locs not content himself with following his

Them for sale 20 one of his customers The
latter selected such rs he wanted. and re-
ques;ed 'cIiange' for the coin which he pre-
scented. The ltile fellow fumbled for n while
in his pocket, and then drew out a handful Of
various arIicIes-such rs pieces of fwine-
rusty fish hooks marbles, &c. among which
appeared few dimes, and something that
nj once attracted the attention Of the buyer.

ed that il was n large valuable pearl. He
asked the hoy how he came by il. The lat

had picked up, while fishing, on the bank Of

GOD BLESS THE MARINER.

By MRS. MARY E. HEWITT
Coils blessing on the Mariner
A venterous life leads he
What reck the landsmen of their toll,
Who dwelt upon the seal
The landsman sits within his homei
His freside bright and warm;
Nor asks how fares the Mariner
All night amid the storm.
God bless the haldy Mariner!
A homely carb wears he
And he goelh with rolling gait
Like a ship upon the sea-
He hath piped the loud cay ay' SIR!
Der the voices. of the main,
Till his deep tones have the hoarscneSs
OF the rising hurricane.
His seemed an honest viSage
The sun and wind have tanned,
And ha-d as iron gauntlet
Is his broad and sinewy hand.
But OH spirit luoketh
From7out his clear blue eye,
With truthful, childlike camcstness,
Like an ANGEL from thc,,sky.
A vcniurouS life the sailor leads
Between the sky and sea-
But when the hour of dread is passed,
Amerrie- who, than he
He knows that by the rudder bands
Stands one well skilled 10 save
For strong hand.is the STEERsNAN's
That directs him DER the wave.
