Fresh glides the brook, and blows the gale.
Yet yonder halts the quiet mill
The whirling wheel, the rushing sail,
How motionless and still
Six days of toll, poor child of Cain,
Thy seventh the slave of Want may be,
Thy seventh thy limbs escape the chain
4 God hath made thee free!
All, tender was the law that gave
This holy respite to thy breast;
To breathe the gale, to watch the wave,
And know-the wheel may rest!
But where the waves the gentlest glide,
What image charms to lift thine eyes =?
The spire reflected on the tide,
Invites thee to the skies.
To teach the soul its nobler worth.
This rest from mortal toll is given
Go, snatch the brief reprieye from earth
And paSs-a guest to Heaven.
They tell thee. in their dreaming school,
OF power from old dominion hurled,
When rich and poor, with juster rule,
Shall share the altered world
Alas since time itself began,
That fable hath but fooled the hour;
Each age that ripens power in man,
But subjects man TO power.
Yet on one day in seven, at least,
One bright republic shall be known;
Mans world awhile hath surely ceased,
When God proclaims his own!
SIX days may rank divide the poor,
Oh, Dives, from the banquet hail
The seventh, the Father opes the door,
And holds his feast for all

THE REPROOF.

Whisper il softly,
When nobody's near,
Let not those accents
Fall harsh on the ear,
She is blossom
Too tender and frail,
For the keen blast
The pittiless gale.
Whisper it gently,
Twill cost thee no pain;
Gentle words rarely
Are spoken in vain;
Threats and rcproaches
The stubborn may move
Noble and conquest
Aided by love.
Whisper it kindly,
Twill pay thee to know
Penitent tear drops
Down her checks flow.
Has she from virtue
Wandered astray?
Guide her feet gently,
Rough is the way.
She has no parent,
None of her kin
Lead her from error,
Keep her from sin.
Does she lean on thccg
Cherish the trust;-
God to the mcrciful
Ever is just.

we think we may safely venture to say,
without the Home Journal, which,, besides
being n chronicle Of the times, abounds in
intelligence designed to cnliven an Ameri-
can Home. Its editors Geo. p. Morris and
N. p. Willis) devote their entire time, skill
and experience, to the task of giving each
week, everything worth knowing. They
particularly keep an eye on all the whims
aud novelties Of the day. The utmost pains
are taken to present the facts and outlines
of all news. In the literary department.
we aim ut sketches and readable criticism,
and in our condensations of the productions
of the vast newspaper world of Europe, we
cndenvor to avoid the tircsOmc and the 10
cal. and transfer to our columns the pick of
English information and briliancy, while
we cndeavor to select with true sense of
pure morals, true wit, and genuine humOr.
In addition to the above, we have made new
arrangements for feature that is always
