He had no language for his joyous passion, No solemn measure, no artistic rhyme ; Yet no devoted minstrel e'er did fashion Such perfect tune and time It seemed of thousand joys a thousand stories, All gushing forth in one tumultuous tide, A hallelujah for the morning-glories That bloomed on every side. And with each canticle's voluptuous ending, He sipped a dew-drop from the window pane, Then, heavenward, his little bill extending, nroke forth in song again. I thought to emulate his wild emotion, And learn thanksgiving from his tuneful tongue; But human heart ne'er uttered such devotion, Nor human lips such song. At length be flew, and left me in much sorrow, Lest -I should. hear those tender notes no more ; And, though I early watched for him each ' morrow, He came not nigh my door But once again; one silent summer even, I met him hopping in the new-mown hay ; But ho was mute, and looked not up to heaven, As when ho sang in May. Though now I hear from dawn to twilight hour The hoarso woodpecker and the noisy jay, In vain seek, through leafless grove and. bower, The bird that sang in May MILITARY EXPLOITS OF THE HUGUE NOT REFUGEES. • Perhaps,,the most Splendid chapter in the history of the refugees is that which records their exploits on the - field of bat tle, when contending in arms for the great principles of truth and righteous ness to which they were so deeply attach ed. They volunteered in great numbers in the armies of their adopted countries ; ant:l it as each one knew and prized, above life!itdelf :the , object' for , 4vllieh mini of the conflicts of those times were waged, every soldier r behaved himself like a hero in the fight. No better material for the stern work of war could be found than the valiant and zealous refugees. The most illustrious of the superior officers who withdrew ^from France for conscience' sake at' this time was the Marshal Schomberg. So highly was this faithful soldier esteemed r in Prussia,, that, to detain him in the ser vice of the government, he was made Governor, Minister of State, Member of the Privy Council,—in which he sat among the princes of the blood royal,— and Generalissimo of the entire army. But he felt called to sustain, the great Protestant undertaking of William, Prince of Orange, against James 11., of England, and could not be retained on the continent. Many brave men, including Schomberg's oldest son, re mained and fought in the service of Frederick William and his son Frede rick I. The war was, in fact, little else than the opposition of the Pro testant Powers of Europe to the aggres sions of Louis XIV., the persecutor of the Huguenots and the enemy of Pro testantism. Hence the refugees could enter upon it with their whole hearts. The army of Frederick was one of the three raised by the Protestant allies to' drive Louis back from his advanced po sitions on the Rhine. It was composed mainly of' refugees, who proved their; valor in the first campaign in the year 1689. At the combat of Neuss, just beyond the Rhine, the corps of refugees called the Grand Carabineers launched themselves on the forces of their Papist fellow-countrymen like a thunderbolt, and drove them from the field, gaining a victory that secured Prussia from the insults' of Louis XIV. At the siege of Bonn, in the same campaign, the refu gees, at their own *request, led the storming-party, and carried all the out: works by the irresistible fury of the charge. The next day the place was surrendered. In the next campaign the Prussians were led by the son of Mar shal Schomberg with decided success. In the campaign carried on during the same war in Italy, the refugees sent by - Frederick bore a most conspicuous part. They even crossed the frontiers of France, and captured the town of Embrun, in one of the :southwestern de partments. .Marching in the van, they spread. terror through the country, and gave opportunity to many Protestants yet , 'reMaihing to ;escape from the tyr anny.-bf • their' ;persecutors, which they were not slow to embrace. We are re minde4 of scenes transpiring in our own country as' we write. The overwhelm ing zeal and desperateness with which refugees from •rebel tyranny will fight in the sight of the homes from which they have been Oivett, has been shown in the' conflicts upon the borders of East Tennessee, North Carolina, and Georgia. : The' feelings of revenge displayed by, the -. Huguenots in ravaging Dauphine are not to be commended, and, we believe, are not exhibited by the loyal regiments of ,onr army In their advances' upon those sections of reconquered territory which we have just named. The old hero De Schomberg, then ' seventy years of age, was, gladly receiv ed by William, Prince of Orange, and , • appointed second in command in his great expedition to England. Already the: Huguenot chief had visited the coasts •of -that country, to reconnoitre for a favoiable landing-point, :and' had even entered into, understandings with the leaders of the English aristocracy favor . able to William With Schomberg-Came' a great body of illnstrinuk_ Huguenot offiiiilta, seven hundred . and thirty-six in number, and three regiments of foot and a squadron of horse composed entirely of refugees. Thus the Huguenot ele ment in an army only fifteen thousand strong was very considerable. Weiss calls it " the nucleus" of William's troops ; Macaulay says nothing about it. It was by the wise advice of Schoen berg that William abandoned his origi nal plan of sailing directly up the Thames to London, and chose more modestly to land at Torbay, thus avoid ing as far as possible the attitude of a foreign conqueror. Only some insigni ficant shirmishes interfered with the progress of the expedition from Devon shire to London. The nobles and peo ple of England declared for William. James fled in disgrace ; and the revolu tion which placed a great Protestant prince on the throne of England, and which settled the religious character of Great Britain, was quietly completed in the course of six weeks. When James afterward attempted, with the help of Louis XIV., to make head against William in Ireland, and when Dublin had actually received the former as king and Protestant London derryalone acknowledged the authority of William, Schomberg, with the refugees and other troops A was sent to oppose the movement. " Your majesty may have heard," wrote ' the veteran, ' from others that the three French regiments a foot and one of horse do better ser vice [in another place he says more than doubit he service] than any others." Before the decisive battle of the Boyne was fought, William had joined his brave lieutenant. The hostile ar mies were separated by that river. At the sight of the , enemy, the refugees could contain themselves no longer. The De Schombergs, father and son, crossed the Boyne with the flower of the Huguenot army, forced back the French and Irish squadrons placed to dispute the passage, and. formed in line of bat tle on the farther side. On beholding this splendid attack, says the ,historian, William passed the river, and the action became general. " Come, friends," cried Schomberg ; "remember your courage and your griefs : your persecutors are before you." Animated by these words, they charged. the French regiments opposed to them. so impetuously that they broke on the moment. But in the pursuit, Schomberg, who fought at the head of his men, was surrounded by Tyreonnel's life-guards, from whom he received two sabre-cuts and a carbine-shot. The bffal lant old man fell, mortally wounded ; but with his dying eyes he saw the sol diers of James dispersed in headlong flight. He was eighty-two years old when he fell in the arms of triumph.. The battle of Boyne was fought July 1, 1690; and in one year, after two other victories won largely by Hugue not valor, the authority of William and Mary was established in all parts of the empire.—Martyrs of Fr:ance. CHERRY-BUD. God sometimes seems a,great way off, and we wonder if he cares for us. Jesus tells us to say, " Our Father," and the Bible teaches that "He is nigh to all them that call upon him ;" and yet we cannot help ,sometimes feeling that he is too great to mind our small affairs. This - is not a happy feeling. Oh no ;it is unhappy. Feeling so one day; I walk-; ed out on the piazza, and pilled: a bud from the cherry-tree: It was in the early spring, and the trees looked bare as winter. The bud was not a spring bud then. No. It was made last summer ; for summer is at work, not only to make leaves and flowers and fruit for its own year, but it begins 'a bud—it begins millions of buds for the next year. What a forethought this ! But a bud is a tender thing. Are they not running a great risk to come so long beforehand ; for how can they weather the winter storms, frost and ice; and wind and snow? The little cherry-bud which I held in my hand had lived through all. " How did you live, little bud ?" I said, carrying it into the house. Then I began to uncover it, and that let me into the secret. How much do you think that one cherry-bud had on ? First, I took off thirteen little chippy coverings, hugging it round like the coats of a pine cone. That -showed as if somebody cared. for it. Then I found three larger, finer, thicker ones ; and under these three more woolier and warmer. Here were six blankets, besides thirteen cover lids. What do you suppose I found between two of the blankets ? The smallest insect you ever saw, no bigger than a hair's breadth, but with legs to run away fast enough when I waked him up. "Did your mother put you in this, warm cradle ?" I asked. "Have' you slept sweetly here all winter ?" It did not answer, and seemed impatient to go. "What did, you find inside the blan kets.? Three little blab—blossoms to be, and cherries in July. They looked like three tiny babies fast asleep, and not yet ready to get up. They were not ready, for I was not the one to wake them. It belonged to that good nurse, the sun, who was fast warming up for the work. However, I thought ,I would look a little farther. " Is the flower all there inside you, little bud ?" I peeped in, and found atoms of the most _delicate white leaves you ever saw, all beautifully grained ; and Oh had :I lighted on a mine ? for here was a nest of. gold ;golden. specks, moulded an ' rounded with the rarest skill. How many ? Thirty-five. Hen PHILADELPRIA, THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1864. indeed was the blossom, and these were the pollen-boxes of the stamens, for I found each gold speck perched on a little stalk ; and all these grouping round the heart of the blossom, the future cherry. Who would have thought of finding this little world of life and beauty here ? such delicate painting, such exquisite workmanship, part fitting part, many parts fbrming a perfect - whole, and not only one, but hundreds, thousands, mil lions clinging to the dry, black branches of the garden trees. I lodked out ofthe window and thought of allithese, living, growing, perfecting, no hurry, no nose, hid from all eyes, all eyes but One. [e knows them all, counts theni all, watches them all, loves them all as they strength en and ripen, bearing another life in their warn, white bosoms, the full fruit, the rich, ripe, delicious "White-hearts" of July. Ah, the garden trees looked no longer bare. Will the great God have such care and love for a bud, and not care for you and for me ? Then God seemed no longer afar off. He was near, very near. A sweet sense of his love and ears folded me round, and I was happy, very happy.. —Child's Paper. FAMILY WORSHIP. There is not on earth a scene more interesting than a family thus bending before the God of heaven. 'A collection of dependent beings, with tender feelings, with lively sympathies, with common hopes, fears, joys, blending their bliss; -and their woes together, and presenting them all to the King of kings, and the Great - Father of all the families- of man kind.. There is not on earth a man more to be venerated, or that will be :more venerated, than the father"who thuS ministers at the family altar. ' No other man, like that father, so reaches all the sources of human action, or so gently controls the powers yielding in. 'their first years, and following the direc-, tion of his moulding hand, that are soon to coiitrol all that is tender and sacred in the interests of.the church and state. No Sblon or Lycurgus is laying 'the foun dation of codes of laWs so deep,or taking ;so fast 'a hold on all that is to affect the present or future destiny of man. `We love, therefore, to look at such venerable loch; and to contemplate these ministers of God which stand between the rising generation—feeble, helpless, and expos ed to a thousand perils—and. the Eternal Parent of all. They stand, between the past and coming age—remnants of the ,one, and lights to the other ; binding the past with that which is to come ; living lights of experience to guide the footsteps of the ignorant and erring ; to illuminate the coming generation—to obtain for it blessings by counsel and prayer, and then to .die. And if the earth contains, amid its desolations, one spot of green on which the eye of God reposes with pleas7e, it is the collected group, pith the eye of the father raised to heaven, and the voice of faith and prayer commending the 'little worshippers to the protecting care of Him who never slumbers nor sleeps. The inimitable language of Burns, on this subject, is not fiction. In hundreds of families you might witness all that is pure and sublime in the scene contem plated by the Scottish bard. "They chant their artless notes in simple guise; They tune their hearts, by far the noblest aim: Perhaps Dundee's wild warbling measures rise Or plaintive Martyrs, worthy of the mime: Or. noble Elgin beats the heav'nWard flame, The sweetestlar of Scotia's holy lays : Compar'd with these, Italian trills are tame ; The tickl'd ears no heart-felt raptures raise; Nae unison hae they with our Creator's ! praise. "The priest-like father reads the sacred page, How Abram was the friend of God on high ; Or Moses bade eternal warfare wage With Amalek's ungracious progeny; Or how the royal bard did groaning lie. Beneath the stroke of Heaven's avenglng ire; Or Job's pathetic plaint, and wailing cry; Or rapt Isaiah's wild, seraphic fire ; Or other holy seers that tune the sacredilyre. " Perhaps the Christian volume is the theme. How guiltless blood for guilty . Man was shed; How He, who bore in heaven the second name, •Had not on earth whereon to lay his head: How .his first followers and servants sped • The precepts sage they wrote to many a land ; How he who lone in Patmos banished, Saw in the sun a mighty angel stand ; And heard great .11!ab'ion's doom pronounc'd by Heaven's command. "Then kneeling down, to Heaven's Eternal King, The saint, the father, and the husband prays; Hope springs exulting on triumphant wing,' That thus they all shall meet in future days ; There ever bask in uncreated rays, No more to sigh, or shed the bitter tear, Together hymning their Creator's praise, In such society; yet still more dear; While circling time moves round in. an eternal sphere. . —Barnes' Preliminary Essay. A PRETTY THOUGHT.-I was reading the other day that on the shores of the Adriatic Sea, the wives of fishermen, whose husbands have gone far off upon the deep, are in, the habitat eventide of going down to the seashore, and sing ing, as female voices only can, the first stanza of a beautiful hymn ; and after they have sung itthey listen till they hear borne by the wind across the desert sea the second stanza, sung by their gallant husbands as they are tossed by the gale upon the waves, and both are happy. Perhaps if we could listen, we too might hear on this desert world of ours some whisper borne from afar to remind us that there is a heaven and a home, and when we sing the hymn upon the shores of earth, perhaps we shall hear its echo breaking in music upon the sands of time, and cheering the hearts of them that are pilgrims and strangers, and look for a city that hath foundations.

I hardly know which I admire mosty the logical clearness and discrimination, the definiteness and vividness of the thought, the con ciseness and perspicuity of the language, the familiar knowledge and• happy application of the Scriptures, the practical wisdom and good sense, or the wide and deep pastoral and, Christian expprience by which it is distin_ guished. It was manifestly written, not out of the reason and. the imagination, merely, but out of the heart and the life—not morel,y to stake a book, but to meet a felt want and accoinplish an important object. And in the skill with which It meets the wants of the church and the necessities of men's souls in these times, lieS its wisdom and its power.

Dr. Pond, Theological Seminary, Bangor "I have read the volume with an almost- =mingled satisfaction. It is obviously the result, not only of much Biblical study, but of high spiritual instruction, and of a deep and thorough Christian experience. The author assumes, of. course, the existence and personal l influence of Hugh a being as Satan, and attributes much of the evil ;which prevails in the Church and the world 'to his wiles. The work abounds with Scripture 'cite dons, some of which will be new and striking to intelli_ gent readers.

It is well known to the medical profession that IRON is tho VITAL PRINCIPLE or LIMO ELEMENT of the blood.
