HATRED is the feeling of 'the heart that leads to the commission of murder; and whenever you hate any one, you have so.far the feelings of a murderer., It, `may he so intense as to lead you to go and, kill him ; but if you continue to hold those feelings of enmity, they may end in murder. It is not necessary for you actually to kill a person 'to become a murderer in- God's sight. When ever you have snoha feeling of hatred as leads you to wish 'a man dead, then you are a murderer at heart. I have often heard little boys and girls say, "I will kill you," or "I -wish you was dead." That is the feeling of a murderer, and a direct breach of this Commandment. And suppose you were to see a little boy fallen into the water 'and drowning, and you had it in your power to pull. him out, and yet refused to do it, you would be justly chargeable with his death. Or if you should see some one about to be murdered ) and you could warn him to,escape, but did not do it, you would be guilty of his death. When the great book establishment of the Messrs., Harpers, in the city of New York, took fire in 1858, and one of the brothers was asked by_ the firemen. "_What—Part-of the property 'shall we Woe first ?" heprompt ly and nobly replied, "Save the lives. About six hundred persons. were employed at the time in the various buildings .of the es tablishment, all of ithom -were saved, by the most earnest exertions, of the firemen, from an awful death. Had Mr. Harper said, " Rush into my office first, and save my books and money," as many a one would, and left men and women to perish, would he not have been guilty of murder ? A little boy was oile day walking along the'sidewalk of one of our large cities,where some, very smooth ice wag covered with a thin layer of snow, when he fell down very hard. Asl4 Was limping away from the place he met can old man, and said to him, " Take oareit sir, when you get to that tree:box there is very smooth ice there, and I got 'a bad fall." The old man thanked the boy, and said, " God bless you." . In another city, opposite to an alley where the water had run out and formed very smooth ice, some bad boys saw an old woman com ing alang, when they said to one another, "Let us throw some snow on the ice, and we willlave the fun of .:'seeing the old woman fall.!! • She did fall, and broke her leg. Now look at the contrast : the first boy obeyed this Commandment to thi3 letter,'the others- broke it ; and if the old woman had died, they would have been accountable for her death. Everything you do to injure another, in person or character, is a breach of this Com mandment ; and the feeling that prompts you to do it is, just as far as it goes, the ,feel ing of a murderer. Some boys and girls are spiteful ; they are unwilling to forgive those that offend them, and are all the 'time watching for an opportunity to take 'revenge. This,' dear children,• is the very spirit of the devil; and the more . you harbor 'that spirit the mere, you are like the devil, who was a murderer from "the, beginning. 'lndeed, I have no 'doubt that his nialiee against God for tim ing him out ofdteaven was one thing ; hat, led him to seek the destruction of our first pa rents. I beseech you to, banish from, your mind at once all revengeful feelings. "Ven- Leance is mine ; I will repay," saith the ord. If any one do.es you harm unjustly, it is usually best to leave the matter with ;God. If you are obliged to defend yourself, ,do t it by some lawful mode, and be careful not to show the same evil disposition ~that he did who wronged' you. The only safe ire venge is, to do your enemy a good turn for, an Mil one; "in so doing thou shalt heap coals 'of fire on his head," or melt him' by your kindness as gold is melted the fire. A neighbor once shot some 'fine hogs, of mine that broke lift) his field. This wanton mischief roused` xnyindignation, and I deter mined while I was in a passion to shoot as many belonging to him. Not - many days.af ter, his hogs got into my field. I took down my gun, and started to take revenge upon them; but on my way to the field the words of God came to mind, " Vengeance is mine; I willsepay, saith the Lord." I instantly went home and laid by the gun. In a few months all hogs took the sore throat and died. So did God visit him in his righteous provi dence. `."FILL NE WilTlf Tlff 'Hai SPIRIT." One pleasant day in spring, Anna Gray was spending the afternoon with her friend Julia Brown, They had always loved each Other, but now more than ever t for both hop ed that they hafiteeentlylecothe Christians,. and they were•very Itapnyinbtitilking 'of their • precious .Savieur, and holv they could best serve him. As they, sat together, Julia's aunt Ellen came to them, and asked them to go into her room for a few moments. They followed her, and when she had spoken to them very kindly of their newly found hap piness, she said to Anna, "Anna, what do you pray for most frequently during the day ?' "For strength' to do my duty and to re; , . silt -temptation," she replied. " That is right my dear," said Miss Brown; "it is an excellent prayer, and one which you cannot use too often." Then turning to Julia„ she, asked'ilie "Saine question. " I pray for the Holy Spirit," she, answered. Her aunt said, ".Little'Johnny Sherman was with me one evening last week,, and he asked me to tell'him sotne short prayer 'which he could offer at any time. I suggested this : ' Fill me with thy Holy Spirit.' He seemed very much pleaied with it ; andwhen I'passed the house this afternoon, he ran out, saying, Oh, Miss Brown, that is such a beautiful prayer. I prayetit all the way home the other night, and i have used it very often since, and I do believe God answered it.' Just think how much it includes. You remember that Jesus said, If ye then, being evil, know holv_to give good gifts unto our children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him.' So you may be sure that your prayer 'Will. be ans wered if you ask, sincerely desiring . .it. The Spirit of God is everything to us. We can do nothing without it. I am,very glad that you pray for it, and I hope that you will do. so constantly." Then Miss Brown, pray, with Anna. and Julia that they might receive the Holy Spirit, and doi every thing for the glory of God. As they left the room, Anna said,: "Is not that a beautiful prayer ? I wish we could offer it ourselves. Can we not have a little meeting together now ?, After 'that she went home. When they met the - next - day, almost the first thing which Julia said was, "Have you used, that prayer to-day?" ".Oh yes," replied. Anna. " I prayed, 'Fill me with thy Holy Spirit,' all the time while I was drawing the baby this morning, and I shallnever forget it." If we are filled with the Spirit we shall do mach for Christ` here. Let us pray very often for that bles sing.—Child's Paper. THE EXERCISE OF PARENTAL AUTHOR T IT Y. PIOUS mother' in New England had a large family of children committed to, her charge, most of them boys. She felt her, rv,- sponsibiliV-Very deeply. In her immediate neighborhood was a village noted ,for its wickedness,—a village where Satan's seat was,—a village inhabited by children and others who were corrupters—a village where many Made theniselves vile without restraint, and were utterly ruined under the influence of street education. A chief end with this . pionamother was to shield her childr6 from the contaminating influence of that village r to keep them from those evil and corrupting communications which prevailed in the street. And this she accomplished, not by the exercise of naked authority, net by the force of bare prohibition, but by laboring to render their horde pleasant wad ..g.t.traetiv ,,, by rendering-the-at,traptione of home more powerful' than those of the street. Hei'ingenuity was tasked"tiaelise ways and means' of renderinOome,so agree, able that her children would have no' ceasion or wish to seek gratification elsewhere. And her wise plan, prayerfully and perseveringly executed, was successful. She had the sat isfaction of seeirt all those children hopeful ly converted, and three of them labor suc cessfully as preachers of the Gospel. But parental authority must be maintained and wisely exercised. The example , of Abra ham, as the head of a family, is specially commended of God, and held up for imitation by all parents. God knew him, that he would command his children and his household after him ; that he would do this in such's way that they should keep the way of the Lord= to do justice and judgment, and thus secure to themselves the fulfilment of all the promi ses of God to Abraham. Those promises were to Abraham and his seed. But they were conditional. The condition of the bles sings to his posterity was that they should keep the way of the Lord. And God knew and approved' Abraham as one who would use all the power with which he was invested • to leave his children and his household to keep the way of the Lord. He knew that when wise counsel enforced by pious example failed to secure the end sought, that he would use authority. When advice proved insuf ficient,, he would"command. God has given the 'parent a claim to the obedience of the child, and holds him responsible for.enforcing that claim. And if. parental. authority be given up, all effort in the vvayof 'counsel- and instruction will,he.almost sure to fail. The child left to himself will bring his parents to , shame as surety as the sons of Eli did. They were left to make theinselv,es vile -without restraint, and they inouTushed to excesses ;of crime, involving-the' *held 'faun ly , in shame and ruin. All 'the father's efforts in' the way of tame remonstrance and expostulations were once his authority was lost 'He 'eould 'as easily liave inade the sun and moon stand still, or staid the hurricane in its' course, as he could check thlise wayward and: wicked sons, by expostulation merely. They' would not hear him. He had failed to chest= and subdue them while• there was hope. Now their case was hopeless. They were beyond his reach. And no parent who., has lost his authority,pver his household, can - do much for them in the way of instruction. Every child and youth needs restraint, as much as he needs food and raiment. And to deny him the one, jis no more cruel and, inju rious than to , deny him :the pother. The lit tle child, unrestrained, wAll thrust-his hand into•the fire, or phinge `down the fatal preci pice, or play with the rattlesnake, or eat poison -as soon as food. And during the pe riod of childhood and l youth, while the .judg thent is immature, anti the knowledge and experience very limited, the restraint of pa rental authority is needed ; is essential to the highest welfare of the child, for, this world, and the world to come.—Bosten .2?ec . order. 4.z, ,t'-, ':-., .. ~, . • u . , l ';' , -JO l iO-1044:1410-404Z DEVOTION AND HEROISM OF MON. , TRABAND: • AT the , bloody. battle ) ,of Fair ; Oaks ;VA.,. the rebels during .the . first day's fight drove Gen.

Pbr a long time the issue was doubtful. The line swayed to and fro.; 'but at last the Excelsior Brigade—the heroes of Williamsburg were ordered to charge. That charge is a matter of history. It gave to us the battle-ground of Fair Oaks. During the ,month of, June, that brigade held the groUnd they won, and : skirmishes with the rebels were of daily. occurrence: One afternoon word was sent to Gen. Sickles that the enemy was advancing in foree, and every preparation was at once made for battle. A few shots were heard from pickets but a few hundred yards in advance of our battery, and then all was quiet. What; meant that quietness''? , What were the reb els doing ? Several orderlies, sent out to the pickets, failed to bring any satisfactory in telligence. — Gen.. Sickles turned to 'Limit.. Palmer, one of his aids, and acting assistant: adjutant-general, and directed him-.to take a squad of cavalry and ride' cautiously out to the first bend in the road and communicate with our pickets. Palmer was a noble fellow—young, hand some, a perfect gentleman, a graceful rider, a gallant soldier. He was the pride of the brigade. - Forgetful of the caution given him, with the impetuosity, characteristic of` youth, he dashed forward. at a full gallop, with , saber drawnt— He came to the first bend in the road, and (fatal mistake) kept on. He dame to the second bend and as he, turned it, directly across the. road was! a company , of rebel infantry, drawn up .td re - delve They fired. 'One ball crashed through. that handsome face into: his brain, while another tore the arm that bore aloft his trusty blade.' The shots were heard, at the battery:; and in.a moment Palmer's riderless horse; bleed ing'from a woundin its neck, galloped from the wooda, followed by the squad of cavalry, who told to the General the untimely. fate of his aid. "Bhys," said the General to the veterans who. clustered around to hear the story, ‘.‘ Lieut. Palmer's body lies out in that koad. Not k word more' needed saying. Quickly the men fell in, and a general advance of the line was inade to secure it. Whilst the cavalry men were telling the story, a 'negro servant , of Lieut. Palmeriawas standing by , Unnoticed, he left the group; down that road—the Williamsburg turnink.e he went.; pasied our picket-line, and, alone. and unattended he*alked along that, avenue of death te so many, net knowing what moment he would he laid, low by a rebel bullet, or be made a prisoner, to undergo the still worse death a life of slavery. Upon the advance of our line, 'that faithful servant was found-by the side Of his dead master': faithful it life; and faithful sada all the hor rors o , , f the battle-field 7 --even in the jaws of death. None but those who knew the locality, the gallant men that Make up Tiooker's vision—can appreeiate the heroism that pos sessed that contraband: That road was lined with: sharpshooters-'a wounded man once Jay in it three' days, neither party daring rescue him. The act, of that heroic unknown (for :.I regret that I cannot recall his name): but faithful contraband, was one of the daring of the war and prompted by none - Other then the noblest feelings known to the iminan :breast-4 - nd. • ' WAR'FOR ALL tiNKIND.
