Original Poetry. ~For the CABLN E V. Lines suggested by the appertrance of the Comet in the autumn of 1825. Jehovnh did no length of means employ; He said, “Let there be light,” and forth it shone; The sons ot God broke forth in shouts for j“y; 1 he morning stars, in praise, flam'd round hi 9 throne. Ten thousand times ten thousand worlds all roll’d For when Jehovah spoke the work was done; The heavens beam‘d forth in globes of glowing gold, As from his hand he tost each brilliant sun, At the % aberrant stranger, millions gaze; In mute astonishment the wisest stand, Wondering arid wondering, what can be that blaze That sweeps the sky and overhangs the land. Thou com’st careering thro’ the distant skies, From dreary regions wrapt in sable night, Where no bright suns in glittering glory rise, Nor moons array’d in robes of borrowed light, Sav, in what lurid lonesom 0 nook of space The Almighty kindled up that tram of thine? 0 point me to that silent, solemn place! Where first thy gloomy beam began to shine. Is this the only visit thou hast paid This earth of sin, of misery and dis grace? Hast thou been travelling since the world was made, And never yet attain‘d thy starting place? Sweep on! sweep on, thro’ space‘3 bound less sea! Fly ’flaming round her distant, wide pois*d pole; Sweep the broad circle of immensity, Then backward to thy place of start ing roll, Mv fancy fain would take the wing and fl y With thee, thro’ all thy lonesome lengthened rout; But fancy loiters in the distant sky. And bold conjecture‘s feeble lamp dies out. YVhattho* my fancy fail to trace thee here? What tho’ conjecture's flickering lamp should die? The time is coining—O. that time is near! When God shall thunder from his throne on high. When God shall thunder—then shall wild despair Fill all the guilty sons of earth with dread, The sun himselfgrow “black as sackcloth hair” The stars diall fall, the moon as blood be red. In that great day, where wilt thou wand‘rer, be? Wilt thou he wreck and on times far dis tant coast? And like the stranger dying on the sea. Thy birth, thy life and all thy glory lost. Yes, when each planet’9 numbered rout is o’er, When nature struggles out her final groan. When yon bright sun shall set to rise no more, One trace of all thy glory shan't be known. But there's a spark within the Christian’s breast. Kindled by him who bid the planets roll; Destin’d to dwell forever with the blest It mo* ks description, for it is the SOUL. R. F. Woman—was made of a mans rib. Many frivolous queries have been proposed concerning this circumstance ill the creation ■'Woman; but it ought to sat- Hfy us, that this made of her Krmadon was most agreeable lo the divine wisdom; and ? from it may be suggested some practical hints, of no s t all im portance in domestic life I The woman was taken not out from the head of man, to usurp authority over him; nor from his feet, to be trampled on by him; but from his side, to be regarded as himself; under his arm, to be protected; and near his heart; to lie beloved by I him. A clergyman catechising the • youths of his parish, put the first question in Heidelberg’s j Catechism to a girl— ‘ What is your only consolation in lift and dealhV’ The poor girl smiled, and no doubt felt queer, but did not answer. The priist insisted—“ Well then,” said she, “If I must tell, it is the little shoemaker that wears a striped jacket.” A hungry Scotchman took up a raw egg, cracked the. shell, and was raising it to his mouth when his ear was sud denly saluted by the shrill pipe of an unborn chicken.—“Ye spoke too late” cried Sawney, and down went the pullet, feathers and all. A Hibernian on his first shooting excursion, shot a bird and seeing something fall, 1 went to the foot of the tree, where he picked up a frog, (supposing it to be the bird) and put it into his pocket. The frog kept such a contin ual kicking, that his compan ion asked him what made his bird kick so! Och? said Pat, I shot all the feathers off, and poor thing it is cold. One moonlight night as Jack was leading his father home from the tavern, where his po tations had been to deep and strong for his head, the old tipier raised his foot to step o ver the shadow of the sign post. ‘What—what is that?’ quoth the old man. ‘Nothing but the sign,’ replied the duti ful son. Sign—sign of what, demanded the votary of Bac cus. ‘Why, a sign that youj are drunk, father,’ replied Jack. Description of a party of pleasure. We went out clean—we came home dirty. We went out sober—we came home drunk. We went out well— we came home sick. We went out laughing—we came home crying. We went out sound— we came home broken. We went out with cash—we came home monyless. We went out for air—we came home full of dust. School Dialogue....
