There is flower to summer known,
Whose leaf will fade as soon as blown,
Yet, for the transient space il lives,
30 rich breath its blossom gives,
il seems embodying all the powers
OF fragrance rare that other flowers
Have breathed throughout their longer prime
in the brief moment of its time.
So bloomed our Arabella, here;
Scarce did the bud of life appear,
When 10, in chidhood's opening hour
Death preyed upon that charming flower!
Yet like the aloe's short-liyed bloom,
Her soul exhaled such strong perfume,
That centred in her life appears
All that would bless and charm for years
In all she did or spoke, or sung,
A nameless spell about her hung,
An air so sweet, it seemed to tell
She was not long on earth to dwell.
Whether the Joy devoid ofguile,
Dmpled her mouth with pleasures smile,
AS the light frolc she pursued
That suits with childhood's happy mood;
Or when she tried each infant art
To wind about the parents heart,
Would print her little lips and smile,
Full pleased with her successful wiles
Or when upon her Bonded knee,
From the best lips of purity,
With folded hands and pious air
She breathed to Heaven her holy prayer;
Or when her gentle voice would raise,
In notes of love, her Saviour's praise;
And soft this sacred lay would sing,
"Sweet is the work, my God, my King"
In all lovely spirit shone,
Too heavenly for the world to own!
Alas her tuneful, warblng breath
Is hushed, forever hushed in death;
And that still heart within the bier
Can feel not cen parents tear
But faith will raise the streaming eye
To worlds where nought can ever die,
Where the young cherub waves her wings,
And her eternal anthem sings,
And waits the hour, when those who mourn
Like her shall be to glory borne

BY the cedar, we may understand the Jews, who
were Gods covenanted people; and by the myrtle,
the pne, the fir, and the box the different nations
of the Genes, who are thus represented to be cal
led by God the Saviour, into his garden the church,
which he has purchased by his own blood And
may we not believe that the realities, represented by
1.-The emblems which now beautify our walls, will
soon be accomplished by his omnipotence and good
mess that as the box, the fir and the pine
lnited and wreathe the pillars ofthis church so will
Jew and Gentle, Parhan and Mede, Assyrian
and Persian, unite and form church, under the
Chief Shepherd and Bishop of souls" o glorious
hour when The church militant shall embrace the
whole human race when the garden OF God shall
Ibe filled with trees OF his own planting!
The Psamist, in speaking of the church, says,
Is Thou hast brought vine out OF Egypt, thou hast
cast out the heathen and planted it, and ddst cause
it to take deep root, and it filled the land The hills
were covered with the shadow OF it, and the boughs
thereof were like the goody cedars. She sent out
her boughs unto the and her branches unto the
rivers" This is literally true of the Jewish nation
or church, Who by the special guardianship of God,
became powerfulin EGYPT, and were afterwards put
into the possession OF Palestine, country bounded
by the sea and by rivers But the great excellency
of the Psalmists description in its being
considered an emblem OF the prosperity and gloy of
the Christian church. The psalmist, with his pro-
iphetlc eye, might have been looking down on that
glorious hour when the ascending Saviour commits
stoned his dscpes to preach his gospel to every
ture or on THAT when his religion shall triumph
in every land and the banners OF the cross be hailed
the rallying point Of nations; when the cedar Of
Lebanon shall be extensive as is durable; when
its shade and its fragrance shall refresh every ian
ting heart
| What glorious hour when all the false fires,
of paganism shall be put out when every idol
whether an image or seated in the heart, shall be
cast away and in its stead, shall be placed the gen.
uine tablet of the gospel.
/ The trees that the sacred writers have made
choice of embems of the prosperity of the
Church, arc very significant, likewise, on account
lof their continual verdure.
Like other trees oil the forest they are not with

THE OPINION

OF JOHN QUINCY ADAMS ON THE SUBJECT OF IN.
TEREAL IMPROVEMENTS.
The question oil the power OF congress to au-
thorlze the making of internal improvements is, in
other words, question whether the People OF this
Union, In forming their common social compact, as
avowediy Tor the purpose of promoting their general
welfare, have performed their work IN manner so
inetiably stupid, as to deny themselves the means
OF lettering their own condition. have too much
respect for the intellect of my country to believe it.
The first object OF human association is the improve
ment OF the condition OF the associated Roads and
Canals are among the most essential means of inn
proving the condition of nations ; and people,
which should deliberately, by the organization of It's
authorized power, deprive itself OF the faculty OF
multiplying It's own blessings, would be as wise as
creator who should undertake to constitute human
being without hearth
