SUNDAY EVENING . " Let not your hearts be troubled , but confide In me , as ye confide in God -I y go A mansion for my followers to provide ; My Father ' s heavenly dwelling is supplied With many mansions ; I had told ye so ,
Were there not room ; I * hasten to prepare Your seats , —and soon will come again , and say , Be welcome : —where your Lord inhabits , there , There should his followers be - ye know the way—I am the way , the truth , the life . "— 'Tvvas thus The Saviour spoke—and in that blessed road ,
What now ' rets grow , what sun-beams shine on us , All glowing with the brightness of our God ! Heaven seems to open round , the earth is still , As if to sanctify us for the skies ; All tending to the realms where blessing lies , And joy and gladness , up the eternal hill . As the heaven-guided prophet , when his eyes Stretched wearied o ' er the peaceful promised land Even as he stood on Canaan ' s shores , we stand .
O night 1 how beautiful thy golden dress , On which so many stars like gems are strew'd ; So mild and modest in thy loveliness , So bright , so glorious in th y solitude . The soul soars upwards on its holy wings , Thro' thy vast ocean-paths of light sublime , Visits a thousand yet unravelled things ; And , if its memories look to earthly time
And earthly interests , 'tis as in a dream—For earth and earthly things tmt shadows seem ; While heaven is substance , and eternity . This is Thy temple , Lord ! 'tis worthy Thee , And in it thou hast many a lamp suspended , That dazzles not , but lights resplendently ; And there Thy court is—there Thy court , attended By myriad , myriad messengers—the song-Of countless and melodious harps is heard ,

Mr . Bowring ' s " Matins and Vespers " [ A delightful little volume of devotional poetry has been just published by Mr . BowRiNG under the above title . Our readers may remember some of them which the author liberally communicated to one of our former volumes . We thank him for giving them to the public , being persuaded that they will cherish the spirit of pure and rational piety in every reader . They display equally the imagination of the poet and the feeling of the Christian . No manual of devotion is better fitted to lie beside the Bible in the closet where prayer is wont to be made to Him that seeth in secret . ]
