The ATLANTIc.--The non-arrval of the Allan.
tic is matter of all absorbing interest at New
York, but many of the papers still express the be-
lief that she is safe. There have been many
instances where steamships, plying between the
United States and England, have been compelled
to put back in consequence of receiving danlage$,
and the hope that such has been the case with ue
Atlantic is all that now remains The New YofE
Herald says:
:" The Acadia put back on one occasion the
Caledonia was forced to put back when she was
one third OF the distance across the Atlantic Ocean
to Cork; the Liverpool was compelled to put
back aid repair her machinery; the United States
put back. This is the first instance, therefore,
OF a steamship being forced TO return the port
whence she sailed, and repair damages. Neither
the Atlantic nor any other steamer is free from
accident, and because she has been disabled, it
does not follow that she is not safe.
Some time since vessel was seen bottom up
in mid ocean, and in the track OF steamships ply
ing between the United States and Great Britain
1t was evident that she had come in collision with
some other vessel but what one 1t is impossible to
say. The general opinion hewever, is that it was
either the Atlantic or the Africa, both of which
were crossing the ocean at the same time. We
have not heard that the Africa ran into any ship.
We know of her arrival at Liverpool, and if she
did not have collision with the reported vessel,
it is very probable he Atlantic did. The English
papers may throw some light on the subject. We
strongly of the opinion that the Atlantic had
that misfortune. If she had, Captain West un-
doubtedly steered for Fayal, in the Western ISL
ands, for the purpose of repairing Our latest dates
would take two three weeks before the Atlantic
could reach that place under sails. We repeat there
is no need OF apprehension yet at all events as to
the safety of the Atlantic"

For my limbs are growing cold,
And thy presence seemeth dearer,
When thy arms around me fold

For my form will soon be lying
Meath the oceans briny surf
Hearken to me, brother, hearken,

Ere the veil my vision darken,
And | go from hence away

But my hope in God is strong,

That he doetb nothing wrong.

That in death | prayed for him,
Prayed that may one day meet him,
In world that's free from sin
Tell my mother, God assist her
Now that she is growing old)
Say her child would glad have kissed her,
When his lips grew pale and cold
Listen, brother, catch each whisper,
'Tis my wife I'd speak OF now
Tell oh tell her. how missed her,
When the fever burned my brow;
Tell her, brother, closely listen,
Don't forget sngle lie word
That in death my eyes did glisten,
With the tears her memory stirred.
Tell her she must kiss my children,
Like the kiss | last impressed;
Hold them when last | held them

Give them early to their Maker,
Putting all her trust in God
And He never will forsake her,
For He's said so in His Word.

They vert all my life to me
Would could once more caress them
Ere sink beneath the sea
Twas for them crossed the ocean,
What my hopes were I'll not tell,
But have gained an orphans portion
Yet He doeth all things well.
Tell my sisters remember
Every kindly parting word,
And my heart has been kept tender,
BY the thoughts their mem'ry stirred
Tell them ne'er reached the haven
Where | sought the "precious DUST
But have gained port called Heaven,
Where the gold will never rust.
Urge them to secure an entrance,
For they'll find their brother there
Faith in Jesus, and repentance
Will secure for each share
Hark | hear my Saviour speaking

When am gone, oh don't be weeping
Brother, here's my last farewell !.
