Of the rigging. The boatswain had been
very active, and apparently unalarmed +,
during the whole of the gale. At this
moment. when heavy sea struck the
ship and seemed as if it would instantly
sink her, looking up with smile, he ex-
claimed, Blessed be God, all is right |"
and began to sing. The storm afterwards
abated, and the vessels was saved. Thus,
amid the storms Of life, on the dark ocean
Of death, and amidst the terrors of the
judgment-'lay, the Christian may still
smile, and exultiugly .exclaim, Blessed
be God all is right"

The Christians Consolation.

The child of God finds consolation in
everything that befaIls him in life, when
he reflects that not only he, but that all
things are in the hands Of Que that is Too
wise to err, and too good to do wrong,
AMI that when he suffers he is in the inn
mediate presence Of God who knows
exactly the depth Of every pang, and who
marks with an eye Of tender pity and
every throb of his careworn bosom. A
voice Of infinite compassion says, come
unto me and l will give you rest cease
thy sighings and repine no more, but let
thy soul delight itself in fatness. What
joy it brings in the heart Of the wayworn
pilgrim, as he reflects that all bis sorrows
are known to his saviour, and that in all
his Affections he was afflicted, being per-
secuted and despised, destitute and forsa-
ken without where to lay his head, and
finally cruci6ed, and that in all these
things be was more than conqueror. And
he speaks this copsoling language to his
persecuted children, "be Of good comfort,
l have overcome the world"
That the christian is so nearly related
to Jesus in al his sufferings, is a thought
that brea,hes lasting consolation, and the
assurance that nothing shall be able to
separate him from his God is a source Of
joy unspeakable.
The powers Of darkness may muster
their mighty hosts, and hell may vent her
fiendish spite, yet the child Of God is un-
daunted. Leaning on the strong arm OF
Omnipotence he stands fearless while the
fiery darts Of the enemy fly thick and
fast For neither death, nor life, nor an
gels, nor principalities, no powers, things
to come, nor height, nor depth. nor any
other creatures shall be able to seperate
Us from the love of God which is in Christ
Jesus our Lord.
Behold Henry Martyr, as he goes
forta bearing the precious gospel to the
heather bands, lonely wanderer, with
out brother or sister to speak to, or one
earthly friend to whom he can tell all bis
trials. lie lived to endure rebuke and
scorn, to toll and suffer in fervid cline,
to drag his weary steps over burning sands
with the daily, dying hopes that he might
be laid to rest among his kindred on his
native shore, he died alone 4 stranger in
a strange land, with no friendly form, to
sympa,hise and soothe him, yet this was
the last record Of his dying hand: ~ sa,
in the orchard and thought with sweet
comfort and peace Of my God, in solitude
my company, my friend, my comforter"
Such is indeed the condition of the truly
pious child Of God. Though he may be
forsaken by his last earthly comfort and
torn from the bosom Of ease and pleasure
and banished into unknown lands, ,t, breas,
alone the perils Of life, yet he finds tha,
even in this forlorn condition, he has q
friend who has declared hat he will neve,
leave nor forsake those wto put the cir trust
in him.-R. Telescope.

WHAT IS NOBLE.
NY CHARLES SWAIN.

What is noble to inherit!
Wealth. estate, and proud degree,
There must be some other merit
Higher yet than these for me!
Something greater far must enter
Into life's majestic span;
Fit ter to create and centre
True nobility in man!
What is noble! .Tis the fineu
Portion Of our mind and heart;
Than mere language can impart;
Than mere language can ippart;
Ever prompting-ever seeing
Some improvement yet TO plan;
To uplift our fellow being,
And, like man TO feel for man!
What is noble! Is tho sabre
Nobler than the humble spade!
There Is dignity in labor
Truer than e'er pomp arraycd!
He who seeks the minds Improvement
Aids the world in aiding mind;
Every great commanding movement
Serves not one-but all mankind.
Oer the forge's heat and ashes
Ger the engines Iron head
Where the rapid shuttle flashes,
And the spindle whirls the thread;
There 10 labor lowly tending
Each requirement Of tho hour,
There is genius still exten ling
Science and its world Of power!
Mid the dust and speed and c!-mor
or the loom-shed aud the mill;
Midst the clink Of wheel and hammer,
Great results ars growing still!
Though too on by Fssision's creatures
Work and workers may be blamed,
Commerce need not hide its features!
Industry is not ashamed!
Wha Is noble, That which places
Truth In its entranchised will,
Leaving sseps---like angel traces
That mankind may follow still!
Zen though Scorn's malignant giances
Prove him poorest Of his elan,
He's the Noble-who advances
Freedom and the cause Of man!
