Excerpt from Sacred and Household Poetry: Gathered From the Highways and by-Ways

Several others will, it is believed, be new to the Ameri can reader. They were found among a large number of English sheet tracts in verse, which have been recently selected by a lady residing in London, and sent to her relatives in this city, Slight attempt has been made at systematic arrangement. It is deemed, that the course of poetic sentiment and feel ing should not, like that of the canal, be confined and guided to suit a specific, practical purpose. Rather, like the river, let it wind along, at its own sweet will, through green meadows and fertile valleys through the dark and tangled wilderness, and dashing over rocks and precipices, let it ripple and murmur about the very towers and battle ments of the King of Terrors so it may but reflect the warm beams 'of the sun of Righteousness -se the Star of Peace and hope the Star of Bethlehem, shines up through its clear depths, it is enough. If in rare ih stances, it reflect only the light, but not the direct rays of that sun, let it be forgiven.

As I write, sits beside me, one whose crown of glory is not yet exchanged for the one he will cast at the feet of his Saviour. I am not indifferent to the good opinion of the public; but if this little work meet his approval, my more earnest wish will be fulfilled.
