NIGHT THOUGHTS ON LAKE' ERIE. 
Now from the steamer’s upper deck I look 
Lake Eric's sparkling water.s on and o’er, 
And the white crest of every rapid wave 
Bright in the silver light of yon full moon 
Goes flashing, dashing on. 
Strange thoughts arise— 
Sad thoughts—that ever come when still and lone. 
We list the murmuring, melancholy sound 
Of midnight waters, howe’er bright they he. 
Ifow few now borne upon thy heaving breast— 
O glittering lake! who safe and swift glide on, 
Give even a thought unto the many score. 
Engulfed lieneath thy billows in their rage 
Of fiercest gloom — or when in deadly strife 
Bold Pr.RRV met the foe, and hundreds died, 
Staining with gushing blood thy crystal tide-, 
And though it were a glorious victory 
Yet many hearts were blighted by the blast 
Of triumph swelling loud—to them, a knell 
Few think of this, but yet to me the surf 
Moans the sad requiem of thejloved and lost — 
(Though valued light in sanguinary war; — 
Loved, by some sad heart with none else to love, 
I,ost, by some lone soul with no more to lose — 
Ever shall Eric swell their solemn dirge.

How various the forms that beauty takes. 
When slaves of men the potent goddess makes; 
How willingly her silken chains are worn, 
VVlien on the wings of love our hearts are borne. 
In one, the lofty forehead, clear and high, 
Shall beauty make—in another, ’lis the eye, 
Whose mild expression, and whose witching grace 
Hath kindled beauty on some radiant face. 
txoraplexion soft and tint of dazzling'hues 
Another face with loveliness imbues; 
And now, perchance, fair locks and snowy hands 
.Shall bind the captive in love’s strongest bamds. 
A queenly lK;.aring and a graceful mien 
May form the beauty in another seen; 
Still, ‘ ’tis not a lip or eye we beauty call. 
But the full force and joint effect of all.’ 
A'et once we love, a veil is thrown between. 
Through wlilcli tiiere’s only beauty to be seen ; 
A fable’s told how once there sought repose 
A sacred spirit ’neath a fragrant rose: 
And for the .“hade that liad its slumber blest, 
it fain would give of graces rich the best; 
.-Vnd o’er the blushing rose that drooping grew, 
A veil of moss the gratefUl angel threw. 
And thus o’er Ireauty Heaven hath cast a sheen. 
More lovely far than all the rest, I ween ; 
’Tis VIRTUE fair, through which all graces shine, 
Crowning each beauty with a grace divine. 
“THE BIBLE IN M Y TRUNK.” 
A FEW evenings ago I was present at a 
tea-table where the conversation turned up¬ 
on praying “before folks;” some of the par¬ 
ty contending that, where two travelers 
chance to lodge in the same room for a 
night, it would look Pharisaical for one or 
the other to kneel down and “say his pray¬ 
ers” in the presence of the other; while the 
other party defended the propriety of it, 
and asserted it to be a duty. As an illus¬ 
tration, an incident was related, where two 
members of our church—at home, good men 
enough—both got into bed prayerless, for 
fear of praying before the other’s eyes.— 
This conversation, which was very interest¬ 
ing, and in course of which many striking 
illustrations were brought up to prove the 
healthy example of never neglecting prayer, 
led a clergyman present to relate the fol¬ 
lowing anecdote, which I think worthy of 
preservation, and perhaps may do some 
good ’. — 
“ When 1 was a young man,” said the 
clergyman, “ I was a clerk in Boston. Two 
of my room-mates at my boarding-house

was eighteen. The first Sunday morning.
