CFon THE EseuInzn.l The Storm.


 The Storm. High rose the swelling pillows crest On Judsh's wild and maddened seq. Az on its gloom -enshrouded breast The whirlwind stamped its fierce decree, The iightuings shot dendish glare. Which lit the battlements of Heaven; The thundsrs trsmping rent the air, A charger on to battle driven. A bark lay tossing on the wave. :. The plaything of the midnight gale. Its sturdy crew, though bold and brave, Were trembling at the storm-king's vail, Yet One lay sleeping mid that storm, The sleep of innocence and peace, Blsst sleep to Him Dy sorrowawern. From earth's stern cares sweet release. Though wilder yet the waves rolled on, And racksd that ship from stem to stern. The slumbsrins God in peace slept on, Nor rocked the pillows rage to learn; While mantled waters round them roared, The palsisd sailors strove in fear. Their faith no longer Hsavenward scared, For they forgot their God was near. o ys of little faith arise!
 Go call your God, who waits you now. To bsnish hence those darkened skies, To smooth those rufied pillows brow; Call back that treacherous faith once more, Believe in m Almighty sway, And safely at yon distant shore, Your bark shall moor ere break of day. Their faith returned, they sought the Lord, He rose, and His Almighty will, Spoke to the warning hosts the word, The migh'y fiat, ''Peace, be still;" Imbosoned in Gennesaret, Fierce nature then its nature saw. Creator and created met,
 Created bowed in silent awe. To day there rides . storm-tosssd bark, Upon wild, tunultusus sea, Mid winds and clouds as fierce and dark, As ever draped fair Galilee; 'Tis rushing on to wrecking shoals, Despite the watchful pilots care, One Hand alone its fate controls, That Hand is ever moved by prayer. o ye of little faith arise Go call your God, who waits you now, To banish hence these darksned skies. n -.l .l ! | Let faith be strong, and soon the storm Shall moor us safe on FREEpoM's strand, Let prayer its mighty work perform, And God will save eur native land.

 The Continental Hotel is among the sxcep- tions; but, of course, no native of the City ever projected it. Is would pass for fne house anywhere and its interior arrangements correspond both to its external promise and to it's reputation as the best hotel in the world. Such, it undoubtedly is. Every convenience, every luxury, every comfort combined with unvarying elegance, abounds in this establish ment. Ana-what is perhaps most striking to stranger--so complete is the training of the colored walters in the main dining-hall, that the miscellaneous collection of boors who form the majority of the Amesican .travelling public, are subdued by the deportcaSnt of the negroes ilsc temporary subordnation to some of the rrSks & aqti breeding. They do, in- leed, eat with their knives, put salt on the ta- ble-cloth by the side of their plates. and slap the bottom of the pepper-castor with their right hands while holding it with their leis perpendicularly over their food. Those things, of course-those things are past praying for 1; but in place of the usual blustering tones with which this class of the community are won't tc order their dishes and d. the walters, they actually and uniformly and invariably restrict their utterances to tones but little removed from whisper and in roem where perhaps hundred men and women are dining at one time. not a loud word can be heard Such is the force of example, even when presented by the servants of hotel. But enough of this. The Continental" needs no panegyric af your hands or mine. ---.
 Two other things in Philadelphia surprise stranger--a New Yorker, particularly. One is, the enormous extent of . city which is quits secondary in population to the metropolis of the Empire State and the other, the intermi- nable continuity of it's horse railroads. Phila- delphia covers nearly twice as much ground as New York, chiefly because that class of build ings known as tenement houses, are not to be found within it's boundaries. Almost every family has a house to itself--small the house may be, hut it has the charm of privacy and individuality. As for the railroads, they cov- CT the town as with a gridiron, or rather as with t,co gridirons, for they cross each other at right angles in almost every one of the princi- pie streets; and the result of this prodigious facility of riding is, that among the residents, nobody ,calks. You can go any distance in any direction, in these city cars. A transfer ticket or two may be needed for those who have occasion to go everywhere but with that fa- cility, you could make your two hundred New Years calls in the Philadelphia cars, as con veniently as you could do the same work with a carriage.

Song of New England Spring Birds When Robin, Swallow, Thrush and Wren, From "way down South" had come again, Iroamsd through field and wood to see.

 The stump bold Bob O Lincoln took; "Wsll. now. guess I'm glad." said he, "For my free speech stump ts see; They couldn't hold me in the mesh Of that strange net they call 'sscssh : To keep me down they needn't think on-- Hurrsh for Bob and.

I know, When Northern hills are white with snow; But oh. 'tis full of grief and pain! Cheer up! chirrup I'm home again." The Wren pipsd fsrth her tiny cry:
 "A little thing. I know. am |;
 But small, weak things. like you and me, My sister Sparrow, love the free !"
 The Sparrow heard the lowly call.
 And said. "Who needs the Sparrow's fall, Aud keeps them always in His sight, shall hear NE sing, "God speed the Right!" The Jay, the blue bird. joined the threng,

 The sky o'erhead was clear and bright,

eminent physicians of his day, and was regarded
by all who knew him as public benetactor.

1t has none of the irritating, heating proper

Every family, and especially those containing
children, should keep a box on hand in case of
accident, for it will save them much trouble
suffering, and money. All it wants is a fan
rial to cure old and inveterate Sores.
