What excitement the purpose hath wrought eyes that when gravest seen playing at thought! The light little figure surprised into•rest, The smiles that will come, so demurely repressed, The long-pausing hand on the paper that lies, The sweet puzzled look in the pretty blue eyes,— 'Tis a beautiful picture of childhood in calm, One cheek swelling soft o'er the white dimpled palm sunk deep in its crimson, and just the clear tip Of an ivory tooth on the full under lip. How the irmooth forehead knits; with her arm round his neck, It were easier far than on paper to speak; We must loop up those ringlets; their rich falling gold Would blot out the story as fast as 'twos told. And she meant to have made it in bed, but it - seems Bkep mailed too soon all her thoughts into dreams; But hush I by that sudden expansion of brow, some fairy familiar has whispered it now. How she labors exactly each letter to sign, Goes over the whole at the end of each line, And lays down the pen to clap hands with delight, When she finds an Idea especially bright. At last the small fingers have crept to an end; No statesman his letter 'twist nations bath penned With more sense of its serious Importance, and few In a spirit so loving, so earnest, and true. She miles at a fent ao unwonted and grand, Draws a very long breath, rubs the cramped little hand; May we read it Oh, yea; my awc►et maiden, maybe One day you will write what one only must we. Is it surely a letter? So secretly lies Uncertainty yet in those beautiful eyes, And the parted lip's coral is deepening In glow, And the eager flush mounts to the forehead of snow. 'Tie informal and slightly discursive, we fear; Not a line without love, hut the love is sincere. Unchanged papa said he would have it depart Like a bright leaf dropped out of her innocent heart. Great news of her garden, her lamb, and her bird, Of Mamma, and of baby's last wonderful word; With an ardent assurance—they neither can play, Nor learn, nor be happy, while he is away. Will he like it 1 Ay, will he! whet letter could stem, Though an angel indited, so charming to hhnl How the ibrtunate poem to honor would rise That should never be read by more critical eyes! Ah, would for poor rhyrmters such favor could be As waits, my fair child, on thy letter and thee! Household Words. TEE EAGLE'S NEST. It was a bright, fresh morning, when two very intimate young friends Philip and Herman, took a long walk into the forest. The birds sang then Just as happily as they are doing now in the great elm before my window; _the apple trees were all in blossom, and the air was full of their fragrance. When the two boys came to a willow sapling they cut off a small branch with which to make a couple of whistles. They had new knives, and it was not over twenty minutes before they were both whistling away as loud as any two birds in the whore forest. When they had gone about a mile into the woods, Philip happened to look up at the top of an old oak tree which stood close beside the path. There was an eagle's nest in it, the very one that Johann Maier had told them he had seen two weeks before. Philip pointed out the nest to Herman, and it was soon deoided that they should both climb the tree and bring down all the eggs it might have in it. soon they were climbing toward the eagle's nest with all their might. Before they reached it, however, Herman remembered what his father had told him abont the sin of robbing bird's nests. "Wait, Philip," said he, "don't you know we are both doing wrong in trying to get to this eagle's nest? My father told me it was a sin, and that God sees every boy when he is engaged in such mischief." "Oh, you are a coward! -What monsensel You are afraid this old tree will break down with you. You are 'very foolish to talk as you do. Nobody sees us, Follow me quickly, for I see that your heart is failing you." Herman thought Philip was a very bold boy, and instead of obeying his conscience he climbed up - after him, The branches of the old oak were wide apart, and the .boys found it pretty hard work to get from one to the next above it. But at last they got to the nest. There were five eggs in it. Philip reached in and took them out. When he bad handed two to Herman he put the remaining three in his own pocket. He then kicked the eagle's nest until it came to pieces and fell down to the ground. After the boys had finished their work they'be gan to descend. But they had not gone far down before the limb, on which they both had stopped a moment to take another look at their eggs, broke and fell with them. It was some time that they lay unconscious on the cold earth. When they came to their senses again it was fcund that Phi lip had sprained his ankle and Herman's arm was broken. By-and-by they started for their homes in the village; but every few minutes they were overcome by pain and bad to sit down by the road side for rest, I can hardly understand how they ever succeeded in getting into town, but they did do it, and without any assistance either. Just before they reached home Philip said: "When my father asks me what is the matter with my foot, I will tell him that I only slipped and hurt it a little. You must do the same thing: I mean that you must tell your father that your arm is only sore a little." I Indeed I will not," replied Berman. "It is bad enough to rob an eagle's nest, without telling a falgYhood about it. I ought to. suffer for my dis obedience, but 1 wont Us for anybody." When Philip got home he was asked by his parents why be limped so much. lie answered that be had slipped into . a ditch while he was out in the forest and had hurt his foot a little. "But," he added, "it don't pain me much now, and by to morrow I shall not feel it at all." But his foot grew worse. On the fifth day it pained him so much that be had to tell the whole truth, thnt he had fallen from a tree and bad sprained his foot. Then the doctor was sent for, and when he came in and looked at Philip's foot he said: "I am sorry, very sorry, I was not sent for'before. I fear it is too late set this boy's foot right again." He was correct, too; for after be had eared the pain he found himself unable to get the ankle-bone in its proper place again. So the sprained ankle remained at least four inches shorter than the other one. Now he has to walls on a crutch, and will be a cripple to the end of his life. When Herman reached his home he was asked what was the matter. He answered: "I have dis obeyed your good instructions, my dear parents. I went into the forest this morning and climbed up an old oak tree to rob an eagle's nest. The limb gave way, and then I fell and broke my arm. Z hope you will forgive me for this offence. I have learned a lesson by sad experience. Depend upon it I will obey you in future," The doctor was seat for, and by his careful atten tion Herman was perfectly restored in seven weeks from the day of his accident. Now I have. two questions to ask. The first is, What good did these boys yet by robbing the eagle's nest? My second question is, After the nest was rubbed end the boys bad fallen, who did right, and who came out best, the boy who told a falsehood, or the one who confessed the truth? TITTLE NORRIS' PRAYER. Ma, what makes the tears in your eyes to night?" said little Morris Stanley to his mother as she was preparing him for bed. "Is it because little sister is so sick ?" "Yea, my son, I am very much grieved abou "You don't think she's going to die, do you, ma?" be inquired anxiously He was a little fel low, scarcely more than three years old, and not only very nervous, but much attached to his little sister, and his mother feared to tell him all her thoughts just be was going to bed, lest he should be unable to sleep, so she answered evasively, "The doctor says if she is to get well, there must be a change for the better before long. "God . can make her well, can't lie, ma ?" "Yes, my dear, if it is best." He sat down quietly in his bath for a moment, and looked into the water as if in deep thought. Then, as his mother lifted him up, he asked; "When I get out of my bath may .I kneel down and ask God to make sister well?" " Yes, my son, -I• should be very glad to have you, if you wish it," but the little night-gown was hardly fastened, when a cry from baby called the mother from Morris , . whom she hastily put in his crib unmindful of her promise to him. Little sister was soon quiet again, and Morris called softly to his mother to remind her of the promise. • Very well, my dear, you can pray ,now if you wish." "And may I get out of * my crib and kneel down ?" ." Yes, if you will wait a moment till I- can come and help you." " Oh don't gabble yourself, ma, to come, I tink I can got out alone,—l'll try!" and suiting the action to the word, he commenced letting himself down, asking at the same time if he might say it separate from his other little prayers,—"skv it all bJ itsqf, and as you do when you pray wid tne His mother bade him say it as he wished, and then as he knelt by his. crib he prayed,—"Oh 'Fader, we come to thee to make little sister well, .—the dear child is so sick her Can't sit up to play wid me,—please make her well, so her can situp and play wid me,—fer Christ's sake,—amen Then he climbed into his . crib again, and as his mother went to cover him up, he exolaimed joy ously, "There, ma, I'se glad now, for I guess heel' get well,"--and nestling down into his pil low was soon fast asleep. Through the long hours of the night the parents watched anxiously over the little sufferer, with their hearts echoing little Morris'., prayer, when just before dawn, there' appeared a decided im provement in the symptoms of the disease. Not long afterwards, the mother heard a rustling in tlio little boy's crib, and looking towards it, saw Morris sitting up looking like the well-known picture of "Little Samuel," and he whispered,— "Is sister better yet.?" , Mrs. Stanley folded her arms about him and answered with a kiss as ex-'. pressive as her words; and the little fellow ex claimed with qniet exultation, "I to't God would make her well when I asked hint last night!" Who shall say that the little fellow's faith was not true faith'? 15r that it is not the want of just such trust as his which hinders the answer to the so-called prayers of older persons? o. in the Child at Home. Father Chanfour is but the wreck of a man. Instead of one of his arms, hangs an empty sleeve; his left leg is made by the turner, and he drags the right along with difficulty; but above these ruins rises a calm and happy face. While looking upon his countenance, radiant with a serene energy—while listening to his voice, the tone of which has the accent of good ness, we see that the soul has remained entire in.the half-destroyed covering. The fortress is a little damaged, as father Chanfotir says, but the garrison is quite hearty. At eight o'clock, A. M:, I found father Chan four at a table lighted by a littlersrooky lamp, without afire, although it is already cold, and making large pasteboard boxes; he was• hum ming a popular song in a low tone. I bad hardly entered the room, when b'e uttered an exclamation of surprise and pleasure. "Eh is it you, neighbor ? Come in, then I did not think you got up so early, so I put a damper on my music; I was afraid of waking you." This thought touched me, and I paid my com pliments on his having liecorne'my neighbor with a warmth which opened hit; heart. "Indeed! you seem to me to have the-look of a good Christian," said he in a voice of soldier like cordiality, and shaking me by the hated; `-aI do not like those people who look on a land ing-place as a frontier line, and treat their neigh hors as if they were Cossacks. When men snuff the same air, and speak the same lingo, they are not meant to turn their backs to each other. Sit down there, neighbor; I don't mean to or der you; only take care of the stool—it has but three legs, and we must put good-will in the place of the "fourth." "It seems that that is a treasure which there is no want of bere,"_Lobservell. " Good-will I" repeated Chanfour, "that is all my mother left.me, and I take it no son has re ceived a better inheritance. Therefore,-they used to call the Mr. Content, in the battened:" "Yon are a sOldier, then ?" "I served in the Third Artillery under - the Republic, and afterwards in the guard, through all the commotions. I was at Jemaripes and at Waterloo; so I was at the baptism and at the burial of our glory, as one may say 1" "And how old were you then,.at Jemappes?" I asked. *" Somewhere about fifteen," said he. ' ' "How came you to think of being a soldier so early ?" "I had an old uncle at Vincennes, whom I went to see from time to time; a Pontenoy ve teran in the same rank as myself, but with abi lity enough to have risen to that of a Marshal. My uncle, whose services would have got him made a prince under the other, had then retired with the mere rank of sub-lieutenant. But you should have seen him in his uniform, his Cross of St. Louis, his itooden leg, his white mous taches, and his noble countenance. You would have said he was a portrait of one of those old heroes in powdered hair which are at Versailles I "Every time I visited him, he said something which remained fixed in my memory. But one day I found him luite grave. "'Jerome,' said he, 'do you know what is going on on the frontier 7' "'No, Lieutenant,' replied L - " 'Wel,' resumed he, 'our country is in dan ger "I did not well understand him, and yet it seemed something to me. "'Perhaps you have never thought what your country means,' continued he, placing his hand on my shoulder; 'lt is all that surrounds you, all that has brought you up and fed you, allthat you have loved I This country that you see, these houses, these trees, those girls that go along there laughing—this is your country ! The laws which protect you the bread which pays for your work, the words you interchange with others, the joy and grief which come to you from the men and things among which you live—this is your country I The little room whete you used to see your mother, the remem brances she has left you, the earth where :she rests—this is your country! You see it, you breathe it, everywhere ! Think to yourself, my son, of your rights and your duties, your affec tions and your wants, your past and your pre sent blessings; write them all under a single name—and that name will be, your country "I was trembling with emotion, and great tears were in my eyes. " ‘Ah, I understand,' cried I; 'it is our home in large; it is that part of the world where God has placed our body and our soul.' "'You are right, Jerome,' continued the old soldier; 'so you comprehend also what we owe it 7' The Methodist ""rrnly,we owe it all that we are; it is a question of love.' "'And of honesty, my son,' concluded be; 'the member of a family who does not 'contri bute his share of work and of•happiness, fails in his duty, and is a bad kinsman; the member'of a partnerebip who does not enrich it with all his might; with all his "courage, and with all his heart, defrauds it of what belongs to it, and is a dishonest man; it is the same with him who enjoys the advantages of having a country, and does not accept the hurdens of it; he forfeits his honor and is a bad citizen I' " 'And what must one do, lieutenant, to be a good citizen?' asked I. "'Do for your country what you would do for your father and mother!' said he. Hlisttliantaus. OUR COUNTRY! [From "An Attic Philosopher in Paris."] BY EMILE SOUVESTRE. ..• Aiittritatt - t!rto:lllt.trilE:,at.:.ata ..! 4, ..t....41:....,6..tt lf vitilltliot "I did not answer at the moment; my heart was swelling, and the, blood boiling in my veins; but, on returning along the road, .my uncle's words were, so to speak, written up before my eyes.

"This thought tormented me so much all night, that the next day I returned to - Vincennes, to announce to the lieutenant that "I had just enlisted, and was going off to the frontiers.

A LETTER TO A YODNG SOLDIER May 2, 1861. MY DEAIt .1-1 I wish to have a few parting words with you. First—For the clearing of your own'conscience in iroing to war, and to rid your mind of the pre sence and influence of unholy passions, calmly re gard yourself as a representati cc man. You' go not in your own name, but in the name of the Government—Dot to avenge any private quarrel, .but, at the bidding' of the State, to aid iii' up lolding the supremacy of the law. You may do all this with as inoffensive a mind and -as clear a , conscience as the judge may possess while pro nouncing sentence of death upon the criminal at the bar, or the officers of the law while executing its sentence. •This view of the case,(which I'am sure is the just one,) will leave you as, free to pray as to fight, and if fully appreciated will dignify and.ennoble your soldier life. Going 'forth in this spirit and in this conviction, you may possess the consciousness that you can glorify God while seeking to gratify your patriotism. Second—Bear constantly in mind that you will serve your country and the glorious cause best, by strictly obeying the orders of your superior officer, promptly, and with the manifestation of a cheerful readiness for every ,duty. This' you ought to do; it will serve to lighten the anxiety of those in command, and it will exert a happy influ ence upon your comrades in arms. Thus may you render a large and efficient service to your country, and prove that you are fired with a noble ambition in the noblest cause. Third—Take a serious thought for yourself and your own highest, interest. A captain of this city said to his company recently, "Young men, I would advise you all to have your peace made with God be fore starting for the field of battle, as numberioryon will probably never return." This was "manly and humane :counsel. Take it, my noble boy. Seek humbly for pardon and acceptance with God, through the atoning and meritorious work and death of ChriSt. Remember that He was cruci fied to take away our sins, and "whosoever be lieves in him shall not perish,-but have everlasting life." This, to you, is familiar truth, but it is the truth you now need to prize and embrace. "Ask, that you may receive" the influence of the Holy Spirit, to make you a new creature in. Christ Jesus, "for every one that asketh receiveth." If your faith in Christ seems to you insufficient, pray con stantly, "Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief." Fourth—Close no day without reading in your Testament. An experienced military man once said that he had observed, that the men always fought more courageously after having read their Testaments. Let no false shame keep you frOm habitually perusing it, and read often the third chapter of St. John's Gospel and the fifth chapter of. Romans.. Filth—Favor all measures for the moral and religious improvement of...the Company. You ought to do this, because sucs measures promote good order and efficiency in the army; some poor fel lows may therebY be prepared for the death that Awaits them; and your own eternal interests be thereby promoted, while the earnest, best wish of hiving friends at home will be gratified. Remem ber also who has said:—. 4 4 Those that honor me t I will honor." .Of course you will be the subject of our daily earnest prayers at a throne of heavenly grace Commending you to 'the Lord, to the shield -of His protection, and the sufficiency of His grace, I remain affectionately, M. IY9.te—Though tlielgregoing was a private com . , munication it-is supposed it might be a word in season,to other young men going forth in the ser vice of their country, and hence its publication. Phila. Ledger. A SOLDIER'S GRACE AT TABLE. The New Bedford Standard publishes a letter from a lady in Washington, in which she speaks at fength of the respect and esteem felt :for each other by the New York Seventh and the Massa chneetts Eighth R,egiments. She relates the follow ing interesting incident. - "There is a story told by one of the Seventh, 4that no one can listen to without tears and a glow •Of pride in our New England soldiers. He says: While, encamped in Maryland, I wandered off one day, and came to a farm house where I `saws party of-those Massachusetts fellows—well, no, they were Rhode Island boys, but it's all the same —talking with a woman whe was greatly fright ened. They tried in vain to quiet her apprehen sions. They asked for food, and she cried, 'O, take all I have, take everything, but spare my sick, husband.' 'O, dayn it,' said one of the men, we ain't going te hurt you, we want something to eat' But the woman persisted in being fright ened in spite of all efforts to reassure her, and hurried whatever food she had on the table 'But,' said the lientenant, 'when she saw this company stand about the table with bared heads, end a - tall, gaunt man raise his hand and invoke God's bless ing op the bounties spread before them, the poor woman broke down with a fit of sobbing and crying. She had no longer any fears, ,but bid them wait, and in a few moments had made them hot coffee in abundance. She, then emptied their canteens of the muddy water they contained, and fill - e,d them with coffee. Her astonishment increased When they insisted on paying her. The lieutenant tells this with great expression. Said he, Their asking a blessing took me -by surprise, and when I saw this I felt that our country was safe, with such men tUfight for it.'' THE SURRENDER OF StrIdTER A. SOIITHERDI VIEW. The following testimony to the character of Col. Anderson, and the nature ,nf' the patilil l anti diffi culties to which he was compelled to 'suebuni,b, is from a correspondent of the North Carolina:.Pres byterian. The true cause of the surrender of Anderson was the burning of the Barracks. The Batteries made little or no impression upon_ the walls of the Fort. By a singular providence the wind blew in such a direction as to drive the smoke into--the casemates, half strangling and suffocating the men. When ,the white flag was heisted, and the firing had ceased, the poor fellows rushed out on the wharf for fresh air, and some even threw them selves into the sea to cool their heated bodies. The courage and constancy of Anderson were strikingly displayed during the raging of the flames. When he found that they could not be extin guished, he returned to his guns with his heated panting, suffocated soldiers: Once more did he re sume his terrible fire. Gallant men ever appre ciate gallantry in others, and our brave fellows gave three cheers for Major Anderson when they witnessed his unflinching pluck and courage. I hope I will be pardoned for defending a friend of twenty years' aCquaintance. Anderson is a modest,, gentle, kind-hearted Christian - gentleman. His piety is deep grid ardent, but quiet and un pretending. Ho is conscientious and scrupulous to a fault." The Week of Prayer on the Ocean.—One of the female missionaries in the company just arrived out-in India writes:—"During the second week in January, we held, prayer•meetings every evening, as that week was observed by many churches as, one of especial prayer for the conversion of all nations. SOme one of the gentlemen read each evening an essay on the subject , of mitisiOns." TILE TIKES' WE LIVE IN. REV. MR. WISWELiIa FIRTH ANNIVERSARY DISCOURSE. A few Sabbaths ago; the pastor of the Central Church, Wilmington, deliv'vred a discourse, com memorating the fifth anniversary of his pastorate. We transfer from the whims of the :Delaware State Journal, the following.impressive and timely sentiments, extracted from the discourse. 14Iy friends, there are. many things yet to be spoken unto us, Ijudge, s soon as we are able to hear them. If I rigiolylead and interpret our history and present posi ion, we . have not yet finished our work.' We ha e'yet much to do and it perhaps much to endure. i . - • Our first five years close amidst, strange, un looked-for, and unspeakably eventful scenes.— We began our career at a period of unprecedented prosperity in this land---iwe close this first mea sure of it with the traw of armies and the sound of war on every side. It is difficult to speak of the strange and fearfulpea of the present hour with anything, likicaltu ess. The entire .combi nationF of events is. so n w, so unlike anything we have ever known, thate cannot determine our precise locality. We ave been so long and, so gently wafted by, foste ng gales upon this voy -1 age of national prosp ity, that we had begun to fancy ourselves asoliaving received of the God of ,nations an immunity from the incursions of foreign foes and the vionce of internal seditions. We have so long and s confidently spoken of civil and religions libertydud the blessings 'of free l. republican institutions, as almost to fancy that of all lands we had a sort o diiine and exclusive right to these privileges.. Our religious advantages have been so great . and abunt, such perfect freedom of opinion .has been, enj yed, as to make us quite or the envy of oppressed and misruled , nations all over the world. ! , ' But our dream bliss ul and gorgeously draped, as it has been, is alre dy, broken, the charm is rudely dispelled. On .of the most liberal and beneficent governmen ever inaugurated by man, has been .-recklessly - aSsailed, by those whom it has ever protected, and-under whose supremacy they have received all that raises them above men tal and spiritual degradation and abject poverty. Those who have taken upon themselves the fear ful responsibility of making war upon this republic, are simply making a bold push for the right of the minority to govern the' majority, thus subverting the very fundamental principle upon which the government was established.—Human history presents nothing so shocking as this unprincipled rebellion agaiost the peace and happiness of 30,- 000,000 of people. The annals of Civilized na tions furnish no parallel with tliis utter abandon ment of political honor, this total lack of 'loyalty to the Constitution they were sacredly bound to sustain. We see the beginningpf this reign of lawless ness and rapine;,but -who shall tell us where is the end? Here is truly '4 pon the earth distress. of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring, men's hearts failing them for fear arrd for looking after those things which are coining on the earth." But in the midst of all this dire ful commotion, we get the most perfect assurance as we fall back upon the essential justice of our cause. Never was .a clearer issue put before a great and patriotic people. War is a terrible necessity, and can only be justified as a last resort when great and vital principles are at stake. But it is sometimes a necessity in this fallen world, and especially when inalienable rights are imperilled and the hopes of couutless millions are about to be quenched in more than Egypt's .darkness. Nothing but a sense of the imminent danger of this could hav_e in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, brought 20,000,090 of free and peaceful people to their feet, and started then"on the march to the battle field in defence of their endangered government. There is a moral sublimity in this picture, such as was never before beheld among men. Now, my brethren, God has appointed to us out lot in these times of-trial... The Christian Church has by no means the smallest interests at stake in this war for the defence a the government and tilt perpetuity of the ieitublie. Indeed it were idle for me to enlarge upon this point. Upon the ehurchrof. God would , F fall the heaviest blow, con ; sequent upon a reign of anarchy and despotism in - this-fair land; such as would be sure to follow the destruction of this, free government. With the fall of this, my brethren, we lose most that we hold sacred and.dear in thii world. As this is true, we have grave responsibilities as Christian citizens, and as a Christian Church. It is not the creed of this communion that we are to sit in supineness and indifference *bile others fight the battles of freedom for us. We fiave too much staked upon the issuc, , thus to look on from afar. There is not a Christian man or woman in this "household of faith" who is not under the most solemn obligations of religion to do to the utmost for the support of the constituted powers of go vernment. There is no - option. If ever there was a "holy war" on -earth, I solemnly believe that this in which we are now engitged is that war. In urging every member of this Church to aid, to his utmost, for its successful termination, I have not the smallest scruples of conscience. I hope• my instructions from this pulpit for the past five years •in reference to the practical relations of the church to the world have not been in vain., No I no I my brethren, we are not to shrink in gloriously from•any responsibility that the present exigencies of our country may put upon us. Cherishing such views as I do, of the sphere and influence of religion, and the essential righteous ness of my county's cause against her treacherous foes, I am full of hope.. •I am quite unwilling to believe that God has raised up a government like this, so long a terror to despots, for so ignoble - a purpose, as to allow it to be destroyed by the phrensied hands.Of ambitious but disappointed demagogues and fanatical partisans. It cannot be that he will allow chains to clank instead of the angelic strains of liberty. I will fain hope that's more glorious future awaits us. Thegreat Arbiter of nations has put us into the crucible to test and pro've ue, He shall at length' bring us as a- nation out .of these fires purer and stronger than before. 0! my country . ! my country! thou;bast nursed me from my infancy even as a tender and gentle mother; thou bast lavished upon me untold bless ' ings, and now when enemies who should be friends, cluster around .the Capitol, and lift treacherous bands to smite= . thee, I will stand for thy defence. My heart , shall prove true to thee and all I have and all I am, by the help of G-odA will freely lay upon thine altar. Such should be our firm resolve, - my bearers, as. our religion' includes the sincere love of our country, and thus doing, be assured, that those who come after - us will rise up and callus blessed. The volume of the future is all sealed to us, but let us watch with eagerness and read with dili gence so fast as -the divine ,fingers shall turn the leaves. Let us be faithful to God, faithful to man, faithful to our church, faithful to our coun try. The end is-spot far off. Already the gates of the eternal day stand wide ajar --the light ce lestial Areams through the open portals, and soon shall our glad ear catch the sound of the " wel come good and faithful servants." OUR GOVERNMENT. Who is Lineoln, or Buchanan, or Pierce? asks the German, Reformed Messenger. Men as we are, all of them.. During their term of office they are the servants of the country. The Govern ment is the ship, of which they , are or were but the ateerstnen, 77 the ship in which the nation is preserved. When the ship sinks the passengers sink with it. The material of which it was built required six thousand years to prepare it. Romer, Pinder, Solon , Socrates Plato Demosthenes, Ci cero, Moses, joslina, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Christ and his, apostles, and all subsequent ages wrought at. principles which have been framed into the struc ture of our Government. Can it be wrong for one who takes the Bible for his guide, which tells us that "the powers that be are ordained of God," to which every soul should be subject, to resist every effort to Alestroy such a costly craft, which hitherto has • made such a successful and prosper ow voyage?

There is, perhaps, no disease to which human flesh is heir, so' terrible as Epilepsy. Without premonition in its attacks, except just enough to produce, horrors inde scribable and unimaginable, excebt to the unfortunate epileptic himself. He can never tell when, where, or how; whether ati midnight, or in midday, at home or abroad, unemployed or in the bisy marts of commerce —he may be stricken down and perish, or be mutilated by unavoidable accident. It is rarely fatal, except when superinduced.by exces sive intemperance ; then it makes short work. The un fortunate sufferer wastes, and when not cut off-by acci dent, or by some other disease, invariably drags out a life of lingering misery, to which death were an infi nite relief, and at length he usually becomes an idiot, and will die such, perhaps after the lapse of many years. But in very many eases, if treated in time, it may be cured. The undersigned, a native of Charleston, South,Caro lina, had beea an epileptic for several years, and his at tacks were very severe, exhausting the skill of the ablest physicians of the country, and as eminent, perhaps, as any country can produce, without relief. About a year ago, his attention was called to . two or three articles which appeared in the Char estop Medical Journal from the pen of Dr. W. M. Cornell, formerly. of Boston, and now of Philadelphia, on the subject of Epilepsy. He forthwith opened a correspondence with Dr. C. and re mised such assurance from him and others as led him to visit Philadelphia, and place himself under Cornell's treatment. He iegan to improve immediately, awit he belieies his improvement has been radical and perma nent. He has not had an attack since, now nearly one year, nor anything approaching one, except a little ver tigo once or twice, which passed off in a few minutes without any - Unpleasant effect. He has been a minister of the Gospel all his life, and has been actively engaged in the labors thereof until he became an epileptic ;.since then he has been compelled to withdraw- therefrom. He fondly hopes now, being so much improved, he shall be able to resume his loved work at no distant day. We may pe perrnitted to remark here 'that Dr. Cornell is a regular bred physician of the Old School, and a Christian gentlemen of high-standing, and may be im plicitly relied upon. He, Dr. C.., has treated, perhaps, in the course of a long practice, not less than.five hun dred epileptics, drawn to him from every portion of this widely extended country. All of these have not, been cured. This was not be expected. There .are, un doubtedly, cases that are beyond the , reach of human skill, but many of these have been more or less im proved, anti the majority of all ham Been ratlically - ind permanently cured, i. e., they have never had a Si since, and many of them, after the lapse of many years. The following ease is given 'selected from many other similar 'cases that might be quoted, in proof of this statement; I feel constrained, by a sense of gratitude, and also by a des:re to benefit others, who may be similarly af flicted, to acknowledge, through your columns, the re lief I have gained by theme of a •medicine prepared by Dr. William M. Cornell, of Boston. For about seven teen yeargi I have-been subject to violent attacks of con vulsion. They occurred at intervals, varying from two to seven weeks—the fits succeeding each other some times to the number of seven • or, eight. During that time I have been under the treatment of several emi nent physicians of Boston and vicinity, sometimes fol lowing the-directions of one for a year without relief I have applied to the McLean Hospital, tested the efti cacy of Tbompsonianism for thirteen weeks, the Ho meopathic system for two months; and, so desirable :was health, that I even resorted to Mesmerism to disclose the cause of*the difficulty and prescribe the remedy, bui still, my fits continued. " Hearing of Dr. Cornell% success in similar cages, called on him in September last, since which time I have taken his medicine and carefully followed his directions with the exception of a single occasion. On the sth of January last, being absent from home, I neglected to take the medicine, arid owing to that circumstance, to gether with exposure and some degree of excitement, ;I had 'one slight attack. Froth that time I have enjoyed 'unusual health,.and have since bad no syniptoms of the complaint that has probably caused me more suffering then would bp experienCed in it hundred Oaths..

Woans are a prolific source of sickness in children. They are seldom free from them, anti- by their irritation all other diseases are agggavated. Convulsions, as well Mr St. Vitus' Dance, have been superinduced by them, nd 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; feyer, variable appetite anti fetid breath, JAYNE'S TONIC VBRMIFUGE should be resorted to without delay.

Scrofula, or King's Evil, Is a constitutional disease, a corruption - or the' bloodi by which this fluid benoines vitiated, weak, mid peer. Being in the circulation, it. pervades the whole body, and may hur=t out in disease on any part of it. No organ is free from its attacks, nor is there one which it may not destroy. The scrofulous taint is Tarim:tab , caused by Mercurial disease, low living, disordered , us. healthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the depressing and, above all, by the venereal infection. Whatever be its oriSc, It is heresOtary In the constitution, descending "from parents •.n children unto the third and fourth .generationc" indeed. it seemi to be the rot of Him who says,—"l will visit the inieuties of the Lathers upon their children." Its effects commence by deposition from the blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter: which, in the lungs, liver, and internal, organs, is termed tuberclee; in the glands, swellings; and, on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul corruption, which genders is the blood, depresses the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitutions not only suffer from scrofulous complaints, but they hem fir lets power;to. withstand the attacks of other diseases' ' consequenly, Test numbera perish bY disorders, which, although not scrofulous in their nature, are still rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most of the consumption which decimates the human family, ha. its origin directly in this scrofulous contamination; and many the structiveviiseases of the liver, kidneys, brain, and, indeed, of all to organs, arise from or are aggravated by the same eanse. One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; their persons are is vaded bythis lurking infection, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it from the system, we must renovate the blood by an Alterative medicine, and invigorate it by healthy food and each else.
