The Sabbath.

The rest of the Sabbath is necessary, after
the engagement of the week, as issthe nights
rest after the work of the day. TO the one
we 90 instnctively, forced by fatigue 1t is
well if we observe the other, impelled by NOR
al considerations, before suffering the penalty
attached to its violation, of which no instinct
gives us warning After six days of labor
our strained muscles need season TO renew
their elasticity--our irritable nerves to recov-
er their moral state-our fret,ed spirits to re-
sumo their equanimiy. A simple change of
necessary labor docs great deal; The entire
cessation of all that is unnecessary does still
more. The fitting devotional exercises of the
day are calming and soothing, and productive
of the healthy state of mind with which it is
desirable to enter upon the duties of the sue
ceeding days. The influence of the Sabbath
on the weeks tumultuous cares is like oil
poured on a stormy sea. Stretched out over
the hurrying crowd of daily engagements,
like the rod ot the Prophet over the Red Sea
it Hes the waves up on either side, and
we pass through them dry shod.
"Oh day, most calm. most bright,
The fruit of this, the next worlds bud,
The endorsement Of supreme delight,
Writ by friend and with his blood;
The couch Of time; cares balm and bay
The week were dark but for the light,
This Torch throws Ger the way"

IRUndatiOn Of the Nile.

Recent news from Egypt state that the Nile
has this year risen higher than it has during
the last twenty years Almost the entire
valley OF Egypt is one sheet Of water, and
travellers proceed to the pyramids in boats, an
excursion which, in ordinary times, occupies a
three hours ride from Ghiz h, the nearest
po'nt on the river The damage done 10 the
crops, by this excess Of water, is very great.
and very extensive tracts OF land sown with
Indian corn are covered with from thr to
five feet of water, and the plants are conse-
qucntly destroyed The villages and towns
are reduced to islands. and are only saved by
the inhabitants raising embankments all round
which they watch day and night with the
greatest anxiety The FeIlahs will severely
feel the loss of their crops of Indian corn as
it forms their principal article OF food during
the Winter Owing to this deficiency, and
the demand for grain from Turkey, the Vice
roy is not acting unwisely in limiting the ex
portation of corn.-1rthur's Home Gazette.

The morning thro ugh the lattice fell,
The mornings glimmer slowly;
il lii little dying face.
With light both calm and holy.
Then as cound lis shadow gray
Just cast, ye scarce knew whether
The chiId's last smile, or sunny ray,
Went first, or both together
The small gray cloud was swift in fight,
Not so mothers sorrow;
Size knew no ray nor smile would light
Her dead child's face tomorrow.
They took little gentle Annie away;
To sun-bright lea they bore her;
For they knew where the lambs came out to play
The dAsies would cluster o'er her:
Yet empty stood Que little chair
For months in that lonely dwelling,
And mother wild looked watching there,
At last, like a wsl-known step, there Sc emed
A sound by the lattice lonely,
One night when braided in mist there cleaned
The belt Of Orion only;
The door jar; then soft and fair,
Meath the purple Night above her,
Shone Annes eyes and her golden hlr,
And the smile that made all 10 love her.
With step still she glided in
With a " ice so sweelly broken:
80 mother dear mother, such grief is sin;
Behold, Of thy tears, the tokeu!'
She looked: twas goblet Of crystal glass,
In her child's pure hand twas glowing:
% mother, tits filled with thy tears alas,
One drop: it were ever flowing.
'Oue drop! then no rest in the grave were mine,
No JOY where my spirit would hasten;
For the God we serve loves the heart divine,
That blesses the griefs that chasten!'
1t vanished; then softly and sweety bright,
Game a strain as from angels given;
And she saw, where star had shot its trackway
orIjgit,
Little Annie had gone to heaven!

The following stanzas are from recent
poem Of LoNGFELLow's entitled
" Phantoms," and published in Putnam for
December:
The spirit world around this world of sense
Floats Ike an atmosphere, and everywhere,
Watts through the earthly msts and vapors dense
A vital breath of more ethereal air.
Our little lives are kept in eqniposc
By opposite attractions aud desires;
The struggle OF the instinct that enjoys,
Aud the more noble instinct that aspires.
The perturbations, the perpetual jar
or earthly wants and aspirations high,
Come from the influence Of that unseen star
That undiscovered planet in our sky.
And as the moon, from some dark gate of cloud,
Throws Ger the sea a floating bridge of light,
Across whose trembling planks our fancics crowd
Into the realm of myst'ry and night;
So from the world OF spirits there descends
bridge Of light connecting i, with this,
O'er whose unsteady floor. that swsys and bends,
Wander our thoughts above dark abyss.
