FORTUNATE ESCAPE.
Again, there is a blessing in an abbrevi-
ated earthly existence in the fact that one
escapes 50 many bereavements. The longer
we live the more attachments and the more
kindred, the more chords to he wounded or

to temptation. God saw the tempest sweep
!, ing up from the Caribbean, and he put the
% delicate craft into the first harOor. Taken
