PSALM CIV.
From “ Songt of Zion,” By Jamtt Montgomery.
Mj foul, adore the Lord of might;
With uncreated glory crown’d,
And clad in royalty of light,
He draws the curtain’d heavens around;
Dark waters his pavilion form,
Clouds are his car, his wheels the storm.
Lightning before Him, and behind
Thunder rebounding to and fro;
lie walks upon the winged wind,
And reins the blast or lets it go:—
This goodly 1 globe his wisdom fdann'd,
He fix’d tb* hounds of aea and land.
When o’er a guilty world, of old,
He summon'd the avenging main,
At his rebuke the billows roll'd
Back to their parent-gulf again!
The mountains rais’d their joyful heads,
Like new creations from their beds.
; Thenceforth the self-revolving tide
Its daily fall and flow maintains:
Through winding vales fresh fountains glide,
Leap from the hills or course the plains;
There thirsty cattle throng the btiuk.
And the wild asses bend to drink.
Fed by the enrrents, fruitful groves
Expand their leaves, their fragrance fling,
Where the cool breere at noon-tide roves,
And birds among tbe branches sings
Soft fall the showers when day declines,
And sweet the peaceful rainbow shines.
Orass through the meadows, rich with flowers,
God’s bouDty spreads for herds and docks :
On Lebanon his cedar towers,
Tbe wild goats bound upon his rocks ;
Fowls in hit forests build their nests,
The stork amid the pine-tree rests.
To strengthen man, condemn'd to toil,
He dlls with grain the golden ear;
Bids the ripe olive melt with oil.
And swells the grape, man’s heart to cheer;
Tbe moon her tide of changing knows,
Her orb with lustre ebbs and flows.
The tra goes down, the stars come out;
He makrth darkness and ’tis night:
Then roam the beasts of prey about,
The desert rings with chase and fight:
The lion, and the lion’s brood,
Look up,—and God provides them food.
Morn dawns far east; ere long the sun
Warms the glad nations with hi., beams }
Day, in their dens, the spoilers shun,
And night returns to them in dreams:
Man from his conch to labour goes,
Till evening brings again repose.
How manifold thy works, O Lord,
In wisdom, power, and goodness wrought!
The earth is with thy riches stored,
And ocean with thy wonders fraught:
Unfathoo.'d caves beneath the deep
For Thee tbeir hidden treasures keep.
There go the ships, with sails unfurl’d,
Bj ‘i hee directed on their way 5
There, in his own mysterious world,
Leviathan delights to play;
And tribes that range immensity,
Unknown to man, are known to Thee.
I
By Thee alone the living live;
Hide but thy face, tbeir comforts fly;
They gather what thy seasons give ;
Take Thou away their b-eatb. they die ;
Send forth *hy Spirit from above,
And all is ii\ again, and love.
Joy in His works Jehovah takes,
Vet to destruction they return ;
He looks upon the earth, it quakes, 1
Touches the mountains, and (hey burn ; !
Thou, God, forever art the same ; i
I AM, i thine unchanging name. 1
MISCELLANY.
FRENCH INVASION OF SPAIN.
i
Tie following extract from a work of the Abbe
de Pradt, is given by Mr. Walsh, and is worthy
of attention, as disclosing the history of an at
tempt on Spain, which may be prophetick of
the event of that which is now probably in op
eration. American
“ While Napoleon employed himself at
Madrid in arranging the internal affairs of
Spain, the war became general over the
whole surface of the country, and it was
then that he could estimate its difficulties.
In the Austria®, Marshals Lefebre and Vic
tor haJ woo the battle of Reynosa and Es
pinosa, and overrun that province as con
querors, without gaining any real advan
tage. The siege of Sarrago*°a was begun ;
the battle cfTudela had dispersed the most
considerable Spanish army; Roses was ta
ken, and Giron also. Marshal Gouvoin,
St. Cyr, had destroyed in the engagement
of VVals the victor# of Baylen, and their
commander Rediny; and nevertheless, mat
ter# were not the further advanced. Spain
seemed to imitate the manoeuvre of tho<c
battalions which open in order to let the
enemy pass, and then, forming behind him,
shower blow# upon him while he is hurried
along the rapidity of their movement.
This i wbat happened to the French:
they were the masters of (he spot which
they occupied from the head to the last
ranks cf their column—the wings did not
belong to them; the Spaniards fled at tbeir
approach, but returned as soon as they
wf re gone; their number at any one time
was small compared to the extent of ground
which they had to cover. They were
compelled to be perpetually in motion; to
oppose an enemy always beaten, but always
reappearing—always flying, but likewise
always present every where.
“Such was the dreadful career of the
French troop#—such wns the true cause of
their destruction in Spain. It is not by bat
tles that they were wasted away, but by
Ihe mountainous face of tbe country, tbe
difficulty of communication, tbe insulated
character of the settlements, the'want of
eerure places of retreat and regular subsis
tence, the unremitting hostilities of the
population, the fertility of their victories,
and the incessant marches after an enemy
that showed himself only to disappear.
Spain is not formed like other countries:
she is cut by mountains, which encompass
some parts of her territory in a regular
manner—this configuration produced her
political geography and her division into
distinct stales. The mountains present ob
stacles to assailants, and strong points and
places of refuge to the defenders of the
country, and moreover curtains, behind
which you see nothing. Tbe habitations
are collected in towns and villages, so as to
leave great desert intervals between them.
You do cot meet there, as in other parts of
Europe, those dwellings through the inte
riour and along tbe high roads, which fur
nish shelter and the means of subsistence ;
all the cross roads are bad—wood, shade
and water are wanting—no large vehicles
for transportation are found—-every thing
is done by beasts of burden—the hostile
population harass the invader in a thousand
ways—a large army has extreme difficulty
in keeping together—a small one is of little
use. A Spanish war, then, is attended with
difficulties peculiar to itself, and insur
mountable when you are not favoured as
the British were, and have not, as they had,
an abundance of money at command.” * *
“ I shall proceed to examine what the
Spanish war cost France in men. From the
2d May, 1308, the date of the insurrection
at Madrid, and the first fighting in Spain, to
the 10th April, ISI4, when the war was
ended, (here were six entire campaigns.
These were not interrupted by any of those
intervals of rest under the name of armisti
ces, winter quarters, &c. which suspend
blows and give the comhatlants time to
breathe. In Spain, there was no intermis
sion of hostilities—not a day passed without
the effusion of blood, and that over the
whole surface of tbe country. The nation
al hatred and vengeance admitted of no ’
respite and no lenity. Destruction and
death reigned for six years. Every French
man, however employed, and wherever
found, was treated as an coemy and put to
death, without discrimination, except as to
the greater or less ferocity with which be
was dispatched. Here there was a cause
of modality unknown in other wars. Add
to this the fatal influence of the climate—
the abseoce of all assistance in hospitals,had
nourishment, and the fatigues of the ardu
ous marches.
“ The period when Marshal Massena
took the command of the army of Portugal
that of the greatest extension of the
French armies in Spain. He led more than
80.000 moo into Portugal We may take
200.000 infantry and 30,000 caialry as the
maximum of the French force then, and
130,000 foot and-20,000 horse as the mini
mum of the same when Madrid and Valla
dolid were abandoned in 1813. The mean
term for (he six years is 140.000 infantry
and 20.000 cavalry. Adding to the total of
160,000, the non-combatants of every des
cription, who cannot he reckoned at less
than 40,000, you have in the whole 200.-
000 men. This calculation i3 by no means
exaggerated. Six campaigns took place.
So bloody and destructive wpre they, that
the loss of men each year on an averagp,
cannot be estimated at less than one hund
red thousand. Thi9 estimate is higher than
in ordinary cages, but the. causes of mortali
ty were more various than in such cases,
and incessantly active. !do not doubt that
there perished each year in Spain 100.000
FrencbmeD, including all classes ar.tl pro
fetsioDS; which majtes a total of six hundred
thousand during the six years of tbe inva
sion. The French lost more than the Span
iards. Tbe Spaniards fought an infinite
number of battles; they attacked individu
ally, in band- great and small, at all hours
—they spared no Frenchman that could be
destroyed. They fired from windows, from
behind walls, from acclivities and fastnesses;
defeals tn the field never shook Iheirdeter
mination nor arrested their hostilities; in
the great battles they fled quickly and on
every side; but they soon rallied in parties
and hunted down the masters of the field.”
OBITUARY.
At Bow, N. H. ou Saturday the sth inst
died the venerable Samuel Welch, tbe
oldest person in New Hampshire, at ihr
age of one hundred and twelve years and seven
months! He was horn a* Kingston, N. H.
Sept. I, 1710, O. S His grandfather, Philip
Welch, was a native of England, and one
of the first settler# at Ipswich, Mas-*. His
fa'her, Samuel Welch, settled early at
Kingston, and lived to between 80 and 90
years of age. His mother lived nearly a
century; a sister . till about 100. ai.il a
brother till more that. 90 years of age. Mr.
Welch spent the early part of bis life no the
paternal farn ; afterwards removed to Pem
broke, purchased a small tract of laud, ano
settled upon it. About filly years since, he
removed to Bow, where he steadily cultiva
ted his little farm, till the winter of age
was gathering around him, and tbe infirm*
ties of a second childhood warned him ol
his approaching dissolution. It was not.
however, till a hundred summers had passed
that he wascompef led to abstain from labour.
Mr. Welch had through life been a man of
industry, and a lover of retirement. The
dangers of Indian warfare bad Dever
disturbed him, though th savages for
many years lurked in the vicinity. No
accident or evil appears to have befallen
him; his long life has been an even tenor
of quiet industry and comfort, unmarked by
those vicissitudes which distinguish the
history of many of our aged people. The
grand secret of his extraordinary health
eeems to have been bis uniform temperance,
which, with a single exception, secured
to him through life a souod constitution,
and an entire exemption from disease.
Till within a very short time his mental
powers were little impaired, and he could
converse with freedom and propriety.
With the years long passed he was most
familiar, and would relate, with ease, cir
cumstances that occurred half a century
ago; while with recent events and the
preseqt race of men, he was little acquaint
ed. For the last few years he has had
many visiters—the youDg and thoughtless
to behold the patriarch of a century and an
eighth—the old, to commune wih u man,
to whom they too appeared as ysuths.
His appearance was truly venerable.
Time had made deep inroads upon Isis
frame; his locks had been toucled by the
silvery wand ; his eye, original!’ dark and
brilliant, gave evidence of decajing lustre;
while his countenance, wrinkled vith years,
and his frame tottering and felble, could
not but deeply impress the hehdder. He
spoke of life as one weary of if hurthens,
and wishing 11 to be away.” lis death
corresponded with his life—it was calm
and tranquil. And we trust he las gone to
taste tbe rewards of a life spent iu quiet
virtue and unambitious goodness.
Mr. Welch was the oldest native
of New Hampshire. Thw>e, however,
have died here at a greater age, via; Mr.
Lovewell, of Dunstable, (lather to ICOI.
Zaccbeus Lovewell mentioned in Belklap’s
N. H. vol. ii. p. 233,) aged 120; VYi! iam
Perkins, of New Market, who died in 1132,
aged 116; and Hubert Macklin, of W ike
field, who died in 1739,aged 115. It nay
be mentioned, in favor of the general alu
brity of our climate, that within a cec nrv
about one hundred persons have livel in
New Hampshire to the age of a cenury
and upwards. We doubt whether any
other state in the Union can preset! so
many instances of longevity.— JV. H.lPat.
