One night, shortly after the passeigeis had gone on board a steamer plying between two Atlantic cities, the stewardess of which was a pious mulatto, the wind suddenly changed, dark clouds obscured the rising moon, and at length there was every appear ance of a terrible gale. The ladies who were retiring, became alarmed and timid; amid all other calls for help, Stewardess was constantly obliged to go to the door of the cabin'in order to convey messages from the anxious husbands and fathers without. "Stewardess," called one, " how are the ladies in berth thirty-two ? Tell them the captain says there is no real danger, this is a mere squall of wind ; it'll be over in an hour or two." " Oh, Stewardess ! I hope -you'll take good care of my wife," said another, "she's apt tote awful sick. I suppOse it's against your rules for me to , go into the cabin, but I'll stay near the door, till the wind goes down." "I'll do the best I can, sir," said the ',NO WA turning hastily.in answer to an impera tive cry for assistance." - " Stewardess," murmured a tall gentle man touching her shoulder as she washasten ing back,. "my daughter is in berth eleven, I fear she is alarmed, will you give her this," pie:lording a small piece of paper,"and tell her our Heavenly Father is watoling over us here as well as on land." • "Aye, 4e, sir" that I will;" and Steward ess, notwithstanding her haste, cast a glance of pleasure on the noble form before her. ' The lady in birth, eleven was pressing both 'tor hands to her head. Her face and lips were white as marble, but she uttered not one complaining word, Stewardess saw at once that she was suf fering keenly, and said, in a soothing tone, " can I get you anything, miss? Here, I've brought you a note from your father." • " Will you please to read it, said thq girl, feebly, ""my head aoheli se; I'm aim* blind." "_Yes, dear." She turns so,that the light Will fall.upon the paper, and reacts " Tholl wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is sted on thee." "That's a precious text, miss; its' com forted me many a time." " Thankyou, nurse, so it is. Oh, I wish father could. come in and pray with me! Where is he now ?" " Help, Stewardess, quick'! " shrieked ja young girl, " oh, I know I shall die !" The woman turned reluctantly from the lady, and assisted the other to remove her rich travelling dress, so that she could lie down'in her berth. " I'm sure we shall all be drowned," ex claimed the girl, beginning to cry as soon as she was a little relieved. 6 Oh, dear, I can't die .yet ;I'm not prepared." • this moment, the vessel lurched and *ocked so that the woman was almost thrown off her feet. Every timber creaked and gemmed, while the- sound of many -feet and aip 4cutilig of the captain preyed that the gale was at its height. The noise and con fusion in the cabin was terrible. Several la des ,sprang from their berth and commenced ressing themselves. Others cried aloud, and others, too sick to arise, shrieked and loudly lamented their fate, doomed, as they thought, to a watery grave. Running here and there, as her attention was required, the Stewardess saw that the young lady in number eleven had arisen from her berth, and was kneeling by a chair, in the most retired place she could find. Paus ing one moment near her, she found she had attracted attention, and then said, "If you would read a few verses aloud, miss, I think you might do a power of good." SAWERS. Without a word, the young lady arose, and approaching a table, opened the Bible, and in a low, faltering voice, began the one hun dredth and seventh psalm. The noise witllln the cabin was so great, that at first the reading could not be heard, but with the help of the Stewardess, who passed from one berth to another with a whis per, " hush, the young lady is reading," the passengers ceased their crying and began to listen. " These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. For he COLD mandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up the heaven, they go down again to the depths , their soul is melted, because of trou ble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits end. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then they are glad because they be, quiet; so'he bringeth them unto their desired haven. Oh, that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, for his wonderful works to the children of men I" " Thank you, thank you, miss," was echoed from one part of the cabin to another, when the psalm was concluded. Will you please tell me, dear," called out one old lady, " whereabouts that chap ter is ?" "I never see such a book," apostrophized Stewardess, " it's calmed 'em all down like lambs. I'm sure I thank you a thousand times, miss, for obleeging me. They all seem mazingly comforted by it." In an hour or two, the gale had subsided, and the ladies having received the assurance that all danger was past, retired once more to their berths, where many of them soon fell asleep. The occupant of number eleven, however, was an exception. She still sat near the table, the Bible open before her, and her whole attention apparently absorbed in its sacred contents. At length, when all was quiet, Stewardess drew near and said, in a respectful tone, "I'm , glad to see you love that good book, miss.' " Oh, it is precious!" exclaimed the young lady enthusiastically, "I never felt its power so much as to-night. I am not very strong," she added, with a heightened color, "and must confess when you first came to me I was terribly alarnied. But those few words you read calmed me at once. How kind in father to think of me. I wish he could know how, quiet I feel." " see if I can find him," said the Stew ardess, rising cheerfully. " Oh, I thank you! Tell him I found the gracious promise fulfilled, and now I beg of him to go to sleep." After she had delivered the message, Stew ardess returned, and finding the young lady did not intend to retire, gladly availed her self of the invitation to resume-her seat. " This is my time for reading," she said, drawing a worn Bible from her pocket. "You love the good book, too, I see," re marked the lady with a smile. "It's home and family to me, miss. It's company to me, night and day. If the wind's blo.Wing a gale, as it did to:night, Heel safe, because I know who holds the waters in his fist. I know, if he wills, it, he can speak the waves into a calm. My heart warmed at once-to your faither l miss, *Lea he-sent you that verge thilik of 'lt - *lbis dues - warm to those who read the good kook." "You have a great opportunity to study character here, nurse." "Yes, miss, and allus find those who fear to offend the Lord in a 'calm love him and confide in him the most when they're in danger." " What do you mean?" "Why, afore the passengers have been on board twelve hours, I can generally tell who are christians and who belongs to the world. I don't mean, professors, I mein genwine heart christians. A - chance word or expres sion, miss, tells a great deal, and I've often thought how much good christians may do if they bear it in mind. But, as I was saying, those who Jove Christ run right to him, as you did, when they're in trouble, while oth ers shriek and scream, and don't know where to go for help." The young lady looked very thoughtful, and at length said L" I never considered it in, that light before, but I'm afraid I have been too timid in speaking of religion. Such subjects always seem so sacred to me." The next morning dawned clear and bright. Within the cabin there was scarcely a trace of the.confusion and fright caused by the tempest. Indeed, few remembered it except to joke each other at giving way to alarm.. "I didn't suppose there was any real dam ' , ger, said one. " Your screams at the time would lead one to think you slid," 'answered her compa nion. • "We ought to be thankful to, our heavenly Father that we are alive this pleasant morn- ing," remarked Stewardess, who happened to be passing. " Yes, we ought," exclaimed a sickly look ing lady, " and to the young miss whose reading reminded us where to put our trust." The second night several-of the passengers approached the table in the cabin, and read a felt verses- 4.omsthe.,Bil*Alefcior , posy en tered their bertha Stewardess watched her opportunity, .and when all was quiet, begged her yonng friend, to read again for the benefit of the whole. Quite a number of voices echoed the wish, when, in ,a sweet, distinct tone, she read the fourteenth chapter chapter of John's Gospel. Not a sound was heard as she then, m an, unostentatious manner, kneeled by her chair, while she -silently commended her soul to God, and asked his protection for the night. " Oh, miss," exclaimed Stewardess, com-- ing forward eagerly to help her undress " I am glad you . are not ashamed to own Christ.: I wish all christians mould, Was bold as worldly people are, in proclaiming them , selves.—Tke Pious Stewardess. THE BEATING HEART. AND ITS LESSON. WHEN I was a very little girl, one evening my mother called me.to her side to undress me faibed. Looking at me very earnestly,. and stroking .iny.head rovingly, she said ittf me, " Go into the parlor, dear, and run across the room as hard as you can, three times : '.' Astonished at such a direction as this, and wondering what she could wish me to do such a strange thing for, I ran off gaily7-accom plished the order, and running back breath less to her, she took my little hand and laid it over, my heart, and asked me if I felt its beating. Of course I felt it distinctly—and she told me that was my heart—that if it should stop beating, I would die—that God made it beat night and day, day and night —all the time, without a -moment's pause, and that he could stop it as easily as he could keep it going ; but that if he should, I would stop breathing, and would soon be cold and Aintrir An- 7 1 1 E): 0 Itt t tiitit 4#d- ......14,*,.:0t.,(...,,.-:;-0v4.-.#1,g.,.1i....e'ot stiff in death. Then she asked me if that was not a wonderful God who made every being upon earth—every man, woman and little child, and gave to each and every one beating hearts like mine, and kept them all in motion. Some day, she said, he would stop its beating, and then I would die—every body would die—no person in the world would live always—that God had appointed unto each and all a time to die. For some unaccountable reason this asto nished me more than anything she had yet told me; for I had already studied my "Par ley's Geography" enough to have some idea of the magnitude of the world, and the mul titudes of people in it, and that they should all have a time appointed in which to die— every person, without an exception—all liv ing now, and all who should be born, nearly paralyzed me with awe. Like a woman of discernment and judgment, she perceived she had told me enough for one night, and asked me if a little girl like me should 'not love the wonderful God who gave me such a strong, vigorous little heart, and kept it throbbing to keep me alive, and would it not be very ungrateful in her even for one night, to forget to thank him for his unceasing care and love. Then she clasped my hands, and listened re verently to my evening prayer, .which re peated with unusual solemnity. The quiet evening—the astonishment with which I received and obeyed her strange order—her sole - Inn and reverential manner—' all conspired to make an impression on my plastic mind, which no changeS of time can eradicate. The lesson of that night is as vivid to my mind as if it hid occurred but last week. Many an' eventful year has in tervened—many a long year has passed since my mother's warm and loving heart beat its last throb. " That heart on which we slept In the far long-ago, Ere sorrow broke it, and ere time had swept Her dark hair o'er with snow. The frost hath lain, the weed bath gTown above That heart whose,warm depths God had filled with love." Her features have nearly faded from my memory, but this and similar otlt lessons have not, and never will fade. Her heart has followed the decree of its Maker, as she that night predicted to me it surely would, but her teachings yet live. A day or two since my, heart began a fu rious beating—presently it stopped; I grew weak and blind ; I thought of the words of my sainted rnother—" Some day it will stop, and you will stop breathing, and soon be cold and stiff in death." Had that sday come ? No kind friends were near to apply remedies, and my heart resumed its accustomed labor. It has not yet attained the regularity of health, and I am ever and anon, reminded of the solemn looks and tones of my dear mo ther on that memorable night. May it find me as ready as she herself was, to enter into my: rest. Mothers, do you realize and appreciate the beautiful and endearing relationship between yourself and children? Do you embrace every opportunity to impart and impress, as only a tender, loving mother can do, some interesting or important lesson ? Do you, like my faithful mother, make such opportu nities, or do you rest satisfied with having performed your whole duty, when you have provided for their temporal wants, and taught them the catechism and the , ..Rsalms ?

He had prayed importunately for the abatement of the dis ease, but the child continually struggled with intense pain. - A calm at last visited the suf ferer. The pulse that had throbbed and-Int : . tered beat feebly and slowly. A deathlike hue overcast the features. The physician shook his head sadly, and said there was no hope. Suddenly the father thought that per haps God was about to take away hiseebild, to save the child from a life of error. Should he pray God to change his purpose? There was a struggle in the parent's heart. He gazed 'wistfully upon the child's countenance. It was calm, beautifully' calm. The cheeks that were wont to dimple with laughter, were rigid, still, marblelike. The eye, that_ deep of affection into which he had loved to gaze, *as Unusually brilliant.

TIIE papers which think that Mr. Wendell Philips was served right when he was mob bed in Cincinnati are the same' papers that thought the speech of Mr. Yancey at the Cooper Institute, just before the election of 1860, a very eloquent oration, and profound ly worth public attention. In that speech Mr. Yancey told us that slavery was a grand thing, and if we undertook to censure it by electing Mr. Lincoln:slavery could not think of submitting to such an indignity, and must necessarily break up‘the Union. Therewas no, report of rotten eggs or rioting upon 'the occasion. It was simply a part of the effort to carry the election Under threat of revohl tion. When treason was struggling to make good what Mr. Yancey had said, Mr. Phillips de clared in Cincinnati he was an. abolition ist and a Union maikAe Aelegraph said "dis unionist, but thatis - tai=iery thing Mr: lips repudiated)---au ‘he was mobbed for saying so. " Served lum right !" cry the pa pers that had so tender a heart and quick an ear for Mr. Yancey. Now let us have 'a• fair understanding of this matter. Mr. Yancey was,,an open dis unionist, so was Mr. Phillips. Mr. Yancey was for disunion became the dominance of slavery in the Government was threatened. Mr.-Phillips, because' he thought the. Govern ment hopelessly committed to the protection of slavery. One thought that the Govern ment was going to be „just, therefore he was its enemy. The: ; other thought that it was unjust, therefore he opposed it. • The mob in Cincinnati was an effort to to solace, treason. It was engineered doubt less by men who would betray that city to Jeff.
