A FEW MOKE YEARS. A few more years and I shall lie lkneath the dark luxuriant sod; But though this tenement shall die, The soul shall wing her flight to God. A few more years and every grief Sliall'be extinguished in this breast, When deTtth will bring a sweet relief, And I shall find triumphant rest. A few more vears and all is o'er, Where cares and fears and sorrows rise; Rut, winged ith love, I'll pass the shore, And join the anthems in the skies. A few more years this glowing heart Shall cease it warm and throbbing beat; A few more years with earth I'll part, And worship at my Saviour's fect. A few more years and I shall sleep Upon a cold and silent bed; These ryes shall then forget to v eep. These limbs shall mingle with the (Tead. A few more years and I shall cease Through this wide wilderness to roam; Th'i blooming with immortal peace, vvi it' recall hi exile home. A f. -v more years and I shall mount, Tj bask in one eternal sun, And round me, life's celestial fount, In -v ci lasting circles run.

HARD TIMES. CONTINUED FROM LA'-T WF.FK It happened that a grandson ot our
blacksmith, alter having attempted to borrow a Utile money from divers of his own caste, whose pockels he lountl as empty as his own, at last ventured to make application to his Loid. Although his lordship had just been engaged in a slight clapperclawing with his wife, yet lie treated the request with politeness, nd answered as follows: "I have a lit tie money on hat.d, I believe, and should
round bits of metal, the people, like los inggamb!ers, grew more geedy a$ they progressed in the game. Avarice swallowed up cveiy other passion. Even the standing of men in society was no longer fixed by their talents and virtues, but by the number of their inund bits of metal. The man possessing only tighttenper.ee was excluded from all equal communion and fellowship with otic who was worth two shillings: there was an impassable gjlfof six and a quarter cent between them. Of the warfare against the power of round bits of metal commenced by the earlychristian and contioued by their sue cessors, I shall only say, that they seemed not aware of ils bugaboo natuie that they sttoveto prevent the lich, as they vvcie called, from cxertLag their supposed power, by thieatening them with verysevere treatment after death; that the practice of exacting rent for the use ol God's earth, was at most only partially discontinued; that although it was for
many centuries infamous and illegal to change Interest on mcney, the practice was legalized after the Reformation, and it is now more common among Chi istians than in the heathen land? around about them f There is one g,rcat obstacle opposed to the long continuance of the custom of allowing interest, viz: the interest of money must be paid in money. If the laborers were compelled to pay the rent of land, they would soon be forced to buy or
steal oher planets to pay their rent with. In like manner were the borrowers of

One portion of a nations's operatives would hire the other to go a ioldietmg, m.l out of blood thirt'ini s, but that they might have penty of work and high wagesthough it took more than all their extra work and extra wages to supply those who were to be shot at, with officers, horse-beef, and tye whiskey. But these fears seem less strange when we reflect, that the law books bad snipped them of all right to the use of the eai th, ami that they wei e consequently so entirely dependent on servitude for subsistence, that should God in his wrath transform this earth into a huge loaf o! bread, flawing with rivers of milk and honey, five sixth of civilized men must either steal cr starve. Another mode of getting rich was to vvoik from ten to sixteen hours a day with the hands, liut when we consider that the operatives generally were forced to work for such w ages as the owners ol deeds and of round bits of metal saw fit to bestow, or starve -and that, consequently, they could in general procure only a subsistence for the most intense

To c fleet this, our first Mep must be to compel the law-books to icstore the ownership of the eaith to its Creator. And as t4e reasons they rivc for taking away his title to this continent, in particular, are not only not so "plenty as blackbe rries," but not so much to the purpose, I trust my fellow citizens will not scruple to compel such restitution, not only from motives of policy, but also fioro their love of justice. It seems, according to the law books, thot ruany years ago certain European navigators sailed westward that when their ships ncared these shores, the rays of light were reflected from divers peaks points, and promontories to and upon the eyes of said ship master;; that in consequence of said reflection of said rays, the ownership of this continent was alienated Vy Almighty God, and vts!edin certain men living in Europe, whose
