+" Hope on, Hope Ever. >

Dean FRIENDs.-
Being detained from more active and i'm
portart service in humanity's cause by ILL
health, / felt inspired to write a word to en-
courage you in this great work of mans re-
demption. | felt the spirit of inspiration
come upon me more particularly while read
ing the following lines, which seemed 10 re-
new in my mind the fact, that hope ever
beams upon The good mans path through all
the trials of life and that a sure reward will
crown his being forever.
Hold up your head, then, man Of grief,
Nor longer 10 the tempest bend;
For soon or late must come relief;
The coolest, darkest night will end;
Hope in The true heart never dies!
Trust on-lhe day-siar yet shall rise.
"Concious Of purity and worth,
You may " it'll calm assurance wait
The tardy rccompense OF earth
And even should justice come too late
TO soothe the spirits homew ard flight,
Still heaven, al last, the rong shall right"
What is it that enables the mind to bear
up under the fiery shafts Of persecution and
hate-that %fortifies the noble heart against
abuses, and wrongs! Is it the hope Of gain
ing wealth-,he hope of honor-the hope Of
winning friendsl Oris it the conscious
ness of having all these in possession, that
causes the brow Of the true spirit 10 become
adamantine 10 all the curses of the throng-
that makes his heart all love-his works all
mercy, and his whole life conspicuous with
devotion TO his race ! No! All these things
are too mean 10 inspire a noble heart-they
never have, nor ever will cause one glitter
! ing star to dart its rays across the dark ma
e yes of humanity, directing the despairins
> mind-the despoiled victim TO a home-tt
an ASYLUM of safety and rest. But it is
consciousness of the right-a love OF the truth
that inspires the heart-that e~nlarges tn
soul-lhat makes the work Of man good, an
his whole life an uhsullied page OF devotion
to his kind.
Striking demonstrations Of the true an
faithful, have lived at every age ofil'e world
who have taken firm hold Of the great ma
> saving principles Of reform, carrying the ba
10 tie thereof 10 the very citadel Of the enem
against which the agitation was directed

TO gaze upon the now vacant saloon, where
stretched upon his gilded couch, the effemi-
naie monarch of the East was wooed TO sleep
by softly breathing music. What more de-
lightful than this secluded gnrden,green with
the leaf of the myrtle aud the orange and
freshened with the gush of fountains, beside
whose busin the nightingale still woos the
bushing rose? What more fanciiul, more
exquisite, more like creation of Oriental
magic, than the lofty tower Of the Tocahor,
its airy sculpture resembling the iretwork of
wintry frost,and lis windows overlooking the
romantic valley Of the Darro; and the city,
with its gardens, doneR, and spires, far, far
below? Cool through this Glattice comes the
summer wind, from the SUBMITS Of the Sier-
IA Neveda. Softly in yondcr fountain falls
the crystal water, dripping from It's marble
vase with never ceasing sound. On every
side comes up the fragrance ola thousand
flowers, the murnur Of innumerable leaves;
and overhead is where not vapor fioas,-ns
soft, and blue, and radiant as the eye ofchild-
hood!
Such is the Alhnmbra of Granada; for
tress-a palace-an earthly paradise-a ruin,
wonderful in its greatness!
