POET RV.
Tlie foul liatli said in his Hart
“There is no Cod.”
8V MRS. L, SIGOURNEY.
“No God! No God!” The simplest
Tlwi on jlte wild is found, [llower.
Shrinks, as it drinks its cup of dew,
And trembles at the sound;
“No God!'*—astonished echo cries
From out hei cavern hour.
And every wandering bird that flies,
Reproves the Atheist lore.
The solemn forest lifts its head,
The Almighty to proclaim,
The brooklet, on its crystal bpd,
Doth leap to grave his name
High swells the deep the vengeful sea,
Along his billowy track,
And red Vesuvius opes his mouth,
To hurl the falsehood back.
The palm tree with the princely crest,
The cocoa’s leafy shade,
The brcad-lrnit, bending to its lord,
In yon fair island glade;
The winged seeds, that borne by winds,
The roving sparrows Iced,
J he melon or the desert sands,
Confute the scoruer’s creed.
“No God!” With indignation high
‘i’ll i fervent sail is stirred.
And the p ile moon turns paler still,
At smelt an impious word;
And from the.rimming thrones, the stars
L ‘ok down with angry eve.

Who front dark chaos spoke. !! into birth.
Enwrapt her form, in robes of ij.'tsei.led

Laid on her breast the sweetest robes’ of

Is there no God, who arched the skies that
o’er us roll,
And stretched the azure heavens from pole

Who bids the thunder peal and roar on high.

Is there no God, who made the gorgeous
lamp of day,
And guides its course through all the track

Who lit night’s silvet lamp, and hung it
high,
’.Mid Inviiad hosts in evening's pensive
sky?
Is there, no God, who lit the hunting stars
of llglll
That sparkle on the silver wing of night, •
Who come, methtnks, like spirits from a
holier sphere.
To watch o’er those they lov’d and cher
ished here?
Is there no God, who made the dancing
wave, the broad, blue deep,
The finny tribe that in her bosom sleep.
Who rules the raging billows at his will,
And whispers to the wind, “Peace, peace,
. be still?”
Is there no God, who reared the moun
tain's height.
And wreathed her ample brow in snowy
white,
Who bade the stream gush from bet rocky
side,
Ami into deeper, mightier waters glide?
Is there no God, who formed the clmul-cnpt
hill.
Niagara’s mighty deep, each bubbling brook
and till.
The forests towering oaks, —those sylvan
shades,
The blushing flowers that droop o’er hill
and glade?
Is there no God? Ah think, frail, erring
man,
YVho gave thee power the works of God to
scan?
Taught thee to reason, think, philosophize

And eon tlie .countless worlds that shine

Would not be developed in any other race
of men, even our own, if placed in similar
circumstances; and that nothing more is
wanting lo insure their elevation to the high

and opportunities of others.
‘l’lie Hoard desire to satisfy the public
that, as a noble race of men, as the original
owners of ibis country, and as a people
greatly injured by the settlement of Euro
peans on this continent, they deseive a
prominent place m the history of the na
tions of the earth', and are entitled to the
means ol improvement. It is believed that
the public, wheir correctly informed, will
readily extend to them the hand of help,
seeing that there is nothing mystical in re

results.

press forward in the work of Indian reform,
with redoubled diligence and energy, until

In tins great enterprise, the want of the

The request is, therefore, respectfully
and most earnestly made to every one w ho

such as brief historical sketches of wars,

The Indians have given names to many
of the wnter courses and mountains of our

Duties of Attorneys.
The following charge of .M r. Justice I fit
/is, in the Supreme Court at Melbourne,
respecting the dimes of an attorney, is ex
traded from tin; Sydney Herald, of the 25th
ol May last:
‘ I have tiiifnriimaiely ninic than once
had occasion to ( insure the conduct of some
nl the attorneys ol this court, ami have re
cently hectic pehid to stiike one olf tin
rolls, lor rcltisiiig to explain certain trails
actions with his client, w ieli appeared to
me dishonorable anil unjust. It mav be
w ell, therefore, if 1 avail mxsi ls ol tin's oc
casion. when applications “have been made
by gentlemen to practice in that branch ■ I
•lie profession, candidly to state what I con
ceive to be the duty ol an attorney, solicit
o', and proctor of this court.
I repudiate the common doctrine that ii
is meritorious in a lawyer alike inflexibly
to support the cause ol In* client, be it gm
or lad. An attbiney ought, I think, to the
utmost ol bis ability., to acquaint bimsell
a itb die merits of every case in which In
is consulted, lie should disehaige suits
*'<r frivolous anil trivial demands. lie
should never n'.iiu h himself to persons win,,
Inuii a pretended zeal against in position oi
oppression, nr tliimigh a p.-Minacious Im
mi and an unreasonable jc-aioiisv of theii
most minute rights, me involved in perpet
ual contention. He should not. in defer
diet to a A'caithy or poweiful client, much
less for the'sake of gain, undertake a cause
v||)iii h docs not appear to he just, exaepi
die laet on which the merits turn, is uncer
tain, or the construction ol'law is dimbtlul:
and less still should lie suppoii the best

stress on suspected evidence. He ought
not to encourage, or (it avoid Ide) pm.lnce.
bold and daring witnesses, disposed to make
free with irntli. that they may ensure a vic
tory. He should never overan e nor intim
idate the adverse parly, or take an advan
tage ol an oversight in his counsel or attor
ney. or of want of form in the pleadings,
unless, where he stands on the defensive,
and the attack oil his client is nnlorinuslv
it jiiriqtis. He ought hot to mislead nor
impose on the court, if in bis power, nor
prolong the cause, nnr enhance the costs,
though at the expense ol bis adversary, tun
appeal from a decision, unless be is pursuit
ditl m bis conscience, ami advised by bis
counsel, that—u bat may snnu-iimcs happen
through the falihility of sill human judica
ture —the determination is erroneous in
point of substantial justice.
In all other cases, as soon as judgment is
given, or the decree pronounced, he should
pcisundc his client to acquiesce ; nay, it
w hile the suit is depending, he recit es con
viction that his client’s demand nr defence
is ill-loumled, he. should advise him to drop
the suit and agree with his adversary ; and
il such adversary be poor, or has been in
jured by having his just tight withheld or
impeached, to make him ample reparation.
Should the decision he in favor oi his cli
ent, hut appear to he a hard though just
sentence, lie ought not to encourage him to
take the utmost advantage of the lignr or
power of the law. w hile equity or puveity
call for compassion or abatement.
In criminal ruses, he should act with
spirit and resolution against hardened and
daring oilenders, but should he very (an
imus, ami much none so not to add msuli
to severity. Process of law is often slow,
m o dvr to preserve the unwary or utisktl
ltd trout being sm prised, and to a If-ml toe
fatter opportunity of bringing truth to
light; hind lavs should never lie indulged !
ill wtteie a decision can he speedily ob
tained without derogating from justice. In
giving advice on mortgages or purchases,
or in any inouey transactions, an nttuniet
should discimrage every undue advantage
of the ignorant, unwaiy. or necesMions.
When the debtor is insolvent, the attorney
should promote equality in payment. —
Where a debtor is uiilortunate, the attorney
should dispose the creditor to show favor
and compassion. Where the debtor shows
himself to have been a designing villain,
the attorney should slim all unnecessary
connection and eoimmiuicaiion with him.
In settlements and other family transac
tions, serresy is more especially requisite.
Croat attention should lie had in disposing I
ol estates by wills, so that no cieditnr may
remain for any length of time unsatisfied,
and that peace and harmony .may be pro
served aiming the children and icHitives of
the testator. Care should be taken at all
times, ami especially when the testator's
faculties are in any wise impaired, to pro
cure witnesses of undoubted reputation to
the i xecution of the will.
There are other matters within the scope
of an attorney's duty, which, without par
liculaii'ing, will holiest performed by his
i observing die golden rule of do to others its
• he would he done l>v. Thus will attorney*
tree the profession from the reproach with
winch unworthy members have stained it,
and be a blessing instead of a curse to the
eoiiiiiiimtty; the ornament and tint the
bane oi society; the faithful guardians of
the laws of their country, and best suppor
ters of our courts of justice. That mere
are many excellent alt i:ney s I am able to
testily, but that there are others of a verv
dtli'creot stamp, 1 am reluctantly b.iund to
admit. It will always be my care, iumev
. er, to support the upright, mid uproot die
bad, ami dins endeavor to preserve without
blemish ordtsiuder, the most powerful en
gine lor putting t|ie laws under which we
live into salutary operation.”
