IVRlTTtiN FOll THIS ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL OF THE HEBREW BENEVOLENT SOCIETY AT PORTSMOUTH , Jan . 0 , 1850 , BY MISS FANNY TOWNSEND MOEZE , A Young Lady of the Christian Faith . MY friendsit fills my heart with joy ,
, Around this board to see The Jew and Christian kindly meet In common sympathy . To feed the hungry and distress'd , To clothe the needy poor , Ye meet to night ; and prejudice Exists , I trust , no more .
No more the Christian will disdain The Israelite's embrace , Nor Jew refuse his brother help Because of Gentile race ; But hearken to the gentle voice Of sweet Fraternity , And grasp each other ' s friendly hands In peace and unity . Jewish Chronicle .
The Alps.
THE ALPS .
" THUOUED emblems of eterniy , that rear Above the earth-born clouds your mitred snows Which were , and are , and shall be to the close Of this world ' s being—with hope-temper'd fear I fain would read , in your sublime repose , A sanction for the humble course I steer Through the entroubled torrent that o'erflows The crumbling landmarks of onr English isle .
Alike in Winter ' s frown , or Summer ' s smile , In changeless Faith , like that of ancient Seer , Your steadfast gaze to Heaven is raised ; the while , From that fond aspect , blessing far and near , Bun the bright streams , that spread for many a mile Gifts weired as those of Egypt ' s mystic Nile . " * LORD Jons MAN ' NEIIS .
