s,edby readiu; tho Rev. a. Enpe's 'Remarks ON Unve
'al'sm" aud tho dsnoro,ns effects OF ts doctrines.
saw = Temple grand, of gold most pure,
tron towering mountain stand founded
Upon mighty Rock by age made hoar.
ATound the tcmplu was a garden, vast
~ on's"t, In culture clean and beautiful
The Rose OF Sharon" blussomed there, and shed
It's perfume thro' the Temples courts:
The Lily Of the Valley" and all flowers
That charm the eye, and fragrance lend, were there.
i u,eSs o hank'nceose, aloes, myrrh aud Spices"
nWth the appc-tiee whose fruit sweet TO t,s,,o
Ih-fe bioomcd and in the midst u fountain PLAYED
Whose living waters thrC' the garden ran
nnig gave perennial beauty to tho place.
The singing sweet, of birds and turtles voico
Meloiious music in uncoasing concert
Walked, which filled the list'nets soul with holy
Ecsia'y. The gentle Dove there made her n..,
within the peaceful clcits Of the Great Rock
On when was built the radiant golden dome.
=, ePon the mountain Skipped the Hart aud Roe,
i"r none were there To mar their happiness;
Aud there, in undisturbed aud auiot Joy
Mowsed the meek lamb, for neither rav'nou, beast,
Nor brd OF prey was on that mountain seen.
And joyful songs emrlo yod the tune fu tongues
OF those who dwelt within that Temple puto;
For, each one FEARED to offend the Architect
Divine, and therefore lived in lloLuNEss
and '.nuous aud happy was. There Hope
Hor fairy fingers from the harp awaked
The notes meiluous of lions songs;
Ana faith her "omernd bows in vivic hue
Painted upon each MORNINGS bliss al brow.
And Charity affections holy lire
Upon tho Temples sacred Altar lit
Which eve, brightly burned diirus,ns Loves
sweet haliowed incense round all hearts Sorrow
Ilofe found "A balm for all her wocs-the tear
Alone, of resignation filed her eye--
AUD her pale face contcntment's placid smile inr.
for mlnstnns Angels lull'd her gticrs to rest.
"a change"
Cnme DER my dreem," dreadful change! that hll'd
MY soul with horror, and concealed my veins
The Temple of pure gold was dim d.Glol
Wnh'blood aud rust-a Wilderness the garden
w It'll niambles and with net,lcs ovefgrowa
The Wild beasts of tho Desert pro " led thercin-
Inc seteech-owl Bitten, Con,orant screamed there
And Grove away tho happy singing birds '
The fountain OF pure water stained with blood
Dyed ~ ats course the once clean, verdant bank
And Vice within the Temples sacred court,
An awful not held confusion reigned
Der all tho holy mount. Atliightcd fled
The Daughters OF Jcrusolam to hide
within the secret places of tho Rock
But oven there the Vulturo caught tho Dove
And while he pucked its meek ewes ont .r,,o,..I 49,,
fearless exutation. Drunkenness WIZ
With murder, and lccnciousness, reckless
F n cen beneath the eye of day, yelling
mo punishment, no He'll, no fear of tsoi,,,
Temper let loose, tho tenderost ties ,yero b,olo
The sentlost wife had no security Wv N''
But sunk beneath mad Passion hand and diod
While furnishing the babe lay at hor breast
The uNREPENTiNG husband ia his wrath
Cries out-"No punishment, no fear of God,,,
And POveTt, became n suicide
lie criod, 81 will not 1.-Two in ponury
When Heaven and all il. riches shall bo nina
IL but courage have to oudmy life,
No punishment, no He'll, fear of Godn-
Then cut his throat and sought ETERNITY
And why this moral change?-The Evil Ooo
VINO To an Angel oft transforms himself
Had visited that place in pleasing guis,
And as to Eve, in days o. yore he prencbed
believe not God, you shall not surely die,-
SO now with guiliiul tongue he prophosieJ
There is no punishment beyond the .rnvo
For uurcpented sn--thcn pluck and eat
The fruit forbidden, tll yc're satistied-
10 Heaven We all shall go--the Saviour died
For all mankind- then SIM there is no u.Il,
Ttis Passion gladly heard and unres,roin.d
With topid stride stalkcd though the mount
Deiacins every moral beauty there
Exclam,ng o'or the Wicked deeds he did
"Nopunishmcnt No IIELL no fear of t,odr,,
