THE BIBLE.
WRITTEN OR X BL1KK LEAF OF ONE PRESENTED TO
A FRIEND. J
What light breaks on a darkened world
From these resplendent leaves unfurled !
The opening eye-lids of the morn
Shed no such beams on hill or lawn.
And angel bending from the skies.
Heralds the volume as it flics;
Happy the nation that receives
With outstretched hands the dropping loaves!
Thrice happy each heaven-quickened heart
That learns and loves the glorious chart;
'Tis hope to ago and strength to youth
To weakness faith to darkness truth
'Tis gentle rain 'tis sparkling dew
The mind to cleanse refine renew;
'Tis lightning fierce and thunder deep
To startle conscience from its sleep.
The shaft from this full quiver sent
In twain hath many a bosom rent;
A drop of balm from this rich store
Hath healed the broken heart once more.
Learning and zeal from age to ngc
Have worshipped loved explored the page:
Martyrs in its defence have died
Or torments woreo than death defied.
Like angols round a dying bed
Its truths a heavenly radiance shed;
And hovering on celestial wings.
Breathe music from unnumbered strings.
O now thou word divinely fair
A message of soft mercy bear:
Peace to my friend heart peaco be given
And ltght to guide her soul to heaven.
From the N. O. Delta.
The Ranger's Song.
Am '-I'm Afloat."
Mount! mount! and away o'er the green prairie
wide
The sword is our sceptre tho fleet steed our
pride;
Up! up! with our flag lot its bright star gleam
out
Mount! mount! and away on the wild border-
scout. Wo care not for danger we heed not the foe
Where our brave steeds can bear us right on-
ward we go
And never as cowards can we flv from tho fiVlit
While our belts bear a blade our star sheds its
light.
Then mount and away! give tho fleet steed the
rein
The Ranger's at home on the prairies again;
Spur! spur in the chase dash on to the fiirht.
Cry vengeance for Texas! and God speed the
right.
Tho might of our foe gathers thick on our way
They hear our wild shout as wc rush to the frav;
What to us is the fear of the death-stricken
plain
We have "braved it before and will brave it
again."
The death-dealing bullets around us mav fall
They may strike they may kill but they can-
not appal;
Through the red field of carnage right onward
we'll wade.
While our guns carry ball and our hands wield
the blade.
Hurrah my brave boysj ye may fare as ye please
No Mexican banner now floats in the breeze!
'Tis the Fag of Columbia that waves o'er each
height
While on its proud folds our star sheds its light.
L.
HYMN OF THE ALAMO.
Air "Marseilles Hymn?
BV R. M. rOTTEH.
Rise man the wall our clarion's blast
Now sounds its final reveille;
This dawning morn must be the last
Our fated band shall ever see.
To life but not to hope farewell
Your trumpet's clang and cannon's peal
And storming shout and clash of steel
Is our but not our country's knell.
Welcome the Spartan's death
'TiB no despairing strife
We fall we die but our expiring breath
Is Freedom's breath of life."
Here on this new Thermopylae
Our monument shall tower on high;
And "Alamo" hereafter be
In bloodier fields the battle-cry."
Thus Travis from the ramparts cried;
And when his warriors saw the foe
Like whelming billows move below
At once each dauntless heart replied
"Welcome the Spartan's death
'Tis no despairing strife
We fall we die but our expiring breath
Is Freedom's breath of life."
They come like Autum's leaves they fall
Yet hordes on hordes they onward rush
With gory tramp they mount the wall
Till numbers the defenders crush.
The last was fell'd tho fight to gain
Well may the ruffians quake to tell
How Travis and his hundred fell
Amid a thousand focmen slain.
They died the Spartan's death ;
But not in hopeless strife
Like brothers died; and their expiring breath
Was Freedom's breath of life.
EFFECTS OF PRAYER.
A woman came to Halle one day 'and
Mid to Agustus Hermann Frnnke that it
was as possible that the steeples should fall
prostrate as that she should lay down Iter
hatred to her mother-in-law who had so
abused and outraged her that she could
Barer he reconciled. Franke replied '4I
at met surprised at your words as I am
persuaded that you are not able to recon-
cile yourself to your mother-in-law. You
he able only if you implore God's
to do it. And now from my heart 1
yea to promise me that vou will pray to
Gad for a forgiving temper.'1 The woman
owM att refuse. Some days after she re
turned and said "Now I will go and be
reconciled to my mother-in-law." She did
so. Her own pastor asked her why she
had not done so before. She replied "You
admonished me to be reconciled but did not
tell me how to get a forgiving spirit by
praying to God.
Philip James Spencer had a son of emi-
nent talents but perverse and extremely
vicious. All means of love and persuasion
were without success. The father could
only pray which he continued to do that
the Lord' God might be pleased to save his
son at any time and in an' way. The son
fell sick: and while lying on his bed in dis
tress of mind nearly past the power of
speech or motion he suddenly started up
clasped his hands and exclaimed "My fath-
er's prayers like mountains surround mc!"
Soon after his anxiety ceased a sweet
peace spread over his face his malady
came to a crisis and the son was saved in
body and soul. He became another man.
Spencer lived to see his son a respectable
man in public office and happily married.
Such was the change of hisjifb after his
conversion.
SANCTIFICATION.
A friend of Archbishop Usher's suppos-
ing that he had approximated very near to
a state of sancliflcation and was therefore
more experimentally acquainted with its
nature than almost any other Christian of
his age very earnestly solicited him to
give his views on that subject in print.
Usher promised to comply with his friend's
wishes but some time having elapsed with
out his doing it his friend charged him with
remissness in the performance of his en-
gagements. The archbishop answered
that he could not plead guilty to the
charge for the non-fulfilment of his prom
ise had not arisen from neglect; but the
more he had contemplated the subject the
. J . ! i
more he discovered how very circumscribed
his knowledge of it was and lie couicsscd
himself totally inadequate to the task aF-
shnicd him. 4Mcn." said he "little under-
stand what sanctilication and the new
creature mean; it is no less than for a man
to be brought to an entire resignation of
his own will to the will ot uod and to live
in the offering up his heart continually in
the flames of love as a whole burnt offer-
ing to Christ."
THE THRONE OF GRACE.
If vou arc a Christian the throne of
grace is yours. Your father is seated on
it. Your Saviour has sprinkled it with his
own blood. The Holy Spirit draws vou
secretly to kneel before it ; and the promise
when there is "Open your mouth wide
and I will lill it.' What an honor to ap-
proach the King of Kings! Were wc to
have an audience with an earthly monnrch
wc should deem it an era in our history
and boast of it through our life. But you
and I and others may have audience with
the King of the universe; nay wc have
liberty to approach him at any time and
under any circumstances. Have we wants?
lie can supply them. Arc wc in trouble?
He can extricate us. Do afflictions press
bur souls? He can mitigate and remove
them. Does sin pollute our joys? With
him is the fountain of elensing. Docs
Saten vex our souls? He invites us to his
arms as our refuge. AH relief and every
blessing and every comfort is from God.
Saltillo. The following description of
this place is from the Correspondence of the
Picayune Nov. 23d:
I will give you a few descriptive lines of
this place which is pleasantly situated on
an inclined plane at the foot of a very steep
hill of sufficient height to command a fine
view of the town. Some portions of it are
beautiful the houses constructed with a
good deal of taste particularly those around
the main plaza while those in the suburbs
though well constructed for comfort have
a desolate appearance being built of the
sun baked brick. The cathedral by far the
largest and most magnificent one in this
part of Mexico is yet unfinished. It is too
rich for any description of mine to do jus-
tice to. It is divided in two apartments in
each of which is an altar made entirely of
silver. Gilt brass and bronze work inter-
spersed with images and all sorts of orna
ments covers the entire wall in the rear of
the altars. Beautiful oil paintings statues
and rich carved ornaments of every de-
scription decorate the building. There are
two cupolas with nine bells in each and
the yard in front is decorated with fine ce-
dar trees. The plaza in front is also hand-
somely arranged with fine trees around it.
In the centre is a-fountain and reservoir
where those living in the vicinity of the
plaza get their water. There are two small
er churches in town but 1 have not vet vis
ited them. Our army is very well provid-
ed for in as comfortable quarters as the city
affords.
Loss of the Somers. The U. S. brig
Somcrs was capsized nearly within gun
shot of the Castle of San Juan de Ulloa by
a violent squall from the North on the 8th
inst at 9 o'clock P. M. The Somers went
to the bottom in 17 fathoms of water and
of the 39 supposed to be lost 16 drifted a-
shore one of whom died from exposure and
8 went ashore on hen coops near Vera Cruz
30 hours after and were made prisoners.
But for the great and humane exertions and
intrepidity of the English and French ves-
sels nearly every soul on board would have
been lost. Among the lost were Passed
Midshipmen John Ringgold Ilynson and
H. A. Clemsen both greatly regretted the
former having distinguished himself in cut-
ting out and burning Gal. News.
Their Sons. Maj Van Buren son of
the exPresident acted as aid to Gen. Tay-
lor at the siege of Monterey. John C.
Calhoun's son is aid to Maj. Gen. Gaines.
Henry Clay's so is Lt. Colonel of a regi-
ment of Kentucky volunteers. Daniel
Webster's son is captain of a company of
volunteers and will be in Mexico soon.
John J. Crittenden's son is captain in the
new regiment of mounted riflemen. '
