lFrom the London Evangelical MagaziI
THE COMPASS.
The storm was loud-belore the blast,
Our gallant bark was driven;
Their foaniing cresls the bilows reared,
And not one friendly star appeared,
Through all the vaults Of heaven.
Yet dauntlcs. still the steersman stood,
Aud gazed without u sigh,
Where poised ON needle bright and slim,
And lighted by u innthorn dim,
The compass meets his eye.
Thence taught his darksome course TO steer,
He breaIhed no wish for day
But braved the whirlwind's hcad-long might,
Nor once throughout that dismal night,
To fear or doubt gave way
Aud what is OF the Christian's life
But storms as dark and drear,
Through which without one blithsome ray
OF worldly bliss To cheer his way
He must his vessel steer
Yet let him ne'er to sorrow yield,
For In the sacred page
A compass shines diyinely true,
And selfillumined greets his view,
Amidst the Tempest rage.
Then firmly let him grasp the helm
Though loud the billows roar,
And soon his tolls and troubles past,
His anchor he shall safely cast
On Canaan's happy shore.

VEGET.ABLE HAIR OIL,

Giving health and beauty to the hair
when it becomes dry and
begins to decay.
NNilIS Vegetable Oil possesses the peculiar
Il but perty, SO long sought for in otheroils,
prosought in vain, of reproducing anew growth
Of hair on heads totally bald.
So great are its nourishing properties,
whichit readily imparts to the roots Of the hair,
that il requires Tut a short time TO produce new
growth, and few applications TO check that falling
Of the hair which often occurs, especially aiici
sickness. II prevents the hair from turning grey,
and when il begins TO turn, may be easily check

This Oil gives an agreeable fragrance
and is preferable to any other for perfuming, curl

wonderfully improved by the use of this Oil.
Ladies and gentlemen Of the highest rank have
patronized this Oil very extensively, and such
have been its effects in every city where it has
been introduced it receives the decided prefer
ence.
Physicians inferior to none in Medical science, },
have used and recommended it. The concur
ring testimony Of thousands put it beyond n
doubt, SO that the most incredulous no longer
hesitate.
The Oil needs no high wrought description /;
such is its worth and so highly is it valued by
those who have made trial Of it, that it stands
and will stand upon its own merits unrivalled.
The following extracts Of letters from Agents,
show in what high estimation this Oil is held
wherever it has been introduced Extract from
letter from John A. Wadsworth, NJ d Of the

We see announced the death Of John Will
son Adams, editor Of the st. Vincent Chroni'
Gle, who - ingUished himself by his long
and zeslo 64 Efforts to effect the enancipali",l
of the neg noes. Like Wilbcrforce, he died
ust as his labors were crowned with sue
cess.
The Barbadian complains bitterly Of Ger.

citing The labOrers To- insubordination and
ldleness, persuadng' them to work only ionI
days in the week instead Of live, as required
by the planters.
The siand of Barbados had been favored
with abundance Of rain, during the last week
of August.
The Trinidad STANDARD of August 10 gives
very gratifying accounts Of the working OF
he emancipation in that island. The first
,hreo days Of August were given up, by mu-
tual consent, as a holy day, after which the
negroes generally went quietly TO work and
there was every appearance that things would
20 on well and harmoniously.

without allowances, for the middling class
eight dollars, aud for the highest twelve dol
lars, with M allowance of half a pound OF salt
ish and two drams OF rum per day. Con
tracts were generally made, however, by the
day, at shillings currency for days task
If given measurement, with an allowance
f fish and rum. In all cases the laborcrs
have their houses and provision grounds free

The st. Vincent Gazette of the | lth says
that The laborers generally have refused to
work, standing out for higher wages. The
terms offered them were one shilling aud
,ixpence currency per diem for the highest
class, with house, provision ground, medicine
aud medical attendance and they demanded
Two and sxpence per diem, with allowances
Of clothing, sugar, salt fish and rum.
The accounts from Demcrara and St.
Christophcr's were favorable: from Berbice
rather the other way. From st. Lucia they
were very bad in some parts of that island,
the conduct of the negroes was so alarming

ATTEMPT TO MURDER GIN. ATKINSON
The Louisville, Ky. Journal has the follow.
ing I'VE are Informed, that, as Gen. Akin
son and his family were recently returning
to Jefferson Barracks from st. Louis, where
they had been on n visit, the carriage which
they were riding in was attacked by two ruff
fans, one Of whom seized the rcins of the
horses whilst the other placed himself immc-
diatcly in front to stop the carriage until the
arrival of several accompices who were close
at hand The driver, who fortunately had q
pistol, shot the person who held the rens,
and, putting whip to his horses, succeeded in
extrcating The party from further peril. 1t
will be rccolected, that, few weeks ago,
Judge Dougherty, one Of the most respocta-
be citizens OF st. Louis, was murdered upon
the same road, and % doub. the General and
his family were preserved from similar fate
by the presence Of mind Of his carriage dri-

were unable to trace tho assailants. Con.
siderable blood was discovered upon the spot.
but the occornpliccs, to avoid detc clion had
