HYMN. 



There's not a tint that paints the rose, 



Or decks the lily fair, 

 Or streaks the humblest flower that grows, 



But Heaven has placed it there ! 



At early dawn there's not a gale. 



Across the landscape driven. 

 And not a breeze that sweeps the vale. 



That is not sent by Heaven. 



There's not of grass a simple blade, 



Or leaf of lowliest mein. 

 Where heavenly skill is not displayed, 



And heavenly wisdom seen ! 

 There's not a tempest dark and dread, 



Or storm that rends the air, 

 Or blast that sweeps o'er ocean's bed, 



But Heaven's own voice is there 1 



There's not a star whose twinkling light 



Illumes the distant earth, 

 And cheers the solemn gloom of night. 



But mercy gave it birth I 

 There's not a cloud whose dews distil 



Upon the parching clod. 

 And clothe with verdure vale and hill. 



That is not sent by God I 

 There's not a place in earth's vast round. 



In ocean deep or air. 

 Where skill and wisdom are not found r 



For God is every where ! 

 Around, beneath, below, above, 



Wherever space extends. 

 There Heaven displays its boundless love, 



And power with mercy blends ! 

 Then rise, my soul and sing His name, 



And all his praise rehearse. 

 Who spread abroad earth's glorious frame, 

 And built the universe ! 



Where'er thine earthly lot is cast, 



His power and love declare, 

 Nor think the mighty theme too vast — 



For God is every where '. 



MISCELLANY. 



From the Massachusetts Yeoman.

After taking some refreshment, she complained 

 of excessive inclination to sleep, and was there- 



fore placed in bed between the hours of six 



and seven in the afternoon. In apparent enjoy- 



ment of profound repose, she remained until a 



very far advanced hour the following day, when 



on attempting to arouse her, she was found to 



be quite cold ; her lips were colorless, and her 



eyes glazed ; all pulsation had ceased ; every 



thing bore testimony to the power of the de- 

 stroyer death. The last offices to her remains 



which were directed by decency, were then 



performed; the corpse was attired in the usual l^^^j^ :^. ^^j„ ,ggt jfj^ge or four years, anf 



graveclothes, and laid on a bed, where itre- - ". . .,__,. _u — ..,„.„„.. 



mained from Friday noon until Sunday morning, 



the afternoon of which day was fixed for the 



interment. Happily, however, the horrible 



event, which we fear occurs but too often, was 



frustrated. On the removal of the body from 



the bed to the coffin, one of the persons engag- 

 ed, inadvertently placed her hand on the bosom, 

 and fancying its touch imparted a sensation far 

 more warm than the damp and clayey feel of a 

 corpse, she naturally expressed her opinion to 

 those who were assisting in the melancholy of- 

 fice ; a closer examination convinced them 

 that they were obout to commit to the cold 

 grave a living subject. The cheeks and lips 

 were still livid and colorless ; the eye exhibit- 

 ed no sensation of vision, but the vital princi- 

 ple reigned about the region of the heart, and 

 on the application of a glass, breathing was 

 once more perceptible. The physician who 

 had attended during her illness was instantly 



sent fbr; on his arrival signs of '.^turning ani- bfe'diffidence"' as to prevent his ever disc 

 mationwere so manifest, that he concluded ^j^^ ^^^^ ,„ ,^3 fair empress of his heart, r 



ed on an expedient which would bring the 

 ness to an issue. He went to the clerg 

 and requested Ihe bands of marriage mi| 

 published, according to law. When the 

 cation was brought to her ears, she was 

 with astonishment and went to him to vei 



those who were acquainted with the busi ji 

 that the sales of Bonnets and Trimmings mM 

 factured in this State, have amounted to in 

 than a million of dollars yearly. It is to bri 

 gretted that this branch of our Manufact e 

 which assists such a proportion of the indusl 01 

 poor, should be done away with, to give \\f.

 of taste, is said not to excel in beauty thcjj

 that the American Straws are not so dural

ANECDOTES. 

 A young man having entertained a tende 

 sion for a young woman felt such unsurm 



From the London Farmer's Journal. 



Simulated Death. — From its singularity, we 

 are induced to give the particulars of this case, 

 which was shortly noticed in our last. 



" A very extraordinary case ot this nature 

 occurred a few days ago, at Hammersmith, in 

 the person of Harriet Smith, a joung woman 

 of interesting appearance, who served as house- 

 maid in the family of Robert Emerson, Esq. of 

 Oxford-street. This girl, it seems, had, about 

 three years ago, been thrown from the iDp of a 

 stage-coach, and received many severe contu- 

 sions both internal and external, which seriously 

 affected her strength, and brought on a gradual 

 decay of nature. Being incapable of perform- 

 ing her customary business, she relinquished 

 her situation, and obtained an asylum beneath 

 the roof of a female relative at Hammersmith. 

 Here, notwithstanding lier total cessation from 

 all corporeal labor, her complaint still advanc- 

 ed ; she every day grew weaker, and was fre- 

 quently subject to long fainting^. Through the 



bleeding and the application of warm brick 

 would be productive of immediate restoration. 

 He therefore opened a vein, first in one arm 

 and then in the other, but without effect ; eve- 

 ry other effort proved equally unavailing, until 

 about five o'clock in the evening, when a rapid 

 change took place; the throbbing of the heart 



change took place; ♦''^I'j'jf 7,^/ J!'f^. ;;;''^ resentment; he bore the sally with fort

lips partially regained their crimson, re- 

 spiration returned with ease and vigor, and in 

 a few moments all the animal powers assumed 

 their functions. During the interesting inter- 

 val the various insignia of death were remov- 

 ed in order that she should not be terrified by 

 their appearance when perception returned ; — 

 but being questioned as to her health in the 

 customary manner, she manifested no know- 

 ledge of what her situation had been, merely 

 saying that she felt cold and weak, with an ex- 

 traordinary oppression and sensation of fear, 

 not unlike that which is experienced in dreams, 

 when afilicted with the complaint commonly 

 called the nightmare. She has improved not 

 only ia health but in spirits every day since her 

 visit to the other world, and is now likely to be 

 long an inhabitant of this. 



Lore nf Fame.— The love of fame not regu- 

 lated by principle, is more dangerous to the 

 welfare of society than the love of money
