O! WOMAN! were it not for thee,
With all thy frailties still about thee,
This world the veriest hell would be,
And heaven itself no heaven without thee.
BY WILLAAM RAY, ESQ.
Pure and holy is the source,
Whence thy stream, O Zion, rose;
See majestic in its course,
Regions vast it overflows,
Fertilizing, like the Nile,
Barren continent and isle.
Angel-ministers attend
On its flow'ry margins meetHeavenly-choral anthems blend, (Music ravishingly sweet) With a Saviour's voice divine, Turning all its floods to wine.
Ho, ye thirsty, gather round,
Drink your everlasting fill!
Hear the gospel tidings sound-
"Peace on earth, to men good will!"
Yet unbroken is the strain,
Heard upon the shepherd's plain.
Christ, the Bishop of our souls,
Open will the channel keep;
Free the tide of mercy rolls,
As the billows of the deep;
Broad and copious as the wave,
In the mission that he gave:
"Ev'ry creature go and teach,
You I send as I am sent,
Wide ordained my word to preach,
Calling millions to repent-
This uninterrupted line
Shall be endless-is divine."
Lo the Church of Christ appears
Fair in lustre as the moon!
Brighter, from the night of years,
Than the cloudless sun at noon-
Terribly she moves along,
As an army-banner'd throng!
Life dispensing as she goes,
Glory beaming from her face,
Conquering her rebellious foes,
By the power of boundless grace-
By the Spirit's two-edg'd sword-
Through the might of Christ our Lord.
Mary Yates Hatch Pratt,
whose immortal spirit took its
flight, on the thirteenth day
of May, A. D. 1823, in
the fourth year of
her age.
She was the youngest child of Luther Pratt, editor of the Masonic Register.
Alas! dear child, thy spirit's fled,
"Too good wert thou in this vile
world to stay,
"Where nought but sin and sor-
row reign triumphant"
"Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God."
TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS.
To make room for the interesting Biographical Sketches of all the principal commanders engaged in the existing war between Spain and France, we are obliged to omit the continuation in this number, of "Sophia, or the Girl of the Pine Woods," together with sereral other miscellaneous articles of interest, which shall appear in our next.
J****m is premature. It is not our intention to interfere, at present, with the affairs of the grand lodge of the state of New-York; and far be it from us to "fan the embers" of discord, or to blow its coals into a flame.

Several of our agents at a distance, have neglected to forward lists of their sub bers' names, particularly those in the vicinity of Dundas, and Ancaster, in Upper da, St. John's, in Nova Scotia, and Waterloo, in the state of New-York, in each of places we have a very respectable subscription; besides a number of towns where
scriptions are not so extensive.
les and degrees to subscribers' names are omitted, as we found it impossible to em correctly, and of course have placed all upon a LEVEL.
