[For the Empire State.J
Mr. Editor — l find among a very old collection of po
eUy in my possession, the following curious poem. It is
composed entirely of different Bible texts, and reads thus:
Cling to tlte Mighty One.
Cling to the Mighty One,
Cling in thy grief;
CMng to the Holy One,
He gives relief:
Cling to the gracious One—
Cling’ in thy pain,
Cling to the faithful One,
He will sustain.
Cling to the Living One,
Cling in thy woe ;
Cling to the Loving One,
Through all below;
Cling to the Pardoning One,
He speaketh peace—
Cling to the Healing One,
Anguish shall cease t
Cling to the Bleeding One—
Cling to His side ;
Cling to the Risen One,
In Him abide.
Cling to the coming One,
Hope shall arise;
Cling to the reigning One,
Joy lights thine eyes.
STELLA.
Sukey Smith.
MlssSukey. Smith had flaxen hair
Her daddy had the pewter,
Her eyes were grey, and looked serene,
Upon her favored suitor.
That suitor was a jolly youth,
So nimble, lithe and brawny.
The yellow fever took him off
Away to Califomy.
ADd when I heard that he was gone,
“It's now.” said I, “or never 1”
I shav’d myself and greased mv shoes,
And tried to look right clever.
I rigged myself from top to toe,
And caught and mounted Dobbin,
But nil the way I rode along.
My heart it kept a throbbiif.
And when I reached her daddy’s house,
It still kept up a thumpin’,
But when I saw the lovely maid,
It kinder stopped a jumpin’.
Twas half pastten when at her feet
I kn< tl.aud yet, ere dinner,
With honeyed speech and winning ways,
I had contrived to win her.
Sonic months elapsed, to set the day,
I now began to press her,
I urged, entreated, plead in vain—
In vain did I caress her.
While matters were thus cross and pile,
My clothes all growing seedy,
My rival from the mines returned.
Still for Miss Sukey greedy.
I saw him kinder sidle up
And slip his arm around her:
* When heaven and earth ! she let him kiss
Them precious lips! confound her !
I told her that I was surprised,
My eyes had sure deceived me,
And asked her to renew her vows,
And from suspense relieve me.
When, don’tyou think, the tama! gal.
Her thumb up to her smeller,
Her fingers wriggling, qp she said,
“Can’t come it, little feller.”
.* # .
What Shall Perish. ?
What shall perish? Plants that flourish,
Blossoms steeped in dewy tears,
Rushes that the brook’ets cherish,
Oaks that brave a thousand years !
What shall perish ? Thrones must crumble,
Centuries wreuch the prondeFt walls,
And the heedless travelers stumble,
* O’er the Caesar’s rained halls.
What shall perish ? Man, the glory
Os this sublunary spot,
Like an oft repeated story
Shall be buried and forgot.
What shall perish ? In their course
Stan must fall, and earth decay, ■
And old Ocean’s mightiest forces,
Like a bubble fleet away.
All shall perish, bnt their Maker;
While the soul that trusts his grace,
Os his strength shall be partaker,
And iu Heaven behold his face.
Tlte Book, of Books.
Some writer sires the following analysis of
the ‘'Book of Books/’ the Bible :
It is a Book of Laws, to show the right and
wrong.
It is a Book of Wisdom, that makes the
foolish wise
It is a Book of Truth, that detects all Tin
man errors.
It is a Book of Life, that shows how to.
avoid everlasting death.
It is the most, authentic and entertaining
history ever published.
It contains the most remote antiquities, the
most remarkable events and wonderful occur
rences.
It is a complete code of laws.
It is a perfect body of Divinity.
It is an nnequalel narrative.
It is a book of biography.
It is a book of travels.
It is a book of voyages.
It is the best covenant ever made ; the best
deed ever written.
it is the best will ever executed ; the best
testament ever signed.
It is the young man’s best companion.
It is the school boy’s best instructor.
It is the learned man’s master-piece.
It is the ignorant man’s dictionary, and ev
ery man's directory.
It promises an eternal reward to the faith
ful and believing.
Bnt that which crowns all,is the Author.
He is without partiality and without hypoe
ricy. “With whom there is no variableness,
neither shadow of turning.”
Dew Drops of,Wisdom.
He that doth not see God in this world
shall never see Him in the next.
Lb ie not a fit time to prepare to die when it
is a burden to live.
Natural blindness is bad, but spiritual blind
ness is worse.
A false friend is ,more dangerous than an
open enemy.
Those that will not k tow God by faith, shall
be made to feel Him by his wrath.
It is better to be forgot when dead, tbau to
be remembered with digrace.
Worldling may take away a good man’s
head, but they etwmofc take avay his crown.
Passion makes fools of the wise, and sho.ws
the iolly of he so-ii-h.
P-c, ..pri „ sinful -conceit will overshad
ow the-brightest attainments.
Vu-ei y :s the neeeasaiy result of a deviation
from rectitnde.
Alany talk like philosophers, and yet livo
like fools.
Modesty i* both the
of rising merit.
If the counsel be good, no matter who gave
it.
In the spirit of liberty there is a charm
against infection.
Every action of life is a step to life or n
step to death ; L a step towards heaven or a
step towards hell.
We are either in a state of nature, < r a state
of grace ; iu Christ or the devil’s hands.

Cordial must stand preeminent above all other prepara
