We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred
thousand more;
From Mississippi's winding stream and from New

We leave our ploughs and workshops, and wives

With hearts too full for utterance, but with a silent

We dam not look behind as, - but -steadfastly be.

Long moving lines of rising dust your vision may

And now the wind, an instant, tears the veil a
side,
And floats aloft our spangled flag in glory and in
pride ;
And bayonets in the annlight gleam, and bands
brave music pour—
We are coming, Father Abraham—three hundred
. thousand more !
If you look all up our iiiireyit:lthere...ths groping
harvests shine, .-
. You may see our sturdy farmer boys fast forming
into line;
And children from their mother's knees are pulling
at the weeds,
And learning how to reap and sow, against th eir
country's needs;
And a farewell group stands weeping at every cot.

We ore coming, Father Abraham—three hundred
thousand more !
You have called us, and we're coming, by Rich

To lay us down for freedom's sake, our brother's

Or from foul treason's savage grasp to wrench the
murderous blade.

Be still, thou weary heart, he 601
Why beat so wildly now !
The darkening clouds, they soon must pass,

Yon cloud that seemed so dark above
May richest blessings pour,
And if the heart is true to love,
Its sorrows will pass o'er.
For on the wings of morning light
The night dews guirkly fly,

Our sorrows Wither, die. -
Where is the heart that treasures not

In 'Memory's cell there's4ne green spot,
Though round stern ruin's cast.
The loud wife's tear, the sister's smile
Bedewed each opening year;
They bloom where Hope has past from view,
And live and flourish tLere.
Then, heart, be brave! bnw not the head!
There's.stonething left to love ;
The clouds, they will assutyler part
Before the sun above,
The withetim; Imo it must decay
And perish from the stem,
But in its place the bud will bloom,
A floweret smile again.

SPEECH OF REV. A. COOKMAN.
The following eloquent speech of the able
divine, Rev. Alfred Bookman, was delivered
at the war meeting in Lancaster, on Saturday
last -
FELLOW CITIZENS: This is to me a some
what unexpected call, but I should feel my
self recreant to every great principle of pat
riotism and of truth if 1 refused or even hes
itated in this, my native county, for it may
not be known to many of you that I first o
pened-my-eyes upon -God's world within the
lift.s of old Lancaster; it gave me a being,
and it gave me one of the best of wives, so
'that I feel under immense obligations to it._
[Cheers.] I say that I should feel myself re
creantto.every principle of truth and right,
if I hesitated to: seize this opportunity to
say, in the lan,, , mage of old John Adams,
"Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish,
I give my heart and hand" to these Union
measures. It is my living sentiment; liber
ty and the Union now, liberty and the Union
forever. [Great applause] . •
It is nseiess for any"' us to disguise the
fact 7 --the stern and startling fact—that this
.Union; which is so unutterably . dear-to our
heartkiptr at the prnsent , in., imminent
Thousands, yea,,,landredt; of thousands of
our fellow-citizens; or cuedand armed, are
intent, upon the overthrow•-of this, I dare to
say, the very best Government that yonder
sun- ever looked dowii - tiptin; a Goverment
which ought to be. jußt as dear to them as to
ourselves; , a GOiernment, „with which our
own hopes and the-hopealifour children and
childien's children are intithately bound u
to the very latest : siineration; "'

power for the overthrow of despotism, error
ignorance, and everythiug_which could hin
der the Coming of His kingdom. Thousands
and hundreds of thousands of - our fellow cit.
izensovith_wrae_thtui_Vantlaklike violence
are rushing forward to' destroy ther.super
structure of that Government. Now the
practical, inquiry occurs, vrtirt is to be done?
The answer, •it appears to me, is an •easy ow.
My fellow citizens, what would you do if te l .
.ight at 12 o'clock you were to fitid an as
amain in your bed chamber, fully resolved up
on your life? I make no question but that
you would spring from your slumbers and
grapple with him, and not even hesitate to
put him to death in order to save your own
life. 'Parent, what would you do if a rebel
lion Were to arise in your domestic circler--
Weald not you Stretch forward the hand of
authority and quickly quell it? Citizens of
Lancaster, what would you'do if an infamous
niob should rise up in these streets to destroy
valuable property and imperil precious life?
I make no doubt that you•would take down
the muskets and rifles, still remaining among
you, and with the point of the bayonet or
with too use of ammunition drive back and
put down such a mob. And you would do
right. Self-protection would demand such a
course. And in this case it is a stern• duty.
As Luther remarked on one occasion; 'May
God help us, we cannot do otherwise." That
glagj!) l l92v"anu4t Iloat i :Aualifuterpmeut must
be mat ed. . [Cheers.] Our ITitiii3 Mat,
be preserved and perpetuated in all itt puri
ty and integ rity. - [Cheers.] Millions may
be spent, ndreds of thousands of lives may
be sacrificed, a whole generation may be blot
ted out, and still we insist thatr it is of the
very first consequence that our nationality
be vindicated. ["Good," and cheers.] Now
I apprehend that it bi with this great prin
ciple in view we arc assembled • and associa
ted this afternoon. A remark of Col. For
ney's brought to my mind a circumstance
which transpired many years ago. It is said
that in a military engagement which occur
red somewhere near the boundary line which
.43 • .. 1 1. l2 Lad Scotland a •ouno•
chieftain fell just at the moment w en, at
the head of his troop, he was furiously and
successfully charging the foe. His comrades
in arms, seeing him fall, were immediately
seized with coristernation, and began to re
tire in confusion Witnessing this, his soul
immediately filled with sorrow, and,although
he was feeble, he managed with some effort
to raise himself upon his elbow, and while
the life-blood was fast gushing from the gap
ing wound, while eternity - was opening be
fore him, he seized his sword and waving it
over his head, shouted at the top of his voice,
"My boys, lam not dead l lam not dead,
but I am looking to see that every man does
his duty." [Cheers ] So Tam here this af
ternoon to say that our Union is not dead.—
She has been wounded, foully and fearfully
wounded; and, observe, too, in the house of'
her friends. Still she is not dead. Hear it
you daughters and sons of Lancaster, she is
not dead—never dead; but sword in hail,
she is looking to see that every citizen does
his duty. [Great 'applause.] She, is look
ing to ascertain whether, in this time of ex
igency, we will rally ti) the rescue- '
wheth
er in this, the darkest hour of the Republic,
we will come up united to the help of free
dom and the help of God. For, remember,
this is the cause of truth ; this is the cause
of justice; this is the ,cause of freedom; this
is the cause of Union; this is the cause of'
God. [Cheers.] I insist that God is al
ways on the side oftruth and justice and
freedom. Will you not then, will not . you,
will not all these young men and citizens,
esteem it at mice an obligation, and a privi
lege, and a joy to consecrate their energies,
their substance, their time, their lives and
their all upon the altar of our country's
cause? [Cheers.]
Allusion has been made to the patriot
daughters of Lancaster. God bless them !
I see them in these windows and assembled
in the vicinity rf this stand. God bless
them ; Fathers, wives, daughters, sisters
collected here, we have sonic faint idea of
the sacrifice you are called upon to make,
and of the sufferings which you, in the prov
idence of God, must still. undergo, Still, I
trust that a majority of you have the spirit
j of that mother in • Philadelphia, who said,
the other day, "What arc sous worth with
out a country ?" [Cheers.] I trust you
have the spirit of a friend and former parish
loner of mine in the borough of Harrisburg,
who has sent six stalwart-sons,to the scene
of strife. Just before they - left home and
their mothers presence they assembled in a
photographic gallery anti had their pictures
taken, the eldest son standing in the midst
of his other brothers, and grasping the flag
of the stars and stripes, and that picture left
With the mother, is an evidence of 'undying
affection.: I think, too, in-'this connection
of a. mother in the State of New York, whose
son, the other day, proceeded, to the seat-of
'.war. He was connected with the Sheppard
Rifles, Colonal Pereira commanding: It so
occured that the young man's position' was
'at, the end of the platoon, near the curbstone
and theWiother anxious 'to be With him as
long as' he remainedia.New-York,-took her

theless, go and fight these battles of truth
and justice and liberty, and God's blessing
must be upon you and lours. [Applause.]
As the last speaker remarked, it is :a glentny
hour in out Country's history; but I , appre
.hend, my fellowe itiomrthat - ifrok - over
the events of the last fifteen months tve still
find reason for thankfulness. Is it nothing
that effemaney, Nyhich was beginning to
curse our citizency, has met so powerful and
sufficient' an antidote? Is it' nothing that
that spirit of insubordination 'which has been
so painfully rife in our 'happy land, and
which is, pethaps, one of the very causes of
our present troubles, is receiving so effectu
al a cheek ? Is it nothing thift our patriot
isth, which seemed almost cold, is to-day
burning with a brilliant flame? That that
sentiment which had almost died out has be
come a principal passion in the nation's heart!
I take it upon myself to say that there have'
been more acts of moral heroism in this land,
within the last fifteen months, than in all
our history previously. [Cheers.] And is
this nothing? Is 'it - nothing 'that success
from time to time has crowned our arms ?
Is it nothing that Nashville is ours ? Is it
nothing that Memphis is ours? and New Or
leans is ours, and Norfolk - 1s ours, and Win
chester is ours and the Shenandoah Valley
is ours, and that Richmond is, we trust 'and
issoon'& 'be ours? [Cheers.] Is 'it
ing thaElhat flag which we all loire so
'.the way, I am just hero re-
Minded 'of e ti.se t of a, rebel 'prisoner
who saidlit'Ufriend o ; "that when they
came within sight of the old flag th - er. -wear.°
very likely to feel weak in the knees.—
[Laughter and applause.] • I say is it 'noth
ing that that grand -old flag; on the last
fourth of July, floated in every one of .the'
thirty-four States ? [Cheers.] Is all that
nothing? [Great applause.]
Some of you, perhaps, have heard of a
very remarkable iron egg, said to be still
preserved in the city of Dresden. There is
a legend connected with this egg, which
runs somewhat to this effect: On a certain
occasion, a prince sent the iron egg to -his
he-rove' : • • • :• .
looked at it, and becoming entirely disgusted
with so rude a present, she flung it in
gust upon the ground. As it struck the.
earth, a secret spring was touchdd, and lo I
a silver yolk rolled forth from the egg. As
she gathered up the yolk, she touched anoth
er secret spring, and lo! a 'ruby crown ap
peared. She touched a secret spring in the
ruby crown, and lo ! her eyes were blessed
with the sight of' a magnificent marriage dia
mond ring. So let me remind you that this
nation from the halid of God's Providence
seemed te• have received an iron egg—an egg
all crusted with tears and clotted with Woo&
but lo! with the dismatitling of Sumpter ) a•
secret spring was touched, and a silver yolk
appeared, which, like a shield of patriotism,
spread all over the Northern States of this
great and glorious Union: A secret spring
in the silver yolk of patriotism was touched,
and instead of one golden chicken we have
a brood. McClellan, (cheers.]-11alleck,
Banks, Burnside; Hunter Foote, Farragut,
Grant, Buell, and many others whom I might
and perhaps ought Co name. [Cheers.]—
Now those golden chickens are each one
bringi.ng - forth a ruby croft of victory.—
Mc C lellau, Yorktown; Mika, Corinth;
Banks, Winchester; Burnside, Roanoke and
Newborn; Grant, Forts Henry and Donelson;
Buell, Shiloh; Foote, Island No. 10; and Far
ragut—not a very pretty name, b certainly
a very pretty deed—has given us Ne Or
leans. Hach one has contributed his ruby
to make up a great crown of victory, and
when the secret spring in that crown shall be
touched the ring of the Union will appear
still unbroken, and rendered mere beautiful .
and valuable than ever before by the addi
tion of the sparkling diamond of universal
- [Trethendous applause.]
" e;ott,l iK vinishing from the day ;
Le ! the right is about to conquer—
Clear the w iy 1"
Men of thought, men oractiou, clear the
.Way ! Otrr army at•llarrison's Landing, our
country dismembered an d bleeding, the
cause of freedom throughout the world, and
God sitting upon the circle of yonder firma

The . Dying Scadier. ,
OR, PEACE IN DEATH.
A ,ious_soldier mortal! wounded - in one
of the great battles 6* the entnsu a war,
was carried ,by two or three attached cot*.
rades to the rear of the scene j ot action.—
They laid him
. unner a tree; unwilling to
leave him in such a condition of agony and
peril, lingered beside him to see if there was
no other act of kindness which they could do.
His speech seemed affected; so that he was
unable to answer intelligibly to their inqui
ries, but he made them understand by signs
that he would not wish them to stay with
him to the neglect of their post of duty in
the battle; Reluctantly they -left him and
returned. A little after an officer who had
been ha-tily summoned from a distance to
join the action, rode past. He pulled up on '
seeing a.fellow countrymen alone and bleed
ing to death, and asked if there was nothing
he could do for him. The soldier murmur
ed something in the negative, and motioned
to him also to.go forward. "My poor fellow,"
said the officer kindly, "If you -are so far
gone as to be beyond the reach of help your
self, perhapsl could do something for your
friends at home; is there no message I could
carry flq you to your wife and children ?"
At the mention of his flintily a flash of
c ,, useiousuess seemed to return to the dying
ing man. He said distinctly : "Yes; knap
sack—book."
The officer dismounted and opened the
knapsack beside him. Ile searched for a
book in it, and soon thew out a Bible. The
soldier continued : "Bead John xtv. 27."
The hand which held it was little accus
tomed to turn 'over the sacred pages, and
slowly, and not without difficulty, the verse
was found and read. A radiant and heaven
ly smile lighted up the poor :man's features
she listened. "There? There !" he ex
claimed in thrilling and triumphant tones,
"is all I want. I have peace. I am going
home; my Saviour is waiting to receive me."
The officer gazed on him a moment in
speechless astonishment, and then_ remem
bering that he ought to have been at his
post before new; threw the Bible into the
knapsack, sprang into the saddle and was
gone.
Within.an hour afterward this same officer
was curried by his men on a rude' litter, out
of the field of battle. lie too, was mortally
wounded, and had not spoken until they ap
proached tho.tvec where the lifeless remains
of the soldier were now stretched on the
field. The spot too vividly recalled the 'cir
cumstances which had taken place there so
short a time before., Passing his hand over
his forehead, he was heard to say, in tones of
heartfelt anguish : "I haVe no Bible, I have
no peace,, there is no Saviour waiting to re
ceive me

More Precious than Rubies.
Would it not please you to pick - tip strings
of pearls, drops of gold, diamonds and pre
cious stones as you pass along the street?—
It would make you feel happy for a month
to come. Such happiness you can give to
others. How, do you ask? By dropping
sweet words, kind 'remarks and pleasant
smiles as you pass along. These are' true
pearls and precious stones, which can never
be lost; of which none can deprive you.—
Speak to that orphan child; see the pearls
drop from her cheeks. Take the hand of
the friendless boy, bright diamonds flash in
his eyes. Smile on the sad and dejected, a
joy suffuses , his cheek more brilliant than
the most precious stones. By the wayside,
amid the city's din• and, the fireside of the
poor, drop words and smiles to cheer -and
bless. Yon will feel happier when , resting
upon your pillow 'it the' close of . the day,
than if yon,had picked up a score of perish
ing jeweli.:-.Thelatter fade and Crumble in
timey the farther - grow' brighter; with age,
and prdfluee happier reflections forever.
