BRAuTIFuL THoUeBTs.-There is some
thing touching beautiful in words when
sIgatly put together. They leave an
impression that can never be effaceJ. .
we have read again and again, till it is
40 familiar to US as the face Of friend.
the following splendid thought, and yet
every time we see it It's as fresh and
beautiful as ever. The author we know
not, but he deserves to be immortalizsd
for this morceau alons:--
aaf ~'A "How beautiful falls
Efom human lips that blessed word--roRo,vE;
Forglveness--'tis the attribute of God--
The sound which openeth Heaven--renews again
On Earth lost Eden's faded bloom, and filings
Hopes halcyon halo oer the waste of life.
Thrice happy he whose heart has been 80 schooled
In the meek lessons of humanity,
That he can give it utterance; it imparts
Celestial grandeur TO the human soul,
And naketh man an angel.

Evening closes-eyening closes
Over Bintra's mountain dim,
While the breeze from Jura's roses
Whispers natures Vesper hymn.
Holy Mother! blessed Virgin!
AS swe bow before thy shrine,
Call our thoughts from thee diverging,
Mother keep us-we are thine.
Now the oceans hollow voices,
Die away on Belem's shore,
Every lab'rer's heart reiolces,
Days perplexing tolls are DER,
By the cork trees on the mountain,
Io! the maiden chaunts to thee!
Whilst the doomed their beads are counting
On the tempest driven sea.
We have left the scenes of childhood.
We have left the lordly dome,
River, glen and waving wild wood,
Friends that sweetly whispered home!
Then while darkness scowls above US,
And our hearts as closed to sin,
Holy mother! thou wilt love us,
While we chaunt the Vesper hymn?
Holy Mot her! bless Thy daughters
With thy never eeasing smile,
Bless them o'er the silver waters,
Bless them in the lonely isle.
Bless, oh bless our earthly mother
Bless the prattler al her shrine,
Bless each sister and each brother,
Holy Mother! they are thine.
Night around us; waves her banners,
And the day star gilds the west,
Oh, receive our loud Hosannas,
Holy Mother of the blest!
Hear us thro' our Intercessor-
Who has triumphed over sin
Save in mercy the transgressor,
While we chaunt the vesper Hymn!
