He died an infant, but he can say with Paul, in prisons oft, in stripes more abundant, in tribulations, in persecutions, in perils by sea and land, in perils among robbers, and among false brethren, and in travels more abundant,'
His remarkable life of little more than five years, has won him thousands of friends, and acquaintances, both in Europe and America in whose memory he long will live. While his faith, and his sufferings for Christ's sake and the Gospel's will be had as a sweet memorial through all succeeding ages.
A severe shock of an Earthquake was felt at Jaipoor, Upper Assam, on the 17th June last. It did no damage, but excited great alarm.
This is the third shock felt in that district since January last.
A RELIC OF THE PEGASUS-The Journal des Debats states, that a few days since, a bottle was found on the coast of Holland, containing a slip of paper, on which was written, "Pegasus Steamer, to Fern Islands, night of Wednesday, July 19, 1843. On board, fifty-five persons: vessel must go down, and no Grace Darling." [In giving the last two words, they translate the first, (grace) "safety" (salut!) not aware that they referred to the intrepid girl now unhappily defunct.]
Singular Phenomenon.-At the period of high water, on Monday evening last, the tide in Blennerville Bay, Tralee, ebbed and flowed a few feet five times within an hour.

LOVE NEVER SLEEPS.
"Love never sleeps!" The mother's eye
Bends o'er her dying infant's bed;
And as she marks the moments fly,
While death creeps on with noiseless tread,
Faint and distressed; she sits and weeps
With beating heart! "Love never sleeps!"
Yet e'en that sad and fragile form
Forgets the tumult of her breast;
Despite the horrors of the storm,
O'er burdened nature sinks to rest;
But o'er them both ANOTHER keeps
His midnight watch-"Love never sleeps!"
Around-above-the angel bands
Stoop o'er the care worn sons of men;
With pitying eyes and eager hands,
They raise the soul to hope again;
Free as the air, then pity weeps
The storm of time! "Love never sleeps!"
And round-beneath-and over all,
O'er men and angels, earth and heaven,
A higher bends! The slightest call
Is answered-and relief is given
In hours of Wo, when sorrow steeps
The heart in pain-"He never sleeps."
Oh, God of love, Our eyes to thee,
Tired of the world's false radience [radiance], turn;
And as we view thy purity,
We feel our hearts within us burn;
Convinced that in the lowest deeps
Of human ill, "Love never sleeps!"
