Re'Uard of Hypocrisy.--It is said that when Con-
stantius, the father of Constantine, came ON The
throne he issued an edict that all Christians in office
should renounce Christianity, quit their places.
The greater part OF them readily gave up their en-
ployment to preserve good conscience but few
cringed and renounced Christianity When the
Emperor had thus made full proof of their DISPOSE
ton, he turned out every one who had complied
and took all the others again, giving this as the
son for his conduct, that those who would not be
faithful to Christ would not be faithful to him."

LOVE.

Yes my Gianna,
Wherever we are in Gods great universe
A sun will rise---a sun will set-thy smile
Can make desert bloom. Tho we may not
Knee down 10 heaven in consecrated domes,
Night shall spread round her archcd shadows, and
Build us solemn temple more sublime
Than e'er the feeble hand of man could frame:
The moon shall be our living lamp we'll Join
The glorious congregation Of the stars
In their eternal hymns. Oh shall find
Solitude peopled in Giauna's smiles,
And hold the world well lost that leaves thee mine.

THE FELoN.

BY NJ. G. LEV
Oh, mark bis wan and hollow cheek,
And mark his eye-ball's glare
And mark his teeth in anguish clench'd,
The anguish of despair!
Know since three days his penance borne,
Yon felon left the jail
And since three days no food has passd
Those lips so parched and pale.
"Where shall turn" the wretch exclaims,
Where hide my shameful head
How fly from scorn' Oh how contrve
To earn my honest bread'
This branded hand would gladly toll,
But when for work pray,
Who sees this mark, IA Feion,' cries.
And loathing turns away.
This heart has greatly err'd, but now
Would fain revert to good
This hand has deeply sinn'd, but yet
Has ne'er been stained with blood;
For work or aims in vain sue,
The scorners both deny.

There pleasure spreads her snare
Strong habit drags me back to vice,
And urged by fierce despair,
strive while hunger gnaws my heart,
To fly from shame in vain
World, It's thy cruel will II yield,
And plunge in guilt again.
There's mercy in each ray of light
That mortal eyes e'er saw;
There's mercy in each breath of air
That mortal lips e'er draw;
There's mercy both for man and beast
In Cons indulgent plan;
There's mercy in each creeping thing,
But Man has none for Man.

to take their seats in the order in which
