Corbaley, aged three years and six months
The deceased was very promising little
bow. but he is gone from the evil to come.
The fond hopes Of his parents were
soon blasted by the relentless hand oil
death. We deeply sympathise with them
on account of their bereavem eht. Such
circumstances as this should be solemn
warning Go us who are living to pre-
pare to meet our Judge. The friends
have the comforta Bile hope OF one day meet
ing little Jeremiah where sickness. sor-
row. psin and death ere feared and felt no
more, for the Scripture teaches Tin rela-
zion TO children) "that of such is the
Kingdom Heaven"
A lovely infant sleeps in death,
How beautiful and fair:
Yes even now. though void of breath,
Gods impress still is there.
Hope looks beyond the bounds of time
When what we now deplore
Shall rise in full, immortal frame,
And bloom TO fade NO more.

Temples not made With Hands.

Ills not in temples made with hands
The great Creator dwels,
But on he mountain top he stands
Aud in the lonely deIls;
Wherever fervent prayer IS ard,
He stands, recording every word.
In delIs on mnnniaius every where
He never fails 10 answer prayer
Yes-in the poor mans lowly stall,
And IN the sners' cells,
And in The rich mans lordly nall,
The great Creator dwells
Where two or thee are joined in prayer,
His audience Hail His House is there;
Wherever prays the child of grace,
Is His peculiar ,iweiling-place.
Think you that temples bull, Of stone,
Aud blessed by prips,ly hand,
Are more peculiarly His own,
More reverence demand
Go TO thy closest Shut the door,
Aud all thy mercies ponder o'er;
This all-pprvadiug God is there
He loves TO answer secret prayer.
The temple thy Creator owns,
That temple is The heait
No towering pile OF costly stones,
Nor any work OF art;
The cloud.cap'd spire that points on high,
May draw the lightning from the sky,
But Ills The humble, modes, flower,
That drinks in the refreshing shower;
And in return for favor given,
1t brealhes its fragrance back TO Heaven.
Some cling TO Prelate's surplice strings;
We how TO no created thugs:
One God we worship; one alone;
Earth is His lou,sool--Hearen His throne.
