I'm adrift on lifo's ocean, and wildly I swoop, Aimless nnd helmlosi, its fathomless dcop, The wild winds assail me, it thrcatningly storms, I drift to a leo-shuro I I striko I am aground 1 Tlio mad waters whelm mo I drown I oh, I drown 1 Mercy, oh, mercy ! Oh, Lord ! set mo free, And take uie, oh, take me, to Heavou and fliec.

Rain ruin givo mo ruin, Let the stream of Deliverance flow gently to me, And drift me, oh ! drift mo to Heaven nnd Thoo. 'Mid tho wranglings of men and their conflicts so liereo, Half mad and desparing, my lips spit a curse, Instead of imploring a Rufugo, and Peace, From Life's mnddoning battle, for Hope and Release, 1 bear on defiantly, proud, reckless, unblanchcd, At the dangers that hem mo the cursos I launched, At Earth and nt Heaven, Lord ! inorcy for me, Rcceivo me ! roceivo ino ! to Honvcn nnd Thee. TART IT. But tho storm howls no lougor, tho desert is gono, The battle's fierco strife no moro hurries me on, Tho tempests no inoro lush tho ocoan'a calm breast, And tho clouds'float in beauty afar to the West, I move through Lifo's boworsfull of bliss and of lovo, Looking fondly to Earth nnd with transport abovo, And an nngel soft whispers, "Tho Lord sots thoo free To come to mo! como to me! dwell hero with mo 1" I thank Thoo, oh Lord ! that my raving career Was checked by tho hand of Omnipotence, hero, Thatstruek from its jarred equilibrium the mind Whoso balance my madness and folly combined Hud periled foro'er in my earthly career, Whilo night's thick'ning darkness encompassed mo hero, And my sad soul is ransomed, imprisoned and free, lam coming, oh, Lord 1 I bow gently to Thee. Joy ! joy!

Almost nil An e iciin. A writer in tho Spirit of the Times, in cor recting somo errors and omissions of ISisliop Mcado, respecting tho "first families" of Virginia, shows incidentally that the poet Thomas Campbell had n narrow escape from being an American. Tho hend of tho Campbell family in Virginia was tho llov. Archibald Campbell, from Scotland, related to tho Stuart and Argylo families. Ho kept a school in Westmoreland, wboro Chief Justice Marshall and tho Presidents Madison and Monroo were taught by him. His brother Alexander resided at Falmouth, but, on tho breaking out of the Revolution, preferred tho British sido of ho question, and returned to Scotland, whero, iu 1777, ho becamo tho father of Thomas Campbell, the author of "The Tlea-surcs of IIop" and "Gcrtrudo of Wyoming." A brother of the poet married a daughter of Patrick Henry. A Short Sermon and a Good One. The Rev. Dr. B , of Philadelphia, is noted for brief, sententious sayings in tho pulpit and out of it.

" Thero was a world of music in my mother's deep sorrowful voico, and! erosscd tlio room in tho wintor twilight, and threw myself on a low stool at her feet. Tho coal tiro was smouldering in tho grate. The carpet, with its dark rich "colors, looked warm and comfortable in tlio dim light, but outside the wind howled hurrying by, and the unquiet feet of tho wild November rain paced around the old house liko a sentinel. 1 had been a long timo loveu by ono good ana noble, nntl more than worthy. Ho was liko somo poet artist's conception of morning, with his calm high brow, Ins clear bluo eyes, and golden tresses. Thcro was nn expression of bold, fearless truth in his handsome, features, and a look of loving tenderness about his pleasant mouth. Ho was all sunshine, and he shono his way into my heart. I lo.ved him, though I hardly acknowledged it to myself. Ho was poor, and I I had but my proud old name, and the ruined uiansiun and tho wasted patrimony of tho race ol Stuarts. Another lover came, and this ono was noble. Tho gold lay yellow and deep and shin-in his iron colors, and the broad lands that . called him master, wcro green and fair. If Morgan Philips was radiant with 'ho beauty of morning, this other one, this Hunt llen-nesly, was tho porsoniflcution of somo stormy night, not wet with ruin of tears, but black, darkened nnd terriblo with heavy tempest clouds with now and then a star Hushing through them, like the gleam ol a giant's bur- lootstool ol the great white throne.

I could realize cverv dream ol my so-drenuung youth 1 coultl cross the Eastern desert, bivouac among liedouns, and stand among tho ruins of Jerusalem, and woep over tho liillen grundeur of Greece and Homo with him 1 could llont down tho castle llhino, look out on the stormy Hebrides, . : . . . . . and follow tho track of tho old Horsemen across tho Northern sea. With Morgan Philips, what should I share ? "Love," answered tremblingly tho low voice in my heart, and I saw a vision of a peaceful home, where my presence would make sunshine. 1 twined tho roses over the cottago walls, and rocked tho bluo eyed children, bright with tho golden hair of my lover husband, but the cosy tea-table with its fresh biscuit and clotted cream, brouglit visions of washing dishes and scouring knives ; the blue-eyed little ones of my rocking, however fast tlio cradle jogged, would cry, r,nd errant fancy turned with a sigh ol relief to the oilier picture tho lullaby of tho peaceful Mediter ranean the summer isles upon her breast. Lnconsioiisly 1 said uloiul : "I shall be Hunt Hennesly's ;" and then my mother called mo to her side. I thought as I sut down at her feet, how boautiful sho had been in years past, how beautiful she still waa, with hei great sorrowful black eyes. She looked1 steadfastly at me for a moment and then she said half sorrowfully : " My chill havo you promised to bo Morgan l'hi'ips' wife 1" " Xo mama, I am young yel." " Yes, very young ; but if you havo net promised, you havo let him sec for these many months that you loved him that his presenco at your sido was welcome. Now, llannc, if you did not mean towed liim,was this right ? " 1 blushed, and was silent, and sho continued : " I know Hunt Hennesly loves you, also, and I will not counsel you. Your own heart will bo your safest guard, if you will only follow it ; only limine Stuart my child, do not let ambition, power, luxury, anything tempt you to marry without lovo. The retribution will bo terrible, terriblo," and my mother drew her shawl about her and shuddered ; albeit tho room was warm. Her voice was husky when sho said : " I will toll you my oor girl, a story of my own youth. I had not thought to confess your father's faults or mine, and God knows which were heaviest, but you need the lesson and you shall have it. I was motherless. I have scon a picture of the beautiful being who died that I might livo, but sho passed from earth ore sho had clasped me to her breast. 1 was my fathcr's'idol, but at fifteen, ho died and left me poor. He had buA wealthy, but after my mother's death ho had trusted his fortune to a faithless steward, and I was scarcely above want. " I was very boautiful, tho world said, and I knew it well. The faco that met my gaze as I stood before my mirror, was bright bo-wilderingly lovely, I had been educated in conventual retirement, and my heart was fresh nnd pure. Ilove.l ! llumio, you have never known such a passion. It was worship it was idolatry it was tho life of my life. And he I loved was poor, Allen Grcamo was fatherless liko myself, but 1 was an inmnto of his mother's (lottugo. Very tenderly they cherished the orphan committed to their care. I know that Allen loved mo. I read it in ev ery act ; in tho appealing tenderness with winch nis bluo eyes would rest upon my face, in the care with which ho anticipated my wishes, and in the very intonations of his voice as he addressed me. " But another suitor came. Allen Grcame had never asked my love, and I had never promised in so many words to lie his bride, but for many months he had believed mo all his own, and yet when your father visited the cottago, his eyes sought my face, with a kind of questioning i-adness. Timo passed on, and sovon weeks more beheld mo Percy Stuart' betrothed. Looking back, I cannot, seo by what circumstances this chango was brought about. I worshipped Allen Urcaiuo as madly as cvor. His smile was the xiinshino o' my existancc. Your father loved me, at least he idolized my beauty, and he was a noble, glorious man. Still his presenco had no power to awaken a single heart thrill, But-ho was rich and nobly born. I coveted the proud ronlehU lovo could give tho stately mansion and tho old name. It was a long struggle between love and ambition, but at length I hid my hand in his. Scorn me. hate tnt limine, i deservo it. - I sinned willfully. I know I did not love him the heart and' soul wore long no yielded up in adoration to an-olher and yet 1 became his bride. "A lion never reproached me, but the stony hopeless sorrow in his blue eyes was more bitter than the most terrible words. His mother was as kind as ever. But I could see the hot tears full upon the bridal garments she was making. And I, Oh Ilnnne, shuddered, j looking back through all these years, at the bare thought of my silent agony. 1 believo that I was more beautiful than ever. My eyes wcro wildly bright, and my check flush, od liko wine nn hundred years old, mantling over a silver goblet. My bridegroom liked tho impassivo coldness of my manners. I do not think that ho cvor dreamed 1 did not lovo him, and my stateliness accorded well with the IoAy prido of himself and all his haughty race. " I married him.

It was two years, limine, before you was born, lie had learned of late to seek his happiness other where. I did not troublo myself to inquire tho nature of his pursuits, for 1 was grntelul to be left alone, hen you were put into my arms. I ruined tears ol blessing over you, thnnking God that my honrt cuitltl love still, "As I lay thero in silence with my eyes shut holding you on my heart, 1 heard uuu say : " Terliaps this child will win her lovo for mo.

" "It was a vain hope, llanno, I was colder to htm than ever. o both loved you. 1 would hold you in my arms hour after hour, raving madly over tho dead who should havo been your father. Ono night as I held you thus, my husband entered. " Katrine," said ho, "I shall die to-night, dio by my own hand. I havo lost my all at tho gaming table whither your coldness has driven me.- I am sorry for your sake, for the sako of our innocent child, but Oh you de-servo little olso, woman, who could sell yourself for station, when your very being was another's ! " "I knew his reproaches wcro just, and I sat still in defiant silence, holding you to my heart. For five minutes he stood silently looking on us. Then ho spoko again, with softened tone : " Katrine forgive mo. Perhaps you did not know your own heart until too lato. Lot not our parting bo in anger. I havo done you many wrongs, but I have suffered terribly. God will judgo me, and ho is merciful. Katrine, kiss mo onco more before I dlo. Once let mo hold you to my heart. You nro my wife.

But for you my darling would not have died. Before your coming I was happy. Go! You. cannot sillier ns I havo sullercd. ever since your haloful lips called mo wilo '. " " Then holding yon still, I sank down up on tho lloor, weak, hulplrss, in a position of sobbing. I can remember nothing distictly, but I have a faint, indistinct memory of a kiss of fire upon my forehead of seeing your baby face covered with passionato caresses, and ol being roused from tho darkness of my long f.iint by tho report of a pistol. Your father was dead, llanne, do not quito hate me. I have loved you, sulferod for yon, lived in your life. If my crime was great, tho punishment of my life long remorso is torriblo ! " I clasped her bowed Cgnro in my arms, nnd pressed my lips again and again to her flushed brow shuddering the vt hilo at tho though! that as torribb h id been mine, but for the story and its warning. Oh, how much dearer my heart acknowledged her in tho utter hopelessness of her fearful sorrow, thnn she had ever been, in what I had supposed, tho cold perfectness of character. , Thcro was a quick ring nt tho door. My mother gathered about hqr tho heavy folds of her shawl, and, then turning on me tho appealing glanco of her tearful eyes, passed from the room, even ns Hunt Hennesly entered. llo knelt at my feet ; whispered pleadingly of tho future his care should make so bright, and involuntarily I shuddered, is I drew my hand from bis clasp. " Mr. Hennesly," I said in a low, earnest tone, " I have heard that to-night which has uiado tho distinction of this world seem of little moment in contrast with a calm, true love which shall last for eternity. I do not so lovo you. I cannot be your ifo ! " My words left no room for hope, and he went out silently into tho storm. I never looked upon his faco again. Before the eve-1 ning wus over, Morgan Philips also sought my presence, and his errand was to say faro-well.'
