Capt. Warren and his seamen hurried from

the principal cabin, the first object that attracted
their attention was the dead body of female
reclining on bed in an altitude Of deep interest
and attention. Her coDtenance retained The
freshness of life, but contraction o! her limbs
showed that her form was intimate. Seated on
the floor was the corpse of an apparently young

part CT the vessel several sailors were found
lying dead in their berbs, and the body of boy
was crouched at the bottom of the gangway

covered anywhere, but Capt. Warren was pre-
vented by the superstinous prejudlces oil his sea-

he wished 10 have done. He therefore carried

Sabbath Evening.
BY GEO. D. PRENTICE.

BY GEO. D. PRENTICE.
IT'S holy time. The evening shade
Steals with soft control
Der nature, as thought of heaven
Steals DER the human soul;
And every ray from yonder blue,
And every drop of falling dew,
Seems to bring down to human woes
From heaven message of repose.
Ger yon.tall rock the solemn trees,
A shadowy group incline,
Like gentle nuns in sorrow bowed
Around their holy shrine;
And DER them now the night winds blow,
So calm and still, the music low
Seems the mysterious voice of prayer
Soft-echoed on the evening air.
The mists, like incense from the earth,
Rise to a God beloved,
And DER the waters move as erst
The Holy Spirit moved;
The torrents voice, the waves low hymn,
Seem the far notes Of seraphim,
And all earth's thousand voices raise
Their song of worship, love, and praise.
The gentle sisterhood of flowers
Bend low their lovely eyes,
Or gaze through trembling tears of dew
Up to the holy skies;
And the pure stars come out above
Like sweet and blessed things of love.
Bright signals in the ethereal dome
To guide the parted spirit home.
There is spirit of blessedness
In air and earth and heaven,
And nature wears the blessed look
Of young saint forgiven;
Oh, who, at such an hour of love,
Can gaze on all around, above,
And not kneel down upon the sod
With Natures self o,worship God!

Loves Endeavor.

BY C. d. STUART.
Love is like the summer sunlight,
Over field, and over flower,
Nursing out of hardest bosoms
Gentle tokens of its power;
But it will not live unanswered,
And forsaken as in pain,
And, oh, vain is loves endeavor
That brings love not back again!
And the kingly crown is heavy,
And the gold is. only pelf,
If there is no reed unbroken
Where the heart may lean itself;
Where the heart may lean unwounded,
Like the rose that drinks the rain,
And, oh, vain is loves endeavor
That brings love not back again.
As the sunshine on the river,
As the dew upon the hill,
So the heart by love is strengthened,
And can bear the keenest i'll;
But the shadows chill the river
When the dew fofgets the plain,
And, oh. vain is loves endeavor
That brings love not back againl
