POETRY.
From the London Imperial Magrrzine.
ON PREACHING THE GOSPEL.
BY REV. JOSHUA
MARSDI-ZN.
“A workman that needetli not to be ashamed."
Paul.
He should not preach CHRIST, to put men to pain ;
ABOVE or BE)-‘ORE, ’tis labor in vain;
Bcrvrfartr or AGAINST them, to trifle or drive,
Nor yet to AMUSE them the preacher should strive.
Anon.
I would not AT the sinner preach,
To irritate his latent pride;
Or, by an arigry form of speech,
His litiliugs, sins, and weakness chide.
In tender love. 1 will embalrn
Reproof and pity where I can,
For love will always bear the palm,
It charms the heart, and melts the man.
‘ I would not preach ABOVE his head,
To ttiake him wonder at my wit;
Lest any leave the place unfed,
My labored style the cause ofit :
ABOVE him, let me always stand.
The teacher sltould exccll the taught :
Brit not so technically grand
As if his praise alone I sought.
I would not preach for MERE display
BEFORE the people to express
How cleverl cart show away
My handsome form and fine address:
\Vhat ! stand BE}-‘ORE my Maker Christ,
And hardly let the Lord be seen;
Aloft my own proud banner hoist,
And HIDE the cross behind a screen‘?
Nor would I preach BI-‘.!\’I-Z.-\'l‘l-I his par,
Sltew less of reading, zeal and wit,
A tiovice at the critic’s bar,
For pulpit utastersliip mifit;
In office high and talent low,
Of every one the sheer and jest.
And only like a fire-fly glow,
\Vlien I might shine a star confest.
AGAINST them I would seldom preach—-
A wounded -pirit who can bear’!
But rather heal with soothing speech,
Than drive them onward to dispair;
\Vli:tt, put the sitirier on the rack!
And to the brink of madness urge,
As ifmy sermons stole the black
Of gloomy hell, :1 scorpion scourge’!
I would not to AJIUSE thcrri strive,
\Vitli comicalities of'st_yle :
O1‘ in the depth of huuior dive,
To court a grin, or won a smile :
The pulpit is a solemn place,
And no meridian for a joke;
Iii Paul I uothiiig witty trace,
VVeigbty were all the words he spoke.
I would not FOR the people shape
A course to south a curious ear,
Tnrii Proteus, scar-arnoucli, or ape,
And round and round the compass veer.
Still I would seek to please and move
By every means within my power,
And candy liarsher truth in love ;
A crabbed priest is sure to sour.
To saint and siiincr let me preach,
As one cotiitnissioned from above ;
And where the law has tnade a breach,
Repair it with the balm of love:
Like Moses. meek-like Jesus, inild—
And, digiiifietl without offetisc,
Treat cvcry sinuera s a child.
VVith tender-lieartcd eloquence.

difficult and darigterotis, and in every exigen-
cv; he was t-’tlllflf:'lll as a warrior; he was
t-inint-rit as a Slalvstlltln; he was not inf:-rior
as a scholar; he was exemplary as a chris-
tain; his public career was peculiarly grave
and dignilietl, and his private life was beati-
tifril. He was not, like most others, the pro-
ducl of peculiar and favorable circumstances,
ht: would have been great tinder almost any
circutnsttirict-s; he was not greater in public
life than in rctircrrit-oi; he was every where

benefit ofsorne Congnzssmcrr. we give the fol

the ‘good natured man.’ whom Miss Sedgwiclt
tllalieslo speak her sen tmeuls, is a looker on at
ilie office ;
. ‘Tiiatls mine l’ exclaimed Rosy, in voltm-
tarily, as she recogiiiserl the hand at the first
gl -use at the superscripture. She blushed
at the sound of her own raised voice, and ex.-
tt-ritled llt‘l‘ English shilling, her ‘love token,’
her hand trembling with ertgerucss-—
‘Not so f.ist, stvcatheart,’ said I’:-tcr. this is

An.l you must walk six miles back with-

cash, no lcllcl‘, is the rule b re, every body
knows.’ and he was turning to replace the
letter in the grave Oftl pigiou~hole when
R tsy laid hold of his artti.
For the love of liertven. sir, said she, give
mc the letter; my old mother at borne is
petishing for news from Tlioma-, her young-
est, that was wrtsckr.-d in the Nam-y.’
And this letter comes from Toniiny, from

It comes frotrt one who may give us news
of him, said Rose with dignity, the color

the letter. Oh, please, sir letuie look at the
outside of it.

it, it devoured every letter, and tear‘ alter

one so gross as ii'igratitudr.- should be found;
