a LITTLE CHI l. ID

The authorship of the following is attributed
with some degree of uncertainty, to I. Westwood.
1t is remarkable how many beautiful walls are
floating upon the sea of literature;
A little ek-cyed, quiet. village child,
Sat sinrinr by her cottage-door at eve,
A low, sweet Sabbath song. No human ear
Caught the faint melody no human eye
Bcheld the upturucd aspect or the smile
That wreathed her innocent lips the While they
breathed
The oft repeated burden of the hymn,
Praise God Praise God!
a sorOph 10y the throne
In full glory stood. With eager hand,
lie smotc the golden harpstring, till food
or harmony on the celestial air
Welled forth unceusing. There with great voice
He sang the Holy, holy cvermorc,
Lord God almighty : Aud the eternal courts
Thrilled with the rapture and the hicrarchics.
Angel, and rapt archangcl, thlohbed and burned
With vehement alteration.
Higher yet
Rose the majestic anthem, without pause,
Higher. with rich magniiicence OF sound,
oits fun strength and still the infinite heavens
Rang with the Holy, holy evetmore!
Till trembling with excessive awe and love
Each sceptcrcd spirit sank before the throne,
With mute hallclulah.
But even then,
While tho ccetatic song was 0t its hight,
stole in an alien voice voice that seemed
To float. float upward from some world afar--
A meek and childlike voice, rNnt, but how sweet,
That blended with the spnitS rushing strain,
Even rs u fountains muse, with the roll
OF the revcrbcratcd thunder.
Loving smiles
Ltup the beauty Of each ANGEL face
At that new utt"rance---sm'les Of joy that grew
More ioyous yet rs ever and anon
Was heard the simple lnuden al the hymn,
Praise Gcd, Praise GodH
And when the scrophs song
Had reached its close. and DER the golden Tyre
Silence hung brooding- the ecruol courts
Rang with the echoes of his chant sublime,
Still through the allowance, that wandering vo!ce
Came floating upward from its world oinr--
Still murmured sweet on the celestial ar,
Praise God Praise Cody

him into the fire with pitchforks, because hang

prit is under sentence lock aud key.
Then the compassionate, when jurors sign petit
tions for his pardon, and judges regret the sever
ity Of his sentcncc-when turnkeys praise his
scntlemanly manners, and clorgymen his repent
ant sprt-when boys obtain his autograph, and
women treasure up locks Of his hair. There are
the times that try the souls Of Governors And
then the contcmplations which if dead, sncer
over his coffin; if living, bids him 90 starye out
Of the way Of honest men, aud rails at that Exec

This is the history Of every murder case, from
Abel down TO Burdcll. The pnblic always hates
criminals before conviction, pities them when
convicted, and scorns them when set free. We
do not quarrel with human nature for its fickle
phases we must take il az il is But it shonld
