ing legend is narrated IN irving's
Life OF Muhomct:
"At tic age of three years, while
playing in the fields with his foster
brother Nasroud, two angels in shin.
ing apparel appeared before them.
They laid Mahomct gently upon the
ground, and Gabriel, one Of the angels,
opened his breast but without inilict-
ing any pain. Then taking forth bis
heart, he c!eanscd it from all inpurity.
wringing from it those bitter drops of
original sin, inherited from our fore
father Adam, and which had lurked in
the hearts Of the best Of his Icscen-
dants, melting them to crime. When
he had thoroughly purified il, he filed
it with faith, and knowledge, and
prophetic light, and replaced it in the
bosom Of the child.

Glorious summer! bright and fair
Are thy golden treasures;
Gifts thou bringest, rich and rare,
In o'erfowing measures;
Sparkling sunlight DER the sea,
Harvest waving on the lea,
Mellow fruit on bush and tree
These are but thy treasures.
Now the wild bees voice is heard
From the forest ringing;
Now the happy evening bird
Merrily is singing;
Gardens with their gorgeous flowers,
Blushing moons and moon-lit bowers,
Evenings soft and witching hours
Fondly thou art bringing.
Sweet thou oldest as stream
When it sparkles brightest,
Or youthful poets dream
When his heart is lightest,
All the hours for bliss were made;
But when twiight's gentle shade
Softly steals DER hill and glade,
Then thy joys are brightest.
Then are heard, in tones of glee,
Youthful voices greeting:
7r,.e.., ~----.l >, = .-4:-e tree"
Hands and lips are meeting;
Then the time for youth and love
Through the fragrant glen to rove,
Smiling still the moon above
On their bliss SO feeting.
Youth and love delight to 60
Hand in hand with summer,
Where the limpid waters flow
With the softest murmur;
None on earth so well agree,
When the heart is young and free,
As those happy spirits three,
Youth and love and summer.

The Death of the Rlghteous.

ne Death Of the Righteous.
o The MEMORY OF Mrs. E. Med.
Like the ripened grain,
In the Autumn time,
She hath passed way
To a purer cline;
And the reaper Death
Gave her heart no fear;
And the parting pang,
Caused no bitter tear.
For, the Sayiour's words
Bade her fears depart;
And his peaceful smile
Clieered her fainting heart;
Thus her hopes were bright,
And the steadfast eye
Of her faith, was strong,
When she came to die.
And calm as the sun
Seeks the golden West,
She sank to repose,
On her Saviour's breast;
And in glorious hope;
And in humble trust;
Gave to God, her soul,
And to dust, her dust.
Now, before the throne
OF the Lamb she stands,
Strikes a golden harp,
With immortal hands;
Wears the victor's crown,
With the white-robed tbrong;
And the chorus joins,
OF the ceaseless song. B.
