THE VISION.
| call upon thee in the night,
When none alive are near;
dream about thee with delight,
And then thou dost appear
Fair as the day star DER the hill.
When skies are blue, aud all is still.
Thou stand'st before me silently,
The sceptre Ct the past;
The trembling azure of thine eye,
Without cloud o'ercast;
Calm as the pure and silent deep,
When winds are hush'd and waves asleep.
Thou gazest on me but thy look
Ofangel tenderness,
So pierces, that | less can brook
Than if it spoke distress,
Or came in anguish here 10 me
To tell of evil boding thee
Around thee, robes of snowy white,
With virgin taste are thrown;
And, at thy breast, lily bright,
In beauty scarcely blown s.
Calmly thou gazest--like the moon
Upon the leaty woods of June.
The auburn hair is braided soft
Above thy snowy brow;
Why dost thou gaze On me so soft
cannot follow now!
1t would be crime, double death
TO follow thy forbidden path.
But let me press thy hand again,
l oft have press'd in love,
When sauntoring thro' the grassy plain.
Or su mer's evening grove;
Or pausing, as we marked afar,
The twinklmg of the evening star.
1t is dream, and thou art gone;
The midnight breezes sigh;
And Understandable
With sinking heart, lie
To muse on days, when thou to me
Vert more than all on earth can be!
Oh, lonely is the lot of him,
Whose path is on the earth,
And when his thoughts are dark and dim,
Hears only vacant mirth
A swallow left, when all his kind
Have cross'd the seas, and winged the wind,
FROM THE PHILADELPHIA CITY REGISTER,
dream'd that Desola toms wing,
With crimson tinge, had hurried by,
And swept the glories of the spring,
And faded beauty's dye.
And Death had breath'd upon the shore,
And spread the sickly mantle there;
And man had sunk TO rise no more,
No more smile to wear.
But still. upon the darken'd wreck,
a solitary wand'rer stood,
Whose lonely whisper seem'd to break
The sileuce OF the food.
He sieh'd not-but his eye surveyed
The wild aud death-like solitude;
he wept not-ior his birth forbade
His name was-FoRTITUDE.
A SMILE.
Say, what's most like brace of Lawyers?

AN ASIATIC SCENE.


The following description of the country
near the Ganses. during the rainy season,
[is from the pen of NJ. Rowe, Baptist Mis-
sionary.
.We are just emerging out of what we
call the rainy season. During the greater
part of this beriod we live sort OF amphl-
lbious life, surrounded by water, and the
heat and profusion of persplratlon is some,
times so great that we seemalmost reduced
to fluid. At this period of the year the
prospect is altogether such as would be
new to you. We have no hills and vales
to cast our eyes upon, but the surrounding
country presents fiat, extending as Tar as
the eve can reach in every dissection. The
Ganges overfows its banks, and mandates
the low lands. Hence the natives build
their towns and villages on spots OF rising
ground, and during a considerable part OF
the rains, the country around US looks like
the Pacific ocean covered with innumera-
Bile islands. Men, women, and children.
and cattle, are all cooped up together on
the little elevated spots on which they
have built their habitations. For days, or
even weeks, some of the villages have no
intercourse with otherv villages, unless they
are possessed Of boat.
TO evade the rapid stream Of the Ganges.
boats that are going up the river sail among
the towns and villages, over fields which
are at other seasons of the year, covered
with waving crops of grain, for days togeth-
er. The river Ganges, the bed which is
about two miles in width, rolls down its
mighty torrent within few feet of
where reside, carrying down dali y an i'm
mcnse number of boats of various sizes and
descriptions. Many beats and many lives
are lost in the Ganges during this stormy
period. A few weeks ago boat was up
set mile or two above Digah. number Of
fshins; boats Immediately put Off to pick up
parts of tine boat, her cargo ard the crew.
If any of them happened to float down
pretty near them: So li.tle do they think
Of human lite that in general they would
hardly row fifty yards to rescue fellow
rreSturr from watery grave, unless
tslapted by the hvpe Of gain. I san two
men belonging to this boat floating down
lhe strongest part of the stream, and una
tle to get towards the shore in addition
70 which storm, had gathered and was
iust ready to burst over them: but nc
boat offered TO go to their assistance. A,
the moment stopped fishermen on his
way to share the plunder. and offered hin
reward on condition Of his bringing these
two men 20 NE. On the strength of thin
promise he set of, and after while return
ed with the men. The poor laen wer,
nearly exhausted. The unnatural prac
tice Of throwing dead bodies into the riv
er, and being accustomed to seeing then
lying about the shore, and floating dOwr
tie stream has no doubt tendency t
blunt every human and benevolent feel
ing.

marked by star, embossed on a large
plate of silver. let into a slab OF marble uh-
der an altar. On the walls beneath the
altar are series of silver plates. with the
memorable events relating to our Savlours
birth embossed upon them. From the
chapel of the nativity we descended two
steps to the holy manger, or small chape,
supposed to contain it. 1t is very small
and lined throughout with marble, but the
form of a maDger IS not At all apparent
The pictures, with these two chapels are
enriched, are of the italian and Spanish
schools, and not without merit. The best
are the murder Of the innocents, and Ado
ration of the Magi. From the chapel OF
the nativity. we were conducted TO the &C.
metry of the 1nnocents-thence to the
grotto Of st. Jerome. The Greeks have
also a staircase to these subterranean cha
pels. &c. near the principal altar OF their
church, but are not allowed to perform
mass in any of them (; the Latins enjoying
the exclusive privilege. We ascended to
the terrace. and had a fine view Of the
surrounding country. We were shown
square field, with few olives. surrounded
by stone walls, where the angels appeared
to the shepherds the well Of David, and
the convent of Elias. The face of the
country is here very different from other
parts of Judea; the ledges of the noun
tains are carefully cultivated, and here
and there covered with figs, vines, and
olives. The village of Bethlehem, is situ-
atsd on one hill and the convent occupies
the opposite one. The houses are built OF
stono, and have flat roofs. The inha6i-
tants are a fine well made race OF people,
and almost all Christians. Those of the
Greek and Catholic faith. are nearly equal
in numbers. Among the women, whose
costume is extremely picturesque, we saw
some very handsome. and unusally fair.
The dress OF the men consists OF black
end white striped abbas, with scarlet un-
der garment. and red and white turban.
Their principal occupation is making ro-
saries, chaplets. mother-of-pearl and btu
men crosses. Sc. They appear to have
all some little competency, and are very
comfortable. Ia the garden Of the convent
We were shown tree, said 20 have been
planted by the hand Of st. Jerome, and as
such greatly rerered. Feuds are. unfortu-
nately, constantly arising between the sects
respecting their various rights and privi-
leges, and the Turks, actua.ed az well by
the rcspect they have for the Franks. and
the riches profiered in abundance by the
Greeks, scarcely know how to decide. A
disturbance which tso!s place about three
leurs ago, has entailed upon the convent
The c..pensc of a Turkish guard of fifteen
soldiers, who reside in the establishment.

the o,er.tions ofdomestic life are perform
ed in the open air, every noise rs heard :
At night all sleep on the tops oi .ne;r
houses, their beds being spread upon the'r
terraces with no other covering than the
vault Of heaven. The poor seldom have
a screen to keep them from the gaze Of
passengers and as we generally role out

ceived on the tops ofthe houses people e',
