The feeling heart NAV beaye a sigh

The feeling heart may heave sigh
Dor tombs where youth and beauty sleel
Such scenes are dear to Sympathy,
And Pity weeps with those that weep;
Yet who would mourn the dead, that die
In Christ, to live with him ON high.
When Heaven resumes the gift it gave,
A parent feels parents grief,
But-Fety surmounts the grave
The hope of his may yield relief;
Ye mourn, not hopeless-think how sweet
Twill be, in bliss, again to meet.
And We, to whom he once was dear
Ye who youths vigor still retain
Let not the whisper, from his bier
Admonitory, sound in vain;
While life, and health, and youth are given,
Prepare to meet your friend in Heaven.
".
Presume not on to-morrow's date
Uncertain is life's fairest hour
Disease and death impending wait
To crush the scarcely-open'd flower!
A title to the promised rest
Can meier too early be possessed.
V.
And trust the wise, that Wisdom's ways
Alone are ways of pleasantness;
Whilst those who run in Folly's maze
No peace attends, no Heaven shall bless.
Renounce the world-that track pursue
Which points fairer world to view. "
vi
Then comforts through this vale shall spring
To cheer the Heaven-bound traveller,
And death shall lose his dreaded sting,
And come friendly messenger;
And light celestial shall lllume
The path to Heaven-the welcome tomb.

The 1OlOWmg Is reHeX OF Similar eV'
for the last 16 years:

1t will thus be seen that the interval be-
tween the breaking up of the ice at st. Paul
and the arrival of the first boat, is the longest
on record. The date Of this years arrival is
but little behind the acreage date of the arri-
walls for the past nine years,-being sixteen
days later than 1851; four days later than
'52; nine days later than '53; twelve days
later than "a three days later than '55 !;
two days later than Sc; ten days earlier than
'57; and twenty-five days later than the un.
precedentedly early arrival of last year. But
this spring has been unprecedentedly back
ward after having once fairly begun, or else
we would have been but little behind it this
year. Let no one complain, however, but pay
their lost bets with magnanimity usual on
such occasions.

Louisiade Archipelago that the vessel was lost
on. ..,
The wreck took place on the 18th of Sept,

and an English vessel was hailed. 1t was too
small to carry away all the unfortunates, and
$50 were left till word was taken to Sidney,
and another vessel was sent to their relief
This relief expedition arrived at the place in

$50 individuals but Chinaman had been
saved, all the others having been massacred
