The Wreck of the "Circassian."
BIZ COUSIN LOU.

They were sitting in the cabin,
Having a good time all around,
When they heard an awful cracking.
Oh, what terror in that sound
AS they rushed out of the cabin door
They heard the mighty ocean roar.
They all rushed up on the deck
And to the foremost made their way,
And they thought OF home and friends
As they chung to shroud and stay.
When they beheld the mighty sea.
They thought of God and eternity.
While they chung there wet and cold
The mast began to crack and shake.
Sc down they came wi throbbiHs hearts
For they thc't it was going to break.
They cried for mercy and they screechea
When the mizzen-mast they reached.
But they could not fight the storm,
1t was mightier than they.
The mast il silt and CRACKED
and at last it gave away.
And they. falling into the sea,
In a moment were in eternity.

A LILLY.

On the remembrance of WARREN
F. EVERETT, son of NJ. O. and M. l..
Everett, aged eight weeks:
1t was white az snow and pearly,
With q heart Of golden grace;
And it blessed me late and early,
With its meek and quiet face.
In some peerless fashion moulded,
Without mar or STAN or crease,
Slowly, whitley, it unfolded
Like'a breathing dream Of peace.
From the frost blight and the fever
I shielded it with skill,
And [ PRAYED: "Dear angels, ever
Fold YOUR wings about it %still.'
All the air around was sweeter
For the fragrance that it shed,
And my whole life grew cOmpleter
To such grace and sweetness wed.
1t was the first and fairest
That ever we had known;
Oh, it was the best and rarest
Ever out of Eden blown!
But one morning while it glistened
With the nights departing tear
All my heart grew still and listened
To slow footsteps drawing near.
1t was BELOVED descended
To his garden for awhile;
Purpling shades so closely blended
| could only feel His smile.
Thro' the twilight He drew nearer
When | knelt like II undone:
Whispered, Meier were lilies tairer,
have come to gather oNE!!"
Oh, that voice, SO calm and tender:
Why did | at once divine
That from out the lilied splendor
He would stoop and gather NINE!
Not another word was spoken;
Like a frozen thing of woe,
I knelt, and Jaw it broken
With each petal pure as snow;
Saw, then hushed my bitter signing.
For between His fingers pressed,
Was my gathered blossom, lying
Safely on the Savior's breast.
Now, tho all the world seems shaded
Faith still keep my heart in tune;
Some may call their flowers faded;
NINE was only gathered

It fell upon the merry time
Of strin=encics and panlca, A..
When half the world had pain 10 un'
The batter for its bannocks;
Two dodgers in the same nolei
In widely different wise

Ono would pace up and down his room
Like Carniyorlum bear,
And dine upon his insct- nails
And -nper comb his hair.
And bubble, babhe ~ he went
On his uneasy feet:
$50 fur apart is either end.
How can make them meet!"
Then I,e would think OF Paris green,
Potassium cytniuc.
AND every other golden mean
OF certain stticlto.
And wnxc and watch aE the night tina
And worry all the day.
Haplcss is be who pay would lain,
But, haplcss, cannot pay.
The other was q merry soul,
Who took things as they came,
And, did they nut exactly come,
lie took them al1 thc same.
He ucrcr knew the meaning of
AN impaired appetite,
Aud loved to see his unpaid ~lne
.A-sparsle i'll the light:
Whcreon he d pleasantly remark.
