POETRYo
The Den (I.
The dead arc evprywheic !
Thf! mountains Mile, thp plainjthc wand
profound;
All ihe wide earth- (lie ferlilc find the Mr.
Is oi.e vast l)iirinl ground!
Wiiliin ihe populous stiept,
In Military homes; in placps high,
In pleasuic dumps wheiepomp and luxury
meet,
Men bow ihein-'f I virs to die,
The old man at his door:
The nnwpanpd child in urimiritig its world
Ipss song:
The bondman and the frep, the rich, the
poor;
'All, all to death belong!
The sunlight gilds the walls
Of kingly sepulchres en wrought with
brass;
And the long shadow of rhe cypress falls
Athwart the common grass.
The living of gone times
Huilded their glorious pities by the sea.
And awful in their greatnps sat sublime,
As if no change could be.
There was the eloquent tnngup,
The poet's heart, the sage's soul was
there:
And loving women with their children
young.
The faithful and the fair:
They were, but they are not;
buns rose ami set, andcirlh put on her
hlnoin,
Whilst mill, submitting to the common
lot,
Went down into the tomb.
And still amid the wrecks
Of mighty generations passed away,
Earth's booties! growth, the fragrant wild
flower decks
The tombs of yesterday.
And in the twilight deep,
Co veiled women fuith, like her who
wont,
Sister of Lazaiug, to the giave to weep,
To breathe the low lament.
The dead are every where!
Where's is love, or tenderness, or faith.
Where's is power, pomp, pleasure, pride;
where'er
Life is or was, is death.
Two Pointed Texts, Rev, Win, Jay,
of Bull, recently proaohed beforo the Lon
don Missionary Society a sermon (rom the
sinfle sentence 'Ebentzer,' on which he
preached nearly two hours to a large and

of Liverpool, preached in another chapel

EXECUTION IN MOROCCO.
Another instance of capital punishment
was attended with the following singular
circumstances. A Moor of the village ol
Sharf had shot with a pistol in tho market
at Tangier, a fellow-villager, whom he
suspected of being too intimate with hii
wife. The brother of the murdered man
set out immediately for Mcknas, where the
sultan was then residing, and claimed ill e
life of the murderer. The sultan heard the
case; acKnowicugru me justice ni hip

his presence, delivered the following curi

the life of the murderer of your brother.

which he was at aassinaled, and on tin
same snot, at the same hour ot thu (lav.
Hut, added the Sultan, why seekest thou
also to be a manahyer ? Accept the prici
of blood, which is lawful unto true believ
crs, and we will guarantee you its paymcn
from our Sehrerfiaii hands, and two bun-
tred mitzakel shall be the sum,'
To this the plaintiff replied, 'Can thai
sum purchase me a brother?'
'Co thy way,' said the sultan; 'we havi
heard and understood ; a letter will be givei
voti by the Vizier, in which our mandaii
hall be written.'''
Furnished with the sentence of death,
ihe man returned to Tangier, and presented
it t ih Governor. On the samo davof tin
week, and at the same hour, the murderei
was brought out of prison, and seated or
lilt very spot here he. hud taken hi-fellow-villaifer's

'Accept the price of blood,' said he, 'anil
1 promise you one hundaed ducats in addi

Worthless words,' said the villager; anil
again he walked round his victim. Agai.
lie askpd him tho same question, and again
the same reply was given.
A spcniid offer vas now made, of two
hundred ducats; and again the villager,
walking round the priinnal, repeated lm
question, adding. 'Say what thou believe.!,
I am about to takelhv life.'
'That (iod is Uod, and Mahomed is
