"Genera'ion after generation, > says an elo~
dnent modern writer, "bave felt as nee feel,
and their fellows were az active in life as ours
are now. They passed away as a vapor, while
nature wore the same aspect OF beauty 40
when her Creator commanded her 10 he. And
SO lkewi ae shall il be when we are gene.
The heavens will be Al bright over our graves
as they are now around our path the
world will have the saine attraction for Off
string yet unborn, that she had once for our
selves, and that she has now for our children.
Yet a little while, and all this will have hap
pehe1! The throbbing heart will be stilled.
and we shall be at rest. Our funeral will wind
sn it's way, and the prayers will be said, and
the grave clods will be thrown in, and our
friends Will return, and we shall be left be-
hind TO d4rkness and the worm. And it may
be for a shsrt time we shall bs sp"ken of; but
the things of life will creep in, and our names
will soon be forgotten. Days will continue 10
move on, and laughter and song will be heard
in Inc very chamber in which we died ; and
the eve that mourned for us will be dried, and
will glisten again with j"y; and even our chill
dren will cease to think Of US. and will not
re member to lisp our name. Then shall we
have become, in the touching language Of the
pqalmist, forgotten and clean out Of mind! "

SABBATH EVENING"
nrsEo. D~.rRtrTIcE.
How calmly sinks the parting sun!
Yet twilight fingers still,
And beautiful as dreams of heaven,
II slumbers on the hill.
Earth sleeps with all her glorious things.
Beneath the Holy Spirits wings,
And rendering back the hues above,
Seems resting in a trance of love.
Round yonder rock the foresttrees
In shadowy groups %recline,
Like nuns at evening bowed in prayer.
Around the holy shrine.
And through their leaves The night winds blow
So calm and still-their music low,
Seems the mysterious voice of prayer,
Soft echoed on the evening air.
And yonder western throng Of clouds,
Retiring from the sky.
So calmly move, as softly glow,
They seem to fanrv's eye,
Bright creatures of a better sphere,
Come down mt noon to worship here,
And from their sacrifice ~oflove,
Returning to their homes above.
The blue eyes Of the golden sea,
The night arch floating high,
The flowers that gaze upon the heavens,
The bright streams leaping by,
Are living with religion-deep
On earth and sea its glories sleep,
And mingle with the starllghtfay
Like the soft light of parted days.
The spirit Of the holy eve
Comes through the silent air.
To feelings hidden spring. and wakes
A gush Of music there.
And The fair depth Of ether beam
So passing fair, We almost dream
That we can rise and wander through
The paths of ttacklcss blue.
Each snnl is filed with glorious dreams,
Each pulse is beating wild,
And thought is soaring TO the shrine
Of glory undefled.
And holy aspirations start
Like bleSt angels from the heart,
And blpd-for earth's dark eyes arc rlven-
Our spirits to the gates of Heaven.

the commencement Of The SfEth Book Of r.
Wings humorous History of New York, where
it stands ms piatn prose. though We have d.
vided II into lines for The sake Of showing The
remarkable poettc rhythm by which II il

Of The description Of the ntmtng Of Petsf

may be elassed among literary eurietiest
"T'he gallant warrior starts from soft repose,
From golden visions and veluptuous ease
Where, IN the dulGst piping time Of peace
lie sought sweet solaee after all his tolls.
No more. IN Boaaty's siren lap reeliuad,
He weayss fair garlands for his lady's brows ;
No more entwines with flowers his shining
sword.
Nor through The live-long lazy summers do
Chauts forth his iovsssiek soul IN madfieala.
To manhood reused he spufns the amorous
fl ts.
D6Is from his bra why back the robe Of peace,
Aud clothes bis Pampered limbs in papoply Of
sleel.
Der his dark brow, where late the myrtle
waved.
Where wanton roses breathed enervate love,
He rears the b~saming cagque and neddipg
plume;
Grasps the bright shield and pondrous lance,
Or mounts with eager pride his fiery eteed,
And burns for deeds Of glorious chivairy."
