"If craving hunger I could feel,
"Think'st thou to thee I would appeal?
"To thee-when all the world I own,
"And all the fulness it hath known?
"Deem'st thou the flesh of bulls my food,
"Or that of goats I drink the blood?

"To me with humble praise draw nigh,
“And pay thy vows to God Most High;
"In trouble bring thy griefs to me,
"And I will thy deliverer be ;

"The succour and defence be thine,
“And all the grace and glory mine!”

O İsrael! may these words of love
Resistless in their influence prove-
Lead thee to seek Messiah's face,
And own the riches of his grace,
A sacrifice, for sin who bled,
And suffered in the sinner's stead!

AUGUST, 1848.

CARISBROOKE.

THE pretty village of Carisbrooke, represented in our engraving, is chiefly remarkable for its castle, which is great antiquity, and occupies an elevated and commanding situation, from which the prospect on all sides is striking and beautiful. It dates from the sixth century, since which great alterations and additions have been made; though its present appearance is truly venerable.

The entrance is by a bridge on the west side; after which, passing over a second bridge, we arrive at a strong machiolated gate with a portcullis, flanked by two round towers, in which there are prison-rooms. The passage into the castle-yard is through this old gateway. On the right hand, as we enter the area, is the chapel of St. Nicholas, and behind it a cemetery, now converted into a garden. The chapel was erected in 1738, on the ruins of an ancient

one.

On the left hand are the ruins of the buildings where King Charles the First was imprisoned. The stone-work of a window with an upright iron bar, such as is seen in old built houses in country villages, is still remaining. In this room he partook of the little repose his sufferings permitted; and through this window, it is said, he endeavored to make his escape: the particulars are thus related
