A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT.—

A naval officer being at sea in a dreadful storm, his wife was sitting in the cabin near him, and filled with alarm for the safety of the vessel, was so surprised at his serenity and composure that she cried out:
“My dear, are you not afraid? How is it possible you can be so calm in such a storm?”
He rose from his chair, dashed it to the deck, drew his sword, and pointing it at the breast of his wife, exclaimed: “Are you not afraid?”
She immediately answered, “No.”
“Why?” said the officer.
“Because,” rejoined the wife, “I know this sword is in the hands of my husband, and he loves me too well to hurt me.”
“Then,” said he, “I know in whom I believe, and that he who holds the wind in his fist, and the waters in the hollow of his hand, is my Father.”
