Dark-shaded by the mournful Cypress tree:
And yet it's s1nlit mountain tops are bathed
In Heavens own blue. Upon its eraggy cliffs,
Robed in the distant light of dreamy years,
Are clustered joys serene of other days
Upon its gentle, sIoping hillsidss bend

A Curious Prediction.

In the year l7l2, Dir. Winston, having
calculated the return OF comet which was
to make its first appearance ON Wednesday.
the l4th of October, at fge minutes after
five in the morning, gave notice to the pub.
lie accordingly, with this terrifying addition,
that total dissolution of the world by fire
was to take place the Friday following, The
reputation Mr. Winston had long maintained
in England, both as divine aud philoso>
pher, left little or no doubt with the popu,
lace of the truth of his predietioo.
Several !adierous events now took place.
A number of persons in and abou. London
seized all the boats ADD barses thew cosld
lay hsnds on in the Thames, very nationally
concluding that when the conffapration took
place there would be the most safety on the
water. A gentleman who had neglected
family prayers for moro than FIVE yesrs in,
formed his wife that he was determined to
resume that faudable practice the same ewes
ming; but his wife. having engaged ba at
her house. persuaded her husband to put i.
on till they saw whethar the comet appeared
or NOT. The South Sea stock immediatel
foil to five per cent, aud the East India to
eleven; aud the captain of Dutch shin
thre" all his powder into the river, that the
chip might not be endangered.
The next morning the comet appeared ac>
eNrdiDS to the prediction, and before noon
tho he!ist becsms universal that the day of
judgment was at hand. About this time one
hundFed and twenty three cEergymen were
terr'ed TO Lambeth, it is said, to petition that
sh"rt prayer might be penned and ordered.
there being none in the church service thnt

Good men who have to suffer for tho truth
they love and believe in ara always terribly
in earnest. Under the sharp trials that dis,
cpllne thsm their convictions are made SO
intense as almost to amount to inspiration.
There never lived q man to whom tho pure
religion of tho Gospel was more q tremeidous
reality than it was to John Knox
Once the chaplain of King, he fell M.
der fierce persecution for his adherence to
the reformed faith. and in the middle of the
sixteenth century became an exile from his
native land. Sentence OF death was passed
upon him, and though this was pever exc
outed, he was consigned to tho French gal.
leys, condition of slavery that made life a
burden
Queen Mary Stuart; of Scotland, was then
spending her time in France, and in tho not
untrequent trips of the gsllcys between that
country aud her turbulent kingdom in the
North, the slave John, ohained 10 the oar in
his prisonship, could catch tautaliziug
glimpses of the shores of home. These brief
and cruol visions embittered his suffsrines.
and might have tortured to desperation less
heroic soul, for there seemed no hone that
be would ever be free to set foot on his own
land again. But hope did not die in tho
breast of brave John Knox
