My Surety.
Look upon tho face of thine anointed."--.-Ps. wan:
Not on me, Lord, not on me—
I am all iniquity;
Look upon that Holy One,
Who, before thy glorious throne,
On his breast bears my poor name,
And my load.of sin and shame—
Look on him—my Surety.
Look on thine anointed Son ;
Only in his name I come;
Only far his sake I dare
Breathe to thee my suppliant prayer;
While I to bis garment cling,
While I hide beneath his wings,
Look on him—my Surety.
I have often broke thy laws,
Oft proved traitor to thy cause;
He that broken law bath kept,
He o'er my transgressions wept;
He, upon the orosslothne,
Bore the dread death•penalty.
Look on him—my Surety.
Now he pleadeth thee hefore,
And I kneel, Lord, to adore •
For the pardon thou haat given,
For the death-ohains he has riven;:.
Even when I sue for graoe,
Look thou on his pitying face; -
Look on him—my Surety.

by the circulation of a healthy literature,
that there be not thrown back upon us a
dissolute soldiery—a catastrophe for which
the most honorable peace could but ill
atone. In the demoralization that would
follow, the country would feel the saddest
effects of the war y and sustain a loss, with
which her hundreds of millions of treasure

too, a most

French Press lama take the same course,
if it dare, but Imperialism at the Tuillerieg.
is at present qUite conservative. It affects,
or feels, as much disgust at what could dis
turb the " Czar my brother," as if it were
not an upstart And a parvenu, and as if he
were not an Emperor with .an ancient lin
eage. Oh, yes; we are, at Paris, very con
servative just now; Italy may keep maun
dering and moaning about Rome as her
capital, but she ban 't have it; for the Pope
.says; and Anton too, "-Hon-possum:us,
we cannot conscientiously give ,Up what
God himself Rave his Vicar.! ..And then
as to Poland, why, says- M. Renault, , the
Emperor's paidserving man, crator,, and
mouthpiecemonth=pieces is the Senate,-'" France" does
riot lose sympathy for Polandi . but she has
no faith ininsurrection, and trusts rather
in the generosity .of the Czar.'," Thaw
cunning and eruilty,go hand in ' hand, but

Samuel's closing years must have been
well "spent," truly, in getting up a " his
tory " which puts words into the mouth of
a Moses, as Leader and Lawgiver, who-nev
er existed, and yet makes the great God
speak to him, answer him with an audible
voice, and, nay, sends him away down from
the Mount, with his face shining from im
mediate. converse with the Divine Majesty 7

that a party in power' gets into a rut, is
equally true. Dr. Campbell, of the British
Standard, writes on this topic as follows:
" It behoves the Liberals: to mind what
they are about, or they will shortly have to
change sides. in the House of Commons.
Both Devonport and Cambridge, two Mot
important scats, are lost to them. 'Tliela
jority for the Conservative in Devonport
was.Bo, in Cambridge 81. These are filets
which speak for themselves. They still
further go to show that the House, in its
• ilmOst equally divided state, is a tolerably
..fair representative of the nation. *Noli;to
be frank, we do not' wonder at this : as
. matters stand, nearly all the• greatques
tions of the day having been settled, i there
is but little to choose between Whigs and
Tories: Let it never be forgotten that the
Tories, both in the matter of church-rates:
and of reform, showed' far more sincerity
awl, earnestness than their opponents.. •Mr.
Walpole acted wisely and .honorably , in,the
matter, of church 'rates, and proposed a
; fialiiiiil3 which 'had great claims to consid
.erition:%:- MKT D'lsraeli, too, however levity
might laugh lit what wah•flippatitly ailed
fancy franchises,' :exhibited the best
outline of it bill that,has ever yet been pro ;
;posed. It provided for the representation,
lief-merely of property, but of intellect, and,
• with an honest, earnest House, it might
have been framed into an excellent system
of representation. •Iftiless then, our Lib
erals, so called, shall wake up, they may
prepare for that I whish,will inevitably one
day conie--it'cliange of:places. Both par
