And diamonds all the stars of night,

Then hear him, with his gaspng breath,
For one poor moment crave
Fool woudst thou stay the arm of Death
Ask of,hy gold to save
No, no, the soul ne'er found relief
In glittering boards of wealth;
Gems dazzle not the eye of grief,
Gold cannot purchase health
But here blessed balm appears
To heal the deepest woe;
And he tha, seeks this Book in tears,
His tears shall cease to flow.

HOMIE.

That IS not home, where, day by day,
! wear the busy hours away;
lhat IS not home, where lonely NIGHT
Prepares me for the tolls of light
LIS nope, and JOY, and memory, give
a nome IN which the heart can live.
ihese walls no lingering hopes endear,
NO fond remembrance chains me here
Cheerless heaye the lonely sigh
Eliza, cans't thou tell me why'

And nome, without thee, cannot be.
There are who strangely love 10 roam.
ana nild IN widest hallnts their home;
An, hno some IN halls and lordy state,
Who yet are homeless, desoIare.
The sailors home is on the main.
Ihe warriors on the tented plain;
The maiden's, in her bower of rest,
Inc INFANTS, on its mothers breast;
But where thou art is home to me.
And home, without thee, cannot be.
There is no home in halls of pride.
they are too high, and cold, and wide.
NO home is by the wanderer found;
lis not IN place-it hath no bound.
1t is circlng atmosphere,
Investing all the heart holds dear;
a law, OF strange, attractive force,
That holds the feelings in their course;
1t IS presence undefn'd,
O'ershadowing the conscious mind,
Where love and duty sweety blend
To consecrate the name of friend,
Where'er thou art is home to me,
And home, without thee, cannot be.
Ny love, forgive the anxious sigh
hear the moments rushing by,
And think that life is fieeting fast.
That youth with us will soon be past.
Oh when will time, consen,ing, give
The home in which my heart can live
There shall the past and future meet,
And DER our couch. in union sweet,
Extend their cherub wings, and shower
Bright influence on the present hour.
Oh! when shall Israel's mystic guide,
The pillar'd cloud, our steps decide;
Then resting, spread its guardian shade,
70 bless the home which love hath made.
Daily, my love, shall thence arise
Our hearts united sacrifice:
And home, indeed, home will be.
Thus consecrate and shar'd with thee.

Soon after the promulgation of DR.. Chalmers
lame, he preached in London on public occasion
in Rowland Hill's Chapel. His audience was nu
merous, and principally of he higher circles Up
wards OF orc hundred clergynen were present, Ia
whom the front seats in the gallery were appropria
ted. In the midst of these sat Mr. Hill himself in
state OF great anxiety, arising from his hopes and
fearful that he would not succeed before an audience
SO refined and critical. The Doctor as usual, be
gan in his low, monotonous tone, and his broad pro-
sncia dialect was vsby disagreeabe to the delicate
ears OF his metropolitan audience. Poor MIR. Hill
was now upon the rack but the man of God hay.
ing thrown his chain around the audience, took an
unguarded moment to touch it with the electric fluid
OF his oratory and, In moment, every heart be eal,
to throb, and every eye to fill. Knowing we'll how
to take advantage OF this bold stroke he continued
to ascend and, SO majestic and rapid wa. his fight,
that in few minutes he obtained an eminence so
high that every imagination was enraptured The
rapid change from depression to Joy, which Mr.
Hill experienced was too much for him to bear
He fell SO bewildered and intoxicated with ioy that.
unconsciously, he started up from his scat, and be
fore his brethren could interfere he struck the front
of the gallery with his cIenched fist and roared out
with s'entorian voice" Well done. Chamers!' ~
