e. T-Ihe probable loss OF the American snip
Ocean Queen, Capt. Smith, Of the London and
New York line, with Ito lives, has been re-
ported at Lloyds. This ship left the London
docks, on February 9th, with a full miscelan-
eous cargo, and IS steerage passengers. On
February 18th she was spoken off the Isle Of
Wight, all well, since which nothing has been
heard of her, and there is reason to fear she

THE LOVE THAT LASTS.

'Tis not flower of instant growth;
But from an unsupported germ.
That lay within the hearts of both,
Assumes its everlasting form.
AS duisy buds among the grass,
With the same green do silent grow,
Nor maids nor boys that laughing pass,
Can tell if they be flowers or no
Till OIL some genial morn in May,
Their timid, modest leaflets rise.
Disclosing beauties to the day,
That strike the gazcr with surprise
So soft, so sweet, SO mild, SO holy,
So cheerful in obscured shade;
So unpretending, meek and lowly,
And yet the pride of cach green glade.
So love doth spring, so love doth grow,

ROWLAND HILL AND THE RoBDER,

An anecdote has been related of the re-
markable conduct Of Rowland Hill to a
highway robber, whom lie reclaimed Ly
great kindness, and took into his employ.
In funeral sermon preached at his de-
cease, he gives the following remarkable ac-
| count:
Many persons present were acquainted
with the deceased, and have had it in their
power to observe his character and conduct.
Ihey can bear witness that 1 speak the
truth when assert that, for considerable
number of years past, lie has proved him
self a perfectly sober, honest, industrious,
and religious man faithfully performing,
as far as lay in his power, the duties Of his
station in life, and serving God with con-
stancy and zeal. And yet this very man
this virtuous and pious man-was once Il
robbcr on the highway. More than thirty
years ago, ho stopped me OH the public
road, and demanded my money. Not at
all intimidated, I argued with him asked
what could induce him to pursue SO iniquit-
Gus and dangerous course of life. Il
have been coaclmar,' said he, bit am
now ont of place; and, not being able to
get a character, obtain no employment,
and therefore am obliged to resort to this
means Of gaining subsistence l desired
him to call upon me; lie promised he
would, and he kept his word. talked fur
tier with him, and offered to talk. him into
my service. lie consented and ever Since
that period he has served Inc faithfully ;
and not me only, but has faithfully served
his God. And instead Of finishing his life
in a public, ignominious manner, with de-
praved and hardened mind, as lie probabl,
would soon have done, he has died in peace,
rejoicing in hope; and prepared, we trust,
for the society of just men made perfect
Till this day, this extraordinary occurrence
has been confined to his breast and mine; I
have never mentioned it even to my dearest
| friend"
