THE mIDNIGHT SKIES.

The midnight skies-the midnight skies
Oh what solemn grandeur lies
Upon their brOws eternal height;
And vet around them wreathed there seems
A halo, Brighter than the beams
Caught from the smiles of life and light.
The midnight skies-the midnight skies
Millions of ever-waking eyes
Look through their silent starry bowers,
Watching their wizard twin of death;
Sleep--thinly moving on the breath
OF mortals--in this sphere Of ours.
The midnight skies-the midnight skies
In vain the Unbe lever tries
To laugh their shadowy terrors off;
For DER his soul they cast a spell
OF God-head, so ineffable
AS freezes on his lips the scof.
The midnight skies--grand boundless deep
Halls, where the watching angels keep
The passes of eternity.
Regions mysterious and sublime,
Stretched out upon the wings of time
Dominions of Deity!
We know that God is every where
Beyond the eastern ocean, there
He girds the morn with wings of light
lie spreads upon the sunny hour
The dark pavilion of his power,
And then we say, behold tits night!
But oh-'tis in the skies alone
The skies of midnight, God hath shown
Perspectives to the deathless mind
Mansions, that all the blaze of day
Could never to the mind display
Afar in distant Glory shrin'd. =.

6r 1T the late Berkshire (Mass.) Jubilee,
Mr.. Macready, the tragedun, recited in style
of beautiful elocutGn, the exquisite metrical
version fan Eastern fable by Leigh Hunt, which
observes to be printed in letters of gold, and
taken to heart by nll" Would that the heaven
born sentiment itcOntans were appreciated and
acted upon by all:
'Abon Ben Adhem (muy his tribe increase)
Awoke one night from deep dream of pence,
And saw, within the moonlight in his room,
Milking itrich and like lily in bloom,
An Angel writing in q book Of gold.
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And in the presence in the room he said
What wTitest thoup The vision raised his head,
And, in a voice made all Of sweet concord,
AnsFered. THE names Of those who love the Lordy
And is mine oneg said Ben Adhem. NAY, not so,
Replied the Angel. Abon spoke more low.
But cheerly still; Ipray thee, then,
Write me as one who loves his fellow-men.'
The Angel wrote and vanished. The next night
He came again. with great Weakening light,
And showed the nnmes whom love Of God had blest
| And lo Ben Adhcm's name led all the rest"

promiscuously by both sexes.

Should he make excuse, she resolves to perse-
we're, and takes up her lodging there; should he
continue obstinate, the church takes her side,
her kindred are ready TO avenge her honor, and
he has no method but 10 betake hmselfto fight
till she is otherwise disposed Of
From the story of Sampson and Deliah, says
cotemporary, it would seem that the young
men of Israel were denied the power of asking
female in marriage. Sampson saw in Simuah
one that was beautiful, and he said TO his father,
"I have seen woman of the daughters of tho
Phstines, now therefore get her for me TO
wife," But his parents objected he, however,
did not eope, or go to Texas---he merely re-
peated, "get her for me, for she pleaseth me
Iwell."

OH! DO NOT SUPPOSE!

OH! DO NOT SUPPOSE!
Oh! do not suppose that my hours
Are always uncloudcd and gay;
Or that thoms never mix with the flowers
That foytune has strewed i'll my way;
When seen by the cold and unfeeling,
We smile through the sorrows we feel;
But smiles are Notwithstanding
The wounds which they never can heal.
Our moments of mirth may be many,
And hope half our sorrows beguiles;
But, believe me, there cannot be any
Whose features are always in smiles.
The heart may be sad and repining,
Though cheerlulness brightens the scene,
AS goblet with gems may be shining,
Though bitter the portion within.
A ghttering volume may cover
A story of sorrow and woe;
And nights brightest meteor may hover
Where dangers lie lurking below.
Thus oft in the sunshine of gladness
The cheek and the eye may be drest,
Whilst the clouds of detection and sadness
In secret o'ershadow the breast.
