Tell of the treasures old
Riches of worth untold
Tales of the deep unfold t
Tales of ths waters wide
Tales of ths ocean tide,
Tell ns ys waves that roar I
Tales of the ocean shore.
Tell of the rotting hulls
Tell of the grinnii.g skulls ;
When shrieking sea blast lulls,
Darkness tl vision dulls,
Whisper, ye waters wide I
Tvles of the r lling tide. .
Tell us wild tales of yore I
Waves of the ocean shore.
Tell, ye wild waves that swell I
Tell of each coral cell ;
Tell of each hidden well
Wonders that ever dwell
Deep 'neath the ocean tide,
Where the still waters wide
Heed not the waves that roar
Loudly on ocean's shore.
Tell of the missing crew
Sunk 'neath thy waters bluet
God and the sea-wave knew
When, on the wild blast flew,
Cleaving ths leaden air,
Many a poor sailor's prayer.
Heard not forever more,
Far on the distant si. ore.
Tell of that northern brave
Lost 'neath the icy wave,
Where no kind hand could says t
Tell us ye waves that lavs
Now, as in days of yore,
Ocean's rock girded shore ;
Tell, O ye waters wide !
Tales of the ocean tide.
Tell, O thou wondrous deep t
Tell of ths wrecks that sleep
Low where the sea-vines creep)
Where the huge monsters keep
Watch 'neath the ocean tide.
Wheu the blue waters wide,
Swell, as in days of yore,
High o're old ocean's shore.

Wa'king through life's dusty highways,
Mid the tramp of hurrying feet,
We may gather much instruction
From the ' lessons of the street."
Now a beggar sues for succor
Nay, repress that look of pride I
'Neath that wrecked and shattered body
Doth a human soul reside.
Here's a brow that aeems to tell you,
" I am prematurely old j
1 have spent my yonthft I vigor
In an eager aearch for gold."
On the cheek of yon pale student
Is a divorcement most unkiLd
'Tis the cruel separation
Of his body from his mind.
Hers a painted child of shame
Flaunts in costly robes of sin,
With a reckless mir.b that cannot
Hide the smoulderlg fires within.
And her- 's a face, so ralra and mild,
Mid the restless din and strife j
It seems to say, In every line,
" I'm aiming for a higher lire."
Just then I caught a mournful glance,
As on the human river rushed,
A harrowing look, which plainly said,
'- Ths music of my soul is Lushed."
Look on that face, so deathly pale,
Its bloom and flush forever fled)
I started, for it seemed to bear
A message to the silent dead.
Thui hurries on the stream of life,
To empty where Death's waten meet )
We pass along, wt pass away
Thus end the lessons of ths street.
History of Life.
r lAiay coinwall.
Day dawned. Within a curtained roem,
Filled to faintnesi with perfume,
A lady lay at point of doom.
Day closed. A chi'd had seen the light i
But for the lady fir ind bright
6he rested in undreaming night.
Spring came. The lady'a grava was green
And near It oftentimes waa seen
A gentle boy with youthful meln.
Tears fled. He wore a manly face,
Aid struggled la ths world's rough raee,
And won, at last a lofty-place.
And then he died. Behold before ye,
ll,imnity's brief sum and story
Life, Dealh, and all there is of Gloat.

Mr. F.ditor, Ionider his experience
duiiug the lust ten or twenty years, one of
priceless value, in a certain point of view ;
u iid 1 inu.'h dislike to see it thrown away.
(He knows how to train men's bodies,
ii i id there are a thousand plau where
just Mich men are wanted.) Sir, 1 pro
test nyninsi our rutigmn all lh-se strong,
Sainton men to the service of the devil.
1 dislike to see Sutaii's body-guard
llach'guards though they are six feet
high, and forty-five inches about the chest J
while the servants of God go creeping
about little shnd-ballied fellows scarce
able to walk under the Christain armor,
much less fight in it !
" I hope that Awful Gnrdnf r'if he re
main firm in the faith, may have a pro.
fessortii z some great theological fdiool,
where he may bring forth fruit meet for
repentance in the shape of strong-lunged
and strong-armed ministeres of God !
Thus only can he give indemnity for the
past and security for the future."
Mr. Editor, we want more muscle as
well as more mind in our pulpits. When
Henry Ward B -echer went to be examin
ed by the phrenologist, Fowler walked
around him, and eyed him as aiickey
would eye a fine horse, and said. " You're
a splendid animal " " That's just it," ha
replied ; " that's the lecret of my u cess !"
Truth ! When a man's body is vigor
ous, his mind is vigorous, and iiis thoughts
u re energetic, searching and clear, I don't
know whether our Christain churches
have grown weak because our milliliters
have grown lean, ' or whether the minis
ters have grown lean because the churches
mve become weak ; but of thi I nm sure,
that many of our miin.-ters to-day weigh
too little in the pulpit because they weigh
too little on the scales.
Mr. Kditor, have you noticed how much
smaller veals our minister! wear to-day
thau they did twenty yean agoT Sir,
Joseph Badger's jacket would button round
a half dozen of them ; yea, and you could
tuck in a Culvir.ist under every button. I

Fnct Laiioh in Texas. The New
Orleans 11 :e of a late dale thus speaks of
the rapidly growing strength of free labor
iu Texas:
" We have recently conversed with an
intelligent and ob.servant gentleman, who
has travelled all over the northern and
western portions of that State. He in
form us mat throughout ihoie sections of
country, tho immigration is nearly entire
ly derived from foreigners, of whom
tieven-eighths aro Germans. Excellei.t
agricuhurii-ts, hardy and patient tillers of
the soil, sober, temperate, industrious,
peac ful, and obedient to law. this popula
tion in many respects cannot be surpassed
but they are, from birth, breeding, and
habits of thought, invincibly hostile to
slave labor. Not one in a thousand owns
a negro, and there nre whole tiers of
counties in certain parts of Texas which
cat, in the aggregate, many thousand
rotes, where one may travel many a day
and scarcely see a black skin, or hear the
accents of the English tongue.
" Our informan. states, as the result of
personal inquiry and observation, that if
no marked change occ ur, before ten years
elapse Texas will be divided into four
States-one ilaveholding and the others
free."
