 THE PRAYER IN THE wILDERNEss.s
 By Mrs Hemdns. Tn the deep wilderness, unseen, she prayed The daughter of Jerusalem:-aone, With all the still small whispers of the night, And with the searching glances of the stars And with her God alonei She lifted up Her sad sweet voice, while trembling OCT her head The dark leaves thrilled with pryer-the fearful prayer or woman's quenehess yet repehtant love.
 "Father of spirits, hear! Look the inmost'soul, to The. revealed; Look on the fountain of the burning tear, Before Thy sight in solitude unse,ed!
 "Hear, Father hear, and aii! If have loved too well, if hay, she'd In my vain fdndness, OCT a mortal head, Gifts on Thy shrine, my God, nore fity laid:
 eff I have sought to live But in one light and made moral eye The lonely star of my idoatry,
 Thou, that art Love! oh, pity anl forgive!
 chastened and schooled at last No more, more my struggling spirit burns, But fixed on Thee, from that vain worship turns What have l said!-the deep drean is not past. . 'Yet hear!-if still love, Oh, still too fondly-if forever seen An earthly image comes my soul between And thy calm glory, Father, ,hrond above:
 eff still a voice is near, IEven while strive these wanderngsto contro,) An earthly voice, disqueting my soul
 With its deep music, too intensely dear:
 soh, Father, draw to Thee My lost affections backi-the dreaming eyes Clear from their mist-snstaiH the hearl that dies Give the worn soul once it's pniem free!
 q must love on, o God! This bosom B1nst love on!-but let Thy bre, h Touch and make pure the flame that knows death, Bearing 1t up to heaven, Love's own abode," Ages and ages past, the Wilderness, With it's dark cedars: and the thrill ling Night, With her pale stars; and the mysterious winds, Fraught with an sound conscious of those payers. How many such hath womans bursting heart Since then in silence and in darkness breatled, Like dim night-fower's odour, up to God! Suggested by picture of kneeling Magdalen.

 HYMN.
 20 thee'O God, in humble trust,
 sOur hearts this grateful incense burn
 For this thy wcrd-" thou art of dust,
 And unto dust shalt thou return."
 For what life, life's work all done,
 The hopes, joys, love that cling to clay,
 All, all departed, one by one,
 And yet lfe's load borne for aye!
 Decay! Decay! Iris stamped on aI
 All bloom, in flower and ftsh shall fade:
 Ye whispering trees, where we shall fall,
 Be our fong sleep beneath your shade
 Here, to thy bosom, mother Earth,
 Take back, in peace, what thou hast given:
 And all, that is of heavenly birth,
 70 God, ill peace, recall to Heaven

fish Constitution, but it was in times OF CIVIL
-commotion, when the controversy between
Charles and the Parliament was at its height, ana
no opportunity was afforded Of ascertainlng from
experience in what way the exclusion OF the
Bishops from Parliament would affect the stan'l,
ty Of the Church. Whether Or not the effect would
be to dissolve entirely the connexlon subsst'hs
between the Church and the. Go'ernment-whe-
Their, when the cohesion is once loosened, the
whole structure, supported as much by law as
the attachment of the people, would cra"be IN
to ruin. is matter of speculation, which even
those most conversant with the theory and prac'
t,ce of the English Government could hardly ven
ture to decide. But the result, at any rate
would be the diffusion of more liberal and tole-
rant spirit; and finally, perhaps, Religion would
be seen armed only with the weapons of"truth'
and supported by the intrinsic cxcellency OF its
doctrines.

is intellectual. and what is more. on the side of
the millions" They talk of fine heads and
high foreheads, intelligent eyes. and noble mien
why this is sheer nonsense; some of the worst

BY looking characters. For instance, Pope. Vol

We have hitherto neglected TO notice n
neatly printed &excellen; selection Of Church
Music, lately published by our townsman,
Mr.. Henry Smith. Although we do moi
profess to be connoisseurs in music, vet from
what little we do know of il, and from the
recommendations we have seen, by men bet
ter skilled in such matters than we are, we
can confidently recommend it to the public
as first rate work Of the kind Attic last
sessions Of the lions Chassis Of the German
Reformed Church, and the Eastern Confer
ence of the Evan. Lutheran Synod of West
Pennsylvania, resolutions, highly common
datory ofthe work and hattering TO the pub
Usher, were adopted by those reverend bo-
dies. In addition 10 the taste displayed by
the publisher, in the selection Of tunes. we
may add that the very low price Of the book
will be considerable inducement ia the com
munity TO have il introduced into Singing
Schools and Societies throughout the coun
try, generally. We should be pleased TO
see il favorably received, and the publisher
remuneraled for his labor and expense.

Resuscitation.-It is stated in an Ohio
paper that two men recently descended
into well, g. were both Immediately de-
prived of every appearance of life. They
were restored by dashing bucket OF
cold water upon them. If life may be
restored by this means, when suspended
by the noxious gas of wells, it is SO simple
and convenient remedy that it would
be important to bear it in mind.
