blended in his counienance, coolly an

This dignifed reply struck me forci-

more closely. The former ! perceived,
by his dress, was of the mis-named high
er class in society. The latter was n
sprightly, active lad, scarce twelve years
old, and coarscly but cleverly a,tired -
But young as he was, there was visible
in his countenance much of genius, man
ly dignity, and determinate resolution,
while that of the former showed only fos-
tered pride and the imagined superiority
ofriches.
That little fellow, thought we, gazing
at our young hero, display already much
Of the man--ihough his calling be indus
trious: and though poverty extend to him
her dreary, chee'less rcality-siill he
looks on the brightest side Of the scene

God OF the rolling year thy power
Expands the germ--uniolds the flower,
Natures, at last, the golden grain;
And then restores the Ton reign
OF dreary winter, drearier still
10 those whom age and penury chill.
Thy power Of frost has locked the ground,
And streams in icy chains are bound;
Spare thou the heart Of man below,
And bid the fount Of pity flow;
Speed, Lord, thy backward stewards on,
Till meroy's holy work be done.
The board with costly viands spread,
The blazing hearth, the downy bed
God. Thou art just-what mortal dare
Call these his own, for thine they are!
Speed, Lord, thy backward stewards on,
Till mercy's holy work be done.
The hand that won that orphans bread,
Is laid 10 sumber with the dead.
The barefoot boy. mid winter skies,
From door to door his labor plies;
Speed, Lord, thy backward stewards on,
Till mercy's holy work be done.
Loud howls the storm, It's cold and late,
The shivering outcast tries the gate;
The backward steward Of the poor
Turns down his light and bars the door.
Speed, Lord, thy backward stewards on,
Till mercy's holy work be done.

into discledit, and laws authorising an
Imprisonment for a term Of time were
substituted.
by this change, the debtor is released
from liability to an odious bond service,
but he is prisoner instead Of a slave,
and in some respects in worse condi-
ton than before. AS bondman, he
was put to laborious service. AS pris-
oner, he is often immured with felons.-
AS bondman he discharged his debt
as II prisoner his time is wasted, and his
morals exposed to the influence Of depra-
witty.
The right TO deprive free citizen of
his liberty by imprisonment, when he has
been guilty Of no offence and ofno wrong
may well be questioned; but however
this may be, the power it appears to me,
is liable to abuses which render il mex
pedicnt to conGde it to any one.
