" Monarch J on thy regal throne , Ruler ! whom the nations owu ; Captive ! at thy prison grate , Sad in heart and desolate ; Bid Earth ' s minor cares farewell , Hark ! it is the Sabbath bell t " Statesman ! toiling in the mart . Where Ambition plays his part ; Peasant ! 'bronzing neath the sun Till thy six days' work is done ; Ev ' ry thought of bus ' ness quell , When ye hear the Sabbath bell !
" Maiden ! with thy brow so fair , Blushing cheek and shining hair ; Child ! with bright and laughing eye , Chasing the wing'd butterfly ; Hasten . ! when , o ' er vale and dell , Sounds the gath ' ring Sabbath bell ! " Trav'ler ! thou whom gain , or taste , Speedeth through Earth ' s weary waste ; Wand ' rer from thy native land , Rest thy steed and slack thine hand , When the seventh day ' s sunbeams tell , There—they ' wake the Sabbath bell !
" Soldier ! who , on battle-plain , Soon may ' st mingle with the slain ; Sailor 1 On the dark blue sea , As thy bark rides gallantly ; Prayer aud praise become ye well , Though ye hear no Sabbath bell ! ct Mother ! , that with tearful eye , Stand'st to watch thy first-born die ; Beudiug o ' er his cradle bed , Till the last pure breath has fled ; What to thee of hope can tell , Like the solemn Sabbath bell ?
" *• Mourner ! ( thus it seems to say , ) Weeping o ' er this fragile clay ; Lift from earth thy streaming eyes , Seek thy treasure iu the skies ; Where the strains of angels swell One eternal Sabbath bell ! ' "

Art . VI . —Elements of Mental and Moral Science , designed to exhibit the original Susceptibilities of the Mind , 8 fc . By George Payne , A . M . London . 1828 . This book will be found a useful and compendious guide in the prosecution of the class of study ta which it relates . In general , the author ' s personal views
are those of the late Dr . T . Browu > though with some important points of difference - His theological opinions influence , as may be supposed , his views on topics with wfyich they are pot unnaturally connected ; but his spirit is on the whole candid , and his summaries of conflicting theories appear to us to be generally correct and comprehensive .

Art . VII . —A Journal of a Mission to the Indians of the British Provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and the Mohawks , fyc . By John West , M . A . 8 vo . Mr . West does not give any very
encouraging prospect of rapid success a * mong the Indian tribes . Even the slower and surer plan of subduing their independent Spirits within the trammels of social dependence , has not been found very successful . Apprenticing the youth among Europeans was attempted .
" It is not by such means , however , " observes Mr . West , " nor any similar forced process that has been acted upon , nor any means that compel them to be * hewers of wood and drawers of water , ' in a menial capacity , that a just expectation can be raised of any conversion in their state . Their naturally
high and independent spirit must be consulted in the attempt to do them good ; and this is best done by encouraging them , on all favourable occasions , to become settlers on their owu lands , or lands which in common justice should be assigned to them as the original proprietors of the soil . An Indian sees acutely all the relative stations in
society , and feels keenly the contempt with which he is often treated by white people on account of the colour of his skin . A short time ago , a chief of the Passamaquoddy tribe accompanied a deputation of Indians to a convention in the state of Maine , for the purpose of asserting their right of property in the land where they were located . At the house of
accommodation they were put into a back room for the night , with a small bit of a candle , where the boots of a considerable nuni * ber of persons who had arrived for the meeting were left . The next day this spirited chief complained to the assent bly how badly Indians were accommodated , and being asked to state what he had complained of , said , * Boots too much , light too little .
