THE GRAVE.

and direct our thoughts to Him who rules on high
There the pride of state appears trihing, and ther

Washington Irving remarks that he s'never en-
tiers graveyard without feeling that he is wiser
and better man." Health may run riot in on,
veins, strength and vgor may assure us long life
and manhood, may look forward to green old AGE
but the fresh sod marble slab reminds us of death
and tells us that youth and health are unable TO re-
sist its attacks.
Look around you and observe its victims See
genius and ambition buried with ignorance and i'm
beclty, and youth and beauty laid low with ape
and care.
Approach the grave of him who governed mil
lions, and guided the ship of state through storms
and perlls TO safety and prosperity. Once great and
powerful sycophants poured f1a!tery in his ear and
thousands shouted his praises. Now he sleeps in
Deaths embrace, "and none SO poor to do him rev.
erence."
Mark where the rich man lies Broad fields and
swelling acres once were his; wealth laid her tri-
bu'es at his feet; and, possessing all that mortal
could desire, men said he was supremely happy
Now lies he here,

Look at the grave of departed beauty. The rose
is wi.hered-the lily is blighted--the once blight

WORMS are merry at their banquet.

this company should refuse to fight by the side of
that, because it should happen to wear blue uni-
form instead of red, because device appeared
ON its standard rather than another. And yet this
is fair representation of many of those causes Of
strife which have divided the church of God, and
arrayed the children Of his family in hostile attitudes
towards one another
The plan which my friend has adopted for smooth
ing down the asperites that adhere to the clerical
profession in our times, has made deep impression
upon my mind, and induced me to pen this paper

tracts could effect, and that in
the end, some common platform might be devised

The following graphic description of the action
OF the lnquistion, is taken from the History of the
Revolt of the Netherlands, by Schiller" 1t is
scarcely possible, in the present improved condition
of the human mind, TO imagine that its whitening
influence can ever again be extended over the civ
ilized world. it is well, however occasionally 10
present the picture before the public, to show to
what extent fanat;cism and the lust Of power, will
carry unregenerate man.
''Bare suspicion was enough to snatch citizen
from the bosom of public tranquility, and from his
domestic circle; and the weakest evidence was
sufficient justification for the use of the rack
Whoever fell into its abyss, returned no more IN
the world. All the benefits of the laws ceased for
him the maternal care Of justice no longer noticed
him beyond the pale of his former world malice
and stupidity judged him according to laws which
were never intended for man. The delinquent new
er knew his accuser, and very seldom his crime
agltiouS, deviliSh artfice which constrained the
unhappy victim TO guess at his error, and, in the
delirium of the rack, in the WEAKNESS of long
living interment, TO acknowledge transgressons
which perhaps had never been committed, or al
least had never come TO the knowledge of his judg-
es The goods Of the condemned were confiscated,
and the informer encouraged by letters ofgrace and
reward. No privilege, no civil jurisdiction, was
valid against the holy power the secular arm lost
forever all whom that power had touched. Its only
share in the judicial duties of the latter, was to eX
ecue its sentence with humble submissiveness-
The consequences Of such an institution were, of
necessity, unnatural and horrible the whole tempo
raj happiness. the life itself, of an innocent man,
was at the mercy of any worthless fellow. Every
secret enemy, every envious person, had now the
perllous temptation of an unseen and unfailing re-
venge. The security of property, the sincerity of
intercourse, were gone: all the ties of interest were
dissolved all Of blood and of affection were irrepar-
ably broken. An infectious dis,rust envenomed So
cia life; the dreaded presence of spy terrified the
eye from seeing aud choked the Voice in the midst
OF utterance. No one believed In the existence of
an honest man, or passed for one himself. Good
name the ties of country, brotherhood. even oaths
and all that man holds sacred, Were fallen in esti-
nation. Such was the destiny to which great and
iiourishng commercial town (Antwerp,) was sub
jected, where hundred thousand industrious
men had been brought together by the single tie of
mutual confidence; every one indispensable to his
peIghbor, and yet every was now dstrusted
and dstrusttul; all attracted by the desire of gain
aud repealed from each other by fear all the props
OF society torn away, where social union was the

TIL e b L N d BOY.
II was blessed summer day,
The flowers bloomed--the air was mild,
The little birds poured forth their lay,
And every thing in nature smiled.
In pleasant thoughts wandered on
Beneath the deep woods ample shade,
Till suddenly came upon
Two children who had thither stray'd.
Just al an aged birch trees foot
A little boy and girl reclin'd,
His hands in hers she kindly put,
And then saw the boy was blind.
The children knew not was near;
A tree concealed me from their view,
But all they said well could hear.
And could see all they might do
"Dear Mary" said the poor blind boy,
"That little bird sings very long;
Say do you see him in his Joy,
And is he pretty as his song?'
eyes, Edward, yes" replied the maid,
al see the bird on yonder tree )"
The poor boy sighed, and gently said,
''Sister, wish that could sce.''
"The flowers, you say, are very fair,
And bright green leaves on the trees,
And pretty birds arc singing there
How beautiful for who sees.
"Yet, / the fragrant flowers can smell,
And can feel the green leafs shade,
And can hear the notes that swell
From those dear birds that God has made.
$50, sister, God TO me is kind,
Though sight, alas He has not given;
But tell me are .hcre any blind
Among the children up in heaven?"
"No, dearest Edward there all sec
But why ask me thing odd ?"
"Oh, Mary, He's so good 10 me,
thought I'D like TO look at God
Ere long disease his hand had laid
On that dear boy SO meek and mild
His widow'd mother wept and prayed
That God would spare her sightless child.
He felt her warm tears on his face,
And said-"Oh never weep for me,
Pm going to bright-brght place
Where Mary says God shall see.
"And you'll be there, dear Mary, too;
But mother when you get up there,
Tell Edward. mother, that tits YOU
You know i never you here"
He spoke no more bu; sweety smi'd
Until the final blow was given
When God took up that poor blind child
And open'd first his eyes in Heaven.
