Where they heat.
to a little valley hollowed
Prom the mountain's verdant crest,
Far above the ocean's level,
Far above the World's gay revel,
Just beneath the vaulted heaven,
Where its first pure breath is given,
There they rest.
•
In tho Spring wild bee murmurs
O'er the sod above them pressed ;
And the humming-bird is darting,
Pausing, humming, sipping, starting,
Sipping nectar from the'elover,
And the roses bending'over
Where they rest.
There a little streatulet glideth,
Smiling on like something blest;
And the fresh winds from the mountain,
Joining with that sweet-voiced fountain,
Sing a oe4seleis song above them,
l l or all Nature seems to love them.
In their rest.
NowAhe'little "Pleasant valley"
In a pure white robe is dressed;
And the winds in solemn measures,
Ch'ant their dirge, and wondrous treasures,
Ermine robes and gems in keeping,
Winter casts above the sleeping,
Still they rest.
These are but the caskets, folded
In the valley's sheltering breast
But by Faith, we see the shining
Of the crowns of peace, entwining
Spirit brows all white and pearly,
Of the loved who left us early,
Seeking rest.

KEEPING RELIGION TO ONE' SELF.
" What do you think of Mr. L.'s . reli
gion," said one to his neighbor, as they
were on their way home from a public meet
ing, in which Mr. L. had taken a prominent
part.
"I don't think anything about it," was
the reply ; " he keeps his, religion to him
self so closely that I can 't form any opin
ion respecting it."
Mr. L. was a member of the church.
He was pretty regular in his attendance
upon -public worship on Sabbath morning.
He never attended the prayer•meeting, or
any special services, except funerals. He
never criticised the sermons or the proceed
inga of the minifiter. in fact,' he never
said snything, good or bad, on the subject
of religion. He kept his religiOn, if he
had any, to himself
He „did not keep his politics to himself.
He was an earnest politician. He seldom
met a man without having something to
say on some rlblitical topic: He was re
markably courteous when there was any
prospect of gaining a vote. It was plain
that if he had been half as anxious to make
converts to Christ as
. he was to bring men
over to his political party, he could not ,
have kept his religion to himself so closely:
He'did not keeP his business to himself.'
He did not, talk about his business when
there was no cause for so doing. But he
was ready to speak on business matters
whenever there was a call for it. He was
a man of enterprise, and gave employment
to a large number. He was disposed •to
• '
assist others in -their need, and to interfere
with none. He was said to be one of those
men who' are willing to live and let live.
But he kept his religion to himself.
Why did he do so ? Was it because it was
so dear to him ? because he prized it so
highly ? was it a thing too sacred to be
spoken of
No man is to make a. display of-his re
ligion ; bat it does not follow that he is
to conceal it. Christ commands all• his fol
lowers to let their light shine—to let men
see that they arilis followers.
THE SECESSION IVOMEN
Females are generallyrpatriotio. _Right,
or wrong, they will _side with their hus
bands, fathers; and brothers. It is so in
the South. Some Northerners, from this,
say that the rebel - .women deserve all they
suffer. . Doubtless they do, in the sight of
Him who rules over all, and rules 'right
eously. But before men they may share in
pity. They are illy-informed. They hear
of nothing, and have opportunities to read
of nothing, but aggressions and bad inten
tions OD the, part of the North. ln most
of their remarks and letters, however, as
published, there is-a ferocity and malignity.
utterly unbecoming the sex. One example
we find, of' a different character. It is ad
dressed by two of the Winchester girls to
the Southern soldiers, previously to the ad
vance -of .GeMi, BANKS to that place.
They thus write :
AN APPEAto---Soldiery of the South !
are your hearts not quickened by the many
urgent and repeated calls from "the chil-'
dren, wives, and grand-sires hoary" of the
South We know you must be moved ;
but so much do we feel for your honor as
Southrons i and the cause for which you are
fighting, that we, two Virginia girls, would
fain put in our little word of entreaty.
We would implore you to 'deeide upon re
enlisting forthwith, and net' wait to be
platted in the degrading position of, militia
men. Oh 1 how we do wish our volunteers
were as earnest about continuing in the ser
vice as the militia, are eager for exemption;
then, indeed, would we have a glorious
army. Who would not love to have it re
corded on the pages of our future (}story,
that the Southern army was composed , of
volunteers, who, after one year enduring
unparalleled hardships and perils . by Kea
and land, feared not coming dangers;'.het
ever alarmin"g, but loving their conritry
better than themserves, reenlisted to

your descendants I Would you beloved
soldiers, desert our standard in this our

freed," we hear each and every one of you
cry. Brave-souled men ! True-hearted
womea will give you many cheering words
and heartfelt blessings. Will it not nerve
you to further exertion tOtknow that while
you fight`we pray to the -Supreme Ruler of
the universe to defend you from the as
saults of your enemies, and to strengthen
you when you grow weary and weak?
One more appeal would we make, and
that to the Virginitrsoldiers---ourtest be
loved, oar gallant ones. Was there ever a
time when the call "To Arms!" was not
responded to by the grand old mother
State ? Her prestige must not be dimmed
by any act of yours, sons. of Virginia.
Let her be now, as she ever has been, first
in all great and glorious deeds. The eyes
of the whole civilized world are turned to
her in'eager exieetancy. To you it be
longs to make brighter her fame. Give to
God your hearts, and to your country your
energies, and if need be, tour lives.
This is intensely pro-Southern.; but, un
der their conception of things, it is patri-,
otic. It is tender. It is womanly. We
cannot but wish that such females were
better informed., that such love might to
consecrated to their country, and their in
fluence be turned to the suppressing of re
bellion.

prison in which Joseph. Alleine was con
.fined. He died in the year (1707) ,in
which ir',4S huilt a chapel Whiehremaini to
this day; and which is now'being restored
and modernized. It is built of hewn 'stone;

Arignism, began to creep in, but not very
speedily. Bowden was., the first pastor after
the erection of the
,charZl, and had previ
ously addisted Humphrey Philips in his
declining ',years: Dining the course of his
Ministry, Arianism prevailed in the West
of England, and hp wies.suspected of lean
' ings to it. i Dr. Houstown, aScottish min
ister, had beCoMe his assistant; a separa
. than 'ensued; and the chief part of the
people chive to the Evangelical and Scot
'tfsh pastor. Mr. Bciwden was succeeded
by various . Arian ministers. All traces of
the heresy have ,disappeared from Frame.
In 1789 the two churches were reunited,
and since that day Evangelical, preaching
has been' maintained its fullness. The
present form of church—and since 1789
'
is Congregational. There is an old en
dowment of £BO per annum.
In this chapel the Rev.. Walter Singer,
(imprisoned for Nonconformity, for a time,)
was buried. Here also lie the remains of
his dangttet,;Mrs. Eliz.abeth Rowe, the
friend of,Dr. Watts, and author of "Devout
Exereises" of the Heart," and other works.
She was the friend of Bishop Reim,
the
Noujuliat; and - was so intimate' with the
'noble fatally of Bath, that - scime of the
plunger branches taught:her both French

,subscribing a
,hariddeVe'autisi in order To erect a monu
ment in 'grateful commemoration of . the
above worthies,:. There is a' tradition, that
when the chapel was built, the mob of
`the town, in their hatred of Dissent, en
deavored to detooliab the building with
cries of " Doive with the Cupola"—the
nickname which they gave to the edifice.
They failed, : however, in their object, and
now the,place is about to be beautified and
iMproved in every way. _ .
In the house, at Frame, in which Mrs.
, Rciwe died, John Foster resided whilst
pastor -of the Baptist church. at Promo.
This being near the chapel which I have
described, he, oft ,repaired to the Vestry,
and there . wrote seine of his celebrated
" EssayS." lie WAS Seen - to pace the aisles
by moonlight, in profound' thought.
Beforeme is a book which vividly recalls
the era 0,1602, ; It is entitled ".A Cora
. plete .dollectien of Farewell Sermons,
preached'by . Mr. - Ninny, Dr. Manton, Mr.
Baxter, 'Dr.'''.,Bates," &c., &c., with their
" several "'prayers:" These "prayers" are
very impressive and affecting to read; but
think of the,eircumstances under which
they Were offered, and the emotion alike of
'ministers and hearers, and then judge of
what they 'Were as /weird! As to the
F,a.rewell Sermons, take the following mem
cirible-passage from Dr. Bates' discourse :
" koow you ,expect I should say some
thing, as . to ;my Nonconformity, and I shall
only say thus much: it is neither fancy,
faction not" humor ' that makes me not to
Comply, but merely for fear of offending
God; and-if,, after the:best means used for
my illumination, as prayer to God, dis
course; or study, I am not able to be satis
fied concerning the lawfulness of what is
.required, if ithe in.funha.ppiness to be in
error, surekfmen will have no reason to be
angry with. me in this world, and I hope
God will pardon me in the next." The
" silver-tongued " Bates' works are before
me, else, with his noble portrait
Here is an extract front Richard Alleine's
'Farewell Sermon,' at Frome : dare not

tell you I approve, I allow, I. heartily con
