0! shall that glad and holy mora
Over Earth's darkness never dawn;
When, rescued from the arm Of Sin,
The world and all who dwell therein
Shall be the heritage of Him
Whose empire is Lofnity;
Before whose throne yon sun were dim
To the bright ranks Of seraphin
Who bend the adoring kneei
Shall one eternal stain Of crime
Make dark the restless wave of Time!
And never, on its stormy breast,
Mans shattered bark in brightness rest
While the clear waters, still and free,
Glide on serenely to the sea-
waveless and dread eternityl
Thou who rent the veil, before
The vision Of thine oden sages;
And gave thy prophets light, to pore
Upon the doom of coming ages:
Roll back the midnight pail once more,
From the cim Futures starless shore,
A0d lend mortal eye one glance T..
Into the hidden things to come;
One glimpse to pierce the dark expanse
Where smiles our joy, or frowns our doom.
| All see roll not it, foldings back'
The veil il torn, and tar along,
view the calm and stormless track
Where sweeps the essening tide Of x rong
Till the polluted wave Of Time
pours darkened by no stain OF crime;
Pure as the visioned, crystal sea,
whose mirroring waters, deep and free,
wnnowed by seraph-wlngs alone,
/ Curl bright before the Eterna's throne,
/ Aud picture, in their depths below,
F The ethereal hghtnings vivid glow.
The spirits Of the martyred Just,
Baptized on earth with fire and blood,
/ Who spurned their hated chains of dust,
And winged their homeward fight to Cod
| Hang forward, from each golden cloud
Which wreathes the brow If upper Heaven
| While, on celestial harps aloud,
| New praises TO our God are given.
| Thiouged with the joys of heavenly birth,
| Fair Virtue, and holy Rest
| Sweep in bright phalanx over earth,
To tho soft music of the Blcsi.
see their spotless choir advance,
Their pathway lat by Gods own glance
And streaming bright, their ranks above.
The snow white banner folcs of Love;
While, swelling on the wing-beat air,
Aoother song ascendeth
To heavens cloud Swallowed throne, ard there
With seraph-antheLs blendeIh
Earth kindles into Joy along
Their stayess course, aud lightly springs
Famed into life by angel-A ings,-
The hinting Hope. that crushed by Wrong,

And, from its verdureless repose.
The desert waste OF human woes,
Burning and ack and dIeadful, where
Swept the sirOcc0 OF Despair,
Springs into lie and gIadness, fair
And blooming as the rose.
Stern Violence and Wrong no more
Shall haunt and vex the weary world
lust Weakened into light, before
The banner Of the Cross uniurled;
Far, DER the fyins gloom, is dA~n mag,
Perfect and full, the joyful morning,
By holy men and seers Of old,
Ia mystic visions, long loretold,
When Earth her gadness shall renew,
And Love unite the lamb aud hon,
And Peace descend, like IIermon's dew,
On ali the holy mountain Zion;
The Sabbath of the world hath come,
The ong-desired Millennium. e. D. H.

The INFLUENZA IN THE CITY OF
New YoRK is said 10 be SO unusual, that
not an individual appears to escape. 1t
appears in cough, sore throat, pains 10
the back and head, and distress in the
lungs, &C. The vapor bath is spoken Of
as the best remedy. This epidemic was
at first attributed to the profusion of the
Croton water, and the saturatlon of the
earth with that from the cisterns and un-
used wells; but ship coming in from
Liverpool with more than two hundred
and fifty people, mostly afflicted with this
disease, together with its appearance at
other places, rather upset this theory. In
Albany it prevails severely, and in Utica

FIVE thousand dollars from any part to any part OF

Currency has heretofore been afforded by Ma

decide that no other means of creating 1t is or
ever will be possible-we are willing to consider
without prejudice any other plan which may be
suggested. We are confident the next Wing
Congress will do so, and will decide in favor OF
that plan which shall seem best calculated to sub
serve the great end desired, which IS Sound
and Uniform National Currency, in accordance
with the Wing principle that it is the duty OF the
Government to provide such Currency. And
when Congress shall have decided on the MEANS
be assured that we shall have Wing President
who will render hearty concurrence. SUCH we
understand to be the Wing platform in relation to
the Currency.
