EVENING DEVOTION.

EN ENlNCf DhN - ION.
How sweet are the hours at the close Of
day,
When the sky is clad in the blue of May,
And the suns last beam on the mountains
's height,
Sits lingering tolook on the shades Of night:
when the busy hum Of the world is still,
And the bleating hocks on the 6ewy hill, =
And the lowing herds in the vale below.
BY the side Of the pure streams murmurlng
Row,
And the birds in the bowers-whlle the soft
wind blows,
Are asleep on the bosom Of sweet FePose'
When the fair full moon, with smile OF love-
Looks down on the earth from her sphere
- above,
And the Stars burn bright as they smoothly
glide
In their shining barks on the azure tide;
And seem, as we gaze through the twilight
dim,
Like host ofthe gIittering seraphim.
When God like Nature has put away
Her GLORIOUS veil Of the solar ray;
And stands revealed to our wondering eyes
And we look on her awful mysteries!
Yes, those are sweet hOurs-mos' lovely t'
me;
My heart beats so lightly-my thoughts arr
so free;
NV soul bursts forth from her earthly dome
Aud catches glance Of her last bright home
lloye-O loVesthen to walk abroad
To wonder and gaze on the works Of God;
And join in the hymn of delightful praise,
All nature expresses in silent lays!
How sweet is the breath Of the evening all
How soft are the dews that are falling there
How ct for derotion the closing day;
How delightful at evening in secret to pray

NEW-EEGLAND ANTl-SLAvERY
CONVENTION.

1t is again our delightful privilege to
congratulate the cause OF doNn-trodden
humanity upon another mighty gathering
Of its boldest and frmest friends in this
city, during the past week. OI all the
Antl-Slavery Conventions which have
been held in Boston, this has been the
most protracted the most numerous, the
most interesting, and probably the most
important-thus demonstrating the steady
and rapid growth of abolitionism through
out New-EngIand, its uncompromising
character, and its lofty intensity of spirit,
in despite of all hidden Vaccinations, all
mobocratic assaults, all Legislative denun-
Citations, and all ecclesiastical censures.
The CALL. The call to the Conven-
ton was very hastily sent out, at a late
hour, to a few towns in each of the New
Eng land States; vet the number of sig
natures appended to it exceeded THREE
THOUSAND 1t is doubted, whether a
Convention, for any other purpose, has
ever been invited to assemble by such an
array of numbers, of moral worth, and o
sterling patriotism. The list of names is
now widely before the public, and all
may know by examining it, something O
the character Of those who are battling
against bloody despotism, that the liber.
ty of speech may remain untrommelled
that free press may still be the palIadi
um of our rights, and that all the Cypress
Ell in cur land may 60 free.
The DELEGATES. About five hun
dred delegates were in attendance, from
every State in New-England, constituting
a portion oIthc benevolent, moral and re
hgious elite of the land. Wherever they
are personally known they are recogniz
ed as the pioneers in every good cause
as the best friends ofpeace, ottemperance
of moral reform, and Of the gospel of Je
sus Christ. In Convention, they were
moved by one mighty pulsatlon-thel
hearts were indeed one, large and ex
haustleSs as the ocean, and overhowinG
with sympathy and love.
THE PROCEEDINGS. Of the proceed
ings of the Convention, we can give th
week only naked statement but a fll
report will be published both in the Lib
orator and in pamphlet form, without de
lay Suffice it to say, they were charac
terized by distinguished ability by dee]
and increasing interest TO the close of
three days session, by the absence of dis
tut bance from without, by unanimity with
in, by fearlessness and freedom of speech
by the power oflove and sound mind, =,
the strongest abhorrence of slavery am
pre- udice, and by some Of the most touch
ing exhibitions of the human soul.
