But most, Thy goodness I admire, Teach me, O God! Thy truth to know Ánd bid my soul repose. Illume the spark Thy hand has drawn From the deep realm where spirit breathes, And let it greet the kindling dawn STANZAS. BY REV. W. 0. PEABODY. I love the memory of that hour I love the memory of that hour- Where art thou now? Thy once loved flowers Their yellow leaves are twining, And bright and beautiful again That single star is shining; But where art thou? The bended grass A dewy stone discloses, And love's bright footsteps print the ground Farewell! my tears are not for thee, ELEGY ON BISHOP HEBER. BY REV. J. W. CUNNINGHAM. He fell not in climbing the icy steep Here honor and interest woo'd him to rest, weep, And love clasp'd him close to her cowardly breast, But zeal for his Lord dissolved every chain And he mounted the deck, and we saw him depart And we left him, in sadness and sickness of heart, But he sought the far coast of the sultry land, And his soul, by the solemn oath he bound, He fell, as he conquered;-a sorrowing crowd But his spirit is gone to the land where the just DRUIDICAL TEMPLE, AVEBURY. This once magnificent temple is situated about five miles west from Marlborough, in Wiltshire, and in the vicinity of the remains of Stonehenge, England. Its ruins are the most gigantic and intéresting of all the ancient British monuments; and in its pristine state it was of the same class for magnitude as Stonehenge, Stanton-Drew, the Hurlers, Long Meg and her Daughters, and various other monuments in Carnwall, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and Britany; but it surpassed all these in the number and size of its upright stones, its vallum and fosse, and its appendages. The village of Avebury is situated in the midst of a large tract of flat country, bounded by a ridge of hills to the east, another more lofty to the south, and various inequalities to the west, all sloping in the western direction. It is encircled by a deep ditch, and a lofty vallum. Within the enclosure are some very large stones standing erect, and several others lying on the ground. At some distance south of the village are other large stones, some standing, and others prostrate; and about half a mile west of the vallum are two more, erect. Some of the houses and walls of the village are constructed with large masses of broken stones. In its orignal state, this great temple must have presented a singular and impressive appearance. A large flat area of ground was surrounded by a broad ditch, and a lofty vallum; the latter being raised on the outside of the former. This ridge appears to have been intended for a standing place for spectators to overlook the whole of the interior area. Immediately |
