Thoughtful visions now are stealing Through the cloisters of the brain; A radiant light of hope revealing, That for years has smoldering lain. In the chambers, dim and lonely, Of a mind 'whose sweetest thrill Trenibles with that hope which only The far future can fulfill. These bright visions now are flinging Hope-gleams o'er my panting soul ; And I feel within me springing Power to win the longed-for goal. Can I dare now be irmotive ? Listlessness ne'er won the prize; Toil, however unattractive, Leads to where true greatness lies. Hope stands pointing, as a motive, At the luring page of fame ; < And incites to actions votive, At her shrine to win a name. Viewing, in the shadowed distance, Many a light to beckon on, Fain I'd battle 'gainet resistance, Ttli.the'orowning height be' won. Disappointments meet us often, Aet whatever way We will; Trust me, time their sting will soften, And new energy instill. Waste not hours in vain repining O'er the blighted,hope's of life; Nor despair', though the designing Oft unman thee in the strife. Should the hope thou now dot cherish, Threngb long years elude thy grasp;. Let not faith nor virtue perish, Just because thou must not clasp To thy breast, in one brief hour, That which years of toll must gain- 7 - Years in Which dark clouds may lciwer, Fraught with labor, care t and pain. But ineoribe thy motto, ever, Oswann, UPWARD, as the flight Of our country's bird, which never Pauses till he gains the height, Where he sits alone, and towering In a grandeur all his.own, Seeding-not, though storrnsbe gathering Bound his elevated throne. But repress this restless longing, Empty is the world's applause ; Higher hopes OHM soon come thronging Through this,vail of gilded sante. And Eternity shall startle Rapturous visions on the eight; Now unknown to earthly , mortal ' Graiping after gold and might. Pittsburgh, May, 1858. - for the Preehyterhte Banner and Advocate; Thoughts of 'Conifort FOR CHRISTIAN PILGRIMS WHO ARE OFTEN WITHIN THE ''WALLS' -4 4 1i015ETITIO CASTLE." Number. A. Are you afraid of PERSECUTION ? 66 Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill'the soul—the very - hairs of your head are allnumbered. Fearle not, therefore." - , Ashamed of Jesus? Never, Lord; never. Afraid of men ? They have no power to injure you, without your Father's permis sion ; why then fear the Malice of a scoffing world. The-servant is not greater than his Lord. The world hated• the Saviour long ere it hated' you. If they persecuted him, they will also persecute you. The very hatred .of the _ungodly, shows that you are not of their oompany- 7 ---they love their Grip, Let the men of, the world laugh at you; lit them call youa melaneholy, religious maniac; and think you a poor, mean t weak-sp irited wretch, if they choose; whit la tliat to thee:?' You must rejoice, and nothe'afrafil of yorir fellow-man. A. true child of 'Odd rhusit not expect to pass - along through' the 'World; without the ill will of the ()torah:4 Of his Master. The laugh of the scorner I' la it so terrible then ? Why do theY iabgh v. Be cause you are following the Saviour. - Do they laugh because you are seeking the' %d -ilation of your soul ? Behold, the day com eth - when the evil spirits will laugh' at the ruin of souls, and'when the dark vaults of. hell, itself will resowi with laughter, at the loss of precious souls, Then, says the Al mighty, "1, also, will laugh at their ,calam ity.' Oh, Christian, are you the jest, of the , soornor now? Wait a little—the rejoicing will soon be changed into sorrow; Fear them not ;• they are the bbieols of your . pity; and not of fear. " Lit pot; your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." . But, are you afraid Of PAIVEINA I "I have been young, and now am old„ yet have I not seen the righteoliS t forsiiken, nor his seed begging bread." This' is the testimony of a man who had endured trouble and sorrow; yet as he passed along the rugged road of life, he experienced -so much of the goodness of the Lord that he has left many inscriptions of comfort, for those who would come after. Here and there, in the journey of life, do pious pilgrims set up a atone--a pillar, to mark some great deliverance—some remem brance of dangers safely passed., through. Sometimes it is, " Surely goodness and mercy bath followed me all the days of my life; again " Ebenezer l—hitherto bath, the Lord helped me." David make/3 this record, that in all his life, he cannot recall a single,, instance of the righteous having ever been forsaken;or his children forced to beg their bread. Surely, this is encouraging. "No :1 0 0 thing will be withhold from those who walk upiightly." This promise is good only to the active Christian, who waika; makes progresm in the Divine life. Half-hearted Christiana, who Work harder for gold than for the Redeemer, and who are at ease in Zion, have nothing to do with it. The true Christian shall have all his wants for time, and for the hereafter,'Well supplied. Fear not, then, that ye shall come to want.' Are you not alive tbis day? 'Have not 'ycrur wants been supplied ? If God has been faithful in the past, can you 'not`trust him for the future ? Why should the young be so anxious about a Support for I old age ? They may never live to be old. ;And why should the aged fear for their children ? Trust in God, be active in his service, and he will preserve you. Remember, it is the righteous who are not forsaken; 'tis they who walk uprightly, who shall want no good thing, If you are a true Christian, if you are thus walking, you have no right to be afraid of famine. S.L.C. for the rreabyterfan Banner and Advocate Church Edifices. REV. Da. MCKINNEY :—Deccr Brother : —I was much interested in a communication recently published in the Banner, under the signature of V., on the subject of Church Edifices. There was, more truth than poetry in V.'s thoughts on the bearing that neat church edifices have in drawing people to the house of God, and' in otherwise improv ing their taste. and habits, both in families and larger elides. Whether, as V. snp •poses, they help ministers to preach better sermons—sermons more instructive. and deep ly ezperimental—is a different question. When the minister has a' neat and comfort able house in whiCh to preach, and a ' soine what confiding hope that such a. house will show, a good audience, it may possibly rouse the slumbering energies of his soul to pre pare sermons that. may, anderG r od's blessing, have a more'awakening and drawing 'chine ter ,than• under other circumstances would be realized. It was the privilege of: the writer, recently, to pay a visit to the Rorth-Eastern part of Allegheny . County, and spend an in teresting 'sacramental season in the congre gation of 'Plum Creek, of 'Which Rev. S. M. McClung has been the earnest and efficient pastor for more than a score .of years. This was a, park of, thneounty that he no, never visited before, though long fainiliar with the pastor, and acquainted with a few; of 'the people. And he can truly say that 'he was much gratified and interested in all that he saw, with one exception: The faqe of the 'country is, perhaps, a little more, br6ken with , ravines, and marked with ,more, lofty, hills than South of the Moaongahela ; yet the soil is rich, abounding in: . good springs and flowing rivulets, and.. generally' , underlaid • with extensive beds of most exaellent s coal., Nor have the farmersbeen sleeping.. The, land, seems well cultivated, and hide fair ~to. yield a beputiful harvest. It is true that the buildings are not . generally so good ,and tasteful as firther Sbuthi'yet even in 'this there is evidence of progress in the-,•right directicin. Some have Aonvenienty tasteful, and evert, elegant , buildings„ . ehowing good taste and a spirit to meet the demands of the age ; and no doubt a few more years will' in tliierespief ahow"e' great change. The , people, themielves; are frank, open, and kind heartediin an unusual degree. In regard to church-going habits they are prompt and regular, showing, , even on, week days, an ex ample that might well be imitated by others in older =localities. 'They seem to set• a high value on Gospel privilegee, and leave not ministers to preach to empty pews. One thing we learned,that gave us great pleasure; they, are punctual' and_ prompt , in paying their-minister his promised salary, not leav ing it 'lie back from month to - month, whether the minister need it or not, show ing a Il t ftrilllllolollB if ,not &sinfully forgetful spirit ,of what is right and:lnver. Besides, they ; appear to' leve and reaped their minis ter, da, well as to love each Other as Christian brethren striving to live at peace, and• thus show how delightful, it is. fore brethren to dwell tegether in : unity. We ,4ave, i alr9ady remarked, that there was one draw hack, in , 'the present aspect of things ; one, show ever, which we hope will soon be remedied. • We "mean that "their house ''of worship is sadly behind the spirit of the age, and' , far 'below what a churoh,so interesting and, well td do as Plum Creek owe to their own piety, • age h andr standing as church, as well as what is die' to the Mister'S honer and We should live in ceiled- houses 'our- salves; -when.

For the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate Revival in the Church of Millstone, Pres bytery of New Brunswick. JUR. Eniron—Dear Sir :—Amid the many precious seasons of God's refreshing influence upon' the various churches noticed by you, perhaps it may cheer and encourage BOW heart to know that he has again gm eiously poured out his Holy. Spirit.upon the church °Millstone. During lasi Winter, he, gave us a reviving season, when twenty four were added to our communion, on exaniina., tion. , He has again remembered us iii piercy,: and for the last six months his Spirit, has, been graciously doing his office work among us. In Oeteber last, it was ourlappy lot' to be ',called upon to give up two of Qin mem ber's, to go as missionaries to Colima, Africa Itev., T. S. Ogden and wife, who was the daughter of one of our elders. This, at tha time, 'seemed to be "a great trial`„te the congregation, babas proved " a most precious blessing.; Beginning with that time, reviv ing inflpettoes were felt by the people, which have increased to the present, resulting in the addition oeforty'persons, on exarnina tion, to our - church, 'near one-half of whdm were heads 'of families. Nine were young men and °Ube whole number,.twenty-nine were baptized— . No extra .measures, have been used, oF services' introduced; apart frem the ordinaiy preaChing, family visitation and prayer, ex cept inv December` last, a Visitation Com inittee of Presbytery held , a three days' ser vice . ; in the congregatien and on, another occasion we had three, evening services, by. fleighboring pastors: The spirit of prayer seemed to be poured out upon the people of God, and of inquiry upon others. And.t6 offithere, and others'of the congregation,-held: many evening meetings from house to house, for pra7er and conversation with the : people; while preaChing and visitation were attended to by the pastor. • The people seemed to feel much interest in the prayer-tneetings,of Jour West ern Synods. I Balled their attention to the proceedings of the meeting ; read the letter to your'churches from the pulpit; and re. commended the uniting with , you in the ilay. set: apart for fasting and prayei', which, I think, had,a happy, influence. * A means of much good to us has been the circulation of the, Tracts of our Board, freely 'amongst the people,4Speciallythose—"Shall I go to the - Lord's Supper ;?'t: "'Why am' I Aut . tv communicant r a Come to Jesus ;" "Too : Late." The, good work With us has been peculiar, for its quietness—very precious,' and long contillifed kits seasons of refresliment rm. which -we 'would bless God, and heartily pray for its continuance,andincrease.

I was 'struck by the amazing changes and im provements in street architecture and reno vation.
