POETRY.

The world is full of poetry-the air
Is living with its spirit; and the waves
Dance to the music of its melodies,
And sparkle in its brightness. Earth is voil'd,
And melted with its beauty; and the wall
That close the universe with crystal in,
Are eloquent with voices that proclaim
Tho unseen glOries of immensely,
In harmonies too perfect and too high
For aught but being of celestial mould;
And speak to man in one eternal hymn,
,unfading beauty, and unyielding power.

TRUTH AND ERROR.

by r. II. WILD.
There's tunefil river
In Erin's isle,
Where the sun-beams culver
In silyery smile;
Where the leaves that fall
Meath the autumn sky,
Grow gem-like ALL
And never do;-
And such is the stream, by truth enlightened,
That leaves the breast by Wisdom frightened,
Where even the joys that storms discover,
Are turned to gems that glow forever.
There's II darkling tide
In the Indian cline,
BY whose herbless side
There's a sulphury slime
To the flower that it touches,
A scOrching wave
To the bird that approaches,
A woltering grave.
And such are the waters of btterness, rising,
In the desert bosom, of dark Disgusting;
And the birds ofjoy aud the flowers of feeling,
Must perish where'er that wave is stealing.

Position of the Wing Party.

Every politician of a dozen years standing
can affirm the truth of the following remarks
from the Claremont Eagle =" After presiden-
tial contest like the last the victorious party al
ways settles down into a calm, while the defeat
ed is sure to rally. 1t was so with the Jackson
and Anti-Jackson parties in 1883 The
wings after the presidential elections in those
years, carried the local elections almost every
where, and began to count in advance upon an
easy victory four years ahead. How they were
disappointed need not be told A similar apathy
among the victorious wings has followed the
last great contest, and, certainly, we do not re-
gard it Of itselfas an unfavorable augury for the
future triumphs of the wing party. What effect
that apathy into distrust and inaction, is another
matter, of which we shall have something to say
hereafter"

PRAYER.

All that can be said on this subject, the Apos-
tie has included in this one supplicatory word,
which illustrates the nature of prayer ;-dear Fa-
ther We will now, therefore, definitely ascer-
tain the scriptural idea of prayer. Prayer is
the pulsation of the soul. 1t may not be always
expressed in words for the Apostle exhorts
Christians to pray without intermission. Bat if
the prayer must necessarily be uttered in audible
language, how could Paul, yea, how could Christ
himself, have prayed without intermission No,
my friends. There is prayer which the faith
FIJI offer, and which like the pulse in the veins,
never ceases its motion, not by night, notify day,
and which can be heard by no human In
this inward, silent supplication, are the faithful
continually excaiming, Abba, dear Father =
How is it with you when some beloved friend is
called away from you by DEATH Through all
the hours that succeed his departure, doyou not
constantly bear him about with you in your
hearts Yea, are you not wont to conduct 81
lenr, uninterrupted dialogue with him, which is
not audible to the ear of a companion So it is
with the ceaseless prayer, going forth from the
man who has received into his own heart the tes-

forget what new and unmerited grace has been
bestowed on him; he cries out continually =
See, what love the Father hath shown US, that
we should be styled the children of God and
in the lnmost sanctuary of his soul the words are
repeated necessarily, Beloved Parent precious
Father!
But, as the conversation which a man silently
carries on with himself, is converted into audible
language, as soon he is seized with quicken
ing feeling of pain or Of Joy, so likewise, is the
converse which man silently conducts with his
heavenly Parent When his soul is actively ex-
cited he feels compelled to employ words. And
SO We read of the Saviour, in the moment of his
deepest pa in, he cried out Abba, dear Father =
and all that the heart of Il child Of God has to
say, when it approaches the throne oFgrace, yea,
all is comprehended by the Apostle in this one
word dear Father dear Father! SO cries the
little child, when conscious of its own guilt and

parents love, and sinks down Oh its knees, weep
ing, dear Father So cries the child, when fall
of trouble it folds up its hands, and would fly in
to its parents bosom, and to his heart. Dear Fa-
Their. So cries the same child, when it has full
tide of Joys, and cannot bear to keep those joys
for itself alone and must share all the treasures
Gifts heart with the parent whom it loves.

THE ADVANTAGES OF AFFELCTIONs.

Truly, it is pity to be at the trouble of suffer
ing Affections, and not get good by them We
get good by them, when they awaken us TO do
good; and may say, never Till then. When
God is distributing sorrows to you, the sorrows
still come upon some errands; therefore the best
way to find that they come not in anger, is to con-
slider what the errands may be. While the sense
Of affection is yet upon you, it is well seriously
to inquire, To what improvement IN holiness
and usefulness does this afiliction call me ? Be
more soctous to gain this point than to escape
from your affection. o the peace, that will COM
pose, possess, and ravish your mind, when your
Affections shall be found yielding these fruits of
righteousness Luther did we'll to call afflic-
tons the theology of Christians.
As we are travelling through a malicious, a
calumnious, and abusive world, we may be I'M
Justly DETAINED; it will be strange if we are not
frequently So defamation is commonly re-
scented as provocation. My friend, make it
only provocation to good works. Upon any re-
proach being offered, instead of being transport
ed into a rage, as David was tempted to be
against Shimei, retire and patiently inquire, Has
not God bidden such reproach, 10 AWAKEN me
to some duty? To what special service of piety
should be awakened by the reproach that cast
upon me?' Thus all the abuses you meet with
may prove to you, in the hand of faithful God,
no other than the strokes which statuary en-
ploys on his ll-shaped marble, only to form you
into more beautiful shape, and make you filter
to adorn the heavenly temple. Thus you are
informed of a way to shake off viper most ad-
vantageously Cotton JNather
