The Kings Ships.

God hath 50 many ships upon the seal
His are the merchantmen that carry treas
ure,
The men of war. all hammered CALAMITY, .s4
The little ffsher-boats and barks of pleas
ON all this sea of time there is not one
That sailed without the glorious name there
The winds GO up and down upon the sea, II
And some they lightly clasp, entreating
kindly,
And wait them to the port where they would
be;
And other ships they buffet, long and
blindly.
The cloud comes down on the great sinking
deep,
And on the shore the watchers stand and
weep. avs
And God hath many wrecks within the sea;
o, 1T is deepi look in fear and wonder;
The wisdom throned above is dark to me,
Yet # is sweet to think his care is under;
That yet the sunken treasure may be drawn
Into his storehouse when the sea is gone. e
So 1. that sail in peril on the sea,
With my beloved, whom yet the wayes may
cover,
Say: God hath more than angels care of me-.
And larger share than in friend and lover.
why weep We so. ye watchers on the land.

How a Wounded Snake was
Cured.

The Presiding Elder of the Murfrees-
boro District of the Virginia Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, which includes about a dozen
counties in the northeastern section of
North Carolina, tells the following re-
markable snake story upon the authori-
ty of one of the pious itinerants under
his ecclesiastical direction. There can
be no doubt of its entire truth, strange
as the narrative is, and it suggests the
existence of many a mystery in the
economy of the lower orders of creation
which has thus far eluded the most min
ute and searching scientific investiga.

Seven Ages of Man.

In baby carriage neat,

As she flirts along the street.

About tne men he killed in battle,

OF hot summers and cold winters
And the bars and deer he slew.
