What noble and powerful rscommen-
dation Of Christianity 10 the world! to see
this great old man. the greatest man Of his
day, in all the yigor Of intellect and arden
cy OF feeling, bending the knee before God
and with the simplicity of little child, re-
ceiving upon his head handful Of cold wa
ter, in the name Of the Holy Trinity!--thus
attesting his faith in the Christian religion,
and his determination to live and die in lis
sacred principles. Na3i .lgfty
One ofthe prominent sins Of the present
day is, that the great men Of country, as
abody, although they may be, for the most
part, speculative believers in Christianity,
are, nevertheless, not regardful Of religion,
and Of God. Let them review their ground
let them look AZ the tremendous influence
they WELD in behalf Of ineligion and Of evil;
and consider the mighty powerthey might
exert for religion and ofgood. Let them tx,
their eyes upon the practical testimony To-
the truth and value Of christianity, given by
tthegiantin intellect, whose name stands Al
the head Of this paper, and 60 and do Ike
wise.

"Bright afluence of bright essence increatel
Before the sun, before the heavens, thou vert. ="
MILToH.
From the aueksned womb Of the primal gloom
The sun rolled black and bare,
TIL I woye him vest for his Ethiop breast
Ofthe threads Of my golden hairi
And when the broad tent Of the frmamen'
Arose on its airy spars,
I peuced the hue Of its matches due
And spangled it round with stars
Ipsn,ed the flowers ofthe Eden bowers,
And their leaves of living green,
And mine were the dyes IN the sihiess eyes
Of Eden's virgin queen;
And when Fiond's art on her rustiul heaTt
Had fastened its poral spell,
In the silvery sphere of the frst-born tear
To the trembling earth fell,
When the waves that burst Ger world aceurssdi
Their work of wrath had sped,
And the Ark's lone few, the tried and true,
Came forth among the deadi
With the wondrous CLEANS OF my braided beams,
bade their terrors cease,
AsI wrote on the roll of the storms dark scroll
Gods covenant of peace.
Like a pail at rest on pulseless breast,
Nights funeral shadow slept.
Where shepherd swans on the DstnLehSm PAaihA
Their lonely vigils kept;
When flashed on their sight the heralds bright
OF heavens redeeming plan,
As they chanted the morn of Saviour born
Joy, Joy to the outcast man!
EQUAL favor show to the lofty and low.
On the lust and unjust descend
Fen the blind, whose vain spheres roll in darkness
and tears,
Feel my smile the blest smile ofa friend;
Nay, the flower ofthe waste by my love is embraced
As the rose in the garden of kings;
At the crysalis bier of the worm appear,
And lO the gay butteray's wings!
The desolate Morn, like mourner forlorn,
Conceals all the pride OF her charms,
Till bid the bright Hours chase the night from he
bowers,
And lead the young day oher arms:
And when the gay rover seeks Eve for lever
And sinks to her balmy repose,
Iwrap their soft rest by the zePhyr-fanned wsst'
In curtains of amber and rose.
From my sentinel steep, by the nght-brOOded deep
gaze with unslumbering eye,
When the cynosure star of the mariner
Is botted from the sky;l
And guided by me through the merciess sea,
Though sped by the hurricanes wings,
His compassess bark lone, weltering, dark.
To haven-home safely he brings.
Iwaken the flowers in their dew-spangled bowers
The birds in their chambers of green,
And mountain and plain glow with beauty again.
As they bask in my matinal sheen.
Off such the glad worth ofmy presence to esrth'
Though itfll and heeting the while,
What gories must rest on the home of the blsst,
Ever bright with the DEITY's SMILE!
