** MUCH TET REMAINS UNSUNG.”
mart at the cross.
Amid that gathering throngof vengeful men,
A pale-browed band of Jewish maln>ns stood
In all the anguish ol impassioned grief;
Yet one aund Uiat weeping train appeared,
Os noble mien—a being strangely bright
And fair, though girlhood’s early grace had lied,
And the warm flush of maiden beauty gone ;
•Whose burning eye no cooling tear-drop dimmed,
For the hot lever-flame of speechless wo
Had scorched Iter soul and dtied up every fount
Os healing wave.
No wail of agony
Her white lip movedfand yet the pallid cheek
And fervid glance betrayed th’ unwonted weight
That pressed the life-blood from her bursting heart,
And sent it raging through her fever’d brain.
Pale mother ! on the cold and marble form
That writhcJ with more than mortal pangs she
gazed,
Till the pure meekness of his holy look
Her unnerved spirit with sustaining strength
Girt up, and when the iciness ol death
- Was at his heart’s life-stream—its cold spray drop*
On his unsullied brow, one living spring
Os filial tenderness, unfrozen, gushed
And warmed the stagnant current of her veins;
For with a look of silent eloquence,
His pleading eye in sweet compassion turned
On one whose life’s best heritage had been
The bleeding sorrows of his Lord to share,
And “Son, behold tby mother,'’ fell like balm
Upon her withered heart; for (ell she not
In the stern conflict of that fearful hour
How deep his love was rooted in her soul ?
Oh ! ve who lightly hold the nameless woes
That wring the bteast which nursed your infancy,
Go witness how a God, though shrined in dust,
’Mid all the horrors of that torturing hpur.
When grasping from Perdition’s wove a world,
Could pull lire gall-cup from his lip to smile,
And bless the lowly form that bore for him
The well-spring of maternal love.
Ami thou,
Pale mourner, drooping o’er the cheerless wreck
Os thy heart’s earthly idol, or who pour’st
Thy hitler tears o’er half imagined woes,
Perchance, go learn a lesson of meek trust
From that unshrinking mother at the cross;
Who, through the fearful elemental strife,
When paled and quenched the sun went out in
blood,
And more than midnight blackness wrapped (lie
sky,
Wh&n earth convulsive shook, and tombs released
Their cold stark forms to walk llie reeling earth,
All fearless in her master’s strength could stand,
And yield—a sacrificial offering—
Her first-horn ou the altar of the world.
So learn lliv wayward heart to subjugate
And bow submissive to a Father’s will,
Till purged from every stain of earthly dross
It shall be thine—life’s ordeal passed, to near
The victor-crown of Heaven.
TIIE WIND.
[FROM THE PERSIA IS.]
Solomon! where is thy throne? It is gone in the
wind.
Babylon! where is thy might? It is gone in the
wind.
Like the swift shadows ol Noon, like the dreams of
the Blind,
Vanish the glories and pomps of the earth in the
wind.
Man! canst thou build upon aught in the pride of
thy mind.
Wisdom will teach thee that nothing can tarry be
hind ;
Though there lie thousand bright actions embalm
ed and enshrined.
Myriads and millions of brighter arc now in the
wind.
Solomon! where is thy throne? It is gone in the
wind.
Babylon! where is thy might? It is gone in the
wind.
All that the genius of Man hath achieved or de
signed
W aits hut its hour to be dealt with as dust by tlie
wind.
Say, what is Pleasure? A phantom, a mask unde
fined ;
Science? An almond, whereof we can pierce but
tlie rind;
Honor and Affluence ? Firmans that Fortune hath
signed
Only to glitter and pass on the wings of the wind.
Solomon! where is thy throne? It is gone in the
wind.
Babylon! where is thy might? It is gone in the
wind.
Who is the Fortunate? He who in anguish hath
pined !
He shall rejoice when his relics are dust in the
wind!
Mortal! be careful with wliut thy best lio|>eb are en
twined ;
Woe to the miner for Truth —where the Lantpless
have mined!
Woe to the seekers on earth for—what none ever
find! •
They and their trust shall he scattered like leaves
on the wind.
Solomon! where is thy throne ? It is gone in the
wind.
Babylon ! where is thy might? It is gone in the
wind.
Happy in death are they only whose hearts have
consigned
All Earth’s affections and longings and cares to
the wind.
Pity, then, reader! the madness of poor Human-,
kind,
Raving of Knowledge,—and Satan so husv to
blind!
Raving of G'ory,—like me, —for the garlands I
nind
(Garlands of song) are hut gathered, and—strewn
iu the wind!
Solomon! where is thy throne? It is gone in the
wind.
I, Abul-Namez, must rest; for my fire hath de- '
dined,
And I hear voices from Hades like bells on the
wind.
Invitation to Tea. —“ Sally,” said Mrs.
Hammond to her maid-servant, (a rather
original character,) “Sally go to Mrs. Gas
kill’s with my compliments, and 1 shall
be happy to see her and Miss Gaskill at
my house to tea this afternoon.”
“Yes, mem;” answered Sally; “but il ■
the ladies can’t come, what shall I say?”
“Go along, girl,” replied Mrs. H.,
“they’ll be sure to come.”
Away went the wench, and delivered
her message in due form.
“Give my compliments to your mis
tress,” said Mrs. Gaskill, “and I and my
daughter will be sure to come.”
“Ay,” quoth Sally, “missus said you
would.”
