You remember last February, how we in the North ‘ were almost buried alive in the deep snow-drifts, and how the little children I wondered if the sky were falling, and. asked if all those snow-flakes came out of the very heaven where the angels are." But in the " sunny South" the weather was as mild as May, and. a Northern news paper seemed like a voice from a snow-drift, snd almost set the people'to shivering. Down in Tennessee there lived a lad named William Haynie, a noble,'handsome •youth, the only 'earthly comfort of his widowed another. One of those bright, balmy mornings in February, he Stood at the little cottage-• door, whistling like a mocking-bird, while his mother cut slices of cold bacon, "hoe-cake," and peaoh-,pie s to put in his tin pail, for he was .going, into the forest, as panel, to chop wood. " There, there ". cried Willie, as he saw the last morsel , going in; "I don't want my bucket 'so full as that I And you haven't loft a speck for. yourself !" " ho* do you knowlvhat I may have in the cupboard ! ' said his mother gayly. "Nothing more than cold corn-dodgers, ./ know," replied the boy. "Mother, 11l tell you what ir is, if I. adz% know that Jeff. Davis was, a scamp, and the war an awful sin, I'd like to join the army and get a little money. It would be rather comfortable to be sure of, enough to eat !" " mysop " cried his mother, "before I ,Itotikl havel' you take up arms against this blessed Government, I would starve to death yoa know I, 4'h She sitoke With earnestness e g, as only those can. speak who have seen the wolf at their doors. " Starve ! " echoed 'Willie with flashing ales; "you don't deserve my father's name if you wouldn't starve a thousand times be fore you'd see, me turn traitor ! "I never was afraid of your doing it, Wil lie;" said his mother prondly "1 am thank ful., tfist you oan be an honest boy these hard times, 'and still earn the salt in your 'pox ridge.". "Earn the salt in case I like my porridge rather , Asik!'-sp.i&Wlßif**Ughing.;but lesqlighztlit4l .1 1: ( Wast 0ff . 4%-44-lay f ii- *irk. Good-bye, mother." • " Good-bye, Willie dear," said Mrs. Hay nie, kissing his forehead. She stood' in the aoorway, watching fain as lie went in and out among the .tall trees; and long after his handsome figure was out of. sight, she stood there still, thanking God that, poor and hum ph, as, she was, she had such a treasurh in her boy. Poor mother ! she did not know what trouble .that fair day held for her! 'The air was so' still, and the sky so . soft, that you might fancy the sun to be walking in his sleep; writing his dreams on the idle, fleecy clouds. After musing for, a while, the ' lonely woman went slowly into the house, smiling as if some one had, been whispering pleasant: things in her ear. All the way to the forest,'Willie whistled and sang patriotic tunes, winding 4 off with ,a few words he had caught' somewhere,, aria relished exceedingly " W4ll hang Davis ta.Asour-appleatreey!' *c. 1 NAThat , that •you're*singin'g ? " cried a, ed voice elm to his ear. Y*You might as well hush your mouth—pretty quick, too ! " Wait a minute, and give you the rest," said Willie, nothing daunted. " I'd like the chance of singing it before the bogus President of your sham Confederacy : g We'll hang Jeff. Davis to a sour----- " Say that again," shouted the stranger, "and you shall see sears." PHands off!" cried Willie ; "J don't say die while :there is any chance of living ►." But the man only laughed in his face, and looking about him, Willie saw that a small band of , men in uniform were close at hand. "Peaceably, if you will; forcibly, if we must," said the first man. "In the name of President Davis, I command -you to , enlist in out army. Do you, of your -good free will, volunteer as. private in Company Regiment ? " " I do not," said Willie, looking firmly Into the soldier's eyes, which'were grey, and cold, and hard`, as if they had been cut out of granite. " Come, come," said one of the others, "doii't fly into a passion, my lad and nobody will harm you." " I'm not in, a passion," said Willie, "but I hope I've got spunk enough to hold on by my country. God bless the Federals, I say! They are trying to stand up for the good old Stars and Stripes, and I'll never shoot a Fed eral while my name is William Haynie !" "Poh! poh ! You've talked about enough for a young scamp that has got to feif his words,l Come on, sir ; march 1" 'With desperate eourage? Willie fonght against his fate; but what could a slender youth. do , against ten Wong men ? They, may lead me into battle, but.they can't make me fight," muttered the lad be tween his 'teeth. 'l've passed my word, and my word As as good as an oath, that never shoot d- -Federal I" Willie was closely - guarded that night. He felt like a Wild beast in, a cage ; = but knowing how uselesS Wore words, or sighs, or tears, he kept his heart "under look and key." Think of the agony uf Muth patience ! When his sense of justice was rebelling against the wrong, done him .1 When his poor heart was crying out, " 0 mother I mother !" For well the boy knew how the long days and nights were ooming,'whO, the desolate woman would cry : , " I hate naebody now—l ha'e naebody now, '1 1 4:) clasp at my bosom at even; O'er his calm sleep to breathe ont a vow, • An' pray for the blessing of Ilemcen." Before long came on the battle of Shiloh. True to his word, Willie did not fire, though he loaded his gun every time the order was ' given, till his barrel *as nearly full of charges. This conduct could not long escape the notice of the captain. He had heard of William's vow, without'supposing for a mo ment that he would have the fortitude to keep it. "You yilung traitor I" cried he ; " you' miserable dog ! What do you mean by dis obeying orders Take that !" levelling his gun, .and shooting him 'down on the spot. , He was not killed; the ball lodged just above the right knee, breaking the bone, and probably, if a surgeon had been at hand, his young life might hive been spared. But he lay on the field till thefilose of the fight, and when the wounded rebels fell into our hands, he was among them, and was hurried into a boat, azid sent down the •river, to •Eyansville, Indiana. . After reaching the hospital at Evansville, he was immediately taken in charge by a good physician, and tenderly cared for by kind and noble women, who devoted them selves to the care of the wounded men. The wife of one of our soldiers, who came on the same boat, told the boy's sad history, and every loyal heart was moved to the deepest pity and interest. The secession sympathizers, it is true; when they:visited the hospitals of that city, would be very attentive to the wounded reb els; but when they, heard William Haynie's story, they turned coldly away from, him. But 'if the poor boy, ever found warm friends, he found them among the loyal and humane people of Evansville. I know some of the excellent gentlemen and ladies who visited 'him` ' and am sure no kind office was neglected ; but it was too late,; he lived but a, few days. Thus this brave boy, for no crime but lov ing his `country, was forced to' die among strangers in a strange land. Some one of fered' to Write to his mother, but he said a letter would never reach her in that obscure town, «there was top many rebels in the way." And to the affectionate boy this long ding tor his absent mother was " sorrow's crown of sorrow." I hope thatrwhile his poor heart Was aching, he had, the dearest of all. Friends to comfort him, and gave up his life like a Christian,, as well as hero. But who'does.ivt - pity that. lonely woman in Tennessee, 44 wearying " to see her boy, and .perhaps nnt knowing to this hour why he has never returned from that day's chop-. ping in the woods ! WOMEN. IN THE CHURCH. Archdeacon Thorp, in his' recently pub lished Bampton Lectures for 1861, urges that more attentieet shenla lie directed to the systematic ecclesiastical employment: of wo men in the work of the ,bitUrch. The follo*- ing passage occurs " And now may I be permitted to direct a special appeal to some present to-day; not often- addressed from a Uniyersity pulpit. Tell me,' said a lady, to one of her own sex on her death-bed, 'what word of instruction you will leave behind you for the world-you are quitting ?' That my sex has its mis sion—that there are thousands of, women in England, now wasting life in liatlessness or frivolity / who might be happy and useful, if they would,..orrirbelike-'thoee of whom we real in =goly Scripture, as servants of the Church, helpers itt 'Christ; laborere in the Lord. If they would humbly andamostenta tiously—without in the least steppin4 out of their own sphere, or neglecting domestic du ty—do something to teach the ignorant, to ' console. the afflicted, to relieve :the sick, to succor the distressed, to raise the fallen; to help the helpless to help theindelves/' It may indeed be asked, has. not, the name of woman . been associated with such ministries in - every age, and throughoh the world Where has sickness, or pain, or privation, or calamity been ever found,,lhere &elms not relieved it ? Do we not owe to her. the no blest impulses of life ? What would the Gracchi have been without Cornelia ? What son amongst 'us` has not mainly owed what is good in him to a mother? And `yet, till of late,,--services •of which other communions havalOng known how to avail themselves, amongst is have been almost exchiaively confined'leriyate .I:kr Pk.the , oottiges of the poor-. - 111 --was not en in - - -avestedie and primitive times,!---nor is it now with 'Conti nental Christianity. Women had of old her recognised-office in the Church.. . The Des conness was an accredited order in early times. - Rome ruts its Sisters of ' Charity, as have Protestant communions in France.and Germany. Half 'a century ago, Southey wrote—' There is work enough for us all, it is of women `I am now speaking, who feel in -themselves the strength of heroic virtue, and aspire to its rewards, and shrink from no scenes into which its exercises would `carry them. Such women you have among yon there are such i and there ever will ie such in every generation. Why, have you then no Beguines, no Sisters of Charity ? Why, in the most needful, the most merciful form that charity can take, have' you not yet fol lowed the example - of the French and the Netherlands? . No- Vmcent. de Paul has been heard in your pulpits. No lonise le . 1 Gras has appeared amongst the daughters of Great Eritain. Piety has found its way.into 'your' prisons ;your — hospitals are imploring it in vain ;--L-adtl oh ! what a want is that— and how different would be the moral= effect which these medical Schools produce Upon the pupils educated there, if this lamentable deficiency were supplied. I know not 'wheth er they, or the patients, suffer mast front its . absence. Many are the lives that might be saved by it; matt are the death-beds to which it would administer a consolation that is no* too often'wanted; and Many are the young hearts which ; would be preserved, by, its purifying and 4 ennobling presence, -from 'an affection worse'thanthat which affects the life alone., i 'A school .of medicine ought to be a school of humanity ;..when it is not so, the profession which of all others ought most to soften the heart tends sureliest to corrupt and harden it.' He adds—' that this bles sed spirit of charity _might not only reform' our hospitals by its presence, but lessen the pressure upon them, by seeking out the Sick, and- attending them..in their eytn. habitations.' . And he concludes in words ".which were pro phetic•••-‘ The Protestants were formerly re proached for making no exertions to spread the 'Gospel among the heathen nations. That reproach has been done away. .Thirty years hence this other may also be effaced, and England have its'Beguines and. Sisters of Charity. It is grievously in need of th4m. There is nothing Rcimisli, nothing supersti tious, nothing fanalical in such associations ; nothing but, what is righteous and holy, nothing but what properly belongs to that religious service which the Epostle James, the brother of our Lord, has told us is pure and Undefiled before God• and the Father. They who shall see such societies instituted and flourishing here,`may have a better hope that it may please the Almighty to continue his manifold mercies to this island, ' not With-, standing, the errors which endanger, and the offences which cry to Heaven.' 'The answer has since been given from .the-battle-ftelds of the Crimea and the slopes of Scutari. Elizabeth Fry had "unlocked to her sex the cells of Neyigate. Florence Nightingale opened to them dui. hoipitals and our fever wards ; Airs. Chisholm the holds of our end- . grant ships; Miss Carpenter our reforma torieg. woman'has found for us The Nis sing Link ; a woman has given us Light upon the Line; a woman has taught Christian la dies Ploughing and Sowing in the Welds of Yorkshire ; a woman has taught them What Life is, and what.to do with it.

In words written long ago, by one who antedated much of the charitable effort of the present day by both precept and ex ample---' Happy if she can shed a ray of comfort on the bed of sickness, or relielie an erring child of sin, or direct a wanderer to that open door from which . no suppliant is. ever turned away.' " , Jkioctilantono. THE DEBT AND CURRENCY OF THE UNITED STATES. " The - debt of the United, States was recently reported- by some American papers at two. thousand millions of dollars; but an appa rently official contradiction of this statement was•put forth; making it, rather under seven hundred millions. This 'appears an under estimate, as compared- with previous admis sions, and the rate of expenditure going on since; but even admitting it tube correct, there must be, a very great addition to it before the presint struggle is elosed. , But, should the debt' reach the first-named sum by thUtitne.peaceis restored, it, will not, be nearly equal- to that which Great- Britain inctirred.inler struggle with the first Napo leon. At the close of that series of wars the National debt had reached eleven hundred millions Sterling, or fully five thousand mil lions_ of dollars. And this almost inconceiv able amount of debt was laid upon a people riot-then much more than half as numerous as the free States are now, and on a, country not nearly so extensive nor so fertile in resourses. teight,he expected that BritOn• would s have';:lls,o,red4oB4. :-b4 , 001 ) to.1 Under such a loadOf *AA . and te, inorinons, taxation which it , occasioned; and in several crises, more especial* . in 1811, and 1819, this result appeared imminent. But instead. of national bankruptcy there has' been a continued increase of population, wealth, and credit from that time to this. The in terest has been regularly paid, and the debt diminished to about eight hundred millions, sterling, at dower rate of interest, so that there is not now much more than .a fourth., part of the burthen per head on the people that . layen . them in 1816. Those who are not conversant with.the - InstiniPtrnifgliOi hour of trial and - danger; will say that the same amount of debt in the United States represents double the amount of interest that it did in . .England; butt_ his is not so. Pitt's policy vas to borrow at a IoW rate of intereit, andlake *hat he could get of principal. We are not certain of the rates at which loans. were taken in the heat of the contest; but our impression is, that the Government did not receive more - than. £7O or £B.O for the nominal £lOO, upon which 4 or 5 per 'cent. interest was to be paid .—making the actual rate of interest to 7 per cent., with the additional disadvantage of having at some fixture time to return £2O or 430,,per hun dred more than was received. Sound finan ciers of Pitt's day saw that his true policy wild have been to obtain the hundred, pounds in full, whatever rate of interest he might have to pay for. it, and then, When .the 'rate of interest fell, the Government could give the holdere- of the loan the choke of their money or the, current rate , ofinterest. is life p Of.the'inkit • aces • , however, be said that the United States has suspended specie payments, and, therefore, her loans are made in a depreciated currency; but this was just the way in England, where the suspension lasted very much longer than it has yet, done in the States. , Some may imagine, however, that Britain never allowed her currency to depreciate anything like so far as the Unite,d States ha& done; but this supposition would not be exactly. correct. Though stringent laws were enacted prohibit= ing any one filial giving more than a pound note and a shilling for a guinea, the guinea actually rose to 27'5., being a premium of nearly 80 per cent., Or just about the rate of Gold at present in the United States. We thns see, that when, we 'abuse the United States for running up an, enormous debt— for suspending pa,yments—and for allowing her currency to depreciate, we are indirectly abusing our ,own grandfathers. From =the example of Britain we may' infer, that if the Nort*rn States continue united, they will have little comparative difficulty in bearing any burden of debt and taxation likely to fall upon . them; and pro bably, with their great energies, exhaustless resouces, and rapid increase of population, they will pay it off at no distant' date. Es pecially would this result'be probable . should they overcome rebellion in the Southern States, and confiscate 'the .property of the rebels, wlikich. Would go a good way towards paying the:: expenses of the war. The great danger of the North is, neither the. war nor the debt, 'nor the depreciation of currency, but divisions among them Selves. , The -fall elections this year indicate a bitterlYA4ided state:. of opinion anion the `pecipl: the North Whiliit the &nth is, either 'voluntarily or under constraint,. a unit. This disunion will, however, doubtless disappear if the. States are forced into a war with france or any other Foreign power. The period of greatest military vigor QM the part of France ,Yrag,,W.hent She ho..a,,eonSiderable. portion ~of, her own population in rebellion against the, Republic, and dill the neighbouring nations invading her. It is true; this vigor was at tained by very stringent` measures of internal .administration; but the United States is fast verging that way also. —ilontreal Witness. THE ITERVIMISINg.REGIMENT WE have repeatedly noticed says the Ver mont Chronicle the largb-hearted provisions made in Philadelphia•for the refreshment of _ . troops passing through that city to the seat of war.
