Mid sighs and tears,
Mid doubts and fears.
When Sorrows darkning clouds
With sombre hue,
Appear in view.
And grief my heart enshrood';
A beauteous star
From words aIar.
Comes piercing through the gloom
And whispers rest,
Among the bles,,
Beyond the yawning tomb.
It's cheering ray
Proclaims day
Beyond all foars OF nights
Where spoIcss truth
And endless yOath,
Blsk in eternal flight.

A Shepherds care,
With pleasant Pastare feeds

While from the rock
The stream Of life proceeG5'
From meath Gods throne
That stream hath flown
For endless ages on:
For sin unsealed
That all who yield
Their hearts TO Christ the Son
May sit beside
It's siIvery tide,
And watch its ceaseless.
May Freely drink,
And cease 10 think
or what was mortal woe.
This star PrOclaims
That whaITemalns
OF life, is but a span;
That endless rest
Among the bIes'.
Remains for rebel man.
Bright beacon thou!

While thy bright rays

lie is bold and powerful, and. not
withstanding his want of consisten-
cy, honest. Conscious Of the pos
session OF great abilities, conscious o.
the validity of certain claims he has
unattained good reputation and
happiness, he has sought for both
through almost every variety OF ac-
ton aud opinion-always thinking
himself right, though nearly always,
As he has bcen doomed To learn, IN
the wrong. He is an exceedingly
voluminous writer. in religion and
politics. as well as in metaphysics.

O. The following is a short and
condensed sketch Of the life Of Gen.
Jackson, by the eccentric, though
talented Z F. Marshall Of Kentucky,
some years since. 1t is certainly a
graphic picture:
ale has never been, through life,
without an antagonist, and he has al
ways been victorious. His horses
always won when he was a racer.
He had n contest with Dickinson,
and killed him. He had a fracas with
the Bentons, and clared them out.
He used up Packenham and the
British army at New Orleans, those
veterans who had gone through the
Peninsula without meeting an adj
versary who could withstand them
for a moment. He hung Arbnthnot
and AmbrIster, and bullied the Senate
when called TO account for it. He
beat John Quincy Adams in the race
for the Presidency, and crushed the
''monster bank" under the heel Of his
military boot. For the many inju-

to the State Of Kentucky. 1t is to
be regretted that our State, the land
OF his adoption, his home and his
grave, does not retain the relics Of
this noblest Of her sons. HIS fame
is the property Of Missouri, aud is in

early history.

That spirit is still undimmed and G.

the zeal which penetrates the gorges
