trod the hallowed ground that bore
A Christian temple tall aud proud,
When at each wide and lofty door
Went streaming in a gorgeous crowd
A welcome day bid aIl'rejoice-
A fair and ancient festival,
Aud the glad organs mighty voice
Shook the strong roof and Gothic wall.
Full many token marked the fold
Where rich and high believers meet,
The sacred volume cla-ped in gold,
The costly robe, and drowsy seat
Priest, people, alter, chancel, choir,
Arch, column, window, porch, and gale
1ha, ample fame, from vault 10 spire,
Looked solemn all and calmly great
But mark An old and weary man,
stranger clad "ir raiment vile"
With failing step and features wan,
Went tottering up The fair broad aisle =
They cast hGm ont out oh, faithess race
On some rude -uuscun-remoie
Convicted in th0i hour and place
OF leau purse and lhreadbare coat
Yes and if He, who saved the lost,
Stood fainting on i'a' naughty floor,
Arrayed in weeds u lille cost,
Meek as He sough, our world before
In spite Of words which none might blame
And works OF goodness freely done,
That sordid post of wrong and shame
Would greet JEHovAn's ONLY Son.
Oh for PROPHETS tongue or pen
To warn the great in wealth and birth,
Who build their God house, and then
Plant there-the meanest pomps of earth
To brand that church which spurns the poo
From every vain and venal pew,
Where ''cloIhed in purple" herd sccsre
To kneel or sleep-lhe lordly few
Give me the shed, low, bare, and plain,
Where love and humble truth abide,
Rather than carth's most noble fame,
Def!ed by selfish pomp and pride:
Give me the damp and deser, sod
Walled in by dark old forest trees,
Rooted over by the skies of God
Bat perish temples such as these

A PICTURE OF MACAULEY.

A London correspondent of the Inverness
courier describes Macauley, the historian, as
short, stout, sturdy, energetic man, with
big round face, large, staring, and very bright
hazel eyes His hair is cut short, and his
| hat flung back on the crown of his head
His gait is firm and decided, with a little
touch of pomposIty. He is ever provided
| with an umbrella which he swings and Hour
ishes, and battcrs on the pavement with
mighty ihumps. He seems generally absorb.
ed In exciting and impusive thought the
traces Of which he takes no pains 10 conceal.
HIS face works, his lips move and mu,tet,
his eyes gleam and flash. He is evidently
under the influence of the strong excitement
of fiery thought. People gaze curously at
him, and stop 10 stare when he has passed
but on he goes needing no one. The writer
says
lIiend of mine lately recognized him
dining in the cof1ee-toom of the Trafalgar
Hotel, at Greenwich a fashionable whiiebait
house, which it appears he frequently pairon-
lses. lie was alone, as he generally is, and
the attention Of more than one of the compa-
ny was attracted by his peculiar mut,erns
and fidgeiiiness, and by the mute gestures
with which he ever and anon illustrated his
mental dreamings. All at once-it must
have been towards the climax of the prose
or verse which he was working up in his
mind-Mr. Macauley seized massive de-
caner, held it moment suspended in the
air, and then dashed it down upon the table
with such hearty goodwill that the solid
crystal flew about in fragments, while the
numerous parties dining round instinctively
started up and stared at the curious icono.
clasl. Not whit put out, however, MIR. Ma
cauley, who was well known to the walters,
called loudly FOR his bill TO be made out at
the bar, and then pulling, with a couple Of
! Jerks, his hat and his umbrella from the
stand; clapped the one carelessly on his head,
and strobe out flourishing the olher.
1t is announced that Macahey has COM

England, and that they will be published the
coming autumn simultaneously by Longman
