BY ELEANOR C. DONNELLY.
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. She lacks judgment and

prudence who shall .ever indulge in these.
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

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.

LOOKINGS-ON AT THE • WAR.
SEEING President Lincoln and a"crazy
man meet and take a good look at each other,
in the grounds of the White - House, a few
days since; I was reiriindPd how thinas im
prove by contrast, or (artistically speaking)
are made to stand out by the retievo of their
opposites, in this world of ours. 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. With Mrs. Lincoln, deep-veiled
in er mourning -weeds, <at his side, and his
younaest boy playing before him in the path,
" ol4Abe " was loitering around the lawn in
the midst. of which plays the perpetual foun
tain ; awl, with his ' calm enjoyment, of all
, bout him, lk really seemed quite the mon
, rch of the world. ,So ' at least, thought a
• autiful and ,thoughtful woman, mho looked
him I'l'4 one of the stone seats on the
% 01l shadil with shrubbery; but, as, she
de the revark, out came, a maniac from a
et , nip of pines, and the two met upon the
gl4 vel-path—more of a tableau vivant than
ei )ter of them thought .I.
he madman I speak of, by the way, is
pill' ably a victim of the war. lie has been
krt, 'n for seine weeks in Wa.shingtori, and
bpi' :, apparently quite harmless in his vag,a
ries, Ts left-bythe police to ramble where he
pleas's. The grounds of the Presidential
\ e
mans, in and th avenues around the public
offices .re hisiavorite haunts, and here he
may b met, any day, with his crowd of cu
rious f% lowers, at his heels. He is a man
of abou 4 fifty years of t age, with a, very intel
lectual %, st of Countenance, and hair slightly
tinged v th. graY. 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. Th boys aid negroes treat
him with respect, the ladies make way for
him with the deferential pull-skirt of civility,
the humane stop ad listen and look Wonder
ingly after him. r he poor lunatic's counte
nance evidently ma es friends for him every
where. Audit is 0 rious, that, if courteously
addressed, he' chan es his excited tone and
1
talks rationally' or a momentor two. In one
of these lucid iilterVals, he' infornied us that
he canie fp:an-the State of Maine, and had
sons in,one of the volunteer regiments. •
The President paused a moment in his
walk to ,look after „the poor maniac; and
(with the vast responsibility which now rests
upon Mr. Lincoln's Shoulders, and the wis
dom with which he answers to it) the contrast
was strong!—N. P. Willis.
AN.UNMNAGEABLE ORGAN.
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. . •

"No party until We 'have a 'country," was
the language of a distinguished ex-Governor,
an ex-'Minister of Mr. Buchanan, an intimate
friend and ardent admirer oflSenator Doug

gratulations of his fellow-citkzens when ap
pointed by a Republican Go raor to fill a
Senatorial chair vacated by t e expulsion of
a treason, sympathizer. It is a noble senti
ment. There is one work 11 W befOre US ;
viz., the overthrow of the rebellion, and the
re-establishment of the 'Union: Until that

GisirrsvwFN:—We have recovered the Herring's
F'atent Champion Safe, of your make. which we bought
from you nearly five years ago, from the ruins of our.
building, No. 716 Chestnut street, which was entirely
.lestroyed by fire on the morning of the 17th inst.'
. 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. H. P.ETERS & CO.
The above Safe can be seen at our store, where the
public are invited to call and examine it.
