MIRIAM,

OR THE POWER OF TRUTH.
a Jecish Iale-by the author Of Influence.
Miriam is religious tale, founded on an inter
esling anecdote of an American Jew, who was con.
verted TO Christianity by the dying admonisions OF
only child, beautiful girl, VINO, unknown to her
father, had embraced the Christian faith. This
anecdote has been ampllfed into very excellent
and we'll told tale, full OF palhos, and written in
very pleasing style.-NVe quote, as specimen, the
dying scene -
miriam turned pale, and with great solemnity
replied, Aye, yet such love on earth. my father,
is doIatry, and must in mercy be riven asunder
lest its false light should lead you to eternal dark
ness But" added she, raising herself and look
ing at her father with an expression never alter
wards forgotten, " do you lore ME ?-noi for what
am to you-but apart from yourself could your
love grant solemn request and soiemnly
fulfil it? Could it forgive the violence which thar
request might do to the dearest feelings of your
bosom ?--and forget all else. the purpose for
which it was asked. and her who asked t?''
Imlah felt alarmed, for although the voice Of
Miriam was calm, and her countenance serene as
cloudess moonlight, he believed that her mind
wandered IN some delirious phantasy; till suddenly
recoecting the fatal alliance he had Engaged her

From the NeW York: Statesman.
A NE ENGLAND VILLAGE.

n AVE- w -ENIlAAND v lLLAGF,.
There stand the holy spires of prayer,
Deyoutly looking unto heaven,
Like moral telegraphs, TO bear,
The upward thoughts of the forgiven.
And as the sun gilt windows CLEAN
IN their unstalned transparency,
Chaste thoughts come DER me, as dream
Of that soft hour when, tenderly,
he gray haired pastor crossed my brow
With water from the font OF snow.
How sweetly every mansion lifts
It's clean white front among the trees,
While the blue smoke in curly drifts,
Sails off before the healthy breeze
Behind each roof, long meadows slope
In swards that blush with clover blossoms,
And new washed clothes, swing on the rope,
Just hung by maids of swelling bosoms,
And there the yellow street is seen,
Ribbon'd both sides with virgin green.
With what spruce and dressy air,
The tavern shows its painted sign;
Causing the traveller to stare,
And cypher out the gold leaf line.
And yonder is the merchants stand,
Where, on the benches round the door,
Gather the story telling band,
And all burst out in hearty roar,
As some wild wag, at his tongues rots
Deals the convulsiye anecdote.
Why is the dust in such ragel
1t IS the yearly caravan,
OF pedlars on their pilgrimage
To southern marts, full OF Japan,
And tin and wooden furniture,
That try to charm the passing eve;
And spices, which I'm very sure
Meier saw the coast of Araby.
Lord how the women start and run
To catch look ere they are gone.
Close at the foot of yon small hill,
The district school. house wins the view;
Where The young urchins 'gainst their will,
In Jabbering rows their tasks pursue.
And there's the turf on which they play,
And tan their open-collar'd necks;
And there's the brook, where every day,
Thei' paper barks meet sad shipwrecks
OF little hopes, that now endure
The future world in miniature.
These scenes are pleasant; but there's one
More precious to the heart than all.
1t when on abe car, the tune
OF mellow bells, with gentle fall,
Proclaims the sabbath morn is come.
Then, every road and paths alive
With young and old,-none stay at home:
But clad IN best attire, all strive
10 fill their places lest they hear
In private, from the minister.
And when from some wood waving height,
Upon the moss at leisure thrown;
] view the sylvan shade and light,
And know the landscape is my own.
Dear native land ; when behold
The grassy lawn the auburn wheat,
The mill, the mountains edged with gold,
And hear the pastoral song and bleat;
Oh how bless with streaming eyes,
That heaven which gave the paradise N.
