      « I WILL HATE MERCY AND NOT SACRIFICE . " Lijtes for the considtiation of those who pay tithe of mint and a anise , attend to outward relisioos observances , —but nfglect lo do justice and loye mercyj the weightier matters of the law . Te call me great , and food , and jast , The needy ' s stay and tbs orphan ' s trnst ; Ye name n » j name in yonr place of prayer . And Epe . ' -k of my loving-kiadne&s there ; Your bauds are spread to my holy throne , Your lips mst- ausic to me alone , And ycur songs below are like those above , And their mntual theme is . the God of love .

      Bat my ear is filled with ar ether strain—* Tis tfce piercing plaint of unheeded pain , The deep , dread tones of a nation ' s wail , As the hearts of her strong men faint and fail It his stili'd the raptured seraph ' s lyre , It is longer far than yonr loftiest choir , It has risen first to the golden gate , And plsads like a claimant that will not wait And shiU I cot in my strength arise . And avenge me on all who the claim despise ?

      Ye bear it not or ye eive no heed ; In vain with yon do the people plead ; As your hizh hea ?;" s * purn their lowly suit , As your eirs are de ^ f . Ut your iips be mute ; For yonr chorns of prii ? e I cmnot tnar , Ani siy gpiiit contemns yonr solemn prayer . Your hornag :- is hollow , yonr worship naught , Tee incense with odour is all uafr-j usht ; Unleaven'd by love such gifts I ec m—Ye hevd not your brethren ' s cose forlorn !

      Occe , in the Ispse of ages past , 3 dy people were heW in fettera fast , In a land of drought and the shadow of death , Where they spent for others their sweat and breath Bat they prayed to me in their starless night , And I heard and pitied their dismal plight ; ily band their tyxact-tronWcr smote , And for them a grez . t deliTersDcs 'BTen ^ bt ; ¦ Till the peopJe " * rigbtfvl can ? e prevailed , Ana I was the Lord of tkeir frtedcai hailed . * Ye read s ^ d admire my grace disnl-y'd ,

      Wita I cave these tran . p ' e-d bondfiten aid ; Their de&ds joar eabbatb-sones employ , Ar . d you shan .- in their jubilee of j -j , ] n thanfcs for freedom ' s flzbt and ks e -f Wki ' si s ' arfry iird . es your oicn domain , Atn bras-is with it » j . » y-d : sp llin 8 sha-Je Yonr felloT-: ^ tn in my Im 2 . se made ; Ihoa ^ j its withc-r-Dg blign : on thousands fall , ThoMh its banner of dresd is tbfir rnrial-poll , Thrazh its cords are crushing my children dear Till -ife is stayed in its yonng career ,

      I did not te ; l the circumstance to my master at all ; lshouM have done so , but deceased kept saying he would to away ; I wished him to go away , because 1 told him I should get into trouble , and on Thursday afternoon I got another person to help me , and we got him out o ? thr- hay-loft .

      LEEDS . —Chakgk of Stealing Tallow . —On Tuesday last a case of this nature , iu which the prisoner's name was Charles Wrigglesworth , came before the sitting magistrates , Ralph Markland , Esq ., and Wm . Smith , Esq ., at the Leeds Court-House . The prosecutore were Messrs . Sellers , tallow-chandlers , in the Shambles . From the evidence for the prosecution , it would appear that the prisoner disposed of a quantity of tallow to a butcher of tho name of Henry Wormald , on Saturday ni ^ ht last , for the sum of £ 1 2-. 6 d ., it having been previously taken from the premises of the prosecutors . On the other band for the defence , the evidence went tn show that Wormald had some criminal

      i knowledge of ths transaction , from tho Sf-veral ! contradictory ver > ions given by him of the purchase : of Messrs . Seller's tallow , and alfo that ho was s ill ' further implicated in transactions of a similar j nature , having disposed of other stolen tallow along I with that more iu < mcdiately in quesiiou b' lungint ; j to Mr . Geor » e Bi-verlcy , butcher , and to wiiom , on \ the disccvery of his tallow , Wormald had £ ivrn a , consideration to let th . ; matter atreat , and he would i afterwards find him tho man of whom he pmchus ^ d j it . The evij-ncj for the defence also went to show j that the pritoiujr was absent at the time of the ! alleged robbery and disposal of the taliow tn i Wormald . AUosrther such was tho contl ' iieiiP . roiy 1 nature of the evidence , thac the niagidtralts decided ; that-they had nothing wherewith to send u ; o case : before a jury , and hence they dismissed the prisoner .
