NorHlSe Losr.-Philosophers Tell
us that since the creation of the world
not one single particle Of matter has
been lost. 1t may have passed into
new shapes, it may have been COM
bined with other elements, it may have
floased away in smoke and vapor, but
it is not lost. 1t will come back again
in the dew drop or the rain, will spring
up in the fiber Of the plant or paint
itself on the rose leaf. Through all
its transformations providence watches
over and directs it still. Even SO it is
with every thought, or heavenly desire,
or humble aspiration, or generous and
self-denying effort. II may escape
our observation, we may be unable to
follow it, but it is an element of the
moral world, and it is not lost.

emigrant ships do not come to Liverpool" n pause
ensued, during which one with quick eye was g.

Bass was among the passengers Nonsense :! was
the ncrelAous cry '' Captain Bass and the Lirer-

Not dauntsd by their lncred lty, he said, ." Give

that?''' The response was given. Sc Are you Cap
tain Blss?" YES was the reply A few words
iced to reveal that the vessel had been blown Off,
ana for many days went before the wind with great
rapdity. As the gale abated, CAPTAIN Bass found
he could better reach the West Indies than he could
get back with small and 50 crowded vessel. Us
ing their provisions economically. and Sllkng their
thirst with cider and the barrels Of apples that were
on board, they reached BarbldOes. There the Cap

friends and relatives eaped shore, fathers, moth
ers, and brothers were locked in each others arms,
and then the smiles became tears of joy.
But how was such scene to end--tiUw could 1t,
or how ought it 20 end with a moral and Christian
people? There IS IN the depths Of the fountains of
the human heart everlasting spring, from which
flows its purest and most sacred emotions There

This extraordinary circumstance is not within tie
recollection of many persons, but few still survive
in Nova Scotia, who have a distinct remembrance Of
it. In its relation may have omitted many &C.

The Life CioclEs
FROM The GERMAN.

There is a little mystic clock,
No human eye has seen;
That beateth on-and beateth on,
From morning until cen.
And when the soul is wrapped in sleep,
And heareth not a sound,
1t ticks and ticks the live long night.
And never runneth down.
o wondrous is the work Of art,
Which knells he passing hour;
But art meier formed, nor mini conceived,
The life clocks magic power.
Nor set in gold, nor dacked with gems,
BY pride and wealth possessed,
But rich rpoor, high or low,
Each bears it in his breast
When life's deep stream mid beds of flowers
All still ana softly glides.
Like the waveIet's step, with gentle beat,
1t warns of passing tides.
When passion nerves the warriors arm,
For deeds Of hate and wrong,
Though needed not, the fearful sound,
The knell is deep and strong.
When eyes to eyes are gazing soft,
And tender words are spoken,
That fast and wild it rattles on,
As with love 'twere broken.
Such is the clock that mea~Ires life,
OF flesh and spirit blende4,
And thus 'twill run within the breast,
Till that strange life is ended.
