THE COMPASS

THE COMPASS.
The following chaste and beautiful lines arc iron
e London Evangelical Magazine.
The storm was loud-before the blast
Our gallant bark was driven;
Their foaming cTests the pillows roared,
And not one friendly star appeared,
Through all the vaults Of heaven.
Yet dauntless still the steersman Stood
And gazed without sigh,
Where poised on needle bright and slim,
And lighted by lanthorn dim,
The compass meets his eye.
Thence taught his darksome course TO steer
He breahed no wish for day;
But braved the whirlwiDd's head-long might,
Nor once throughout that dismal night,
To fear or doubt gave way.
And what is oft the Christians 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 divinely true, ass a&.=
And self-illumined greets his view,
Amidst the tempest rage.
Then firmly let him grasp the helm,
Though loud the pillows roar,
And soon his tolls and troubles past,
His anchor he shall safely cast
On Canaan's happy shore. .... e..

pauses he must be safe from pursuit now he
will stretch himself on that bank and sleep till

Christian Reigion.-The following is the
closing paragraph of the will of Patrick Hen
ry. 81 have now disposed of all my property
to my family; there is one thing more wish
l could give them, and that is the Christian
religion. If they had this and had not given
them one shilling, they would be rich; and if
they had not that, and had given them all the
world, they would be poor" This opinion of
that celebrated man, may perhaps be called
his death bed opinion, and is on that account
alone of great value. 1t seems to us that Pa
trick Henry made a successful effort TO para
phrase, perhaps we should say-to answer the
question propounded by the author of our holy
religion, ''What shall it profit man, if he
gain the whole world and lose his own soul ~

imprisonment for Debt in France.-A late
Paris paper, the Presse, gives an account of
singlar case of imprisonment, in France,
which is striking illustration Of the injustice
and cruelty Of laws authorizing Imprisonment
for debt. There is now in prison in Paris a
man who has just entered his 44th year, and
yet is detained for the milk which he drew
from his foster-mother's breast. When he
was weaned, in l795, his father owed the
nurse 300 francs, which sum was never paid
and when the son became Of age, he took the
debt upon himself, giving note Of hand for
the amount, payable in two years, with inte-
rest. At the time the note became due, he
was unable to take it up, and it was renewed,
with the addition stamps, interest and charges.
This process has been continued till the pre-
sent time, when the accumulated debt amounts
to no less than $500 francs, besides 1918
francs for costs.
