travelled in for 30 many days certainly had time Of
it, but small trading schooner belonging to friend
of ours. and which has been knocking about among
the small bays and inlets on the coast of Texas can
carry of the palm for more adventures compressed
into q short period than many vessels boast OF.
Having her cargo on board she started for this or
some other Gulf port but she did not by any means
reach the end OF her journey. The best reason for
this was that a small gale came up and she was
blown ashore on shoal. The wind changed the
next day and she was blown OF it again changed
the next and she was blown This entertainment
continued for several days. and ended in the schooner
being blown by norther high and dry on an island
beach. whence il seemed impossible to move her.
She had lost both her anchors, but her owner

The first cargo was taken out and a second, Of
lighter material put in. The captain went to the
nearest vessel to obtain provisions gathered what
he needed returned to his vessel great tornado

BEAUTIFUL LETTER FROM A MOTHER
TO HER son.

On the person of Charles G. Wellington,
formerly of Hamilton, Madison county, New
York, the young man who committed suicide
at Chatham -Four Corners, near Hudson, in
New York State, tue following affcctionatc
and maternal letter was found
My DEAR Boy Feeling sensible that l
must soon leave you, | wish to say a few
words, to which / entreat your attention as
the last words, the last wishes of your dying
mother--a mother who would be glad to live
and suffer for your sake, if it was the will OF
God that she should. In the first place, my
dear Charles, love and serve God; make a
friend of Him, and lie will be better to YOU
flan all earthly friends. Never forget to
pray 20 Him. remember that from the time
You werea little one, and could scarcely speak
you have knelt beside Your mother, and Of
fered up your prayers to Him. You have also
read His holy word with her; do not forsake
this practice when she is gone ; mover omit it
/ for single night or morning think that
your poor dead mother is looking pleased at
You if YOU do this, and looking grievcd if you
neglect it F; above all, think how displeasng
it is TO your Heavenly Father to be neglected
| by us, His creatures. He has made and pro-
tects us every hour and moment of our lives
But remember. my dear child, that just to
kncel before God and say your prayers is not
praying. You must feel waat you say; yon
must remember that God is looking into your
| heart--remember that he loves children that
try to do good, and tina. He will help them
to do so if they ask Him. Therefore, every
night cndeayor to think what you have done,
or said, or tlorelt wrong, and beg Hin for
the sake of your dear Saviour, to forgive you
and help yoa to do better for the fetere.--
Every morning thank Him for all your bless
ings beg Him to keep You from SHINING
against Him through the day, and then all
day long endeayor to remember that His eve
is upon you, and that He will be grievcd if
you do wrong--that He wants to save you
and make you happy. II bad boys tempt
you to do wrong, remember His holy word
has said, AMY son, if sinners entice thee, con-
sent thou not" Next to God, love and obey
your father, my dear boy he has been good
father to you, and he has always been good
to your mother, Strive 10 be comfort &c
him, do everything to oblge him that you
can, and if you live till he needs your help
do all for him that you can. Remember that
it is well ple easing to your Father in Heaven
for you to love and honor your earthly pa
rents. BE oblging and kind to oil, endea-
vor to make every one love you, obey your
teachers, try 10 improve in your studies that
you may grow up an intelligent, useful man;
be good to dumb animals; do not tyrannizt
over any living thing; try to deny yourself
that is, my dear Charles, try to oblige Others
even if it puts you to Inconvenience on your
own account. When you think of the poor
heather children that know not God, ant
think how much better you are off, strive to
save something for them. When you are
tempted to spend money for what you do not
