152 Cur pi Hag tivdt, The Missouri River. BY REV. JAMES GALLAHER., Or TENNESSEE. [For the fulfilment of theprophesy of this Boanerges, we are warringto•day.] MISSOURI, Missouri, I gaze on thy stream, And fancies thick rising enchant like a dream; As thy restless, bold surges go foaming along, I make thee the burden and theme of my song.. Old records rehearse bow the great son of,,lsTian, Made a famous address to the Moon and'the Sun; Thou Monarch of Rivers, no reason I see, Why the bard may not dedicate stanzas to thee From the snow-covered mountains piled up in the North, Thy waves, like an army, come thundering forth; A continent owns thy dominion, and brings Thee her tribute from thousands of beautiful springs A wonderful empire by thee is possessed, Thou. strong and unparralleled son of the West; No rival nor equal has dared thee oppose, Since earth at Creation from chaos arose. While Ninevah, Babylon, Athens, and Rome Rose, flourished and faded, and sunk to the tomb Thy beauties remain, and as youthful now seem As when first the wild buffalo drank of thy stream In the deep and inscrutable counsels of God, Thy realm lay concealed during ages of blood; 'Twas the will of high Heaven that thy'plains should be free,, No Nimrod or Caesar e'er trampled on thee. While blood-thirsty monarchs their banners un furled, klid crushed groaning nations throughout the old world The guardian of Israel, as at the Red= Sea, Kept a •'pillar of cloud" betwixt tyrants and thee. But the long-promised mandate of Heaven comes now, " Beat spears to a pruning-hoph, swords to a plough"; And aslhe blessl Gospel diffuses its light, Like Canaan, to Moses thy plidns some in sight. ,To the eye of the prophet on Pisgah's high top, First "Gilead," then "2phraink," then " Judah" COMO up; And thus in succession, before our glad eyes, Thy rich and extended 'savannas arise. Missouri, Misttouri, I view thee with pride What cities, what temples shall garnish thy side! And to millions of millions a home thon'lt afford, When the kingdoms of earth shall have turned to the Lord.' When satan ie bound. and the Spirit of Goa Ho established with men his perpetual abode, Prom both thy long shores, from thy source to the main, . Hallelujahs shall rise to the Lamb that was slabi. When the wolf and the lamb shall lie down on the green, And the trail of the seapent no longer is seen, For the worship of God, on the sweet day of rest, Whatt W ßeni es b t iles shall meet on these plains'of th e Roll on, matchless river ; thy grandeur display; Though we who now view thee, zaustioon,pasa away, Thy restless, hold surges shall dash on thyiahore, Till the mighty Arehangershents :" Tsar, is No mown 1" PAPA'S LITTLE SOLDIER& RUB-A-MB ) rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub dub ; rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub dub." Up and doivn the garden walks marched Johnny and Charley Clare with paper soldier's caps ft-their heads, wooden swords dangling from their belts, and bright red stripes on their linen pantaloons. Charley was the musician, and his mamma, - who sat sewing at her chamber window won dered when his fat little arms would grow tired of heating the noise out of his drum ; for hi 'had drummed ever since dinner, and now it was three o'clock, and a very warm afternoon. fiwo or three times she was on the, pint of calling them in ; but ,they were go happy at their play that she 'concluded td bear the noise, rather thin interrupt them. And So they marched up and down—up and , down, the drum beating and Johnny's little Hag floating on the air. Presently their sister Katie, who had been playing with her dails in the summer-house, dame out with a lirk rag baby in her arms, and joined her brothers in their march. " Girls don't enlist," said Charley, stop ping short, and flourishing his drum-sticks. "WS shan't have you in our company, Katie," ' 4l No," said Johnney ; " who ever heard of girls going to war with rag babies ? Yoic must rim away, Katie." "I shan't" said Katie, very decidedly. " I'm going to march, and so is my Polly !" Presently Mrs. Clare called Johnny and Katie. "There is a letter for you," she said, smiling, and showing them a white envelope, with a bright-colored picture in the corner. "It is directed to Papee little soldiers, Charley and johriney and Katie. " " There, Charley," cried Katie, triumph antlY, "lam a, little soldier; papa wrote it so, and he knows." " Let us see what he•says about it," said mamma, taking- the little girl in her lap. It was such a pleasant letter that I will copy it for otheriittle boys and girls to read. 14 MY DEAR LITTLE CHILDREN :—I am go ing to write you a letter to-day, instead of sending you messages by deair , mamma t I want to see you air more than I can tell in. words; it seems a great while since I kissed you good-bye,' and yet it is only a month. I think of you a great many times every day, and: hope you try to be obedient to your mamma, and kind to each other. Mamma -wrote me that Aunt Alice had given Charley a drtun; and Johnny a flag, and that, you were very fond of playing soldiers. She said that you talk about fighting the rebels when you are bigger; but I want to tell you that you need not wait until you are men to do that, and that Katie can fight them as well as you. It will not be necessary for you to come South in order to do this. for the rebels are—where do you think, Johnny? I will tell you ; they are in your own heart, and Charley has some in his, and even little blue , eyed Katie has some in hers. These rebels have various names; and if they are not conquered and driven away, they will give you a great deal of trouble; and make you very unhappy. There is one whose name is Disobedience; he is a very wicked rebel. When mamma or Aunt Alice tell you what you must do, he says, Don't do it,' and he is very glad when he makes you listen to him. Then there is another re bel whose name is Selfishneis ; he wants chilaren to keep their toys to themselves, in stead.of lending them to their brothers and sistere.% I should not, wonder if he told John- ny to keep his flag to himself and never let Katie take it, even if she wanted it very much. Selfishness always says, Take the biggest piece of cake on the dish; keep the best apple; look at the prettiest picture-book; choose the easiest chair, all for your own self, and never mind one else.' A very naughty rebel is this ! Then:there is another who is called Passion. I don't like to think that any of my deaf children have him in their heart. He makes bright eyes flash, and soft cheeks redden with anger: he raises little hands to strike, and he changes plea sant voices so that they sound harsh and coarse, and sometimes he makes them utter naughty, wicked words. Then there is I Can't, who likes to make people think it is of no use to try to learn to sew, or to 'do any thing that seems,a little' difficult ; and there is Sloth, who is a great friend to I 'Can't he loves idle children, and does all he can to keep them from being usefully employed. Wherever, you find him you find another trou blesome rebel called Mischief; he never acres how much work little boys and girls make for their mamma: i 'Here Mrs. Clare paused and looked. gravely at Charley's apron, so full of square holes, but she said nothing. Charley's face grew very red under that si lent look, and he felt sorry enough, and very much ashamed. "Now, my dear children,'.' the letter went on, "these rebels whom I have named are raised against the good government Of jr6ur kind Father in heaven. Re says, Children, obey your paretts in the Lord, for this is right ; 'Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them ;' 'He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city;' Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with might. But Diso bedience, and Selfishness, and Passion and Sloth do all they can to eep us from serv ing and obeying the Great Ruler. Now want you to be brave little soldierS and fight against these wicked' rebels in your own hearts. Jesus Christ, the dear 'Saviour, will be your Captain, and if you'pray to him, and have fath in him, he will be sure to make you victorious. Mamma will talk to you a bout what` I have written, and if you do not understand_ it all she will explan „it to you. I shall expeet'a long letter'from each of - you, telling; me first how you succeed in yourwar fare. You have the fervent prayers and the dearest love of • YOUR PAPA." NO'LACE FOR THE BOTR. DoER it not seem as if in some houses there is actually no, plaie..for the. boys ? We do not mean Abe little boys—them .is always room'tor them ; they are petted and caressed; there is a place for them on papa's knee and at mamma's footstool, if not in her arms ; there are loving words, And InanYs :often , -too many indulgences. But the, class we speak of now are the schoolboys, great, noisy, romp ing 'fellows, who tread on your dress, and upset your work-basket, and stand in your light, and whistle and drum and shout •and ask questions - and contradict. So what is to be done with them? Do they not want to be loved and cherished now as dearly, us they, were in that well-remembered time' When ik `e , y were ihe:/il6 onee, and were indulged, petted and' earesied. But they are so noisy, and they wear y out the earpet with their thick bitots, and it is so quiet when they are gone, say the tired mother, and the faiti dious sister and the nervous aunt; "anything for peace' sake," and away go the boys to "loaf" on street corners, and listen to the profane and coarse language of wicked men or to the unsafe ice, or to the railroad sta tion, or the wharves, or the other common places of rendezvous of those who have no thing to do or no place to - stay. But it is argued that there are few boys 'who care to stay in the house after school, and it is better they should play• in the open air—all of which is true. We argue for those dull days and stormy days and evenings, all evenings, in which they wish to stay in, or ought to be kept in, and in which if kePt in they make themselves and everybody else uncomfortable. We protest against the usages of those homes where the mother is busy with her sewing or her baby, and the father is absorbed with the newspaper in the evening whieh he never reads aloud, and' the 'boys must "sit`still and not make a noise," or go immediately to bed. They hear the merry voices of other boys in the streets, and long to be with them ;home is a dull place; they will soon be a little older, and then, say they, " we will -go out and see for ourselves what there is outside which we are 'forbidden to enjoy." We protest against - the usages of those homes *hero . 'the bay's ire driven out because theirWesonce is iiirtreldsinie;• scolded when they come in, or checked, hushed and restrained at every outburst of merriment. AgPrtMolis,. AT four or five "successive Sabbath-School concerts ' the have heard the hymn (if we must call it a hymn) sung with great enthusiasm, coinmencmg, "We loye to sing together." The tune is even more silly than the words, which is saying much. In each stanza, the words "we loVe," are xepeatbil - times, almost in succession. First the girls sing, - then the boys and girls ;, then again the girls, and after them the boys and.girls, then fol lows' the full chorus. The granif„climacterici concluding stanza closes ' on a high key, with "We love, we love, we love, we love, we loVi to be together ; we love, we love, we love, in love, we love to be together." Undenbtedly. they d And the hearers have Y had ample time and hints to think of things which they love. one can hear the performance with.: out being reminded of the deacon who ie 7 peatedly undertook to "raise the tune;" but each time could get on no farther than "I love to steal." Ilere is anothet, taken' frem,, the very popular " Sabbath-School Bell" "Will you come to our Sunday-school? I really wish you would ; 0 come and join our Bible-class, And learn how to be good. Will you, will you, will you, will you Join our Sunday school?" Let the reader think how such "Mother Goose" melodies compare with the simple and significant songs of Watts, which never yet failed to interest and impress children.. Several years ago we were called to the. bed; side of a hardened old man who was about to . die: We tried in vain to interest hire in re ligious subjects; until, at last, we asked him ' if he' had received an early religious edUci tion. In, a moment, his countenance changed and tears streamed from his eyes, as he re plied, " 0 yes, I bad a pious mother who taught me to repeat the hymn, "Behold the wretch, whose lust and wine Have wasted his estate I He begs a share among the swine, To taste the husks they eat." — B)P B ton *Review.

Let us try to be like the sunshiny member of.the family, who has the inestimable art to make all duty seem pleasant ; all self-denial and exertion, easy and desirable ; even dis appointment not so blank and crushing ; who is like a bracing, crisp, frosty atmosphere throughout the home without a suspicion of the element that chills and pinches. You have known people within whose influence yeti felt cheerful, amiable, hopeful, equal to anything ! Oh, for that blessed power, and for God's grace to exercise it rightly 1 . I do, not know a more enviable gift than the energy to sway others to good; to diffuse around us an atmosphere of cheerfulness, Piety, truthfulness, generosity, magnanmity. It is not a matter of great :talent; not en tirely a matter of great energy ; but rather of earnestness and honesty—and of that quiet, constant energy, which is like soft rain gently penetrating the soil. It is rather a grace than a gift ; and we all know where all grace is to -be had freely for the asking. —Country Parson. ..))',1.j';0 .. i...01tg: - # - *•' - * - #. - ti.: WEATHER IN WAR. IT is not very flattering to that glory loving, Ibattle-seeking creature,' Man, that his best-arranged schemes for the destruction of his fellbws should often - be made to fail by the condition of the weather. More or less have the greatest, genersls been "servile to all the skyey influences." Upon the state of the atmosphere ;frequently depends the ability of men to fight, and military hopes rise 'and fall;with the rising, and, falling of the metal in the thermometer's tube. Mercury goVerns Mars. A hero is stripped of his plumes by a tempest, and'his laurels fly away on the in visible wings of the wind, and are seen no more forever. Empires fall because of a heavy fall of snow. Storms of rain have more than once .caused monarchs to cease to reign. A hard frost, a sudden thaw, a "hot spell," a "cold snap," a. contrary wind, 'a long drought, a storm of sand,—all these things have had their part in deciding the destinies of dynasties, the fortunes of races, and the fate of nations. Leave the wea ther out of ; history, and it is as if night were ieft out of the day, and winter'out of the year.

They talked as if no such thing had ever before been known to stay the March of armies; whereas all military ope rations have, to a greater or lesser extent, depended for their issue upon the softening or the•hardening of the earth, or upon the clearing or the clouding of the sky.

The condition of rivers, which must be owing to the condition of the weather, has often colored events for ages, perhaps for eVer. The melting of the snows of the Py renees, causing a great rise of the rivers of Northern Spain, came nigh bringing ruin upon Julius Ccesar himself; and nothing but the feeble character of the opposing general saved him from destruction. * * - * At Agincourt the circumstances were very different [from Crebyd but quite as fatal to the French. That battle was fought on the 25th of October, 1415, and the French slicing! Ilave won it according to all the rules of war,—but they did not win it, because they had too much valor and too little sense. A cautious coward makes a better soldier than a valiant fool, and the boiling braveryof the French has lost them more battles than any other people have lest through timidity. Henry. V.'s invasion of France was the most wicked attack that ever was' made even by England an a neighboring nation, and it? was meeting with its proper reward, hen French folly ruined everything. The French over took the English on the 24th of October, and by judicious," action might, have destroyed them, for they were by far the more nume rous,—though most English authorities, with characteristit "=veracity," grossly exagge rate the inequality of numbers that really did' exist between the two armies.

THE ISSUES OF THE WAR WHAT now are its omens ? The wisest can only conjecture. It looks, at times, very like a. reorganization of society. It-has some features that remind us of the descent of the Northern:tribes upon the enfeebled and,effete Roman empire, which- infused a new blood and vigor intO those Southern regions. Life sprung forth from that terrible dying of a worn-out nationality..; Half a continent un derwent a reconstruction of its social institu tions. Old oppressions gave place to , new liberties. Thousands and myriads of people, too corrupt to be of any use whatsoever, went down before the hosts 'of a, fresher/ace, -mak ing room , for them to try_ their hand at the founding of a better order of Aings. God thus sets aside,those cumberers of the ground who have demonstrated their moral worth lessness in this world, and gives to others a chance to do what has been left undone. War is the usual agent of these national recrea tions. Our civil conflict seems, to be assuming these proportions, to be pointing to: these issues. Once more the North is moving downward upon the softer civilization of the South,not, as we begin to forecast, merely to inflict some severe and,,well-merited chas tisement upon, it for its cruelties and its crimes, bUt to make a -permanent occupation of its soil, forfeited by..secession and treason; and to repopulate at least important sections of it, as the centres of a far better and ra pidly diffusive state of society. A year gone by has done much to prove what many sus.: pected, that 'southern life has become too es sentially vitiated in itk - ruling sentiments and policies to be saved frirm self-destruction. If this be so, it had better die soon by some ex ternal compress; than eat itself up like a can cerous body. If too far diseased for success ful medication, it had better go the way, of all defunct flesh; that a living 'birth and growth may come after it, to increase and and replenish in a more Christian fashion. If this be the will of Providence, we shall be resigned to the dispensation. We regard our army not only as an, immensefighting corps, but as an eventual colonization so ciety. Yoiing, and full of enterprise, inge nuity, intelligence and industry as ark our soldier's generally, they have just the train ingrequisite for the resettling of that wretch edly abused, but magnificent territory. If they folloW all great historic precedents, multitudes of -them will find a home amidst those inviting regions. They are likely to see enough of the brutality of the slave sys tein, not to desire its re-installation in its fanner abodes. If the South had wished to• disgust the entire national creation- with that caudal appendage' of its domestic life, it could not have taken a. more , effeetive way to do it than its insane folly 'has invented. It has contrived:~ to destroy the most of whatever sympathy used to be felt for its complaints. at the North. That sympathy will never be revived in people who have even a verysmall modicum of common. sense. Our soldiers have a large measure of this serviceable com modity. We Will trust them against the wiles of this fad6d, and shrunken, and foul Delilah. - We watch our striiggk from month to month with more than the gratitude and tri umph of a victorious and righteous crusade ; with the profoundly solemn emotions of those who are witnessing one of God's sublimest restorations'of national honor and integrity from amid 'the overthrow of gigantic evils no longer endurable. The days of creation have come again, with the evenings and the mornings of .'a new eraof prospective prospe rity, - liberty, righteousness—so we hope, and almoit dare to propheiy. rf &North that is worthy this name, can stretch itself to the Gulf "of Mexico as a'permanent proprietor, then we can see hew slavery will soon cease to trouble the land. :If it can anywhere nearly, approximate this, then also the back hone of negro O .

And yet it is very plain that it is' ot' fdr - iihen it is attempted either to eulogize or censure, men frequently shoot wide of the mark. The German character, to be understood must be studied in the structure of its language ; in its literature, as developed in its original seats ; in its Manifestations in Europe ' among crowned kings, skilful diplomatists profound scholars, eminent statesmen; imaginative au= thors. It must be stifled in : Luther's Bible,' in Gesenius' LeXicon, in 'Schiller's - -Walla skin, in Herder, in Goethe; in Molnar; in. Koerner, in'Aindt snit Spencer, in Kant and SChelling.
