'See?t thou where Jordan's flood receives The blue and b.-ndin-j sky ? lio trace the passing; zephj r leave0, So calm its deep waves lie.

"They itood, where man had never trod, A lona:, embattled line, The warriors of the living God, In panoply divine. "There, shining mid war's legions dark, Like the moon's silvery sheen, Bearing the consecrated ark, The anointed band was seen. 4Thc glvry of the Lord they held High o'er the water's side, While prayer in one deep chorus swelled AboTe the sound of tide. ''Onward they went these holy men The hosts of Israel shook, When rolling back, the billows then Their ancient bed forsook ; "And murmuring rose, in liquid walls, By myriad rainbows arched, While tliron;h the deep nntravellcd halls, The adoring army marched. "At length the bands of Israel met On Gilcal's palmy shore Still, 'mid the waves unckillcd,unwetr The Priests their burden bore.

"Bright, through the watery columns, gleamed

The golden ark, whose blaze Reflected hack the light which streamed From heaven, with tenfold rays. "A break the sun through parting cloudT That ark of glory shone, And still the anthem sweet and loud Rose to Jehovah's throne. "Then from the channel dry and bare,The chieft of Irarl rolled

A MISTER'S JLOVL:. There is no purer feeling kindled upon the altar of human aflections, than a sisler's pure, uncontaminated love for her brother. It is unlike all other affections; so disconnected with selfish cnsuality; so feminine in its de-

velopement; so dignified, and yet, with all, so fond, so devoted. Nothing can aller it, nothing can suppress it. The world may revolve, and its evolutions effect changes in the fortunes, in the character, and in the disposition of the

brother, yet if he wants, whose hand

will so speedily stretcli out as that of

us sister ; and if his character is malign

ed, whose voice will so readily swell

in his advocacy. JSext to a mothers

unquenchable love, a sister's is pi e-eminent. It rests so exclusively on the

ties of consanguinity for its sustenance, it is so wholly divested of passion, and

prings lrom such a deep recess in the

uiman bosom, that when a sister once

fondly and deeply regards her brother,

that affection is Mended witn her existence, and the lamp that nourishes it

expires only with that existence. In all the annals of crime it is considered something anomalous to find the hand

of a sister raised in anger against her

brother, or her heart nurturing the

case, he fastened the snake to a stone and left it near the road not far from his house. On Sunday, (the next morning) about 10 o'clock, as some of Mr. Ashton'a family were walking in the garden they discovered a large black snake near the house, within a few feet of the place where the dead snake had been drawn ;

as near where it was lying as the live one could get without crossing the road

where people were constantly passing.-

They killed it, and on comparing it with

the one first killed, the two were so alike in size and appearance, a3 lo leave no doubt of their being mates, it being difficult to distinguish one from

the other.

Mr. 13. wa3 led to the foregoing ex

periment by the following remarkable

occurrence.

Mr. Brown states, that he killed

black snake about a year before, drag

ged turn home in a similar manner and threw him under the wall near where he worked. The next day Mr. B. with several other men saw the dead snake coiled up with a living one of similar size and appearance, which one of the company shot. Lynn Record.
