UJIt is lot the general contemplation, but the
peculiar possession O.: Christ, that gives bath solid
comfort, and strong persuasion to obedience and
holiness. BY the eye Of faith to the only be-
gotten Son of God, as "sIricken and smtten OF
God, bearing sorrows," and 'wounded for our
transgressions; Jesus Christ ''the righteous, reck
oned among the unrighteous and malefactors; to
HIM stripped naked, and scourged, and buffeted,
and nailed, and dying; and all for us;-this is the
thing that will bind upon us most strongly all the
duties of Christianity, and of our particular call
ings, and best enable us, according to calngs,
to bind them upon others. But slender view
of these things occasions right sense of them, and
that cold Indictments to answerabe duty. Certain
ly, deep impressions would cause lively express
sions. Would we willingly stir up our own hearts
and one another to holy diligence in station,
study more thoroughly Christ as suffering and dy-
ing; that is the very life of the gospel and Of our
souls it is all we have to learn, and all have
to teach and press on you. "I determined to know
nothing among you, Jesus Christ, and him
cruciied," to make Christs cross the sum of all nv
learning

SPRIN G.
The voice of the spirit
OF beauty and bloom,
Hath hidden earlh's verdure
Awake from its tomb;
The snow shrouding mantle
Hath vanished away.
And plant, shrub and flower,
Come forth to the day.
All nature rejoices
From valley and hill
The gush of the fountain,
The flow of the rilI,
The music of waters,
Unshack|ed and free,
Blend with the echoing notes,
And hum Of the bee.
Field, forrest and meadow,
The mountain and plain,
With new life are ieemlng,
And aid the glad strain,
TO welcome the spirit
OF beauty and bloom,
Who hath burst carth's letters,
And scattered tho gloom.
Awake we in gIadness,
Ye children of earth!
For It's God who hath given
This glorious wv birth;
Shout for joy! for he speaks,
And bids you confide,
In that power and mercy
That ere will abide.

BIRTHDAY

BY II. HASTINGS WELD.
Little prattler, whittier bent
In thy thoughtless merriment?
Every object pleasure giving
In the luxury Of living
Bubbles bursting in thy reach
Self. distrust nor caution teach
Bent the phanloms to pursue,
Still thou turn'st to objects new
Older children how unlike!
Disappointments wound thee not;
Past in present is forgot
While thine elders lacking yet
Infant wisdom, WILL forget
Pleasure is recalling pain.
Springing from a source innate,
Blsses pure upon thee wait
Pure and holy as the ny mn
OF seraph and Of cherubim
Thou art Joy incaInate, child.
Years give wisdom, infant dear;
Connection hast achieved a year;
Look from out thy sparkling eyes
Silly sad and worldly wise:
Mary, be n woman once.
Sit upon thy mothers knee,
t4JL;lc c.o,,, d;,, fuI,,rity
All mothers sad delight
All a womnn's second sight
Visions bright and gloomy call.
List thee to the hopes and fears,
Joys and grefs Of coming years
Fading pIeasures-hopes deferred
Child-thom dost not hear n word
Happy -careless Of thy fate
What! art struggling to be gone?
Take thy way, then, pretty one;
Since the future cannot be
Changed for good or i'll by thee,
Not TO heed it thou art wise.
If could thy future lot
Spread before thee, l would not;
No such shadow would ! cast

Let it Spring time be indeed.

This will doubtless be very popular song al
though the sense in some IArts is somewhat diff
cult to discover, and the rythm none of the best
Such rhymes as" up" and cup" 90 ay and play
may do pretty well, but " petticoats and rogues
r" men and " Washington" " host, and Z. box do
jar little on ears polite attuned to harmony and
would scarcely pass muster at a militia training.
We also doubt much the correctness Of calling the
government officials drones," because some of
them at least are the most industrious rogues ever
seen IN any country. The dis placing Of " Tecum-
sehs half breeds" seems also some at out of place
inasmuch as we have yet to learn that they are in
place; We always thought that they held no Office
and remained solitary and alone at the Great Cros-
sings. We are also inclined to doubt the truth Of
that line which asserts that the followers Of Tippe-
canoe will keep spoilmens hands out Of the treasu-
ry hereafter We little inclined 10 trust corrupt
politicians Of either class and belle that
