THE BAPTISM.-prN. r WILLIS.

THE BAPTISM.-prN WILLIS.
She stood up in the mcckness Of heart
Resting on God, and held her fair young
child
UPon her bosom, with its gentle ewes
Fooled IN sleep, as lifts soul had gone
To whisper the bap,ismal vow in Heaven.
The prayer went up devoutly. and the lips
Oh the good man glowed fcrvently with
faith
That Il would be even A. he had PRAYED.
And the sweet child he gathered 10 the fold
OF Jesus.
A the holy words went on
Her lips moved silently, and tears, fast tears.
Stole from beneath her lashcs. and upon
The forehead OF the beautiful child Law soft
With the baptissaal water.
Then thought
That to the eve Of God, that mothers tear,
Would be deeper covenant, which sin,
And the temptations Of the world, and death.
Would leave unbrokcn, and that she would
know,
To the clear light Of heaven, how very strong
The prayer which pressed them from her
heart had been
In leading its young spirit up to God.

Steamboat Canal across the isthn,us

resolution adopted at the last session of
congress, in regard TO navigable COM
munlcation across the isthmus of Pana-

private enterprise, baron de Thierry,
who is represented to be of great wealth
and enterprise and extensive credit
with the European bankers, having
determined upon the enterprise. He
has despatched post captain OF the
New Grenada navy with proposals for
cutting canal, which will unite by
their own waters Rio Chagres with
Rio .Grande, the latter having its out.
let in the Pacific, navigabie for boats
drawing ten feet. The Government
has given favorable ear 10 his project,
and The Constitutional is confident OF
bis success. The advantages of such
work are manifest and would be OF
incalcuIable value to our trade with the
Pacific. 1t is said that the Baron un-
dertakes this gigantic work not for any
individual benefit, but his principal
objec. is to shorten the route be.
