nature, not place can be selected
more fit for the exhibition of Almigh-

summit ofthe giant Etna, and looked
over thes clouds floating beneath it,
upon the bold scenery of Sicily, and
the giant mountains ofCalabria; upon
the top Of VeSuviuS, and looked down
upon the waves Of lava, and the ru-
ined and halfrecovered cities at its
foot; but they are nothing compared
with the territorial solitudes, and
bleak majesty Of Sinai. An observ-
ing traveller has well called it per
feet "sea of desolatiOn. Not tree
or shrub, or blade of grass, is to be
seen upon the bare and rugged sides
of innumerable mountains heaving
their naked SUBMITS to the skies
while the crumbling masses of granite
all around, and the distant view q
the Syrian desert, with its boundlesi
waste Of sands from the widest anC
most dreary, the most terrific ant
deSolate picture that imagination car
conceive.
The level surface of the very tot
or pinnacle is about sixty fee
square. At one end is a single rocl
about twenty feet high, on which, a

cended, while beneath his favoreu
s ervant received the tables of tn
law. There, on the spot where the,

The administration seemed deter
mined to leave no means untried to

at Monterey appears to be consider
ed as among the objectionable sins.
The late order for his recall from
the mission in which he is now en-.
gagged, although done at the hazard
ofgreat injury to the country, could
be overlooked; perhaps-but the adj
ministration has capped the climax
gifts petty vindictiveness by chang

ask not TO Hnger here on earth,
WIRES all is cold and drear;
Where every flower conceals a thorn,
And every smile tear.
In yon bright land to which | 60,
There's naught but JOY and bliss,
Then Why should | longer seek TO live,
In such a world as this!
Bright spirits wait to lead me there,
And chide my long delay
The spotless robes prepared for me
And Jesus bids me haste away.
Yon golden harp is tuned for me,
Oh! hssing sweet its tone,
III raise my vice and touch its chords,
And join the heavenly song.
I've heard thee speak Of fairy lands,
And moonlight isles in oceans blue
I've heard thee speak Of Eaden shades;
Where all was lovely TO the view.
But fancy ne'er can paint so fair;
So pure a cline as this,
And earthly minds may not conceive
Nor feeel the raplured bliss.
Oh! mother, shall meet You there!
And sisters, will YOU comet
And brother shall I lack for thee,
Among the blOod-washed thrOngl
Fllfiy and open the pearly gates.

I'lliouch my harp with higher power,

II there was a set of politicians in
this country who had been ostracised

conceal the responsiveness of their
own political characters, would they
not endeavOr to put forth a candidate
for the Presidency TO represent them

in order that they might control all
the appointments and relieve him
from the censures and complaints o.

In order to relieve him entirely from
