wbv should we weep when those we love
Are seyer'd from this world OF sorrow!
WHY would we stay them here TO prove
The sadness Of the coming morroWf
Soft be thy gentle slumbers then,
Thou fair, thou lost one,-dear Jane Ann
Thy music voice has ceased to cheer
The sorrows Of each lonely breast;
Yet still is shed affections tear,
Above thy lonely place Of rest.
IT'S sweet to weep in twilighps ray,
Beside thy grave the hours away
Vet oh the eve---the fearful eye,
Looks upward from beyond the tomb,
And sees glorious form on high,
Array'din fair and fadeless bloom,
rife,s closing Sigh is now forever past,
And shed the latest tear! the last-the last
Then weep not mourner, tho the blow,
Thy dearest earthly hopes have persisted
Tho whitening death has laid full low,
All that thy heart so fondly CHERISHED,
Yet God shall wipe all tears away,
When you shall meet in realms OF day.
Jesus will smooth thy toilsome road;
IT'S he will calm tiny troubled breast,
He'll ease thy spirit of its load,
And hush thy grief worn heart to rest.
'Twas he who calpd thy friend above,
To share the Savior's boundless love.

From the Massachusetts Abolitionist.
THE HAHN.

THE CHAIN.
Is it his daily toll that wrings, sigh ?
From the Slaves bosom, that deep
Is il his niggard fare that brings
That tear into his down-cast eye
o, no:-by toll and humble fare Tgain.
Earth's sons their stIength-their glory
II is because the slave must wear
His CHAIN.
Is it the sweat, from every pore
That starts, and glistens in the sun,
As-the young cotton bending DER p.
His naked back it tails upon2
Is it those drops that from his breast,
Into the thirsty burrows fall,
That scald his soui-deny him rest,
And turn his cup of life to gall2
No: for, that man with sweating brow
Shall eat his bread doth God ordain.
That the slaves spirit doth not bow -
II is his CHAIN.
Is it that scorching sands and skies
Upon his velvet skin have set
A hue, admired in Beauty's eyes,
Or Genoa's silks, or polished jet2
Mo- for this color was his pride,
When roaming DER his native plain:-
That hue, even here, can he abide,
But not his CHAIN.
Nor is it that his back and limbs
Are scored with many CORY cash,
That his heart bleeds, and his brain swims,
And the MAN dies beneath the lash.
For Baal's priests, on Carmel's slope,
Themselves with knives and lancets
scored, 81
Till the blood spirted-in the hope
That He would hear whom they ador'd.
And Christian Flagellants their backs,
All naked, to the scourse have given;
And Martyrs to their stakes and racks
Have gone, OF choice, in hope Of Heav-
en-.
For here there was an inward WILL!
Here spake the SPIRIT, upward tending
And, on the cloud-girt bosom, still,
Hope threw her rainbow, heavenward
bending.
But Will and Hope hath not the slave,
His bleeding spirit to sustain.:-
No;-he must drag on, to the grave,
HIS CHAIN.

SENATOR MoRRIs.-Those who have
read his able, and interesting speech in
Congress- cannot but regret, that he was
not reelected by the Legislature, to seat
in the Senate No doubt, he was sacrfc-
ed, on account of his love to the principles
of justice, and the .rsghts of man. But
he retires TO his home, with the respect
and love Of thousands of the citizens Of
this nation-of those, too, who may moi
agree with him in his political principles !;
for he has been faithful in rebukng those
who trample down the poor and needy.
His reply to the speech of Mr.. Clay,
(Which indeed needed no reply, withthose
who had learned the first rudimenls-the
mere ABB C of abolition,) is triumph
ant refutation of his fimsy sophistry. He
must have felt rebuked, by the power OF
truth, if he had any OF the feelings of a
man left unperverted.
The loss of such a man as Mr.. Morris,
is public calamity, in these times of cor
ruption, and degeneracy. Men ofprinci
pie, such as is breathed out in his speech,
are greatly needed, in the Legislative haks.
Nothing less than this can save US from
ruin.-O6erlan Evangelist.

will be that Lord Palmerston has the assurance TO
