She had her wish-for which in vain
She pined in restless Dreams
''Oh. mother! is this home again!
iiow desolate il seems!
Yet all tho dear familiar things
Look as they did ofyore,
But oh! the change this sad heart brings
1hs u my home no more!
left thee hike the dove of old
] left thy parent BREAST
But on liie's waste Of waters cold
My soul hath found no rest!
And back the weary bird is come,
Its woes--its wanderngs DER;
ke'sr from the holy ark to JOAN
Yet this Is hon.e no more!
Oh, mother, sing my childhood's songs;
They TALL like summers rain
On this worn Ir art, that vainly longs
10 be all thine again.
Speak comfort Ia me; call me yet
"Thy Mdry"-as Of yore;
Those words could make me half forget
That this is home no more.
Sit near me:-oh! this hour repays
Long years Of lonely pain;
feel nv if the old bright days
Were all come back again.
My heart beats thick with happy Dreams
Mine eyes with tears run Ger:
Tbou'rt with me, mother ;---oh. il seems
Like hOme----Our home once more!
Oh, home and mother! can ye not
Give back my hearts glad youth.
The visions which my soul forgot,

The JEws.-We have been much graf.
flied by the perusal of s'letter to the
Jews in this country" which appeared in
the Christian examiner for September
and nothing but its length prevents US
from giving it entire to our readers, not
only as proofof the erudition aud chris
tian philanthropy Of the author, but as a
specimen Of fine writing.
The propositions which this letter takes
are, that the prevalence at the Christian
era, of a belefin the power of demons to
perform supernatural works, accounts for
the fact that the miracles of Jesus did
not carry conviction to the milds CT the
Jews generally:
That the rejection Of christianity by
the Jews, in the age of lis PRONUNCIATION
was the natural consequence of its spir
itual character, so different from the tenn
poral dispensaton which they have al
ways anticipated:
That, therefore, the supposilion that
christianity is true, affords no ground for
denunciation of those by whom twas thus
rejected. What they did, was done thro'
ignorance mot excusable, certainly, Oh
the part Of all their leaders, but on that
OF the people in general, inevitable, and
therefore not criminal:
That the very ground on which chris,
tlani'y was then rejected, lis spiritual ma
ture, appears in our age, to unprecedented
minds, and with clearer light, to be, in
fact, the noblest feature of the religion,
constituting IFS great superiority over that
which our ancestors awaited, and afford
ing the only means for reconciling the
previous favor shown by GoD to the Jew.
