The most interesting circumstance
which presents itself TO my mind, in re-
calling what saw of the Hebrew nation
III the cast, is the universal diffusion of
the love, the undying love of the Jews for
their own Judea, the Canaan of their IA
thers.--Who could see without emotion
thousands Of poor Israeliies, who, from
the remoteSt parts Of Europe have made
their way, by long and weary pilgrimage
through privations incalculable and sul-
ierlngs without end---ofen shoeless and
almost clothelesS--iriendless and penni-
less, that they might see the city of Da-
vld. and lay their bones in the city of Jc-
rusalem. What multitudes are there
among them who have sold their last pos
session-having gathered together their
little, their insufficient all, and have start
ed. marching towards the rising sun, from
the Fistula, the Dnieper, and the Danube,
on journey as long as perilous How
many have persisted, exhausted Oh the
way How many who have landed at
Joppa, or crossed the Taurus at Antioch,
have been unable, from over exhaustion,
to reach their longed-for goal How ma
ny have sunk in sight of the Mount Of
Olives and how many have closed their
eyes in peace and blessedness when the

Reflections on u Visit TO Starved Rock.

visit to this spot is indeed calculated
to set Imagination busily 10 work, to bring
into action all the poetry, and give full
scope to what little imaginative genius we
may possess. When | stand upon this
eminence and look down upon the sur
rounding country, can III fancy allot to
every portion of it some part in past
scenes.
In yonder secluded covert among those
tall trees. around whose tops the smoke
so gracefully curls, see the wigwam of
the Indian, and hear the wild shout of loy
and mirth from the young savages as they
sport on the green. In yonder sheltered
spot, almost surrounded by stately oaks
appearing as though they had battled
against time and tempest until they had
grown grey in the fight, yet still refuse to
bend-l see the corn gracefully bending
to the summer breeze, and among it the
Indian mother with her papoos tied to her
back, pulling the weeds that else would
steal its nutriment. And that shout in the
wood behind us-'iis the warriors in pur.
suit Of game. See the stag wounded and.
desperate, dash along yon dark ravine,
while the red hunter, crafty and deter

The Stars,

On. name not the stars in an idle Jest:
They are homes Of plenty, and joy, and ren.;
Or angel eyes with their beams OF light,
Watching our pathway in beauty bright;
Or rays from the smile of God are they
Then worship their sphndor proud child of clay
SO calm and so still do they journey on,
Like the Christian who feels that the goal is won
That hallowed peace to my heart is given,
\ whisper of endless love in heaven!
Then turn not with idle words, away
From their machless glory, fail child of clay
breath from their presence comes stealing by,
And we list for their sound of their minstrclsy;
But silence is written in letters deep
As wrapt in their beauty they calmly sleep!
OH turn to their radiance when burdened with care
1t shall win thy worn spirit their quiet to share.

We awake from our dream of the past
reality takes the place af imagination, tbs
busy hum of the artisan, the voice of the
merry plough boy, the lowing of kline and
the tinkling of the COW bells break upon
the ear, and the eye, in roaming DER the
broad and fertile plain below us, may rest
upon the habitaton of the white man. Oh,
how changed and ever changing May
not people yet unborn stand upon this
same rock and indulge in Imagination and
conjecture with regard to us, when yonder
great. work, stretching along our valley
and mingling the waters of the north and
south, shall have fallen sacrafice to time,
and its ruins shall only tell that we were
once an enlightened people.

Their life or death, or things present, OF
things to come. Yes, the real heart
changed followerof Christ is rich, because
he qsipys aFa,her's bounty. Well hath
the poet said-and in reference to the real
Christian it may be said with unqualified
truth,
He Jocks abroad into the varied field of nature
Calls the delightful scenery all his owl:
His are the mountains and the valcs his,
And the respondent rivers; his to enjoy
With propriety that none can feel,
But who, with ilial confidence inspired,
Can Int to heaven, an unpresumptuous eye,
And smiling say-my Father made them all.
| call that man rich who has in reversion
the wealth of the kingdom OF heaven.
In this view of the subject, how grossly
misappied is the term rich, as it is COM
monty understood. Thou art the poor
man who, though clothed in purple, art
yet lowering on the very brink of perdi-
ton. Thou art poor, who hast never
sought to fill thy Golfers with the immea-
surable riches of the grace of God /; who,
amitsa all the prodigalily of heavenly
mercies, art suffering dearth and famine
Of TIE word of God, the grace of Christ,
and the communication of the Spirit,
This, this is poverty. But on the other
hand, thou art rich, who art clothed in the
vesilre of Saviours righteousness and
hast a title to a throne in heaven. Seek,
then, those riches which are enduring,
and let nothing prevent you from striving
to attain them with an energy which BELTS
their value. In the comparison of this,
let nothing weigh in your estimation the
wealth, and honors, and pleasures of the
world, arc less than the veriest feather,
and no matter what may be your earthly
if you are rich in faith, and an
heir of the kingdom. You may suffer
you may be involved in tri-
bulstion you may be sunk in penury
yet the mightiest king of the mightiest
kingdom may envy your condition, if
God shall pronounce of you, Thou art
rich. No earthly eulogy can speak so
much; no monumental marble can carry
down to distant ages fame so enduring;
for the declaration, Thou art rich, is the
eulogy of the Eternal Thou art rich, the
lasting fame of elernily.-BedeH.

stay with him in the prison. Beholdinp

The wretched father endeavoured to con-
sole him, by reminding him that the una
vailing grief of his son tended only to in
crease his own misery; thai we came IN
to this world merely to prepare for bet

and could even rejoice that his troubles
were so near an end. "To-morrow, -

Colonel Hayne, as he was loaded with

and live to take care of your brother and

A BIT OF ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.

| BIT OF ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
A few years ago, (says the editor of the
ilerald,) when but Il single steamboat
made its semi-mon,hIy trip upon Lake
Erie, from Buffalo to Detroit, touching
at Erie, Cleveland, Sandusky, &c., and
when It's arrival or departure at either
place was an incident that created no little
hustle, we were standing among the crowd
upon the wharf at Buffalo, watching the
passengers hurrying on board the Supc-
rior, Capt. Sherman, which was in few
minutes to take its departure for Detroit.
There was large number of passengers,
mostly consisting of emigrants to the then
latest found land of promise, Michigan.
Among the different groups upon the deck
were a couple somewhat past the meridi-
an OF life, who were in earnest CONVERSE
ton with young man, while female of
'bloomlng seventeen" their daughter,
stood listening to the discussion with a
look of deep absorption, which betrayed
the intense interest she felt in the subject.
We learned afterwards that the couple
had been long attached TO each other, but
the young man had been unable to obtain
the consent of the parents TO marry their
daughter. She was an only child and the
circumstances of her lover were not such
as answered the views they had formed.
Business mad called the young man from
home for several weeks, and on his re-
turn, TO his great surprise and chagriu he
found that Mr.. S., the father of his below
ed, had sold his farm, and with his wife
and daughter had departed for Michigan.
James tho't he saw through the motive OF
this movement, and learning that they had
been gone but few days, his resolution
was at once taken to follow, upprepared
as he was for the journey, either with
ready money or change of apparel. He
gave no sleep to his eyes nor slumber to
his cye-lids, till he was on the way. and
lessening as he hoped, the distance be-
tween himself and the object of his afiec-
ton. As the departure of the boat did
not take place till two days after the arri.
val of the parents and their daughter at
Buffalo, fortunately FOR the young man,
he arrived before they had placed the
Lake between the two lovers and when
the detected maiden stepped upon the
boat, she was more surprised and over
joycd TO behold him, than her parents
were yexed. The latter testified their
displeasure at his thus following them,
IN terms little calculated TO strengthen his

The R1Ci, Man,

What is it that makes an individual
rich in the sight of God | need hardly
say that 1t is not his wealth, he may have
countless thousands; it is not his reputa-
ton, he may have attracted the applause
OF the multitude; it is not his standing in
society, he may rank first among his fell
lows; 1t is nothing, absolutely nothing,
which attaches itself to the outer man.
from the habitation of his holiness God
hath written the decree, ''look not at this
mans countenance, nor at the height of
his stature, for God hath rejected him ;
Tor man looketh upon the outward appear
ance, but God judgelh of the heart" The
individual who is rich in the sight of God,
must bear about him the elements of spi-
ritual character. 1t is possible-nay it is
the ordinary experience of man--it is
possible to be poor, miseraoly poor, in
the midst of the greatest wealth which this
world can accumulate upon its votary ;
1t rs possible, nay it is experience, 10 be
rich in the midst of worldly poverty, for
spiritual riches is matter of the mind :
