NOT Wearied and worn, a soldier was lying, Watohing the sun as it souk in the West; Aud he thought as he lay there gasping and dying, now he tee was slowly sinking to rest. No father was soothing that sufferer's grief, No mother was bringing his pains relief; - No brother wee watching his dying bed, No sister was bathing his aching hes.d. 'No waiting servant of God was there, To breathe at his bidding the Christian's prayer, With cheering promise to comfort his soul, As Death, Sleep's original, over him stole. And it seemed in that hour so hard to die, Bidding Glory's bright, dreams a final good-by, His long-cherished hopes forever to yield, Of laurels well-earned on the battle-field. Be had never been celled to the deadly fray, For wasting disease had worn him away; And as death's solemn hour was now drawing nigh, Rio comrades were gathering to see him die How sadly they watched Me fast-falling breath, As onward he hastened to the gateway of death; Now besting above the conch where he lay, Were catching the words he was trying to say. ,‘ How often I've burned to meet on the field The foes of my country, and cause them to yield; But since Heaven to me this boon has denied, I yearn for the home where my kindred abide. " Oh, could I but clasp to my bosom once more The dear ones I love, death's sting would be o'er; But now, as away from these loved ones I die, You'll give them, dear commies, my parting good-by. "You'll tell my father, now bending with age, Drawing nigh to the close of his long pilgrimage, That his eon's last offering was cheerfully made, When his life on his country's red altar he laid. " You'll tell my moiher, that the child of 'her pride Had her name on his lips in the hour when he died ; Remembered the prayers which she early had taught Bite to lisp, by her knee, as God's favor he sought. "My brothers and esters, you 'll bid them fare well, My lips cannot utter the thoughts I would tell; Be this comforting hope to their mourning hearts given, These unspoken thoughts shall be spoken in heaven. And now, my laved oomro,deo, I bid you adieu; And whether your days shall be many or few, Go manfully on in life's confliote to fight, With the God of all battles to favor the right." Cold meat le bedewing Me marble brow; .1 The lips that were speaking are sealed even now; Tears are falling from eyes not accustomed to weep, For the soldier lies resting in death's dreamless sleep. His martial labor forever la done, Hie country is mourning anothei lost eon; Though he fell not fighting on the field of strife, No loan on her altar he laid down hie life. Earth folds his form to her cold embrace-- Gives one more soldier a resting place ; While a white-winged messenger departs to tell Sad tidings to those whom he loved so well. Garments of mourning shall darken his home. When to that loved circle these tidlige shall come; And a place in their bleeding hearts they shall give To hie memory, echo died that his country might live. Ordainln at a Missionary. On the 16th inst., the Presbytery of Redstone ordained as an Evangelist, Mr. George Paull, who, under appointment of our Board of Foreign Missions, expects shortly to set out for Corisco, West Africa, to labor as a missionary. In the ordination services, Rbv. Joel Stoneroad preached the sermon ; Rev. Wat son Hughes presided, proposed the consti tutional questions, and offered the ordain lag prayer; and Rev. Dr. Samuel Wilson delivered the charge to the Evangelist. The whole exercises were listened to with much apparent and solemn interest by a numerous audience, Mr. Paull is a young brother greatly be loved, of well cultivated mind, and of high promise of usefulness, should it please the Head of the Churoh to spare his life.

JOHN RIDDLE, President. janses Ewing, Jr., Secretary. for the Presb7tertan amulet The Lord in the Mount. GnN. xxtl z 14—In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen. Abraham, as a trial of his faith, was com manded to offer his son for a burnt-offering on Mount Moriah. He makes the neces sary preparations; but when his hand is lifted to strike theblow,.the Angel-Jehovah interposes and forbids the act. A ram is caught in the thioket: and offered in the stead of Isaac • and Abraham called the name of that O° johovah-jirah; as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it . shallbnseen.--Gen. xxii 1-49. The faith of Abraham commends itself to our imitation, and so does his example of un. hadtating obedience. Besides, athe Divine interposition just at the critical moment, the naming of the place from that 'interpo sition, and the proverbial allusion to it in after times, all teach us 'some important lessons. In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen. 1. It. shall be seen what these things mean; the types and their fulfilment shall here be seen. = Johovali-jirela—the Lord will see and provide. As he has provided a substitute for Isaac, so shall he provide a substitute for sinners. And here in the mount of the Lord, where w the temple should be built and the sacrifices of the law offettd, what these things meant should be aeon and undoretood I and what wad there: typified ebould iihie be OCOII mud iiiudereteed? The types, as in the case of Isaac and the ram offered in his stead, should there be exhibited and 'there be fulfilled. Both Isaac and the ram were types of Christ, and many other sacrifices should then 'be offered, all pointing to Christ ; and in due time , that which, was thus typified should be seen. In a future day, light , would , be thrown upon all these, things, and what was now obscure would then be made plain. It is likely it was then plain to Abraham. Ile may have had at that time clearer views of the prom ised Messiah, and of his sacrifice for sin, than ever before ; and it may be to this the . Saviour alludes when he says to the 'Jews, Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day, and he saw it, and was glad.--John viii 56. As Abraham's only son was there bound for sacrifice, so God's only Son should.there be sacrificed; and as the ram was offered in Isaac's stead,'so Jesus Christ should: there be offered in the stead of sin ners. Then, and there in that mount of the Lord, should be seen .and understood what was meant hy the trial of Abraham's faitb-and the substitution of the ram for the offering of his son. When the temple was erected . there, ' every sacrifice that 'smoked upon the altar seemed 'to say, Je hovala-jireh, the Lord will provide, and in the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.; and , when the Son of God was there lifted up on the Dross, perhaps in the very place- where Abraham ereoted.the altar for Isaac, o; near it, and all the types were fulfilled in him; and an infinite atonement was made; then in the mount, °rale Lord it Wes SEEN that God had _provided himself a Lamb, (Gen. xx 11.4 13,) the nvistery ,ofi redemption could then be nnderatood r and.ginnere - Vith ppni -thaee end faith .ixittit , eingi Jehovehlitreh.t PITTSBURGH, WEDNESDAY, SEP TEMBER 30, 1863. WHOLE NO. 575 "Redemption is purchased ; saltation is free." 2. But there is another view: some read it, In• the mount the Lord shalt be seen. A Saviour shall be provided and manifested here. Jehovah-jireh ; the Lord sees our sinful and ruined estate; he will provide a Saviour; and that Saviour shall here be seen. On that very mount where Isaao was in impose sacrificed, and there in that mountain where the ram 'was offered in Isaac's stead; there where the temple should be built and the rites of the Jewish wor ship solemnized; there in that very moan tain where Abraham's faith was tried and God so signally interposed—there should the promised Seed appear, there the Lord Jesus Christ should be seen; and there nu WAS SEEN, fulfilling the types and shadows of the law, and the proraises and prophe cies-of the Old Testament Scripttres. In this view the words, flowing as they do from the sacrifice of the ram which God pro vided in the stead of Isaac, are a prophecy of the coming and appearing in that very place, of him who was typified by Isaac and the ram, and all the sacrifices of the lel. In the mount the Lord shall be seen; and there Jesus appeared and suffered, bearing our sins in his own body on the tree. Through him alone can we find aneeptance with God. 3. Still another view: Abrahatn was in great straits; ,his faith was tried ; his son was about to be offered; but just then, when his hand . was raised to strike the fatal blow, just; then the Lord appeared for his help— appeared just in the time of need, at' the very last extremity; and thus relieved,- he exclaims, Jehovah-jireh—the Lord will see, the Lord will provide l And this passed into a Proverb, Lathe mount the Lord shall be seen. Just as he appeared in the mount for Abra fm's help and deliverance, releasing Isaac a • t providing the ram in his stead; just so -e 11l appear for the help and deliverance of his people when beset with troubles, and mountains of difficulties and discourage ments surround them. Yes, he will appear for our help just when we most need it, for " man's extremety is God's opportunity." Mountains of difficulty may arise before us. Let us ,ascend the . mountain. God is there ) and in the mount he will appear. Let us never despond. The Lord reigns; and just when we despair of help from every other source, he will appear for our help and deliverance. Jehovah-jirelithe Lord will see and provide; and in the mount the Lord shall be seen. Let us see his hand in everything around us; and - let us trust him to provide for all our wants, and to sustain us in all our trials, and help us in all our troubles, and carry us through all our difficulties, and all on duties, and all our discouragements, following the faith of Abraham and imitating his example of unquestioning obedience. The Lord reigns; the Lord will provide; and in the mount of the Lord it shall be seen. In the heavenly mount what is dark here shall all be made plain; and there is fulness of' joy and plea sures forevermore. W. J. XL The True Ohrlstiafl Heroine. A delegate of the Christian Commission laboring at Jefferson Barracks Hospital, near St. Louis, gives the following account of the work which a devoted Christian lady is doing there for the Saviour and her suf. fering countrymeb The most prominent human instrumen tality, under God's grace, in the religious work here, is a . woman. In an unearpeted room in the barracks, furnished with three chairs, -a stand, alad a hospital cot, we found this devoted lady, Here she has labored for six months among the sick and wound ed, received no salary, but her whole heart appearing to, be absorbed in her Christ-like work. Sometimes there have been nearly two thousand patients here, requiring all' manner of religtous counsel. To each she speaks directly, making personal appeals, and urging the impenitent to go, to Christ. She has a peculiarly simple, natural and im pressive manner of talking about religious subjects, that makes one feel that she is most sincere, unconscious of herself, and, nothing more than, your fellow-sinner. We perceived from incidental remarks that she dropped, that it is no ordinary trial for her to pass through the distressing scenes incl.- dent to the hospital. She could not wit ness the death struggle. She had done so at, first and was sick several days after it. Daring the day, the interest of each new case would sustain her, but when, she came back to her leiely room at night, the dis tressed faces of the day would come up be fore her most "painfully. Then, too, she would so often hear - the death-tread beneath her window at different houre of the night, and know that one of "her men,"' as sbe called theta-wits being borne to burial. She would feel wretchedly, and elose, the• shutters tight. Her friends -warned her, that she was expOsed to`dangerous diseases. Her noble reply was ' "lan immortal till " my work is .done. • Still she perseveres in 'hetiabor, and would-00mb it her sorest trial to be removed from it, We shall never forget the hours of delightful com-, munion with this worthy Christian -lady.: The prayers of Christians should ascend, for her that she maybe supported and still further blessed in her most fatiguing but self-imposed labors, • OnelHour Laborers, MATTHEW XX : 1-16 The theme of this parable is discrimi nating grace among believers.

THE BRITISH AssppiamoN has come to a close at New Castle. It was a most bril- liant and successful meeting; tho whole num ber of members in attendance being 3,350, of whom 210 were old' life-members,3s new life members, and 1,004 were ladies. The total receipts were about'£3,6oo, more than, de fraying all expenses.

We may not, individually, be able to utter in rhyming and'poetic num bers, or in words that glow with the fervor of human passion, and that are instinct with the strong energy of the soul's long ingS that which ":we cannot all express or all conceal "—and yet our lives are far more poetic than we"suppose them' to' be, and they, write a grander poem thapppy _of those given to the world by poets:: While poetry has to sorne'extent voiced the soul, and made its deep yearnings means by which it could; tense men to 'earnest and en during toil; ,there are .4epths from .whence the soul has looked for light, and, waited for deliverance, which no human language can portray. Man was made to be in uni son with " eternal Melodies," so his soul will by necessity feel the- power of those harmonies, which, pealing from the heay.: ens and -sounding through the universe make sweeter symphonies than Handel or Beethoven composed. Burns felt= more strongly his desire to be free from poverty and degrading habits, than he ever express ed. Byron had in his heart an intenser Sympathy with evil and dark-brooding doubt and, despair, than he could make Manifred" or ' "the Corsair" express. Wordsworth's soul stood on >a loftier sum mit, encompassed by a serener light, than that to which his,poetry eon* elevate him; his.spirit was enveloped in, a deeper and far more Unfathomable azure through which he could looklupon the wild, glare and flish ings of human passions, than that, with which his purest - utterances could invest him.
