Being so roughly disturbed from its'

was near its head, maintaine his position.

There are several considerations to be
observed in the selection Of husband.

Remarkable Geological Formation.

BY GEORGE n. BOXER.

As Moses stood upon the flaming hill,
With all the people gathered at his feet
Waiting in Sinai's valley, there to meet
The awful bearer of Jehovah's will, .s. .
So, Grant thou stand'st amidst the trumpets
'shrill, '...H' tfE
And the wild, ferry storms that flash and beat
In iron thunder and in leaden sleet,
Topmost of all, and most exposed to Ill.
D, stand thou firm, great leader of our race,
Hope of our future, till the times grow bland,
And into ashes drops Wars dying brand;
Then let us see thee, with benignant grace,
Descend thy hight, Gods glory in thy face,
I And the Lords tables safe within thy hand!
