| Oh, City of Praise by the oSean,
The Lord sure hath planted thee here,
| Where his spirit, like dew on devotion,
Shall hallow each altar of prayer.
And here, while the dews Of the even
Distil DER the dry, thirsty soil;
May thy Spirit, o Father, from heaven,
Refresh those who weary in toll.
An emblem of love is before US,
Whose bright waves majestically roll;
Like the blessings that break sweetly DER us,
And always bring peace to the soul.
Then what place could be more betting,
A work that is wholly divine;
All nature seems ready, and waiting,
In songs of salvation to join.
For, ere the full dawn of the morning,
Is oft heard the soft silver lays;
In the grove the birds sweet song ascending,
Invite us to join them in praise:
Then, COME from the vale or the mountain,
The Saviour invites all To come.
And drink from LIES pure crystal fountain,
That flows from the heavenly throne.
Come, Lord crown this place 18th thy blessing,
And shield from temptations around,
Thy people, who Christ's love protesting,
That grace more In them may abound:
Wen here tell the same blessed story,
So many have learned long before,
The song OF redemption and glory,
They sing now on heavens bright shore
May news of this Joyful salvation
Be borne 'er the ocean abroad,
And bear to some far remote nation
A message ofmercy from God.
And we the ensign will keep flying
Our NOTE, the cross and the crown,
And pardon and peace to the dying,
Through Jesus, till glory is won.

The FouRrn.-Friday next is the 9th ap.
niversary of tho declaration of the Indepen
dence # the United States. Instead of thirteen
little colonies with population Of two or three
million of people, there are to-day thirty six
great states, with abont forty million of inhabi-
tants The change indeed has been great one
Forests have been cleared away, cities built,
railroads made, telegraph lines constructed aud
improvements introduced that even the wisest
little dreamed of century ago. The progress
made i'll material wealth, and greatness is truly
astounding. There has also been advance
ment III other respects. Neither can we be-
iieve that the people are less patriotic than i'll
the early days of til, Republic. The wars we
have passed through, and the victories we have
won, prove this There was as much selfish
ness proporionaidly in 1916 as there is at the
present time. Wealth develops corruption, but
the great mass of our people are honest, patrio-
tic and virtuous, and will ever remain SO, The
corrip: may injure but they cannot destroy the
Republic. Amy attempt to subvernt our nsti-
buttons will result in the overthrow and ruins of
those making t,ust as certainly as the forces the
Union triumphed In the recent rebellion Since
slavery has disappeared there is no rock of suf.
icient magnitude to CRIPPLE much less destroy
our good old ship of State. The slight distur-
Dances in the South are gradually disappearing,
and the Union to-day is stronger than ever.

DIED

Suddsnly, in Philadelphia on Saturday, june
2stb, Sallie J. Comegvs, beloved wife Of Jane:
T. Comegys and daughter of james l.. and Jane
A. Cox, in the S0th year of hnr age.
On the 2sth OF June, John Marsh, in the 18th
year of his age.
Lines composed on the death of Charles Bid
die, who departed this life on the 9th day Of
June, A. d. 1873, aged 25 years, 8 months, 16
days.
o. where Is he, each scene remains
Where oft at blushng morn he stood,
The warblng birds In tuneful strains
Still carol from the wood he loved,
The softening shades of eve descend,
Around the hearth lis kindred meet,
How oft they mourn the gentle friend,
Who once enjoyed that converse sweet.
Say, need we ask-in yon blue sky,
Removed from pain, from care and woe,-
He tastes bliss more true and high
Than all his dearest joys below;
He walks with spirits pure and bright,
From sin, from bondage he is free.
And while we view the Realms Of Light,
Say, should we murmur "Where is Her'
In faith and trust on earth he dwet
In calm seclusion's pnth he trod,
Deeply his Saviour's love he felt,
Who died that he might live with God
The Christians hope our sadness cheers,
The Christians rock our stay must be,
Then let us cease our selfish tears,
Nor ask in sorrow, "Where ia He!''
