The PgRILs or THE SEA.-Tbe last
two months have besn~ very trying to
ocean steamships, both on the AtIanti c
and the Pacific. A number of Pacific
Mail steamers have been destroyed or
crippled, and although no passengers
have been lost in recent disasters, yet
their lives have been greatly impcrasd.
Upon the Atlantic an unparalleled sue
cession Of gales HIS rendered steam
navigation extremely difficult and daa-
gerous. The vessels Of all the lines
which ply between this country aud
Europe, have come into port bearing
the marks Of severe encounters with
tho winds and waves, in the shape Of
bulwarks stove, boats missing, and
machinery in need Of repairs.
Several boats Of the Cunard line have
been obliged to put into port, disabled !;
the Inman and the Guiou steamers
have suffered in the same way ono Of
the White Star steamers made almost
the entire passage with only one engine,
and similar experiences could doubtless
b" reported by the agents Of all the
lines. Yet, in spite of these severe
storms, the steamers sail regularly, and
carry thousands Of passensers to and fro,
shere century ago there were not as
many hundreds.-New York Observer

-" Its Very Hard"

"It's very hard to have nothing to
eat but porridge, when Others have every
sort Of dainty" muttered Charlie, as he
sat with his wooden bowl before him.
It's very hard to have to get up 80
early on these bitter cold mornings, and
work hard all doy, when others can en-
Joy themselves without an hour of Ia.
Dor! It's very hard to have to trudge
along through the snow, while others
roll about in their coaches ~
Its great blessing" said his grand
mother as she sat at her knitting, "to
have food when so many are hungry ;
it's great blessing to have root over
ones head when 50 many are homeless;
it's great blessing to have sight, and
hearing, and strength for daily labor,
when so many are blind, deaf, or suffer-
ing"
Why, grandmother, you seem to
think that nothing is hard" said tho
boy, still in grumbling tone.
"No, Charlie there is one thing
that think very hard"
What's that ?" cried Charlie, who
thought thut at last his grandmother
had found some cause for complaint.
Why, boy, I think that heart is
gerry lard that is not thankful for 30
many blessings !"
