THE HALL3 OF MEMORY*
BT KEV. 1. S. WENDELL
In a dim olden forest,
Wbete the quiet moonbeams play,
By the dusky shadows shrouded,
Stands'the Halls of Memory.
Like the palace domes of dream-land,
Built by the wild levered biain—
High, they stretch their marble arches,
O’er the moonlit forest pluin.
Near them Lethe’s deep, dark river
Rolls its sad and silent wave—
Bearing earth's forgotten tressu es,
Downward to Oblivion's grave :
Whilst the Be'.ls of Time are tolling,
On the watch-towers mournfully,
As the wrecks of life are pn-witig
Unremembered to decay.' ’* * ~
But through every opening portal.
Swift the light-winged Hours press in.
And on rich and glowing canvas.
Paint each loved and passing scene;
Bringing from the fatal river
Treasures beautiful and bright—
And in Crystal tombs enshrining
Every chosen form of Light.
Here the spirit, worn, may wander
’Midst the scenes it loved of yore,
And revisit friendly faces,
Fled from earth forevermore.
Whilst the radiant painted canvas
Our departed joys recalls—
And again, iu sweetness bids us,
Live the past in Memory’s Halls
There the visions of our childhood
Move beneath those arches high.
Like the shadowy forms of Angels,
In the cloudless moonlit sky;
1 ill by all around euchanted,
Age and sorrow pass away,
And our souls, forever haunted,
Walk the Halls of Memory.
THY WILL BE DONE.
Searcher of Hearts! from mine erase
All thoughts that should not be,
And in its deep recesses trace
My gratitude to Thee.
Hearer of Prayer 1 oh, guide aright
Each word and deed of mine;
Life’s battle teach me how to fight,
And be the victory Thine.
Giver of All 1 for every good
In the Redeemer came—
For shelter, raiment, and for food,
I thank Thee in His name.
Father, and Son, and Holy Ghost 1
Thou glorious Three in One 1
Though knowest best what I need most,
And let Thy will be done.

Brooksiana”—not the book with the
same title published under the direction
of Bishop Hughes, and which, while
purporting to give the whole of the
correspondence between Bishop Hughes
and senator Brooks, left our,three of Mr.
Brooks’s letters, and subMitut^dJn their
place other matters not thej^Huinote-

controversy—but ihe book published by
Davenport & Co., and which contains
the whole of said correspondence.
Now, for no other offense than selling
this book the poor unforttmH^ gentle
man was arrested by Catnonc police
officers, treated with insult and indigni
ty, and taken to the Tomb9, and that,
too, in a land boasting of its freedom.
The man soon regained, it is true* bis
liberty, and is now, as before* actively
engaged in earning an honest support by
selling that and other books ; but the oc-
cut rence shows what is the real spirit of
Romanism ; that it wili not scruple at
any means to accomplish its ends. Its
principles are undying, and but for the
restraints to which it issubjected it would
soon put an end to all that we as Pro
testants hold dear.
It does not become us, however, to re-
aliate nor resist by ar.y other weapons

THE INTOLERANT SPIRIT OF
ROMANISM.
That Romanism has rapidly been
gaining strength in this country within
a few years past is a fact which it is use
less to disguise or deny. It now num
bers 3.000.000 followers, has nearly
1,600 priests, 1,700 churches, and more
than 100 male and female seminaries
and colleges. This increase, it is true
is the result solely of immigration.—
Very few cases have occmred < f Pro
testants turning Romanists, but many
hundreds of the latter have turned Pro
testants And this increase is not like
ly to be vefy sooti checked. Gppres
sive taxes and low wages will cause the
tide of immigration from Papal lands to
pour in upon us for yeats to come, with
all its past fullness. And have we noth
ing to fear from this vast influx of the
followers of the Pope ? Are the institu
tions purchased for us by the blood of
our forefathers, and bequeathed to us as
their richest legacy, in no danger from
the machinatious*and Jesuitical arts of
corrupt Rome?
There are those who apprehend no
such danger. But they have either
mistaken,*he character,or shut their eyes
to the practical working of the Papal
system.—What is the basis ofour insti
tutions? Is it not the Bible? And
has not Popery always been hostile to
that blessed book ?—Has it not labored
in every possible way, even by employ
ing, when it dared, tbe fagot, and the
flames, to keep the word of God from
the hands of the people ? And has that
opposition to the Bible lost any of its
virulence and force with the lapse of
time? Let those who so think visit tbe
countries of tbe Old World where Pope
ry is the prevailing religion, ant! they
will be satisfied that it is as much a foe
to an open Bible now, as it was in the
days of Inquisition and of Auto da fes.
But it is not necessary to go abroad to
find proof of its intolerant and bigoted
spirit. Its attempts in this state to ex
clude the Bible from our common schools
are of too recent occurrence to be for
gotten. Those attempts, it is true, fail
ed, but there can be no doubt that they
will he renewed at every favorable oppor
tunity ; and if Jesuitical cunning and in
trigue can effect it, they will be success
ful.
It would be easy to show by other
facts in its history, as well as by cita
tions from Catholic publications, the an
tagonism of Popery to our civil and re
ligious freedom, and its unchanged
persecuting spirit;but our limits will
not permit at present. We cannot, how
ever, refrain from mentioning, by way
of illustration, a recent occurrence in
this city. An inoffensive and respecta
ble gentleman, known as the blue man,
because in consequence of the injudicious
use of medicine his color is ch&ngcd from
white to dee)? blue; and who supports
him-elf by the sate of books, was, a few
days sgo, arrestedjby certain Catholic
police officers, in Broadway, for selling
