THE MAIDEN'S PRAYER,

She rose from her delicious sleep,
And put away her soft brown hair;
And in a tone as low and deep e,
AS loves first whisper, bresthed aprayer
Her snow white hands together pressedi
Her blue eyes sheltered in the lid,
The folded linen on her breast
Just swelling with the charms it hid;
And from her long and flowing dress
Escaped bare and snowy foot,
Whose step upon the earth did press,
Like new snow flake, white and mute,
And there, from slumber soil and warm,
Like young spirit fresh from heaven,
She bowed that slight and matcbless form,
And humbly prayed to ba forgiven.
OGod if souls unsoiled as these
Need daily mercy from thy throne;
If she upon her Blended knees,
Our loveliest and our purestone--
She, with face so clear and bright,
We deem her some stray child of light
Ifshe, with those soft eyes in tears,
Day after day, in her young years,
Must kneel and pray for grace from Thee,
What far, far deepergneed have ,Dei
How hardly, if she win not heaven,
Will our wild errors be forgiven

MORAL REFLECTIONS.


1t is good when the week is ended to
look back upon its business and tolls,
and mark wherein we have failed of our
duties or come short ofwhat we should
have done. The close of the week
should be to each one of us like the close
of our lives. Every thing should be adj
iusted with the world and with God as
if we were about to leave the one and
appear before the other, The week is
indeed, one of the regular divisions Of
life, and when it closes it should not be
without its moral, From the end oil
one week to the end of another, the
mind can easily stretch onward, to the
close ofexistence. 1t can sweep down
the stream of time TO the distant period
when it will be entirely beyond human
power to regulate human affairs. Satur-
day is the time for moral reflection.
When for the mercies Of the week we
are thankful. and when our past months,
and years, come up in succession before
us-we see the vanity of our youth
full days, and the vexations Of manhood
and tremble at the approaching winter o.
age. 1t is then we should withdraw
from the business and cares ofthe world
and give a thought to our end, and tc
what we are TO be hereafter.
The statesman, lawyer, merchant, man O
trade,
Pants for the refuge ofsome rural shade,
Where, all his long anXieiies forgot,
Amid the charm of a sequester'd spot,
Or recollected~only to glide DER,
And add smile TO what was sweet before,
How may possess the joys he thinks he sees
Lay his old age upon the lap ofease,
Improve the remnant of his wasted span,
