LITTLE WILLIE.
THE name brings before me visions of
his blue eyes and golden hair, of his rosy
cheeks where dimples loved to linger, and
the ruby , lips that so often used to say,,
"Teter, are I a dood boy to-day ?" But,beit
of all, were the gentle words and winning.
smiles that made him such a sunbeam in Our
little school. His heart seemed, overflowing
with love and sympathy for every one. I
remember how he came to me one day, after
a regiment of soldiers had marched past the
school-house, bringing a strip of a buffalo
robe covered with long hair, which he had
found beside the road ;.and, as he held it up
he said, pityingly:
"Do thee; thomebody losth their whith
kers."
One afternoon I told the primer Class, of
which he was a member, how Ohrist.took lit
tle children in his arms and blessed them,
anda taught them the verse, "Suffer little
children to come unto ine, and forbid them
not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
That afternoon; after school was excused, as
I was locking my desk, Willie stole softly
back. Climbing upon the desk, he put his
arms around' my neck and kissed me, say
ing :I
love 00, teoer."
"What is love, Willie ?" I asked.
He thought a moment, then replied ear
nestly
"It's what makes us deed to folks." Af
ter a little pause, he added, 44 Teem., who is
Kwist that best 141 e children?"
Before I could reply, there 'came a knock
on the door. I opened it and a little girl
handed me a billet, saying. timidly : •.;
"Mrs Hamlin supposed it had been sent
before."
It contained an urgent invitation for me to
spend the afternoon with a friend of mine. I
knew that Willie was the child` of irreligious
parents, and that I ought to encourage this
his first Seeking after divine truth, but the
tempter whispered, to-morrow will do as well,
and I, yielded. to the, voice. To-morrow.! how
many broken hopes, how many duties unful
filed, come from too firm a reliance on its de
ceitful promises.
But the next day. Willie's place was va
cant. I missed the bright face and ringing
laugh of my little pet, and after school had
closed,. I directed my ' Steps toward his fa
ther's house. On my way I met his sister.
Taking my hand, she said hurriedly
"Oh, teacher, wont you come right dolma
to our house; Willie is so sick, and he don't
know any of us."
In a few moments I stood by the bedside
of the little sufferer. He was tossing to and
fro with restless pain, and they told me that
; scarlet fever was drying, up the fountaina.of
that young life.
As I entered the room, he said softly, "Who
is Kwist that best ittle children ?" Sitting,
beside Min,. I told him the sweet story of the
cross. But reason was dethroned, and when
I ceased speaking, he said with pleading ear
nestness : •
"Beath tell me who is Kwist that best
ittle children ?"
"Will you pray for us r asked the father.
It was all he could say, for his heart,was
full. Kneeling there, I prayed that God
would spare our darling if it was His will,
and if not, that He would comfort the hearts
of his parents in their great sorrow, and
make me more faithful to the little flock
committed to my charge.
When we arose, a convulsion came over
Willie, and the little form writhed in agony.
It was - but for a moment, then he lay still
with closed eyes and•clasped hands. Silent
ly we watched beside him, till the ticking of
the old clock that stood in one corner seemed
like a somber interlude, weaving the mo
mei►ts of suspense together. An hour passed
on. Then there was another convulsion. It
was longer and harder than the last. At its
close he lay pale and exhausted. Suddenly
he opened his 'eyes and his, lips unclosed.
There was a strange agonizing earnestness
in his voice as he pleaded :
4 g Pleath tell me who is Kwist that best
ittle. children ; oh, pleatli tell me who is
Kwist that best ittle children."
• ,
"Fray` for him, far him," 'sobbed the fa
ther, and I prayed then as I had never done
before, that. Christ reveal himself to
that d c fing child.
Go heard - the prayer, for as we watched
him, an exultant look 'glanced across Willie's
face., ..11e lifted his head and stretched forth
his small white hands toward heaven. I shall
never forget his last words :
"`There is Kwist that best ittle children.
I coming, 1 coming." And the golden head
was buried in the pillows. The beating heart
was hushed forever.
Nee days after, when the clouds were
weeping rain-tears, we laid him down to
sle9.' And as the - aged pastor told us that
WiLie had gone to see Jesus Christ who bles
sed little children, there were eyes
,anumed to
tears, and hardened suiibtirnt faces,' that
were moistened - with something elsethan;the
rain drops that were. falling thickly around
Brief was his life, -beautiful his death, yet
through God's bieksing theY' were the' means'
of leading his parents to fix their hopes for
bothlime and eternity on that dear Saviour
who blessed little dhildren. And in the great
day of account heir many ransomed souls
'will there be who have flailed the prediction,
44 And a little child. shall lead them."—Oon
gregationatist.
KNOWING WHICH 18 SUNDAY.
A RELIGIOUS DOG.—In the ancient and
beautiful town of Chatham, N. Ys, is a very
remarkable dog,; whose character and behavior
would excite the admiration of all goad men.
On week days he is a dog of like passions and
behavior with other animals, but on Sunday
his peculiarities and sectarian prejudices shine
out; Unlike the, crow, he can count, and
knows when Sunday comes. He is not the
same then as on other days. He indulges in
no pastimes. He encourages no company
and 'no familiarity. He says hi actions loud
er than words, to the vain, and the canine
race—" Six days shalt thou play and do
your sports."
The family are all Presbyterians, but the
dog is a Methodist. , On Sunday mornings
he attends the family on their way to church,
leaves them at the door of the house of the
Lord where they attend, and then goes on. his
Solitary and unbroken way till he comes to
the Methodist church, which is &little furth
er on. When he has reached the church he
goes up stairs, and has a particular place in
which he sits; and when an intruder ventures
into his 'plaee, no.belle or madam of 6 - shion
who - goes sweeping' up the aisle of Gyabe, and
finds a plebeian in her elegant pea , can give
more decided indications of annoyance and.
-displeasure than does the, dog. His seat
yielded, he attendis to the service with decor
um, and pays dogmatical attention to the
word of Scripture: Every Sunday he can be
seen on his way . to church, foul weather as
in fair---and his denominational preferendee
'are as well known as are those of any gentle-
Man. in town.—Boston Journal.
The journal must be held responsible for
the truth of the foregoing. But we know of
a horse that is as well-acquainted with Sian-
day, as any dog ever was, and if he could get.
into church, we have not a doubt that he,
would be as devout a hearer as any dog ever
was. This Sunday-observing horse belongs
in Yonkers, and when given the reins on a
week day, he invariably takes his load to the
store where his master buys hissupplies, but
on 'Sunday, when given the reins ' o he never
fails to take his burthen to the church door.
The horse goes • regularly, however, to his
master's church, and unless he should object'
to the very. long and very: formal service of
that church, we do not see why he would,
not be as good an Episcopalian as the dog is
a Methodist,—.Examiner.

ADDRESS OY HON. EDWARD EVERETT
AT THE WAR HEETINO INTANUEIL
Jeff
THOSE generous cheers, fellow citizens,
given mot to me but to the cause which I
here to cameadvocate, assure me that there
is no need. of argument before this, pa
triotic assembly—(cheers)=--in this patri
otic conimunity, to , support the duty,
the necessity of reinforcing the Array
the Potomac. (Loud cheers.) If any ar
gument were necessary, you have heard:it
sufficiently from the eloquent lips of the gen
tleman who has preceded me. I should do
injustice to this patriotic assembly and to
this patrietic community if I went into a long
argument on the necessity and duty of rein
forcing the Army:, of the Potomac.' Men
May honestly differ—do honestly differ—on
many questions 'which come up in the course
of - this wicked and cruel war, but no one who
has a drop of patriotic blood in his veins can
hesitate as to the duty and necessity of
ing to the relief of our brethren now en-•
camped on.the bank of James river,--Norn
by the heavy labors of 'the campaign; deci-,
mated by the diseases of the. climate and
the camp—sleeping, to use the expression of
one of the French Princes (wile; I may say,
in passing; expressed the highest admiration
of the discipline and courage of that noble
army, and the conduct of its gallant chief),
for two months with one eye and one ear
open. Yielding at length to the force of su
perior numbers, rapidly concentrated and
hurled upon single points of our necessarily
extended lines, they have been compelled,
afters series oldesperate engagements which
wonbd have done honorto the veterans of the
first Napoleon , to assume a defeniiire Position
on the banks of the James. That they may
Maintain their position there, and, recover
ing from the exhaustion of the last frightful
fortnight, be able at the proper moment to
move against the rebel capital, powerful re
inforcements are necessary, and. that with
out delay. If these are granted—if the call
of the, President, who has with such_
worthy alacrity gone to acquaint himself, by.
personal inspection, with the condition, of the
army, and returns to Washington filled with
admiration for its spirit and endurance, and
its intrepid and accomplished chief—if that;
call is obeyed,: aye, if the voice of our breth
ren, which night and day comes wafted to uS
on the •wings of every breeze from 'the
South, is listened to us it should be, the
dark though glorious record of the last fort
night will be reversed, a new and bright page
turned in the history of the campaign, Rich
mond will be occupied by our brave troops,
and the war in effect ended. But if these
needed reinforcements are withheld—which
they must not, cannot, shall net be—that
gallant army is doomed to a disastrous retreat,
perhaps to a still more disastrous capitula
tion, and the termination of the war, with all
its sacrifices and sufferings, indefinitely post
poned. Such, fellow citizens, is the alterna
tive before us. Will you can you, hesitate?.
In times like these, and when a, Check, per
haps an unexpected check, occurs to break
the abiost uniform current of success, the
public mind of a highly impressible commu
nity is too apt to yield to a feeling of dis
cOuragement. For this in my opinion there
is on the present occasion no sufficient ground.
An almost unbroken succession of glorious
achievements has, from the commencement
of this` cruel contest, crowned the efforts of
the government and;loyal people of the coun
try. These efforts ,and their success have
been viewed with astonishment, and by can
did minda. With adiniratiOn, throughout the
civilized world. On :'a recent visit to Wash
ington, I was told by the minister of one of
the great military monarchies of Europe r the
representative of a sovereign whose nod puts
in, motion 700 , 000 veteran troops that the,ef
ofthegovernment of the United Statef for
the last year were such as , no other government
on earth could have Made' in the same time.
Inthe prodigious armies 'that have volunta-,
rily rushed to the field, better paid, and as
well clothed o l d. 44 as those lar any Alter
country ; in the immense trains lifsartillery
and supplies of ainanCe 'stare : 4'o - i both
,arms of the service , ; , in the vast maritime
force not so much' organized as created and
thrown, like a wall of fire, around the coasts
of 'the revolted States for fifteen hundred
miles, or Which, following, the course of our
mighty rivers, has carried the glorious old
flag of , the Union froin , its honio on the moun
tain wave far up into the very heart of the
lanif—in the generous provision for the
wounded and sick by our sanitary commis
sions and relief associations of every name,
especially thr • ough the efforts of the noble,
women of the loyal States—in the magnani
mous care even of the= prisoners, whom the
fortune of war has thrown into ohr power,
8,000 of whom I lately saw at Camp Doug
las near Chicago, as well fed and housed as
the troops by whom, under the gallant Mul
ligan, they, were guarded—l say fellow citi
zens, , in these and all the other incidents of a
mighty contest' the United States have in the
course of a twelve month, exhibited a moral
and political courage, a vigor and a fertility
of resource, dragged as they were unexpected
ly into the war, never surpassed if ever.equall
ed'by any of the great military Powers of
Europe.
Nor have we any reason to be ashatned of
the result. , War, of all the great concerns of
life, is proverbially subject to its vicissitudes.
It is no doubt for wise ends in the plan of
Providence that when He lets loose that
scourge upon a people " the battle is not, al
ways to the strong.' In a field of war geo
graphically extensive as that trod by the le
gions of Caesar or the phalanx of Aleican
,der, in less titan fifteen months of a, contest'
which took us wholiy by surprise, forced
upon us by an enemy that had passed 'a year
in secret preparations, that had treacherous
ly stripped our arsenals of their ordinance. and
munitions, debauched half the officers of the
army and, the nav,and surprised our
forts and armories, we have recovered
from the fangs of secession Maryland, Wes
tern Virginiap e Kentucky, • Tenessee, , Missouri
and Kansas, half of Alabama and Arkansas,
and the whole of Louisiana- '
recaptured the
navy yards of Norfolk and Pensacola, and
the principle forts' in the - rebellious States,
occupied the most, important military •posi
tions„, established, an efficient blockade along
the entire Southern coast, resorted to the
great line of communication eastandWeSt by
the Baltimore and Ohio. Railaoad, swept the
banks of the Mississippi, clear, with the ex
ception of one single beleaguered spot, from
Cairo to its mouth.,,, and planted the Stars
and Stripes 'at NOW Orleans. ' Let" any one
compare this balance of successes and rever
ses with those of the Crimean war—of - the
wars of the Duke of Wellington on the
Spanish Peninsula---of the wars 'generally
of the French revolution, and of our own rev
olutionary struggle—and he will find that
there is not in one of these great historical
contests a year crowned with equal successes
„
On the part of the finally victorious cause.
To offset these all important successes and
victories, we have to regret the drawn battle
and panic at Bull run; the disaiWar - I,3WS
Bluff, the destruction of.the Cumberland and:
Congress—well- redeemed by . the ' heroic:
achievment,of Lieutenant Worden in ' the lit
tie Monitor, the of a preinature move
ment on Charleston, and the recent check at
Richmond.
It is true, fellow citizens, that we have now
met with a check where we had hoped that,
by this time, a blow would have been struck
at the very heart of the rebellion, whici4 'dis solVing that reign of terror that palsies the
Vnion sentiment in the South, would
• have
speedily. restored, the authority of the eon
stitution in the reVolted States; for I great-.
ly differ from those who-believe this unhal
lowed conspiracy to be the work of .the mass
of the Southern people. I prefer the author
ity of Mr. Stephens, the Vice President of
the Southern Confederacy, who knew the
authors of the rebellion well, and who open-
ly declared that, it was the work of "disap
pointed aspirants to office. They never
dated--LtheYhaVe not to thie'day daredin
the greater part of. the revolted States, to
trust the question to ;a popular vote. The
U,nion sentiment of `the South has been and
is crushed by a reign of terror as despotic,
and wielded, I doubt not, by:as small a num
ber of, arch;tonspirators, as that of Denton,
Marie, and; Robespierre. In this there is
nothing novel or hard to credit. It is
necessary
„only to have the Control Of' a
small military organization, or even a *ell--
guided mob, and peaceful millions are over
awed. into acquiescence, sometimes for a
generation. Lord. Macaulay, speaking of
the force by which General Monk restored
the Stuarts, says . " the dread of that invinci
ble army was on all the inhabitants of the
island, and the Cavaliers, talight:by:,n,Ainn
dre,d disastrOns fields howlittle numbers can
effect against discipline, were even, more com

As
_Charles the ..Second; Second, came back to the
throne, from which his father had been drag

of the delighted millions of his. subjects, he
facetiously exclaimed that "it must have
been his own fault that he had been absent
so long, for he saw-nobody that did not pro

How large was the tatteredre turn:'le from the

ively, the cities of London and Westminster
(according- to the British Annual ,Register),
were delivered up to the hands of an unarmed
and nameless mob, to beplundered at its dis
cretion." Houses were pillaged pulled down
or burned—the prisons burst open and'their
inmates liberated—thirty-six incendiary fires
blazed at-once. On the fifth ofthose, dread
ful. days,' Dr. Johnson, accompanied 'by the
late Lord Stowell, `ventured to the principal
scene of the ravages. "1,),n. Wednesday,"
says Johnson,. " I walked' 'With Dr. Scott to

held in trembling awe by a handful of cut
throats, and thirty-six millions at the present
day are governed not more by the living arm
of Louis Napoleon, strong and skillful as it
is, than by theblhody ghost Cf Robespierre,
mounting guard by the side of a vissionary
guillotine. .
, Wherever the leyafieeple Of any , portion
of the South can show their feelings with safe
; ty ,at the time, or . with reasonable assurance
1 of continued protection, there .is loyalty
i onough. All along the banks of the Ten

the inhabitants sent off the boat from their
plantations, and wept with joy atthe sight of
,the old flag. On my recent tour in the West,
