Of the house. This the damse stoutly denied but her
mamma would not believe her, and q terrible punish.

rears itself from the edge of the horizon! And
from the centre of that arch of fire, flash OF light
ming followed by instantaneous crash, blinds the
eyes of the anxious leader and his busy crew. In
moment more, the fierce Norther strikes the ship
aback-from the top of giant billow it hurls her
down. A huge abyss yawns to receive her-and
with her manmast blazing with the lightning's
fire, and her tattered stars cleaning in the lurid
glare down, down to the ocean sepulchre sinks the
gallant Wasp, with her immortal BlakeIy and his
matchless crew.
One wild wall now rings along the solitary sea;
it dies in echoes far away. The wind howls sadly
in its fury, the waves leap in their majesty around
the thunder peal answers the roar Of the billow,
and the dead sleep in their coffin of glory in sweet
forgetfulness.

''LET THERE BE LIGHT"
by EBENEzER ELLIOTT, OF ENGLAND.
God said let there be light!
Grim darkness felt his might,
And fled away; ~
Then started seas, and mountains cold
Shone forth, all bright in blue aud gold,
And cred, IT'S day lis day!
Hail holy light! exclaimed
The thunderous clouds that famed
O'er DAISIES white;
And 10! the rose, in crimson dress'd,
Leaned sweetly DER the lilly's breast,
And blushIng, murmured g Light. I"
Then was the skylark born;
Then the rose embatlled corn;
Then floods of praise
Flowed o'er the sunny hills of noon;
And then in the stIlest night the moon
Poured forth her pensive rays;
Lo! heavens bright bow is glad!
Lo! trees and flowers, all clad
In glory, bloom.
And shall the immortal sons of God
Be senseless as the untrodden clod,
And darker than the tomb?
No; by the mind of man,
By the swart artisan,
By God, our sire!
Our souls have holy light within, .r
And every form of grief and sin
Shall see and feel its fire.
By earth, and hell, and heaven!
The shroud of souls is riven.
Mind, mind alone ....,
Is light, and hope, and life, and power;
Earth's deepest night from this blest hour,
The night of mind is gone! 3,
