Awake ! Awake ! Awake ! and Bupplieato thy King To thwart tho enemy's desire; . Together let thy watchmen sing, And fan to flamo faith's smouldering fire This is no time to calmly sleep, Nor o'en the time to idly rest; Continual guard the wise will keep When Zion's children are oppressed. - Lo! multitudes comprise tho throng Oppos'd to cv'ry law of right; Yea, many nro our foes, and strong Tho forces that against us light. God is our only shield and stay, uoa is onr onlyjtiojg and Frieiid! Unless wo all 1Mb laws obey, How dare wo on His aid depend? Tho proud and haughty how shall these Upon the Lord of Hosts rely? Oh, how shall those who sit at ease The armies of th3 earth defy? , "God is not mocked," nor will He fight For those who but of grandeur dreffm; For those who His commandments slight, Although, indeed, as Saints they si cm.

These names alone assure us she was a woman of no mean order, and every reader of her life will certainly desire to place a chaplet on her brow, or a bouquet at her feet. Her life, with all its glory, throws a sadness over my spirit. It seemed ever one cf hvd cUuggW, yci, uo uoum sucli a mind as hers so rich, so full of mighty telligence, was capable of making in every portion of that life, its own Elysium; still of melancholy stole over me as I read her earthly pilgrimage, with her most heartrending and early death. That alone seemed to engulf every pleasing delightful, proud thought I had entertained of a woman all must love, and more than that admire with devotion! I could not feel satisfied with her marriage, that is, the man she married, yet he gained one great redeeming point. in-- my estimation, that he was capable of loving and appreciating such a woman, who paid him the great honor of bestowing upon him her heart and hand!; It speaks well in favor of all who, possessing' great blessings and honors, have the faculty to weigh and measure and appreciate them. - Sti 1.1 fel t this marriage sea ed her destiny-;yasTlropfied," and her "occupation gone!'' but out of tho her death this fearful cloud that over-hunidea brought out a "silver lining." The ways of the Great Director of the universe are past finding out even to the most humble and inquirer; yet in some of those mysterious dispensations of Providence, that prostrate the soul in dust and ashes, and for a time close the doors of light and inspiration, and cause it to sit in darkness and the shadow of death, who has not felt that there was still a drop of honey . in the , draft of gall?

Great and noble woman! Here was thy brief nursery, the primary of thy earthly sojourn, in which thou didst help to awaken the jworld to the restoration of woman to the pedestal from which she had fallen, and didst stretch out a hand to raiso the. mighty lever "thatiinyeTpropel woman from her inertia, her apathy, her subordination and frivolity, her abjectness and her ignorance (all of which will have fulfilled their mission of the curse) and restored her to her? pristine position, when she walked forth into the garden ' A'hdirltLdl lo-rear-- i JEor comcrs' uturo greed.- - hairr g pre-siste- nt -- always. Surely the mother of Margaret Fuller felt this at the recital of the awful calamity that" had befallen her gifted child aye! and that -- child's-e- hi tempt to realize it, and make the case our own; yet ray consolation came when I pictured that noble, that highly and intensely educated soul passing "beyond the gates"into that Empyreum, the grandeur of which "eye hath not seen, ear WILL THE PURITAN..

The same gloomy sentiaient may gtt utterance in various directions I do not supjiosc that the idea of discrimination between Puritan and Pilgrim is often thought of, but that the reference is in general to those who came over in the Mayflower to those of like- - type arriving later, or landing elsewhere, to that people and their descendents whom we commonly recognize as the New England race.
