Rmntirnl Hymn. When morning pours its golJen ray?, O'er hill and va'e, o'ereaith and sea, My heart unbidden swells in praise; Father of light and life, to thee! When night from heaven, steals darkly down, And throws its head o'er lawn and lea. My saddened spirit seeks thy throne. And bows in worship still to Thee! If tempests sweep the angry sky, Or sunbrams smile on flower and tree, If joys and sorrows dim the eye F.ither in heaven I turn ta thee!

The action of the whig National Convention at Philadelphia, and the nomination of Gen. Taylor shows that the delegates believed that a crisis had arisen in the history of the Whig party like that which existed in 1840. The question which presented itself on both occasions was not Who will we elect? but the opposite Who can we elect? and the decision was, we can elect

Gen Taylor was not my preference; but 1 believe him to be a true W hig, an honest and capable man, opposed to the acquisition of Texas, with sound aud conservative principles, opposed to further enlarging the boundaries of the Uuion; and, altli ongh he lives in the latitude where slavery is tolerated, yet I do not believe that he desiros or approves its extension. His declared sentimen ts are a guaranty that he will never in the slightest manner interfere with the actiou f Congress when it shall forbid the existence of slavers in our newly-acquired territories.

This is no doubt, a great grief of his Holiness, but having, for wily purposes, declared himself to be I a reformer, his subjects have taken him at his j word, and are determined to make him one. j England is fearful that this flight of locusts will settle on her soil. We have reason to fear that ( our own favored country will participate in the dieadful Uitalion, and be made a harbor for men, who from their dangerous principles have been ejected from the old world. No doubt, many will say, they can do no harm here. We are of a different opinion. They will work mischief wherever they are.

They melt in tims's destroying tide, And cold are while they stay ! But joys that from religion flow, Like stars that gild the night, Amidst the darkest gloom of wo, Smile forth with sweetest light. Religion's rays no clouds obscure. But o'er the christian's soul It sends its radiance calm aud pure.

South. Epitaph. No. 1. An Old Maid. Here lies a poor forlorn old maid, Whose charms, long e'er her death, decay'd ; Whole years in eolitud she sat, Forgot by all except her cat. In youth believe it she was fair, In wit, and grace, and beauty rare; A grave old bachelor was slain ! Who sought her hand and heart in vain. As she grew old, and lost her power, Her temper, wilh her age, grew sour; She scolded all her friends to death She's silent now, for want of breath. No 2. An Old Bachelor. Here lies the veriest wretch forlorn. Wounded by love and killed by scorn

The man that courted this old maid, Vheu in the charms of youth arrayed. He neither drank, nor chewed, nor smoked, Unknown through this dull world he pok'd W'ithout a dog, or cat, or wife, To cheer the loneliness of life. Scorned by the sex, he was not blind To any charm of woman kind; His soul is fled his sins forgiven He's wooing angels now in heaven. U A maiden a lady of forty, in reply to the ironical question why she did not enter into the holy state of matrimony, said: "Why, by waiting, I may get one of the best of husbauds;& if I get a bad one, I shall have reason to rejoice that I have not long to live with him."

Fint love. Our first love is pure and bright As the ruby's virgin ray, Or sunny burst of morning light That heralds in the day. Such love is timid soft as are The young leaves of a flower, Or faint beams of the morning star At evening's peaceful hour. Oh! 'tis a spell a fairy dream That sheds o'er after years A lustre like the rainbow's gleam Through floods of sparkling tears. Some riper love the heart may win. And seems as from above; But 'tis not free from guile and sin. Like our first and truest love!

(rT In a church yard in the north of England is this epitaph to one John Newton: "Here lies (alas) and more'a the pity, All that remains of John Newcity." To wh ich is attached the following "N.B. The man's name was Newton but it would not rhyme." Frtm the Xrm Vork Trtbunc. The Heart. Oh! could we read the Human Heart, Its strange, mysterious depths explore.

What tongue could tell or pen impart The riches of its hidden lore!

To always find a joyous heart; For Wit's bright glow, and Reason's flow Too often hide a cankering dart, The bird with bruised and broken wing. Oft tries to mount the air again, Among its mates to gaily sing Its last melodious dyiug strain. The fire that lights a flashing eye. May by a burning heart be fed, Which in its anguish yearns to die. While yet it seems to pleasure wed. Oh, do not harshly judge the heart, Though cold and vain it seems to be; Nor rudely seek the veil to part, That hides its deep, deep mystery.
