of which fact she was duly apprised, Our
suffering friend expected to see bis beloved

GOD AND MN RIGHT.

So said the old battle cry of good old
days. One cannot closely, and at the
same time calmly, examine the political
positions to two modern heroes who make
profane appeal to God to sustain a
fearful lie in the case of either Napoleon
and Francis Joseph cannot both be right,
and we arc not theologian enough to
know low far the intention or SUPPOSE
t,on of right in the case of either relieves
him f ON the moral responsibility Of the
wrong which he calls to God consecrote
Let the reader, re!ig Gus OF not, ponder
over the concluding sentences OF these
two men:

our Efforts, for that have ben forced to

"Then may God have mercy on your
souls! !" cried our captain. ''W hat ship 2"
"Belcard, Of Boston.
"My God, it is my fathers own yes
sell" A cold shud1er ran through my
veins, as heard that mournfu excarua-
ton of our Cal tan. Father or son, per-
haps both, meeting for the first time af-
ter years Of absence, would soon meet
the cold embrace of death.
"Lay US aboard, will you?" was the
next cry from the stranger.
81 dare not, even for your saheo
The next moment the stranger swung
around to the wind, and we struck her
on the bow. A loud crash told the re-
suit. We had split her! AS both the
ships recoiled from the shock, the strang-
ers bow fast settled in the sea Again
on the top of mountain wave we came
together, and in an install the Belvard's
bow was below the waves. She raised her.
SELF with mighty effort, and as she
struck the third time, with the mingled
shrieks and groans of over twenty souls,
she plunged into the sea, and was seen
no more. Not person on board of her
lived to tell tue tale of horror that then
ensued.
1--WE had cleared away portion Of the
wreck and were looking over the side,
vainly hoping that some of the crew of
the Belvard might be above the waves,
when s'three feet ofw water in our hold !"
screamed the carpenter, almost dead
with fright.
"Man the pumps"
Cheerfully the men set at their work.
and soon the hard "click, clack," of the
pumps was heard above the bowling
storm. 1t was evident that the water
gained on us fast.
''Sound the pumps" cried the captain,
anxiously pacing the quarter deck and
lookiIg up alott in hopes the storm might
abate. Isl
'Thrce feet ski"
The captain went to the bow. After
gazing a moment over it, he exclaim-
ed -

The canvass was soon rugged, and one
of the sailors swung himself over the side.
In a few moments he re-appeared. near
ly dead, with the intelligence that all was
light.
The water in the hold decreased sensi~
bly,, and IN few hours the ship was
nearly dry. The storm abatlng, we
were soon enabled to set sail on the fore

new main topmast, the next day we were
standing TO the northward under full press

ILLIN OBS.

Illinois is just beginning to be cultiva
ted. | presume she has no railroad along
which half the land within mile has ev-
er been touched by pillow. Back from
the roads, eieaiaaef cearse. stu less cul-.
tivation; probably less shan tenth Of her
soil has ever yet been broken. Probably
one-tourth Of her spontaneous product Of
Grass may now be eaten by animals that
contribute to the susteuance or comfort Of
man, though | think one-sixth would be
nearer the mark. She has far more Coal
than Great BrItian-sar more than any
other State-but has hardly yet begun TO
mine it. Her Timber is not SO excellent;
she lacks Pine and all the evergreens, but
she is bountfuy and cheaply supplied
with these from Wisconsin and Michigan.
Boards are sent through her canal from
Chicago to the Illinois river, and thence
around by st. Louis aud up the Missouri,
to build houses in hallsas and Nebraska.
Her Timber,such as it Is, palpabIy ucreas-
IS from year to year, AMI will increase
still more rapidly as roads and plowings
check the sway OF praTTie fires. II her
prairies were more rolling, they would be
dryer and could be worked earlier; but
then they would wash more, and proba-
bly, have less depth and richness Of soil.

| does not sweep the whole race out of ex-
istence, and start again. AS if the Be-
ing who had patiently wrought and wait
ed for myriads of ages to prepare for man
had not patience to allow him to work
out his destiny! Alb, short sighted NOR
tails Has not God an eternity to accom-
pish His ends in! Is He, before the eye
of a universe, to relnquish an experiment,
and pronounce that to be failure on
which He has expended such infinite pains
and patience? Not He; and the man
must be idiotic who cannot draw from
this patience food for hope, even wben
mercy seems exhausted.
But this divine element enters more or
less into human character, and it is with
this, that we have specially to do. There
is no well-doing-no god-like doing
that is not patient doing. There is no
great achievement that is not the result of
patient working and waiting. There is
no royal road to anything. One thing
at time-all things in succession. That
which grows fast, withers as rapidly; that
which grows slowly, endures. The silver
leafed poplar grows in one decade, and
dies in the next; the oak takes a century
to grow in, and lives and dies at leisure.
This law runs through all vegetation,
through all creation, and through all hu-
man Achievement A fortune won in a
day is lost in a day; fortune won slow
ly, and slowly compacted, seems to acquire
from the hand that won it the property
of endurance. We all see this, we nc
knowledge it, yet we are all in hurry.
We are in haste for position; we are all
in haste for wealth; we are in haste for
fame: we are in haste for everything that
is desirable, and shapes itself into an OBJ
iect of life. In that worthiest of all strug-
gles-the struggle for self mastery and
goodness-we are fan less patient with
ourselves than God is with us. We for.
get, too, in our impotence with others
with their weakness and wrong doing
that there is one who sees this weakness
aud wickedness as we never can see it
yet is unruf1ed by it. "Work and wait"
-"Work and waits what God says
to us in Creation and Providence. We
work, and that is god-like; we get impa-
tent, and there crops out our human
weakness Timothy Tstcon6 an Spring

than they were obeyed.
Sail after sail were rapidly cleared up
and furIed, until we were soon standing
to the southwark under bare poles. The
weather was extremely cold, and Ice in
large quantities had collected on the deck.
The rigging was ono mass of ice; indeed,
so completely frozen were the braces, that
the cook was compelled to keep cauld-
ron of water continually boiling, to nsn in
thawing the ice that collected on them
and in the brace blocks. The gale con-
tinued in all its fury and waves, mountain
high, following fast after us broke over
the deck. The ship woald start, tremb-
ling in every joint than rallying from the
shock again bound on in her course.
The men almost frozen collected in
groups around the deck, while the warn
ing cry of the lookout on the topgallant
forecastIe, often started them from tho
stupor into which they had fallen. Were
it not for the frequent calls upon them to
perform some work about the ship many
of them would no doubt have fallen into
that deep sleep from which one seldom if
ever wakens.
"Icebergs aheadr' yelled the look
