POETRY.

The following hymn was sung in Salem,
Mass at the conservation of new
Church in that place. This simple
devotional piece is from the pen and
from the heart of the Rev. Mr.. Pier
pont, of Boston, the author of the Airs
of Palestine.
0 Thou, to whom in ancient time,
The Tyre of Hebrew bards was strung,
Whom kings adored in songs sublime,
And prophets praised with glowing tongue.
Not now, on lions height alone,
The favoured worshppers mayidwell,
Nor where, at sultry noon, thy Son
Sat, weary, by the Patriarch's well.
From every place below the skies,
The grateful song, the fervent prayer
The incense of the heart-may rise
To Heaven, and find acceptance there.
In this Thy house, whose doors we now
For social worship first unfold,
To thee the suppliaut throng shall bow,
w ME clrclnS years OH years are roiieu'
To Thee. shall Age. with snowy hair,
And Strength and Beauty, bend the knee,
And childhood lisp, with reverend air,
Its praises and its prayers to Thee.
o Thou, to whom in ancient time,
The Tyre prophet bards was strung,
To 1baa Loot in ax arv cI;,pa
Shall temples rise, and praise be sung.

gulary published, during the session.

PROSPECTUS
Of a weekly religious paper, to be published IL
Cincinnati, to be entitled
LIONS ADVOCATE,
AND
U,ESLEYd.H REGISTER.

II has been subject of regret to the reli-
gious community, that so few publications, in
tended to disseminate moral and religious in
telhgence, have succeeded in the Western
Country. Want of support. to those that
have tailed, has prevented renewed attempts
being made for the establishment of papers of
this description. The increasing number of
members Of the Methodist Church, demand a
publication of this kind; and it is to them we
look for support yet to our christian friends
of other denominations, who wish to extend
the circulation of "glad tidngs of great joy
which shall be unto all people," the ADVOCATE
will also be useful messenger.
We deem it unnecessary to give detailed
plan, to be observed in the ZIoN's ADVOCATE;
general one shall suffice.
In addition to religious information, such as
Practical Sermons and Dissertations, Missopa.
ry Intelligence, Reveals, &c. Literary Arti-
cles will be inserted. A summary of Foreign
and Domestic News will be given and infor-
nation OF general nature, will occur small
portion IF the paper. One page will b de-
voted to advertisements.

A SQUALL IN THE DELAWARE.

The Brig Sea horse, Tilden, from this port for
Porto Rico was upset in the Delaware bay, in
heavy squal on Tuesday morning. The supercar-
go, Mr.. Simmons. returned on Saturday morning
in the Steam Boat. All the passengers and crew
were saved. The brig is now drifting up and down
the bay, with two pilot boats and soop along side
She was lying bottom up. Two ladies were in the
cabin at the time OF the upset; one Of them was
washed out through the skylight; the other re-
ter deck was cut away, and the woman got out unin-
jured
The Ship Franklin from this port for New Or
leans, was struck with the same squall, which split
her main top gallant sail and main top sail, and
carried away her main yard and gibboom.--The
ship, after repairing damages, has proceeded on her
voyage. Philadelphia Press, May IS,

China Ships.-We mentioned as an event me-
riting public appreciation, the navigation of rich
Canton ship into the port Of Philadelphia, by lad
eighteen years of age.
Capt. lsaacks, OF the Woodrop Sims, died in lat.
Ia south, long Is west and for eight days previous
to his death, he was unable TO navigate his ship
his FIRST mate was left in Canton, and his second
mate, although good seaman, quite llerae.
The entire duty of sailing the ship devoved young
Leiar, who conducted it with skill and Judgment
particularly near Cape Hatteras, where they expe-
renced several gales from N. E.
The Woodrop Sims, we learn, was not insured
and we are also informed that the owner, Mr.
Thompson, generously gave fifty dollarst to the
lad. Had young Lelar been an apprentice to Tho
mas H. Smith, such an event would have broueh
him golden favors. Enterprise and skill in hazard
GUS employments should ever be rewarded by libe
raity and public appreciation.
