A Ram mble---Pu ublishea by Request,

1t was night, and softly the breeses were blowing
Not sound on their bosom they bore;
When they passed where the snootkiln was flowing,
And lonely straying alone on the shore.
The moon gaily beamed, not cloud was 70 cover:
| The face Of creation seemed mantled in peace,
The spirit of sumber Ger all seemed to hover,
From toll and from trouble to give release
Savc the nghtbird that sung 40 it new DER the plain
Aud the insects that joined in the soft serenade;
And lonely straying to list to their strain,
And view where in childhood fondly had played.
Delighted gazed on the owpassing stream,
And culled the fair flowers to fling on the wave;
And as thus delighted gazed on tho scene.
Full scope and full freedom to fancy gave.
Oh! how delighted when years should have rounded,
The period Of boyhood to man should arrive;
And I, by the friends Of my youth bSsurrvunded,
That to feeling and friendship forever would i've.
Then racing with fancy clasped every comrads.

And thought that 'twould bs ~ It ever had bssa.
Then rose the Great Spirit that governs all time,
And lifted the veil on futuritie's urn;
And said youngest wanton thvu art now in thy prime
Ten summers unnotced have over thee rum"
Delighted started and tread on the plain,
Fondly cxulting how happy I'd be-;
When with my comrades should ramble again,
Doomed nothing but pleasure and gayness to see.
The first ono I came to. accosted hght.hearted,

And nothing like friendship id 1t could see;
And from me he turned with bow that was low,
And loudly exclaimed, "Miscreant, talk not to mel"

And no lonely thought e'er pervaded bEeast
That enmity DER IL should ever have power.
But scornul their air and disdainful their looks,
When bowed to those loved ones 90 humbly low;
A farewell forever they haughtily took,

within the province Of his mission to over

establish ner ones. Kings aud peoples
were his enemies, and the enemies of the
principles h. promulgated. Aided by a
few poor and ignorant fishermen Of Gatilec,
he fought the greatest battle Of time, aud
his power was greater than that Of all the
armies Of the earth. Kingdoms melted
away before his influence, and though ages
have elapsed, to day his words are nigh.

forged.
For eighteen centuries men have had this
wonderful example before them, and still
they doubt the efficacy Of the divine phi,os

not their method. Still they would CONVEX,
and revolutionize the world, not by the
irresistible power Of justice, truth and
mercy, but through the exercise of brute
force. Christ taught that nations might
De conquered, reformed and protected
through moral influences. Man teaches
that nations must be conquered, reformed
and protected by legal murder. Chris,
banished oppression by appeals to the con.
sciences and the reason Of men. Govern

ministers Of Christ approve the plan of

and that the world is wrong. Yet, il VIZ
