SONNET. 
Storm had hern on the hills. The day had worn 
As if a sl«'C|) upon the hours hail crept; 
An I the lark clouds that iMthcrc 1 at the morn 
In d ill. ini penetrable muss-cs slept, 
An I the wet eaves hung droopingty. and all 
Was like the mournful aspect of a pall. 
Suddenly on the hofi.'.on’s e lire. a blue 
And delicate line as of a pencil, lay, 
The darkne-s rnno>ed silently away. 
And with the splen lor of a God, broke through 
The perfect glory ol departing day:

LET BALLAST AND RIGGING BALANCE. 
'I'nii enfi »ns mariner ventures not upon 
the ircachetotis deep, until his ship Inis 
baiUist pi op, >i lionet! to its rigging, that 
the out* may balance against the other, and 
keep !tis ve>sel true ami sterttiy when winds 
H.-rcely rage. anti tin* sea is tempest tost.— 
At stielt an hour the wisdom of his course 
and of our motto is plainly manifest. 
When the blue waters slumber tranquil¬ 
ly beneath a sunny sky, no danger is ap¬ 
prehended, and i be ship glides cheerily over 
the mirrored surface, while the mariner 
passes the lime idly away amid the uproar 
of lale and sting. But such securit) oft 
proves fatal. Dark clouds appear in tin* 
horizon. Night shuts down her curtain 
now pitchy wiih blackness. Lurid tlane-s 
dart across the heavens. The wind shrieks 
and a horiid din rumbles along the sky.— 
The once placid waters roll in angry billows 
and the little ship unequal for the coolest 
is overwhelmed with all on board. 1 lie 
storm sweeps by anti tin* sea is again calm, 
but no monument marks where sank the 
unballasted ship. 
It is even so in the voyage of life. Too 
iiiiiiy are prone to make a great show ol 
rigging. Such the casual observer mat 
think able to outstrip even the wind, but 
the veteran shakes his head and sighs “ loo 
htlle ballast for tin* figging.” Yet, joyous 
and happy, away they go tube laid by the 
tirst squall on their beam’s end, when, too 
late, they wish they had heeded the ballast. 
In tin* good old steady times,our fatheis 
carried ballast proportionate to their rig¬ 
ging, and thus were enabled to live con¬ 
tented and at last enu-r the harbor of sue 
cess with sails set and colors flying. Bui 
in ibis steam driving age we are too desi- 
)ous of outstripping the crowd, and there¬ 
fore press on more canvass than our frail 
craft will bear. The consequence, too often 
is the shipwreck of all hope. We find 
these unthoughtful cruisers in every ein- 
plo\mi*nt of life, from him who sways Ids 
golden sceptre “on change,” down even to 
the beggar clothed in rags. All pursue 
some scheme of ambition, some sun-gilded 
bubble of hope. They rush impetuously 
forward, heedless alike of the unstable ele¬ 
ment, and the gale that is sweeping toward 
the rocks of destruction. The tradesman, 
or mechanic, or farmer who is making 
steady, though it may be, slow progress, 
dreams a golden dream. Forthwith an 
extra amount of canvass is unfurled; but 
the moment there comes an adverse wind, 
lie liuds lus hopes and himself wrecked and 
sinking into the depths of despair. 
'l'liestripling goes forth from the shelter¬ 
ed roadstead of youth upon the open sea 
of life, influenced by the same blind infat¬ 
uation. Gentle zephyrs waft him awhile 
over the sparkling waters, dancing in the 
wake of his vessel to the sweet lyric music 
of their own voice. He fears no ill where 
all seems to him sunshine and gladness.— 
Suddenly in the midst of his joy his vessel 
is struck by the blast, she careens and goes 
down with the crew and cargo. It be¬ 
hooves us, then, above all things, that we 
seek to have our vessels rightly ballasted, 
and not tilled with that chaff of vain pom¬ 
posity that creates a false self-security.— 
And then, there is need that we get an 
insurance in the office of common sense — 
whose charter is granted by the senate ot 
Wisdom—have Virtue at the helm and 
Truth for our pilot Then we may safely 
pass the quicksands of pride and folly. 
But the mind rightly cultivated and 
adorned beautifies the work of God in man. 
and gives to its possessor that ballast so 
necessary for those who voyage on the 
tempestuous sea of human life. 
'i wise; for in gaining wisdom you also 
t eminence from which no shaft of 
,usy and malice can hurl you.
