WHITTIER A sound of tumult troubles all the air, Like the low thunders of a sultry sky, Far.rolling ere the downright lightnings glare: The hills blaze 'red with warnings; foes draw nigh Treading the dark with challenge and reply. Behold the burden of the prophet's vision— The gathering hosts—the Valley of Decision, Dusk with the*wings of eagles wheeling o'er. Day of the Lord, of darkness and not light! It breaks in thunder and the whirlwind's roar! Even so, Father! Let thy will be done— Turn and o'erturn, end what thou hest begun In judgment or in mercy; as for me, If but the least and frailest, let me be Evermore numbered with the truly free Who find thy service perfect liberty! I fain would thank Thee that my mortal life Has reached the hour (albeit through care and pain) When Good and Evil, as for final strife, Close dim and vast on Armageddon's plain; And Michael and his angels once again Drive howling back the spirits of the night. 01 for the faith to read the signs aright, And, from the angle of thy perfect sight See Troth's white banner floating on before; And the good cause, despite Of venal friends, And base expedients, move to noble ends; See Peace with Freedom make to Time amends, And, through its cloud of dust, the threshing floor, Flailed by the thunder heaped with chaffiess grain! For the Ankerlean Presbyterian BERTIE LESTER'S TEMPTATION. BY MATTA PeIYTIIE "Re keeps Ms road well who gets rid of had com pany" One bright moon-light night, after little Bertie Lester had folded his hands and repeated his evening prayer, "Now I lay me down to sleep," &0., he begged the privilege of sitting upon my lap. As I twined his dark lustrous hair around my finger, he said thoughtfully, "Oh, auntie, do tell me of my dear papa and mamma!" I then repeated to him the same old tale, which never diminished in interest, to the little fellow. I told him of his father's noble, generous heart. How he had conquered many difficulties, but was unable to overcome death; that dark-winged spi rit who stands ever ready to strike the blow at our Master's bidding. Of her—the devoted bride —who like the broken flower, was insensible to sunlight or storm; how her lip quivered as she gazed upon the helpless one, which lay upon her knee; how the tears would then start into her soft, blue eyes, and with a deep sigh, she would clasp the unconscious child to her heart, and exclaim, "for him /must live!" "But auntie, she did • die, and leave Bertie alone ?" said the little motherless boy. "Yes, dear Bertie, God saw fit to take her to himself, before she bad seen one year pass over your head;" was my reply. " Why did God do so, auntie?" repeated the child with a troubled glance. "Our heavenly Father does many things which we cannot comprehend. Yet lam certain it was for the best." "Yet, dear auntie, it does not seem right," con tinued little Bertie. "It may not, my boy, but you must be thank ful that he has given you such kind grand parents." "And such a kind auntie!" interrupted the dear boy. I smiled at his words of love, and placing him in' his little bdd, I left him. Bertie's mother was a very dear sister. Her death rendered the when very near and dear to us. We daily sought to fill Bertie's mind with incidents in his mother's life, and with her dying words. Bertie Lester was an impulsive boy. He was naturally proud at heart, and head-strong, with a way and will of his own. Love must be his ruler; but sometimes that would have no effect. But there was always one talisman that would ne ver fail to soften his heart in times of rebellion; this was his reverence for his departed mother. I remember well one bright morning , when Bertie's grandmother fastened his cap under his chin and bade him start for school. With a loving kiss he left her, determined to obey. But before be reached the school-house, he met several boys of his own age, who urged him to go with them to a neighboring pond and fish for the speckled tribe. "No, Charlie. I am upon my way to school, and I must not loiter, but I will go afterwards, if grandpa will consent," said Bertie. "Pshaw! come now, Bertie! for you can't catch fish after school; we will have lots of fun. Come on!" continued Charlie. Bertie still refused, un til the rough voice of Sam Peet exclaimed, "You are a coward! Before I'd be tied to any one's apron strings!" Sarcasm is a bitter draught for any one. But our Bertie was always stung to the quick by ridi cule, and instead of avoiding the rude and unkind boys, he yielded out of fear. He was too proud to show his dependence upon his aged grandpa rents, and off he Went with his unprincipled com panions. At first they had a merry time, but when noon approached, they grew hungry, and it was proposed by one to climb the fence near by, and take some of the water melons that lay upon . the ground. Lots were cast as to who should commit the depredation—poor Bertie was doomed to be the unfortunate one. "You are going to play the coward again, I see!" said Sam, in a tantalizing tone, "you would like to sneak out of it I presume!" Angry emotions commenced to swell in Bertie's heart. But in his pride he choked them back, and boldly said, "I am no coward!" And hastenin g to the fence he sprang upon it. But he hesitate d a moment before jump ing into the field. He looked back at the boys, "Go on, you baby!" cried Sam. But instead of obeying the rude boy, he leaped from the fence, find came towards his companions, amidst their cries of "coward!" tze. Advancing in front of the boys, Bertie assumed a calm countenance, but presently the tears com menced to trickle down his cheeks, and in a choked voice, he.said, "Sam, I never stole, and what is more, I never will. I tell you, 1 won't do it." " I knew you never did, for you didn't dare to! Afraid of your grandfather, eh ?" replied Sam, sneeringty. "No, Sani,:f am not, but boys as sure as I stand here, something dreadful would happen to me if I stepped into that field." " Fudge! All baby talk! If we could go there, you certainly could." "But, Sam, you all have mothers at home?" inquired Bertie. "Yes, but what has that got to do about our going into the field ?" "A good deal," replied the orphan, firmly. "My mother lies in this church-yard by the side of the field of water melons, and I know if she could speak, she would be too grieved even to chide me. I can almost fancy that I see her sad looks." . 4 1 Nonsense! How could she know if you took them?" said Sam. But Bertie did not answer him, and when the boys started for the field, he flew homeward. He was sadly out of breath when he entered my room. Throwing down his hat, he laid his head upon my lap, and commenced to weep. I spoke not, for I I knew that he was excited, and I waited for his words which I knew would soon come. I was not wrong, for in a few minutes he said, "Auntie, do yoU think God knows every thing that takes place, no matter bow little?" ' "Yes, dear child, not a thing has taken place since the creation of this beautiful world, but he has knowledge of." " But do you really believe that he notices that which, a little boy does?" "Yea, lam certain. But why do you ask me, dear Bertie.?" I saw that the boy was too proud to reveal his secret at that time, so I laid by my sewing and took him upon my knee. For a time we conversed upon other subjects. Presently, with a broken voice, be told me of his temptations, and how he overcame that of stealing. "0, auntie, dear! I am so glad that I got away from those bop!" "So am I, and you should be very thankful, Bettie, dear, that God gave you strength to over come and resist their cowardly taunts." "How grieved grandma will be, when she knows that. I've been truant again!" exclaimed Bertie, sorrowfully. "Yes, she will be; but, my dear boy, shall I give you some advice, and show you how you can lessen her pain?" "Yes, ma'am," replied the boy, looking bright again. " If I were in your place, I should go to grand ma and show her that you are sorry, and promise amendment for the future." "Oh, I hate to tell any one but you, dear auntie!" said Bertie. " Why, Bertie! Can you not confide in your dear grandma? Only think what she does for you and what she is now doing for her little grandson! Do you not love her ?" I inquired. "Love her! I guess I do, and that is the rea son that I dislike to tell her of my being so tru ant," replied Bertie. Our conversation was interrupted by the jingle of grandma's little tea bell. After kissing the chubby face of my little nephew, we both started for the dining room. After tea, Bertie followed his grandma into her room and related to her the incidents of the day. It is needless to say that Bertie was quickly forgiven. * * Bertie's favorite hour had come; he enjoyed the privilege of sitting upon his grandfather's knee and receiving the instruction which fell from his thin lips. The little boy litted his loving eyes to the sweet, earnest face which gazed upon him so mournfully. Bertie saw, with wonder, that the aged man's bosom shook, that his lips trembled, as he strove to speak ; Bertie in much thoughtful ness, bowed his head. His childish heart was stirred, and his words of mirth were hushed. With a sweet smile, he gently placed his lips upon. the aged cheek, saying, "Grandpa, please don't cry!" The old man raised his han and placed the head of the orphan upon his broad breast. "Sad it is, my son, and yet a joy to me to know that I am almost ready for my heavenly home. Bertie, dear, will you not strife, when I . am gone, to live a useful life, and prove a great comfort to your dear grandmother?' Yes, sir, I will try. But, dear grandpa, you will not die for many years hence," replied Ber tie, cheerfully. The old man's eye was instantly filled with a strange and wondrous light. "Ah, Bertie, my course will soon be finished, and I would that I could make an everlasting impression upon your young heart." " Dear grandpa, I never could forget, if I should live to your age, the instructions which you have given me," said Bertie, gratefully. "1 hope not, my dear boy; you must be strong and resist all evil. Keep away from corrupt com panions. Bertie, you will have many friends in heaven, and dear boy, if I should never live to speak again, remember to live and walk with God. And may he send his Holy Spirit to your heart, giving you faith to walk in the steps of the right eous man made perfect." "I will try to follow your advice, dear grand pa," replied Bertie, rising to bid his grandfather good night. That night a sudden change took place in Ber tie's home. His aged grandfather had fallen asleep in Jesus, as quietly as a babe is hushed•to rest upon its mother's breast. It was a severe blow to all, so much so that Bertie could not real ize it. It seemed as if the old arm chair must contain the aged form oned more. But the reali ty of this affliction became every day more appa rent. After old . Mr. Lester's death, Bertie's whole life appeared to be changed from this period. I would that I could tell you, dear reader, what a blessing this orphan boy proved to be. His whole attention was directed to his aged grandpa rent. He watched her feeble steps as tbey ad vanced nearer and nearer to the grave. It was Bertie who read her comforting words in her hour of trial, and he is now rendering praise to God by his unceasing efforts, diffusing the Holy Bible throughout the heathen world. Rochester, May 18th, 1861. istillarteisus. THE IMPORTANCE OF REGULARITY. There is a great temptation, at such a time of great excitement, to abate the ordinary diligence of the business man, the housekeeper. the student, and the Christian; wholesome and wise arrange ments looking to the regular discharge of ditty from hour to hour, habits of study and prayer, and the like, are in danger of falling into disuse. The following timely remarks on this subject, intro ducing the memorable experience of Dr. Kane in the Arctic expedition, are quoted from the New York Methodist: Nothing so supports our nature in making ex traordinary efforts, or in enduring sacrifices, as a high tone of moral feeling. When Dr. Kane was locked up among the icebergs of the Arctic Circle, with the prospect of close imprisonment for months, with his men enfeebled by disease and privations, and when aU but eight of his company bad left him to search for a way of escape, be sustained the drooping spirits of the handful who clung to him, and kept up their energies, by systematic performance of duty and moral discipline: "It is," he observes, "the experience of every man who has either combated difficulties himself, or attempted to guide others through them, that the controlling law shall be systematic action. No thing depresses and demoralizes so much as a sur render of the approved and habitual forms of 4fi. I resolved that everything should go on as it had done. The arrangement of hours, the distribution and details of duty, the religious exercises, the ce remonials of the table the fires, the lights, the watch, the labors of the observatory, and the no& tation of the tides and the sky—nothing shoold be intermitted that had contributed to make hp the day." SINGING AND GIVING .—Old Aunt Dinah was a shouting coldred saint, who would sing at the top of list 'Voice and 'cry GlorY ! abov‘all the rat. It was common ,at the ,missionary prayer meetings of the colored, people, to take up a collection while singing the hymn, "Ply ahined, thou mighty Gospel,"! in,the.midst of which Aunt Dinah always threw her head back, shut up her eyes and sang away lnstily till the plate had gone by. The Sable lector observed her habit, and one night stopped when he came to her, and said bluntly, " Look a 'hear,Aunt Dinah! you needn't be - singing 'Fly abroad,, thou mighty Gospel,' if you doesn't give twain' to make it fly." THE STORY OF A REFUGEE. FROM THE WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE OF THE WORLD. Washington, May sth. I have obtained the data of the following story from a Virginia gentleman, who - has been compelled we retire at short notice" from a large estate Mlie Old Dominion, and to submit to its confis-' cation on account of supposed' sympathy , with the Union party. He is a gentleman of high official position under the government, and I regret that prudence and his own request require me to sup,- press his name, which by a long history of faithful and unswerving devotion to the Union, has become familiar at the North. To this very circumstance be probably owes his present afflictions, the detail of which in itself may furnish , material for an` in- teresting dicta, at some fUture time. The subject of the following—John A. Ford was an intimate friend of the gentleman just re ferred to, and, an old soldierin the Mexican war. On his return he settled and married in Petersburg, Va., engaging in the trade of a bookseller and sta tioner. By prudence, industry and integrity, he had made himself proprietor of a thriving little business, and had won a circle of warm friends. His stock two weeks ago was valued at $1.040. Hi is now in Washington, with very little hope Vtrob#tttiatt and u attote of ever being , able to recover any of his property, and has very narrowly escaped with his life as I shall show. The news of the battle of Baltimore, two weeks ago, Friday, arrived in Petersburg the same even ing. The following morning, Mr. Ford, in cot versatiou with a friend, casually made the remark that had he been the Massachusetts Regiment, instead of shooting fourteen or fifteen of the mob who assaulted the troops so brutally, be would, have shot fourteen or fifteen hundred of them. He thought nothing more of the circumstance until just as evening was approaching, and he was quietly passing to his home from the business of the day, when he was stopped in the street by several gen tlemen who announced themselves as a vigilance committee, appointed to examine him as to his po litical sentiments: Conscious ,of no disloySlty to the state or to his country, be cheerfully consent ed to the examination, and told them to proceed. The remembrance of the remark he had made had quite escaped his mind at the time. A prowd im mediately began to collect about him, and demon strations of an insulting nature were commenced as the examination proceeded. "D—d aboli tionist!" "Hang him r "Hang him 1" "I'll get a rope!" &c., &c., cried a number of the spectators, and the crowd rapidly increased, until hundreds surrounded him and the committee. After some conversation, a test question was de cided upon by his interrogators, nod was put to him by the chairman of the commit*. Chairman: "If our slaves should rise against their masters in this community, should you fight with the slaves or with their masters?" Mr. Ford: "Gentlemen, I am surprised at your question. lam a loyal and true-hearted citizen of Petersburg and this state. I have lived with you several years, and all I have qi,hope to be is. with = you,. and . should a slave insurrection °emir here, you will find me among the foremost in de-' fending you and the citizens of Petersburg against them." - The answer. was satisfactory to the committee, and the chairman, turning to the throng, an nouneed it as their conviction that Mr. Ford entertained no sentiments that were treasonable or disloyal. At _this moment cries of "He's a Black-Republican!" ".1)-0 his Black-Republi can soul "To h—l with him !" "Hang him !" "Hang him I" &c.,= rose in various quarters, and a scene` ofgreat confusion followed, with indica tions that the enraged mob would execute their threats, despite the conclusion announced by,the committee. As it partially ceased one, of the spectators cried out to Mr. Ford, "Did you say this morning, that you wished that the Massachusetts troops had shot fourteen or fifteen hundred of the citizens of Bal, timore, yesterday?" This Mr. F. could not deny, and he disregarded the question. The fury of the populade at his hesitancy knew no bounds, and yells, and screams, and threats of the most - profane'_ and 'diabolical, character, were heaped upon him, and followed by a rush of a number of the most daring to rescue him` from the hands of the committee who still, stood next him. A number of his friends near by, and among them two or three members of the Masonic Lodge, to which he belonged in Petersburg, then pressed toward him, and succeeded, in the darkness which had come on during the examination, in, pulling him .along the street, and out of the reach"of the rush into a store. Through the store he was urged into an alley way in the rear, while the crowd in the' street who had lost track ,of him were clamorouslY in search. A friend and 'Maso nic brother accompanied him rapidly through the alley and conducted him to the only place of safety which probably could have concealed him—a tomb in bis family burying ground! Taking the key of the vault hastily from his pocket he opened it, urged Mr, Ford in among, the coffins, locked the door upon him and quickly disappeared. That night and the following day every place and by place in the town was ransacked in the,eager search of the mob, for the victim who had so ter ribly and so narrowly escaped their eh:itches. They finally concluded that he had been spirited away, and relaxed their vigilance. Meantime Mr. Ford remained, undisturbed, with darkness and the dead. There were several bodies deposited there—far less feared, we pre sume, by him than the living. History can surely point to, few more thrilling incidents than this living entombment. At 3 o'clock, the following Monday morning, the train was to leave for Richmond. At an ear lier hour Mr. Ford's protector and friend, like Belshazzar of old at the mouth of the lion's den for righteous Daniel; stood to deliver the subject of this sketch from the charnel house, where, for two nights 'and" a day, which he will probably never forget, he had fasted with the• dead. He was faint and weak from exhaustion, but the emergency lent him strength. While his friend went for his daughter, a charming little girl, some seven years of age, (Mr. Ford's wife :was, and is still on a visit in South Carolina,) Mr. F. wended his way cautiously and alone to the' depot. Here they met again, and when the train rolled out of the station on its way north, Mr. F. sat on one of the car seats, with his child wrapped closely in his arms. Arriving at Richmond, he attempted to procure a ticket, but was told that_no passen ger could go out for the North unless exhibiting a pass from Gov. Letcher. With many mis givings' Mr. F. (it was still early in the morning) wended his way to the executive mansion. He represented to the Governor that his business called him out of the State, and desired creden tials which would enable him to continue his jour ney. Mr. Letcher asked no questions, but promptly made out the papers and handed them to him. In due time he arrived with his little daughter in this city. it will be remembered that we stated that Mr. Ford was enoaged in the Mexican war. Soon after arrivinghere he called, in company With the gentleman to whom I have alluded, upon Secre tary Cameron and solicited a lieutenancy in: ti the U. S. service. Mr. Cameron examined his cre dentials, listened to the story .with deepest inte rest„ and -when Mr. ;Ford had-concluded said, 4 'No, my noble, sir, a, lieutenancy is not enough for you; wait a few days until the arrangements can be . Made and then you shall receive a more honorable appointment.'.' Yesterday afternoon Mr.F. receited notice from Secretary Cameron that he would probably, be ap pointed a captain in the standing army now being mustered into service. Salt is the romantic history -of one of the Vir ginia refugees. The number is legion who fled for their lives to this city and the North since the. battle of Baltimore. They make no parade here' of their sorrows and trials, but seem to submit to the tyranny which has robbed them of their pro perty and , threatened their lives, with a resignation and a subdued air that appeals with thrilling power to the sympathy of the people. They are, most of them, among the finest families of the state, and doomed to exile by an overpowering and rabid mob, with the flag of secession flaunting over their unhallowed deeds. The houses of these refugees have been broken open by the infatuated and blood-thirsty soldipry in the search instituted by vigilance committees for arms and proofs of "Union" sentiment. Their costly furniture has been violated and destroyed, and their tenants driven from their estates. ' C. Pres.- The gentleman from whom Lhave this informa tion was the victim of suspicion simply because he was a subscriber to a northern paper. He was ab sent from home at the time the mob saw fit, to scorch his residence and estate. When he re turned, the "Mountain Rangers" and the " Black Horse Company" (who by the way, are "pitted" against the New York Seventh Regiment as the finest soldiers of the Old Dominion,) had left sad evidence of their visit. The doors had been broken in and battered down, the furniture left in ruins, paintings and mirrors pierced and broken with bayonets, and fragments of them scattered about the floors: beds run through with bayonets and swords, and every article of luxury or ornament sought out and defaced or ruined with a mali cious recklessness. The houses of his tenants, some fourteen , in -number, had bee,n :visited and pillaged by squads of soldiers, and in one instance a poor woman, who, frightened at their approach had bolted the doormpon themovas bayoneted by the gallant bond. Such is the story of many others here, and such is the conduct of the troops wbo are now rallying under the banner of the "Southern Confederacy," arid threatening to lay waste and in ashes this city. The cruelty and re-' pine of the Vandals is surely around us. EDUCATIONAL. THE WE! ACADEMY. AT WEST CHESTER, PENNA., WILL COMMENCE THE SECOND TERM ON THE FIRST OF MAY NEST.

Wonms are a prolific source of sickness in children. They are seldom free from them, and by 'their irritation all other diseases are aggravated. Convulsions, as melt Ifs Si. Vitus' Dance, have been superinduced by them, and death has resulted in extreme cases. Whenever the syMptoms are observed, such as disturbed sleep, grinding of the teeth, itching of the nose, weakness of the bowels, slow fever, variable appetite and fetid breath, .TAYNE'S TONIC: VERMIFUGE should be resorted to without , delay. It is entirely harmless, is readily taken by children, effectually de stroys worms, and by its tonic action invigorates the whole system. It is prepared only by Da. D. JAYNE & Sort, 242 Chestnut St., Philadelphia. COUGHS, COLDS, CONSUMPTION, Asthma, Bronchitis, &o. JAYNE'i EXPECTORANT • been for thirty years the Standard Remedy. will be admitted that no better evidence of the great• •rrative powers of this EXPECTORANT can be offered Man the grateful testimony of those who have. been-re stored to health by its' use, and the wide-spread popu larity which, for so long a period, it. has maintained in the face of all competition, and which has created a con stantly increased demand for it in all.partS of the world. .As far as possible, thii evidence is laid before the public from time to time, until the most skeptical' will ae knowledge that for all pulmonary complain% it is truly an invaluable remedy. RECENT COUGHS AND COLDS, PLEURITIC PAINS, Ste., are quickly and effectually cured by its dia.:- phoretic, soothing and expectorant power. ASTHMA. it always cures. It overcomes the spasmo dic contraction of the air vessels, and by produCing free expectoration, at once removes all difficulty of breathing. BRONCHITIS readily yields to the ExpectOrant. It subdues the inflammation which extends through the wind tubes, produces free•expectoration, and suppresses •at once the cough and pain. CONSUMPTION.—For this' insidious and fatal" disease, no remedy on earth has ever been found so 'effectual. It subdues the innammation,—relieves the cough and pain,—removes the difficulty of breathing and produces an easy expectoration, whereby all irritating and ob structing matters are removed from the lungs. WHOOPING COUGH is promptly relieved by this Ex pectorant. It shortens the duration of the disease one half, and greatly mitigates the suffering of the patient. In all PULMONARY COMPLAINTS, in CROUP, PLEURISY, Ecc., it will be found to be prompt, safe, pleasant and reliable, and may be especially commended to MINISTERS, TEACHERS and Success, for the relief of Hoarseness, and for stren[;thening the organs of the voice.
