WHO, NOT RAVING SERVO'S LO?E.
It is easy to love when eye meets eye,
And the glance reveals the heart;
When the flush on the creek can the soul bespeak,
And the lips ,in gladvss part;
There's a thrilling bliss in it loving kiss,
And a spell in a kindly tone,
And the spithath chains of tenderness •
To fettor and bind its own.
But a holier spell and a-deeper joy
For a purtr fountain flow, •
' When the soul sends higher its;incense fire,
And rests no more below:
When the heart goes up to the gate 'of heaven,
-And haws before the throne, .
• And striking its harp for sins forgiven,
Calls the Saviour all its own.
Thouph Aga= now ,on the lovely brow
That felt fur us the thorn ;
Though afar from henie'we pilgrims roam,
And our feet with..toit are worn;
't'ho'ugh we never have press'd that pierce6l hand,
It Metro Ached our.-lives above;
And we own his care, in grateful prayer,t
"Whom, not haVing seen, we love."

en we stood beside the dying bed,
And watched the loved one go,
In the darkening hour we felt his power,
As it stilled the waves of woe.
And still, as we climb the hills of time,
And the lamps of earth•grow
We are hastening on from faith to sight,
We are pressing near to Him;
And away front idols of early mould,

And long to be where his arms enfold,
"Whom, not having seen, we love."
SIZE DIED SO YOUNG.
se-her-in-the-monag-hour
No inure-she greets my eight ;
They buried her beneath the flowers,
The flowers gay and bright;
One evening in the springtime fair,
With music on her tongue ;
She pass'd away, and in despair
We wept for ot.o so young.
The violets sweet and beautiful,
Still lingered in their liars ;
Why lived she not as long as they,

Her nature was like theirs ;
And yet what boots this idle verse,
Why should my heart be wrung ;
She level, me not—ilien why should I
• Mourn that she died so young.
Beware of the Wine-Cup.
All the martyrs who have fallen in the
beastly wars of Bacchus, were drafted from
the battallions of moxierate drinkers. Past
experience shows us that it is dangerous to
drink moderately. The man of ill-trained
pride, who desires to show his power of re
sisting; temptation—the man who says "1
can Zink and not get drunk, or be a drun
kard"—is standing on slippery ground, and
is ibrtunate if he does not tali. He is tam
pering with a two-edged sword, and skirmish
ing with that wily foe, the serpent awl the
still. If the man, unaccustomed to the us
of ardent spirits, can justify an excuse for
taking a "little think.," how can he a'oid
the tempting wine-cup when he shall have
acquired a thirst for it ? That thirst comes
on imperceptibly and by degrees. The
worm of the still creeps unheard, and winds
its•coil slowly around Its victim. Then •
Beware of the wine•rup, Oh! mortals beware !
Fora liCatily and uncurious serpent lurks there,
Thu' the hues ut the mousier are pleasing and

Bt ware of the serpent, Oh ! mortals beware!
There are others who, perhaps, at first
would not so willingly drink, if left to them
selves, but declare that they cannot refuse
the pressing invitation of warm -friends.--
Though these old friends are not dragging
angels down, yet perhaps they are: leading
their associates to perdition. There are oth
ers more depraved and inure blamable than
these. I allude to those urea who openly
declare their sprees and the fun they have.
thus enjoyed, I cannot think there is mush
hope fur such. Deaf to the voice of con
science, and to the Whisperings of pride,
they are almost irretrievably gone. They
may spend their youth in 13aechanalian rev
elries, and dancefor a while the giddy drun
lard's round; yet, the harvest of life will
come, and then nothing will be reaped but
sorrow. But if there is one drunkard to be

The following , extract is from a letter:
which was written upon the. death of a
'
"It went in the mOrning:---a bright an.
adiaat morning--manywent yesterday, mor:
to-day, and theye dews to be shed for the de
parture of to-morrow. And can
.it be , won
dered that pleasautsummer mornings Should
beguile theminto going ?- 7 .1:t is a marvel
they do not wait for the burden - of the noon,
but follow the lark and her songs • over the
ruins of the 'rainbow ?—That those words
so beautiful they should make so ,true, an.
"joy cometh in the morning s?"
Going in the'morning ! A glorious morn
ing ! when the sky is all beauty, and the
world is all bliss, ere the dews have gone t.
Heaven, or the stars have gone to God; whe
the.birds are singing, and the cool winds ar:
blowing, and the flowers are out that,will b ,
shut at noon, and the clouds that are never
rent 'n twain, and the shadows inlaid wit.

We have sometimes seen "a little coffin
like a casket'for jewels, all alone by itself i
a huge hearsionelancholy with plumes, an.
gloomy aa,a,4owe, and we have thought
not so, sh,.*sl; . we,accompany those a huh

wonde.sed why they did not take the littl ,
coffiuinto:the carriage with them and lap i
gentl; upon their laps, the sleeper there lul
led to,Siumber without a bosom or a cradle.
We have wondered what there was for tea
to suoh a going—in the early morning fro
home to home—like fair, white doves wit
downy wings emerging from neather nigh
and fluttering for entrancethe windows o
Heaven. Never yet has there been a wan
ting to take the wanderer in and shut on
the darkness of the storm.
Upon these little faces, it never seemed to
us, that death could place its great seas; there
is no thought of the carnal house in those
young listeners to, that invitation, - whose ac
ceptance we are bona not to forbid; there
should be morning " gongs and sighs; fresh

or clouds, but bright dews and bright dawn
ings together.
Fold up the white robe; lay aside the for
gotten toy; smooth the little impressed pil
low and gently smile as` you think of the
garment, of gold and of the fair brow with
in the diadem of light; smile as you think
that uo years can make that memory old.—
An eternal, child, waiting about the thresh
hold of Paradise far a friend from home.
Here the glad lips would quiver with an
guish; the bright curls grow grizzled and
gray; the young hegrt weary and old; but
there, changeless as the stars, and young as
the last new morning.
The poet tells us of the green bough
rent -by the tempest, swept rudely along the
breast of an angry river, and a mother bird
with cries of grief uttering beside it, for
her nest and nestlings were there. Oh ! bet
ter to be wafteci`away from earth thus, than
that they should drift around the world in
storm.
When children turn immortal we should
write:
Sublime Picture of Old Age.
Ile greatly errs who imagines that old age
cannot be beautiful.
There is naturally but one disease—that
of old age. -To leave the world as gently as
go out the embers of the hearth or as the can
dle in its socket, without pain, shock, or
spasm, this is worth taking pains for I Lit
erally, the lot is terrible of a man with , tot
tering limbs and gray hairs; dying by piece
meal, from racking rheumatism, from spas
modic withina—from torturing gout, or the
sldw eating cancer—the mind all the while,
by reason of' incessant pain, growing More
querulous, bitter, and atheistic ! On the
other hand, how ineffably beautiful it is to
arrive at a hearty, buoyant -old age, without
ache, or pain, or sadness • .sunshine always in
the face ; gladness dm eye—the heart,
meanwhile,• welling up -Ind running over
with human sympathicE, and love divine of
whom "my mother, sang," so oft in the clear,
sweet, and cherry tones of youth and health.
'The day glides swiftly o', r their heads;
Made up of innocence and love,
And einft end silent as the shades,
Their nightly ' III mutes gently move.
Quick as their thoughts their joys come on,
But fly not halls., swift awav :
Their sou'le are ever bright as noon,
And cairn as summer eveningsb ,
.."
And when their work is done, their jour
ney ended, the life of times melts into au im
mortal existence

Thank Heaven I , that answer the nation is

the people, from Maine to the Pacific, and
so it shall be. .Does any one suppose that if

work, suppose we wage war with all the ear-•

least doubtful. And' does any man who-un
derstands the aims and the character of the
Rebel leaders think for amoment that,if we

a question not alone of suppressing rebellion

They have met every demand the Govern

fair heritage to be blighted by the triumph
of the accursed rebellion. They will remain

The Army in Summer.
Some persons seem to have the idea that
active operations in the field are going to be
suspendid till fall. Nothing of the kind.—
We are not likely to have much warmer wea
ther than that during which our army has
already fought so vigorously. Besides, the
enemy will forego nothini',,, to our injury (I),
account of the season, and we can stand ser
vice better than they can. This fact was
conclusively proved by the statistics of the
Mexican, war. How would the British ever
put down the Sepoy rebelpon if they had
not taken the field resolutely in a climate
far "hotter and more debilitating than any
which prevails in this country ? Neither
should we have carried through the war of
the Revolution but fur fighting in hot weath
er. The followilkis list of the battles

A Confirmed Grumbler.
Some time ago there Hied in Edinburgh
a. well known grumbler named Sandy Black,'
whose ofteh-recurring fits of spleen or indi
gestion produced some amusing 'scenes of,
senseless irritability, which were,highly
rel
ished brill except the brute's good, patient
little wife. One morning Sandy rose bent
on a quarrel; the huddles and eggs were ex
cellent, done on a turn, and bad beenorig,r
ed .by himself the previous evening; Old
breakfast passed without the looked-fur cause
of complaint.
"What will you have for dinner, Sandy?''
said Mrs. Black.
"A chicken, madam."
"Boast or boiled?"
"Confound it, maim, if you had been a
good and considerate wife you'd have known
before this what I liked." Sandy' growled
out, and, slamming the door behind him, left
the house. It was in spiing,`. and a friend
who was present heard , the little wife. say,
"Sandy is bent on a disturbance to-day;
%Lill to
The dinner-time came, and Sandy and his
friend sat down to dinner, the fish was eaten
in silence, and, on raising the cover of the
dish before Min i in a towering passion. he
called out, "Boiled chicken? I hate it; Mad
am.. 'A chicken boiled is a chicken spoiled."
Immediately the cover was raised for a
nother chicken, roasted to a turn.
"Madam, I won't eat roast chicken," roar
ed Sandy; "you know how it should have
been cooked !"
At the instant a broiled chicken, with
mushrooms, was placed on the table.
"Without green peas!" roared the grum
bler.
"Hero they are, dear," said Mrs. Black.
'Mow dare you spend my mouez in that
way?"
"They 'were a present," said the wife in
terrupting hiin.
Rising from his chair and rushing froth'
the room, amidst a roar of laughter from his
friends, he clenched his 'fist and shouted,
"How dare you receive a present without my
leave !"

There is not a journal in the e unary that

A minister in' the suburbs 4: Etlinhii'rg;
some time ago, met a man 'whoie'ciiantenaikce
was the picture of despair, hiAtink
„AM*
nd — concettling — something -- under -2
The minister asked him what 3v theihatter.
The reply - Was: .

',Weil,' treFetited,
Still lam determined
~ to hang' atiYself. I
cannot live. 1 can earn £2 eek at my
Work,. hut i. T
I. cannot save a half-penny of it.
I liavS ruined Myself by . dritAlheve beg
gared my wife; and family can live no
longer.' ;
'Now,' said the minik!,hou , ntust join
the total abstinence Societf .
'I - have dime it already, he answered,' many
a_time, but I'm no better. I • cant help it.'
'Well,' said the mini ster, I willtell you
what we will . , do. I am . .not.,a n abstainer,
never was, anill have always liked a glass of
wine, but if you` will promise to keep the .
pledge; I . will take' it along with you; and
We will keep• it together.'
The man's attention was arrested; they
both put their names to a' paper drawn up on
the spot, and after keeping it secretly fiir cis
week's, publicly joined• qtotat abstinence so
ciety.. Several years afterward, the minister
related this incident in a largo,, company of
other Ministers, and added: "hat roan
ip
now a member of My .. inie Of
the most , active 'elders in it. I now ask you ;
did I right or did I wrong? If I •did right,
then I ask you to go and do likewise.'
Sad Incident of the .Wati
A correspondent, writing form , Harrison's
Landing, July 11th, mentions a peculiarly
d istressing incident of the latelattles hefbre
Richmond. The Tory regiments were draWn
up, in line of battle, awaiting an attek. from
the enethy, when a Rebel soldier was seen to
emerge from the woods - and come inthe,
tian of the regiment. His obippt was un
knoWn, 'and as he carried his druid and `Sc-
coutremente it was not even gunAed'at. bar
hose•-•tham—heantas..lookinc..
dente of a brother. Some one, drew mid
shot' him through the bowels as he came
within firing distance. As he fell he called
for a surgeon., and" begged that his life might
be saved. He said he was a good Union man
—that the old
. flag was his flag—=and though
he was fighting against it; it was apon com
pulsion. He had 'been forced to join a
Mississippi regiment, and was" in the act of
escaping to the Nothern troops When he was
shot. The poor fellow drew from bolo
a little picture of the "Star Spangled Banner,'
which he said he had carried a year. Ba , ,
alas, surgical skill could not avail him: H
died in a short time beneath the old flag at
last, just as he hoped the day of his deliver
ance bad come.—troy Times.
BACK SOON.—We went to the office door
of a friend and fowl* it a card,.with this
inscription, Gone to-----Back,soon.'.
So, we thought,, men just step out of vir
tue's path to view temptation,. intending , to
some back soon. Alas ! -they know no t
chorus and power of sin: Many a person
tolls his conscience; I will just look at a cer
tain „master, but will be back soon. The
world of despair contains many lost sinners,
who intended to come back soon from a sea
son of indul 'n sin. Back soon, hardly
ever applies to the ielding to tempta
tion. Generally, it is ong way and n long .
time back to true repentance and peace.
How many brave and true hearted soldiers
have gone to the army who told their friends
that they would be back soon.. God grant
they may; but what chances are against thein.
'Back soon' Som any place, is what God on
ly knows will be true in every case. Death
regards no man's appointments.—Dt.r.

MAraJ3lokiY BO ft N DED. —The state of
matrimony has at last been bounded and de
scribed by some Western student, wha says:
'lt is . hounded by huging and kissing on one
side, and cradles and babiep on the other.
Its chief products are populat; on, broomsticks
aid staying out' late o' nights. It was dis
