ABDALLAH's MESSAGE.

Faithful friends, It lies, know,
Pale and white and cold as snow,
And ye say, "Abdallah's dead"
Weeping at the foot and head;
can see your falling tears,
| can hear your signs and prayers,
Yet smile and whisper this,
am not the thing you kiss;
Cease your tears and let II lie,
II was mine, 1t is not 1.
Sweet friends what the women lave
For the last sleep Of the grave
Is hut which l am quitting,
Is garment no more fitting,
Is cage from which at last,
Like bird my soul hath passed.
Love the inmate, not the room;
The wearer, not the garb the plume
or the eagle, not the bars
That kept him from those splendid stars.
Loving friends be wise, and dry
Straightway every weeping eye;
What We lift upon the bier
Is not worth a single tear;
II is an empty sea-shell, one,
Out Of which the pearl is gone;
The she'll is broken-it lies there,
The pearl, the all, the soul is here,
IT'S an earthen jar whose lid
Allah sealed the while it hid
That treasure Of his treasury,
A mind that loved him, let 1t be,
Let the sherd be earth once more,
Since the gold is in has store.
Allah, glorious Allah, good
Now thy world is understood,
Now the long, long wonder ends.
Yet ye weep, my foolish friends,
While the man whom ye call dead,
In unspoken bliss instead,
Lives and loves you-lost. tits true,
For any light that shines for you,
But in the light you cannot see,
OF undisturbed felicity,
In a perfect paradise
And life that never dies.
Farewell, friends but NOT farewell,
Where am ye too shall dwell,
am gone before your face
A moments watch, little space;
When ye come where have stepp'd
Ys will wonder why ye wept,
Ye will know, by true love taught,
That here is all and there is naught,
Weep awhile IL ye are fAin,
Sunshine still must follow rain;
Only not at death; for death,
Now we know, is that first breath
kAak Il
Life which is Of all life centre.
Be ye certain all seems love
Viewed from AllAh's throne above;
Be ye stout Of heart and come
Brayely onward TO your home;
La Allah, Allah, Ia!
oh, love divine, oh, love Away
He who died at Agrim gave
This TO those who made his grave.

The amount Of tonnage built the past
year in this country exceeds that Of any
other year for eight years. In 1872 there
were built l,643 vessels with tonnage Of
209 .062 tons; but In 1873 there have been
built 2 .27l vessels with tonnage Of 1853, 248
tons-an increase of nearly S0percent. OF
the tonnage built the past year S04 have
been sailing vessels, and 402 steam, 26 of
which have been iron.
We have now afioat II $40 sailing vessels.
4.0l5 steam vessels and 10, 70S canal boats,
with tonnage Of 4,696,026 tons-an in
crease of 1883 vessels and 25S. $50 tons
from 1872. The tonnage employed In for
eign trade has increased 10, 493 tons. and
that employed In coast-wise trade 233, 66s
tons. The tonnage employed In fisheries
has increased from 1855 vessels of97 $40
tons in 1872 to 2.453 vessels of 100, 51S tons
In 1873. OF these Maine furnished ton
mage of 46. 1876 or AZ per cent; and Massa-
chusetts a tonnage of "a, 1876 or 40 per cent
leaving only tonnage of g. 35 tonsssto the
rest Of the Union. One hundred and
eigh'y-seveu vessels are engaged in the
whale fishery, of which l43 belong at New
Bedford.
Altogether the progress of ship-building
the past year has been cheering, and the
prospects for the future are most satisfac-
tory. The relief afforded by the last Con-
gress, and the advance in prices OF materi-
ais and labor in Europe in consequence of
which ships can now be built in this country
almost as cheap rs abroad. have revived
this important interest, and bid fair to
make it again one of the leading pursuits of
