Intcrcst i'm Heaven.

1t Is an unspea kable delight to learn from the
lips of God that, though Christians rest from their
labors, when they leave this word, their works
do follow thein--lot, indeed the toll aud trouble
of them; but the principles and results, the re-
ward and glory Of them; and perhaps, continued
practical connection with them, as well joyful

feels no interest in MASSACHUSETTS,. Roger Will

some may say Surely geographical divisions aud

then? Let us rise higher. Let rs contemplate
the systems of religion and civilization with which
their names are identified. Think you that Brews-
ter feels no interest in independence? w lams,
no interest in immersion? Penn, no interest III
Quakerism? Washington, no interest in COM
merce? But il may again be objected Surely
these systems do not follow them there. What
then? Let us rise still higher, and consider the
principles with which their names are identified.
Think you that Brewster feels no interest in tn
liberty Of the church? iilliams, no interest IN
the liberty of conscience? Penn, no interest in
the liberty of the spirit? Washington, no inter-
est in the liberty of the nation? and Columbus,
no interest ia the liberty Of the world Ay verify

Among the=beautifnl pictures
That hang on Memory's wall, a
Is one of dim old forest, ..ss
That seemeth best Of all:
Not for its gnarled oaks o'den,
Dark wf,h the mistletoe;
Not for the violets golden
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the milk white lilies
That lean from the fragrant htdg,,
Coqueting all diy With the sunbeams,
And steal ng their shining edge;
Not for the vines on the upland
Where the b igat red berries be,
Nor the pinks, nor the pale, ,sweet cowslip,
Itseemeth the best to me.
! once had little brother,
With eyes that were dark and deep
In the lap of that old dim forest
He heth in peace asleen:
Light as the down of the thistle,
81 Free as the wi ds that blow,
We roved there the beautiful summers,
The summers of long ago;
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
And one of the summer ewes,
I made for my little brother
A bed Of the yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
NJ neck in q meek embrace, Z
As the light Of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face:
And when the arrows Of sunset
Lodged in the tree-tops bright,
He fell in his saint-like beauty. So
Asleep by the gates of light. ss.
Therefore of all the pictures
That hang on Memory's wal,
The one of the old dim forest
Seemeth the best of all. es eeez
