PAIN.

A sower went forth to sow, Finepes were wild with woo, Hasornshed the flowers beneath his feet, Normalt the perfume warm and sweat That prayed for pity everywhere....

He came to a field that was harried By iron, and to heaven laid bare ; · waHa shook the seed that he carried ud Oʻar that brown and bladeless place,

And what think you did I see, What was it that I heard? The song of a sweet-voiced

Kay-but the songs of funny Thrilled through with praising prayer.

Of all those voices not any Ware sad of memory

And a sea of sunlight flowed,

and a golden harrent glowed.

On my face I fell down there,

I hid my weeping oyes ;

REVERENCE

The great Creator to revere,

Must sure become the resture; But still the preaching cant forbear,

And erin the rigid feature; Yet no'er with wits profane to range,

Be complaisance extended; An atheist's laughs poor exchange

For Delty offended!

When ranting round in pleasure's ring,

Keligion may bổ blinded;

Or, if she give a random sting,

It may be little minded ;

But when on life we're tempest driv'n

A conscience but a canker-

A correspondence fix'd wi' heav'n

is sure a nobler suchor! BUTT

THE GHINA MAIL.

At last, just as gray dawn was breaking, a piping, babbling ory resounded through the house announcing the advent of a new life upon the earth.

The day following that on which the sad news came was the 25th of March. The news of our trouble had got about, through the medium of Tranter & Co, no doubt. Every one, at least, so we fancied, looked queerly at us; a shower of unremembered little bills came drifting in upon us. In the coarse of the day came a reply from Mr Tranter a note, at least, taking no notice of my letter, bus reminding me that the half-year's rent was this day duo.

The great degree of at-wealthy Pendleton
