Nh, day. no, hour should lengthen my span:
,C6s few iutiI mornings that drawn on US here
Ara enouoh for lile's woes, full enough for its
cheer.
Would no, go the path which the prophets Of
God, @
Apostles and Martyrs, so joyfully trodf
while brethren and friends are all Fastening
home, go
Like a spiri, snbtese DER the earth would roam'
Iwou!d not Rue a,oay-I ask not to stay.
Where storm after storm rises dark o er the way
Where seeking for peace, we but hover around
Like the Patriarch's bmd-and no resting is
Where Hope, when she paints her gay bow in
the air,
Leaves its brilliaace to fade in the night Of des
pair.
And Joys fleeting angel ue'er sheds glad ray,
Save the CLEAN Of the plumage that bears him
awav.
,co,.id not hiue al,cay-thus feiter'd BY sin.
Termination without aud corruption within:
In moment of strength. il sever the chain,
Scarce the victUry's mine than Pm captive again.
Fen the rapture Of pardon is mingled with fears,
And ny cup Of thanksgiving with penitent tears.
The festival trump calls for jublant songs.
Blu. my spirit her own miserere proongs
rould not ire ai,oay-no welcome the tomb;
ymmortalty's lamp burns there bright mid the
gloom;
There too is the pillow where Christ how'd his
head
Sweet, sweet te my slumbers on that holy bed.
But sweeter the morn which shall follow that
night,
When the sunrise of glory shall beam on my
/. sight,
When the full matn. song as the sleepers arise
To hail the best morning shall peal thro' the
skies.
Uho. vho ,could irs aiVay-away from his
God,
Away from yon heav'n that bissful abode,
Where the rivers Of pleasure How DER the bright
plains,
And the nooutide of glory eternally reigns;
Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet,
Their God and each other transported tn greet,
While the anthems of rapture increasingly roll.
And the smile Of the Lord Is the feast of the soul
That heavenly music! What is it hears
The notes OF the harpers ring sweet in the air;
And see, soft unfolding those portals Of gold!
The king all array'd in bis beauty behold!
o give me. O give me the wings Of a dove
Let me hasten my flight to that palace above:
Yea, tits now that my soul on clad pnious would
soar,
And in ecstacy bid earth adieu evermore.

MR. BLAIR AND Mr.. GREEN.

We have looked ia vain Tor single expression
Of public feeling, in favor or even in extenuation
of Mr.. Bair's conduct, in reference to Mr..
Green. From number of notices on the sub.
iect, which have appeared in the paper-, we Sc
lect the following from the New York CONNER
cial-whioh is expressed in the pecs lar and hap
ny style which distinguishes the cultural para
graphs of that excellent paper:--
In compliance with the rule We have adopted
to give hearing to both sides, the comnunlra.
ton Of Gen. Blair, explanatory OF his encounter
with General Green, finds It's way this evening
into the columns Of the Commercial Advertiser.
But, besides being clumsily written, we are con.
strained to say that it presents not solitary Tea
ture Of justification TO redeem the conduct OF the
writer from unqualified reprohatinn!g He says,
in substance that he is not tory--that he " ne.
yer heard that Blair or a Douglass (good old
Scotch families, no doubt,) were tories, "-and
4 that " Gen. Green could not have applied TO him
any other ep,het that would have been So pro.
| voking" He dues not pretend. however. that
Gen Green, in applying the ep,thet OF tory tn the
Union party, made any personal aiiusion to nam,
but he was provok ed. and found himself =. un-
EQUAL 10 the efiort'' Of restraining his own anger
We marvel at this: A man so strong aud gigan-
tic as he Is represented to be- ought TO have knock
ed himself down, If he could find no milder means
of subduing his wrath. Seriously, however. there
is not culprit arraigned at the Old Bailey
| for manslaughter, that may not urge the like de-
| fence. A more lame and impotent attempt at
palliat,on Of a shameful outrage, was, perhaps,
never heard; and, sn far from extenuatng, it is
an additional outrage upon the moral sense Of the
community. %. II the paragraph complained of was
an insult upon General BLAIR. 1t was equally an
insult upon every Union man in the U. States,
and, consequently, each has an equal right to in
| flict similar revenge.
The disproportion also between the pretended
offence, and the punishment, Is equally indetens-
bic. He says he IS struck only with the light
end of the stick" but does not give ts timen.
sons. The small end Of large stick NAV be
greater than the large end Of little one. Green
| calls it a large cub-others speak OF it az a
blpdgeon-and all agree that the arm that WELD
ed it was that of giant. We had supposed that
the race Of AJAX had been eyterminated by the
sans Of Zernlah, but it seems that this modern
