The next morning the brig with some

steam ship Sea-Gull, which vessel KEEP,
company with the merchantmen, until
they passed the Double Headed Shot

safely among his friends once more; and
his home, although ever the abode oil
peace and happiness, never seemed as
attractive and pleasant as il did on this
occasion. after his provideniial escape
from the BLOOD thirsty pirates. Yet when
he thought Of the abuse and insults which
he had received in addition to the loss oil

A SOUND DECISION.

In some remarks made by the Rev.
Mr.. Grimshawe, before religious socie-
ty in London, we find the following an
ecdote:
alt has been very much the fashion to
abuse Mehemet Ali, hut after all, to do
him justice he is man of superior talents
and energy, and fifty or one hundred
years in advonce Of his own nation.
remember an anecdo,e which shows his
liberality in a very striking light. Some
little time before, there was a man who
had been sent over to learn the engineer
ing trade at Glasgow. He wasa Mahom-
edan, and during his residence in Scot
land, had been induced to embrace Chris
tianity. By the Mahomedan law apos.
tacy from their religion is visited with
the penalty Of death. His enemies con-
spired his destruction, and accused him
before Mehemet Ali. A day was ap.
pointed for hearing the case, and the facts
were gone into. At length Mehemet Ali
rose in order to deliver judgment, and
said, The facts as it appears 10 me have
all of them been established. II is very
clear this young man has abandoned the
faith of the prophet, and embraced that
Of Christ. Blu, before | proceed farther,
young man, will you allow me to ask you
why you have forsaken your own and
embraced the Christian religion?' The
young man made an answer which did
honor to his integrity and moral courage;
and showed that the righteous is bold as q
lion; and that he who feels the value ofthe
principles he has embraced will never be
ashamed to avow them, but will make
confession OF them before kings and prIn.
ces, and not be afiaiG. Il embraced
Christianity he replied, because be.
lieved i, 10 be true May ask said
Mehemet Ali, whether you have been
influenced in your decision by any selfish
motive or consideration whateverr The
young man replied he had not--Mehemet
Ali then addressing himself to his accu-
sers, said, You have heard the facts. |
sent this young man TO Glasgow myself
He is one of the most useful men in my
dock yard, and faithful servant TO me.
He has turned away from the faith OF
bis forefathers, and has embraced Chris.
,ianity, not from selfish motives, but be.
cause he believes it TO be true. believe
that part of the subject. II does not fall
under my province to inquire whether it
is true or not. The matter lies between
God and the young mans own soul. |
have no control over it.--Young man,
you are acquitted you may depart in
peace"

THE SEASON OF LOVE.
The spring-time OF love
Is both happy and gay,
For joy sprinkies blossoms
And balm in our way:
The sky, earth, and ocean,
In beauty repose,
And all the bright future
Is couieur de rose.
The summer Of love a
Is the bloom Of The heart, *
When hill, grove and valley
Their music impart.
And the pure glow of heaven
Is seen in fond eyes
As lakes show the rainbow
That's hung in the skies.
The autumn of love
Ia tho season Of cheer,
Lies mild Indian summer,
The smile Of the yesr;
Which comes whes the golden
Ripe harvest is stored,
And yields its own blessings,
Repose and reward.
The winter Of love
Is the beam that we win,
While the storm bowls without,
From the sunshine within.
Loves reign is eternal,
The heart is his throne,
And he has all seasons
OF life for his own.
