The Laborer's Evening Song.
' Tis a cheery sight, you flickering light,
For the evening is chill and dreary ;
And that is the glow of a hearth, which I know
Has a welcome and rest for the weary.
In a little while, with a sunny smile,
My wife will haste to greet me;
And our baby boy, with a shout of joy,
Will stretch out his arms to meet me.
Others may stop at the first beer-shop,'
Whilst their families beg or borrow,
But the cup of tea that's awaiting me
Will bring neither shame nor sorrow.
Around my knee, in joyous glee,
Will be happy children clinging;
And I shall hear their voices,clear
A hymn at even singing.
My . wife wild I will thankfully
Go on our way together,
Ala..have no fear though storms be near,
Hard times--or wintry weather.
Life's wear and tear we'll bravely bear,
Sustained in jny or sorrow;
We'll face as we may the ills of-to-day, '
And trust in God for the morrow.
And when, at last, life's labor is past,
And our bodies in dust are lying,
Our souls shall rein that home oi
F4 o the blest,
Where there's "no more sorrow nor crying."

GLEANINGS FROM THE FOREIGN MIS•
SIONARY FIELD.
80---CIIILD MURDER. ON THE SOCIETY ISLANDS.
5: 29.—" No man ever yet hated his own
flesh."
The dreadful practice of child murder was
universal upon the Society Islands. The
prinoipal causes of it were the wars; these
were so frequent and destructive that the
mothers preferred to kill their children at
(mee t rather than have them sacrificed in
those wars. Inequality of position between
the parents, was another cause of this abomi
nation. If the. mother Was of - "a better
family than the father, the first two, four or
six children must be put to death to raise
him to an equality with her; those born
afterwards were spared. Finally the suckling
of children was considered to injure the per
sonal appearance of thw w.oma,n, and to make
her grow old prematurely.
The mode of putting the children to death
was horrible. Their mouths' were stopped
with cloths—their little throats were held
;shut till they strangled—they were buried
alive, and, horrible to relate, they were also
murdered by breaking one little limb after
another, commencing with the little finger,
and going to the knees and the elbows, until
they' perished.
Often contentions between the parents led
to the death of the children. One of the
people quarrelled with his wife. After
much contention he snatched up his seven
year-old boy in his rage, taking him by the
arms and legs, and breaking the, tender child's
back with one blow, he tossed him dead at
his mother's feet. Parents were seen with
the utmost calmness to dig a hole in their
garden, lay, the enckling alive down in it,
fill the opening with earth, and tread down
the ground with their feet, An English
poet sings of the child of the Tahitian :
It lay , upon her breast, she pressed it to her,
And from the mother's heart it drew its life
And bound her heart with the soft chains oflove;
From savage slumber waking with its Charm
The parent's soul within her, and the tie
That binds for aye the mother to the child.
And yet she broke—she broke the sacred baud I
Ajittle graie is dug:before her eyes
Just two spans long upon the grassy lawn,
And he that digs it is the father's self.
She plucks it madly from her breast and binds
A leaf of lotus on its month, and quietly
As iflo cradle slumbers ? carefully,
As if she feared its waking, lays it down,
Within its early grave; then quickly 'turns,
Starts up and throws the damp earth on the babe ;
And on. the hillock prostrates her own form,
With all the secret burden of her weary heart
To press it down. nearest thou her bitter cry?
" Oh had my mother but done this for me I"
Then ewutms away and:happily 'tbrgeta
Child,' thother, tYrtints'azicf her wretched self.*
31.----RACHEL'S TEARS AND EVEN BITTERER.
MAT. 2: 18.—" Rachel weeping for her children
and . would not be coniforted'; becadie' the' were
not."
There were women who made a business of
child murder. 'William, the Missionary, had
in his service for fifteen years a converted
native woman, who had carried on this in
famous trade. Nearly every- day, she shed
new tears of repentance for it. There was
not one among all the mothers of the Society
Islands who had not destroyed several chil
dren. -
One day an English friend visited the mis
sionw. Three native women sat in Wil
hams' chamber engaged in sewing. Wil
hanis remarked that he was persuaded that
each of them had slain several children.
The' guest observed the mild and friendly
aspect now exhibited by the women and de
clared himself unable to believe it. Wil
liams then put the question to the fillst one.
She started back, and onljr when the mission
ary explained how he came .to Make the
inquiry she replied with trembling voice, T‘ I
have destroyed nine." Of the remaining
two, one had killed seven and, another five.
A woman who had been converted in her
'old* was upon her dying bed. Williams
visited her and was deeply agitated when
she exclaimed " 0 my sins ! my sins ! I
must die and shall meet them all before the
judgment seat of Christ! Sixteen of them
have I slain and now I must die !" She
died, but as one washed in the tears of re
pentance and in the blood of the Lamb.
82--Mr DA.DGIITER WAS DEAD AND IS ALIVE
AGAIN.
Ps. 103 13.—" As a father pitieth his children,
so the Lord pitieth them that fear him."
Williams tells us another story with amore
pleasing termination. A woman of high
standing had married a man beneath her,
and the rule in such cases was to kill ail the
children. This was actually done with the
first and second child. The third was a
lovely little girl. The father was anxious
to keep it, but the mother and the relatives
insisted on its death, and it was determined
that it should be put into a hole covered over
with boards, and allowed to die of starvation.
But the father secretly rescued it, and gave
it to his brother who carried it to Finieo,
where the missionaries brought it up. After
the introduction of Christianity, the mother,
too, lamented bitterly that she had destroyed
all her children, fur her husband was dead

and bad not told her that the child was still
living. But a woman who was aware of the
secret, disclosed to her the fact that her
daughter had been saved, and was living at
Fimeo.. The mother hastened thither at
once, and when she reached the house to
which she had been directed, she saw with
mingled surprise and joy a lovely maiden
in the door, in whose countenance she recog
nized her own features. It was her daughter.
She pressed her to her heart with indescri
bable delight, and exclaimed : " Rejoice
with me, for this my daughter was dead and
is alive again." The mother has gone to her
rest ; the daughter is still a diligent instruc
tress in a Christian school, and a faithful
member of the church.
33-- 1 A lIINDOO BOY WHO BOUGHT THE KNOW-
LEDGE OF CD:RIOT
Ps. 69: 32. -" Your heart shall live that seek
God."
Govinda, a boy of ten ypars old, fell in
with a tract in his own language, entitled :
" The Gold-mine of, Salvation," in the city
of Dacca. The perusal of this ,and other
,works seemed to make a deep impression.
When he visited his friends in his village it
was his custom to read his tracts. This
course, however, subjected him to so many
reproofs, and so much that was unpleasant,
that he laid them aside and returned to idol
atry. At this time, he was
,taken sick and
his conscience gave him so much', trouble,
that, upon his recovery, in spite of the oppo
sition of his mother, he determined to leave
his hotne 'and seek' instruction in the true
religion. With a single rupee in his pocket,
he made the journey of a hundred hours to
Dacca, to hunt up his' former friend who had
given'hint'the tract. 'Great was his perplex
ity on hearing in7Dacca that his friend had
gene away on a journey, and :would not re
turn for' menths; Some one observing his
perplexity, said to him, in a jeering manner,
that, if he wanted., to become a Christian, he
should go to Calcutta, where there are many
European teachers and converted Hindoos.
Thither he resolved to go, but as his money
was spent, he hired himself out as a servant
for a month, for three rupees, and afterwards
made the journey to Calcutta. Arrived
here he made his home with a man of stand
ing, distantly related to himself, who kindly
offered hint his house until he could find a
place elsewhere. Bye and bye, Govinda
came ont :with'. the question where he might
find the teachers of the Christian religion.
He was answered in every case with sneers,
abuse and threatening ; so that he soon saw
he must apply to other sources for informa
tion. He made a living by carrying an
umbrella over the palanquin for foreigners,
and this employment encouraged him to hope
that his inquiries would finally be successful.
After many weeks of earnest search the
object of his hopes was attained. One day,
as he was prssing the doors of a Baptist mis
sionary church, he noticed that ,they were
open and numbers were going in. He went
in too, and heard with unspeakable joy what
he had long sought, the paeaching of the
truth, the Saviouvthe Gospel. He made
known his earnest desire for knowledge, and
was invited to visit the missionaries regular
ly. He returned home and told his relatives
that he had found the way to happiness
which he had sought so long and so earnest
ly, and that he hoped soon to be a Christian.
They alternately scolded and flattered him.;
they tried threats and promises, at last they
even made contributions to send him home
without expense, if he would spare, them the
disgrace of disowning his caste. But he re
ruitine.d immoveable, declared that he must
follow his convictions, and went, back to his
Christian friends, among whom he continued
to,make visible progress, in, grace and in the
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, until;
at the commencement of the year 1826, he
received baptism.
"WIIIP OLD GRAY, THEN."
There was a farmer who hadd, a four-horse
team. Tile/horses, one excepted, were dif
ficult to drive. 1 Ile,. changed drivers often,
but'to Ettle purpose. His last driver was
sent to draw a log from >the clearing to the
sawmill, and on his return, the wagon and,
'horses stopped in a valley, and a man on the,
hill-top, seeing' the halt, cried out:
" What'A the matter ?"
" Matter enough'," was the ready response,
" There's but one horse in the train that'll
" What horse is that?"
" Old. Gray."
Whip Old Gray, then ; it's no use to whip
the others?'
As in the team case, so in most churches.
There is, some Old Gray who is willing enough
to do the.work, and does do a great deal, but
the trouble he can't draw all theload and.
the balky horses too. Ile would like to foot
the preacher's salary, the sexton's bill ? the
wood, coal, candle and oil bills; but p his poc
ket' isn't long enough nor strong enough.
Yet there is always some man willing enough,
in every, society; to play the censor, and cry
oat, while he does nothing himself, " There's
but one man in. the Church' who will giie
anything—Old Gray. Whip,: Old Gray ;if
he don't pull, the load will never move."
*ln many churches, the pastOr is expected
to do the people's work as well as his own.
Every member endeavors to throw his own
responsibility upon the shoulder,4 of his min-
ister. Decline in religious interest, falling
off in pew-rents, thinly attended meetines,
neighborhood quarrels, church debts, the
temporal prosperity of the people, educational
matters—these and a thousand more, are'laid
to the minister's charge, while the fault-find
ing multitude, standing aloof from any per
sonal exertions on their part, crack the whip
of public opinion over his back, and cry out.
"Whip Old Gray ; it's no use to whip the
others !"

THE CONDUCT OF THE WAR.
From the Congregationlist
The report of the joint committee of Con
gress on the conduct of the war, just given
to the public, fills a pamphlet of 64 pages.
It is signed by Senators Wade and Chandler,
and Representatives Covode, ijulian, Odell,
and Gooch. Mr. Wade has been the leading
spirit in the investigation, and the conclusion
reached is, in brief, that the Army of the
Potomac failed to accomplish what was ex
pected from it, on account of the incompe
tency, the indecision, or the excessive cau
tion and slowness of its commander." The
report is confined almost entirely to McClel
lan's campaigns in Virginia and. Maryland,
and to the battle of Fredericksburg„ The
failure of the latter is attributed mainly to
Gen. Franklin, and the committee exkiress
the opinion that 'had he done what was
.iiittiritit N'trObetvi4l-It-ani.6l4tOrt-Orantriiot
petted of hint, and pushed the attack upon
the left with all his force, Burnside would
have been completely successful, and won a
most glorious victory.
BURNSIDE'S DISPLACEMENT
was brought about in a sing - Oar way, and the
whole history of his campaign detracts not a
whit from the reputation which he sustained
on taking the command, but rather adds new
luster to his energy, ability, and patriotism.
The movement which he contemplated just
before his removal, was prevented by Gene
rals John Cochrane and John Newton, who
visited the President, and represented aiat
the army was not in a condition to fight, and
that the soldiers had little confidence in
Burnside. On the day arranged for crossing
the Rappahannock, Burnside received from
the President the following telegram : " I
have good reason for saying that ,you must
not make a general movement, without let
ting me know of it." The General went im
mediately to Washington, to know what it
meant, and still urged that he might carry
otit the plan. Halleck and Stanton both
held that Gens. Cochrane and Newton should
be dismissed. On returning tnthe army, he
found that in some way, still'a mystery,' his
plans had become known, thereby rendering
them impracticable; He then prepared an
order, dismissing certain officers who had in
terfered with, them, relieving others, and
pronouncing -cleatir-upon - several —O-Ohiricted
deserters. He brought the order to Washing
ton for the President's sanction, which was,
at length, refused. In that event Burnside
had asked the acceptance of his resignation,
but the President declined this. Burnside
again insisted upon it, but hefinally con
sented to take a leave Of absence for thirty
days. He objected to the wording of. the
order, relieving him of command ".at his own
request," but upon the representation that
any other form might injure the pause, waived
that point.
GENERAL M'CLELLAN
ti
\The conclusions of the report respecting
Gen. McClellan, are tersely, - and, we think,
fairly summed up in the following from the
New York Tribune :
The Congressional Report on the Conduct
of the War, is remarkable as dealing not with
opinions, or arguments, or theories, but
mainly with facts. Itis a, historical statement
of the evidence on certain important points.
We have already presented in these columns
an impartial summary of this evidence ; let
us endeavor to note now more briefly the con
clusions which it establishes. We will try
so state them in such a way that, however
they may conflict with personal partialities
or prejudices, they shall not be controvertible
as matters of fact. • •
The Army of the Potomac was organized
by Major-Gen. Meo'ellen. By the first of
October, 1861, it numbered 185,000 men, and
was in all respects fit for immediate service.
The rebel army at Manassas, which was op
posed to it, was less than 70,000 strong.
But the Army of the Potomac nevertheless
remained inactive during the whole Winter
of 1f361--2, and did not move till the rebels
voluntarily evacuated Manassas in March.
A victory that Winter would practically have
annihilated the rebellion. It is not now dis
puted that our army would have won a vic
tory if it had been tried, and that Gen. Mc-
Clellan is solely responsible for its failure
to try.
Secondly : The blockade of the Potomac
might have been, prevented- or, raised at any
time during that Winter, by,naval force with
the cooperation of 4,000 troops. Gen: Mc-
Clellan withdrew the troops, and is solely
responsible for the continuance of the block
ade.
Thirdly : The Peninsular Campaign was
Gen. McClellan's own plan, reluctantly ac
quiesced in by the President, and undertaken.
by McClellan on the express condition that
he should leave a force sufficient,. in the opin
ion of all his corps commanders, for the de
fenses of Washington. They fixed the num.
beinf that force ; at 54,000. Ent Gen. Mc-
Clellan, in violation of his agreement and of
the orders of the President, "withdrew all but
18;000 troops from the. Capltal, part even of
those being raw, and no light artillery left
them. The President, therefore, ordered, the
corps of:McDowell to remain for the defense
of Washington, and even including this corps
the Specified number of . troops was not Made
up. Yet this is what is termed an f‘ inter
ference with Gen. McClellan's plans," and is
in substance the only ground of complaint
against the President, - and 'the only excuse
offered for the failure of the Peninsular
Campaign.
Fourthly : McOleljau took with him to
the PeninsUla more than 1.60,000 troops.
The rebels had less than 20,000 to resist his
occupation of Yorktown. But he sat down
to besiege it,; the rebels concluded to, rein
force and resist, and afier month's, delay
the place was evachated by the rebels with
out firing a gun,, just as McClellan was ready
to open his 'batteries. Meanwhile part of
McDowell's corps had been sent him. It is
now known , that Yorktown Might lave been
'taken at once, and, that Richmond would have
fallen with' it. For the delay and failure
McClellan alone is responsible.
_Fifthly : There were three other occasions
when, if McClellan had 'improved his advan
tage, Richmond might have been taken by
the troops who could at once have been Mov
ed against it ; viz after the battles of Wil
liamsburg, Seven Pines,, and Malvern Hill.
Each time he hesitated to advance till it was
too late, and the rebel capital was saved.
Sixthly `:• The retreat of the Army of the
Potomac after and during the seven days'
battles was precipitate and premature. The
battles were all fought by the corps comtrian
ders, Gen. McClellan's only share in the
operation being to order and superintend the
unnecessary retreats by night. And when,
finally, after the, splendid victory of Malvern
Hill, won in his absence, he again fell back
to. Harrison's Bar, he despaired of his army,
made no preparations for defense for twenty
four hours after, had, resolved on surrender
ing his whole army. if again attacked, (?) anti
was only saved from that disgrace by a rain
which prevented the enemy from moving his
artillery.
Seventhly : All possible reinforcements'
were sent to McClellin while he wit on the
Peninsula. The letters of the President, of.
the Secretary of War, and of Gen. Halleck,
conclusively prove that every effort was made
to sustain and reinforce McClellan, that
troops were even sent him which were deem
ed indispensable to the safety of Washington,
and that they were refused him only when
no more,remained to be sent.
Eighthly : When ordered to withdraw his
army from Harrison's Bar, Gen. McClellan
delayed the execution of the order eleven
days, after its receipt. 13y that delay the•
safety of the army of Virginia and Washing
ton was imminently endangered, and still
more so by McClellan's subsequent failure
to, cooperate heartily, with Gen. Pope.
Ninthly : The battle of, Antietam„ which
was an indecisive, success, might have been a
complete victory, and Would'havebeen follow-
ed by the destruction or capture of the rebel
army, if it had been killfully fought by Mc-
Clellan, or if he had renewed the attack next
morning as Burnside and Sumner advised.
Tenthly : The pretracted inactivity after
that battle from thel7th of September to the
26th of October Weetlinnecessary, in direct
defiance of positive eiders, disastrous to the
national cause, andowat the salvation of the
rebellion. The, solelesponsibility for it rests
on Gen. McClellan. I The 'immediate 'cause
of his removal seams to have been this lateit
and most persistent insuberdination::
We have no comments to offer on these
statements. They ire not charges against
Gen. McClellan—tlry: are the, findi n g s o f
an impartial jury on the e,vidence submitted
to them. The sentence which history will
pronounce we do not care to anticipate.

MARIO BOOS.
"Among the pleasantest- reminiscences: of
my
.journey," sayea, recent traveler in -13:p
per Austria, " is a visit I paid to the neigh
borhaed'ihere Martin'Boos, the wel-known
preacher of righteousness, lifted up his voice.
About twenty-four Miles north of Linz, Botta
was chaplain thirty years ago. ' In' Gallnen
kirchen itself, the chief scene of hisactivity,
his memory is well : nigh extinct. There is
only one farmer there who belongs to the
Evangelical Chnrch. t ' ' But a,bout four miles
from this place there is a small village, con
sisting of scattered farra-houses, where the
teed sown by Boos has brought forth fruit,
so that a 'small evangelical congrega,tion
exists there at preaent. As Boos himself
never left the Church of Rome, his adherents
- also never thought
,otsUch a step. After his
removal, many of h is converts converts used to' meet,
in order to be strengthened: and encouraged
in the truth by readin g the Bible and prayer.
The Liguorians were eV . active to counteract
the influence of. Boos; erected many chapels,
and, when they found the people unwilling to
attend Mass, had'reSource to the help of the
police. When all Dreams, failed, the Liguo
rians, sea last, resource, asked them whether
they did not know' that Bees was a heretic,
and that he had made them all Protestants.
This was quite a new idea to the poor pea
ple, at first not very; pleasant ; but after a
while they thought it best to investigate. the
matter, and sent trustworthy men to various
Protestant places tl find out whether the
_Protestants preached the doctrine of Boos,
and when the messeigers returned with the
report—the Protest nts teach exactly like
Boos, salvation thro gli ,: Christ's merit only
—they said : c If' th" is so, it, is best for' ns
•to join the Protesta Church I,' This reso
lution, hoWever, was not' easily carried out.
According - to an A striae law, a Roman
Catholic who wishe - to leave his - Church,
first required to be i strueted by a priest for
six weeks. But the ngenuity of the priests
converted in• this ca..o'iSix. Weeks into "twenty
years. The arithmetical miracle is performed
in this manner. f Six weeks' instruction
means forty-two leskins. Bat the interval
between the lessons i not fixed, and depends
on the discretion of the spiritual teacher.
The patience and (perseverance of these
simple people were , lat last rewarded. The
law above mentioned ' was changed in 1849.
There is now in We kendorf a congregation
of 110 members, ant a church is to be used
as a school, is in process of erection. The
four principal leaders flare fenr aged fan:tiers,
who knew Boos perstmally. One of them,
when asked whether! he had known Boos,
replied, ‘,I heard hinOpreach for nine years,
but it was only the last year I began to know
him.' " Work of theiChristian Church.
