(tr The following sublime ode to the Deity, is from
the Russian Anthology, and was written by the celebra
ted Dkrzhaven. . This poem is said to hare been trans
lated into Japanese, by order of the Emperor, and Is
hung up embroidered in gold in the temple of Jeddo
It has also been translated into the Chinese aud Tartar
laneuaees, written on a piece, of rich silk, and suspended
in the imperial palace at fekin. It was translated into
English, as follows, by Dr. Bowrino, and is said to have
lost much of its original beauty by the translation. It
is a noble composition, and should be preserved and
Committed to memory by every reader of the Sentinel.

O thou eternal One! whose presence bright
' All space doth occupy, all motion guide;
Uuchanged through tiines'8 all devastating flight,
Thou only God '. There is no God beside ! ,
; Being above nil beings! Mighty One! "
e Whom none cau comprehend and none explore;
Who fill'st existence with Thyself alone :
Embracing all, supporting ruling o'er . -.
Being whom we call God and know no more :
It its sublime research, philosophy
May measure out tho ocean deep may count '
The sands or the sun's rays but God ! for Thee
There is no weight nor measure : none can mount
Up to Thy niyatcries. Heason's brightest spark,
Though kindled by Thy light, in vain would try
To trace Thy counsels, iniiuite and (lark,
And thought is lost ere thought cau soar so high ;
E'on like past moments in eternity.
, Thou from primeval nothingness didst call, .
'First chaos, then' existence; Lord! on Thou
Eternity had its foundation: all
Sprung forth from Thee: of light, joy, harmony,
Pole origin : all life, all beauty Thine
, Thy word created all, and doth create;
Thy splendor fills all space with rays divine.
Thou art, and wert, and shall be, Glorious! Great".
Light giving, life sustaining Potentate!
Thy chains the unmeasured universe surround,
Upheld by Thee, by Thee inspired with breath ! 4
Thou the beginning with the end hast bound,
And beautifully mingled life and death !
... , As sparks mount u from the fiery blaze,
; So suns are born,'us worlds spring forth from Thee ;
' v And as tho spangles in the sunny rays ,
!hine round tho silver snow the pageantry
Of Heaven's bright army glitters iu Thy praise.
A million torches lighted by Thy hand
J Wander unweaiicd through the blue abyss:
-They own Thy power, accomplish thy command ; '
All gay with fife, nil eloquent with bliss,
What shall we cull thenff 1'iles of crystal light-:
A glorious compa ny of golden streams -l-Lamps
of celestial ethor burning bright r"l
Suns lighting systems with their joyous beams?
But Thou to theso art as tho noon to night.
Yes! as a drop of water in tho sea,
All this magnificence iu Theo is lost:
What are ten thousand worlds compared to Thee?
And what am I ilienj Heaven's unnumbered host,
Though multiplied by myriads, and arrayed
In all the glory of sublimest thought,
Is but an atom, in the balance weighed
Against thy greatness, is a cypher brought
Against infinity ! What am 1 then) Nought!
Nought! But the influence of Thy light divine,
Pervading worlds, hath reached my bosom too;
Yes! in my spirit doth Thy spirit shine
As shines the sunbeam in a drop of dew.
Naught! but I live, and on hope's pinions fly
Eager towards thy presence; for in Thee
I live, and breathe, and dwell; aspiring high,
Even id the throne of Thy divinity
I am, O God! and surely Thou must be!
Thou art! directing, guiding nil, Thou art!
' Direct my nnderstaniling then to Thee;
Control my spirit, guide my wandering heart:
Though but an atom 'midst immensity,
, Still 1 am something, fashioned by Thy hand !.
I hold a middle rank 'twixt heaven and earth,
On the last verge of mortal being stand,
Close to the realms whore angels have their birth,
Just on the boundary of the spirit land !,
The chaia of being is complete ill me;
In mo is matter's last gradation lost,
And the next step is spirit Deity!
I can command the lightning, and am dust! 1

"It was ono Sunday, as I travelled through the
county of Orange, that my eye. was caught by a
cluster of horses tied near a ruinous, old, wood
en houso in the forest, not far from the road side
Having frequently seen such objects before, in
travelling through these states, I bad no diflicuity
in understanding that this was a place of religious
worship.
"Devotion alone should have stopped tne, to
join iu the duties of the congregation ; but I must
confess, that curiosity to hear the preacher ot
such a wilderness, was not the least 01 my mo
tives. On entering,! was struck with his preter
natural appearance, lie was a tall ana very
spare old man ; his hcar which was covered with
a white linen cap, bis shrivelled hands, and his
voice, were all shaking under the jnlluence ot a
palsy; and a few moments asccriainef'. tc inc that

"The first emotions that touched my breast
were those of mingled pity and veneration. Tiut
how soon were all my feelings changed! The
lips of Plato were never more worthy of a prog
nostic swarm of bees, than were tho lips of this
holy man! It was a day of the administration of
tho sacrament; aud his subject was, ot course the
passion of our Saviour. . 1 had heard the subject
handled a thousand times: I had thought it ex
hausted long ago. Little did I suppose that, in
the wild woods of America, I was to meet with a
man, whose eloquence would give to this topic a
new and more sublime ' pathos, than I had ever
before witnessed. ' - ' v
"As he descended from the pulpit to distribute
the mystic symbols, there was a peculiar, a more
than human solemnity in his air and manner,
which made my blood run cold, and my whole
frame shiver.
"He then drew a picture of the sufferings of
our Saviour; his trial beiore rilate; his ascent up
Calvary; his crucifixion; and his death. I knew
the whole history; but never until then had 1
heard the circumstances so selected, so arranged,
so coloured! It was all new; and I seemed to
have heard it for the first time in my life. His
euuneiation was so deliberate, that his voice trem

'Father, forgivo them, for they know not what
they do, the voice ot the preacher, which had
all along faltered, grew fainter and fainter, until
his utterance being entirely obstructed by the
force of -his feelings, he raised his handkerchiet
to his eyes, and burst into a loud and irrepressi
ble flood of grief. The cfibct is5 inconceivable.
Tho whole house resounded with the mingled
groans, and . sobs, and slrriekB of tho-congi ega-

"It Was some time before the tumult subsided,
so far as to permit him to proceed. Indeed, judg-
as by tho usual, but fallacious standard ot my
own weakness, I began to be very uneasy for the
situation of the preacher. For 1 could not con
ceive how ho would let his audience down from
tho height to which he had wound them, without
impairing the solemnity and dignity ot Jits sub
ject, or perhaps shocking them by tho abruptness
of tho fall. But no: tho descent was as beau
tiful and sublime as the elevation had been rapid
and enthusiastic.
"The first sentence, with which he broke the
awful silence, was a quotation from Rosseau;
Socrates died like a philosopher; but Jesus Christ
like a God.

Ossian, and Milton, and associating with his per
formance the melancholy grandeur of their gem
uses; you are to imagine that you hear his slow,
solemn, well-accented enunciation, and his voice
of affecting trembling melody; you are to remem
ber the pitch of passion and enthusiasm, to which
the congregation were raised ; and then the lew
moments of portentous, death-like silence which
reiimed throughout the house: the preacher, re
moving hiB white nantiKercnici irom ins aged

tears,) and slowly stretching forth the palsied hand
which holds it, begins the sentence, 'Socrates
died like a philosopher then",, pausing, raising
his other hand, pressing them both, clasped to-
gethor, with warmth and energy, to his breast,
lifting his 'sightless balls' to heaven, and pouring
his whole soul into his tremulous voice 'but Je
sus Christ like a God !' . If he had been indeed
and in truth an ansol of light, the effect could
scarcely have been more divine.. Whatever 1
