THE GRAVES OF TIL. MARTYRS.
At the instance of a Society institu-
ted in Renfrewshire and Ayrshire for
the purpose of renewing the grave
stones erected over the different indivi-
duals who suffered for the cause of
Christ during the persecution in Scot
land, the Rev. ]. Milwain preached on
the 2Sth Of August at Priesthill, a few
miles north ofthe village of Muirkirk,
when the sum of III Is. Sd. was col
lected. Priesthill is in the midst of d
wild solitude, environed by hills cover
ed with heath, which give it the APP
pearance of a spacious amphitheatre.-
A green sloping bank faces the south,
with mountain stream silently wind
ing along its bottom. Here, TO the
east, stood the hospitable mansion of
the celebrated John Brown, which was
ever open to the benighted stranger,
and often happy asylum TO the perse-
cuted saint. Nothing but its vestiges
now remain. The grave OF this good
man is about forty yards to the west =
1t is covered with large massy stone,
which lies in a horizontal POSITION
Around its margin there is a prose in
scription which encloses an acrostic in
the centre. Having endured the bat
tering of many a wintry storm, without
any fence whatever around it, the whole
inscription is considerably defaced, but
not altogether illegible; and the shep-
herd regards it no mean proof Of his
erudition and ingenuity 10 be able to
decypher it correctly. 1t is proposed
now to put an iron rail round it, raise
square pillar to point out the spot,
and allow the present stone and letter
ing to remain, as they will soon become
venerable specimens Of antiquity. A
little further onward to the west, ira
dition points to the hallowed spot
where this good man calmly uttered
his departing prayer, fondly embraced
his wife and children, and with holy re-
signation breathed his last, UNDECIDED
and uncontrolled but by the Lord he
served, and his ministering spirits. In
those days Of proud Episcopalian do
minion, standing army was employed
to enlighten mems consciences and con-
viHce them of the truth ofthe establish

DESPAIR.
There is dream that banishes
Lies hour of hope away,
Before it, beauty vanishes,
Nor heaven.born love darcs stay.
1t stamps the brow with car
Pleasure afar is driven,
It's victim sighs no praye.,
Nor lifts an eye to Heaven.
All fearless is his check
All obdurate his heart;
Relief ne will not deign to seek
From drops that will not start
Creations all blank
To him who feels its sting;
Nor would he even thank
Protection for her wing.
With frenzy reels his brain,
What frantic thoughts are there!
How like is man to Cain,
Touch'd by thy wand, DESPAIR!
On man his awful malison,
On nature and her God,
He darts, and when his wrath is done,
He bows not to the rod.
Then mark his altered mein-
How abstract is his eye!-
When all his rage IS turned again,
To silent agony.
Glory and greatness he resigns,
With one convulsive sigh
But yet for these one moment shines,
The last light of his eye,
Mercy, and truth, and hope, and love,
Are exiled from his soul
Around, within, below, above,
He sees destruction roll;
Lash'd by the elements Of life,
He yields, victim, tame,
And thinks no more of home and wife,
Of honors and a name.
He bids the world stern adieu,
Nor asks for happiness
Indifferent is the present view,
With none to curse or bless
Eternity to him is void,
And time lengthen'd pain
His happy visions all destroy'd-
When shall they beam again!
o! shield me from that hour,
My life's great guardian!-spare
My soul the Gliding hour
Ofthankless, stern DEsPAIR!- NJ.
