-The glittering stars, 



By the deep ear of Meditation heard, 



Still in their midnight watches sing of HIM. 



He uods a culm; the tempests blow His wrath ; 



The thunder is His voice ; and the red flash 



His speedy sword of justice. At His touch 



The mountains flame. He shakos the solid earth, 



And rocks tlie nations. Nor in these alone, 



In every common instance GOD is seen. THOMSON,
