ghe gaintig "Con yo Help us a Bit ?" The following stirring appeal in behalf of the dis tressed operatives in Lancashire, has been addres sed to the workingmen of Victoria, by Mr. W. Stitt Jenkins, of Geelong: A " Lancashire Lad" has been writing Long letters at home to the Press— He tells how America's fighting Has plunged , in the direst distresti The men and the women and ehildren— The hands of the mill and the pit; Heart-broken and famished they wander, And cry " con yo help us a bit 1" . No more at the bell's ohery ringing We hurry away to the mill; At our labor no longer we're singing, The loom and the shuttle are still ; Lord, lead us - not into temptation, To Thee, in our sorrow, we cry, 0 stretch forth Thine arm o'er our nation, Send succor, or thousands must, die. Con help us a bit" oh our brothers - Who far from old England have - fled Con ye help the poor fathers and mothers, And children that perish for bread? Con yo help us across the, wide ocean, For-all kinds of work we are fit; Nit; ftiendi,*with the wildest emotion, " We cry, " Con yo help ns a bit?" We are willing to work—oh I how willing ! But work can no longer be had; And gone is our very last shilling, And hunger is driving us mad. Ah I think of our sad desolation, And say can you help us to flit Vroni wretchedness, woe, and, starvation— " Con yo help us," dear sisters, .a bit ? To you, oh, our sisters we're crying— Oen you spare some help from your store'? Alas ! we are starving and dying, And your eyes shall behold us no more. Ah 1 &ay, eau you revel in riches, Or peacefully sleep on your bed, While thouunds ,o f Lancashire witches Aro begging for morsels of bread ? , Is it true—the fine tales they are telling Of rivers and mountains of gold ? And that in the land where you're dwelling Is room for the youvg,and 'the old ? That there / in contentment reoliding, Each man 'neath his fig-tree may sit, While we with grim hunger are pining ? Oh I try; " Con yo help us a bit ?" The Melbourne Herald, mentioning that these lines were stuck up in some of the shop windows of that town, the shopkeepers undertaking to receive subscriptions, relates, the following incident therea nent , A poor woman rushed into a first-class shop, with bare arms, her dress tucked up, and with bucket and sOrubbing-brush in hind, after reading Mr. Stitt Jenkins' lines, and entreated the lady in attendance, for God's sake, to allow her to " help theirs a bit" with her last half crown, which she had only just then earned. Instances of the-like with regard to the shilling subscription have been mani fold. Their name is " legion." Audi in ome cases, there has.bean much hunting fbr the desiderated small coin as for ThomaS Hood's " last shilling." This speaks volumes for the sympathy of the class. It shows that they do. not rest satisfied with a mere --" God help the poor t but that they are ready "fo holpp theta themselves to the utmost of their abil- Recorder, Liadon. Till FIRST COMMANDMENT WITM Doe go on the river tonight, ;Tames," said widow Bright to her son, a few weeks ago. • " Because it is unsafe. The. weather has been mild for several days; and I have my self heard the ice crack , two-or three times, although it is a half :a ; mile away." "Pooh, mother, you women are such scary creatures. Why Dick Colton and I skated there all the afternoon; and the ice was as strong as a bridge." • " But my son it has been growing all the while under the warm wind; and you cannot see, this dark evening, to avoid the thin places." " Just one hour, mother." , " Not one moment, my son," " Hye diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle —tied to my mother's apron strings, " shout-. ed Harry ; very red i% the face ; an rushed out of the room, banging the door after him. " 0 dear ' " sighed good Mrs. L'right, as she, leaned her head thoughtfully upon •• her hands. A tear or two trinkled 'through her clasped fingers,. and she, looked, a! she sat there, like a very care-worn; aUxious mother. And so she was. .ghe was a widow, and Har ry bar only child. He was a bright-faced boy of thirteen, quick-witted, impulsive, and kind-hearted.. But oh, he, was so daring, so impetuous, so self-willed. He loved his me Cher dearly ; but he 'loved his own way bet ter. He would do much, very much, for her comfort; but he would do a great deal more for the carrying out of any wild plan of his own. ' .% His mother saw,his faults. She reasoned with him, plead with him, and what was far better, prayed for him. She was cheered tao by firm hope; for bright, from out the mire and dirt of the boy's nature, shone that purest of gems, Truth. There are a great many boys like Harry Bright, Rurhaps one' of them is just <now reading this story. Well, Id 6 not care liow sparkling your faCe is, how quick your brain is ; , if 7011 .1 apkexer:wiltd.te your gentle mo ther, `Yen ever „give - her` sad moments, or bring to 'ars so ow terrier eyes, you ave a bad spot in, your heakit ;: and every time. you grieve her you forfeit'one more claiit to God s glorious promise. .f: Harry did not feel just right, when he got out of doors. The evening was quite diric ; but the AY was thickly studded with stars, ..end the air was soft and balmy. It was' in deed just such an evening as would ordinar ily have set Harry's brain all a-glow with bright ~dreoins. But on this evening it was. altogether otherwise. He stole up to the window and, peeped in ; then sat down on the end'of the.doorstone, leaned his head on his hands, just as his mother was doing inside, and began , • to cry. He was listening to his good angel then ; and had nothing ,untoward happened, he , would probabiy have, gone in, asked his mo ther's forgiveness,and passed a happy evening _ with her. But just as Harry was making up his mind so to do, there came a shrill whistle at the garden gate. It was Dick -Colton, calling, him to the skating-ground. Harry gave no answer; but drew his sleeve quick ly, two or, three times across his eyes. Dick whistled once more; and then came to the corner of the house and peeped round. "Hal loa, there," he shouted, ." are you asleep or dead? Come, there are half dozen snore boys "sow' g on to tlie river, and we shall have cap-. ital fun." "I can't," said Harry; faintly. "Can't, repeated Dirk, coming up to him ; " What do you mein ? Been crying too, bet a'six pence. Ha l ha, that's good one. IVlymo titer said you shan't go, and I said. I will. DIM Come boobaby, scut your mother's apron strings and run."' Harry did not relish being called a booba by. His cheeks grew as red as his eyes ;he breathed quick, clinched his fists, and would have struck Dick, had not that artful boy turned the tide by a touch of flattery. 44 It 18 too bad though, Harry, that such a, good-natured, fellow and capital. skater as you are, can't have a little fun, now and then of an: evening." Now Harry, like the rest of you boys, liked to be called a good-natured fellow ' and liked Dick,at the' time, for doing it. So Har ry parleyed awhile with the tempter ; and then did what people always do, who parley with sin; he made a compromise with Dick, and concluded to go down to the river side and look on, • Whilst the other boys , skated. .Another breach of God's command another . forfeiture of the glorioui promise. Dick Col ton and the rest of the boys strapped on their skates and started off in fine style. Harry took Dick's shawl and spread it out at the foot of, the great elm Aree, which overhung the river, and sat down upon it. Hellooked up. Through the leafless brandies theaky shone . blue and clear, ,begemmed with stars. Way up and down the bank, as far as he could see, little biishes nudged and crowded each other, and leaned far over on to the fro zen stream. very pleasant river bank they had al ways made for him before; but now they grew weird and grim,. in • the dim light ; and the tall forest beyond them. was full of gloom. The boys lad gone far down the river •• and Harry grew so very, lonely, he thought could not stand it any longer, and' had just made uphis mind to go home to his mother, when he was startled by a crackling of the bushes behincl' him.' It was only Dick Col , ten's dog, however, that jumped, out of the underbrush on to Harry's neck, and began to wag .his as,much as to say, " you are not such a bad boy after all.' Harry' was glad just then to have the caresses of any living thing; so he hugged the dog, until he barked for. pain. Suddenly there came up the river a shriek, so clear, so shrill and wild. Harry started up in terror. akacing towards ,him, for dear life, he-saw five boys. Where was the sixth'? • " 0, come quick," they shouted to Hurry, "Dick will drown, He has broken through the ice. 0, do come." , • Harry was a .quick-witted boy. '':Your skates," he called to, the smallest;boy. They were off and buckled on again in a twinkling. Harry snatched the shawl, and.in less time thah I am writing this, was far down' the river. '`Stop, stop," screamed the boy behind him; "there he is. You will be in after him." And so he might, had not the .stalwart fel low caught Harry by the arm, and thrown him somersault upon the ice. The thin crust cracked beneath them and they were obliged to creep very carefully. Poor Dick was in a fearful plight. Yet Providence had given him a fragile hold upon life.,' In an autumn gale, a tall tree had been dislodged from the shelving shore, 'and had fallen into the stream, which was here both broad and deep. Upon the outermost.branch of this tree, slen der and frail, Dick supported himself. He did not try tnreach the ice; for he kiiew that it would break off-at his touch; , so that his only hope lay in the overhanging tree. He was a wise,bpv to pp, d..f• sham brave HAY ,----fvho (ill just what you must doin a like" trial. He crept as near the hole as be durst, and laid fiat Upon the ice,; then lie made anotheAstout.boy down behind him and take hold of his heels. Thereupon .he threw a corner of the shawl to. Dick, who by the help of that, made out to roach th&fiim trunk of the tree, upon which he easily clam bered on tnthe stronger ice. There was ne more skating that night. Dick's little dog clapi?ed his tail between his legs, and walked behind his drenched master, whining piteously. Harry, sobered and sad dened, went straight home, and laid open his heart, to his mother. "oif it had been me,. dear mother," said he, " how I should have thought of my unkindness to your. Can I ever treat youso again ?" "God helping you; my son, you will not," said the, widow, her eyes filling with tears. And Harry did, I trust, thereafter, try to fulfill the hill meaning of that, holy command ment with promise. I wish 'too, that Dick Cotton's heart had been washed clean brthat' cold river; but poor Dick 'was but a sorry, fellow at best. He was laid up a roug,tiine with a fever, brought on by the, -exposure of that night, and for more than' a year.,•was barely able to hobble about. When I last saw him he had jilat 4hinped on board of a' merchantman, boundfor More than one praying mother holds the; poor waif in. , remembrance , ., , and have' strong-faith. of good news of him some 414. • Honor thy father and mother, Which is the first commandment with Proinise.—Studiytt' and Schoolmate. • MDIISTEBS' SON IN TELWAR.

They were confined in filthy cells, but finally were paroled, and traveltd,2pn foot, 300 miles They:reached St. Louis in rags and worn down to skele tons. Many•of them were barefooted, and left their blood in their footprints. My son is now daily afilieted with ague and fever. I mention these facts to show how some of your missionaries are connected with the war. Our convention (Lemonweir)' Met, on the 19th ult., at Tomah, Monroe county, near 70 miles west Of this place. Four of our number have seven sons in the army of the Union. * One, Rev. J. ' W. Perkins has all his children, three sons, in the war. Two of them have fatailies, and all have farms left in his care, and he is in, feeble,health.` Rev. S. A. Dwinnell has two sons in the service. [The second is from Rev. J. Scotford of the same State.] Of late a second heavy draft has beon iiiade upon the yodng the of -my parish, in response to the President's call for 300,000 additional volunteers. -Eight, in all, ,of- our finest young men, have answered to the dull, and some of them members of my chtirch. My two eldest sons—twin brothers—nOt yet' twenty years of age, have also answered to, that call, and have volUnteered. One of them was,preparing to enter Olivet. College, this fall, but,his own,personal interests, with. those Of his brother, were laid aside, and, at the call Of their imperilled country, they' have-,rushed to the rescue, and with-noble enthusiasm went, off singing-- - "We are coming, Father Abraham, Three-handred thousand more? [The last is from-Rev. Hodges of 'Eli "nois.] My health has beeit'geod, and . I have `found myself able to labor beyond my TX pectations, but the times are - gloomy, , and , my heart is heavy and sad. What a; terrible harvest are we reaping ! I think I infOrmed yowthat I had a son in the army. Ha ifell in that'awful fight at Shiloh. After a con `test of about two hours, _and while his regi ment were still maintaining their first line Of battle,-.a eaniSter shot passed throUgh brain. This was on Sunday morning, and; yet he lived in'his agony till about two o'clock of Wednesday. Poor boy ! How manytimea has my anguished heart said;: ":Would to God I had died for thee !" He was braVe, and, every way, a good soldier. Of his corn ,y fifty-six . , panrobust Men took their Placcs in line that, morning, and only fifteen ,of them passed through that awful , day Un harmed. The mantle of . the - departed one seems 'to hare fallen upon a younger brother —my youngest son—a youth of nineteen, and he is now a volunteer ;in camp. Still another son informs me that he has been offered :the , poit of. adjutant in 'one . of the regiments now forming, and thinks he shall accept. In the present imperilled state of our 'country when a son says - to me, " Father shall I` go'?"' how can' I'say ? And yet I can not tell you how it . wrings and tears my heart to say, ,Yes., Lortillantste, OPINIONS OF 'PIM inmoits PiiESS iON ,THE %LATE' EIiECTIOATS: IT is to be borne in mind, that the leaders of the winning . party have, been ,compelled profess themselves ; in favor of the vigoroui prosecution of the war, and of the stern sup= presSion'of the rebellion by force of arms, of no compromise with treason,.andof no coun tenance to fraud and peculation. - The nation and history will hold them to their pledges: Most of them have boasted of their zealoui efforts in promotion of enlistments, of their liberality in donations =for 'fitting out regi ments, or for the relief of sick and wounded soldiers. There was not a leading candidate among the WhO'da:red`tOa4OW his readiness to - alter. the ConititUtion for the sake of bringing back ,Davis and Floyd and Toombs and 'Stephens into power. `at Whshington. Not one of the candidwtes now ventures to raise his voice in favor of dissolving the Union )1: acknowledging the independence . of the revolted States. They profess to have won their victory by the superiority of their devotion to the Union, the Constitution, and the Enforcement of the Laws. The enemies of the Union, both in England ausLat_the. South, will fund themselves woefully deceived TaTy ttiti'llattbring solace to their hearts, that the Union of this grearnation' is any the less certain to be preserved, or the rebellion 'aiiyihe lest certain to be thorough ly suppressed,' or the:leaders of treason any: the - less sure of reaping their, meritedlreward' of ignominy and the 'general 'execration of mankind. :Neither. tnartve forget that the present $ "disastra* reault would have been mostly averted, could' the will of our brave armies ,have been made known at the ballot-box. The ficts , 'and: testimdnies which 'have been collected from,ditferentAnarters make it cer tain that, if the soldiers could have voted in , the districts where they have their hom, respectively,` the Republican ticket Would have been successful in every State, and in nearly every congressional district of the West and of this State, outside at least Of f.h the great cities. They will remembeere'- - , after who have said, "We will not send out. sons into the army, and then dishearten them at the ballot-box." It remains to say, that the National Ad ministration has now a glorious opportunity to redeem itself, and to push forward its proper work of suppressing the rebellion i and _ restoring the Union.
