PEOPLE of the living God • I have sought the world around, Paths of sin and sorrow trod, Peace andeoiflfort nowhere found; Now to you my spirit turns, Turns, —a fugitive unblest; Brethern! where your altar bunts, O receive me to your rest. . Lonely Inc longer roam Like the cloud, the wind, the wave, Where you dwell shall be my home, Where you die shall be my grave. Mine the God whom you adore, Your Redeemer shall be mine ; Earth can fill my soul no more, Every idol 1 resign. Tell me net of gain and loss, Ease, enjoyment, pomp, and power ; Welcome poverty, and cross, Shame, reproach, affliction’s hour! —“ Follow me !” —I know thy voice, Jesus, Lord ! thy steps I see ; Now I take thy yoke by choice. Light thy burthen now to me. OLD STORIES. He is still there! Still is he to be seen in the miller’s orchard! His feet wet with the morning dew ; his brow furred with the evening mist ; his hair clotted with the rain of night. He is ever there, —pacing among-t the fruit trees. The peasants call to him when they go forth, and point to him when they return Spring, sum mer, autumn, and winter: in sultri ness and in frost, in drouth and in damp ; in storm and in calm, —still is Guido there The stars shift in the heavens, but Guido shifts not. He is still to be seen, smiling to him self, in the miller’s orchard ! The owlet shrieks over his head in the dark ; With a shout of wild mockery Guido replies; But he smiles to himself when the earliest lark Is heard in the heights of the morning skies. The miller’s cottage stands in a small and narrow valley , and near it are the dark waters of the snow-swol len Aarve. The noisy impetuous current is chafed by the broken arch es of a bridge; and savagely the waves roar and dance around the fetry-boat, which slowly and slaun tinglv, labours across the stream. Patiently it comes with its freight, many times a day, by the help of the bleached cord. In the cord there is a knot ; it hath been broken ; and, as it dashes on the water, and rebounds into the air, casting spray against the sunbeam, —Guido laughs from the orchard-wall. Then th£*pcasants it: .lie boat shudder, and pray for the souls of her that « dead and of him that yet lives. They drop their beads when they hear his strange laught-r, And look to the Cross standing high o’er the ford ; They pray for the soul of the old miller’s daughter, And for Guido, the witless, the son of a lord. Proudly rise those castle-tower®, hut a sad heart is within its walls, and tearful eyes look over its broad moat The aged lady stretches forth her arms to heaven, and her pale and reverend face is ever to be seen at the small window fronting the miller’s orchard. Sorrow shines in that countenance with a spectral ligh ; grief flourishes there, while the sun shines bright in the blue hea vens. The breeze, as it passes the lady’s turret, howls lowly of misery. There the clouds love to throw their shadows; but the raven will not fly a cross, —it turns, with a hoarse scream, to the neighbouring pi< e w'ood. The large clock sounds the quarters, and strikes the hours, over the aged lady’s head : the tick of the moments drops heavily amidst the silence that surrounds her; ttie 1 aden image, which stands, am.dst dark ever greens, in the garden beneath, is the lady’s only companion : she is fixed, and cold as it is ; as heedless of time and season : but, alas, her heart is conscious of the woe that has befal len the hope of her house, the joy of her maternal pride ! For Guido’s youth was a morning of spring, Till a cloud came across with perishine blight: „ His panoply shone in the justs, at the ring ; And lordly of soul was young Guido, the knight. Why hath Guido left the hall of his ancestors ; the seat of nis house’s power : —why hath he ct ased to pre side over his fair domains; to tower over the young men, his companions, as the eagle towers over the creep ing fowls; to make the maidens sigh, feeling tender wishes in their heart® 1 Why doth his eye no longer kind’e in the brightness of his fortunes, — braving the day with a fiery glanCc, —as the white plumes of his helmet shake and spread in the light wind ? Why doth his step no more rise with disdainful spring from the ground; —why are the voices of his cheerful hounds all mute; the neighing of his noble steed never more heard ; where is bis gallant train of friends, his standerd-bearers, his horns-mcn, his huntsmen, his falcon-holders ? Why does the peasant no more hear t he stormy tumult of the chase,sweep ing like a thunder-cloud, over the green fields ; and no more listen to the sound of music and the dancers’ tread, streaming through the high windows ofthc castle ? Why is the heart of Guido’s lady-mother broken; -and why does he, with sunken hag gard cheeks, his hair laden w ith snow flakes, his limbs graceless and heavy, still for ever pace, to and fro, amidst .the fruit-trees of the miller’s orchard 1 Hark, he sings,—and as he sings he smiles!— She’s gone—for ever gone from me— Vet none hath seen her bier ! But is there not woAe misery ? Oh yes, for I am here ! The waters now run cold o’er that breast Which life and love made warm ; And the hands once kiss’d, and fondly press’d, Move with the weeds in the storm : And the beantiful face, on which I gaz’d, Is swoll’n by the bloating wave ; And the ooze and the slime streak the lair that! prais’d— But she is not in her grave ! Still the sun shines out, and the world goes round, And nature is fair to ecc ; But the fairest things are not long to be found; — Alas, she’s gone from me ? The stars still shine with a quiet light, And each appears in its place— But I have lost a star more bright Than rises on heaven’s face ! She’s gone for ever!—gone from me ! Yet none hath seen her bier f But is there not w ors misery ? Oh yes, for I am here ! A Negro Sacrifice. —The very cu rious account of a negro sacrifice, is given by an eye witness. We ex tract it from the notes to a recent pamphlet on the West India ques tion. Our classical readers will be reminded by it ol the Choephoraj aEschyius, and all our readers w ill be struck by its resemblance to the sacrifices to the dead, alluded to in Deuteronomy xiv. 1 xxvi. 14. xxxii. 17. and in other parts of scripture. “ In Jamaica there had been a se vere distemper prevailing for some time ; it had swept away some of the grand-children of a very old African woman, who had contributed much to the increase of her master’s sub jects. One evening I saw her at the graves of her deceased descendants, and surrounded by those who were in health : two were confuted to their beds, and to procure th ir health, old Beneba was a suitor to the Dup pies, or spirit* of her departed chil dren, her brother and husband. Shi had prepared a liberal repast, most part of which she cast over the graves, and thus invoked the Dup- [OR $4 IF NOT F AID IN SIX MONTHS. NO. ;i....V0L. I. uc> : “ Codha ! Qnanona ! Cceben ha!

And my good brother, and you my t’other pickenninies, do make them poor sick pickenninies, Qua sheba and Cudjoe, get well, no make them dead. Here she again scat tered her offering." Touching Anecdote. — The follow ing touching anecdote, which Mad. ame de Genlis recounts in the Bth volume of her Memoirs, is n< *to be matched : —“ln speaking of r.ol e ac tions and character, I must here make mention o. an instance *i:ich was lately recounted to me.—Ti ere lives an old peasant woman near Pa ris, who has an .rpl.m gran i-ri;.ligh ter 16 years of age with whom she charges herself, and whom she is passionately fond of; but as, in such a condition of life, sensibility is very commonly joined to brutality . and violence, the affection of the old wo man for the young girl does not prevent her from frequently beating her with rudeness and severity—a treatment which the poor girl has constantly supported with unaltera ble mildness, and without a single complaint One day; when the old woman, yielding as usual to her-furr, beat the young peasant girl with great fury and for a long time, the latter all at once began to weep bitterly. On this, her grand mother ceased, and cried out; ‘Ah! this is something new; yon never used to cry when I heat you and why do you do so how. 1 ?’, ‘ Alas !’ cried the angelic girl, I cry because you don’t hurt me now, and I see by that sign that your strength is going.’ I hope that an answer like this has disarmed forever the ir ritable grand mother.” Jferi'spnpcrs. —There were but 7 papers in the United States in 1750, in 1816, there were 359, (including 25 published daily,) which circulated 22 200,000 copies in the year. In 1823 they had increased to 588 ; and at present they arc about 640 The number of copies circulated in the year, by these journals, ex ceeds 30 millions.
