SEASONS OF PRAYER.

BY II. WARE, ia.
: To PRAYER. TO prayer for the morning breaks,
And earth in her Makers smile awakes.
Z His light is on all. below and abovo-
( The light OF gladness. and life, and love.
Oh then, on the brelth OF this early air,
Send upward the incense of grateful prayer
To prayer for the glorious sun is gone,
And the gathering darkness of night comes on.
Like curtain from Gods kind hand il flows
To shade the couch where his children repose
Then kneel, while the watching stars are bright,
And give your las; thoughts to the Guardian of
night,
To prayer for the day that God has b!es,
Comes TRANQUILITY on with its welcome rest
II speaks Of creations early bloom,
II speaks of tae Prince who burst the tomb.
Then summon the spirits exalted powers,
And devote 10 Heaven the hallowed hours.
There are smiles and tears in the mothers eyes
For her new born infant beside her lies.
Oh hour of bliss when the heart o'erfows
With rapture mother only knows =
Let it gush forth in words of iervent prayer;
Let IT swell up 10 Heaven for her precious care.
There are smiles and tears in that gathering band
Where the heart is pledged with the trembling
hand
What trying thoughts in her bosom swell,
As the bride bids parents and home farewell
kneel down by the side Of The fearful fair.
And strengthen the perIlous hour with prayer
kneel down by the sinners side.
And pray for his soul, through him who died
Large drops of anguish are thick Ga his brow
Oh what are earth and lis pleasures now
And what shall assuage bis dark despair,
But the pentent cry Of humble prayer
Kncel down at the couch Of departing faith,
And hear the last words the believer saith,
lie has hidden adieu to his earthly friends
There is peace in his eye, that upw ard bends
There is peace in his calm, conGding arr
For his last thoughts are God's-his last words,
prayer.
The voice of prayer at the sable bier
A voice TO sustain, to soo,he, and to cheer,
Il commends the spirit to God who gave
II lifts the thoughts from the cold, dark grave;
Ii points to the glory where be shall reign,
Who whispered, +" Thy brother shall rise again"
The voice of prayer D the world of bliss -
Bat gladder, purer than rose from this
The ransomed shout to their glorious King.
Where sorrow shades the soul as they sing;
But snless and joyous song they raise,
And their voice of prayer is eternal praise.
Awake awake and grid up thy strength,
To JOIN that bel = band al length.
To Hils, who uncelsing love displays,
Whom the powers of nature INCREASINGLY praise,
To Him thy heart and thy hours be given
For life OF prayer is tbs life Of heaven

MEDICINES, in every instance where they
hlve been thoroughly used, have TRluMPHED

forms. The salutary effects of the Life Medi-
eines have, in fact, been so universally experience
ed that IN the short space OF i've years, they have
become fully established as the most easy, safe
and perfect mode OF treatment ever offered to the
public.
II is unnecessary, here. for DR.. Moffat to re-
capitulate all the reasons which have induced

for him TO say, that the disinterested testimony
of his fellow citizens who have been induced TO
