TIE HEAVENS BEFORE AND AFTER DAWN
had occasion, u few weeks since, to take t&A
early train from Providence to Boston, and for
this purpose rose at two o'clock in the morn
ing. 1t was mild, Screnc midsummer y night:
the sky was without cloud; the winds were
hushcd. The moon, then in the last quarter.
had just risen, and the stars shone with spec.
trail lustrc, but little affected by her presence.
Jupiter, two hours high, was the herald Of the
day; the Pleiades, just above the hoFisoa, shed
their sweet influence in the east; Lyra spar.
klcd near the zenith; Andromcda veiled her
newly discovered glorics from the naked eve in
the south; the steady pointers, far beneath the
pole, looked mcckly up from the north to their
sovereign. ~
Such was the glorious spectacle as entered
the train. As We proceeded, the timid an
proach of twilight became more perceptibls;
the intense blue of the sky began to soften
the smaller stars like little children, went first
to rest; the sistcr.bcams of the Pieiadcs soon
melted together; but the bright constellation
OF the west and north remained unchaugO6
Steadily, the wondrous TRANSPORTATION went On.
Hands Of angels hidden from mortal eyes shilt.
cd the scenery Of the heavens; the gloVies az
the night dissolved into the glories Of the dawn.
The blue sky now turned more softly gray; The
great watch stars shut up their holy eyeE the
east began to kindlc. Faint streals Of purple
soon blushed along the sky: tho whole csIes-
tial concave was filled with the intowinR tidss
Of tho morning light, which came p0urine
down from above in one great ocean Of rAak
ance, till at length, as we reached the Blue
Hills, flash Of purple FIRE blaxed out fom
above the horizon, and turned the dewy Ter
drops OF flower and leaf into diamonds GndsN-
bies. In few seconds the everlasting ~
of the morning were thrown wide open, ana
the lord of day, arrayed in glOrics too severe
for tho gaze Of man, began his state Edward
Ererett.

The Silent Girl.

She seldom spake; yet she impaired
Far more than language could
So bird.like, bright and tcndcr.hcarted,
So natural and good!
Her air, her look, her rest, her actions,
Were voice enough for her:
Why need d tongue, when those attractions
Our inmost hearts could stir?
She seldom talked, but, uninvited,
Would cheer us with II song;
And Oft her hands our ears delighted,
Sweeping the keys along.
And oft when converse round would languish,
Ask'd or unasked, she read
Some tale of gladncss or of anguish,
And so our evenings sped.
She seldom spakG; but she would listen
With all the signs Of soul
Her check would change, hcreyc would glistcn;
The sigh-thc snlle-upStolc.
Who did not understand and love her,
With meaning thus o'cr;lamglt?
Though silent as the sky above her,
Like that, she kndled thought.
Little she spake but dear attentions
From her would ccaselcss rise;
She checked our wants by kind preventOns,
She hush d the cllildrens cries;
And, Iwning, she would give her mother
A long and loving kiss
The same To father, sister, brother,
All rUand-nur would one miss.
She seldom spake.-she speaks no longer;
She sleeps beneath yOn rose;
'Tis well for us that ties no stronger
Awaken memnry's woes:
For oh our hearts would sure be broken,
Already drained Of tears,
Ii frequent tones, by her uutSrOkCn,
Still fingered in our ears.

couNTRY-Avay but Wrong Country
Hymn Of Nature.

God Of the earth's extended plains!
The dark, green fields cOntented lie;
The mountains rise like holy towers,
Where man might commune with the sky;
The tall cliff challenges the storm
That lowers upon the vale below,
Where shaded fountains send their streams,
With joyous music in their flow.
God Of the dark and heavy deepI
The waves lie sleeping ON the sands,
Till the fierce trumpet Uf the storm
Hath summOnd up their laundering bands
Then the white sails are dash'd like foam,
Or hurry, trembling, DER the seas.
Till. calm'd by thee, the sinking gale
Serenely breathes, Depart in peace.
God of the forests solemn shade.
The grandeur of the lonely Tree,
That wrcstles singly with the gale,
Lifts up admiriDg eyes to thee;
But more majestic far they stand,
When, side by side, their ranks they form,
To wave on high their plumeS VI green,
And fight their battles with the storm.
God Of the light and viewless air!
Where summer breezes sweetly flow,
Or, gathering in their angry might,
The fierce and wintry tempests blow;
All-frOm the evenings plAintive sigh,
That hardly hfts the dFeeping A0weF,
To the wild whirlwinds midnight cry,
Breathe forth the language Of thy power.
God Of the fair and open sky!
How gloriOusly above US springs
The tented dome, of heavenly blue,
Suspended on the rainbows rings
Each brilliant star, that sParkles through,
Each gilded cloud, that wanders free
In evenings purple radiance, gives
The beauty of its praise to thee.
God Of the rolling orbs above!
Thy name is written clearly bright
In the warm days unvarying blaze,
Or evenings golden shower Of light.
For every FIRE that fronts the sun,
And every spark that walks alone
Around the utmost verge Of heaven,
Were kindled at thy burning throne.
God Of the world the hour must come,
And natures self to dust return;
Her crunlbling altars must decay;
Her incense fires shall cease to burn;
But still her grand and lovely scenes
Have made mans warrnrSt praises flow;
For hearts grow holer as they truce
The beauty Of the world below.
