PRAYING AND LIVING. Ever labor to live
suitable 10 thy prayers. It is to no purpose to be-
gun the day with God, and lqen spend it with the
devil to be a saint in the morning in thy closet and
then sinner all day in the world Having prayed
against sin, be thou watch against it, avoiding
the occasions and temptations thereto; for otherwise
thou wilt fall before it. Having prayed for holiness
of life, labor TO live holly. Having prayed for hu
mility, labor to walk humby. Having prayed for So
briefly and temperance labor to live sobery and tenn
pcrately. Having prayed in the SPIRIT labor TO walk
in the spirit Ever bear in mind that to pray for one
thing and to live for another, is contradtion and
an impiety. The whole course Of thy life should sa-
vor of thy prayers. He who hath all his religion in
his prayers, hath religion at all

Are the Ancient holy bills
Where angels walked Of old?
l. this the land our story flli
With glory not yet codI
For I have passed by many a shrine,
O'er many land and sea,
Bat still OH promised Palestine
My dreams have been Of thee,
see thy mountain cednrs green,
Thy valleys fresh and fair,
With summers bright as they have been
When Tsracl's home was there:--
Tho DER thee sword and time have passcd,
And cross mud crescent shone,
And heavily the chain hath pressed,
Yet thou art still our own
Thine aye the wandering race that 20
Unbessed through every land
Whose blood has stained the polar snow,
And quenched the desert sand
And thine the homeless hearts that turn
From all earth's shrincs to thee,
With their lone faith for ages borne
In sleepess memory.
For thrones are Authorizations gone,
Before the march Of time,
And where the ocean rolled alone
Are forests in their prime,
Since Gentle poughsharcs marr'd the brow
or lions holy hill
Where are the Roman eagles nov,
Yet Judah wnnders still
And hath she wandered thus 10 vain
A pilgrim Of the pasl7
No! long deferred hor hope hath been,
But il shall come ut last:
For in herw voice boar,
As from some prophets urn,
1t bids tho nations build not thore,
For Jacob shall return.
Oh! lost and loved Jerusalem,
Thy pilgrim may rot stay,
TO see the glad earth's harvest home,
In thy rcdeeming day:
But now resigned in faith and trnst,
| seek n nnmeIcss tomb;
Al least beneath the hallowod dust
o give the wanderor room.

The Happy Girl.

Ay, she is happy grl-we know by her fresh
looks and buoyant spirits. Day in and day out
she has something to do, and she takes hold of
her work as if she did not feat to soil her hands
or dirty her apron. Such girls we love and re.
spect wherever we find them-in palace or
hovel. Always pleasant and always kind, they
never turn up their noses before your face or
slander you behind your back. They have more
good sense and better employment, What are
dirts and buslle-bound girls in comparison with
theseG Good for nothing but to look at, and
that is rather disgusting. Give us The ndustri.
Gus and happy girl, and we care not who wor-
ships fashionable and idle simpletons. Boston

HYMN no THE FLOWERS.

BY HORACE SMITH,
Day stars that ope your eyes with morn, to twinkle
From rainbow galaxies Of earth's creation,
And dew drops on her lonely altars sprinkle
AS hbation.
Ye matin worshippers! who. bending lowly
Before the uprisen sun, Gods HdLeSs eye,
Throw from your chalices sweet and holy
Incense on high.
Ye bright mosaics that with storied beauty a.i
The floor ofnanre's temple tesselate,--
What numerous emblems of instructive duty
Your forms create.
Meath cloistered boughs each fora bell that swngeth
And tolls its perfume on the passing air,
Makes sabbath in the fields and eyer ringeth
call to prayer
Not to the domes where crumbling arch and column
Attest the leebeness of mortal hand,
But to that fame, most catholic and solemn,
Which God hath planned
To that cathedral, boundless as our wonder,
Whose quenchess lamps the sun and moon supply;
Its choir, the wind and waves-its organ, thunder
Its dome, the sky!
There, as in solitude and shade Iwander
Through the lone aisle, or stretched upon the sod,
Awed by the silence, leverently ponder
The waysof God
Your vol 3eless lips oh flowers are living preachers
Each cup to puIpit-every leaf to book,
Supplying to my fancy numerous teachers
From loneest nook,
Floral apostles thatin dewy splendor
''Weep without woe, and blush without a crime,''
Oh may deeply learn and meier surrender
Your love sublime
"Thou vert not Solomon, in all thy glory
Arrayed,'' the lilies cry, sin robes like ours;
How vain your grandeur! ah how transitory
Are human flowers"
In sweet scented pictures, heavenly artist,
With which thou paintest natures wide spread hall
What a delightful lesson thou impartest
OF love TO all.
Not useless are ye Flowers! thou made for pleasure
Blooming DER field and wave, by day and night,
From every source your sanction bids me treasure
Harmless delight
Ephemeral sages! what instructors hoary
For such a world Of thought could furnish scope
Each fading calyx a "memento mori"
Yet 1ount ofhope.
Posthumous glones! angellike collection!
Upraised from seed of bulb inferred in EARTH
Yeare to me type of resurrection,
second birth
Were /, oh God, in churchess lands remaining,
Far from all voice of teachers and divines,l
My soul would find in flowers OF thy ordaining,
Priests. sermons, sbrnes.

INTERESTING VARIETIES.
AnotIler DiRicuEty nd ParIkersbnrgIl.

The elements at Parkersbnrg, Va, appear to
be in fierce commotion, and all manner of an.
tics are cut, rejecting but little credit on COM
munity we have always been disposed to esteem
for IFS intelligence and love of order. The Ohio
Conference ot the Me ihodist Church, a; its last
session, in Cincinnati, stationed Rev. John Dh-
lon at ParkeFsburg, TO succeed Rev. Ezra Brown,
ON the recommendation, as it was supposed, of
the latter.
The Church is about equally divided for and
against receiving minister from the Ohio Con.
ference Those who were in the negative, clo-
sed the church doors against Mr.. Dillon on Sab
bath morning and refused 10 let him in. He sue
ceeded in getting in, however, as we learn from
the Marietta InleIlgencer, and preached. An
Indignation meeting was held the next day, and
a committee Of sixty persona was appointed to
wait upon him and notify him that he must re.
move or be removed by force!
Rev. E. Brown, whenhe returned to the town
to remove his family, was threatened with coat
of Tar and feathers! Neither of these gentIe-
men are charged with Aboltionism; yet such
proceedings are tolerated in open day. Half of
the Church want minister from the Ohio Con-
ference and they are denied the privilege of hay.

THE TRAVELLER.
LETTER FROM w. G. BRYANT, ESQ.
EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK EVENING POST. s1
LONDON, July %, lS45,

Since we came to England we have visited
the Lunatic Asylum at LIanwell, in the neigh
borhood OF London. 1t is large building, divi-
ded into numerous apartments, with the plainest
accommodations for the insane poor of the coun-
ty of Middlesex. Il is superintended by DR.. Co.
molly, who is most admirably fitted for tine place
he fills, by his great humanity, sagacity and in
genuity,
put these qualities together os necessary to
each other. Mere humanity, without tact and
skill, suppose would not answer. The rude
and coarse methods of government which consist
IN severity, are the most obvious ones; they sug-
gest themselves TO the dullest minds, and cost
nothing but bodily strength TO put them in exc
cution; the gentler methods require reflection,
knowledge and dexterity. 1t is these which DR.,
Connolly applies with perfect success. He has Ia.
ken great pains TO make himself acquainted, by
personal observation, with the treatment of the
insane in different hospitals, not only in England,
but on the continent. He found that to be the
most efficacious which interfered least with their
personal liberty, and on this principle, the truth
of which an experience Of several years has now
confirmed, he founded the system Of treatment
at Hanwell.
We had letters TO DR.. Conolly, with the kind
ness and gentleness Of whose manners we were
much struck. He conducted us over the seve-
raj wards Of the Asylum. We found in it thou
sand persons of both sexes, not one of whom was
in seclusion, that is TO say confined, because it
was dangerous to allow them to go at large--nor
were they subjected TO any apparent restraint
whatever. Some were engaged in reading, some
in exercises and games Of skill; of the females
some were occupied in sewing, others at work
in the kitchen or the laundry; melancholic pa
tients were walking about in silence or sitting
gloomly by themselves; idiots were rocking
their bodies backwards and forwards as they sat,
