A moment since 'Twas present, with its joys, its smiles, Its tears, Its days of busy strife of deeds of fame, Of mercy, love of sin too, and of crlms Its scenes of suffering, and of solemn death. These all have passed away. Now I look back And fed the consciousness of one more year Added to those long numbered with the dead. Not all the pride nor avarice of man Can wake It into being, nor recall One fleeting moment of the slumbering yeir Nor deeds of folly, nor of sin undo. It sleeps the sleep of death, the silence of The quiet grave the grave where wearied Find rest from trouble from corroding care. Not the repose that dseamino atheists think, But that which Christians find, whose bodies lie Well cared for, tho' within their narrow eell, But whose pure spirits, PURE, because redeemed, And in atoneing blood, washed and made clean, Accepted, stand before the throne of God, And drink their happiness from heavenly streams. We cannot now recall the year just gone, But may recall to mind what scenes have passed Of good or evil what improvement made Of blessings sent, or chastisements endured Blessings so frequent, that we heed them not Yet when at times withheld, or sparsely given, Rebellion rises in ungrateful hearts. What a rich harvest has the year bestowed, Rich in provisions, both for man and beast, And so abundant that the new-born year Need take no thought for many days to come. Truly our land is blessed above all lands, An 1 we of all the nations of the earth Should be moat grateful. But not here alone Is cause of gratitude; the growing strife That nation against nation sets at war, Has died away, or beard but dimly now, And God, in mercy, may restrain the wrath Of tyrant man. Alas I what blood was spilt, What angry words were uttered ( how the wrath Of man waxed hot against his fellow man ; What crimination, discord, envy, strife, What pride, what arrogance, ajtd what Ill- will Were harbored in the hearts where love should reign, Love reign, because one family we dwell j Though many sovereigns, still they call us one, One people, and one nation, and one head, Or servant, for the head the servant is ; One constitution, name, and Union one. One sky doth cover us 5 the same earth yields Our food ; the same deep river waters all, r.'en rroin tne iiocky mountains' snow-ciaa top Far down to where the briny gulf doth lave The soiled and wearied feet of "Sunny South." Much of this strife has passed away, and now We seem to feel the common throes of life, And Peace again lifts np her drooping head Domestic peace, without which all were lost Nor was that dark and threat'nlng cloud that rose Beyond Atlantic's waves, that sound or WAR, Suffered the whole horion to o'erspread, And thus In savage darkness shroud again This fairest heritage that earth e're saw Since sin first blighted Eden. It has vanished. The genial rays of the bright sun of Peaee Hath scattered that dark oloud. The Bow of Promise Expanding the broad sea in lofty arch, Rests, one end on Rrltanla's sea-gtrt shore, The other on our own belov'd land, Wlille towering high the olive branch appears, Emblem of peace and unity of heart. Nor shall the year just entered Into being Depart, If Providence doth favor ua, E're science shall discover 'neath the dark And deep-blue aea a quiet way where thought, With lightning's speed, shall go and come at will, Unmindful of the storms and winds above And mother and da'ighter separated long, And jealous often of each other's love, Shall meet In fond embrace 'neath ocean's vr.iL, And kiss, and smile, forgive, aid e'en forget i And thus in iieabt united, though apart, Their course will onward be, and upward too, 'Till the broad mantle that doth cover them Shall cover all the earth and all the earth K'lil JQlMi H'-ierned by uiv toiumcn law Ami by them taught 'tk trail .UbiJhe have learned ,1 t ! '1 1 ''i : From God's own words, which make us what And which alone ran make us what we hope To be in time to come. Speed then thy flight, New Year, nor tarry in thine onward course If such rich blessings follow in thy train, And let each setting sun give brighter hopes Of brighter days to come. BCLLKVVB. MISCELLANEOUS. Rrmarbable Canes. r I M I N A 1.1 WHO It ATE BEE) RETOftKED TO LIEE AFTEft EXECUTION. The following singular circumstance- is recorded by Dr. Flot, in his Natural His tory of Oxfordshire : In the year KV50, Anne Green, a ser vant of Sir Thomas Reed, was tried for the murder of her new-born child, and found guilty. She was executed in the court-yard at Oxford, where she hung about half an hour. Iteing cut down, she was put into a coffin, and brought away to a house to he dissected, where, when they opened the coffin, notwithstanding the rope remained unloosed, and straight about her neck, they perceived her breast to rise, whereupon one Mason, a tailor, intending only an act of charity, set his foot upon her, and, as some say, one Orum, a soldier, struck her with the butt end of his musket. Notwithstanding all which, when the learned and eminent Sir William Terry, ancestor of the present Marquis of Landsdowno, then Anatomy Professor of the University, Dr. Wallis and Dr. Clark, then President of Magda len College, and Vice-Chancellor of the University, came to prepare the body for dissection, they perceived some small rat tling in her throat; hereupon desisting from their former purpose, they presently used means for her recovery by opening a vein, laying her in a warm bed, and also using divers remedies respecting her senselessness, insomuch that within four teen hours she began to speak,nd the next day talked and prayed very heartily. During the time of this her recovering, the officers concerned in her execution would needs have had her away again to have completed it on her ; but by the me diation of the worthy doctors and some other friends with the then governor of he city, Col. Kelsy, there was a guard put upon her from all further disturbance until they had sued out her pardon from the government. Much doubt indeed arose as to her actual guilt. Crowds of people in the meantime came to see her, and many asserted that it must be the providence of God who would thus assert Ker innocence. After some time, Dr. Perry, hearing she discoursed with those about her, and suspecting that the women might suggest unto her to relate something of strange visions and appa rations she baa seen d urine the time she seemed to be dead (which they had already begun to do, tell ing that she said she had been in a fine green meadow, having a river running round it, and all things there glittered ike silver and gold), he caused all to de part from the room but the gentlemen of the faculty who were to have been at the dissection, and asked her concerning her sense and apprehensions during the time she was hanged. To which she answer ed, that she neither remembered how the fetters were knocked off, how she went out of the prison, when she was turned off the ladder, whether any psalm was sung or not, nor was she sensible of any pains that she could remember. She came to herself as if she had awakened out of sleep, not recovering the use of her speech by slow degrees, but in a manner alto gether, beginning to speak just where she left on the gallows. Being thus at length perfectly recovered, after thanks given to God, and the per sona instrumental in bringing her to life, and procuring her an immunity from fur ther punishment, she retired into the country to her friends at Steeple Barton, where fho was afterwards married, and fiveti m'g'&xT Vcptite' tyWig her neigh bors! having three children, and not dying till 1059. ' i : NO. 12. The following account of the case of a girl, who was wrongly executed in 1766, is given by a celobrated French author, , as an instance of injustice which was often committed by the equivocal mode of trial then used in France. About seventeen year since, jomsg , peasant girl was placed at Pari in the service of a man, who, smitten with her beauty, tried to inveigle her but she waa virtuous and resisted. The prudence of this girl irritated the master, and he de termined on revenge. He secretly con- , veyed into her box many things belong- ' ing to him, marked with his name. He then exclaimed that he waa robbed, called ', in a commissaire (a ministerial officer of justice) and made his deposition. The girl's box was searched, and the things were discovered. The unhappy servant was accordingly Imprisoned. She defended herself only by her tears ; she had no evidence to prove that she did not put the property in her box; and her only answer to the interrogatories was, that she was innocent. The judges had " no suspicion of the depravity of the ac ' cuser, whose station was respectable, and they administered the law in all its rigor. The innocent girl waa condemned to be hanged. The dreadful office was effect ually performed, as it waa the first attempt of the Mti of the chief executioner. A surgeon had purchased the body for dia section, and it was conveyed to his house. Jl On that evening, being about to open the head, he perceived a gentle warmth about the body. The dissecting knife fell from his hand, and he placed in a bed her whom he was about to dissect. , , i f His efforts to restore her to life was " effectual, and at the same time he tent for ' a clergyman on whose discretion and ex- ' perience he could depend, in order to con- ' suit with him on this strange event aa ' well as to have him for a witness to his " conduct The moment the unfortunate'' girl opened her eyes she believed herself in the other world, and perceiving the . figure of the priest, who had marked and majestic countenance, she joined her hands tremblingly and exclaimed, 'Eter ' nal Father, you know my innocence, have i pity on me f In this manner she contio i ued to invoke the ecclesiastic, believing in I her simplicity that she beheld her God. They were long in persuading her that . she was not dead o much had the idea of the punishment and death possessed , her imagination. , . The girl having returned to life and health, she retired to hide herself in a diatant village, fearing to meet the judges or the officers, who, with the dreadful -tree, incessantly haunted her imagination. The accuser remained unpunished, be cause his crime, although manifested by ' two individual witnesses, waa not clear to the eyes of the law. The people subse-i quentJy became acquainted with the rev surrection of this girl, and loaded with re-' proachea the author of her misery. . - Mlt Cultmr. , j It is our business to cultivate in our minds, to rear to the utmost rigor, and maturity every sort of generous and honest feelings that belongs to our nature.
