Moral beauty then shall stand Perfected in heavenly strength ; Joy shall find its father-land ; Peace its own abode at length . In one love , one law , one faith , Ail shall then united be 'Neath one common Master ; he , He hath vanquished sin and death .
Land of light and land of Jove ! Let thy glories streaming fair From that radiant Sun above Light us and protect us here ! Lord ! the future ' s veil withdraw . That thro' mists of dark'ning time We may see heaven ^ s heights sublime Even as Moses Canaan saw .
Lord ! O let Thy kingdom come ; Come iu all its holiness : Be it our eternal home , Place of refuge from distress , Seat of hope and sum of bliss , Bright with all the light of heaven , World to which more joys are given Than the sorrows felt in this ! A-

SORROWS AND CONSOLATIONS . What is there in Life , when the visions of hope , Like ice in the sun , are faded , And the heart , unfit with the world to cope , Is oft by the world degraded ?
" Child of the dust ! the heartfelt tear May cleanse that sinful shrine ; And over the drops of holy Fear The rainbow of Hope may shine . " What have we in Life , when doom'd to
mourn That youth was ever believing , — When o ' er the living , as o ' er the cold urn , We grieve that earth is deceiving ?
Child of the earth ! there ' s One above , Who heals the mourner ' s grief : Forget the sorrows of mortal love , And seek at His hand relief . " The spring that waters the desert of Life Flows bitter with Death and Sorrow ; And the flow ' rs , to-day with fragrance rife , Lie blighted and low to-morrow .
" Child of the skies !—Oh ! lift ; thine eye To the Land beyond the tomb , Where springs the fount of eternity And the flowers of Eden bloom !" Credkon , Jan . 26 .

JEREMY BENTHAM . [ From the Examiner . ] I have travell'd the world , and that old man ' s fame Wherever I went shone brightly ; To his country alone belongs the shame To think of his labours lightly .
The words of wisdom I oft have heard From that old man's bosom falling ; And ne ' er to my soul had wisdom appear'd So lovely and so enthralling . No halo was round that old man ' s head ; But his locks , as the rime-frost hoary , While the wind with their snowy relics play'd ,
Seemed fairer than crowns of glory . In him have I seen—what « a joy to see In divinest union blended , An infant child ' s simplicity By a sage ' s strength attended .
He dwells like a sun the world above , Though by folljr and envy shrouded ; But soon shall emerge in light of love , And pursue his path unclouded . That sun shall the mists of night disperse , Whose fetters * o long have bound it ; The centre of its own universe , Tea thousand planets round it . B .

JUSTICE AND HUMANITY . i The moral virtues in blest union raise One altar pleasing to the Deity , Of hallowM right tenacious each obeys The heart ' s best impulse , Heav ' n ' s allwise decree . Sheer Justice nought by naked might acquires , To gain an object "falsehood ne ' er
suborns , Denies no righteous claim , but nobly scorns All selfish aims oppos'd to fair desires . Humanity delights in truth disclos'd , Looks with soft pity where the world ' s unkind ,
Lores to console sweet Innocence expos'd Like the ehaste snow-drop to the wintry wind . The boons of good Humanity ' s bestowing Are streams of kindness from pure Justice flowing . R . F . Kidderminster , Oct . 6 , 1820 .
