HARP OF JUDAH.
Hushed are the soft and plaintive strains,
That floated o’er I’takama’s wave;
The harp the prophet miustrel swept
Is silent as that minstre-l’s grave.
Once to high heflven the sacred pzcans tuna‘.-
For lic'v’nly praisetliy golden chords were strung
Soon passed the animating lay
That trembled on the _silentair,
Thy notes of triumph died away,
wholesale or retail, do. Silver Spoons as good as,
And echo breathes but sad despair.
In dust thy captive cltildren weep’,
Oh, God of Judah! dost thou sleep?
Holy and fervent was that sigh,
W akcd by the thoughts ofoilier days;
The herald angels passing by,
Upon the sorrowintz exile gazed-
Silertt drew near, their fortns concealing,
So humble, yet so pure the feeling.
Sweet harp of Judrtlt! breath once more,
Thy platiitivc sigh for Sion’s full;
The visions of thy glory o'er
The scenes of other days recall.’
IV-ake ! Judah, wake! from drt>amsofniglit—
And feel Iliy morning's cheering light.
Awake the triumphs ofthy lay,
For see the gloriousmorn appear-
The blusltes ofa brighter day-
The darkness of tlty mind to cheer.
Arise and shine !—thy night is o’er!—
Tlty sons sigh in chains no more!
Sion, from lowest depths of gloom...
Shall welcome Bethlehem’s rising star-
"Her desert wastes with verdure bloom-—
Her golden harp be heard afar!
Her songs of peace remotest nations "hear-
Her ransomed tribes with joyous shouts appear.
Again in Judah swells the song,
The choral notes break o'er the plain,
All J ordan’s shores the strains prol'ong—
‘Good will to .earth_,’ thy king doth reign!
On Salem's towers the cross divine,
Immanuel’: holiest symbols shine.

tance in tltclonc valley below, who lt'n?\\"
it ttot, to be a star in the sky. A britrltt
fire was in the kitchen of that small t:n-
ement; the floor was wasltcd, swept and
sanded, and not a footstep had marred its
perfect neatness; a small table was cov-
cred near the inglc, with a snow white
cloth, on which was placed a frugal eve-
ning meal ; and, in happy but in pensive
mood, sat there all alone, the \’Voodcut-

A feeble and ltesitating knock was heard
at the door, not lie tltc glad and joyful
touch ofa lover's hand! and, cautioiisly
opening it, l\’t'ary Robinson beheld a female
figure tvmpt in a cloa‘-, with ler fitcc con-
cealed in a black bonnet. The stranger,
whoever she m‘glit be, seemed wearied
and worn otit, and her feet bore witness
to a long d:iy’s travel across tltc mitrsliy

ded together in one sickening pang, fear,
disappointment, the sense of wrong, an I
the crttcl pain of disesteeming and despis-
ing one whom her heart had tested with all
its best and purest affections.
, But though there was a keen struggle
between many feelings in her heart, her
resolution was formed during that very
conflict ; and she said within ltcrself, ‘If
‘it be even so, neitltev will I be so unjust
as to deprive poor Sarah‘ of the man who
ought to rnarry her, nor willI be so mean

'not so sair! You surely have not walked
‘in this one day from the heart of the pa-

that it wanted only abqttt a quarter of an

Mary Robinson had led a happy life,
but a life of quiet thoughts, tranquil hopes,
and meek desires. Tenderly and truly
did she love the man to whom she was
now betrothed; but it was because she
thought him gentle, manly, upqglit, sin-
cere, and one that feared God. His_cbar-
acter was unimpeached,—to her his be-
havior had always been fond, affectionate
and respectful ; that he was a fine looking
man, and could show himself among the
best; of the country round, at, c,l,t;ur'o'_h,- apd

a blooming family cheered theirboard and

flower of the forest, (for so the wood cut‘-
ter’s daughter was often called,) pass her
life in single blessedness. She too became
a wife and a mother; and the ttvofamilies
who lived at last on adjacent farms, were
remarkable for mutual affection, through-
out all the parish; and more than one in-
termarriage took place between them, at
a time when the worthy parents had al-
most entirely forgot the trying incident of
-their youth.
