APPOINTMENT.
" BY “M. B. M.”

■ The chaplain was pressed for time,
but he staid 'until after the funeral of
of the poor youth. At ten o’clock, the
corpse was placed in the rude pine coffin
and carried, to. the ambulance;' A file
of with arms reversed, marched
on either side of the ambulance; the
chaplain followed on'his horse, arid a
few of the convalescents,, who had been,
friends of the deceased, brought up the
They had no band to play
mournful music as the sad procession
went to the burying ground, but when
they reached the cemetery, where many
a little mound was green over a soldier’s
mouldering body, the men, with the
chaplain leading them, sang the hymn,
“Oh! wliere shall rest be found?”
Prayer was offered, a few remarks were
made, and ! the coffin was lowered into
the grave. Spadeful after- spadeful of
earth was thrown into the grave, striking
the coffin with dull sound so heart-rend
ing when we hear it over the grave of
thosq we love;; hut there wa,s no one
there to weep for this man, who had;
given his' young life for the flag. All'
were solemn and-sad till tlje volley had
been fired oyer the grave, and bid
ding. goodrbye to the chaplain, they
turned away; l some to forget the com
rade who had gone.
There came, good news that day to
Robert McPherson. People at home,
who sneer at the number of men who
arc ait hoffib !oii furlough, know little of
army life, or they would feel that a fur
lough is sometimes a boon from heaven
to the soldier. It puts new life into him,
and:-he is often a better man and a bet
ter soldier from the glimpse he has of
“Home, sweet home,” between the
shifting scenes of war. Robert had
lost his arm and was entitled to a dis
charge, which he received.
Robert and some of his companions,
who were likewise discharged from the
service on account of their wounds, soon
set out for home, They took a tender
leave of the nurses and surgeons, who
had been :so: *kind to them, and tears
stood in Robert's eyes as he said “good
bye ” to the”gentle friend. .A long,
weary journey was before them, but
they bore up against its fatigues by the
thou Hit that every mile they went over
brought thorn so much nearer home.
They felt, dear children, as you have
often felt when, having been away all
day, you have turned your steps home
ward at nightfall. The shadows have
grown long, and the sunshine has faded
from the west, and still you have looked
with eager eyes for the light in the win
dow ; and have said, over and over,
“ Mother, are we almost there ?”
One thing struck the attention of
these returning soldiers very forcibly.
It was the absence, as they came North,
of anything that looked like war. As
they epierged from the desolated States’
that have been the battle-grounds of the
contest, and came into our peaceful,
prosperous section, they saw the fields,
ripening to the harvest, the trees loaded
with summer fruit, the pleasant homes
of the people smiling with plenty, and
the cities crowded with a pushing, sway
ing multitude, as full as though they had
never sent a representative to the war.
“It don’t look much like war here,
does it ?”. said Robert to a friend who
sat beside him in the car.
; “ Not much,” said his friend, “ but I
am glad to see how bright and thrifty
everything looks; it makes mo feel how
strong our side. is. All these people
want.; Bob,' is to be down there and usee'
things as they arej' to believe what we
tell them, and what they read in the pa
pers. If they believed us they’d volun
teer."as quickly now as in the beginning
of the war; there would be no draft
wanted or,bounties either, but the people
here are’only half awake.” *
* i At intervals along . the way, the sol
diers found “Uriioir Relief Rooms,” or
“’Soldiers’ Rests,” where they were
provided with palatable meals, arid now
arid then-with books and papers., An
old woman; entered the cars at oiie sta
tion, witli a basket of fruit oh her arm,
and-the boys were about to buy some
thing, but she stopped them with a
decided, “No; I never sell to soldiers.
Take all you want and welcome' boys,
for the sake of Frank McGarra, who
died in the battle of Cedar Mountain ;”
and no persuasions could induce this
mother, aged and poor, and bent with
sorrow; to take a cent from a soldier’s
pay- ..
Here and : there Robert’s comrades
left him, until, when they reached New
York, he was alone. Fairfield, the little
village where his mother lived, was hut
a few miles distant, and as he stepped
out on the platform and looked out on
the familiar’ scenes of his boyhood liis
heart throbbed with' a tumult of joy.
There were not many here to recognize
this tall man, in his faded uniform, as
the rosy-cheeked boy who had left them
sfeveral years before the war ; so he
Walked down the street without being
spoken to, though many a glance of admi
ration folio wed. him, and many a woman’s
eyes looked pityingly on his empty sleeve.
'rant’s foil'd
He felt almost afraid to lift the- latch
of the garden gate, when he reached
his mother’s cottage. It was midsum
mer now, and doors and windows stood
wide open, to admit the pleasant even
ing breeze. He opened the garden
gate, and went softly up the gravelled
path, that led to the door. His step
was not so quiet though, with all his
care, that it failed to reach his mother's
ear. Just as he got to the house door,
she came swiftly down the stairs, and
clasped him in her arms. It was a joy
ful meeting, not to be described by
tongue or pen; though there are many
in our great land, who have felt its
blissful reality.
: i Jennie Martin’s home was only a few
doors off. She: was playing with her
cousins, in the garden, when her father
came home and said, /
“ Jennie dear, come in! I have good
news for you 1 Where’s your mother ?”,
“ Here she is,” said a cheerful, pleas
ant voice, “ quite ready for any good
news, you may have to communicate.
But tea is ready; so well sit, down,
and enjoy the tidings, with our supper.”
“I think you would hardly be so
cool if you had any idea of the news
I bring,” said Mr. Martin. “Some
body has come home to-night!”
“It must be Martha,” said Jennie.
“I’ll run up to see her to-morrow.”
“Not Mattie,”—said Mr. Martin.
“It may be brother Charles,” said
Mrs. Martin. “He was expected this
week.” y . 1 ■
“ I see,” replied Mr. Martin, “that
I must enlighten you. It is your cousin
Robert, from Tennessee.”
Many were the exclamations and re
joicings that followed this announcement,
for, Robert , had been a favorite in the
family of old, and of late be had been a
hero in the eyes of all.
, “ It would be wrong to intrude upon

Martin, “ hut to-morrow we’ll all go
and pay our respects to the soldier hoy.”
What motives arc laid upon all Christ
ian parents to make the first article of
family discipline a constant and careful
discipline of themselves. I would not
undervalue a strong and decided govern
ment in families. No family can be
rightly trained without it. But there is
a kind of virtue, my brethren, which is
not in the rod—the virtue, I mean, of a
truly good and sanctified life. And a
reign of brute force is much more easily
maintained than a reign whose power is
righteousness and love. There are, too,
I must warn you, many who, talk much
of the rod as the, orthodox symbol of
parental duty, but who might really as
well be heathens as Christians; who only
storm about their house with heathenish
ferocity, who lecture, and threaten, and
castigate, and bruise, and call this family
government. They even dare tq speak
of this as the nurture of the Lord. So
much .easier is it to be violent than to
be holy, that they substitute force for
goodness and grace, and are wholly hn
conscious of the imposture. It is fright
ful to think how they batter and bruise
the delicate, tender souls of their chil
dren, extinguishing in them what
they ought to cultivate, crushing that
sensibility which is ■ the hope of their
being, and all in the sacred name of
■Christ Jesus. By no such summary
process can you dispatch your duties to
your children. You are not to be a
savage to them,, but afather and a jOhris
tian. • Your real aim and study must he
to infuse into them a new life, and, to
this end, the Life of God must perpetu
ally reign in you. Gathered round you
as a family, they are all to he so -many
motives, strong as the love you bear
them, to make '.you Christ-like in your
spirit. It must be seen and felt with
them that religion is a first thing with
ybu. And it must be first, not in words
and talk, hut visibly first in jrour love—
that' which fixes your, aims, feeds your
enjoyments, sanctifies your pleasures,
supports your trials, satisfies your wants,
contents your ambition, beautifies and
blesses your character. I No mock piety,
no. sanctimony of phrase, or longitude of
face on Sunday will suffice. You must
live in the light of God, arid hold such.a
spirit in exercise as you wish translated
into your children. You must take them
into your feeling, as a loving and joyous
element, and beget, if by the grace of
God you may, the. spirit of your own
heart in theirs. ■
This is Christian education, the nur
ture of the Lord. Ah, how dismal is
the contrast of a half-worldly, carnal pi
ety; proposing money as the'good thing
of life;-! stimulating ambition for place
and show; provoking ill-nature by pet
ulance and falsehood ; praying, to save
the ride of family worship; having now
and then a religious fit, and, when it is
on, weeping and exhorting the family to
undo all that the life has taught theiri to
do; and then, when the passions have
burnt out them fire, dropping down again
to sleep in the embers, only hoping still
that the family will some time be conver
ted' ! When shall we discover that fam
ilies ought to he ruined by such training
as this ?— Dr. Bushnell.
THE MOUSE THAT DID HOT LIKE ITS
. SUPPEE.
A little mouse once found fault with
its supper. It wanted what it could not
have. “My child,” said its mother,
“ your supper 'is better than many little
mice get. Many little mice get no
thing,” This did not make it any better
pleased or more thankful. “It did not
care whether other little mice went hun
gry or not,” it said ; “for its part, it
wanted cheese ;” and because it could
not have it, it ran up into a corner of
the hole,, turned its back and pouted.
Ah, I’m afraid there are other naughty
children who do just so.
“Can’t I go and get some myself?”
cried the foolish little mouse. “My
child,” ; said the patient mother, “you
know not the traps that are set in our
way. Have you forgotten that terrible
enemy of our race, the great yellow cat,
that ate up your ; cousins ? Remember
how well you are off, and let well enough
alone, before you leave our snug hole for.
the uncertainties of life on the premises.
We are near enough to the granary
to 1 satisfy ' every reasonable wanly
and there’s j. your, fine playground
among the rafters.” More good words
were said, and she then left the little
mouse to its oivn reflections, while she
went out for a short walk under the bur
dock leaves.
•No sooner was her back turned than
out came the little mouse from the cor
ner, let itself down the hole, and scam
pered Jn the direction of the pantry.
On its way it met a dashing young rat,
and asked his advice. “Nothing dare,
nothing have,” said the rat. That ad
vice- pleased the mouse, and it marched
boldly on—it knew where, for it had
often heard the old rats describe it.
• As length it reached a secret opening
into the pantry, and found it—stopped
up ! How angry the little mouse was;
while the savory smells that came
through the walls only aggravated it the
more. Heedless of danger, it began to
gnaw, gnaw, gnaw, without stopping to
listen. A rich nibble'and a full meal
were all it thought of. At last it con
trived to squeeze in, as tickled 'as could
be, and laughing in its sleeve at ; its
cautious 'old 1 mother! In this State of
mind, just rounding a firkin, a couple of
glassy eyes, a huge mouth, and mon
PAMILY DISCIPLINE,
strous whiskers confronted it. A terri
ble fright seized its whole body. Where
to go and what to do, it knew not; but
it took to its legs, got out of a door, then
hid, then ran again, the yellow cat at its
heels. Bid she catch it ? Some time
after, she was seen licking her lips; but
she kept dark, answering no questions.
Its mother came in from her walk
under the burdock leaves, and never
saw her mouse again. “Ah, it is a sor
ry sign when children find fault with
what is set before them,” she said and
sighed.
LITTLE WHITE LILY.
Little white Lily
Sat by a stone,
Drooping and waiting,
Till the sun shone:
Little white Lily
Sunshine has fed;
Little white Lily
Is lifting her head.
Little white Lily
Said, “It is good;
Little white Lily’s
Clothing and food.”
Little .white- Lily,
Drest like a bride!'
Shining with whiteness,
And crowned beside!
Little white Lily
Droopeth with pain,
Waiting and waiting
For the wet rain.
Little white Lily
Holdeth her cup
Rain is fast falliilg,
And filling it up.
Little white Lily :
Said, “ Good again,
When I am thirsty
To have nice rain;
Now lain stronger,
Now-1 am cool;
Heat cannot burn me.
My veins are so full.”
Little white Lily
Smells very sweet;
On her 1 head sunshine,
Rain at her feet.

Thanks.to,the rain!, ’

THE DANGEROUS PET,
S An English, gentleman had- a tame
yioung -lion, which seemed to have be
come a lamb in . gentleness, and was a
favorite pet in moments of leisure. .
! One day falling asleep, his hand hung
oyer the side of his couch. The lion
,chine to his side, and commenced licking
his hand. ; Soon the file-like surface of
the animal’s tongue wore off the cuticle
and brought blood to tbe surface. The
sleeper was disturbed and moved’ his
hand, when , the savage growl startled
him from his dreaming half-conscious
ness, to realize the terrible fact that the
pet was a lion after all. With great
self-possession, with the other hand he
drew carefully from a pillow a revolver,
and shot his pet through the head. /It
was; no trivial sacrifice to his feelings,
hut a moment’s delay might have cost,
him his life..
| A striking illustration, of the folly
and madness of men in their moral ex
perience; A vice -which they call harm
less, in the face of conscience, reason
and liistary, is caressed until it gains
the mastery. The pet sin at length eats
its way so deeply into the soul that its,
wages of pain begin to be felt. The,
victim starts up, resolves to escape; but
how seldom .has he the will power left —
the moral courage to slay .the disguised,
destroyer of his immortality.- He
pauses, again falls asleep and awakes
in hell, home of sin,and the sinner when
his work is finished..

NOTICES OF THE WORK.
; The Methodist Quarterly of New York says:
“Brief space compels us to use strong words to do
commensurate justice to this noble work.: It appears to
us an honor to American scholarship and talent. It se
lects one of the noblest, purest martyrs of the en
tire Christian history; it scatters the shades which his
torical: neglect has allowed to gather around him; it
draws from a thorough research into original and co
temporary sources;- with graphic power, a living portrait
of character and events that possess an undying interest
for every lover of purity, truth and freedom.”
[Princeton Review.]
“There have been to our view, few more valuable con
tributions to our religious literature than these volumes
during the present century-
The author of this work takes rank with Spark, Ban
croft, Irving, Prescott, Hopkins, and others, who have
done so much to exalt the reputation of the country, in
the world of letters, by iheir historical productions.”
[New Englander.]
“We had not been prepared to expect so important
and elaborate a contribution to the religious history of
modern times as Mr. Giltett has very quietly made in
these two sturdy octave 'volumes, each with its six
hundred pages and more. The scholar will at once see
what a rich field in which to work this new candidate
for literary honors has-had. * * These volumes
have not been prepared without diligent study of the
proper sources of information. The list of works from
which materials have been drawn, shows that the
facilities at command of the.author have been ample.
* * * The style of Mr. Gillelt is always clear and
spirited. It is good, vigorous,• manly, English style,
and his descriptions often. glow with, a warmth of
feeling, well suited to his noble theme.
[Evangelical Review.]
t( We cordially welcome this important contribution to
our ecclesiastical,literature. The theme is one of
thrilling interest and full of instruction. ♦ * * Dr
Gillett lias .performed his difficult task with ability,
. judgment and literary'taste. These volumes will take
then: place .among standard books- upon kindred gut
jects, and reflect the highest honor upon the author and
the country which produced him.”
