0 Tnnr eternal One! whose presence bright
All space doth occupy, all motion guide:
Unchanged througb times all-degastatimr flight ;
Thou only God ! There is no God 4,Leside
Being above all beings! Mighty One !
Whom none can comprehend and none e. - rplore;
Who fill'st existence With Thiself alone:
Embracing all—supporting—cling o'er—
Being whom we call GoDand know no more!
In its sublime research. Philosophy
May.measure out the ocean-dip—mop count
The sands or e the sun's rays—but, God! for Thee
There is no weight nor measure :—none can mount
Tip to Thy mysteries; Reason's brightest spark,
Though kiedled by Tin• light. in Lain would try
To trace Thy counsels, infinite and dark:
And thought is lost crc thought can soar so high,
Even like past moments in eternity. •
Thou from primeval nothingness did :t call
First chaos, then existence ;--i.ord ! onThee .
Eternity had its foundation:—all
Sprung forth from Thee :—of light. joy, harmony ;
Sole origin :—all life, all beauty Thine.
Thy word created all, and doth create; .
Thy splendor fills all space with rays divine.
Thou art, and wert, and shalt he! Glorions ! Great !
Light-giving, life-sustaining Potentate !
Thy chains the unmeasured nnir . erre surround
Upheld by Thee, by Thee inspired With breath!
Thou the . beginning with the end bast bound,
And beautifully minglot life and and death!
.
As sparks mount upwards from 'the fiery blaze,
So suns are born, so worlds spring forth from Thee
And as the spangles in the sunny rays
Shine round the silver snow, the pageantry
Of heaven's bright army glitters in Thy prise!
A million torches. lichtet.l by thy hand,.
Wander unweatied thrduigh the blue abyss:
li t-
The3i own Thy power,aeFom dish Thy command,
All gay with life, all eloqu with blis..
What shalt we call them ? Hes of crystal light—
A glorious compiny of golden streams—
Lamps of celestial ether burning bright—, - •
Suns. lighting syslcms with their joyous bearns. - 3 .

Teel as adrop of water in the sea, -
All this magnificence in Thee is lost -"

And what am Men .11eaven's unnumbef'd host,

In all the glory of sublimest thought.

Against Thy greatness, is a cypher bre:tight, -
Against infinity ! Whit am Uthen ? Ntiughtl
'Nought! But the effluence 'of Thy light divine,
Pervading worlds, bath rcach'd my bosom too ;
'Yes! in my spirit cloth Thy spirit shine,
As shines the sun-beam in a drop of dew.
Nought! but I live, and on hope's pinions fly
Eager towards Thy presence; for in Thee
I live, and breathe, and dwell ; aspiring high,
Even to the throne of Thy divinity.
I am, 0 God ! and surely Thou must be !
Thou art! Directing, guiding all. Thou art !
Direct my understanding then to Thee;
Control my spirit, guide my wandering heart
Though but an atom 'midst immensity,
Still I am something, fashioned by Thy hand!

ST. NICHOLAS' CHRISTMAS VISIT.
'Twas the night beforiCsrairrsus, when all thro
the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with
care,
In the hope that St. Nicholas soon would be there
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
- While visions of sugar-plinnsd anced in their heads,
And mamma in her 'kerchief and I in my cap,
hind just settled our brains fora long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
sprants'fmm the bid to see whist was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters, and threw up•the sash.
The moon, on the breast of the new-fullen
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear
But a miniature-sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old *lriver so lively and thick, •
I knew in a moment it must be ."St. Nick.'
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And lie•whistlel, and shouted, and calk&Oena by
name:
"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer! now
Vixen!
On, Comet ! on, Cupid I on, Dander and Nixon!
To.the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
As dry leaves before the wild hurricane dr, •
When they meet with an obstacle mount todhesky,
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
_With the sleigh full of toys—and St..Nichola; too.
And. then, in. a twinkling, I heard 'on the roe(
The pawing and pawing of each little hoof;
As t drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimneySt.Nicholas came with a bound.

His cheeks vrere like roses, his nose like a cherry :
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,t
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.
The stump of a pine he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath,
He had a broad face, and. a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of

And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,

And filled all the stockings ; then turned with a

And laying his finger aside of his note,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,

- MISCELLANEOUS.
American Literature,
" And equally absurd is it to question, as
so many have been' fond of doing, whether
there is such a thing as American litera
ture. The Anglo-saxo-norman race, (if
we must have a word that approximates
the genealogical fact,) the great mass of the
people of these U, States, have assorted and
maintained their nationality in the most .
decided manner. - The intellectual and mo
ral bonds which held them as a portion of
the subjects of the British crown, had been
, broken long before the Declaration of hide
' pendenee was written, and nothing short
of the absolute extermination or Silencing'
of those who united, in that Declaration,
could have established British sentiments
or a British literature among, the descen
dants and disciples of the _Puritans. The
despotism of the monster Henry VIII., the
fires of Smithfield; the mingled
ness of woman . and priestin Elizabeth's
iron reign, could not territY, or check, or
exterminate the - spirit-of Christian liberty
kindled by Wickliffe, rendered triumphant
by Luther, and still farther exalted and
emboldened by` Calvin and Knox. It'en
throned itselfamongthe mountains of Scot
land, it crossed the wild and wintery Ae..
lantie, and placing one foot upon the Rock
of Plymouth and the other upon the shore
of The Pacific, it claimed the whole inter
vening continent as the theatre of its ex
ploits and its inalienablo inheritance. Be
trayed by its mecenary auxiliaries, and
shorn of its strength by Cromwell, who
had led it to victory over the bodies of the
Aristocracy, through the blood of the king,
and across the scattered fragments of the
pretended church England, the republi
can party of great Britain sang its death
song in the immortal strains of Milton,
and then sank upon its funeral pyre, only
to arise like the fabled plittnix of the East,
with renewed youth and vigor, to cleave a
purer air and to soar nearer to the sun in
the western world.

At length there came a‘ light snow, just

A SMART DOG
A CURIOUS INCIDENT
An old gentleman in this - City relates ono
of the. most thrilling romances of real life
we ever heard of:, In this romance he
was the principle actor:. Many years ago,
in Verniont, an insane. man suddenly
appeared. No trace of his whereabouts
could be discovered, and many supposed .
that he was dead, Several years after his
strange disappearance, a person who had
known him, dreamed that ho had been mur.
tiered by a certain-family residing near at
hand, and that he was hurried in a certain
spot. This &cam' occurred several times,
and so vivid that the dreamer related it, and
induced other persons to aid him in dig
ging at the spot indicated in his dream.—
They dug and found bones. They also
found a button and a knife, which was iden
tified as the property of the missing Man,
The family, consistingof a mother and two
young men, sons, were arrested and impris.'
oned. The sons, to save the 'nether, con.'
fessed The murder. On trial, however,
they plead not guilty, but were, neverthe
less, found guilty,. and condethned to be
hanged. The sentence was, however,
cow munted to imprisonment. forlife in the
state prison, to which they.were sent,
Soon after the trial, a paragraph appear
ed in the Post of this city, which led the
old gentlenian referred to, (who was ad,
quainted with all the parties in the affair,)
to belive that_die man supposed to be mur.
tiered was aiiVe. He was set to work, and
by dint of inquiry found the insane man
on a farm, under the supposition that it was
his own:.- The. old gentleman addressed
him, saying :
"Don't•you know me ?"
""No—never saw you before."
The old man dropped an English shilling
which-the insane man instantly clutched,
“Now," said the old gentleman, "tell me
who I—am and who you - are, and . I'll give
you that shilling."
The insane man did as required, and
_proved to be the missing - individual, He
was - taken back to Vermont,- and the two
-men were released, of . course. The in
sane manliad, however, _ to be exhibited
publicly, and to thousands Of people, before
theYwould believe he was hiMeelf, •
This story ie typth, and ban easily be
proved . by a reference -to the legitimate're'-
cords of the time. It is a curious romance
in Real life, and goes ahead of all the fie'
tions ever invented. U, S. Republican,
The Elizabethtown - (N. J.) Journal says

mediately taken to Vermont, and the prison
ers of course released."
AN Awrei. Execuaiox.—We haVe just

gentleman who witnessed the ex eeutiort
the old man Burnett and wife, at Fayette.
ville, on Saturday last. They were con
voyed to the gallows at half east twelve,
and were executed about two o!clock. The
old man uttered not

said only a few words, which were under.

well from each other or the world. There
were a very large number of persons on
the ground—probably between' two And

he saw young Burnett, the Son, in prison
on the morning 'of the execution, and that
he appeared entirelY careless and unconcern.

BEIVEFIii ADVERTISING.An East
ern correspondent of the Richmond Whig,
in noticing the unparalleled prosperity
which has attended certain commercial and
manufacturing houses which he visited,
says: "In order to secure customers they
advertised freely, which is all essential, if
a merchant or business man wishes to be
successful, For instance, one of these
clothing stores pay to the Boston Atlas .a-'
