A-Hymn for the Sabbath.
The following beautiful hymn is from the pen of
the Rev. Dr. Wordsworth, canon of Westminster
Abley, and nephew of the poet laureate:
O day of rest and gladness,
0 day of joy and light,
0 balm of care and sadness,
Most beautiful, most bright;
On thee, the high and lowly,
Bending before the Throne,
Sing, Holy, Holy, Holy,
To the Great Three in One.
On thee, at the Creation '
The light first had its birth ;
On thee for our salvation
Christ rose from depths of earth;
On then our Lord victorious
The Spirit sent from Heaven,
And thus on thee most glorious
A triple Light was given.
Thou art a port protected .
From storms that round us rise;
A garden intersected
With streams of Paradise;
Thou art a cooling fountain
In life's dry, dreary sand;
From thee, like Pisgah's mountain,
We view our promised laud.
Thou art a holy ladder.
Where angels go and come;
Each Sunday finds us gladder,
Nearer to Heaven, our home.
A day of sweet reflection,
Thou art a day of love;
A day of resurrection ,
From earth to things above.
To-day on weary nations
The heavenly manna, falls;
To holy convootitions
The silver trumpet calls,
Where Gospel-light is glowing
With . pure and radiant beams,
And living waters flowing
With soul-refreshing streams.
New graces ever gaining
From this our day of rest,
We reach the rent remaining
To spirits of the blest.;
To Holy Ghost be praises,
To Father and to Son;
The Church her voice upraises,
To Thee, blest Three in One.
A CONTRABAND STORY:
SHOWING HOW WILLIE GRIMBY CHANGED HIS
MIND.
"Thu Tirriort," said Mr. Grimby, must
and shall be preserved."
No one appearing to controvert this asset.-
ticn, the senator proceeded to his second
proposition
" But, sir, in restoring the Constitution we
must act within the Constitution. Everything
sir, that belonged to the Union as it was is
sacred in my eyes. If the four millions of
blacks were at my door today, I would send
thetn back. I would say to them Return to
your masters; the time has not yet come.
When Providence sees fit to make you free,
in his .own good time, and by constitutional
means—mark my word, sir, by strictly con
stitutional means—l shall have nothing to.
say Not," continued Mr. Grimby,witha mag
nanimous wave of his head,—" not that I
wish harm to the colored race, sir. lam the
friend of the slave. No man can more deeply
regret the abuses of slavery. It is an evil,
it is a wrong, it is a-a-an inconvenience. But
sir, we have no right to interfere. We have
the Constitution to preserve ; and if, sir,
in
this time of storm and trial, we succeed in
preserving the Constitution, our names will
go down with unsullied. honor to posterity."
And, having pointed his discourse with an
admired passage from his latest effort in Con
gressional eloquence, Mr. Grimby balanced
his tea-spoon with the nicest deliberation,. as
if the peculiar institution had been at one
end, the Federal Government at the other,
and his life-work had been the preservation
of an exact equipose between them.
The "sir"to whom these weighty remarks
were addressed could have been no other
than Mr. Grimsby's little boy, Willie, who
being, like many another little boy, deeply
penetrated with a sense of his father's wis
dom and importance, drank in with thirsty
ears all the streams of eloquence that flowed
from the paternal lips, and sometimes confi
dvd to sister Lilian, in their most ingenuous
hours, that he was learning to be a senator
too
In furtherance of his ambitious plans,Wil
lie had already become the representative of.
" numerous and powerful constituency,"
including first Lilian, then Gip the dbg, Mrs.
Partington the cat, and all the dolls—wax,
wooden, and porcelain—of Lilian's baby
house. The zeal and eloquence which Willie
displayed in their service must have won the
hearts of a much harder constituency than
tics t which Lilian commanded ; and when the
individuals above-mentioned were assembled
in the wood-house chamber, serving now the
second purpose of " honorable members"
from all the States of the Union, Willie was
invariably the orator of the day.
Mr. Grimby's oration this morning had
proceeded as far as "posterity," when his
son and heir left the room, Niger to work up
tho theme thus afforded into a telling speech
lvilich would draw a tempest of applause from
lii.4 always appreciative audience. Glancing
round to see that a quorum were present,—
fur some of the less active members had not
quitted their seats since yesterday's session,
—the young orator entered upon a labored
and forcible argument, proving, to his own
s.itisfaction, that no one has any right to be
free except by constitutional means.
" If the four hundred millions of little dar
k ies were at my door to-day," said Willie, "I
would say to them, Now look hero, fellows,
0 u may think it's very nice to live in a mar
ble house, and have a pony of your own, and
fountains and gold-fish, but I tell you we've
got to preserve the Constitution. Now it's
constitutional for me to play ball and go fish
ing, and have nice times generally ; and it's
constitutional for you to hoe potatoes and
pick cotton and live in funny little cabins
like those in the pictures; and whatever's
constitutional is right."
Willie gloried in that word constitution
al," because, by long practice, he had just
learned to pronounce it without getting tan
gled among the t's.
" So go back, my erring brothers," he con
tinued in a patronizing way ; "go back to
your little cabins, and remember picking
cotton is just as nice as playing ball, if you
only think so. I wish you were all free—l
do indeed; but I must act, not as a man, but
as a patriot."
" You needn't go back, either," said a
merry voice on the stairs. " e doesn't
mean any harm: he's only playing ,Con
gress."
"Hallo ! who's there ? " cried the orator,
as turning to the door, he saw that his strik
ing supposition had been at least partially
fulfilled.
A round, woolly head and two large black
eyes had risen above the stairway, where
they had been arrested by Willie's exhorta
tion..
" I say, little image, what's your name?"
continued the boy, as he descended from the
rostrum and approached the stranger.
Lilian's golden curls and laughing blue
eyes now appeared, and her voice broke the
embarrassed stillness, for the " little image"
was apparently not endowed with the gift of
speech.
" He's cold and hungry, Willie. His
name is Rob. I was going to take him in
to breakfast, but papa was talking so—so
grand," said Lily, with a mischievous little
smile, " that I couldn't get a word in edge
ways. So I thought we would have break
fast up here with my cups and saucers, and
cook will make us some cakes."
" That's so," said Willie, who enjoyed
Lilian's tea-drinkings only less than his own
sessions of Congress. " But I say, little one,
where did you come from, and where are
your father and mother, and why don't you
go home and get your breakfast ?"
"Dey shot my father," said Rob, while a
cold shudder ran through his little frame,
glancing :cautiously around the while, as if
feeling that the tale was too terrible for Lil
ian to hear. " Ole mass'r shot him, 'cause,
he found out Mass'r Linkum coming to set
him free. And den mammy she run away
wid me 'that night, and we hide in the bushes
and de swamps, and ebery night we run fast
as we can, till mammy she give out ;—and
den she cried and kissed me great many
times, and tell me never to stop till I get to de
Nod ;—and den she fell down, and I co.uldn't
wake her up ;--and now she's lying cold and
'still in the woods."
The sorrowful story came little by little,
with many breaks and interruptions; but
when it was ended, Willie still sat silent on
the play-room, floor, gazing at Rob, while
many new thoughts and feelings were work
ing at his heart, and making.some mischief
among the muscles of his 'face. But then
senators never cry; neither did Willie.
"Is dins de Norf, mass'r ? " said Rob, at
length.
" Yes, to be sure this is the North, but
what do you want of it?" said Willie, not
gruffly, only trying to be manly and senato
rial.
" Mammy said de good people live here,
dat didn't shoot folks 'cause dey wanted to
be free. And Bob's bevy cold and tired and
hungry, and lame," leaking down sorrowfully
at the little bare, frosted feet, that were
bleeding from their pilgrimage over the fro,
zen ground. " Could I sleep here, little
while, mass'r ?" And the poor little way
worn traveler gazed around at the bare floor
of, the play-room, as if it had been one ex
panse of downy cushions wooing him to
repose.
"Yes,. indeed! No, you can't," said Wil
lie ; "nobody can sleep on a hard floor. But
come along ; Lily's play breakfast will never
be ready; come and get something to eat,
and then we will see - where, you can sleep."
" Whom have we here !" exclaimed Mr.
Grimby in surprise, as his first-born re-enter
ed the room, ushering in his little guest.
The worthy senator was not a cruel man at
heart, and perhaps was a little annoyed by
so prompt an occasion for putting his princi
ples in prate.
"Rob is hungry and would like some
breakfast," was Willie ' s meek reply, as he
drew up his own chair to the table.
Mr. Grimby, transfixed with astonishment
made no remark while the little ebony image
was installed in the place pf his own curly
pated boy. Nor did he pereeivethat, the
balance of power in his tea-spoon was being
destroyed, the peculiar institution went'down,
while the. Federal Government triumphantly
ascended.
" Now, father, will you please to cut that
steak ? " continued =Gricnby the second.
"My son, do you know that this is very
strange--wrong--improper? " the senator at
length found words to say.
"I suppose so, father—but, sir," continu
ed the embryo Congressman with deliberate
dignity, " whatever ' sir, may be said by my
learned colleague, I can never consider it
constitutional for a boy to go without his
breakfast."
The perplexed Mr. Grimby raised his eyes
to the sharer of his woes, but she, in her illo
gical, womanish way, only answered his ap
peal by a sudden, merry, musical burst of
laughter, which proved so contagious• that the
excellent senator was swept away from all
the moorings of his dignity, into a perfectly
irresistible flood-tide of merriment, while Wil
lie, never backward oii'such occasions, bore
his part bravely, and Lilian, who at this Mo
ment appeared at the door, added her tiny
treble, merry and clear as the notes of a
young wood-bird, until such a quartet of
laughter never was heard in a senator's house
before,;--the poor little innocent cause of all
the disturbance meanwhile turning his eyes
from one to another of the group in utter
consternation.
Well ! though the wise men of old very
wisely said of laughter, "It is mad, and of
mirth, what doeth it ? " yet, I am prepared
to aver that this particular fit of madness had
a method in it, and that Mrs. Grimsby's un
timely mirth produced some important prac
tical results. For, in the first place, Master
Willie took advantage of the general good
feeling to procure for his protege the comforts
of a warm bath and clean, whole clothing,
and a soft bed, where the weary little pil
grim was soon — sleeping away the weariness
of his nightly journeyings. In the second
place, Mr. Grimby's objections being once
swept away, his utmost force of logic never
availed to re-establish them, even though his
son Willie—seconded by his good mamma,
—insisted upon. adopting.., the little contra
band as a permanent inmate of the household,
providing for him food, clothing, and instruc
tion. So, after all his storm-tost wanderings,
that flood-tide of laughter was the last silvery
surge that landed the little outcast high and
dry on the blessed shores of freedom.
Rob proved a gentle, teachable, and grate
ful little pupil ; and as . Willie afterwards
remarked to Lilian, that morning's pdventure
was lucky all round ; for it enlarged his con
stituency, and then it was quite jolly to say
"My honored friend from Louisiana ' in real
earnest. It is remarkable, however, that the
Southern element introduced into the juvenile
Congress had a contrary effect to that which
it has sometimes produced, in, larger circles;
for no four millions of small fugitives were
ever again sent away from Willie's imagina
ry doors, and the young orator was frequently
" compelled to differ from his learned friend
in the other house" on questions connected
with the true means for the preserVation of
the Union.

was darkened by sadder, sterner scenes ; a
father lying dead on the lantation, his blood
crying to heaven for vengeance on the mur
derer, and the weary mother sinking down
in the forest, just in sight of that promised
land of freedom whose brightness was never
to gladden her darkened eyes. And Wiliie
prayed more earnestly than ever he had
prayed in his life before, that if he grew to
be a real law-maker he might be delivered
from the horrible sin of gambling in the bo

JOHNNY'S CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
FRANK RIPLEY was going to school one
morning, feeling very happy indeed. One
reason was, that he knew all his lesson; was
but the greatest reason of all was, that in
two days it would be Christmas. die always
had a happy time on that day, because, in
the first place, he had plenty of kind friends
to make him presents, and then he went to
his grand-father's to dinner, where he met
all his cousins—and he had a great many—
and they had a grand time together.
As he went whistling along, thinking of
all these things, he passed a house where a
poor woman lived, who sometimes worked for
his mother. She was a widow, with only one
ehild, a little by, who was lame. He was
about Frank's age, but he was much smaller,
and looked so pale and delicate that he
seemed two or three years younger.
On this morning, as 'Frank passed the
house, the little lame boy was at the window,
looking so sad and lonely—for his mother
was out at work—that Frank was almost
tempted to sto,) and talk to him for a little
while. tut it was almost sehool-tiine, and
he had a :nag walk still before him, so he:had
to be satisfied with giving him' a smile and a
nod as he hurried past.-
",Poor Johnny!" said he to himself, as he
walked along'; he must have a very stupid
time, alone all day, with no one to speak to
him. I wonder if ,he is glad Chrismas is
coming. No ; I suppose not, :for his no
one to give him present's, and no grandfa
ther's.house to go to."
And then what his teacher bad said in
Sunday-school, the day before, came into
his mind: :.,that. Jesus came into the ;World to
make :every' body happy, and those who
wanted to be like Jesus would try to make
every body happy too. His teacher said,
too, that little children had so many things
given them on Christmas day, and so much
done to make them happy, that they , very of
ten forgot that they ought to make somebody
happy too'; and he wanted each of his scho
lars to try if they could not add to some
one's happiness on the next Christmas daY.
Frank thought of all this as he walked
along, and he tried to think .of something
that he could do for Johnny. But he had
not made up his mind what it should be when
he reached the school-house., and then there
was so much for him to think about that he
forgot Johnny until he passed the house
again on his way home; then he remember
ed his morning's thought.
" I wonder 'Oat I 'can rre
. give hi he'
thought again. " I might buy him a sled
with that gold piece Uncle" Charlesgave me;
but he couldn't use it, nor skates either, nor
marbles, nor a 'kite. He might like a book.
I'll ask mother ; she'll know.'
But his mother was out when he reached
home, so he had to leave the question unsat
tied, and after putting away his book's; he
went out to feed his rabbits.
Frank loved his rabbits very much, and
he used "to spend a great deal of time with
them, as he had no brothers or sisters to play
with. They were very tame, and would run
to him when he came near their pen as if
they were very glad to see him.
As he was feeding them, the thought came
into his mind, perhaps Johnny would like
some rabbits to play with. He could have
0, pen for them at'the side of his mother's
libuse s and when he was alone he could bring
them into the- house for company. Then
Frank began to look among his rabbits—for
he had several—to see which he could spare
the best, But he loved them all, and he
could not make any choice. in fact, it would
cost him . more self-denial to give Johnny
two of his rabbits"than any thing else. But
he could not think of any thing which it
seemed to him Johnny would like as well.
So when his mother came,,home, he told her
his plan. She was Very imuch pleased to have
her boy so thoughtful for another's happi
ness, and she - was sure Johnny would be de
lighted.
After Frank decided to give the rabbits,
ncAing gave him so much pleasure as :the
,ihought of making Johnny.the, present. Ear
ly on Christmas morning he went to his rub-
bit pen, and chose two pretty little white fel
lows, and putting them in a basket, with some
thing for them to eat, started for Johnny's
house. He found him seated at the - window,
- waiting for his breakfast, which his mother
was, preparing..
His eyes had never sparkled so before as
they did when Frank opened, his basket and
showed him type rabbits and told him they
were for him.
"Did you ever see any thing so pretty,
mother ?" said he. "Now you won't feel so
sorry to leave me every day, for I shall have
these dear little rabbits: to keep: me eom
pany."
Indeed Master Frank," said Johnny's
mother,. " I can not tell you how much I
thank you. I was just telling Johnny how
sorry I was that 'I had no present for him ;
but I had to buy coal last week, and I had
no money left. But I could not have bought
him any thing so pretty as these little rab
bits."
-Frank went home with a very light heart,
and though he had a great many presents,
none \of them gave him as much pleasure as
his gift to Johnny.
The next day he persuaded some of the
school-boys to help him make a pen for John
ny's rabbits out of some boards his father
gave him. When school commenced again,
and he passed Johnny's house every day,
Johnny almost always brought the rallbits to
the window to let him see that he was not
alone now, and, he looked very happy.
This' was the way that Frank, on that
Christmas day, joined in the angels' song . :

THE Temperance men at WeMeet, Mass.,
got together in January and resolved to stop
the sale of spirituous liquors. They visited
the dealers and told them they would pay
for all on hand and pour it into the street,
if the dealers would agree to purchase no
more. The proposition_was assented to by
all. Very soon after, the spirit of God was
specially manifest in all the churches, and
many of all classcn flocked to the house of
God. Many men of the sea are among the
converts. The work still goes on, having

until the converts number several hundreds:
THE NEW MILITARY JAW.
==l
As this law is of great interest to every one
liable to do military duty, as well as their
friends and thos9 who are dear to them, we
may state that no call will be made at pre,
sent on any State that has furnished her
quota of all the volunteers called out by the
President, and also state, the mode in which
the draft will be conducted.
There will be a provost martial for every
Congressional district, and when the district
is very large, two or three as the ease may
repuire. There will also be one civilian
and surgeon of cavalry without rations,
being about $ll3 a month. These .persons
will constitute the enrolling board, whose
duty will be to 'divide the district into two
sub-divisions and appoint for each an.enrol
ling officer, whose duty will be to , make the
enrollment. Immediately after his appoint
ment- the enrolling officer is to proceed to
make the enrollment fin such manner that
each , class shall be enrolled'separately, and
the age of the person enrolled is to be set
down on the list as it will be on the first day
of July succeeding the date of the enroll
ment. That is if any person is not twenty,
but will be on the first of July next, he is
to be placed on the list ; or if any married
man is not thirty-five now, but Will be on
the first of July next, he is not to go in the
first class, but in the second Class; or if any
person liable to do military duty is not now
forty-five years of age, but will be on the
first day of July next, he' is not placed on
the list at all.
All persons thus enrolled are liable to do
military duty for two years from the first of
July after enrollment, and, if carried into the'
service shall continue during the rebellion,
but no longer than three years. The second
class will not be called out till after the.first
class shall have been called out. When the
_President shall make a call, he will assign
to each district the number it must furnish ;
and the enrolling board ,shall make a draft
for that: number and -fifty per cent. addition
al, and make a complete roll in the order in
which the names are drawn. The drafted
men will stand precisely on the same footing
with the three year volunteers in respect to
.pay and bounty as provided by law. Al
lowance is to be made in respect to numbers
in each district for those volunteers already
furnished for the war.
The person drawn is to be notified within
ten days, and he is to repair to the rendez
vous or pay a substitute designated by the
Secretary of War before the day of assemb
ling—the sum to be paid is to be uniform,
and the amount designaited by a 'general
order, but not to exceed $BOO. Every per
son failing to report in person or by substi
tute, or paying the stipulated sum, shall be
considered and treated as a 'deserter.
The bill is a good one generally, but we,
-think it would have .been More Just if the'
sum to be paid had been a per centage on
what the person drawn was worth by the
assessment of his property or the amount' of
his taxes. The poor man, whose family may
be mainly depending on support'from his la
bor, must serve , while the rich, who are
worth their hundreds of thousands, will not
care the stroke of a pen whether drafted or
not. Many lukewarm supporters of the Gov
ernment think that this law is similar to the
one passed by the reb.els. lt is not so. The
rebel act takes all persons between certain
ages leaving none•behind, while our law takes
only the required number out of all enrolled.
The rebels take all they can lay their hands
on, old or young.
Many districts have furnished all and over
what they have'been asked for, and in such,
we believe, with proper exertions, no draft
will be required should a call be made.
Hundreds of thousands comprising those not
yet furnished for the last call of Presi
dent, and deserters from the army, which, if
now in service as they should be, would give
us a large enough army to sweep the rebellion
out of existence in a very short time. Tiet
us, then, all stand.ftrmly by our Government
in its efforts to crush the rebellion, and per
petuate to future generations the inestimable
blessing of liberty.—Christian Instructor.
RELIGIOUS , REAAING ICY TIIE ARMY.
A. LETTER received from a young soldier
acknowledging a package of reading sent by
the Boston Tract Society, gives emphatic,
testimony to the usefulness of such publica
tions in the army, He' says of himself
"I have been in the service nineteen months.
When first volunteered for my - country, I
was a wild, reckless man, but I bless G-od I
did not remain so long. I had not been in
the service over two months, when I was in
the battle of Peak Mountain, hut not with
out a friend. I had a brother, and I believe
he was atrue Christian. When we were led
up in line of battle, my brother was by my
side, and-he whispered these words in my
ear: 'I will fall in this battle, but I fall for
my Country, and God will take my soul.'
And, true enough, the third round was not
fired before I held him in my arms, shot
through the breast, but apparently in no
pain. - I - shall never *forget the words he
spoke to me then. Oh, says he, are we
whipped ? ' I told him `Go'-says he,
'to your post and fight; it is a good cause,
and I am willing to die. He took me by
the hand and said: 0, brother be a pray
ing man, and then you need not fear death.'
He made me take all the things out of his
pocket, and among them was a tract, headed,
' Come to Jesus.' When he saw me looking
at it, he asked :me what it was. I told him.
'Yes,' says he, ' that is the old tract that
made mo what I am.' Says he, 'brOther,
read it, and keep it, and pray God to for
give you' I have done as he bid. me, and I
have rest in my mind. I believe God has
done all for me that can he done for man in
this world. I feel blest, and I have a hope of
seeing my brother in heaten.

she asked " Do you know how many libles
might have been bought with the money you

" How many Bibles do you think the price of

gg Our only child', about three years of age, was at
tacked, by primples on his forehead. They rapidly
spread until they formed aloathsome and virulentsore,
which covered his face, and actually blinded his eyes
for some days. A skilful physician applied nitrate
of silver and other remedies, without ,any apparent
effect. For fifteen days we guarded his hands, lest
with them he should tear open the festering and cor
rupt wound which covered his whole face. Having
tried every thing else we had any hope from, webegan
giving your SAnse_reamta, and applying the iodide of
potash lotion, as you direct. The sore began to heal
when we had-given the firstbottle, and was well when
we had finished the second. The child's eyelashes,
which had come out, grew again, and he is now-as
healthy and fair as any other. The whole neighbor
hood predicted that the child must die."
Ilhouraatism, Gout, Liver Complaint, -Dyspep
sia, 'Heart „Disease, Neuralgia,
when. caused by Scrofula in the system, are rapidly
.cured by this . EXT. SARSAPARILLA.
