From the llostnn Intelligencer. The fo'.lvjwinpj Sacred Melody Was written by a lady of Ho'-iion, and orijjlrn'.ly sung1 f.t th-; Oratorio perform ed by t!i? Handel and Hityden Society, and has never been ptib.ihed:3 "COD IS THERE." I.i life's gs spring, enchanting hours 1 When ev ry path seems decu'd with lljwers, ' When f illy, in her gul ly round, Vreen'.s tlio cup with p easure tfrnwo'd i When love and jay ''d young delight, Give to th moments rapid ft ght ; Touch n;)t. Ibe cti1,), avoid the snure, Where'er tho'i art, think GoJis there. When manhood treads wiib step secure, Then mad ambition throws her lure 11 mods up glory's dang'rous steep, Whi'e widows mourn, and orphans weep t And laurels on the hero s head Are stained with blond, a crimson red ; Then 'ere the bnt tie's rage you dare, l'ause and reflect, that Cad ii there ! When age approaching warps the hearjj And av'rice plays its, niggard part ; When sSlf-ove ev'ry passion stills, And ev'ry finerimpulse chills, When to a sivfPriug bnither'n cry It shuts the heart, the ear, the eye ; Think, 'ere you have him to despair, God will avenge, for Cod is there. And thou, who through life's thorny road, Perplex'd by care and sin, hast trod ; Whoss heart hath bted, whose eyes hath wept, On pleasure couch, while-others slept.; Though now on life's remotest brink, Pool" humble Christian ! do mt. shrink ; Though deep the flood, each doubt forbear. Sitting to- support, tby Gid is there- ibah, winch hath continued down to this (Jar without the least injjrjr from time or accidents. , It is a. block of ejramte marble, about four jards square, tying totteringas it were, and loose in the middle of the valley, and seems to have for uurly belonged to Mount Sinai, which hangs in a variety of precipice all over thin plain. The irutcrs which gushed out : and the stream whichr' jVavd withal, have hollowed across one'eor-' ncrofthU tock, a channel about two inches -' deep and twenty wide, appearing to be cr p stat ed an over like the insiue ol a. tea kettle that hath been long in use. Besides several mosiv productions that are stitl preserved by the dew, ' we see all over this channel a grat number of holes, some of them four or five inches deep and one or two in diameter, the lively and demon- strable token ot their having been formerly so many iountams. it iiKgwise may ue lortner observed, that art or chance could by no mean be concerned in the contrivance i for every circumstance points out to us a miracle : and in- the same manner with the rent ruck of Mount . Calvary at Jerusalem neve fails to product' a religious surprize in all who see it." ' ' POC0CKE. " Here they show the Rock, which, they say Moes struck and the waters Bowed out, w'ert 0 id told him he would stand before him upon the rock of H reb, which was aftei wards called Masiah and Meiibah, It is on the foot of Mount Seric, and is a red granite stone, fifteen feet long, ten wide, and about twelve high. On both, sides of" it, towards the south end and at the top of the stone, for about the breadth of ight inches, it is discolored as by the running of wa ter : and all dow n this part on both sides, and at the top are a sort of openings or mouths some 01 which resemble the lion's mouth, that is semetimes cut in stone spouts, but appear not to .c the work of a tool. There are, about twelve on each side, and within every one is a; horizontal crack, and in some also a crack per pendtcularly down, lhere is also a crack trom one o-the mouths next the hill, that extends two oi three feet towards the north, and all around (he south end The drabs call this stone, theatone of Muses. In 1722, a person called the Profetto of the Franciscans in Egypt, made the same tour.' His manuscript journal was afterwards trans lated by the Bishop of Clogher, the Rev. Rooert1 Clayton.
