like appearance of every thing. The
fences were all in good order, the trees
looked thrifty, the winter-grain very
forward, the cattle in prime keeping
and the place well stocked with poultry
of every kind, fine growing pigs, and
clever flock of sheep. At the barn OBJ
served several persons busily employed,
and so stepped down there, where found
Charles Rawley himself, in his shirt
sleeves working like lusty fellow, and
6is boys round him as busy as himself. He
invited me to walk TO the house, and did
so; and the arrangement Of things with
in correspondent well with that without.
Although it was not much after the
ordinary breakfast hour, every thing
like cooking or eating had disappeared-
there was not so much as crumb on the
floor the very cat had had her fill, and
sat washing her face. in the corner; the
chairs were all in their places; the
tables looked newly polished, and the
domestick carpet did not beaF the print
of single footstep. But the preitiest
sight was the good woman and her two
eldest daughters at the spinning-wheels.
The little girls did not appear TO be,
either of them more than 8 or 10; yet
they seemed quite m;sEesses of their
business, and worked as smart as their
mother. With their faxen hair neatly
combed up, their rosy faces fresh and
clean, and their linsey dresses neat and
tidy, they bespoke tribute Of praise TO
their excellent mother, which | could
not help availing myself even of that
early opportunity of paying.
We read the truest lessons Of charac-
ter in small things; and when Charles
asked his wife for the decanter of brandy,
| sat it down as one good sign, ii was an
article with which he was not very
familiar; and when afterwards he want
ed to pay me small sum of money for
sope choice seed | had promised him,
and went to the good woman for the
money, set that down as another. It's
always good sign when husband and
wife keep the family purse in common
for it shows that they both know how to
keep it well--a matter Of the first con-
sequence.
left Charles Rawley's that morning,
delighted with my visit, and when re-
turned home, noted in my Port Folio,
6 Rawley will be rich in dozen years.
1t will be twelve years next May since
made this entry, and he is now master of
a farm Of ESQ acres Of fine land, and has
money out at interest, though al that time
probably fifteen hundred dollars would
have bought him out completely; so
certain does industry, frugaIity and good
management prosper. [EmpOrisn.

THE Subscriber owns a Farm

gether. One half of this Tract is covered with
Wood, and the other halfis Improved Land
The principal part of the cleared halfis excel

well adapted TO Grain. The present owner is
unwilling to monopolize the good Laud Of Ster-
ling; especially as his other avocations will
not permit him to carry on so large Farm adj
vantageously, either to himself or to the Land,
lie oilers, therefore, TO sell two or three hun
dred acres, including about an equal quantity
OF Wood and Cleared Land, in lots to suit
purchasers.

patton is farming, wishes 10 procure, for small

courthouse In Worcester; lying within 8
miles OF the street in Worcester, where the

sell for $l4 an acre, and give a reasonable
payday for part of the purchase money, or the
whole, as the purchaser may wish.---The
