shall expec' to find at my heels, in the person of
Caius Gracious, a faithful squire, worthy of bis
chief and patron In the mean time propose TO
him in sober seriousness, temporary suspension
of hostilities, His eXertions during the last fall
contributed very much as | am informed TO obtain
legislative appropriation Of $500 Tor the Auxiliary
Society of Richmond and Manchester. a similar
appropriation, at the next session, will most pro-
badly be desirable; and can not help hoping, that
renewal of his attack, at period not too remote
from the cemence OF the session, " III have
its appropriate effect and open still wider towards
the object of his hostility, the hearts OF egisa-
tors, and the purse-shings Of the state.

TEE sUMDAAX SCHOOL.

Group after group are gaiherins-s Such as prest
Once 10 their Saivour's arms, and gertly laid
Their cherub heads upon his shielding breas,
Though sterner souls the fond approach forbade :
Group after group glide on with noiseless tread
And round Jehovah's sacred al ar meet,
Where holy thoughts in infah, hearts are bred,
And holy words their ruby lips repeat,
Oft with chastened glance, in meditation sweet.
Yet some there upon whose childish brows
Wan poverty hath done the work of care;
Look up, ye sad ones! tits your fcther'5 hose
Beneath whose consecrated dome you arei
More gorgeous robes We see, and tappings rare,
And watch the gauder forms that gaily move,
And deem, perchance, mistaken as you are,
The " coat of many coors' proves Ills love,
Whose sign is in the heart and whose reward a6ore.
And We, best laborcrs in this humble sphere,
To deeds of sant-lke charity inc'in'd,
Who from your cells of meditation dear.
Come forth to gfd the weak, untnsor'd mind, -
Yet ask no payment save one smile refin'G
OF grateful love,-one tear of contrlte pain,
MeekIy We forfeit to your mission kind
The rest of earthly Sab6aths BE your gain,
A Sabbath without end, mid yon celestial plsn
