Sorrow on the Sea.

(From the Rock. )

The following exquisitely beautiful little poem appeared in the ‘* Christian,” on the 4th inst. It was written some years ago in a friend’s album, by the late Captain Hare, of

!Hl. M.S. ** Earydice,” whose loss only those

who knew him well know how to adequately

mourn, The gallant officer was a faithful and

consistent follower of Christ, ‘* ready to go at

a moments notice to his Master’s call.” May

we all be equally well prepared when our sum-

mons comes! ‘‘ If you can’t swim, beware of

Providence,” once wrote the infidel Shelley,

and his impions words, studied in the light of

subsequent events, read like a strange and and

dark provision of his fearfulend. Ina far

different spirit we scan the lines—so true in

their sentiment and so melodious in their ea-

dence—which Captain Hare unconsciously

‘** bequeathed as a rich legacy” to the loved

ones he has left behind, and from whom he is

now separated ‘‘ for alittle season.” ‘* There

is sorrow on the sea—it cannot he quiet.—Jer.

X LIX Chap.,22rd verse.

‘*T stood on the shore of the beautiful sea,

As the billows were roaming wild and free ;

Onward they came with unfailing force,

Then backward turned in their restless course

Ever and anon sounded their roar,

Foaming and dashing against the shore ;

Ever and ever they rose and fell,

With heaving and sighing and mighty swell ;

And deep seemed calling aloud to deep,

Lest the murmuring waves should drop to sleep.

In summer and winter, by night and by day,

Thro’ cioud and sunshine holding their way ;

Oh! when shall the occan’s troubled breast

Calmly and quietly sink into rest ?

Oh! when shall the waves wild murmuring cease,

And the mighty waters be hush’d to peace ?

Then the ocean’s voice I seemed to hear,

Mournfully, solemaly—sounding near,

Like a wail sent up from the caves below,

Fraught with dark memories of human woe,

Telling of loved ones buried there,

Of the dying shriek and the dying prayer ;

Telling of hearts still watching in vain

For those who shall never come again ;

Of the widow's groan, the orphan’s cry,

And the mother’s speechless agony.

Oh, no, the ocean can never rest

With such secrets hidden within its breast.

There is sorrow written upon the sea,

And dark and stormy its waves must be ;

It cannot be quiet, it cannot sleep, —

That dark, relentless,and stormy deep.

But a day will come, a blessed day,

When earthly sorrow shall pass away,

When the hour of anguih shall turn to peace,

And even the roar of the waves shall cease :

Then out from its deepest and darkest bed,

Still ocean shall render vp her dead,

And, freed from the weight of human woes,

Shall quietly sink in her last repose.

No sorrow shall ever be written then

On the depths of the sea or the hearts of men ;

But heaven and earth renewed shall shine,

Still clothed in glory and light divine ;

Then, where shall the billows of ocean be?

Gone / for in heaven there is ‘‘no more sea.”

"Tis a bright and beautiful thing of earth,

That cannot share in the soul’s ‘‘new birth” ;

"Tis a life of murmur, and tossing and spray,

And at resting time it must pass away.

But oh thou glorious and beautiful sea !

There is health and joy and blessing in the ;

Solemnly, sweetly, I hear thy voice,

Bidding me weep and yet rejoice—

Weep for the loved ones buried beneath,

Rejoice in Him who has conquered death ;

Weep for the sorrowiag and tempest tossed,

Rejoice in him who has saved the lost ;

Weep for the sin, the sorrow, and strife,

And rejoice in the hope of eternal life.”

"Ao Miendish, Trade.

(From the New York Herald. )

Indignation could scarcely go to greater lengths against any occupation than it has already gone against the Italian padrones who conduct an infamous traffic in the slavery of children in this and other cities ; but it appears that the horrible industry of selling Italian boys and girls mto a slavery which requires them to pursue the vocation of mendicants is not the worst of the offen- ces of these men, and if the latest allegation made against them is true the indigation hitherto felt will be a mild seatiment by comparison with the mood in which they will be regarded. There is reason to be- lieve that a blind child found in the streets in the custody of an Italian beggar has been purposely blinded to fit her to excite the sympathy of passers-by that her mendicant keeper may profit thereby. It is to be hoped that if this charge is sustained an ex- ample may be made that will at once stop such a horrible trade.

The threatened repeal of the United States bankruptcy law has caused great ac- tivity in insolvency proceedings. At Chi- cago four insolvencies were reported on each of the first three days of the week, twelve yesterday, and ten are expected

Tux following verses, which have no other merit than that of being sincere and in earnest, were written many years. ago, dur- ing the war in the Crimea and at Sebasto- pol. In principle they are equally appli- cable now when ‘‘ monster meetings’ in Hyde Park are endeavoring to drive the British Government into an abyss which may have no bottom, and when Canada is called upon to send away ten thousand of her best and bravest sons, who may full soon be called upon to defend their own frontier against Fillibusters, Fenians, et id genus omne. Verbum sat sapienti. ‘Those who read the History of the year 1811 must remember that in England’s dire struggle against the first Napoleon, the gigantic President declared war in time of peace by firing a broadside into the ‘‘ Little Belt.” Vich Dhomnuil mon ard :—

O pause awhile my countrymen ! consider wel your work,

When thus, against a Christian Prince, ye bat- tle for the Turk !

() pause awhile, my countrymen! and judge it it be right

To aid the Moslem Crescent ‘gainst the cross of Russian might !

Old Eagland’s peers and gentlemen, assailed on every side,

Iu serried band can scarce withstand the Rab- ble’s roaring tide ;

Is this a time for England’s sons in Turkey's aid to roam,

And leave their Fatherland a prey to maddened mobs at home ?

‘Tis true, indeed, our country fights as was her wont to do,

And Russia will be met as France was met at Waterloo ;

To quell the ruthless Corsican was then Old England’s hope,

And Scotland saw in Bonaparte a second John ny Cope.

But Russia wields a tgnchent sword, when rising in her might,

And England’s whiggish statesmanship has robbed her of the right, —

First to agree to Russia's wish, and then the deed ignore !

How changed is England of to-day from Tory

times of yore !

With ‘‘Nane but Highland bonnets here?”

_ the gleaming weapons shine ;

Sir Collin Campbell’s plaided ranks are formed in triple line!

While Russia’s best, her veteran host, in wild confusion hurled,

Proclaim the ‘‘ Chlann nan Gael” the boast and wonder of the world.

Ye Highland Chiefs, my kinsmen true, my fancy hears the sounds

Of your wild Pibroch, and my heart to every note rebounds !

Wherever march the plaided Gael, in cause, or right or wrong,

With éhem my kindred spirit flies, not like itself more strong.

When Douglass hurled the heart of Bruce amid the Moslem crew,

‘Brave heart,” he. cried, ‘I follow thee, as was my ‘wont to do !”

Then rushing “mid the Scimitars, in battle’s direst close,

He little thought his country’s targe would eer defend such foes?

If graver themes, my countrymen, your better thoughts engage,

Then turn ye, for your guidance, to the Bible’s holy page !

The Booke of Royal Chronicles the story sad can tell,

How fighting in a cause unblest, King Ahaziah fell.

May nations meet in conference to heal each hostile jar !

And put a final end to all the miseries of war!

May discord and rebellion, too, in Christian countries cease !

May all our thoughts he charity, and al! our days be peace.

Many years ago in Scotiand illicit distilla- tion was a practice consequent on the na- tional love of potent beverages. It was la- mentably prevalent. The idle Highlander planted his still in the remote glen of the mountain corrie, and prepared his whiskey by the light of the moon. He was an in corrigible offender. An Argyleshire High- lander was reproved by his minister for en- gaging in this illegal traffic. ‘*Ye mauna ask me,” said the smuggler, ‘‘to gie’t up. for it supports the family. My faither, an, his faither afore him, made 2 drappie. The drink is gude—far better for a bodie than the coorse big-still whiskey. Besides, | permit nae: swearin’ at the still, an’ a’ is dune dacently an in order. J dinna see mueckle harm in’t.”

Mr. D., an Irish gentleman well-known in New York, was lately mvited to dinner in that city by a, wealthy Scotch resident, at_ whose generous table he met a number of his host’s countrymen. The conversa- tion turned on Irish bulls, of which one and another of the company reported several, until the table was ina roar. The Irish guest kept quiet until his patience was ex- hausted, but at length blurted out :—‘‘Say, Mr., an’ do ye kKttow what I think ?” ‘* Why, indeed, what do- you think, Mr. D.!’ “Shure, sir, an’ do you know that I think, indade, that not more than one-half of these lies that they tell about the Irish are true!” This unintended contribution io the subject under discussion brought down the honse.
