THECoMPAsS.

The storm was loud; before the blast
u Our gallent barque was driven;
Their foaming crests the pillows reard,
And not one friendly star appear'd
Through all the vaults ofheaven.
Yet dauntless still the steersman stood,
EaAnd gazed, without sigh,
Where pois'd On needle bright and slim,
And lightedby the lantern dim,
The compass met bis eye,
Thence taught his darksome course to steer,
He breath'd no wish for day;
But brav'd the whirlwind's headlong might
Nor once throughout that dismal night
To fear or doubt gave way.
And what oft the Christians life
< But storm as dark and drear;
Through which, without one bllthsome ray
Or worldly bliss to cheer his way,
He must his vessel steer?
Yet let him meier to sorrow yield,
For in the sacred page
ACompass shines, divinely true,
And self ilIumin'd greets his view
. Amidst the tempests rage,
Then firmly let him grasp the helm,
Although the pillows roar;
Aud soon, his tolls and troubles past,
His anchor shall be safely cast
OnCanaan's happy shore!

bic, deformity, Of some kind or other, is
the natural result To this cause phvsi-
clans have ascribed the numerous instan-
ces ofchiIdfen dying of commissions soon
after their birth
The general rule which reason sug-
gests, in regard to the clothing of children,
is, THAT child have no more clothes
than are necessary to keep it warm, and
that they be quite easy for its body.' In
conformity to this rule, the dress of chill
dren should be simple, clean, light, and
cheap-free, wide, and open, so as Meth
err to impede the vital functions nor the
free and easy motions of the body, nor
prevent the access Of fresh air, and be ca
silly put on or taken eff. Pins should be
used as little as possible, and the clothes
chiefly fastened with strings, which would
prevent the occasional scratching of their
tender skins, and those alarming cries
which so frequently proceed from this
cause. Such light and simple dress
would induce children to live with less re-
straint IN the society Of each other, and
check that silly pride which leads them to
ape the fashions Of their suPeriors, and to
value themselves on account Of the fnery
of their clothes. During the first months,
the head and breast may be slightly COW
cred but as soon as the hair is sufficient
! ly long to afford protection, there appears
little necessity for either hats or caps, un-
less in seasons Of rain or cold. By keep
ing the breast and neck uncovered, they
acquire more frmncss, are rendered hard
Ter, and less susceptible of being affected
with cold. Besides, child has really a
more interesting aspect when arrayed in
the beautiful simplicity Of nature, than
when adorned with all the trappings which
art can devise. The following anecdote
related by Herodotus, illustrates the ad-
vantage connected with cool regimen of
the head -" After the battle fought be-
tween the Persians, under Cambvses, and
the Egyptians, the slain of both nations
were separated; and upon examining the
heads of the Persians, their skulls were
found to be so thin and tender that small
stone would Immediately perforate them
while, on the other hand, the heads Of the
Egyptians were so firm that they could
scarcely be fractured BY the largest stones
The cause of this remarkable difference
was attributed to the custom ofthe Egyp
tians shaving their heads from earliest in
fancy, and going uncovered in all states 0
the weather; while the Persians Away:
kept their heads warm by wearing heavy
turbans.

JOHN BuNYAN AND THE BIsHOP.

John Bunyan, who, as most people
know, was pastor Of the Baptist church at
Bedford, was much in the habit Of preach
ing in the surrounding villages, frequent
ly walking, with staff in his hand, many
miles within a week for that purpose In
his itinerant excursions he was often met
by the Bishop Of Peterborough riding in
his carriage. The Bishops coacLman
who was a dissenter, and sometimes heard
Bunyan preach, had made such rerrest Mt
atoms of his wonderful talents, as excited
his Lordship's curiosity; he consequent
Y ordered the man, the next time lie met
Mr. B., to let him know.
The coachman in a short time met Mr.
B. on the high road, and, as he was de-
Sired stopped the carriage, irtinIating
that that was Mr. Bunyan, and to Mr. b
that his LordShip wished to speak to him.
The Bishop, from his carriage window
then addressed the Nonconfornist. Mr.
Bunyan, | understand you are very clev-
er interpreting difficult passages OF Scrip
ture: what do you thnl; is the meaning
Of ST. Paul, when he says to Timothy
The cloak that | left at Troas with Car
pus, when thou contest bring with thee,
and the looks but especially the porch-
ments ?" "Whv, my Lord,' said Bun
yam, 1.-The passage is simple cnough.-
Paul was travelling preacher: Timo-
thy was a primitive Bishop. In those
days it was customary for Bishops to wait
on travelling preachers; Paul therefore
instructs Timothy to look ater his Tag
gage, and to bring it with him when he
comes. Times are altered since then
Now, Bishop ride, and travelling preach
crs walk' The Bishop threw himself
back in his carriage, cried "EIumrh,'

RULES FOR PREACHERS.

l. Be very sure you understand the
text yourself, before you attempt to make
others understand it.
2. Be animatrd-Ec emphatic Con-
vince your hearers that YOU are earnest );
but do not insult their judgments by ex-
travagant appeals to their passions, with
out cnlighten!ng their minds.
3. Remember you are placed in the
pull i: to teach. Study therefore, YOUR
subject thoroughly, and do not follow
right or wrong, standard commentators.
Think for yourself and when you have
new thoughts, communicate them, even if
they do tread a little upon the toes of other
expositors. And, at the same time, a
preacher should not aim to'be original,
merely for the sake Of it.
q. Approach your subject at once, and
BE SHORT.
S. Study to be eloquent if you have
powers of oratory, improve them. But
let theatrical afectation be banished from
the sacred place.

ADVICE TO You've Men. Show your
, love for your wife and your admiration Of
her, not in nonsencical compliment; not
in picking up her handkerchief, or carry
ing her in; not, though you have the
means, in hanging tlinkets and baubles
upon her; not in making YOU self fol
by winking at. and seeming pleased with
her foibIes or folIies or faults; but show
them by acts of real goodness towards her :;
prove by unequivocal Deeds the high val
ue you set on her health and life, and peace
ofmind let your praise Of her 60 to the
i full extent Of her deserts, bat let it be con-
sistert with truth and with sense, end
such as to convince her of your sincerity.
He who is the fattercr Of his wife, only
prepares her ears for the hyperboIcal
stuff Of others-The kindest appe}lation
that her Christian name affords, is the best
you can use, especially before faces. An
everlasting "mv dear" is but a sorry
compensation for a grant Of that sort Of
! love that makes the husband cheerfulIv
toll by day, break his list by night, en-
dure all sorts Of Eordshis if the life or
health Of his wife demand it. Let your
deeds, and not your words, carry to her
heart daiIv and hourly confirmation OF
the fact that you value her health, and
life and happiness, beyond all ether things
in the world and let this be manifest to
her, particularly at those times when life
is always more or less in danger.-C Cob

What Joy the blest assurance gives
In the journey of life there are hours when
the dropping spirit can not be sustained by
the consultations Ofearth, when sorrow filings
over the brow its Garkened shadow, when
0iSappointed hopes aud gloomy anticipations
bid us lean not on earth; and then how
sweet is the gospel! Wearied with the per-
picking cares of the week with an exhaust

hOmetan may performs his weary Iiigrlmage
to the tomb of his prophet; the devotce OF
Juggernaut may with frenzy throw himself
beneath the tremendous car; tut TO the dis
ciple of Jesus it belongs to triumph in a liv-
ing Redee1ner. Does he contemplate the
scenes of Gethsemanc and Calvary, and
there see the God of GLORY low and bleed
for sins he never knew? He turns from this,
and with piercing glance of faith behOldS
