"With a mind unshackled by bigotry, prejudice or party, she exercised her intellectual faculties" on the subject of religion, and "acquired, by the aid of reading and reflection, enlarged and enlightened views of Christianity, unadulterated by superstition or enthusiasm." And her moral appears to have corresponded to her mental character. Mr. Jervis has here paid an appropriate and affectionate tribute to both.

THIS
HIS is an excellent compendium
of doctrine and duty. Mr. Hig-
ginson connects sound faith with moral
practice; and we are equally pleased
with his correct delineation of an evan-
gelical creed, and his earnest enforce-

ment of Christian virtue.

ing fashionable amongst the clergy to revive the claims of the Blessed Martyr. One would conclude, from certain recent publications issuing from Lambeth,* that a Stuart was still upon the throne. We are glad therefore to see such a reprint as this, which sets the character of Charles I. in its true light. The author expresses himself strongly, but he brings home to that unhappy prince the charges of tyranny and perfidy. Such as wish to see more on the same side, may consult an Essay of Mr. Towgood's in his Tracts, pub lished by Mr. Flower, and a Sermon of Dr. Mayhew's in Vol. II. of "The Pillars of Priestcraft."

POETRY.

MATIN AND VESPER HYMNS.

Tuesday Morning.

The stars have sunk in yon concave blue;
And the sun is peeping thro' the dew;
Thy spirit, Lord! doth nature fill!
Before Thee angels' tongues are still,
And seraphs hush their golden strings
In Thy bright presence, King of kings!
How then shall I, a clod of clay,
Lift up my voice, or tune my lay?

Then Thy sun would seem to wear
His festival robes of beauty rare,
And all creation, glad and gay,
Revels as in a holiday.

Lord! Thou hast thunders--but they sleep;

Storms-but they now their prisons keep;
Nothing is breathing below, above,
But the spirit of harmony, joy and love,
Nothing is seen or heard around
But beauty's smiles or music's sound;
Music re-echoed in earth and air,
Beauty that's visible every where-
Join the concert-share the joy,
Why should the cares of earth alloy

Thou who the realms of space and Pleasures which Heaven itself has given,

time

Dost people with Thy might sublime;
Whose power is felt, below, above,
Felt in Thy wisdom, in Thy love;
Whose awful voice is heard around,
Heard in its silence as its sound;
Whose kindly Spirit doth pervade
Alike the sunshine and the shade;
Whose mercy shines in sorrow's night
As brightly as in pleasure's light ;
Thou, in the evening's silence deep,
Cradled the weary world in sleep,
And with the morning's dawning beauty
Awakes it to the call of duty.

"Tis Thou who o'er the billowy sea
Dost ride in awful majesty;
Walkest alone on the winds,

greetest

and

The spirit of day, when fairest and

sweetest

It fills the bosom of nature with bliss
In moments as calm and holy as this.
"Tis then we see Thee, in light arrayed,
Dissipate all the twilight's shade,
Tuning the music of the bee,
Painting the flower's variety,
Waking the thousand smiles that are
playing

On morning's cheeks,- - and sweetly straying

With the mild breeze over hill and plainTurning to gold the autumnal grain; Giving the rose its blushing hue; Changing to diamonds drops of dew: Calling the vapours from the main ; Scattering them o'er the earth again.

Then it is that nature's throng Join the joyous, general song, Then Thy spirit seems brighter, clearer, Then Thy voice speaks softer, nearer,

Heavenly pleasures which lead to heaven? A.

Tuesday Evening.

The earth again puts on its evening robes;

And, wakened by the innumerable stars,
A twilight, milder than the eye of day,
And fairer than the ungilded night, is
spread

O'er universal nature: from above
Shadows descend, solicitous to veil
The sins of the reposing world—to
soothe

Hearts beating with anxiety-to lull Ambition's tumults-and to quench the thirsts

Of greedy avarice, and impede the steps Of wantonness that crowns its head with thorns.

The perjured tongue-the rapine-scheming head

The murderous hand-the vile and counterfeit heart

The eye that sheds false tears—thou, darksome night,

Veil, in thy charity! Be the o'er-arching tomb,

Tho' for a moment, to the mass of sin Which morn, alas! will wake again, and

day

Let loose, like bandits, on the unsheltered world!

And O! if in the visions of the night Some angel might descend-an cloquent

voice

Be heard in the still silence, to recall Those wanderers to the fold of blessed

uess!
