THE SEA CAPTAIN.

The stage was crowded with passengers as
1t passed from New York to Boston, II was
late IN the evening when one of the passen-
gers sea captain, endeavored 10 excite the
attention OF the drowsy company by giving a
relation Of his situation. He had been TO sea
in fine ship; in dreadful storm his ship had
been wrecked, all bis property DESTROYED, and
every soul on board had been lost except the
captain, who had saved his life by being on a
plank, at the mercy Of the waves for several
days. The company were interested in this
narrative; but they wondred that a man relat-
ing such tale, and telling of an escape al
most miraculous, should confirm almost every
sentence with an oath. Nothing, however,
was said TO him. In the morning, when the
stage stopped, Mr.. b. one Of the passengers,
invited the captain to walk on before with
him, and they would step into the stage when
it should come up. The proposal was agree
ed 10. Says Mr. b. did understand YOU last
night. the stage made such a noise, did you
say that you had lost your ship, "Yes."-
Let me ask you one quesion:-when on that
plank did you not vow TO your God that il he
would spare your life, YOU would devote that
lie TO his service ''None of your business"
said the captain angnly. The stage by this
time came up and they entered ii. Towards
evening the stage was entering Providence,
the captain informed the company that he
should not sup with them, as he was SO un-
fortunate as not 10 have any money Mr.. b.
takes from his pocket and offers him hand
some bill mo-" saws the captain. II am
poor but ] am no beggar." But, replied Mr..
b., do not give it to you to a beggar. but
as an unfortunate brother. You must learn
thai | profess N be a Christian. and | sm
taught by nv religion TO do good TO all men.
The gospel prescribes no limits TO benevolence;
il teaches US TO good 10 all. The company
applaoded, and pressed the captain 10 take
the money He silently put il into his pocket
without even thanking the donor, though his
coanieaanoe betrayed uneasiness. The COM
p.ny -sspped together, and the captain bad
each adie0, after having asked Mr.. b. when
he left town. He was informed, on the NOR
row, al ssaRss. They then parted as it was
supposed. for ever. The captain went home
with heavy heart, while Mr.. b. retired 70

The Cliffs Of Moher, Co. Glare, ireland. y
Nowhere can man feel so little, and recognize
the Almighty in his work SO great as upon the
Cliffs of Moher ! Take your stand any where
between "Hags Head" the barrier behind
which Liscannor Bay reposes, and the last of
the cliffs, ere il sinks into the limestone rocks
of Dooen Qhe seat Of Major Macnamra, MP.)
and you are in presence of the whole Atlantic.
There is not foot of earth upon which bird
might rest his weary wing, between the ground
you occupy and America. And upon what
are you standing On cliff, rising from the
deep some fourteen hundred feet in perpendic-
ular height, and if you chose well las now "a
days you can scarcely fail to do0 if you take
that cliff crowned by O'Brien tower, and look
from the galleries constructed near it, all the
rest of the gigantic brotherhood the guardians
of the land against the Ocean Powers, are in
your field of view each, too, assuming for its
functions some vast and fantastic shape to
mortal vision. One castle, proudly rearing
its form in solitary grandeur from the depth of
ocean, with towers, and battlements, and out
works, all complete another ruined monas-
terry stretching out from beneath the brow of
the supervising cliff far to sea npon tongue Of
land, with its large main tower broken off and
rent with lightning, and its long and lofty point
ed roof yet perfect, save for some few chasms,
and every where clothed with moss and wild
creapers,and the rank waving grass that springs
from weatherbeaten and mouldered masonry
under the eye OF ages. What retreat indeed
were this for world weary man, where nought
was TO be seen except the heaven and the wa
tiers, and God in boih.--IMorgan Latter, in
