BENEVOLENCE OF GOD.

In turning over the sacred books, we find them
full of various information concerning the interest
which God bath taken in man from the very first,
and the schemes which he hath on foot to melior-
ate our state, the desire he hath to contribute
present happiness, and the views he hath for our
future glory. He presents himself as our father,
who first breathed in nostrs The breath Of life land
ever since hath nourshed and brought US up as chill
dren.-He declares himself to have prepared the
earth for our habitation; and for our sakes to have
made its woElb TEEN with various food, with beauty
and with life. For our sakes no less he garnshed
the heavens and created the whole host of them
with the breath Of his mouth, bringing the sun forth
from his chamber every morning with the joy of
bridegroom and giants strength, to shed his
cheerful light over the face of creation, and draw
blooming life from the bosom of the earth.-From
him also was derived the wonderful workmanship
of our irames-the eye in whose orb OF beauty Is
pencilled the whole orbs OF heaven and of earth,
for the mind to pursue and know and possess and
rejoice over, even if the whole universe were her
own-the ear, in whose vocal chambers are enter
tanned harmonious numbers, the melody OF rejoIc
ing nature, the welcomes and salutations OF friends
the whisperings of love. the voices OF parents and
children, with all the sweetness and the power that
dwell upon the tongue of man. Ills also is the gift
OF the beating heart, flooding all the hidden recesses
of the human frame with the tide Of lile-his the
cunning of the hand, whose workmanship turns rude
and raw materials to such pleasant forms and whole
some uses-his the whole vital frame of man, which

Loud hows the tempest to the startled ear
Deep means the blast DER autumn's glory fled.
It's winter and hail the monarch's reign!

When meath its frown the slowly pating rain,
Congealng, gitters on those locks OF snow

When Winter waves the sceptre of command.

Thou bring'st, unseen, no keen envenomed dart:

FROM THE NATIONAL IarELLIGENcEa
SONG.
TUNE-Bonny Doom.
'Tis sweet, in twilght's pensive gray,
Whilst through world of troubles driven,
To steal the soul from care away
To dream of friends, or picture Heaven.
For then will fancies, fttul, wild,
And dreams of past enjoyment come,
To glad the heart of Natures child
With visions Of dear-loy'd home;
And re.illume, of by-gone years,
The joys, the hopes, that once were mine,
Unclouded by the mist of tears
Undimm'd by sorrow, still they shine:
For, haIlow'd by mothers love,
And sisters smiles, where'er roam,
My heart, like that of Noah's dove,
Still fondly turns to home-loy'd home!

THE wRECK.-BY Mrs. HsaAs

The WRECK.-BY Mrs. HEMANs
"All night the booming mnute-gun
Had pealed along the deep,
And mournfully the rising sun
Look'd DER The tde-worn steep,
A bark, from midas coral strand.
Before the rushing blast,
Had vailed her topsais TO the sand,
And bowed her noble mast.
The queenly ship brave hearts had strs1
And true ones died with her
We saw her mighty cable riyen,
Like floating gossamer!
We saw her proud flag struck that morn,
s,ar once o'er the seas,
Her helm beat down, her deck uptorn,--
And sadder things than these.
We her treasures cast away;
The rocks with pearl were Awn;
And, strangely sad, the ruby's ray
Flashed out DER fretted stol e;
And gold was slrewn the wet sands DER,
Like ashes BY breeze,
And gorgeous robes,-buI oh that shore
Had ssdder sights than these!
We saw the strong man, still and low,
A crnsh'd reed thrown aside!
Yet, By mat rigid lip and brow,
Not Without strife he died!
And near hirl on the sea-weed lay,
Till then We had not wept,
But well our gushing hearts might say,
That there mother slept;
For her pale arms babe had presseds
With such wrea,hing grasp,
Biliows had dashed DER that fond breast,
Yet not nndone the clasp.
Her very tresses had been fung
To wrap the fair child's form,
Where still their wet, long streamers chung,
All tangled by the storm.
And beautiful mids that wild scene,
Gleam'd up the boys dead face,
Like Slumber's, trusingly serene,
In melancholy grace.
Deep in her bosom lay his head,
With half-shut violet eye;
He had known little of her dread,
Naught OF her agony!
Oh, human love! whose yearning heart
Through all things vanly true,
So stamps upon thy mortal part,
Its passionate adieu.
Surely thou hast another II,
There is some home for thee,
Where thou shalt rest, remembering not
The moaning of the sea!''
"This circumstance is related of Mrs. Cargl, an
of some eelebri,y, who shipwrecked on the TO.
cilly, when returning from India"
