BY REV.
I
The panting doe. long chased by httngryhounrls
Through dismal wilds. beneath a sttltry noon.
Thirsts for a stream, with sad complaining
sounds. .
And quick must die unless she. find one soon.
So pants my thirsting soul for thee, Great God,
\Vhile in this wiltlerness Isi,r_th.t'or rest ;
O that the Rock smote by the prophet's rod,
May send its streams. and make me truly blest;
The healing water that shall oft refresh,
And cleanse, and all my journey follow me;
Till Tlay down this cottage ofthe flesh,
And Zion reach. appearing behore thee.
That hour (0 speed it on 3) will soon arrive,
Though dangers HOW elwtttnpasg all my ways,
\Vhen in thy presence. I shall ever live.
And from thy fullness drink,tvith endless praise.
FEAR.
Alas l I sigh, T weep the livelong dav,
Nor doth the niglttjoy to my pillow bring;
Tears are my food while taunting scoffcrs say
Where is thv God? Where is thy heavenly
King’!
Look back, my soul. and weep the bitter past,
Sigh o'er thejoys that once were thine now fled.’
The sky of hope dark clouds have overcast,
And in thy gloom. its beaming lights are dead.
FAITH.
But bush my fears! my soul,why thus cast
down I
Look up and bid each anxiotts care depart :
Be not rlisntnyetl ; let foes still fiercelv frown.

Yet hope in God, who lends the sun his beam.
To whom the gloomiest night shines astheday,

The morning orb shall chase dtiu gloom away.
Hope thou in Gud,and thou shall praise him too.
Short is the night, celestial day is long,
Triumphant grace shall bear thee safelytltrottgh
And highest heaven thy song of praise prolong.
FEAR.
Night follows day, so fear doth followltnpe,
Sunshine and cloud, alternate rule the day.
Darkness and light, both throned on heaven's
' high cope.
Now mark a shining. now a dismal way.
Afarl wander from my home above,
Looking through tearsto the bright land ofres-‘.;
Distance nortime cart spoil my heart of love,
Nor drive fontl recollections from my breast.
l'm like the bark foss’d on the boist'rous main,
\tt7t,en snnntling biilows to each other cry,
Anrl to the wild encounter leap ; in vain
The vent'rous sailor plies his skill : the sky
Scourged by the madtl’niug tempest, howls aloud,
The sea, in every cltasm. opes a grave :
Arrows of fire Death shakes from every cloud ;
O whence may succor come? VVhat arm can
save? ‘

Peace. peace, be still !’ Look, on the sunlit sea I
Soft breathes the zephyr. every wave is hushed;
Those heavenly words I hear addressed to me,
My darkness flies, and every fear is crushed.
Come Peace, anti make thy dove cote in my

My song shall rise with mom, nor cease at noon
And as the night-bird’s lay_doth ch~.-er his rest,
Shall be in praise prolonged, nor die as soon.

My God ! my Ruck ! hast thou forgotten me?
Pensive, I wander; weeping and alone;
0 pluck the dart, hurled by my enemy.

Adieu my fears! my soul why thus depressed ?
Look up, and bid each trembling doubt begone,
And calmly sink again to quiet rest,-
Thy God who made the light, commands the

Yea, hope in God, who lends the sun his beam,
To whom the gloomiest night shines as the

See on you bill.e'en new the dawning gleam,
The morning orb shall chase dun gloom away.

a famous blrtc.7.'/eg, who was only baiting
and making more sure of his victim. The

for she believed that it
was impossible for so good a husband to do
wrong. Tbtts was she happy in the rate. of
her two children, a beatttifttl boy and a girl.
and seldom wept, save when she thought of
the cruelty of her father. Her husband's
increasing fortune and respectability, healed
tltg+'wottnd of her disobedience, and she
looked forward to years of calm tranquility
and pleasure. But. alas ! how soon are our
fflgflt-‘Si. hopes and brighest anticipatiorts
l)l:lSIf'(I- ’
For several days Caroline had noticed a
cloud gathering on the brow of hitn, whose
sligb.--st grief was an agony to her. She
sought to know the cause. but he pursuaded
berltbat it was her own fancy, in her anxie-
ty for his happiness, yet be sighed in his
slenp, and mournfully mentioned the loved
name of Caroline. Three nights after he
came home at midnight, deeply intoxicated,
and informed his wife that he had lost every
dollar in his possession. Caroline who had
been \\'2‘lIClllI'|g over the cradle of her child,
Sprung to her feet with an agonized look,
and cried ont—-‘Oh! the curse of my father
is upon us,’ and sunk ttpon the floor senseless.
\Vbat pen may depict the agonies that were
then working in. the soul of Frank as be
gazed upon hi's""beat;tifttl and injured wife,
and thought of the babes be bad beggared!
Now, indeed, he saw andift-lt the gradual
force of "habit, though too late,for desperation
urged ihimto drink it over his ruined wife,
whose sorrbws he had occasioned by it.
Two years of intemperancu and gaming
passed away,-an~'l Frank saw himself strip-
ped of every thing he possessed, and his
wife‘, the beautiful Caroline, pining away in
grief. So long as her own labor, which
was often urged beyond her strength, could
maintain her family, she refrained from ask-
ing help from her father. She was now
removed from the large building her hus-
band had erected in happier days, to a mean
ltovcl, and soon found herself forsaken by
all those who had once visited her. Frank
had become a sot, careless alike of every-
thing but the goblet and the gaming table.
Every thing he could sell, was sold to grati-
fy his thirst and passion for gaming, even
to the gold watch which Caroline had once
received as a present from her father. He
borrowed her hard-earned pittance which
should have fed her starving children, and
drank and played it away without remorse.
‘I will take this gold ring and necklace to
thejewellers,’ said Frank, one evening, ‘and
with the money procure some food and
clothing for the children.’
Caroline burst into tears; for the ring
her husband had given her on the night he
prevailed upon her to fly with him, and the
necklace wasthe darling legacy of her saint
ed mother, which she intended, in like man-
ner, to leave her daughter. Frank stagger-
ed out to the jeweller, while the unhappy
Caroline knelt down by the side of her
child’s cradle, and wept and prayed alter-
nately for her husband’s return to virtue.
Long she waited for his return; but she
tvaited in vain. Hehad received half the
value ofthe jewels and determined to risk it
on a game, after having spent a portion for
liquor.- His children at home, who had
been sleeping, from hunger awoke, and

drank still more frequently, and often visited;
‘Tbe fate of ‘Frank is soon told.
‘When I pronounced a curse upon your
disobedience,’ said the father , ‘I bade you
never cross the threshold of my house. I
sufficiently warned you ofthe consequences,
ere you gave your hand to a worthless
scoundrel, and now I bid you go and starve
for you are no longer my child, and shall
never receive one fartbing frotu tne. Go.’
Caroline’s pale cheek kindled at the epi-
thet of wort/L/ess srournzlrel, but grief for her
children subdued the impulse of her heart,
and she was proceeding again to implore her
father, in the name of God, in the name of
her dear mother, and of her own children.
when Churchill rang the bell voilently for
n servant to conduct her out. Caroline rose
and weeping convulsive went out to return
to her suffering children, that had lasted all
dav. » '
1 Thank God, there are few such fathers,’
said a gentleman who had been standing at
the window; ‘ if you will accept it, madam
here is a sufiiciency for your cbildrcn’s wants
at present. -
This gentleman was Dick. the water
drinker, and old friend of Frank. He had
loved Caroline himsr-lf. Dick had led a so-
ber life, and was on the high road to fortune
and respectability. Though Caroline bad
l‘t‘jt‘-‘..'_',I€‘-(I his addresses he pitied her, and used
every means to restore her husband and ren-
der her happy. Every means, however,
failed; and Caroline through poverty and
grief wasted away. One day in November
:1 number of officers entered their but in
search of her husband. Despair in a nio-
ment seized her, for she feared the worst.—-

forging the signatu re of Caroline.-’s father, to
:1 considerable amount ; and that they had
come to arrest him. At this rnotnent the
silver cord snapped, and Caroline became a
broken hearted wife. She swooned away,
fell into the cradle, and when a neighbor
came in and raised her, it was found that
her young child had p_'erisbed beneath her
weight. She was con“\Tcyed to bed, where
she lay for a long time the picture of death.
Frank was arrested in a gambling room.
with his money before him, and conveyed
to prison. Caroline came to her senses and
discovered that, unconsciously, she‘ had (le-
stroyed her child. The !I9.\1;_l..,m0Tnll1g it
was found that sbeV:b,a‘d'fin"t_be night risen,
crawled to the corfise child, and died.
Her arms were enfoTdcd‘round it, and her
lips pressed upon those of berucbild. Thus
perished the heart br.o,ken_.moth_ei', a victim
to moderate drirtltirtg. ‘ When Churchill
heard the affecting sfory of his daughter’s
death, all the father came upon him ; and
over her lifeless form he \-.'ept—but wept in
vain. The beautiful creature had ceased to
suffer. Many a tearful eye was seen at the
grave of the heart broken mother and her
child. Many a father looked on and sighed.
He linger-
ed out a few miserable years in the peniten-
tiary, stung by retnorse and galled by regret.
He had ever loved Caroline, but habit fixed
her chain upon him, and he found it hard
to break. A lock of Caroline’s hair was
the only memento he had of her in prison.-—
He died with it in his hand. Remorse cut
hitn offin early life.
Churchill, as an atonement for his cruelty
took the boy Caroline left, with the deter-
mination of educating, him. and to lead him
in a path more happy than that which his
father had trod. The convict sleeps in the
same yard with Caroline.

The following anaylsis of the characters of
two of the most distinguished Patriots of the
Revolution, is from the October number of the
New York Review. It is written with the bantl
of a master. - .
‘ It were indeed :1 bold task to venture to
draw into comparison the relative merits of
Jay and Hamilton, on the fumes or fortunes
of their cottntry—:t bold task-—and yet. bold
as it is. we fetl ‘impelled to before closing, at

for who would venture therein to assign to
either the su ,eriority ; yet. was that attach-

ent iu kind; with Hamiltgn.it was a st-nti.

enthusiastic passion, with Jay" duty as well
as love—with Hamilton patriotism was Illt'
paramount law, with Jay at lil\V ‘sub g‘t‘a.viori

fire and water to do his country service, and
lay down his life freely for her safety, Hum-

that of it st>ldier—-.T:ty’s that of a dChristian.
Of the latter it might be truly sni —
‘ Conscience made him firm.

In intt-llet-tttal power, in depth. and grasp,

splendid and brilliant parts which captivate

would have taken Hamilton to plan a gov-

and. in a court of law we would have had
Hamilton for ottr advocate, if our cause were
generous. and Jay for Judge, if our cause
were Just.
'l‘_be fame of Hamilton, like his parts, we
deem to shine brighter and farther than Jay,
but we are not sure that it should be so, or
rather we are quite sure that it should not.
For when we come to examine and com-
pare their relative courses. and its bearing
on the country and its fortunes, the reputa-
tion of Hamilton we find to go as far beyond
his practical share in it, as .Tay’s falls short
of his. Hamilton's civil official life was a
brief, and single though brilliant one. Jav’s
numbered the years ofa generation, and ex-
hausted every department of diplomatic, civil
andjurlicialtrust. In fidelity to their coun-
try both were pure to their heart’s core ;—
yet was Hamilton loved, perhaps more than
trusted, and Jay trusted perhaps. more than
loved.
Such were they, we deem, in differing, it
not contrastedpoints of character. Their
lives too, when viewed from a distance,
stand out in equally striking but much more
painful contrast. Jay's viewed as a whole
has in it a completeness of parts such as the
nicer critic demands for the perfection of an
epic pcem, with its beginning of promise, its
heroic middle, and its peaceful and. and par-
taking, too somewhat ofthe same cold state-
liness—-noble, however, still and glorious,
and ever pointig, as such poem does, to the
stars. ‘ Sic iter ad rrstta.’ The life of
Hamilton on the other hand, broken and
fragmentary, begun in the darkness of ro-
mantic interest running on into the sympa-
thy of all high passion, and at length break-
ingofl in the midst, like some hzilftold tale
of sorrow, amid tears and blood, even as does
the theme of the tragic poet. The name of
Hamilton, therefore, was a name to conjure
witb—th.-it of Jay's to swear by. Hamilton
had his frailities arising ottt of passion, as
tragic heroes’ have. Ja_v’s name was fault-
less and. his course passionless, as becomes
the epic leader, and in point of fact. was
while living, a name at_ which frailty blush-
ed antl corruption trembled.
If we ask whence, humanly speaking,
came such disparity of the fate between
equals, the stricter morals, the happier life,
the more peaceful death, to what can we
trace it but to the healthful power of reli-
gion over the heart and conduct ! Was not
this we ask, the ruling-‘secret .' Hamilton
was a Christian in his youth. and a penitent
Christian, we doubt not, on his ‘dying bed;
but Jay was ti Christian, so far as man may
judge, every day and hour of his life. He
bad btit one rule’ the Gospel of Christ ; in
that he was nurtured-ruled by that, through
grace he lived--rest-ing on that, in prayer,

A pool‘ fe.ll0\V who had spent several
ltuntlretl dollars at the bar of a certain grog-
ery, being one day faint and feeble and out
of cliange, asked the landlord to trust him
with a glass of liquor, ‘No,’ was the surly
reply, ‘ I never make a practice ‘of doing
such things.’ The poor fellow tttrncd to a.
gentleman who was sitting by, and whom
he had known in his better days, saying,-—
‘ Sir, will you lend me a sixpence '1’ » ‘Cer-
t'rtlttl_V.’ was the reply. The landlord with
alacrily placed the decanter and glass before
him: He took a. pretty good horn, and
having swallowed it and replaced the glass
with evident satisfaction, he turned to the

The Correspondent ofthe New York Journ-
al of Commerce under date of Philadelphia,
April 12, 1842, writes as follows:
We h id here to-day one ofthe grandest dis-
plays among the Temperance men that was
ever exhibited irt this city. All the various
societies of the city and the surrounding dis-
tricts, were out in large numbers with ban-
ners, flags, badges, ntusic and other para-
phernalia of a grand parade. It has been
qtfffe a holiday here, and the streets all dav
long crowded with a dense mass of our citi-
zens, old and young, male and female. The
procession was about three quarters of an
‘hour passing any given point, and the num-
ber who participated in it I have heard esti-
mated at from twelve to fifteen thousand!
Tim MISSOURI —A letter from an oflicer
of the steam frigate Missuori. dated 4th inst.
gives the following intelligible account of the
manner in which Lt. Borden and fifteen men
connected with that ship lost their lives.
“The anchor was weighed between the
launch and life boat, and the chain coiled
away in the bottom of the launch, and under
the supcrintendence of Lt. Bordon, Midship-
man Renshaw and the Boatswain. , After
they had gone about two hundred yards
ztstern of the ship. and while paying out the
chain in twenty fathoms water, preparatory
to letting go the anchor, the heavy cable
chain began to run out with such tremendious
force that it carried the gunwale of the
launch under water. All hands sprang for
the life boat, but she being lashed" to the
launch, was likewise carried down by the
combined weight of an anchor and men;
and in ti moment about twenty five officers
and seamen were struggling, and many
vainly for their lives.” — I
A Smashing Bwsiness.—It is estimated by

ten thousand dollars a day, exclusive of the
compensation received from the British Gov-
ernment for carrying the tnails. . The gross
yearly loss, at this rate, will bethree millions
and a ' half. The Government stipend is
about one million: leaving two and a half
millions net loss annually. .Tbese steamers
