The Good NInn's Denth.

The good mans time to die at length arrives;
Burdened with many years AMI ripe for dath,
Cam'y he waits the Messengers approach,
To bear him to his final resting place.
Long has he lahOred in the Fl lids of earth
Long batted with the enemy Of souls,
And long stood nobly in the d,f,ncc of Truth
Sunshine aud clouds betimes have overspreai
His path, and sorrow in his cup of ltei
OFT int,rmmged with holy joy,
Affections keenest darts he oft hath felt,
And felt as oft their deep and painful wounds,
Eascd or removed by speedy application
To the bleSt fountain ol a Saviour's love.
But all his tolls are DER and God, his God,
His Father, and his Friend, hath summoned him
Above, to tull enjoyment of that rich
Inheritance, provided by himself,
recompense to those who faithful prove,
No stings of conscience now asSail his breast
No sad reflections on misspent life,
Like CORY phantoms wander through his brain,
Torture his aching bosom, and disturb
The heeting moments of his dying hour,
No dark lorebodings of an angry God
Shrouded in htful clouds of pending wrath,
Or doubts and fears OF what exists beyond
The vale Of death, torment his soul with pain,
Death has no sting, the grave no gloom for him
But nearer rs he draws towards his end,
While deaths dark shadows disappear from view,
And Hoavcn's surprising grandeur meets his gaze,
Sweet angel voices burst upon his ear,
And antedate the full seraphio swell
or sounds celestial which sh II greet his spirits
Joyous entrance through the paarly portals
OF the upper Skies and smiles of heavenly
Brightness play across his placid brow,
As brilliant flashes from the diadems
OF glory sparkle past his ravished vision,
Stamping upon his face the joy his lips
Refuse to tell. But now the end has come
The pulse has ceased its tedious throbbmg
And the golden cord which bound the immortal
Spirit to Its clayey coil has yielded
To the weary strain of life. The vital
Current now hath ceased to leap In buoyaut
Measures through its dark my y,terinus pathway
While the glad occupant of the frail frame,
Fully assured Of duties all performed
And trusting in the promise of his lord,
Steps boldly down into the stream OF death,
And drops into the bosom of his God

AN ENGLISH SCARE.-An absurd letter in the
London Times, detailing warlike preparations in
California for the purpose Of capturing the bleak
region known as British Columbia, seems to have
alarmed our very good friends in the island king
dom. William Howard Russell, editor of the
Army and Navy Gazette, ventures to perpetrate
the following:
California, with all the energy of rowdyism,
burning with lust of her neighbours gold, seems
though she minded to go to war on her
own account, aud under pretext of protecting
her ports, which are menaced by no one, is pre-.
pairing asylums for marauding expeditions. is
difficult TO perceive how the American Govern.
meIt is to deal with these indications Of spirit
Of violent aggrandlzement aud outrage on nen.
tral Powers, which are developed just at present
by this war fever in the Yankee brain.
Can this be the result of ignorance? Or is it
the malicious invention Of one who desires to
stir up strife? Nothing could be more destitute
Of truth and sense, says the Sacramento Union
than this statement and the assertions of the
London Times concerning California. Probably
excuse is wanted for increasing the British
fleet in the Pacific.

THE DEVIL attempted a sharp thing on Christ,

1t was, by the light we have, somewhat bare

that they hadn't any title, and certainly charge
able with the knowledge that the loyal North
would tight till doomsdny rather than allow the
