THE JEWISH PILGRIM.
Are these the ancient holy hills
\Vhere angles walked ofold?
Is this the land our story fills
With glory not yet cold '.l
For Iltave passed by many a shrine
O‘er many a land and sea,
But still. oh! promised Palestine,
My dreams have been ofthee.
I see th y mountain cedars green,
Thy valleys fresh and fair,
With summers bright as they have been
When I.srael’s home was there;
Tho’ o’er thee sword and titne have past,
And Cross and Crescent shone,
And heavily the chain hath prest,
But thou art still our own !
Thine are the wandering race that go
Uiiblest through every land,
\Vhose blood hath stained the polar snow,
Arid quenched the desert sand ;
And thine the homeless hearts that turn
From all earth's shrines to thee.
\Viih their lone faith for ages borne
In sleepless memory.
For thrones are fallen. and nations gone,
Before the march oftirne.
And where the ocean rolled alone
Are forests in their prime.
Since Gentile plot.-gh-shares marred the brow
Of Zion’s holv l'iill.-
Where are the Roman Eagles now ?
Yet Judah wanders still.
And hath she wandered thus in vain
A pilgrim ofthe past ‘.7
No ! long deferred her hope hath been,
But it shall come at last :
For in her wastes a voice I hear.
As from sortie prophet’s urn,
It bids the nations build not there,
For Jacob shall return.
Oh! lost and loved Jerusalem,
The pilgrim may not stay,
'I‘o see the glad earth’s harvests home
In thy redeeming day:
But now resigned in faith and trust,
I seek a nameless tomb.
At least beneath thy hallowed dtist
0 give the wanderer rooiri.
For the Gazelle.
TO THE MEMORY OF A SISTER.
T saw thee waste away. and knew that death
Would sever soon the last attenuate thread ;
For he had stamped his signet on thy brow,
And marked tliee. as a victim for the tomb.
He pttt his hand upon thy blanr.-bed clieek.
And chilled the crimson current flowing there-
Bnt dare not rtidely quench so bright a flame,
Nor blast at once so beautiful a flower.
Yet likethe slow-worrn gnawing at the root,
He tore away each fibre, one by otie.
My spirit sunk within me, when I saw,
The insidious working, of that crtiel power,
Concealed yet working siill—and thou,
Living, yet dying—-all the while.
Those cords
So tense —so strong-—elastic—all dissolved,
And link by linli—ditl the mysterious chain,
Melt in the crucible ofthat disease.
0 strange phenomena! that mimics life,
\V hen life is fleeing. and health is gone.
It did not seem to me, my sister, thou could'si
die.
That thoti would’st, stand beside my rlyingcoticli
And wipe the cold sweat from triy pallid brow ;
That thy own ltand, would raise my fainting
head,
And tltv own tears. tiiy throbbing temples bathe.
But thou art gone! and now, thy hallow’d name
\Vith richer music. falls upon my ear.
The gurgling fountains ofmy heart swell tip,
To rush in limped torrents from my eyes.
Now, when Iturn me, from the world’s cold
frown,
Thou can’st not meet tne with thy wonted smile.
A sister’s generous heart will not respond,
To one emotion of my stricken soul.
as * 4: it at: at:
Pass on—-companion of my youtli——pass on,
\Vith all the good, and holy ones pass on!
Earth is too rough-—and rude a place for thee,
And I will ktriveagain to gather up.
The deep emotions of my bleeding heart,
And calmly breathe for thee a short farewell
Till we shall meet again. A. H.

‘ It is gratifying to reflect, however. that
the credit given by the Government, wheth-
er to bank paper or bank agents, has been
accompanied by SMALLER LOSSES in the ex-
perience under the system ofState banks in
this country, at their worst periods, and tin-
der. their severest calamities, than any other
kind of credit the Government has ever given
in relation to its pecuniary transactions.’

o:ith. If we include the whole present dues
to the Government from discredited banks,
at all times, and of all kinds, whether as de-
positories or ‘not, and embrace even counter-
feit bills. and every other species of unavail-
able funds in the Treasury, they will not
exceed what is due from two such firms.
Of aluiost 100 banks, notdepositories which
during all our wars and commercial embar-
rassments, have heretofore failed, in any part
ofthe Union, in debt to the Government, on
their bills or ‘otherwise, it will be seen by
the above table, (to which Mr. Flam refer-
red as annexed to the report) that the whole
of them, except seventeen, have adjusted
every thing which they owed. and that the
balance due from them, without interest, is
less than 332.000.’
‘ There, gentlemen New Lights of Q.uod-
libet,’ said Mr. Flam, when he had finish-
ed reading these extracts, ‘what can be ad-
ded beyond this certificate from the Secreta-
ry of {he value of our State banks .7 Even

nothing is left but the confession that, in all

enemies. has been but the ebullition of dis-
appointed ambition and ypeevish discontent.
Are you willing. I ask to see this glorious
system prostrated to the earth ?’
‘ No l’ was again the general cry.
‘ Are you content to see your cherished
banks stripped of the confidence of the Gov-
ernment?’ '
‘ No—never-—never l’ shouted the New
Lights, to a man. _ _ ' __
‘ Then gentlemen Quodlibetarians, radii
of the New Lights, you have justified all
my hopes. Your applause rewards all my
who says any thing pretty to me; and there
are but few in this world who would scorn
to marry for money.’
‘ I believe so, Melissa; but your person
would be quite sufficient without fortune.’
‘ Thanks, coz; for a woman, that’s very
handsome of you. And so noiv we will be-
gin our new book.’ ;
Nine Pence.—It is not often that you hear
an Editor quarrelling with ‘ stnall change,’
but we lieartily wish that every nine-pence
and fourpence half penny in the United
States was cast into a fiery furnace and put
into a shape to be coined into dimes and half
dimes. VVhy it is that a nation as intellec-
tual as we pretend to be, and that has a legal
currency of its ‘own with devices for its own
coins. should still use the old fashioned span-
ish ninepennv bits, is more than we can ac-
count for. In the first place the system of
pounds, shillings and pence has long since
exploded. And in the next place the actual
worth ofa ninepenriy hit in silver, is only
eleven cents. or eleven and a half, and yet
we are compelled to take them and make
them go fortwelve and a half. It is not right.
We wish the board oftrade, or the brokers,
or Congress, or some other mighty power
would resolve that they should pass for only
ten cents! They would then follow the
track of the old pistareen, and we should
have our own coin in use.—Ma.ine Farmer.
Wit loses its respect with the good what!
seen in company with malice; and to smile
at the jest which plants a thorn in another’s
breast, is to become a principal in the mic
chief.--Sizeridan.
