UNMANS, Fear was within the tossing bark, • When stormy winds grew loud, And waves gime rolling high and dark, And the tin mast was bowed. And men stood,breathless in their dread, And baffled in their skiil— Bat One was there, who rose and said To the wild sea, Be Mill 1 And the wind oeased—it ceased—l-that word Passed through the gloomy sky; The troubled billows knew their Lord, And eank'beniath hie eye: And slumber settled on the deep,. And silence on the blast, As whin the righteous tans asleep, When' death's fiCine throes are past. Thou that didet'rule the angry hour, indinme the,terupelit's mood, Oh !''-send' thy Spirit forth in power, Our our dark Bottle to brood t = . Thou Th that aide, the billow's pride, " , , Thy infind&tes to fulfil, So speak to passion's raging tide, Speak martial, Peace; be still! 1 1 ') Prith#,PitilabYtillan Banner., Presbytery of Redstone pe.Preshytery of Redstone held, an in termediatc meeting at Mt.

It is a noticeable Wit that in' most of our hospitals, Pennsylvania is more largely rep resented than any other State. The good old Keystone• State has poured outoher blood and treasure most freely in , the great, cause. During a late visit to the hospitals in Frederick / as well as on and in- the imme diate neighborhood of the battle-field! of Antietam,. numerous , incidents , of almost unparalleled , fortitude and heroism hive fallen under eur notice, a few;ef which may not:prove uninteresting to your readers.
