By Mist H. F. Gould. ’Twa9 for this they reared the vine, Fostered every leal and shoot, Loved to see its tendrils twine, And cherished it from branch to root! ’Twas fur this, that from the blast It wai screend and taught to run, That its fruit might ripen fast, Oe’r the trellis, to the sun. And for this they rudely tore Every cluster from the stem; ’Twas to crush us till we pour Out our very blood lor ftiem. Well, though we are tortured thus, Still our essenre shall endure, Vengeance they shall find, with us, May be slow, but will be sure. And the longer we are pent Pi out the air and cheering light, Greater, when they give us vent, For our rest shall be our might.' And our spirits, they shall see, Can assume a thousand shapes: These are wotds of verity, Uttered by the dying grapes. Many a stately form shall reel, YVhen our power is left within, Many a foolish tongue reveal YYhat a recent draught has been: Many a thoughtless, yielding youth, YYith his promise all in bluum, Go frum paths ol peace and truth. To an early, shameful tomb. We the purse will oft unclasp, All its go'.deri treasure take, And the husband in our grasp, Leave the wife with heart to break. "While his babes are pinched with cold, We will bind him to the bowl, Till his feature we behold Glowing like a living coal. We will bid tbegown-nian put To Ilia lip a glass or two, Then we’ll stab him in the foot, Till it oversteps the shoe, And we’ll swell the Doctor’s bill, While he parries us in vain; He may cure, but we will kill Till our thousands we have slain. When we’ve drowned (heir peace and health, Strength and hopes wirhin the bowl, More we’ll ask than life or wealth, Wee’ll require the very soul! Ye who from our blood are free, Take the charge we give you now, Taste not, till ye wait and see If the grapes'forget their vow. From the Now York Observer. PRAYER OF THE EMPEROR OF CHINA FOR RaIN. On thc3Ut of May last an official paper was published by the Emperor of China, lamenting the want of rain- lie had previously directed sacrifices to be made to the gods, and “ devout ly knocked his head on the ground,” but with out effect. “ His scorc hing anxiety had conti nued night and day, and hour, after hour, he look ed earncs'ly for rain; but none had fallen.” He had turned his thoughts in upon himself, and his government, but had found nothing amiss.— 7, Ht, own conduct,” he says rather proudly, “ ought to have induced a sweet harmony be tween the rain-bearing clouds above,—and the parched earth below, but this had not been the effect; and, therefore, in this official paper, the Emperor directs “ a mitigation of punishment for convicted persons in the province of Pekin [except in the case of great crimes, ] and or ders that •» accused arsons should be brought to a speedy and fair trial;” that “ imprisoned wit nesses should be at once confronted with the op posite parties, or beset at liberty on bail;’ and hat “ all small offences be immediately dispos ed of and the parties liberated.” *• I bus [he adds 1 we may hope for ti.nely, gema , and fruc tify ing-show era. Let the Criminal BoardI im mediately obey these commands. Respect this. This Iasi coulrivance was as ineffectual as all that had preceded it The drought wii severe; and continued still for many weeks. The Em Deror Kings and Princes “fasted and prayed once in seven days, before altar, dedicated to the gods of heaven, the gods of the earth, of the year, of the land, of the gram, and finally to im perial heaven itself, and also to imperial earth, Lwith all the saints.” Hit Majesty, morever, sent a King to Tae Shan, “the great mountain, in Sbangtung province, with Tibetan incenij mitctttlto p«J for r.i» io th. tmperor’..Ir.d But ,11 wit of no ntail.ood at >*»• ““ lbe Mlb ol July, the Emperor offered up tha following. Prayer .or Raw. written by hi. J jetty Taou kwang, and offered up on the 28M ^day of the sixth month of the \2lhyear of hu retwi—July 25th, A. D. 1832. »»Kneeling, » memorial hereby presented, to cause affairs to be heard. »»Oh, Alas! Imperial Heaven, were not the is past, and no rain has fallen. Not only do ag riculture and human beings feel the dire calami ty; but also beasts and insects, herbs and trees, almost cease to lire, I, the Minister of Heaven, am placed over mankind, and am responsible for keeping the world in order, and tranquilizing the people.— Although it is now impossible for me to sleep or a at with composure; although I am scorched with grief and tremble with anxiety; still, after all, no genial and copious showers have been obtain ed. “ Some days ago, I fasted, and offered rich sa crifices on the altars of the gods of the land arid the grain; and had to be jhankful for gathering clouds and slight showers; but not enough to cause gladness. Looking up, I consider that Heaven's heart is benevolence and love. The sole cause is the daily deeper atrocity of my sins; my little sin cerity and little devotion. Hence I have been unable to move Heaven’s heart, and bring down abundant blessings. Having respectfully searched the records, I find, that, in the 24th year of Keenlung, my Im perial grand-father, the high, honorable, and pure Emperor reverently performed a » great snow service.’ 1 feel impelled bv ten thousand consi derations, to look up and imitate the usage, and, with trembling anxiety, rashly assail heaven, ex amine myself and consider my errors, looking up, and hoping that I may obtain pardon. I ask myself, whether in sacrificial services I have been disrespectful? Whether or not pride and prodigality have had a place in my heart, spring tllg up UICIC UIJUU3CI VCU( VV IlCillClf IIUIU 1111 length of time, i have become remise in attend ing to the affairs of government; and have been able to attend to them with that serious dili gence, and strenuous effort, which I ought. Whether I have uttered irreverent words and have deserved reprehension? Whether perfect equity has been attained in conferring rewards or inflicting punishments? Whether in raising mausoleums and laying out gardens, I have dis tressed the people and wasted property? Whe ther in the appointment of officers 1 have failed l to obtain fit persons, and thereby the acts of gov ernment have been petty and vexatious to the people? Whether punishments have been un justly inflicted or not? Whether the oppressed have found no means of appeal? Whether in persecuting heterodox sects, innocent have not been involved? Whether or not the magistrates have insulted the people, ami refused to listen to their affairs? Whether in the successive military operations on the western frontiers there may have been the horrors of human slaughter, for the sake of Imperial rewards?. Whether the larges ses bestowed on the afflicted southern provinces were properly applied; or the people were left to die in the ditches? Whether the efforts to exter minate or pacify the rebellious mountaineers of Hoonau and Canton, were properly conducted; or whether they led to the inhabitants being . trampled on as mire or ashes? To all these top ics, to which my anxieties have been directed, I ought to lay the plumb line, and strenuously en deavor tu correct what is wrong: still recollec ting that there may be faults which have not oc curreu to me in my ineuiiauun. Prostrate I beg Imperial Heaven, Ilwjang Teen, to pardon my ignoranco and stupidity; and to grant me self-renovation; for tnyriada of innocent people are involved by me, a single man. My sins are so numerous, it ia difficult to escape from them. Summer ia past, and autumn arrived; to wait longer will be iwpn^ib1** — Knocking my head, 1 p ay, in j» »i • lleav n, to hasten and confer gracious deliverance,—a spee dy and divinely beneficial rain; to save the peo ple’s live**; and in anme degree redeem my ini quities; Oh—A'aa! Imperial Heaven, observe these things!—Alas! Oh Imperial Heaven, be gracious t«i them. I am ineapressibly grieved, alarmed, and frightened. Reverently this me morial ia presented.” Boot and SloYt.
