When tho archangel with his trump shall stand,
-One foot on sea and one upon the land,
And in His name who sits upon the throne,
The world to judge his children bloss and own
Swear that "Timo was, is, but shall be no moro."
O may I not that awful day deplore !
When the bright glory of the Son of God
Durst on a startled world, O may his blood
Have washed away each dark and fearful stain,
And deathless joy flow thro' each throbbing vein ;
O may I gazo with "joy, and not with grief,"
And may his coining bring a long relief,
My panting spirit, freed from cumbrous clay, '
Soar to the realms of an eternal day,
Whcro spirits glorified shall welcome in
All that are pure and holy, cleansed from sin !
The wicked cease from troubling ;" in that blest
And fair abode "lite weary art at rest "
A Sos or Favst.
Charleston, Dee. 31. 191-2.
I The Duke of Wellington, who has sur
vived many a well fought nnd bloody field,
eamo near falling a victim lo n partridge
bone, -which became lodged in his grace's
throat, and was, with some trouble and
no little pain, finally forced down into
ihe stomach. The accident is thus com
memorated in a London journal :
. Strange that the Duke, whose charmed lifo,
Defying death by hall nnd cartridge,
Uninjured stood, 'midst battle's strife, ' ' "
Should be endangered by a partridge I
. ; 'TwoukI surely melt the heart most stony
That ever, history has known,
Hd the great conqueror of Done y
Himetlf been conquered by bone !
