was invited to Jail in Massachusetts
by young lawyer, who has sinco become
United States Senator, to examine the head
OF c!iont Of his whom he was to dcfend
on tho charge of stealing. No information
was given as to his alleged crime, aud We
described the young man as boingabnormally
aoquisitive, or selfish in respect to posscssion;
that ho had very strong veneration, and
would manifest much religious devotion,
and would be sincere in it; while with his
etnall cautiousness and consoentiousness and
very large acquisitiveness he would be likely
to trespass upon the rights OF others in the
way of stealing.
AT this point the lawyer told tho young
man he might tell me what he had told him
{the lawyer.) He vert on to relate that
he had becn in the habit of stealing every
thing, whether he wanted it or not; that he
would go TO prayer meeting and take the
Opportunity Of praying two or three times
during tho evening, and sometimes on the
way home he would be inspired with deyo.

corner of the fence alone, and have season
of prayer that was sweet and heavenly to
him; and, strange as it may seem, if he
saw hoe hanging on farmers fdnoe, or
whiiiie.trec chain, or pin of cart neap,
OF beetle and wedges, or an old ak, half
worn, he would steal it, and afterward ie
would OCCUR to him that he could not use
tho articles, nobody would buy them, and
his only way was to conceal them; and he
remarked that there was a hollow log lying
IN small pieco of wood in which he had
secreted the articles which he had stolen
because ho dare not carry them home nor
Offer thcm for sale. But it seemed to him
that he could not help stealing them; tho
impulse came on, and though he was sipcero
10 his religious devotions, and exceedingly
happy 10 their performance, he soomed to
himself to be left to tho temptation of the
devil when anything which might be stoleh
was left 10 his way.

examination, and at the end Of long and
sharp analysis Of his character, 10 which
aequisitiveness and seoretiveness had been
described as strongly developed and. very
active, apd also conscientiousness and
oaatiousness had been estimated as large, he
seemed unwilling to co. but walked up and
down tho room for several minutes, as it. he
had some burdsned question he wanted to

Twenty Eve years ago there was voll-

The Sabbath day was ending, in vitlsgo

The uttered bencdiJtion touched tito sptoplo

Aud thoy rose to faoe Che ftnset III 'tke
glowing, lighted west,
And then hsstened to their dwellings for
Gods blessed boon of rest.
But they looked across tho waters, aud a
stotm was raging there;
A fierco spirit moved above them--the wild
spirit Of tho air
Aud it lashed, and shook, and tore them, till
they .thupdered, groaned ahd boouied,
Aud, alas! for ahy vebsel in their SaMning
gults ehtombcd
Very anxious were the pcoplo on that rocky
coast of Wales,
Hest tho dawus Of coming t,ofrows should
be telling awful tales,
When the sea had speut it's passion, lind
should cast Upon the shore
Bits of wreck, and swolch victims, as il had
done heretofore.
With the rough winds blowing round her, a
brave woman strained her cycs,
Aud sbe saw along the pillows large vessel
foil and rise,
Oh! it did not need prophet to tell what
tho end must be,
Ror no ship could ride in safety near that
shore on such sea.
Then the plying people hurried from their
homes and throngcd the bench,
I'LL - 4 49,, Il kl~o
pereshing to reach!
Helpless hands were wrung for sorrow, ten.
der heurts grew cold with drsad,
Aud the ship, urged ty tho tempest, to the.
fatal rock shore sped.
"Shc has parted 10 tho middle! Oh! the
half of her goes down! '
God have mcrcy is his heaven fur to seek
for those who drownE'
Lo! when next the white shocked faces
looked with terror on the sea,
Only one lost olingiog figure on spar was
seen to be.
Nearer the trembling watchers camo the
wreck tossed by the wave,
And the man still cuug and hoated, though
no power on earth could save,
"Could We scnd him short message? Here's
trumpet! Shout away!"
Twas the preachers hand that took it, aud
he wondered what to say.
Aby memory Of his sermon? Firstly? Sec

There was but ono thing to uttcf 10 the aw-
hour of woe;
So he shouted through the trumpet, "Look
to Jesus! eau you hcar?"
Aad GAY, ny, sir'' rang the answer o'cr
the waters loud and clear.
Then they listened, "Ho is singing Jesus,
lover of my soul;'
And tho winds brought back the echo,
"whle the nearer watcrs ROLL"
Strange, indocd, it was to hear him s'till
the storm OF life is past"
Singing bravcly from the waters, "Oh, re-
coive my soul at last"
lie could have no other refuge! "Hangs my
helpless soul on thee;
Leave, oh, leave me not''-the singer
dropped at last into the sea.
And the watchers looking homeward,
through their eyes by tears made dim,
Said, "He passed to be with Jesus in The
singing Of that hymn"

WATER The water infants drink ia as
essential to health and life as the air they
breathe. In this expression We mean to
include tho milk they take. Water forms
eighty per ccnt. of tho bodies of infancy.
1t composes, then, very large part of al,
their tissues.
We can hardly appreciate the value of
water until wn realize how constantly tho
lnfaotlle suestnuoo demands it; how rapidly
it runs away by pcrspiration and tho oopious
secretioDs by the kidneys aud tho thousa ds,
Of glands found in every part Of the system.
If infants drink nothing but milk, oan this ,
fluid supply the demand for, water? Our
own observation, assures US that many in.
fants arc rendered feeble and sickly by not
having tho proper amount of this preoioug
beverage, of which they arc SO largely mado,
We havcr now aud thon been called to
suffering infants, who were relieved at opoo
by giving them draught of cold water.
Mothers may depend upon it that a few
teaspoonfuls of cool wator arc useful in
quieting restlessness and promoting sloop.
In health, no less than in disease, fresh
water is rs necessary as fresh air. Fresh
air, pure water and sunshine will aid nature
in oxpelling febrile. disease, and will super,
code, to very great extent, tho use Of
medicine.
