THE VAN DIEMEN EXILES.

A meeting was held in the Park last
Thursday night, TO take into considera-
ton the wretched situation Of those Amer
leans who had been bapished to that penal
Colony, Tor having dared to do for the
oppressed Canadians, what Lafayette done
for the Americans in 1776. The meeting
was well attended and much interest was
awakened. The soi-disant Gen. Suther-
land. addressed the meeting with warmth
and energy. He was followed by num-
Der OF Speakers, who spoke of the cruel
sufierings Of these devoted men, and urged
the necessity Of making every possible
effort IL effect their delverance. We
most earnestly hope, that the friends of
humanity and freedom, throughout the
Union will exert Themselves to the utmost
in behalf OF these Unfortunate men, DOOM
ed to distant and cruel bondage.

Book OF VALENTINE
Chapter End

Now il came to pass, that wher
Valentine saw that our parchment was
gone, he was exceeding " reJoiced, and he
called together his household and comman-
ded them TO make merry for he had tn
umphed over the Scribes.
But when they began to make merry.
Valentine remembered the victory of the
LAWYER, and he was sad /, and he went and
shut himself up in his secret chamber 10
weep.
And while he was yet weeping, behold
his spouse came unto him, and when she
saw that he wept, she fell on his neck and
kissed him, and said unto him, Valentine,
why weepest thou
4 Then Valentine answered and said
unto her, art thou not the wife Of my
youth, and shall Withhold from thee the
cause Of my sorrow
5 She said unto him, Valentine, thou
hast spoken well.
6 And Valentine told unto his spouse the
doings OF bis enemies, and how they had
prevailed against him.
Now il came to pass that as Valentine
told his troubles, his spirits we've sorey OPP
pressed, and he lifted up his voice and cried
aloud with bitter LAMENTATIONS ?
8 | am man of affection, have been
chastened by the rod Of disappointment,
have sought Tor Office, but my friends
have deceived me.
9 They have seen my zeal in the cause
OF the Pharisees-night and day have |
toiled for the good of the trhe-I have
sung Harrison songs and drank Hard Ci-
der-yet have my brethren become mine
enemies, and now they laugh al my failure
10 have wasted my strength have
wearied my PAGER in travelling to and fro
TO gain proselytes.
II They promised to reward me with Of
fee, but they have given it to another.
IL Therefore am grieved with the ~
ing of men.
IS NY strength has become weakness,
and my power has vanished from me-my
friends have lifted up their heels against me
and my dwelling is lief: unto me desoate.
Id My affections are great, but there is
none to pity-mv burden is heavy, but none
will remove it arm become derision Cor
the whole peope--they laugh at my cal
anity and rejoice at my overthrow.
IS My paths are made crooked and nv
way is hedged up my soul is filed with
bitterness, and am drunken with worm
wood and gall.
II | am become as the offscoUring and
refuse in the midst Of the people, am lal
len and there is none to lift me up.
IS Oh that might lie down and die
thai my disgrace might be forgotten.
10 Now when Valentine had ended his
Lamentations, his spouse said unto him.
he comferted hath not the High Priest
promised you hereafter glorious reward !?
90 But Valentine remembering the for
mer promise which had been broken, shook
his head sorrowfulIy, and rose up TO depart.
81 And when his spouse saw tina; he
would not be comlorted, she said unto him
tarry here yet awhile, for your counten-
ance is fallen, and your eyes are red with
weeping.
81 And Valentine listened to his spouse,
for he was ashamed to go forth TO the
people. =.
