her forward rigging, ten feet from the deck, are
literally loaded with ice, each brace or bowIine
being as large as mans arm, and the shrouds and
dead eyes as large a. barrel She was once
obliged to run into the Gulf Stream, to melt of
the immense masses of ice that had accumulated
upon her. and which made it impossible to work
the ship. Four of the crew have been badly frost
bitten; one of them, Wash Reeves, of Alexandra.
Va has his fee and toes badly affected that 1t
is feared il may make him cripple for life. We
saw the poor fellow and conversed with him on
board; he has family in Alexandra, and is anx
ious to get to them at once. We were sorry to
notice that he had received no medical advice or
assistance since his arrival The hands of most
of the crew are black and swollen from the effects
of frost. The vessel was taken in tow by q tug
below the Highlands, and brought to the city,
where she WAS fallen in with by the tug. She
was so much incased in ice, not a rope could be
used in working the vessel, and it was with great

Truth is Power.

Some men say that wealth is power" and
some that knowledge is power' Above them
all, would assert that Truth is power."-
Wealth cannot purchase-talent cannot refu,e
knowledge cannot overreacL authority
cannot silence her; they all, like Felix, trem-
bic at her presence. Fling her in the most
tremendous pillows of popular commoti6n;
cashier into the sevenfoId heated furnace OF
the tyranrs wrath; she mounts alof in tho
ark upon the summit of the deInge; she walks
with the son of God untouched through the
c,onhagration. She is the miuistering spirit
that sheds on man the bright and indestructa.
BILE principle of life, light and glory which Is
given by his mighty Author to animate, to il,
lume, and to inspire the immortal soul, and
which, like himself is 'the same yesterday,
to-day, and forever" When wealth, aud tail
ent, and knowledge, and autkority-when
earth and heaven itselfshall have passed away.
Truth shall rise, like the angel Of Mauoai',
sacrifice, upon the flame of natures funeral
pyre, and ascend to her source, her heaven!
and her home-the bosom of the holy and
eternal God. -
