preach in neighboring parish. compiled
While preaching he noticed that one his au-
dience, an interesting looking woman, in
mourning attire, appeared TO be deeply af-
lected. The young man, VIII en- service was
over, spoke much 10 the minister oil the par
ish about the case, with evident qualification
nj the powerful effect OF his discourse, and
proposed visiting the distressed hearer al
once al her own house. This was acceded
10, and having called upon her, the young
nlan opened the conversation. 81 pcrceiv-
od, nv dear friend, said he "that you SEEM
cd 10 feel very much under my discourse
this morning; will you give us some &C
count Of the exercise of your mind ?" "Ah %
said the woman, Il did feel very much, as
YOU gay, You must know, sir, that am a
poor lone widow. had Il good husband
and every week he and would take the old

man died, and then had 10 go alone aud dc

too, Chere she burst into tears) and here

Zetzos, who had lost his all, took service.
His talents as a seaman were at once appreci-

employment. His conduct giving univer-
sal satisfaction, he was at length intrusted
with brig for Leghorn, accompanied by a
snpercargo, who knew the Mediterranean
well. Overtaken by storm, the young cap
tain had run for SHELTER to Scio, trusting 10
his knowledge of the coast to enable him 10
run into his favorite bay. What he could do
with his quick schooner was not so easily done
with the square rugged vessel, and Zetzos
was about to turn her head seaward, when
the Mariners Lamp caught his eye, and
guided by the welcome light he reached The
desired haven.
A happy bride was Clio, and happy
bridegroom was Zetzes. who, having taken
his vessel to Leghorn, resigned his command,
returned 10 Scio, and welded his faithful
mistress, becoming pIougher of the land
instead of a plougher Of the deep. They
prospered, and prosper still; nor did Clio
neglect her vow, as her husband each day
blesses, so do many others, the MARINERS
LAMP.
