MISCELLANY.
The Wreck

"Thcre she is sir; that's she lust off
the pint there. Shes coming stem on;
and in arr an hour, if she amt on Bunk
Sands, Tam a Dutchnan."
My companion was no native of dam
land, for there was Briton written in
every feature of his bronzc-rcd face, as
he stood by me in Baylhro}c Shore in
his canvas trowoer4, heavy fishers boots
blue Jersey shirt, and tarpaulin hat, tied
on with Il bit Of oakum band, while the
flap behind beat about in the tremendous
wind that was raging in our faces.
Dang ~ went the dull smoihcrcl re-
port Of a heavy gun. and in the shade of
the coming night Just caught sight of a
flash OF light. Where he stood, the
spray came rushing IN like heavy storm
OF rain while the whisling of the winl,
and the laundering in Of the huge rollers
as they cured over and over upon the
sands, tearing it out from among the cavs.
and scraping it away by tons, made stand
ing in the face Of such a storm extremely
confusing AMI yet hundreds were ont
upon the shore close under the great
sand-bank, tllcnchcl to the skin with the
spray, for the news had spread through
the village that Il three master was going
ashore.
Going ashore ! Simple words to
landsman's cars but what do they
mean! The noble vessel tearing and
plunging through the broken water-now
down in the trough Of waves, now rising
like cork upon the white crests, AMI
then Stock as she strikes upon the sand,
and seems immovable; IL shuddering
quivcr through plank and beam; and
then crash crash, crash--mast after mast
gone by the board-snapped like brittle
twigS on dead stem; while huge ropes
part like burned twne then the rising
of the apparently immovable vessel, rs
she is lifted by the waves TO fall crashing
again upon the sands, parting in the
middle; rushing bil;ow pouring tuns of
water over the deck wild, wild cry
for help and then the shore strowed
with fragments, casks, bodies, as the mcr-
cilcss waves sport with them, tossing
them on to the sands, and then curling
over TO drag them back. Going ashore
not safety from a wild storm, but death.
"Ah,' said the old-salt by my side,
shouting at me with his hands to his
mouth, did yer hear that gun ?"
/ nodded.
"Ihcre goes another" he continued,
stretching out his hand, and pointing TO
where the flash could be seen, willie di-
rectly after mamo another dull heavy re-
port. Cant yer see her now, sir /"
Mine were not sea going eyes; and
1t was no easy task to make out a distant
object through the binding storm of
spray which beat dead in my face but
| just managed to make out dark mass
right out amongst the boiling waves, and
shuddered ms thought Of the fate of
those ON board.
"She must come to it, said the man
"She'll come in just there !" and he poin-
ted TO spot amongst the waves where
they seemed toughest ''she'll be there
in less time than | said and then, Lord
have mercy upon'em. Amen !"
As he said this the old man reverently
took of his tarpaulin 0u'-Westcr, and

FREE AND Easy Old Parson NJ,
of Torrinsford, was queer sort Of
man. One time, when his congregation
had, most OF them disposed themselve
for their afternoon nap, lie startled
them, as well as their ideas of propriety,
10y asking, in his loudest tone, -
whats the price Of butter =
At another time, some strangers com-
ing TO church with him, the congrega-
tion paid more attention TO them than
they did to him. Losing all patience, he
stopped in his sermon and said:
"Ihose folks in my pew are cousins
from IL, so you needn't stare at
them any more. :"

'EIn Heaven their Angels do always be-

MATTHEW XVIII. 10.

MATTHEW ANlll. ~.
Silence filed the courts of heaven,
flushed were angels harp and tone,
As a lonely newborn spirit,
knelt before the tn Eternal throne.
While her snow white hands were lifted
Clasp'd as if in ieryent prayer;
And her voice in low sweet murmurs,
Fell like music on the air.
Light from the full f0unt Of glory
On her robes of whteness glstened;
And the bright-wi gcd seraphs round her,
Bowed their radiant heads and listened
"Lord from thy world Of glory here,
My heart turns fondly to another;
Oh Lord, our God! the Comforter,
Comfort comfort my sweet mother
Many sorrows hast thou sent her,
Mcckly hath she drained the cup;
And the Jewels thou hast lent her,
Cnripcning, icllcd up;
Comfort com ort my sweet mother
Earth is growing lonely round her,
Friend and lover hast thou taken;
Let not her. tho clouds surround her,
Feel hcrsclfby hcc forsaken
Let her think when faint and weary,
Let each loss which makes earth drcary,
Make the the thought Of heaven nor
dear;
COmtJrt-cOmfort my sweet mother.
"Sayiour! Thou in nature human,
Dwclt on earth a little child
Pillowed on the heart of woman,
Blessed Mary, undcflcl;
Thou who from the cross Of suGcriag
Marked thy mother tclrlul ia c,
And bcqucathcd her to thy loved one
Bidding him to fill thy place;

The dovc-likc nurnurs died away
Upon the radiant air,
But yet the Ii tie supp liant knet,
With hands still clsped in prayer.
Still were his softly pleading eyes
Turned to the sapphire Throne;
Till golden harps and angel voice
Rang out in mingled tone.

shown their capacity for usiug gigantic efforts
and making gigantic sacrifices 10 preserve, as
thes had preserved the integrity ofa reunited
