THE MERCHANT, SEPTEMB:ER 12, 1873. !POETRY. Two Wishes. JJY M.AltY E. A'l"K:!NSO~. A New English Iron-Clad.

Yea, ltJt this lifo of 1uinc Be like that star !" tains the follo\ving :-" A conshlerable amount of speculaLion, 'vhich is not confin· cd to nav&l circles olonP-, exists at present, with regard to the·ne\v iron-clad,Inrlexible. Mr. Ooschen l~tcly vouchsafed some scraps of information concerning her, in his reply to Lord lI. Lennox, and some furth6r particulars may be gleaned fron1 a rl:!cent letter from Mr. Recd to a contemporary, but no trust\yorthy account of ~he general features of her design has yet been published, We believe that the following description of the latest proposed addition to the Royal Navy ·will be found to be correct in all es- sential points:"The Inflexible will be a seu-goir1 g turret vessel, of high freeboard,vi7ith t\vo h~vi· ly-aTrr1oured turrets, each ca1rying a couplo of the most powel'ful guns that c1111 be <lea signed and mannf'acturell.

In order to obtain equally good llttacking po\\'er, right ahead and astern, a.s on the beam-a desiderattun of the utn1ost importance, since most authorities are agreed tl1at f'uture naval actions, at ·u.Il events, between single ships, \Vill to a large extent be fought ?.feOl.llwhile the other lay Low on the grass, "°,.atching the water pla.y .L11J ri11: ~ i.1; g [n.<is.

So the one is striving Tn a noble stl'ifc, Al1d the other is living ernl on-the turrets are echeloned, that is to say, instead of having their centres in the rniddle line of the ship, one is put to port, and the other to seaboard of it.

This gift belonged to Dr. H:tmilton to a practicaUy unlilnited tixtent. Ho could a1ways bring a nev; note frotn an old string. " Sitting in his tent_ door 1 r~nd on tho watch for strangers, Abraham ~a\\' thr::ie o.pproaching. !Io like<l the look of them. . . · He detained them one by one, and det?med liimself a h!tIJPY inan so Ions- a8 they sa.te beneath the tree, for the glory of Geri ,.,..as lU'OUnd his guests. . And so with Bible truths. Sit you liko Abraba.m, watchful, in your closet a.nd in the an.nctuary, looking out for Bibl'3 truths, Have a heart h~i;pitable to \Vha.tever co1neS! fro1n God, a.nrl no fear but" glorious truths will come- truths whose a.rriva.l ·will blaze with light from he~n·en, lUJ.d whose entrance into the hon1estead of your convictions \\'i!! create a Lolida.y ; truths whose comi11 g '"ill n1a.ke yont· life n101·e hal'PY, and ·your lot illustrious to yourself. . Yes, my friend ; the Bible abounds in stately u.nd self-commen ding truths." To v.iome these truths come in their tnere dogmat!c fnrm; "but h~ppy is th· m;:1.n to "'·b-om they come iu their angelic i'Mb, imperia.l in faith's purple, and ro..diant in emit· ted splendour." Happy is the man who, "star· ting from the tent-door," reverently i;::reets them and const1"),'it1s them to turn in. "And happiest of all who, blessed with such God-likfJ visitor.;::, detains them as perpetual reeidents ; a.nd furnishing for them his intellect's most spaci· ous chamber, aud hi:; fancy'8 loftiest bower, and biddiri.g o.11 his love, and faih'h, n.nd voriera.tion wait on them and serve them, finds his being exalted i.uto the ho1no of high conviction, the palace of G·od'a own truth." A perception of .';;imilitudes aud anaJ.ogieH so nimble and dex:· trons as this has a freahing touch for every theme that iB handled. The driest award, grey o.nd a-rid '\v1th often trending, glistens under such trcntment as with dewdrops .
