Oh! have looked from craggy peaks. s,
s Ont DER the worlds wide expanse:
I have stood where the hurricane speaks.
And the winds in their fury dance; -
Where summer suns gid eternal SHOWS,
& And winter an ice-wreath winds; 7g =
Where norght but the mountain pine doth
gr0ws
And The broom chaplet twines,
I have stood mid Oceans fercest rage,
When the tempest grandly spoke,
Where elements did Wild war rage,
And ali Nature loose had broke.
1 have seen its surface. calm and soft, -
Mirror back the tropics sun,
When the golden blazonry aloft
! Made the waves laugh as they ran.
Whore fair England's yerdant wales are
spread,
With wealth of lawn and lea;
Where Scosland's mountain burns, ,o'er rocky
bed,
On are flowing to the sea;
Where sunny hills of France are beading
With purple fruit all blushing;
Where New England's autumn hues are
blending,
And Northern lakes are rushing.
I have seen them all: but give to me
Our glorious Western land
Its rolling. wide and yerdant prairie,
Thatreaches far on every hand
It's ravines, bluffs, and timbered creeks,
Its skies and seasons fair;
The land where God in His glory speaks,
And fills with beauty rare.

A New Year Welcome.
By z. J. HINTON.

Hark. how the voice Of the youngiing year,
With cheering chime rings abroad;
Hsrk, to the wall Of the olden year,
As its life goes back to God.
The stars look down with brighter gleaD
Far over the frozen earth.
While angels with loving smile do seem
To watch DER the newer birth, fi 80
That conueth cfownd with mystic flowers,
From far-off dream-land brought
f.JIo,hed with the sheen of hopeful hours,
And gemsby joy inxrOught.
wildly the wintry blast is signing
surging with titful moan;
waiting out Ger the hours now dying,
Breathing fast their last faint moan.
Let it gol Old year Of war and wocl
With its months of shame and sin;
All, cover its form with shroud Of snow,
As the new born soul comes in.
Farewell! Farewell ! SO stained with crime,
With foul Expressions breath,
That amid the eircling years of Time,
Mankind marks thee Year Of Death!
We greet thee, bright NewYear, coming now,
Like virgin, pure and sweet;
Fairest blossom on the futures brow,
We haste thy fragrance to meet.
Coming lightly with wealth of love,
And mine of bliss unwrought;
Bringing peace. and hope, and smiles above,
And rich lessons yet untaught.
The clouds unveil-the lustrous light,
Drape all with glorious hue.
So fades the past, and the future bright,
Shines with holy radiance, too.
Lawrence, New Years Eve, 1856.
