THE NIGHT WAS STILL.

The night was still. the air was balm,
Soft dews around were weeping;
No whisper rose DER oceans calm,
Its waves in light were sleeping
With Mary on the beach streyed,
The stars beam d joys above me;
press'd her hand. and said, Sweet maid,
Oh | tell me do you love me ?"
With modest air she droopcd her head,
Her cheek Of beauty yelling;
Her bosom hcav'd no word She said
markd her strife Of feeling
"Oh speak my doom, dear maid" cried,
by yon bright heaven above thee;'
She gently raised her eyes, and sighed.
TOO well you know Hove thee"

A BEAU TIFuL PARAPHRAsE.-As IS we have got
into Sacred Poetry, we may MS well remark, as
an inexplicable curiosity, the intense badness
Of rhyme in most of the psalms and hymns used
in public and private worship. Watts, Yves.
ley, William Cowper, James Montgomery
Kirke White, and Thomas Moore, are almost
the only poets who, writing upon sacred sub.
jects, have adhered to rhyme, rs we'll as to
appropriateness of expression We have late.
Iy fallen upon something very different from
the usual poetcal paraphrases of Sacred Writ,
II is ycrsfcation Of the Lords Prayer-an
orson, the brevity and concentration Of which
onght to be lesson to those who indulge in
many words when they pour out prayer and
praise II has mtely been published in Lon,
don, is composed as duet, and harmonized for
four voices, with an accompaniment for the or.
gan or piano-forte. 1t runs thus
Our heavenly Father, hear our prayer;
Thy name be hallowed every where
Thy kingdom come; Thy perfect will
In earth, as heaven let all fulfill;
Give this days bread that we may live;
Forgive our sins rs we forgive
Help us temptation to Withstand,
From evil shield us by Thy hand;
Now and for ever unto Thee
The kingdom, power, and glory be. Amen.
Here nothing is redundant, nothing wanting.
The music sim pc and meodious, is said to b,
worthy of the words. The curious circumstan.

persons concerned keep their names concealed
The authors are "J. NJ" and wv. H." Th,
artist who has beautifully adorned the music,
is "R. T." The musical composer is "G. +

MISCELLANEOUS.
The Minister'S Dfuner.
BY LYDIA JANE PIERsON.

The Rev. Mr.. N was man of ex.
celent temper, generous feeling, and we'll
cultivated mind, but he was eccentric even
to oddity. He was powerful preacher
and his ministration was blest to the refor.
nation Of many in the parish. At the
age of thirty-four he became enamoured of
beautiful, ,light-hearted girl of seventeen,
daughter of one Of his richest Pensioners,
and who imagined that to refuse the hand
of the minister would be sin bordering
hard upon the objectionable. Well, the
marriage was consumated, the BRIDE, fat
portion paid /; and the husband, as hus-
bands in theirfrst love are apt to do, gave
in to the humor Of his wife, and accom-.
panied her to several festive parties, given
by his wealthy neighbors in honor of his
marriage. I
The happy couple were sitting together
in their comfortable parlor, one evening
toward spring, the reverened gentleman
studying the Venerable Bede, and his wife
equally intent upon q plate of the latest
fashions. when she suddenly looked up with
an expression between hope and fear, and
thus addressed her companion:
My dear husband, have request
to make"
"Well, Nancy, anything consistent"
"You do not imagine that I would
make an inconsistent request, surely2"
"No-not request that you consider
inconsistent. But come what is it ?"
"Why, my dear sir, and her voice trem.
bled little, we have been to several par.
ties among the neighboring gentry. and
now think that to maintain our position
in society we should make party, too"
The minister looked cold
"What SOFT Of party, Nancy r he
said at length. .,..,
why, such party as those VIC have
attended. We must make an elegant par
ty, and have dancing after it."
Dancing! in a minister's house !"
cried Mr.. N.
"Why. yes, certainly" replied his wife
coaxingy, You will not dance, the party
will be mine, and then we have been to
similar parties all winter" f.,.
True, true" he muttered with per-
picked air, and sat silent for some time as
L considering. At length he spoke.
Yes, Nancy, you may make party,
give dinner, and if the guests desire it,
you may dance"

POETRY.
Perseverance and Faith,

swallow in the spring
Came to our granary, and meath the eaves
Essayed to make a nest, and there did bring
Wet cnrth, and straw, and leaves.
Day after day she toed
With patient heart; but ere her work vas
crowned,
Some sad mshap the tiny fabric spoiled.
And dashed il 10 the ground.
She found the ruin wrought,
But not cast down, forth from the place she
flew;
And with her mate fresh earth and grasses
brought, e
And built her nest anew.
But scarcely had she placed
The last soft feather on its ample floor.
When wicked hand, or chance again laid wa.le,
And wrought the ruin DER.
But still her heart she kept,
And toiled again; and last night hearing calls,
looked, and 10 three little swallows slept
Within the earth-made walls.
What truth is here o man
Hath Hope been smi'ten in early dawn,
Hath cloud oercast thy purpose, trust, or plan,
Have FAITH, and struggle Oh
