glorye And, finally, why is it, that bright
forms of human beauty are presented to
our view and then taken from us-leavinp
the thousand streams of our affections to
flow back in an Alpine torrent upon our
heartsa We are born for higher destiny

where the rainbow never fades, where the
stars will be spread out before us like the
Islands that s!umber on the ocean, and
where the beautiful beings, which here
pass before us like visions, will stay in our

sometimes with me. In the mysterious
silence Of midnight, when the streams are
glowing in tile light Of the many stars,
tina, image comes floating upon the beam,
that fingers around my pillow, and stands
before me in its pale dim Iovelness, Till its

heaven upon my thoughts, and the grief
of years is turned to dreams Of blessed

ENGLISH STATESMEN FROM A RELIGIOUS
POINT OF VIEW.

A London correspondent Of the Puritan
Recorder makes the following interesting
statement con cerning the public men Of
Great Britain:
Whether it is 10 be attributed to the sre
vivar spirit that prevails amongst US, 7 can
not say but it is IL delightful and encour-
aging fact that manitestily improved feel
ing in regard to matters on religion, has
taken possession Of the minds Of some of
our chief political and other public men.
l. was very great novelty at one time of
the day with us, to fiud Judge, leading
member Of the bar, minister of State, or
even popular representative, who was
prepared 10 take prominent, or, indeed,
any part in religious meeting; and the
very few that were not wholly deferred
from SO doing used to be Knocked at as odd
women, or spoken Of as 'di,gracefully un-
PROFESSIONAL But, have said, whole
some change has been silently wrought,
and day after day the secular Journals report
devout speeches, ringing with the true Cos
pei sound from the Lord Chancellor Of Eng.
land, the chancellor of the Exchequer, the
Lord Mayor of London, the city Cham
berIain, Vice Chancellor, the Attorney
General, the common Sergeant, the popu-
lar memter for the largest constituency in
the lane, and a host of other represen-
tatives Of the people. Only within tile
last week we have had Mr.. Gladstone. the
Chancellor Of the Exchequer. who, if he lives

Terror indescribable took POSSESSION of the
assnilarts, md they ,etrealed towards their
boats, scarcely daring to look back upon
! the fatal spot; while they were followed
by their allies in sullen silence. s !;
If this gallant defence deserves the ap.
piause of the brave, the subsequent con-
duct Of the besieged deserv es the praise oi

which now ensued deserves to be demon.
mated sublime. The little band, forget.
ting in moment that they had been as:
sailed by merciless foes, who sought to
massacre them, without regarding the laws
of honorable war, now felt only the desire
of relieving wounded men, and Of admin
istering comfnrt to the wretched. Had
they been friends, had they been brothers,
they could not have experienced II more
tender soicitude. The whole night wa.
occupied in endeavoring to assuage their
sufferngs ; provisions and buckets of wa.
ter were handed over the picke,s, and an
opening WINS made, by which many Of the
sufferers were t. ken in, who were imme-
diately supplied with surgical aid; aud
this. although a firing was kept up with
small arms by the enemy until some time
in the night. The loss of the garrison
amounted to one killed aud seven wounded

found i'll and about the ditch. It was dis
covered next morning, that the enemy had
hastily ret:ested, leaving boat and con:

A curious trial was recently held at Mid

Newton, and her sister, who had come from

jokingly observed that she had promised
her sweetheart that no man should kiss
her while absent.
It being holiday time, savsrland con-
sdered this as a challenge, and caught
hold of her and kissed her,
