THE E0uHDERED sHrp.


Lake Michigan, November, 1884,
The morning b. oxe across the lake
Upon sea so fierce and wild;
The trembling sun one moment cleaned
Upon kneeling child;
His voice is heard In pleading tones
Between the clashing thunder's roar,
Amid the waves that swept the deck,
His form is bowed in prayer once more:
swift Thou grant us help in this awful
hour,
Great God of love and power Divine!
And breathe upon our storm-worn crew
A CLEAN Of hope from hand OF Thine!
OFather! grant their prayers and minew
The gallant seamen tired, and faint,
Had sunk on deck In numb despair;
From all that crew but two remained,
One held the helm-one knelt In prayer.
The helmsman knew his work was vain,
No ship could live in such storm.
The supplicant, in trusting faith,
Sang: "Praise to God for light, for dawn"
His voice, exhausted, strangely wild,
AWdhe5 tuC CICm Hull ucdbullht blGGp3
All trembling, they half rise and gaze,
Then list enwrapt to notes so sweet,
The timid sunbeams kiss the waves,
And soothe the grand old king to rest;
The boy, delirious, sang the hymns
He'd heard upon his mothers breast.
"Praise God from whom all blessings
1ow,"
He sang, with plaintive strain
And then they saw the coming ship;
His prayers had not been vain;
And on the lake, 80 broad and wild,
The sailors sang with the trusting child:
"Great God of all, who rules supreme,
We praise Thy power Divine,
Who hearkened to our helpless cry,
And clasped our hands in Thine!"
Anna G. Miller, in Inter Ocean.

The Heart Of the AIIeghanies.

mountains of West Virginia, gifted
journalist says:

ANEcDoTAL LITERATURE.
Gathered and Compiled by w G.

ENDEAvoRING TO PLEASE ALL.
When Lord Timothy Dexter, of
Newburyport, wrote his famous book
entitled, "A Pikel for the Knowing
Ones" there happened to be many
herisies, schisms, and false doctrines
abroad in the land regarding pune
tuation, and many diverse systems
appeared, for the location ofcommas,
semicolons, periods, dashes, etc., as
there were works published. To
obviate this difficulty, and to give
every one an opportunity of suiting
himself, his lordship left out all
marks of punctuation from the body
of his work, and at the ending of his
book had printed tour or FIVE pages
of nothing but stops and pauses with
which he said the reader could pep
per his dish as he chose.
