Doubtless the little readers Of the "Press"
are familiar with The story Of the prophet Jo-
nah as told us ia the Bible, But il any of
them DO not remember it all distinctly let them
refet TO their Bibles. before reading the fol-
lowing account Of the way in which his life
was preserved
There are two verses which we will copy,
as hey are fAe ones 10 elicit your attention.
Nov the Lord had prepared a great fish to-
swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the
belly Of the FISH three days and three nights.
And The Lord spake unto the fish and it vom.
tied out Jonah upon the dry land" This
part OF the story is very wonderful, and were
II not the word Of God we should be inclined
to doubt It's truth The whole transaction is
miracle wrought directly by Almighty agen
cy, butit would be wrong for US to enquire II
there we're any natural causes operating, by
which Il may be more easily understood, and
made more probable.
The Bible does not say anything about the
kind Of fish employed. II, then, no whale
ever visited the Mediterranean, or if the lar
gest whale has not a throat large enough to
swallow The smallest man, this would not
prove the Bible narrative untrue.
The Mediterranean formerly abounded in a
species OF carcharis or dog fish, and specimens
are found at tie present day. 1t is an AMI
NAL of the shark kind, and though smaller
than wbalo, its throat and nav will contain,
without crowding, man of the largest size
A fish of this Kind has been taken in the
Mediterranean in whose stomach was found
the body Of a man dressed in complete armor
Some have been caught which were from
twenty-five 70 thirty feet long, nine feet arount
the body, and weighing two tons, or four thou
sand pounds. The following story is told b!
the philosopher Muller, of frigac which wa
cruising in the Mediterranean, in the yea
1853: "In heavy storm seaman fell over
board, and was Immediately received into th
jaws and throat Of carcharis, which was fol
lowing the ship. Before the animal sank a
officer on deck discharged gun at its heac
which taking effect caused the animal to dis
gorge its prey. The sailor was rescued allv
and uninjured, and lived for several years
repeat the story of his deverance" Tb
fish was captured and weighed exactly 1872
pounds
Without doubt il was by fish Of this kin
that the prophets life was saved. During th
imprisonment of Jonah, God could easily prt
serve him alive, and any natural cause simpl
could effect his release on the third day. IL
stead, then. of the story of Jonah being absur
and ridiculous as some wicked people hav
seid, we see that it is perfectly rational an
true II should make upon our minds yer
deep impression Of the awful power of Co
of the energy of his justice, and Of the secur
ty Of bis favor.

Most men in spite Of Christ presume 10 say
AN sinful men hath Immortality.
Forgetting what lie said who cannot lie
The soul that sinneth 1T shall surely die.
No need 10 tell us, that The boly's ment,
Inert mstter, DECAYS when life is spent.
Nor can il suier-being devoid Of pain.
Til God once more s.or Ianizes the brain.
They first propose, that souls immortal be,
The inference Grawn. eternal misery.
Again propose-the sinners endless pain
Inference drawn-mortality again.
Thus their logic round a circle run.
TO prove their purpose nothing yet is done,
They reason right could I with truth cpmp,ir,
Bat whence the proof, again sk them where7

With all Of those who had no law to break,
And all who break tha law too-to suffer long,
According with their vicious d eeds Of wrong,

And fix HIM 10 an endless, suffering home.

Prgaee to Fifth Part.
THE TRUE SARRATH.

That man who looks on fading things below,
Might not his all of love lhereon b,soy,
Nor bury beneath this rubbish all his care,
Thereby forget who made this world SO fair,
To calm his soul with holy thoughts of heaven,
The ReSt-dny of the lord was kindly given,
That blessed memorial still TO man should bring,
Creations birth day, aud Creations king.
But busy Satan with seductive arts,
a web still weaves 10 poison human hearts;
Ever tempting with his Sorcers rod,
To mulilste the plainest truths Of God.
Zealously striving with energy no lack,
To switch mankind from off the righteou track.
'Fis thus he pleads, (the false and most absurd)
Yet still entitled TO passying word.
Wi b most contend-since Monday was tn day,
That Christ arose and tore Deaths chains away;
Since un that day he roke the death like sleep,
ii ncelorth that day, should all his subject ksep.
II candor now we would most mildly say,
Where has ID authorized this change of day.
If God hath willed His Sibbith day to change,
II appears to ma, something truly strange,
He'd leave his childten thus osset with doubt,
Which was the day, 10 let them guess il out.
THIS know vain man-Almighty power alone
Can change the day, He first proclaimed his own ,
lie changeh not, nor will one precept fail,
HIS law shall stand though heaven and earth
turn pale.
Grant il to stand, as first il was designed,
Than il hath lessons to teach all mankind.
When stretched and tortured in thousand way
llswrong observance nonght Of good conveys,
What's then remember in his righteous law,
Or what ref or creation draw;
He plainly tells us when the day shall be,
He rested on the seventh so nllst We.
This law he had deeply engraved in stone,
To be observed by ages yet unknown;
10 brake the law Of tieift would make you start
Yet you break his law without a sting Of heart
Aud yet because | dare not breuke this law,
Long Cherished Friends would fain from me with
draw.

Tremendous Snow Storm.

II will be recolected that on Monday OF

Though it was comparatively light here, in
