LoNELixEss or ihE OoEAN --Ohe who has
never Travelled upon the ocean expects to find
It somewhat thickly populated. He thinks Of
the vast travel and traffic that goes over the
waters, and he is ready To imagine that the
great deep is alive with this hurrying to and
fro Of natioiis. He reads of lands whose COM
mefee whitens every sea, and he is ready to
think that the ocean itself is as full of sails as
the harbor Of some mighty metropolis But
he finds his mistake. AS he leaves the land,
the ships begin to disappear as he goes on
his way they soop all vanish, and there is
nothing about him but the blue sea and the
Bonded sky Sometimes he may meet or over
take Il solitary ship through the day but
then, again, there will be many days when
not d single sail viii cross the ocean. There
are spaces measul ed by thousands Of miles,
over which nd ship has ever passed. The idea
Of nations commerce whitening every sea
is the widest fancy. II AL tho -ships that
ever have been built were brought togethcria
single feet, they would fill but hands
breadth Of the ocean. The space, therefore,
the man and his works occupy on the sea is SO
small in its extent, that the hold on II by Lis
power is Slight and superficial. Both to-
gether are as nothing. The oc5ah covers
three fourths Of the surface Of the slo : and
by ia The greater portion Of this vast ex-
panse is, and ever has been, entirely free from
his presence and visitation.

Ever Knocking,
At the hearts thrice bottled door,

Ever locking,

And we hear, yet hearing, heed not,
While we faster bolt the door.
He is calling,
Ever calling.
In a swecter, softer tonc,
To the fallen
And the falling,
g To the weary and the lone,
Still they answer not the summons
1ill the spirit voice has flown.
Hes entreating,

BY His mercy, by His care,
Knocking, knocking,
And repeating.
Calling. calling, this His prayer:
" Let me enter Y Hear it, mortal,
Open wide the sin-locked portal
Hear II, mortal; open quickly,
God is waiting at the door.
