THE CAPTAIN'S DEATH-BED.

The Captain lay on his dying bed,
Whilst friends were weeping round him;
His spirit loosing from the cords,

Which to this earth had bound him.

He had passed through many dangers,
On the stormy sea of life;
With his vessel well nigh ship-wrecked,
By the winds, and waves in strife.

But his voyage now was ending,
With a calm, unbroken sea;
And "Land a-head" he loudly cried,
The land where the soul is free.

Where pain and grief are all unknown-
The haven was full in view.

The landing-place on Heavn's bright shore,
For those to their Saviour true;"

Again they heard his dying voice,
Although it was feebler grown,

"I'm rounding the Cape,"-his coming bliss
By his eye's bright glance was shown.

His friends though mourning loss, rejoiced
That the storms of life were past;
His bark, with clear unclouded sky,
Had entered the port at last.

"Let go the anchor,"-in joyous tones
His last command was given;
His soul set free from earthly cares,
Triumphantly entered Heaven.

TIGER HUNT.

FROM what is recorded in the Old Testament respecting King David's son, Solomon, we are inclined to think that the young prince was a student of natural history; hence we read that "he spake of beasts and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes." But in his day the advantages for acquiring general information on these topics were not so great and numerous as are our opportunities for so doing, for we are surrounded with teachers on almost every subject of interest and importance. Travellers and visitors to foreign regions and climates are often returning to our native shores bringing their sheaves of information respecting men, mountains, seas, earth, beasts, &c.; and the more knowledge we possess on these matters the more powerfully are our minds impressed with the truths implied in the lines of the blind poet, who flourished from the years 1608-1674.

"These are thy glorious works, Parent of good,
Almighty, Thine this universal frame,

Thus wondrous fair. Thyself how wondrous then
Unspeakable. Who sittest above the heavens,
To us invisible, or dimly seen

In these thy lower works; but these declare

Thy goodness beyond thought, and power divine."

In the history of wild beasts that roam the forest, the plain, and the desert, the hand of God may be seen by the pious student whose time is partly devoted to the study of

nature.

The Tiger, as shown in the engraving at the head of this article, is not so common an animal as many other wild creatures inhabiting woods, forests, &c., in distant countries, and happily as well as providentially it is for the human family that such is the case, for although this creature is, perhaps, in appearance the most beautiful of all four-footed animals, yet none is more cruel or blood-thirsty.
