POETICAL.
80 So
From the Western Christian Advocate.
The Widow and Her Only Son.


THE following is from the pen Of the son
Of the late William M'Lean, OF this city,
md brother of Judge M'Lean. His good
mother, still with us, will see that her pray
rs are yet effective for her son. Other
mothers will be encouraged to pray: and
et all sons love and honor their mothers
DEAREST mother see thee now,
Thought am far away;
In humble prayer | watch thee bow:
Ilist--for me you pray.
All me! how strong must be that tie,
Which binds thee to thy son:
My loving ear. i. caught thy sigh
Before twas scarce begun.
And thus it is hear you pray; g..
o, God! my child protect,
To heav'n point out the happy way.
His footsteps e'er direct:
See that his heart is ne'er beguiled,
His mind with wisdom store:
My only son. make him thy child,
For him, ask no more.
Thus the Christian widow prays:
He child the prayer hears though,
And as the mother amen says,
The son says amen too:
That son is moved, and as he feels
The tears flow from his eyes.
In contrite prayer he kneels,
To let his voice arise.
Heavenly Father! since thou art
The widows God and friend,
pray make glad my mothers heart,
To her thine aid extend;
Draw near, o God! and tell her thus
am the Christians guide.
So trust in me, and ever thus
III walk close by thy side.
To comfort thee in thy old age,
! will thy guardian be;
: For in thy youth, thou didst engage
To love and worship me; #a.ts
So very faithful ha st thou proved.
To keep thy early VOW, t
The God thou hast SO truly loved,
Will give protection now. 90"
And when my mother asks of Thee
A blessing for her child.
Then say TO her, that you will be
A Father to that child;
And grant that when we come to die
To both of us be given 49,. ....
A happy home hey ond the sky:
That we may meet in heaven!

The Grandeur of a Man.

How great the solemnity and the dig
nifty of the individual life! Granted the
lisileness of man. the brevity Of his per,
sonsl sojourn, The limitation Of both his
sphere and knowledge; We. here is stu
pendous lasgeness impressed upon him.
He openshis bosom to the influences tina.
are coming down from generations past,
and hardly has he received them, ere he
steps into the stream, adding his own
power, and floating onward into the
boundless futures recipient of what
has preceded him--an agent of what
follows---a sransition-poin,, where effects
acquire the properties of a cause. Thus
all humanity is linked TO the past, and
linked 10 the furture-so linked that no
one lives to himself, and no one dies to
himself. The pastis ours as we are az
footed by il; the future. ours as we shall
shape il: and the present, the great moral
eddy where these two ideas meet, deriy-
Ing its main Significance from what has
been and what will be.
The incumbent of duty, the FRIEND of
God and man, the philan,hropisi and the
Christian, may regale his soul with the
pleasing thought Of being SO bound to
his species, tina. in living one life he will
a thousand. and that his existence in its
benign effect will be deposited in the
bosom of unborn generations. Who
would not be man, especially one rising
TO the enviable privilege of making a
great and good impression upon his
species! What glory surrounds the
existence of some nenl When we
;hink Of them in their true relations.
they seem TO be tutored angels sent to
earth TO touch moral notes, the melody
Of which viii last forever. To be man,
gifted with sphere Of vir,uous action,
allied with the totally of the race, bear
ing the stamp Of Immortality, and float
ing in s.ream Of eternal consequences,
this indeed is lofty eminence Of being.
Let not such creature make himself
less than he is. If he can write to the
profit of mankind, then let him WELD the
pen; if he can preach. let him sound out
the word of the Lord: ifgreat plans are
projected for the worlds conversion;,hen
let him be their earnest patron: lie, him
put himself in harmony with God. and
the best interest of his species; and he
will not have lived in vain. A prolonQ-
