picturesque majesty. You see the plains and for

The following picture of Niagara is from the
pen OF an eloquent divine, with whose high repu-

who have seen the falls, it will recommend itself

commend the writer's Introductory notes to the ed
itor:
my DEAR SIR In complying with your re-
quest to furnish you with the following letter, for
publication in the Knckerbocker Magazine, |
must claim the protection of one of the most in
dulgent canons of criticism; that which suggests
that every production, claiming to be mere reve-
lation of personal relations and private feeling,
should be Judged of mainly in view of the minds
peculiar state in giving it birth. The annexed
sketch, except the last paragraph, was written upon
an angle of Table Rock at the instance, and Tor
the exclusive qualification of friend, and without
any, the most remote reference to publication, then
or subsequently. 1t was produced under the in
fuence of high wrought feelings, and does little
more than reveal the hearts mythology, in pres
ence of one of the most fearful manifestations of the
power and grandeur of physical nature. If the
feeling which gave birth to the fragment you
have asked be responded to by the reader, have
nothing to regret, and nothing farther to hope for.
Very truly and sincerely,
........... Oh B. BASCOMB.

hymn more, ~ nay Tyre!
Praise to the God above,
Ofjoy, and life, and love,
Sweeping its strings Of fire.
Obi who the speed of bird and wind,
And sunbeam's glance, will lend to me,
That soaring upward, may find
My resting-place and home in thee!
Thou, whom my soul, midst doubt and gloom,
Adoreth with fervent flame
Mysterious spirit! unto whom
Pertains sign nor name
Swiftly my Tyres soft murmurs go,
Up from the cold and joyless earth,
Back to the God who made them fow'
Whose moving spirit sent them i0r'n'
But as for me, o God! for me-
The lowly creature of thy WILL
Lingering and sad, sing to thee
An earth bound pilgrim still!
Oh! watchers the stars ct night,
Who breathe their FIRE, as we the air
Suns, thunders, stars, and rays Of light,
Oh! say, is He-the Eternal-there?
Bend there around his awful throne
The seraph's glance, the angels knee'
Or are thy Utmost depths his own,
Ovid and mighty sea!
Thoughts of my soul, how swift ye go!
Swift as the eagles glance of fire,
Or arrows from the archer's bow,
To the fair aim of your desire!
Thought after thought, we thronging rise,
Like spring -doves from the startled wood,
Bearing, like them, your sacrifice
OF music unto God.
And shall these thoughts of Joy and love
Come back again no more to me
Returning, like the patrarch's dove.
Wing-weary from the eternal sea,
To bear within my longing arms
The promise bough of kindlier skies,
Pluck'd from the green, immortal palms
Which shadow Paradise
Al-moving Spirit! freely forth,
AT thy command, the strong wind goes;
Its errand to the passive earth
Until it folds its weary wing
Once more within the hand divine;
So, weary, from its wandering,
My spirit turns to thine!
Child of the sea, the mountain stream,
From its dark caverns, hurries on,
Ceaseless by night and mornings beam,
BY evenings star, and noontide's sun.
Until at last it sinks to rest,
O'erwearied in the wasting sea,
And means upon its mothers breast
So turns my soul to Theel
Thou who bid st the torrent flow,
Who lendest wings unto the wind
Mover of all things! where art Thou!
Oh! whittier shall go to find
The secret of thy resting-place?
Is there no holy wing for me,
That soaring, may search the space
Ofhighest heaven for Thee!
Oh! would l were free to rise
As leaves on autumn's whirlwind borne
The arrowy light of sunset skies,
Or sound, or lay, or star of morn,
Which melts in heaven at twilight's close,
Or aught which scars unchecked and free
Through earth and heaven, that I might lose
Myself in finding Thee!
