The Sailors Bible.

After . recent heavy storm on the coast
of Massachusetts, . sailors chest, which
had been swept from wrecked vessel. was
cast on shore, and opened by those Who
found il. A narrator says:
"Buf We found precious. treasure II

ous; yea. the prioe Of il was above rubiee.
IL was the Word Of God. We we're glad

knew not where the temptest had sent the

Bible had sent the spirit to : heavenly
home. To name yet met our eyes; bnt
these beautiful lines, cut ont Of some book
or periodical, were pasted on the dy-lsaf:
"a parents blessing on her son,

The love that would retain the one, M

A mothers gift! remember boy
s.In company with the Bible We found
daguerreotype of lady-beyond quss-
ton the mother Of that son, the giver Of
that book. As we gazed on the placid
features, we could not but think these beau
tiful lines were placed there BY her whose
image was now before Us. Her own sound
and pious heart had made. this gift, and
sought an expression Of maternal love In
those lines. A pious mothers blessing
with such gift!
