/" He touched his harp, and nations heard, cntranecd.'
THE END OF TlME-A DREAM
by MRS. NJ. l.. GARDNER.

Upon a cloud of fcccy light,
I gazcd on all around;
The heavens at noon were wrapt in night,
Ard furious whirlwinds i'll their might
Caused solid rocks to speed their flight,
And shook creations bound.
I saw the anrighted nations stand,
And view each cloud capt tower;
Touch'l bv the AlmiEhtv's awful wand,
They crumbled meath his whitening hand,
And scenes majestic, solemn, grand,
Displayed his wond'rous power.
Than rushing waters far more loud,
A startling peal was heard!
When, issuing from a parted cloud,
Round whom cherubic lenions crowd,
AS it his glory they would shroud,
Gabriel with trump appeared!
Upon the broad Pacifc's breast
One foot in grandeur trod,
One on mount i.tna's burning crest,
Whose hcaving bosom ne'er found rest
Until this mighty angel press'd
The footstool of his God!
Then looking upward to the sky,
And round from shore 10 shore,
While lightnings alcamed beneath his eye,
He raised his powerful hand on high,
And loud and fearful was the cry,
That time should be no more!
Vast magazines of hlnzing lire
Exploded on my sight!
Earth rcclcd and groancd--a funeral pvre,
While hills and mouniaias stiaight retire
In strong convulsivc ,hroes expire,
In one broad sea of light!
The elements with awe obey
All nature stood aphast!
The sea gave up its hidden prey,
Hell Cpd its bosom to the day,
And Death, the monster, fled away,
Before the trumpots blast.
Dismaycd, the sun in terror stood,
And shuddcrcd at his pail:
saw his splcndors turn to blood,
When, trembling DER the hcaving food,
He yelled him in his cory hood,
And down | saw him fall.
The moon and stars in dire dismay,
'Reft of their borrowed light,
Forever qlcnchcd each brilliant raw,
Fled from the appalling scene away
Chaotic darkness voilrd their dav,
And wrapped their beams in night.
Then, midst a light which cast nc shade,
\ throne was seen aiur,
On which One sat who all things made;
R~esplcndcnt rainbows round him played
His head with diadems ~arrayed,
Deckcd with the morning star!
Eternal youth bcancd in his eye,
His chariot rolled beneath;
Hail stones and Goals of fire did nv,
The symbols of his majesty,
Borne onward loud and ~fe,rfully
BY his almighty breath!
At his rcbukn. heaven, Garth and sea,
AHrinhted, fed away;
The small and great, the bond and free,
Each soul, from all eternity,
Assembled at his firm decree,
Stood there, in wild dismay!
Around he cast his ewes Of fire!
And Oh what lighrnings cleaned!
"Depart!' said he, depart -retire-
We who my love could re'cr desire
Go wall forever, nor expire,
Where mercy never beamed!'
Then, with n sweet, angelic look
No language can portray,
Smiling, be closed tho sacred hook:
Der burning worlds his saints he took
While Nature from her moorings shook
Bore them to endless dav!

Which of us is ignorant of the ordinary de-
\tails which occupy the last sad lingering hours
the dying, and attend the bed Of death! The
~Sptar moment at l,nyh arrives, and then one
N>last look, and the eye is fixed in darkness one
last sigh, Of which it were vain to attempt to
>&S;mpeje the passage, and all is over. Then
$ccmts that icy GOODNESS, gradually Selling upon
&le limbs that silent, stiff and motionlcss in
>&sensibility, which bears not, whatever may be
>Raid, the most faint resemblance to the sleep of
. life then the coffin and the shroud, the OPEN
ed grave, and the earth again filled in as if there
were nought below all agitating occurrences
which cannot fail to impress, to awe. to tcrrify,
even the most thoughtless, and make him shud-
der at the idea which arises to the mind. that
S"therc | shall one day lie !" Yet are all these
but deceitful appearances. They are but the
outward signs and visible consequences O
. death, which is, in its real and actual import, quit,
~ another thing. Death is but a simple and tran
quill change of eXistence-a separation whic
must take place and though sad and heavy b
tho fall of dust to dust, light and joyful is tn
flight of the spirit TO God who gave it. The las
" Gnome..of this transitory life ushers in the frs
Mi the life eternal.-CoQUET.

THE DECLINE OF LIFE.

u There is an cventide in human lfe-a season
when the eye becomes dim, and when the win
N ter of age begins TO shed upon the human head
.kNANs prophetic SHOWS. 1t is the season of life to
10 X&Which the autumn is most analogous, and which
WENX becomes, and much would it profit you, my
M\SN\Slder readers, to mark the instruction which it
MN $rings. The spring and simmer days arc gone,
IN Wand with them, not only the joys they knew, but
NJ Tnany friends who gave them. You have enter
NJ ed upon the autumn Of your being, and whatev-
xk Or may have been the profusion OF your spring,
= IND the temperament of your summer, there is yet
; MIX season Of stiffness and solitude which the
~ NS&enificence of heaven affords you, in which you
NNNhay mediate upon the past, and prepare your
NE%Aelf for the mighty change which you must soon
.WSndcrgo.
NJ y It's now you may understand the magnificent
language of heaven-it mingles its voice witt
\N that Ct revelation it summons you in the hours
>N\Nwhen the leaves Of autumn are falling, to the
.A<\evcning study which has been provided in The
IN book of nature. And while the shadowy valley
|<NSopens, which leads to the abodes Of death, i
IN .speaks of that love which conducts to those
4 @ereen pastures, ard those still waters where
\ >thcre is an eternal spring to the children of God

- Poetry.

ORIGINAL
BE it ever so lovely, there is no place like home
Wandering amid the green, sequestered
bowers
OF these bright islands, where perennial
bloom
And golden fruitagc all the air perfume
With balmiest odors, as the swift winged
hours
Fleet by, forgetiul of the envious sea
That rolls between, how oft my spirit turns
With longngs inexpressiblc to thee,
Home of my heart! How achingly it ycarns
For that blest hour when all these scenes
shall SEEM
AS round me loved ones and long-parted
press,
Their glad tears mingling with each fond
carcss,)
But like the memory fsomc pleasant dream;
When won the haven of my hopes, from
shore
Not summer climes, nor gold nor fame
shall tempt me more J.p.c.

question that MIR. Preston might see q,
TO propose was cstechised by the South

fashion:
You arc supporter OF Martin Van

Of holding silresl
NO, replied Mr.. .7kdbaRa Clay.

How then DO you support Mr. Van

OF his public life;
Mr.. Clay answered that Mr.. Van Blu.
rem was NOR sound upon these subjects
How know you that. said Mr.. Preston;
and is IL not as proper for me 10 try and
judge Mr.. Van Buren, by his past acts as
It Is IN YOU TO Try Gen. Harrison for acts
Of 20. 80 and 30 years ago;
