MY GOD DIRECTS THE STORM.
The spirit ofthe tempest shook
His wing Of raven hue
Above the sea, ard hollow winds
Howled DER the waters blue.
Up rose the mountain pillows high
And swept stormy path;
Darkness and terror mingled there
Y Their ministry ofwrath.
A lonely bark, by bounding seas,
Tost wildly to and fro,
Dash'd per the pillows foaming brow,
To feurfnldepths below
Crash echoed crash! the quiyering spar
Broke DER the leaning side,
And left the bark shattered wreck,
The stormy waves to ride.
The sturdy seaman struggled hard
To hold the yielding helm,
And keep the ships PROV to the surge,
That threatened to o'erwhelm.
And when the plunging ruin spurned
Their impotent control,
They flew to drown their gloomy fear
In the accnroed bowl.
Upon the raging ocean then,
Helpless was left the bark.
To the wild mercy of the waves,
Amiu the tempest dark
Upon the deck alone there stood
A man of courage high;
A hero, from whose bosom fear
Had never drawn a sigh.
With folding arms, erect he stood,
His countenance was mild
And, calmly gazing on the scene,
He bowed his head and smiled.
A wild shrek from the cabin rose,-
Up rushed his beauteous bride
With locks dishevelled, and in tears,
She trembled at his side.
90! why, my love, upon thy lip
She cried, doth play that smile,
When all is gloom and terror here,
And ! must weep the while 2
No word the warrior spoke but he
Drew from beneath his vest
A poignard bright, and placed its point
Against her heaving breast.
She started not, nor shrieked in dread,
AS she had shreked before;
But stood astonished and surveyed
His tranquil features o'er
Nov why he asked, 'dost thou not start
May not thy blood be spiltP
With sweet composure she replied,
'.ay husband holds the hih?
'Dost wonder, then, that am calm,
That fear shakes not my form!

CONSEQUENCES OF ERRoR.-Take car,

CONSEQUENCES OF FERRoR.-Take care
what thou sowest, as if thou vert taking
care for eternity. That sowing, Of
which the scripture speaketh, what is it ?
Yesterday. perhaps, some evil tempta-
ton came upon you--the opportunity Of
unrighteous gain, or of unhallowed in
diligence, came, either in the sphere Of
business, or Of pleasure, of society, or Of
solitude. If you yielded to it, then and
there, did you plant seed Of bitterness
and sorrow. Tomorrow, it may be,
will threaten discovery; and agilated,
alarmed, you will cover the SIN, and bu-
ry it deeper,in falschood and hypocrisy.
In the hiding bosom, in the fruitful soil of
kindred vices, that sin does not, but
thrives and grows; and other, and still
other germs of evil gather around the
accursed root, ill from that single seed
of corruption, there springs up in the
soul all that is horrible in habitual lying,
knavery. or vice. Long before such a
life comes to its close, its poor victim
may have advanced within the very pre-
cincts of hell. Yes. the hell of debt, OF
of disease, of ignominy, or of remorse,
may gather its shadows around the steps
OF the transgressor even on earth; and
yet these-if holy scripture be unerring
and sure experience be prophetic these
are but the beginnings Of sorrows
The evil deed may be done alas in a
moment--in one fatal moment; but con-
science never dies; memory never
sleeps; guilt never can become inno-
cence; and remorse can never, never
whisper peace. Pardon may come from
heaven; but selfforgiveness may never
come.

DEATH OF NATHANIEL MACOr

DEATH OF NATHANIEL MACON.
The Warrenton, N. C. Reporter of Satur-
day last, comes shrouded in mourning for
the death of one OF the most virtuous and il
luscious men, who graced our country.
The Reporter announces the melancholy
Intelligence in the following simple terms:
at is with feelings OF deep regret we
have to announce the death of the Hon.
NATHANIEL MACON. He departed this life
at his residence in this county, on Thursday
morning last, the 29th of June, in the SD
year of his ages"
The whole nation will sincerely share in
this deep regret. Mr.. Macon was one of
those patriots who fill vast space in the
nations eyes He was along time mem
Der OF Congress from the state of North Car
olina. He was in the House of Represen-
tatiVes in the trying crisis of 5-09-and
for many years afterwards. He was once
Speaker OF the HOuse-and he subseauent-
Iy served as member ofthe Senate of the
U. States At all times he was a firm Re-
publican--the pure patriot-lhe excellent
cluzen-the honest man. No one ever
more completely realized the elevated char
ac'er OF the Roman poet; "Jusfem et tena-
Gem propOSito Uirunl." But we forbear
we leave it to abler pens to do justice to
Nathaniel Macon.
lie was the bosom friend of Jefferson
and OF Madlsoh-ho one was more devoted
10 him, than John RandoIph-no one had
formed loltier opinion of him, than he
4il upon the most intimate acquaintance.
In the paper which he wrote for his last
will IN January, 1882, he leaves the follow
ing memorable tribute in honor ofhs friend:
$40 Nathaniel Macon | give and be-
queath my Oldest high silver candesticks,
my silver punch lade with whalebone ham
die, pair Of silver cans with handles, and
my crest engraved thereon, my hard metal
dishes that have my crest of j. r. in old
English letters engraved thereon, also the
plates with the same engraving, the choice
OF four OF my best mares and geldings, and
the gold watch by Roskell, that was Tudo's
with the gold chain; and may every bless
ing attend him, the best and purest and wi
