HYMN OF NATURE.

God Of the earth's extended plains!
The dark green fields contented lie;
The mountains rise like hcly towers,
Where man might commune with the sky;
The tall cliff challenges the storm
That lowers upon the vale below,
Where shaded fountains send their streams,
With Joyous music in their flow.
God of the dark and heavy deep!
The waves lie sleeping on the sands,
Till the fierce trumpet of the storm
Hath summoned up their laundering bands.
Then the white sails are dashed in foam,
Or hurry, trembling, oer the seas,
Till calmed by thee, the sinking gale
Sereney breathes, Depart in peace.
God of the forests solemn shade!
The grandeur Of the lonely tree,
That wrestles singly with the gale,
Lifts up admiring eyes to Thee.
But more majestic far they stand,
When, side by side, their ranks they form'
To wave on high their plumes of grace
And fight their battles with the storm
God of the light and viewless air!
When summer breezes sweetly flow,
Or, gathering in their angry might,
The fierce and angry tempests blow.
All--from the evenings plaintive sigh,
That hardly lifts the dropping flower,
To the wild whirlwinds midnight cry
Breathe forth the language of thy power.
God of the fair and open skyl
How gloriously above us springs,
The tented dome of heavenly blue,
Suspended on the rainbow's wings,
Each brilliant star that sparkles through,
Each gilded cloud that wanders free,
In evenings purple radience gives
The beauty of its praise to Thee
God of the rolling CRIBS above!
Thy name is written clearly bright
In the warm days unvarying blaze,
Or evenings golden shower of light'
For every fire that fonts the sun,
And every spark that walks alone
Around the utmost verge of heaven,
Were kindled at thy burning throne.
God of the world! the hour must oo'pe'
And Natures self to dust return;
Her crumblng altars must decay,
Her incense fires shall cease to burn;
But still her grand and lovely scenes
Have made mans warmest praises flow;
For hearts grow holier as they trace
The beauty of the world below.

Mr.. EDIToR:--It is not uncommon for
persons who are just engaged in wool

Legend. -
When King David WI flying across the
Desert of Ziph, pursued by Saul, he grew
impatient al the quantity ofspiaer's webs
he had to break, when he was picked by a
worm, he cried out in his passion, 'Great (
God! why hast thou created flies and spiders
which are Of no use. aud only.serve to hurt
me" Il will make you understand, said
prophe tic voice.
Some time afterwards he descended
Mount Achild, and ventured by night into
the camp of Saul to deprive him while
asleep, ofhis arms and cap. After having
succeeded in this project, he was about to
retire when his foot became entangled in
the legs of the faithful Abner, who slept
beside SauI.-Great was the embarrass-
ment Of David, how he should dlsengage
his foot from the hold Of Abner without
awakening this valient servant, and TO find
himself surprised thus in the enemy's camp.
David's anxiety was at its height, when
a fly bit Abner on his leg, and the pain
which the warrior felt, made him make a
movement of which David availed himself
10 withdraw his foot; and he then fled
quickly thanking God, that he had created
| flies.
Saul, however pursued him into the Des
ert; and to escape him David had slipped
into cavern, when God sent a spidef
which wove its web across the entrance o
the cavern. Saul and Abuer were quick
ly on the footsteps of the fugitive, and
Abner having said che is doubtless con.
ceaed in the hollow ofthis rock, let us &c
and look if he be not concealed there"

one could have entered without breaking

'Yon are right, answered Abuer, aod
they retired to continue their search else
where.
Then David cast himself on the GROUND
and cried, Lord pardon me for having
