 TO NIGHT-Written at midnlght. Hail, beauteous Night! thou art to me A glory and n mystery; A thing of shadows, and thing
 Ofawful brightncss--on thy sky have been gazing till thy wing Hath flung holy witchery Upon my spirit-raising there Bright images of things too far For earh-or things which ne'er shall be In aught save youths wild fantasy. And have ever loved thee, Night! With thy far sapphire dark'y bright, And thy dim stars that to my eye Seem glorious beings ofthe sky, Who come from heav'n's bright land to keep Watchings OCT earth while earthIiuss sleep, And Der their woes unseen to weep Aud it hath been my hUliest glee
 To gaze upon thee as in might Thou Acetest on so glorioWsIy,
 With ebon brow and eye of light:-- For Giory's hand hath link'd with thee The mage of Divinity. And cen ia childhood's golden hour, When earth was hush'd in slunber, 1 Would lay me in some lonely bower
 To gaze upon thy heauleous sky,
 And in each zephyr-passing Nsh
 heard n spirits voice float by, Bidding me kneel to Him whose power Had l,t lhose lamps on high: And then kneIt--ani then there came A something OCT me, like the flame Of serAph's love, which seem'd to tell Ofjny. on high unquenchabIc. And when rose, methought my prayer Was henrd-for on the midnigh, air Came sweetcr scents and sounds more fair. And now, though years have tanned the wild Un,hinkins fancics of the child, And wither'd hopes have cast . blight Upon my spirit, yet with night Comes that same power which was to ne The rainbow bright of infancy: The same still voice that calls to prayer, The same sweet brea,hngs from the sky, The same brigh. beings of the air,
 Come stealing on the zephyr by, And leave me there, the proud, the free, As weak as humblest infancy. SEpLEY.

m .,oyt article, week or two ago, tt was stated ,h., ,e Rev. Stiles Hawley, an agent of the Hartford s..,bs,b school Union was drowned in crossing one of,be branches of the Kaskaskia river, in Illinois, Since then more authentic and particular intelligence ba. been received. It appears he was drowned on he 18th of January, and his body found until ele- ven weeks afterwards. Approximations were at one time entertained that he had been murdered by par w of Osage Indans and the woods each side of the main road for IA Is miles secured to find the body; but t was finally found in the river about half mile below where it was supposed he attempted to cross, lodged among some drift wood. MT. Hawley was a native of Ridgefeld in Fairfield county. The following beautiful lines hisdeath, copied from the Connecticut Observer, from the pen of the highly gifted Mrs. Sigourpey:
 oN THE DEATH or THE REV. MIR. HAWLEY. Cold sweep the waters OCT thee. Thou hast fonnd Mid all the ardour of thy youthful zeal, And self.devotion to thy Masters cause
 An unexpected bed-The ice-swoln tides Of the Kaskaskia shall no more resound To the wide struggle of thy failing steed, Nor that deep plunge which gave thy soul 10 God.
 Say, 'md thy journeyingso'er the snow-clad waste Of yon lone prairie, on that fearful day
 When Death was by thy side. where dwelt thy thot Upon thy angeLmission, or the scenes
 Of thy loy'd home, with all its sheterng trees And tuneful sound of waters ?-Didst thou hope When heavens pure seed should blossom in the soil Of the far Illinois, again to cit Around that 6re.side and recount thy tolls, .# Mingling thy prayers with those who iondly nurs'd Thy tender infancy ?-Now there are tears In that abode, whene'er thy cherish'd name Breaks from the trembling lip. Oh! ye who mourn With hoary temples o'er the smitten son
 Slain in his Saviour's cause, know ye that pain Shall never vex him more ?-Perl and change, And winters blast and summers sultry ray And sinful snare, what are they no'c to him But dim.remember'd names If 'twere so sweet To have a son earth, where every III
 Might pointa sword against his heart, and pierce Your own through his,--are ye not doubly bIest To haue e soe ias Heapen? H.
