A BEAUTIFUL SCENE.
f J. R. Chandler, Editor of tie Philadel
t phia U. S. Gazette, describes the follow.
d ing exquisite scene. It is more beautiful,
t more touchingly pure than the purest
- dream. Ile was walking in the late watch
, es of the night, when the stars were bright
g in the heavens-the earth fresh and fragrant
s with the night daw, and the great ocean on
- wihose shorcs he wandered, pealing its sol
a enn hymn through the starlit darkness,
A when he saw this holy scene.-There was
a no star in the heavens brighter than the
- erveat aspirations of the simple hearted
.sailor; and his prayer, was, in God's ear,
- louder and more sublime than the roaring,
p of the great ocean:
dI At lengvh a repeated remark-drewv'my
- attention towvards the bank; looking over
dl which I saw an elderly rean In a rough
d dress with a small boy li.ssIde.
o "Why nt?" inquirecd the sailor.
t, ''Decause you called me so earnestly,
it and bade me meet yon on t' ieach, as
soony as I could get dressed."
e "It should not have been neglected."
r said the old man,
s "I should think,'' said the boy, with an
e appearance of great deference, 'that you
n could not have been up long."
d "No, I had just riseni when I called you."
There wias a pause of a few moments,
r which the old man broke by saying:
it "Weo are quito early, anid perhaps the
o duty omitted by both of us at the house may
b be disch-irged here. We wvill scarcely
I) work the wvorse for it to-day."
i The speaker then took off a glazed hat,
d aind displayed a~ head slightly bald; the long
s mottled hair on its sides trembled in the
-slight breeze that set in from the ocean.
is Th'le younger also laid aside his hat, and
b~othi knelt upon the sand. In a solemn
tone the father covpenenced his morning's
I- dlevotion. I could not catch all the words;

RECEIPT FOR MAKING INDIAN PUDDING.
The rendera of tile Bannei will find the following
a good recript for making an excellent and chieap
pudding, of which we have often partaken. It was
furmsed by a lady.

Such persons are apt to think themselves

Their minds, being already sore, feel the

be so cruel as to add affliction to the afihic
