THE REVELATIONS or AS
TRONOMY.
From the North British y r., ~.

If -. .urmer days, and in heather lands,
ignorance was the mother of devotion, she
has, in modern times and among civilized
nations, become her bitterest and most I'M
placable foe. When the ministers of reli-
gion were the sole depostarieso Of knowledge,
the sovereignty of their God was unchal-
lenged, whether he was saint, hero, or a
reptile. Science and imposture had com
bined their powers to deceive and enslave
the people. Piety sought its reward in Sc
cular distinction and animal enjoyment, and
when the twin lusts of pleasure and Of power
had lost their hold over the mind, the terrors
of guilt and the dread Of punishment bound
their victims with a still more CALLING chain.
The light of truth, however, religious and
physical, gradually broke in upon the do
main of priestcralt The crypts Of the
juggler were laid open--the lying oracles
ceased torespond--the demon shrine smoked
no more--and ignorance lost for ever her
monopoly of devotion.
When society had passed this neutral
point, this node of her ascending orbit, the
God Of nature began to be recognized in his
works, and visions Of immutabc truth, en-

TIME.

There is a.silcnt river,
The rolling river Time
In Summers rosy bushes,
In honry Winters time,
1t ilpwoth, llowcth, nowoth,
In whatsoever cline.
And wcll-trimmed barks are sailing
Upon lis silent tide;
With golden riches laden,
The little vessels glide;
And Faith, and Love, and Action,
And Hope arc side by side.
And oh, host of others
Compose the little fleet;
Now soon the waves are hcaving-
Now wide the waters beat:
Grey mists steal DER the water,
The mournful mists of Fate,
The polar-star giows DINNER:
The scattered vessels driven:
All wide in disappointment
Unto the waves are given,
And Faith alone romaiheth
To bear the soul to Heaven.

PROVIDENCE.

tIho following beautiful Sonnet from the Italian of Fc
is taken fom old volume of the Examiner when under
oditorshr of leigh lIunt]
Just MS a mother with sweet, pous face,
Nearns toward her little chilhen from her scat,
Gives one a kiss, another embrace,
Takes this upon her knees, that upon her feet;
And while from actions looks complaints, prcteuccs,
She leans thor feelings, and their various will,
To this look, to that word, dsponsos,
Aud whether stem smiling, loves them still =
Sc Providence for us, high, infinite,
Makes our necessities its wntcful task,
Hearkeus to all our prayers, helps all our wants,
And even if it denies what right
Either denies because 'twould have ask,
Or seems but TO deny or in denying grants.
