THKSANDWI H ISLANDS. By Mrs. M.

Kor pagan regions, cjraped with sin's dark pall, Stained deep with sins we shudder to recall; To scatter light, that thus the .human mind, By knowledge, virtue, niety, r<tined,' ifighi burst the midnight fetters, and inspire The soul with wisdom, and a pure desire To worship Him, who. while unknown they sought In various ways, unlearned and untaught, By offering up their first horn to atone Kor crimes'and follies which hy them were done; For these, the Messed Legates of the skies, Left their loved home of Massed memories; Left for their sakes the hrighest spots of earih, To tell the Indian of a Saviour's hirlh; To preach repentance 10 their fellow men, \ml thus at last, a glorious crown to gain; In that great day for which all days were made," There snail you stand in glorious robes arrayed, Behold your crowns ! see liow they sparkle bright ! Each jewel polished with celestial light! Let faith exert her saving power to view, What in reserve, is wailing now for you; See on these unknown shores a smiling band, Of angel seraphs; children, hand in hand, Waiting lor ypu, they sweep their golden lyres, The thoughts of meeting eveiy note inspires. Hush then your sighs, rejoice that you have given Your first-born beauties to your God in heave*; Rejoice that you have left your native land, Obeyed your risen Saviour's last command, 11 Go ye, and teach all nations in my name, Go, and salvation every where proclaim, la all your trials, lift your eye to me, Kor white I am. there surely yon shall be."
