CAUTlON.—Milners' Holdfast Safes are of three qualities—.
the cheapest superior to any other safes—and range under three

Safe, List No. 3, at 158. per foot; Milners' First-class Strong
Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe, List No. 4, at 20s. per foot. The
public are deceived by comparisons being made between the
prices of the latter superb class of Milners' Safes and the inferior
articles offered by incompetent makers to booksellers, ironmon-
gers, brokers, or any others who will incur the serious responsibi-
lity of selling them, which are really worthless articles, and dear
at any price. What greater delusion than an unsafe Safe?

LINES
WRITTEN AT SEA DURING A SERIOI7S ILLNESS.

THE sun declining still doth cast its glare
O'er wide expanse of calmly-motioned sea :
Some mystic power commingles with the air,
Sadd'ning the soul amid tranquillity.
'Twere hard to die,—to die on this•lone•deck;
A stranger even to the uncouth few
That share with me a solitary speck
'Midst the vast ocean I so faintly view.
0, friends and kindred, ties and scenes endeared
By dreary absence and its untold ill !
The heart cannot disown you—still unseared,
It owns you bind it to earth firmly still.
And must I know no more your fond embrace ?
No more my eager hand by yours be prest ?
Ne'er view again scenes mem'ry well can trace
Through hours of fever'd sickness and unrest.
Was it for me decreed—so sad a fate !
That deep 'mid ocean's bed should be my grave ?
Here the stray sea-bird wildly seeks its mate,
And all seems loneliness, and sky, and wave.
But greedy sharks now follow in our wake,
And precognite, maybe, my coming end :
My shuddering soul! look upward and forsake
Distempered fancies—Heaven may yet befriend!
0, God! avert the dread impending doom.;
Restore my feeble frame, and let me live;—
Or, if this may not be, dispel this gloom,
And resignation calm and holy give.
Alas ! I have too seldom from this sought
That peace which, aicken'd now, I fain were giv'n :
0, great Creator! purify my thought,
Too earthly yet to fit my soul for Heaven.
South of the Equator. HENRY POWELL PRIEST-.
