Fora) away your bright-tinted dresses, Turn the key on your jewels to-day, And the wealth of your tendril-like tresses Braid away in a serious way; Nu more delicate gloves, no more laces, No more trifling in boudoir or bower, But come with, your souls in your faces, To meet the stern wants of the hour. T.onk around. By the torch-light unsteady, The dead and the dying seem one— What 1 trembling and paling Ulready, Before your clear mission's begun ? '.these wounds are more precious than ghastly, Time presses her lips to each scar., While she chants of that glory which vastly Transcends all the horrors of var. Pr use here by this bedside. How mellow The light showers down on that brow ! Such a brave, brawny visage Poor fellow Some homestead is missing him now; Some wife shades her eye, in the clearing, Some mother sits moaning, distressed, W hile the loved one lies faint, but unfearing, With the enemy's ball in his breast. Here's another, a lad, mere stripling, Picked up on the field almost dead, With the blood through his sunny hair rippling From a horrible gash in the head.. They say he was first in the action, • Gay-hearted, quick handed and witty. lie fought till he dropped With exhaustion, At the gates of that far Southern city. Fought and fell 'neath the grins of that city, With a spirit transcending his yeart. Lift him up in your large-hearted pity, And wet his pale lips with your tears; Touch him gently—most sacred the duty Of dressing that poor shatteiod hand! God spare him to- rise in his beauty, And battle once more for his land ! Who groaned ? What a passionate murmur "In thy mercy, 0 God ! let the die 1" Ha I surgeon, your hand mustbe firmer— That musket ball's broken his thigh. Turn the light on those poor' fkirrowed-features, Gray-haired and unknown I blessthee,brether. 0 Heaven 1 that one of thy creatures Should e'er work such woe on another,' Wipe the, sweat from his brow with your kerchief, Let the old tattered collar go wido. see—he stretches out blindly to search if, , The surgeon still stands by his side. My son's over yonder—a rebel,' 'Twas—'twas his ball that entered intthigh. And again he bursts out all a-tremble, " In Thy mercy, 0 God ! let me die !" • Pasgon—it is useless to linger While others are claiming your care ; There is need for your delicate linger, For your womanly sympathy, there. There are sick ones athirst for caressing, There are dying ones raving of home, There are wounds to bind up with a blessing, And shpouds to make rea:4 for some. They have gathered about you the harvest Of death in its ghastliest view; The nearest, as well as the farthest, Is here with the traitor and true. And crowned with your beautiful patience, Made sunny with love at the hart, You must balsam the wounds of a nation, Nor falter nor shrink from your part. Up and down through the wards where the fever Stalks noisome, and gaunt, and impure, You must go with tour steadfast endeavor To comfort, to counseloto cure. I grant you the task's superhuman, But strength will be gi\'en to you' To do for these dear ones what woman Alone in her pity can do. And the lips of the mother will bless you, Our angel, sweet-visaged and pale! And the little ones run to caress you, And the wives and the sister's cry " hail ! " But e'en if you drop down unheeded, What,matter ? God's ways are the best. You have poured out your life where 'twasneeded And He will take care of the rest. WHO IS MY 'NEIGHBOR? " TEACHER," said a boy at a ragged s4thool, " can you tell me who is my neighbor ?" ".Why do you want to know that,William?" said the teacher, smiling. . "Because, sir, I have just been reading this chapter," William answered and he pointed to the Gospel of St. Luke, x. 27, flnd read the words, " Thou shalt love the lord thy God with all thy heart,' and with 11 thy soul, and ,with all thy strengtl4 and with all thy mind ; and thy neighbor as thy- Felf." . " Well, what troupes you in that, my Loy ? Which of these two commandments (10 you think it easiest to keep ? " " Why, sir, that is what I was thinking ~bout. Sometimes one does not feel to love God at all—one forgets, somehow ; but when one comes to think about God, and about his goodness,—how ho keeps us 'every moment of our lives,—above all i how he gave his Son to die for us,—why then—" " Well, my boy, what then ? " " Why then, sir, we feel that we ought to love God, bad as we are,—we can't help it; I can understand that commandment, sir; but I don't quite understand the other, about loving our neighbor as ourselves." " And why not ? " "Because my neighbors are very bad ones.. They fight, and drink, and use bad words. Do what I can, sir, I can't love them, and I don't like to keep company with them." " Do you think, William, that God gave us this commandment, knowing that we could not keep it ? ," " No, sir, I don't think that." " Well, let us consider how it is to be kept. First, do you think it would be right for you to keep company with the bad neighbors you have ? Think of some other text of Scrip ture that advises you ngaiust such compan ions." " Evil communications corrupt good man ners,' "*said William. " Go not in the way of evil men.' "t " Yes," said the teacher; "and, as Scrip ture cannot contradict itself, youtee that to love your neighbor as yourself, must mean something quite different to making compan ions and friends of those who quarrel and sight, and fear. not God. Well;'as it does not mean that, let us see what it does mean; let us see how our blessed Lord explains it. When the young man asked him the very same question you asked me, what did he answer ? " "He told' a. parable about a man being robbed and wounded by thieves, and hovi a priest and a Levite passed by without help ing him, - and how at last a poor Samaritan came and helped him." *1 Corinthians xv: 33. . t Proverbs iv: 14. And who did the young man think was neighbor unto him that fell among thieves ?" " The man that had pity upon him," said William. "Yes ; and does that show you who is our neighbor ? " " Any one, I think, that we can show pity and kindness to." " Just so," said the teacher. " Those bad people who are your neighbors in one way, because they live next door to you, should only be considered your neighbors in the gospel sense, When you can do them any manner of good, by word or by deed. ' Were you to seek theit , company while they were rioting in sin, or offending God by gross lan guage, you would break the Scripture pre cepts instead of keeino• them. But, if you saw them in misery o sickness, or suffering, \) you would obey the Gospel precept by going to them, and trying o relieve them. You would wish others . to a t thus by you, and by acting so, you would rove that you loved your neighbors, in the gospel sense, as your self ; because what yoh would desire to be done to yourself, you tied to do for them." ii "But I have nothing to give ; I could do little for any one_; so I on't know howl am ever to practise tlllat co mandment." "My boy," said the j teacher, "you have , doubtless often heard the saying, ;,'Where 1. now it there is a will there is a way.' You 'ow was the servant who only`teceived on talent who would not use it in Vra Lord's ervice. Now, it is likely you, have only got one ta lent to use in the way of prictising this com mandment; but, if so, remember to use it. You cannot do much, perhaps, in visiting the sick, or feeding the hungry, or clothing the naked; because you have barely food and clothing enough for yourself. But you can give a kind ward, instead of an thkind one ; you can set a good example, instead of a bad one ;; you can breathe a prayer, stead. of. i l lt uttering a reproach. Above all, emember that if you love Qrad. yourself, the est way to show love to your neighbor,is to e every means that may be in your power o make others love God also. So remember, my lad, that every one to whom we may o good, whom we can comfort, or relieve, or iiriprove, is our neighbor; that what we do, belt much or little, is accepted by Christ as th 4 cup of cold water given in the name of a disciple, provided it be done in love anti in faith, and for his sake ; that eyery time we refrain from speaking an ill word of any one, know ing that we should not wish any one to speak such tin ill word of us, we are trying, o prac tise the coinma•nd to love our neighbor as ourselves ; and every time we feel God's love, and goodness, and seek to bring ot'ers to feel the same, we are practising tba com mand just as much as, nay, a vast deal, more than if we gave all our goods to feed, the poor." A; It was long after this conversation that a circumstance-occurred which I will tell y William was pat to a trade;:he was at out-door apprentice. His parents - were poor but the boy had been. sent to school, and wa , able to read and write well. He had a Bible, which had been given to him as a reward for good conduct at the evening school, which he still went to. After the conversation I have related, his parents' observed that Wil liam was in greater haste to go out on even ings than he used to be. As soon as he came from work, he washed and cleaned himself,. took his Bible off the shelf, buttoned his coat over it, and went out. . They knew that it was too early to go to school, and besides that the school was not held every evening ; but yet every evening William took his Bible and went out. Curiosity led some one to watch 'here he went. He was followed; and where do you think he was found ? . • In a poor room in another street, a yOung ,girl lay dying of consumption; and William sat on a box in that rooni, reading the Bible to the dying girl, who could not read it for herself. He had wished to know who was his neighbor. He had found out one who was such. He had wished to practice the great commandment to love his neighbor as him - self; he h4d found a means of practising it. His Bible was dear to his own heart, and so he shared his treasure with-one who needed it. He knew that Christ spake the words of eternal life, and he took those words to the dying girl, that she might have hope in her latter end, because some of Christ's words of life are these :—" Come unto me, all ye that labor and are , heavy laden, and I will give you rest." "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whosoever believeth on him might not perish, but Gave exerlasting life." Thus did William try to practice what he knew. It is a sad thing to know, and riot Co prac tise; for he who knows his Lord's will, and does it not, shall be beaten with many stripes. It is still more fearful to know what is right, and continue to do what is wrong. if you have no other way of Showing that you hive your neighbor, you can show it in one of the best ways; that is, by a good example. And that is the way our Lord Jegus Christ'him; self pointed out, when he told his disciples to teach all men to glorify God by their good works. It is God alone who can enable us to do good, and to be good. If we seek the grace of his Holy Spirit, we can then hope to keep the two great commandments,—to love God with ill our soul, and mind, and strength ; and to love our neighbor' as our selves. WORDS' FOR WIPES. • nelieve the influence of a wife to be always, for good or for evil, very decided. There is not a woman living;'' unless she has forfeited all claim to her husband's respect, but is making her mark day by day upon his .character. We men are foolishly proud, and do not like to let the women see how they in fluence us, but we know that outside of our business—arid sometimes even in it—all our doings' are more or less controlled by our wives, and he is a knave who will not honestly own it. - Is it a disgrace to a man that he is kept at home, away from bad company, away from doubtful pleasures and foolish expense,. through his wife's influence ? SOme poor,, cowardly souls think so, and utter senseless' cries against her who, as a. guardian angel, stands between these and their victim. I think the wife was given to supply man with' certain things wanting in his Own .nature, and in yielding to her judgment, her opinion,* her desire—where these are on the side of truth and justice—he Only follows out the leading of a Divine will. But though the husband' hide it or deny it, let the good wife be of good cheer. One thing, however let her understand—worrying, fretting, fault finding, direct and frequent harra,ngues, ill tempered slurs, anything that looks like pas sion, suspicion, or jealousy, will do no good. These are things.a manca,nnot bear, and have driven many into the things they were ia tended to prevent.

Let her know that the strongest influences are those which are silent and indirect, that it is impossible for her to be in the right, gently, patiently, consistently, without its being felt. , It may not be acknowledged to day or to-morrow, or ever ; it may not do all that she hoped it would do. Counteracting influences may be too strong fOr that, but it is felt among the deepest 'and last things of life, even when he jeers, and scoffs, and strikes. Monthly Religious Magazine. WISHING FOR A NEW HEART. " WiIAT do you wish for most, Jessie ? " I one day asked. - The sick child gazed earnestly at me, her countenance flushed, her eyes filled with tears. She hesitated, and whispered, "A new heart." It was with deep joy I gazed upon, that poor emaciated child. I felt the dawn had indeed arisen. I saw, in her not only a lamb whom the Saviour was carrying in his arm§ from amidst the thorns and brivs of earth to the green pastures and still waters of heaven, but the much longed-for first-fruits of our podr labors—a seal that these labors were not unowned by Goel--a pledge that his blessing was resting over us, and a precious incentive to unWearying, persevering work. I never saw Jessie again, as , a few days afterwards the much-desired time of deliver ance arrived. Her nearest relativfis assem, bled in a little group by her bed, to await the moment when the struggling spirit would be at rest. Those who have stood by the death-beds of believers must have noticed, in many in stances, the fulfilment of the Promise, " At evening time there shall, be light . ; " and in several instances, even more than this, how that to some is apparently given a glimpse of the approaching glory ore they leave the body. In Bunyan's beautiful allegory, the pil grims dwelt a few days in the' land of Beu lah before they crossed the river. Agonizing pain prevented any resting in Beulah for Jessie, but it seemed as if a glimpse of the celestial' gates had been given her. She was lying quiet and still—the conflict was apparently over when suddenly it seemed that some sound had caught her. She listened, and eagerly, joyfully exclaimed, "Yes, lam coming now 1 " One or two more breathings fainter and fainter— all was still. * . itoir:cl44 . aittgao . .. LOOKINGS-ON AT THE • WAR.

It was an • cstacy of a June sunset ; and the mind which thought 'to be the most self-possessed. in • r country, as well as the most hard-worked a d sorest.tried, was . taking 3 its half-hour of r...- aXition.

He dresses scrupulously well, 100 ing li a respectable professor of a New-E 1 gland °liege. With bared head and his s aw ha in his hand, he pours forth a fervent utteran e of incoherent prayers and vociferatilns, npl Ling his arms continually, as if in the *act, of enedietion or supplication, and walking fast or 814ter, as his excite ment varies.

In a small church at. a little village near, Brighton, where the congregation could not afford to pay an organist, tney recently bought a self-aiting organ, a compact instru ment, well suited to the purpose, and con structed, to play, forty different tunes. The sexton had instructions how to set it going and how to stop it ;,but unfortunately he for got the latter part of his bUsiness, and after singing the first four verses of a hymn be fore the sermon, the organ could not be stop ped, and it continued playing two verses more. Then, just as the clergyman complet ed the words, "Let us pray," the organ clicked, and started a fresh tune. The min ister sit it out patiently, and then renewed his introductory words, "Let us pray," when click: went the organ again, and 'started off on another tune. The Sexton and others con tinued their exertions to find ,out the spring, but no man could put a stop to it; so they got four of the stoutest men in the church to shoulder the perverse instrument, and they carried it out down the centre aisle of the church; playing away into the churchyard, where it ,continued - clicking and playing away until the whole forty tunes were finish ed. . • Let love prompt all our actions.

So rapid was the progress of the flames, before we could reach the store, the whole interior was one mass of fire. The Safe being in the back_ art of the store, arid surrounded by the most combustible materials, was exposed to great heat. It fell with the walls of that part of the'building into the cellar, and remained ins bedded in the ruins for more than thir ty hours. The Safe was opened this morning in the presence of a number of gentlemen, and the contents, comprising our books bills, receivable money, and a large amount Of valuable papers, are all safe; not a thing was touched by lire. • Respectfully, yours, THEO.
