THE LIFE-BOAT HOUSE . By T . J . SWAIX . Shining boacon I storm-tost sailors Seek thy light to guide their way , — Look for thoo with straining vision , Almost blinded by tho spray . Rough but kindly people tend thee

, Inmates of that light-houso drear ; Often they bofriond tho sailor AVhon no other aid is near . Sad their life , with sighing billows Dashing round their sea-girt homo , Sometimes presaging the tempest , AVhich 'erelong is sure to como .

Yet their deeds are often noblo—Soo , how valiantly thoy row T ' wards yon sinking shipwrock ' d vessel , Fear they hardly soom to know . Joy ! thoir mission is accomplished ; They have sav'd tho suff ' ring crew ; God thoir fragile boat hath guided ,

And they fool His blessing too . No ' or I see tho lonely lighthouse , But my pray'rs in pity plead For tho oft heroic inmatos In tho sailors' hour of need . And I feel , whato'or thoir station , JIasons should unite to aid

In the noblo life-boat project , AVhich so long has been dolay'd . God a cheerful giver lovoth ; If wo strive as JIasons should In a duty , so heart-stirring , There ' s a blessing for the good .
