The sweep majestic of the river's brow,

Which far above extends from shore to shore-
(It glows in memory's magic mirror now,)

Heaven's bright blue arch rising behind and o’er-
The Lakesprung torrents—as with ceaseless roar,

Over the everlasting rocks they roll,
Forever to the dizzy leap before

All rush at once upon the startled soul,
At the first transient glance your eye throws o'er the whole.
But sight is mingled at the heart with sound-

The loud, the deafening thunder of the fall,
Which seems at first all feeling to confound,

The brain to madden and the breast appal,
And spread annihilation over all !-

The dazzling whiteness of the sheeted foam,
Which to the eye seems like a snowbuilt wall,

On which is reared a bright Cerulean doine,
That Poets well might take for fancy's airy home ;-
The clouds of rising and dissolving spray,

Which wave and wanton in the gusty wind,
On which the sunbeams hold their

magic play,
Painting gay rainbows of each glorious kind;
That change their shape and colour, like the mind

Of soft and ductile youth, with every scene,
Of light and shade—now swelling unconfin’d,

In matchless beauty with resplendent sheen-
Now bursting-leaving but the black abyss between ;-
The dark and dripping cliffs which overhead,

Rise like the warbuilt towers of ancient time,
Breathing defiance, and inspiring dread,

Which echo back with emphasis sublime,
The cataract's awful sounds, in measur'd chime,

Rolling along the deep and distant pass,
Until at length the bloodstain'd heights they climb,

Where swell'd the roar of battle--when, alas !
Our country's sons and foes fell in one mingled mass ;-
And the still darker torrent at your feet,

Whose greenwreath'd floods boil up from the abyss,
To whose unfathom'd depths, in one broad sheet,

They thundering fell—whose tides with horrid hiss,
Like venom’d serpents vast, do secm, I wis,

Writhing in pain, and madly rushing by,
Towards far Ontario's bed :-All-all, of this,

Must have struck on the heart—the ear-the eye-
To wake the burning soul of its sublimity.

0! I have thought--and thought did well beseem

A scene so fraught with wondrous majesty,
If with such wonders His creation teem,

What must the glory of the Author be !
With what deep reverence and humility,

Ought we to bow before His mighty hand -
Lord of Creation and Eternity !

Shall human pride not quail at His command ?
The thunder of His power, O who can understand !

PLEASING INTELLIGENCE OF THE SAFETY OF DR. JUDSON.
Copy of a Leiter from Mr. R. A. Newton, Calcutta, to 7. Evarts, Esq. Boston, dated Calculia, May 23, 1825.
My dear Sir, It gives me infinite pleasure to acquaint you that Mr. and Mrs. Judson are alive and well. Accounts have
this day been received of them; they have been liberated, and sent with other European prisoners to treat with the
British Commander for Peace. A peace will undoubtedly be made immediately, and all be well. I request you to give
all possible publicity to this communication, as the Christian world is deeply interested in the fate of these respected
persons.

Yours, &c. E. A. NEWTON.
