BUILDING THE ARK.

We can scarcely conceive 81
u more interesting scene than
the Ark, For one hundred Years
the sound Of the hammer was
heard betokening the dcstruc-
tian Of the human race
SCOTS, and blasphcmics the work
went On. The children of men
were in no doubt with regard 10
the object of'the great vessel,
for Noah preached as no built,
warning all Of the threatning
doom, and exhorting .hem to re.
pent. But none were disposed
TO believe him. Even the hun.
dred men that were with Noah
10 buildiug the ark wroght for
c-but had no faith in the Il.
tility Of the work in which they
wsre engaged. What we're the
prosecutions and reyilings with
which Noah was assailed during
those hundred years! He was
doubtless denounced by some
\ monomaniac. On the subject
Of religion he was considered
insane. How many a lord proud.
~ wandered BY the spot where
the ark was building in order to
enjoy . sneer at Ncuh's simeli.

.'RENTICE, editor OF the LOUIS
allie Journal, recently paid the
'oIlowing compliment 70 the
memory Of Robert Burns:
Britain and America assem-
1led TO pay : heartfelt tribute
to the memory Of
Robert Burns, the unrivalled
Minstrel Of Scotland, whose
fame gathers freshness from the
lapse ofyears, and like the ivy,
fourishes grsenIy over the lone
I,rostration Of the lovely and
the beautiful.
You ali know the history Of
Burns. The world knowsit BY
heart. The Scottish boy born
10 poverty and obscurity, won
hisway through tolls, priyations
and suiIerings, to one of the lof-
test places ID the history Of lit
erature. He was the child Of
misfortune, and mankind weep
over the sorrows Of that gifted
genius, and will wcer over them
forever He was untitled for
The rough trials Of a world like
this. The Tyre Of his soul sho'ld
have been famed by the airs Of
Eden, and have given out its mu-
sic in 4 heavenly cline; and
who can wonder that its cords
were Jared and almost broken
when visited by the fierce winds,
the swiitlightnings and the BIAS
ting hurricanes Of life. Like
the rain bow, his fame sprang
up amidst clouds and gloom; but
like the rain bow, il was = re-.
Election Of the sun, and Ills arch
was lost in heaven
The genius of Burns was uni
vcrsal, In whatever he attemp-
ted, success was perfect. His
talent was all powerful, whether
he aimed at the heart of the
lover, to call forth the loud Or
quit mirth Of the votary Of fes.
tivity, 10 kindle the high and
holy fervor Of devotion, TO pour
his own great enthusiasm for lib.
erty intothe sonl Of the patriot,
or to nerve the arm to send the
lava tide Of vengeance along
The veins of the warrior. lfyou
pass through Scotland, you feel
his mighty influence everywhere,
like a universal presence. He
has made that wild and roman
lie country cmphatically his
own. His step is upon her
mountains, her bracs and her
blue lochs, and her gushing
streams; his name is breather.
BY her winds, echoed by her
thunders, and chauntcd BY her
brave sons and beautiful daugh-
tors.
"Howssnany bright eyes grow
dim, how many soft cheeks grow
pale, how manylovely form fade
away int the tomb, and none
can tell the cause that blighted
their loneliness.
AS the dove will clasp its
wings 10 its side, and cover and
conceal the arrow that IS pray.
ing upon its vitals, SO il is the
nature Of woman 10 hide from
the world the pangs Of wounded
affection. The love Of a deli
cate female is always shy and
silent. Even when fortunate she
scarcely brcathes it to herself;
but when otherwise, she buries
