While death creeps on with noIseless tread
Faint and disress ed she sits and weeps
With beating heart. Love never sleeps!

Despite the horrors Of The storm,

Is answered and relief is given
In hours Of woe, when sorrow sleeps
The heart in pain.-Love never sleeps!
Oh, God of love our eyes to thee,

The QUEENS MARRIAGE The con-
slant attendance Of Prince George of Cam
bridge on the Queen, when she is engaged
in party OF pleasure, has gwen much un-
easiness to certain clique of confedera'es
at Court. The Queen Is one who, though
young in years, well knows power and
she is one also who will no, allow her feel.
irgs to be controlled by impairment inter-
ference. Lord Melbourne encourages the
intimacy between the Royal cousins. and
there is every prospect of seeing the Prince
the consort of Queen Victoria. Should
this event come off, there Will be weeping
and crashing Il teeth among the German
satellites. Prince George is now in his
twentieth year, and it is stated that he will
remain o, Gibraltar, visit Malta, and others
of our possessions, so as to be absen, two
years, when he will receive her Majes,y's
hand. The marriages of cousins have not
always been telcilous; but we imag CINE
that the Prince, " no is particularly gener.

dla. And latterly the repugnance of the
Chinese government TO foreign intercourse
of all kinds has been strengthened by the
vast quantities of opium, by which Chris
tan merchants have threatened the ruin
OF the empire.
In view of such facts, what is the duty
of missionaries who are sent TO these ma
tons? The Committee can only make
few of the more obvious suggestions.
Convince the people and their ruler. then,
so far as may be possible, that you are
connected with no secular hierarchy, as
were thepapal missionaries; that you are
yourself subject to no powerful domino
ton, and have none to which you can
subject yonr converts. Let them see that
you stand aloof from trafick, and from
the local politics and excitements of .he
trading community around you; and that,
in despite Of every odium which may
come upon you for an alleged want of pa
triotism, you cannot be persuaded to make
common cause with the merchant and ci-
william, in mere questions Of commercial
right and privilege; though you will of
course take no part against them. Nor
be unduly Jealous to introduce among
the nations our arts, our sciences, our Gus
toms and manners, and what TO US NAV
be comforts and even necessaries, but to
them may seem only unpleasant innova-
lions of doubtful utility. Nor will YOU
in your desire to civilize the people, as
well as convert them tn the Christian
faith, attempt too many things, and toe
much; assailing not only their religion
which you must do, but their manners
customs and occupations, and social rela
tons. Let your object, your aim be sin
gle. Attempt but one thing, and let tina
one thing be the spiritual regeneration 0
the people; and to that let all your meas
ures be subordinate. Thus will the PEG
pie at length perceive that you belong t
a kingdom not of this world, and the
will cease to fear your influence, if the,
go no further.
