HOME IN THE SKIES.

HOME IN THE SKIES.
When up to nightly skies we gaze,
Where stars pursue their endless ways,
We think we see from earth's low clod
The wide and shining home of God.
But could we rise to moon or sun,
Or path where planets duly run,
Still heaven wonld spread above us far,
And earth remote would seem star.
It's vain 10 dream those tracts Of space,
With all their worlds approach his face:
One glory fills each wheeling ball
One love has shaped and moved them all
This earth, with all its dust and tears,
Is his no less than yonder spheres;
And rain-drops weak, and grains of sand,
Are stamped by his immediate hand.
The rock, The wave, the little flower,
All fed by streams of living power
That spring from one Almighty will.
Whate 'er his thoughts conceive fulfil.
And is this all that man can claim
Is this our longing's final aim
To be like things round-no more
Than pebbles cast on Times grey shore'
Can man, no more than beast, aspire
To know his beings awful Sire ?
And, born and lost on Nature breast,
No blessing seek but there to rest'
Not this our doom, thou God benign.
Whose rays on us unclouded shine:
Thy breath susta,ns yon fiery dome,
But man is most thy favored home.
We view those halls painted air,
And own thy presence makes them fair;
But dearer still to thee, o Lord
Is he whose thoughts to thine accord.

FASTING.

Distinct from religious ordinances and
ancnorite zeal, fasting has been frequently
recommended and practiced as means OF
removing incipient disease ,and of restoring
the body to its customary healthy sensa-

of practice which the instinct OF the brute
creation leads them to adopt, whenever they
are sick. Happily for them they have no
