mildly suggest to Mr.. Drake that while en-

it would be no more than a just respect for
the feelings of a large respectable portion of
our community if he RETAINED from blow
ing the whistle as much as possible. When
meeting other steamboats, of course it is
necessary to "toot" little, but an un-
necessary parade of noise is uncalled for.

To u family living near Bel Air, who have re-
Gently been bercft OF dutiul wife and Christ
ian mother, these lines are respectfully in
scribGd.
Though sad your lot what is His will endure,
and meier complain;
What is TO you so deep Il loss is her immortal
gain.
Then look to Christ for strength to bear; lie
will your grief allay,
To heal all SORROWS that He sends, He will pro-
vide way
Each cross, each sad affection, when we rightly
understand
May prove to be rich blessings sent, all directed
by Gods hand.
Then help us in submissive faith and Christ
like love to say,
"NOt my will, o Lord, but Thine be done, " then
Lord, show us the way.
When with cares we're heavy laden, or with
deep grief sore oppressed,
Remember Christ said Come to Me and ! will
give you rest"
With hearts full of gratitude and love, may we
His voice obey,
He shed his blood ON Calvary to prepare for us
II way.
We can ask Him in iai! for help, and have all
our sins forgiven,
Then the saintcd friends we lose on earth wen
meet again in heaven.
Weaken our grasp Oh things of time, our
thoughts 10 lasting joys convey,
From Thee we are torcvcrIost. Dear Lord show
us the way.
We know that we are frail and week but Thou,
O Lord, art strong;
Then with the trials of the day help lis all to
bear along.
Aud in love and mercy own us, and hear us when
we pray
For light and guidance what TODD. O, Saviour
show lis the way.
And when our duty is not plain, may wisdom'a
warning voice
Control us in every action, and direct in every
choice.
May righteous truth triumphant over error
have full sway;
When we are weak then give lis strength; when
blind, show us the way.
vain desire,
Sustain us and prepare rs for all Thou wouldst
of us require.
Nearer my God, TO Thcc' in faith draw us from
day to day,
And lead us into the ''narrow path" O Lord
show lis the way.
Guide and control our secret thoughts in our
hearts supremacy reign,
Make us submissive TO Thy will make every
duty plain.
Those CLEANS above dark sorrows cloud that
now shed so dim ray,
viii wider spread and brighter shine, a Light to
show the way.
And the race that is before Us set, may we with
patience run,
TIN we have triumphcd over death and crown
of life have won.
The dark clouds will then all vanish, at the dawn
Of heavenly day,
And wei! see the light of glory when the Sa-
yiour leads ttrG way.
Then numbered with the ransomcd tlrong, may
we in Heaven all meet,
And cast our crowns Of glory at the dear Re
dccmcr's feet,
And realize the perfect peace ola never ending
day;
We will give all praise 10 thee, O Cod for Jesus
