SACRED LYRIC.
Where can I go from Thee!
All present Beity!
Nature, and time, and thought, thine im
press bear;
T?;rough earth, or sea, or sky.
Though far afar! I fly,
I turn, and find Thee present with me there.
The perfume of the rose,
And every flower that blows,
All mark thy love, in clusters of the vale;
The corn that crowns the fields,
The fruits the garden yields,
Proclaim the bounties that can never fail.
The vapor and the cloud,
The thunder bursting loud,
Speak of Thy majesty in words of flame;
The ocean as it roars,
Lashing the rocks and shores',
Declares from what a mighty hand it came.
The vasty globes that roll,
Each on its own firm pole,
Thro' all the boundless fields of space alone,
Prove that indeed Thou art,
The life-wheel and the heart.
Of systems to our little world unknown.
From Thee I cannot fly;
Thine all-observing eye,
Marks the minutest atom of thy reign;
How far so'er I go,
Thou all my path would'st know,
And bring the wanderer to this earth again.
But why should I depart?
'Tis safety where Thou art;
And could one tpot thy being hold,
I, poor, and vain, and weik.
That sacred spot would seek,
And dwell within the shelter of Thv fold !

still in so perfect a state of pre
servation, was the contemporary
of Moses, and officiated as in

shrine of the God Mandon, at
Thebes, in Upper Egypt, more
than 3300 years ago.
Internal Improvements. ti the
Legislature of New-Jersey, all the
great projects for internal im
provements failed; and even the
bill making an appropriation ofj
S2000 to assist the inhabitants oi
Pahaquarry, in Warren county, to
make a road round the Blue
Mountains at the Water Gap, was
negatived in council. The Dela
ware and Raritan Canal bill was
lost in council, that branch divi
ding upon it, 7 to 7. The rail
road bills were all negatived.
The S10,000, part of the bonus
paid the state by the Delaware
and Raritan Canal Company, re
tained last year by the Legisla
ture, to pay for legislating on that
subject, has, been returned to tlifc
stockholders. The bill to loan
the credit of the state to the Mor
ris Can.nl Company, to the amount
of 8500,000, was negatived in
the Assembly.

And lastly, it cannot be, that so respect
