. THE JUDGMENT"


Thoughts elected on hearing Sermon by Rev.
9. H. Cone, on the latter clause Of Hebrew, 9,
s7.-BY r. Horn.
Man, know thy destiny stand now and see
The everlasting balance poised on high,
Waiting the final lapse Of these last years
To weigh thee az thou art!--Go to, thou dust!-
BetLink thee wisely, ere the fiat fall!
Aud to thy nothingness the scale be laid!
The dreadful Judgment comes!-I see II night
Like the last rush OF some spent cataract,
The dwindIing days accelerate their speed,
Town tumbling swift into eternity,
Bodng tempest that shall quake the world!
The End!-the end!--eye Of the scorner,
GOMEZ
Come Ear that hath contemed tn Eternal word.
Come Heart that hath been stout against all
truth,
See, hear, and feel how terrible thy doom!
But who may grasp the mighty things Of Goda
What thought shall grappe the stuPendous
theme,
Whatllsnguage atter-when cen Angels tail!
Would that l now might soar and quaf the
STedWs
That an immortal energy imparts,
Aud gives conception Of eternal things
Nv u1impeded pen should burn along.
And spread page to mans reluctant eye
Of fearful import, that should smi,e bis heart,
And teach the wisdom now he scorns to know.
Far on the confines Of remotest space
A horrid blackness chambers up the sky,
'Whelmins the planets in obvions night.
The sun, obstructed, stops his long career,
Rocks IRON his circle, and heaves down amaln,
Hurting through scattered orbs his direial ~ay.
The awful hour nears on "a brief breath -
or dismal quietude and deep'nlng gloom,
And this huge globe shall roar tor agony
Struck 10 it's centre with mighty pauS,-
The reconception Of buried world!
The chastity nations shall obey the throe,-
From laboring caverns forth in myrads come,
And from the chambers Of the believing sea,
From long forgotten decentralization where
Strong pyramids shut up the ancient great
From pop'!ous grave. yards, the fierce winds shall
scoop +,
Unuumbered thousands Where repose the dead
In all the corners Of the spacious lands,
Shall sudden life burst up!-
Now buoming sullenly and indlstnct,
Deep thunders tell of the august approach
Forerunuing lightnings hiss along the air.
Incendiary comets to and tro
Fly furious. eager for the dread command
To food the Universe in quenchless iamc!
Cease here my taousht!-for who might venture
on,
Who stand to gaze upon the Judgment-come,
Where may the shuddering spirit stay il. frm
To record out the cene.-liaste!-haste my
soul,
Secure thy name upon the Book Of Life!
Haste, empires to be wise,-be warned the
world!
The moment is at hand; and soon shall sit
The frownrng Arbiter, while earth and heaven
Wrecked in his ire, shall fail, aud have no place

Manner Of naming Countries.-The
origin Of the word Canada is curious
enough. The Spaniards visited that
country previous to the French, and
made particular searches for gold and
silver. and, finding none, they often
said among themselves "aca NADIA"
(there is nothing here.) The Indians
who watched them closely, learned
this sentence and its meaning. After
the departure Of the Spaniards the
French arrived, and the Indians, who
wanted none of their company, and
supposed they also were Spaniards
come on the same errand, were anxious
to inform them that their labor was
lost by tarrying in that country, and
necessarily repeated to them the Spa.
nish sentence "aca NADIA" The French
who knew as little Of Spanish as the
Indians, supposed this necessarily re,
curing sound was the name of the
country, and gave it the name of Ca.
NADIA, which it has borne ever since.

The Richmond Enquirer saws:

We confess that we should have de.
sired this measure of Withdrawing the
deposites to have been for some time
suspended. We should have preferred
them to remain inthe Bank, and things
to have remained Statu quo. We
doubted the policy of the measure in
relation to the Bank, as well as to the
public. We also entertain doubts a.
bout the power of the President to
control the administration of the Trea-
sury Department in this behalf. We
have not examined the question in all
aspects, and will not, therefore, under
take, at this time, to pronounce po-
sitive pinion.

In the British House of Commons, in
August, a grant was made of EGO, 900
for building school houses. A London

created in aid of the parishes that re-
quire some assistance to make a be-
ginning.

We have never known the public
press to take up any subject with more
spirit than the recent Manifesto of the
President. In Virginia, politics do not
prevent the fearless expression of o.
plnion. The Petersburg Intelligencer,
highly respectable paper, friendly to
general Jackson, "is far from being sa.
tisfied with the propriety or expediency
of the measure" Of removing the de-
posites.-Aicrandria Gazette.
Eventhe acknowledgement ''doubts'
the propriety of the measure; and all
will admit that it must be bad indeed,
if that print hesitates to approve.

Ne1o Inventions. The writer of the
charges read by Pre- sident Jackson a.
gainst the United States Bank, deserves
Immortality for the invention of new
manacles for The PRESS. He makes
the President charge ali the publishers
who have been so unfortunate as to
have to take a discount at the Bank,
and pay interest, as bribed--it follows
they must be prohibited working ''for
fame and living upon trust" He like
wise pronounces the Bank corrupt, for
paying them the honest wages of their
labor, and if these doctrines will APP
ply to the Bank, they are equally APP
plicable to individuals-so that they
must hereafter work for fame alone
and live upon the wind, or submit to
his shackles and stop their presses
The name of this blacksmith ought to
be exposed, and he not permitted to
laugh behind the screen, at making our
"godlike President eats paw to car.

local Banks which have been selected

The Globe has a short method of
getting rid Of an opponent, however
ugly he may be-he has only to say
ooh, he is bribed by the Bank" Like
FalstafI, when the hostess complained
of his tricks and villainy to the chief
justice, defended himself by saying
"This is a poor old woman who goes
about town and says her eldest son
looks like your lordship. "-Er. Star.
| ,Speculaii0n.--lt is stated in the
Charleston Mercury, on "good autho-
rity, that previous to the announce
ment of the determination to remove
the deposites, orders were received in
that city from New York, to buy up
all the United States Bank Stock then
in the market, as soon as il fell us low
as from 105 to 107. Whether these
orders came from the New York AL.
lies ofthe Kitchen Cabinet, or not, the
deponent saith not.
1t appears from the following item in
the Albany Argus, that Kendall has
overstepped the mark. We wonder
how the small fry that seized the bait
as soon as the Globe threw it out, will
relish the dcsertion Of the Argus and
Enquirer:
"We also admit that if the Pre-
sident has removed these depostes, he
has usurped a power which neither the
Constitution nor law vest in him. We
go farther. If the Secretary of the
Treasury has moi directed the removal
of the depositcs, they are not removed
nor would the officers of the Gov
eminent be authorized in making de-
positcs elsewhere. "
Perhaps, after all, this means moth
ing. MIR. fancy, the new Secretary,
has ordered the removal, and the Ar
gus may still defend the measure, with
out involving itself in a direct contra.
diction.-Richmond JcftrSonian.
There is something very ludicrous
in the latter part of the Presidents Ma
nlfcsto. He again and again ayows
his wish to permit each of his Privy
Counsellors to entertain his own opin-
ion, respecting the propriety of the
| measure under consideration. Nothing
can be more generous than the spirit
of liberation which breathes through
out his remarks. He is aware of the
different views which different minds
take Of the same subject. He thinks
none the less of any one for differing
with him in opinion. He does not de-
sire to dictate; not he. Mr.. Duane is
impracticably honest, and won't be
convinced-and is turned out of office.
What a comment upon professions of
tolerance of difference of opinion a.
mong his ministers. We are reminded
of the witty lines in Moore's "Fudge
Family in Paris:
Good knows | love, cen to excess
