The Christian Poet's Song*
James Montgomery, the poet, thus devoted
hit latest energies to hymn Lis Savior’s praise.
The following sacred song’, so full of faith, of
gratitude, and love, was composed only the
day before his death—April 29, 1854:
O come all ye weary,
And ye heavy laden.
Lend a glad ear to your Savior's call:
Fearing or grieving.
Yet humbly believing,
Rest, rest (or your souls he offers to all.
0 then sing hosanna,
With jubilant voices,
And follow his train with willing accord.
Like him, meek and lowly.
In heart and life holy.
Own Christ, as good servants, your Master
and Lord.
How eaev his yoke is,|
How light is his burthen I
But what he suffered no language can tell—
His grief in the garden,
To purchase onr pardon,
His pangs on the cross to save us from hell.
Hence loud hallelujahs
8hall sound without ceasing;
And till they all meet in the kingdom above.
The liviog, the living.
Prayer, praise and thanksgiving.
Shall joyfully render their love for his love.
Censors not the Beast.
Oh Censure uottbe heart that loves,
Howevsr strange a choice weaee ;
Each gentle spirit knows ifemate,
Tho' bid from ua the tie may be!
When mortals meet, their spirits hold
Communion, in the silent air;
And trust, aud doubt, and love, and hate,
Invariably are awakened there 1
Oh let them freely love that can;
. Our mortal loves will toon be o'er;
We cannot know whit earthly bliss
Survives upon a heavenly shore;
Pull many a fragile, tender joy,
Was made for this pour world alone;
And whether found, or failed of, here,
In after-life will ne'er be known I
'Brief Stara.
1 VARIETY, THE SPICE OF LIFE:
Watt’s ms Name?—launch says
that the inventor of the steam engine was
a man of great en-gine-uity.
What kind of soil is best adapted for
the cultivation of rye? Very dry; for
every person knows that in-dus-try must
prosper.
It is to be feared that they who marry
where they do not love, will love where
they do not marry.
Snooks was advised to get his life in*
sured. “ Won’t do it,” said he, “ It
would be my luck to live forever, if I
should.”
At a meeting of clergymen, not long
since a reverend gentleman by the name
of Loss, ofdimensions somewhat extend
ed, both laterally and altitudinally,
pres nted himself. Says one of the bre
thren to him ; " When you left your
people you were a great Loss.” “Yea,”
said another, “ but when he dies he will
be no Loss.” *• Yes,” said a third, “ he
will be a dead Loss.”
A Yankee Giantess.—The Port
land ( Me.) Argus says that there is a
woman named Silva Hardy, a native of
Winton, in that State, who is seven feet
six inches in height, weighs three hun
dred and thirty pounds, is nearly thirty
years of age, and is still growing.
Filial Affection.—That a father’s
is a very bad part may be proved, amongst
other instances, by an affidavit of an
Irishman, who, swearing the peace
against his three sons, thusconclud d:—
“ And deponent further saith, that the
only one of hi* children who showed him
any real filial affection was his yourgest
son Larry, for he never struck him token
he teas down.
There was a good deal of murmuring
the other day by outsiders, and when the
rain began to fall, some may be suppos
ed to have muttered these words:—
'• Twa* ever thus from childhood’s hour
That chilling fate baa on me fell;
There always comes a soaking shower
When I hain't got no umberell. ’

GEMS OF THOUGHT.
Conversation is the music of the

Eloquence is the language of nature.
Applause is the end and aim of weak

A bad wound heals; a bad name

A bad workman quarrels with bis

THE NEW WORLD.
In two volumes bound i n one,
BY HENRY H. BROWNELL, A.M.
N presenting this work to the public, the
Jl publishers believe that they are supplying
a desideratum, the waut of which has been
long felt by the reading community, and
especially,by the people at large. No other
work, much leas any other single volume,
contains the complete and extended view qf
extibe American history which is here pre.
sensed. The plan and execution of the book
are entirely new; the arrangement of the
various European Provinces under their re
spective national heads, and the subdivision
of these into separate Coloniee and States—
due chronological order bein preserved—
will, it is thought, make it of peculiar value
as a book <•f reference, and greatly facilitate
a clear aud accurate knowledge of genet al
history.
Also.
THE OLD WORLD.
In two volumes boun a in one.
By Henry Howard Bro wnell, A. M>
Comprising an account of the f >undatiott
r. gres'aud decline of'(he most celebrated
Empires, States and Nations, from the earliest
period to the present time—of their ware,
conquests and revolutions- of religious dis
sension and persecution—of the gradual
tension of freedom and civilization—and the
final settlement of political relations on their-
present basis.
These books comprise a Complete history
of the World, in four volumes bound in two.
The character of the illustrations in these
voluint s are «.f higher aud more magnificent
standard than h»e ever been nttempied here
tofore. being from designs by Darley, Bil
lings, Wallin and Doepler, and elegantly
colored, (except tlie portraits,) with from
five ti uine different tints, true to natnre,
so as to impart a close resemblance to well-
fin i lied pain tings.
These works are printed from new and
handsome type, also on pnperofextra quality
ns regards texture and pertuatienoy, and com
prise over 2500 papes royal octawo, with
numerous and diversified colored engravings,
bound in embossed black morocco leather
binding with tipped corners.
To men of energy and business tact, thio
offers an unpuralled chance to do a good buai-
ness by engaging an agency for these im
portant works, which arc sold only by iub-

is toihsse Periodicals that readers roust look
for.the only really intelligible and reliable

public.
