TO NEGLEC7TERS of SALVATION
If you do not mean to perish, and if
indecision will ruin you as surely as if
you did, can you be saved as you are ?
If yon are still the character addressed
in this chapter, this is utterly imposei*
ble. “God is not a man, that he should
lie; neither the son of man, that he
should repent.” Let God be true, if
every man be a liar. But if God is
true, it is not possible for you to be
6aved without repentance; for the
Lord has said, “Except ye repent, ye
shall all likewise perish.” “The wick
ed shall be turned into hell.” It is
not possible for you to be saved with
out conversion ; for He who is the
truth has said, “Ye must be born again.
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except
a man be born again, he cannot see the
kingdom of God.” Numb. 23: 19;
Rom- 3:4; Luke 13 :3; Psalm 9 : 17;
John 3: 5, 7. Therefore to hope to
be saved in an unconverted state, is a
desperate and wicked hope indeed.—
It is hope something so horrid, that re
solution is needed to bring the pen to
write it down. It is, with reverence
be it spoken, to hope that the God or
truth and love will prove a liar, to save
a sinuer in his sins; and to 6ave a sin
ner in his sins, that might be saved
from them, but that will not iurn to
God. 0 what a desperate and wicked
h pe is a hope that includes all this!
Yet this your hope, if yon hope to be
saved unconverted as you are. Surely
Satan has begotten and now nourishes
your guilty hope.
If you cannot he saved as you are,
can you find another way of salvation?
Blessed be God, in the Gospel there is
one equal to all your wants and state ;
but that one yon slight. Yon are not
willing to receive the Saviour in his
own way. Is there then another path
to heaven? Ah, no; “there is none
other name under heaven given among
men, whereby we must be saved.” —
The Scriptures represent the salvation
of every one that slights the only Sa
viour as hopeless. “He that believeth
not, shall be damned.” “Other foun
dation can no man lay than that is laid,
which is Christ Jesus:” there is no es
cape, if we neglect so great salvation.
Acts 4:12; Mark 16: 16 ; 1 Cor. 3:
11.
If you knew this were you last, day,
would you continue to slight this pre~
cions salvation ? If you had reason to
believe, that when at night yon close
your eyes to sleep, you would wake in
eternity, could you then pursue your
guilty course of sin and folly? Yet,
little as you expect it, this may be the
case. Not long ago, the writer knew
a tradesman apparently vigorous, and
it is to be feared a man of the world,
who was on a journey. He spent the
evening at an inn. He was fond of
company ; was cheerful that night, and
sat up later than usual. In the morn
ing he did not ri6e, and someone en
tered his chamber. There he lay a
corpse. His bed was unruffled, and
he appeared to have died without a
struggle; probably while asleep. How
solemn the change! Such has been
the iot, of multitudes, and it may soon
be yours. And it it should, with what
awful surprise will eternity open on
your unpardoned spirit!
A CHILD IN HEAVEN.
A clergyman lost a child. A brother
minister attended the funeral, and at
the close of his remarks, the father of
the deceased child arose, and spoke as
follows to his people who were pre
sent :
“When I have sought to minister to
you consolation in the time of your af
fl ction, weeping with you over your
dying children, you have often said to
me that I knew nothing of the anguish
and could not sympathize with you in
your l .iss. I feel it now, if I never did
before.’ Then he directed them to the
source of his comfort and support, and
Invited al! to the fountain of living
waters. His house stood on a hill
side, overlooking a beautiful river, on
the other side of which were luxurious
fields. Alluding to this, he continu
ed : “Often, as 1 have stood on the
borders of this stream, and looked
over to the fair fields on the other shore
I have felt but little interest in the
people or the place in full view before
me. The river separates me from them,
and my thoughts and affections were
here, But a few months ago, one of
my children moved across to the other
side, and took up his residence there.
Since that time, my heart has been
there also. In the morning, when I
rise and look out toward the East, I
think of my child who is over there;
and again through the day I think of
him, and the other side of the river is
always in my thoughts, with the child
who has gone there to dwell. And
now, since another of my children has
crossed the river of death, and has
gone to dwell on the other side, my
heart is drawn out towards heaven, as
it never was drawn before. I suppos
ed that heaven was dear to me, that
my Father was there, and my friends
were there, and my friends were there,
and that I had a great interest in hea
ven, but I had no child there; now I
have ; and I never think, and I never
shall think of heaven, but with the
memory of that dear child who is to be
among its inhabitants forever.”
THE GLACIERS.
The most extraordinary phenome
non of the Alps is the glaciers. And
though I never had a just conception
of one until I saw it, 1 will try and
give you a faint idea of it in a few
words. Imagiue a mighty river rush
ing down between two mountains into
the valley beneath ; imagine the river
tossed and heaved into waves, then
suddenly and instantaneously frozen
to the bottom, with all its jagged, rib
band, rough, pointed pillows all ice,
all trozeu. Imagine the solid river of
ice broken by chasms, pits, and crevi
ces, and let the whole be of a dazzling
white color, miDgled with a gloomy
blue, and you have a faint idea—some
faint conception ot an Alpine glacier.
Down toward the bottom the glacier is
of a dirty, muddy color, owing to the
soil and attrition of the rocks over
which it passes. As you advance up
ward it becomes clearer. In the low
er parts of the glacies the ice is porous
and spongy, as yon have seen the ice
in East River, in the middle of March.
Little rills of water trickle through it;
and if yon put your ear to the surface,
yon can hear the trill of tiny streams
trickling through all the mass before
you. The glacier is slowly decompo
sing and wasting away. The sun is
conquering it, just as the glorious ark
of gospel truth is slowly melting away
the bigotry and selfishness of earth.—
Let it shine; let it blaze, until, in its
unhindered effulgence every dark
mountain of ignorance and iniquity
shall float down in the presence of the
King of kings.
The number of glaciers in Switzer
land has been put down at about six
hundred, and the extent of surface oc
cupied by them at about one thousand
square miles. A gentleman pointed
out a spot to me, where, for one hun
dred and twenty square miles, the
earth is covered with solid ice,in depth,
in some places, of eight hundred feet.
These glaciers vary in extent from a
little spot of ice, like a button, on the
mountain’s shoulder, to a large sea.
I once saw the base of a glacier with
these little streams trickling out with
in hearing of the vine dressers. The
greatest thickness of one of these ice
fields has been commonly estimated at
eight hundred feet. Prof. Forbes esti
mated the greatest thickness of the
Mer de Grace at three hundred aud
fifty feet. The glacier, like a lean
dyspeptic, would waste away were it
not tor snow falling every month of the
year upon the frozen tops; tor it is a
fact that upon the summit of the Alps
it has never rained 6ince the Deluge.
I have seen a furious snow storm there
in the month of August, when the heat
in the valley was overpowering— Rev.

CAN’T HELP DOING WRONG.
‘Mother,l shoulun’t think God would
puuish children for doing wrong when
they can’t help it,’ said James, who
sat looking out of the window a long
time thinking.
‘Can’t help it?’ said his mother.
‘No,’ said James, ‘I don’t think they T
can.’
‘lsn’t it because they don’t use God’s
helps to do right?” asked his mother.
‘God’s helps ?’ said James. ‘What ?’
‘He has given them a guide book, in
the first place. It clearly tells the right
way, and the wrong way, and where
they lead to—one to heaven, and the
other to hell. If anybody consults that
Book, they can’t mistake about the
way,’ said the mother.
‘ls it the Bible you mean ?’ asked
James.
‘Yes,’ she answered, ‘and lest we
should get in the dark, or puzzled
about the meaning of our guide book,
God has given another help, that is,
his Holy Spirit, ‘who,’ lie says, ‘will
open the eyes of the blind,’ and ‘will
guide you into all truth,’ and you need
make no mistake, aud have no excuse
doing wrong.’
‘I don’t know what that means,’said
James, quickly. (
‘When we see a person weakly, sick
ly, aud not able to do what be wants
to do, we say ‘he is infirrr,’ he needs
help. God sees how we stumble and
go hack, and miss the right wav ; how
weak we are; he, therefore, offers his
Holy Spirit to make us strong.’
‘That is wonderful,’ said James,‘how
God knows every thing!’
‘Besides all this ’ said his mother,
‘He has put a little voice inside you,
which, when you are inclined to go
wrong, says, ‘No, no, no!’ and w T hen
you do right, 6ays ‘Yes, yes, my dear
child,’ very sweetly, indeed.”
‘Yes, toy teacher told me about the
conscience.’
‘Do you think, James,’ asked his
mother seriously, ‘that God lias done
his part to make little boys, and girls,
too, do right? Not only to know the
right, but to do right, also?’
‘Mother,’ answered James, after a
few moments’ thinking. “I think God
has. It isn’t God’s fault, I’m sure.—
Then why don’t they ?’
‘Because they don’t mind God’s
helps,’said his mother. ‘lf they would
study their guide book, a-k the Holy
Spirit to enlighten and help them, and
hearken to that kind little voice inside
and try to do right, 1 am sure no child
would go astray.” The little boy was
in thought lor some time ; at length he
said :
‘Mother, we have got no excuse for
being wicked. Good is good—very
good.
And, dear children, this is a true and
happy solution of the matter.
BREAKFAST TABLE TALK.
‘Boys,’ said the uncle, when all were
seated at the table, ‘what were you dis
puting about 60 early this morning?—
Perhaps I can help one or both of
you.’
‘Why,’ said John, about twelve
years of age, ‘We were wondering why
God is so often called Provideuce ?
Why should he have such a name?’ I
said it because He provides things,
and James says that can’t be the reas
on, because He also guards us, and yet
we don’t call Kim Guardence !’
‘You have both studied Latin V
4 A little, uncle.’
‘What does provideo mean V
‘lt means to see before, does it not ?’
‘Yes. Now tell me how long it ha 6
taken to get this breakfast ready ?’
‘How long ? Why, sir, it may be an
hour.’
‘Why, it has taken thousands of
years to get this breakfast ready for
your eatinor P
‘Oh uncle! How can that be V
‘Let us see. What fish is that be
fore you ?’
‘Salmon, sir.’
‘Very well. He probably was hatch
ed in some river in Greenland, sever
al years ago, and has been kept to
grow till he was a large fish. But it
took years for the trees to grow out of
which the vessel was built that went
to Green and after him. That tea,
which your aunt is pouring out, most
likely, grew at the foot of the hills in
China, hundreds of miles from the ship
that brought it. That coffee, many
years ago, (for I have had it in my
keeping ten years,) grew in Java; a
long while ago that mutton chop grew
in Canada, and the sheep were driven
to us here. That salt was made from
the waters of the ocean at one of the
West India Islands. The wheat, that
our bread was made of, grew in Mis
souri. The butter was made in Ver
mont. That sugar, in your coffee, was
made in the Island of Cuba. That
pepper, which I sprinkle on my meat,
grew in Ceylon. These cups were
made in France. That tin coffee pot
had to be dug out of the mines in Eng
land. That cream is the grass and hay
of our own fields turned into milk.—
Now, don’t you see, my boys, how
much time, and care, and. labor, and
seeing before, ( providere ) it has cost,
to get one comfortable breakfast ready
for my hungry nephews ! God does all
this; He foresees, provides it all,brings
all these things together, at the right
time and the right place, and thus he
is called Providence or the Foreseer.’
‘But uncle, yon said that it had ta
ken thousands of years to get this
breakfast ready. We can’t see that?’
•What was ou breakfast cooked
with ?’
‘Cooked with ! Why, with the fire,
sir!’
‘Yes, and what was the fire made
of?’
‘Made of coal.’
‘To be sure. And that coal was made
under the ground thousands of years
provided for this very purpose. And
thus God does before we are born ;
foresees what we shall need, and gets
it all ready. This is providing —fore-
seeing. And thus He is called Provi
denceorthe Foreseer. Do you now
now understand it ?’
‘Thankyou, nncle,it’s all plain now ?’
A REVIVAL—OUR COUNTRY.
The country is suffering more for the want
of a genuine revival of pure religion than from
any other cause. This may be questioned by
those who can see the abolition hordes in our
border, hut not the ingratitude to their heaven
ly Father, which has marked their past lives.
And this revival is needed as much in the
church as in the world j for all must admit the
church is below the standard of gospel holi
ness. and an impure Christianity can never
meet the demands of perishing souls. A revi
val is greatly needed; and those of us who have
tested that religion is as free as the air we
breathe and the water we drink, and which is
offered to the vilest of sinners without money
and without price, simj Iy on the condition of
faith, know that all that is necessary to have
a revival is to pray, believingly, for it. Grace
is not only free, but it is free at all times. God
is a prayer hearing God ; has never turned a
deaf ear to the cry of one of his children.—
There is a promise that if we call upon him in
the day of trouble he will hear us, and certain
ly a day of trouble is at hand. Let us, then,
call upon him—those of us who love our coun
try and love our souls. But how shall we
call ? There is only one way, and that is, first,
by acknowledging our sins, with deep contri
tion, and turning away from them ; secondly,
by asking his forgiveness, through the merits
of Christ, for all our offences. It would be
very wicked and presumptuous for us to pray
the Lord to spare our nation the dreadful ca
lamities which are threatening us while we re
main in sin and rebellion against his most
righteous government. “If I regard iniquity
in my heart,” says the Psalmist, “ the Lord
will not hear me but “ a broken and a con
trite heart I will not despise.’ He will hear
the prayer of the penitent; and who of us in
remembrance of our ingratitude - 'and slighted
privileges, should not follow the example of
the Ninevites, and repent in sackcloth and
ashes.
Political integrity and patriotism will not
atone for sin; nor will the righteousness of
our cause and the purity of our hards in this
conflict, prevent the judgments of God being
poured out upon us on account of our moral
corruptions. The Lord will protect his own
people—this cannot be questioned; but he
promises nothing to the wicked. Even a fiery
furnace and den of lions have proved harmless
to them; they have nothing to fear on their
own account. But hew few in numbers are
they ? Only those “ who do the will of our
Father in heaven.’ Our bleeding country
needs our prayers; our friends on the battle
field exposed to the shafts of death, need them;
but there are multitudes of us whose prayers
would be unavailing, because “God heareth
not sinners.” Let us have a revival of pure
and undefiled religion— a religion which puri
fies the heart and tills the soul with the Divine
presence. No one can pray for his country or
himself, effectually, until he first becomes re
conciled to the God to whom he prays. And
nothing is more true than that this war can be
brought to a speedy close, and that honorably,
by a revival of pure religion, and I am disposed
to believe it is the only thing that will. Our
people have been so wicked —haveslighted the
invitations for mercy so long, it is not un
reasonable to suppose that the day of reckon
ing has come, it will come some time, and
why not now ?
The Almighty could not destroy Sodom un
til he got Lot out oi it, and his promises to his
children are more full now than under the for
mer dispensation: b cause tne work of the
great salvation has been perfected. Rehpon
is designed to supply every want, botn m the
world and the world to come. It makes its re
cipient a child of God, and God never has yet
permitted anything to befall one of his chil
dren, unless it was for their good, and we are
assured he never will. If we want our coun
try saved, our prayer should be, “0 Lord, re
rive thy work in the midst of the years, in the
midst of the years make known ; in wrath
rem< mber mercy.” That we may have a revi
val that shali sweep over all these lands, and
continue to spread and its rings to widen, until
the earth itself shall be filled with the knowl
edge of the glory of ihe Lord as the waters
cover the sea; need no further proof than the
prophesy of Joel, quoted by Peter on the day
ol Pentecost, which is, “And it shall come to
pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out
of my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and
your daughters shall prophesy, and your young
men shali see visions, and your old men shall
dream dreams ; and on my servants and on my
handmaidens I will pour out m these days of
my spirit; and they shall prophesy. And it
shall come to pass that whosoever shall call
upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
These are the days, and we a re the people to
whom this promise of the Father is made.

The War Journals of the North. —The
effect of the war is beginning to sadly tell up
on the newspapers of the North. It will like
ly be the death of many of them. Some of
the New York dailies have been amalgamating,
and one consolidated organ hopes to live on the
rations on which two would have starved to
death. Others, which retain their identity,
have cut down their dimensions. The Herald ,
which so often boasls of its great wealth, has
commenced to print its advertisements in very
large type to fill up and save expense. A
pretty good expedient to hide its failing for
tunes.

Address to the Army from dens. Beaure
gard and Johnston.
The following eloquent address of our Gen
erals to the army under their command will
excite the patriotic emotions of every Southern
reader:
Headquarters Army of the Potomac, \
Manassas, July 25, 1861. $
Soldierß of the Confederate States:
One week ago a countless host of men organ
ized into an army, with all the appointments
which modorn art and practiced skill could de
vise, invaded the soil of Virginia. Their people
sounded their approach with triumphant dis
plays of the anticipated victory.
Their Generals came in almost royal state; the
great Ministers, Senators, and women came to
witness the immolation of our army, and the
sugjugation of our people, and to celebrate the
result with wild revelry.
It is with the profoundest emotions of grati
tude to an over-ruling God, whose hand is
manifest in protecting our homes and our lib
erties, that we, your Generals commanding,
are enabled, in the name of our whole country,
to thank you for that patriotic courage, that
heroic gallantry, that devoted daring exhibited
by you in the actions of the 18th and 21st, by
which the hosts of the enemy were scattered,
and a signal and glorious victoiy obtained.
The two affairs of the 18th and 21st were
but the sustained and continued effort of your
patriotism against the constantly recurring
columns of an enemy, fully treble your num
ber ; and their efforts were crowned on the
evening of the 21st with a victory so complete
that the invaders are driven disgracefully from
the field, and made to fly in disorderly ’•out
back to their entrenchments, a distance of over
thirty miles.
They left upon the field nearly every piece
of their artillery, baggage, stores, &c., and
almost every one of the wounded and dead,
amounting together with the prisoners, to many
thousands. Andithus the Northern hosts were
driven from Virginia.
Soldiers ! we congratulate you on an event
which ensures the liberty of our country. We
congratulate every man of you, whose glorious
privilege it was to participate in this triumph
of courage and of truth —to fight in the battle
of Manassis. You have created an epoch in
the history of Liberty, and unborn nations will
rise up and call you “ blessed.”
Continue this noble devotion, looking always
to the protection of a just God, and before
time grows much older, we will be hailed as
the deliverers of a nation of ten millions of
people.
Comrades! our brothers who have fallen
have earned undying renown upon earth, and
their blood shed in our holy cause is a precious
and acceptable sacrifice to the Father of Truth
and of Right,
Their graves are beside the tomb of Washs
ington; their spirits have joined with his in
eternal communion.
We will hold fast to the soil in which the
dust of Washington is thus mingled with the
dust of our brothers. We will transmit this
land free to oirr children, or we will fall into
the fresh etir brothers-in arms. We
drop one tear on their laurels, and move for
ward to avenge them.
Soldiers! we congratulate you on a glorious,
triumphant, and complete victory,and we thank
jou for doing your whole duty in the service
of your country.

THE BOOTY OF THE FIELD.
It is now ascertained that stores and muni
tions to the value of fully one million of dollars
were captured by our troops from the enemy
in the recent battle. Sixty-seven pieces of ar
tillery were taken, among them one long rifled
32-pounder, which, by the way, has already
been moved in a direction where it will render
good service. The rest of the pieces are light
field artillery, 6 and 12-pounders, more than
half rifled and superbly sighted, among them
several Parrot guns, and several made on
James’ celebrated patent Tfie fortune of war
put into our hands, along with these, cartridges
and ammunition sufficient to serve them lor a
day’s steady firing.
It is impossible to state anything, with accu
racy as to the (Vi-ffitity qf nn/fleets atfl small
arms of all sortljeit on the fitk'd. The number’
could not have been less, however, than fifteen
to twenty thousand, half of which the ordnance
officers, charged with thejr collection, think have
disappeared into the possession of unauthoriz
ed individuals. Some of these latter may,
through the vigorous measures taken by the
Chief of the Bureau, Major Georgas, be yet re
covered, he having ordered a thorough search
of the surrounding country, and taken other
steps to seduce them into possession of the
Government. The most of the arms found are
very fine, but much mildewed and rusted by ex
posure. They will nearly all have to be Drought
here thoroughly cleaned before being fit
for use.
From fifteen to twenty thousand blankets
were undoubtedly left on the field and strewn
by the wayside. This is probably too moder
ate an estimate. About one half of these will
come into possession of the Government. Hav
ersacks, cartridge boxes, knapsacks, canteens
and overcoats in immense quantities were also
thrown off by the flying enemy, and now lay
in immense piles before the Quartermaster’s of
fice at Manassas.
About one hundred and fifty wagons laden
with stores and ammunition, together with
twenty patent- ambulances, the like of which,
for comfort and convenience, are not in the Con
federate States also fro u no inconsiderable
portion of the spolia opima of the recent victo
ry-
Among the munitions captured are probably
quite two millions of cartridges, manufactured
with great pains and cost, and including a full
assortment of all calibres and kinds.
The Commissariat stores are represented to
display great thought and regard for the wel
fare of the troops, and inculcate several valua
ble lessons in both the quantity of food and the
arrangements for its preparation, which, it is
hoped, wi 1 not be lost on our own Commissa
ries. Each of the Federal soldiers was suppli
ed, in his haversack, with three days’ provisions.
Among other things, he was furnished with his
coffee in a neat paper, ground and mixed with
sugar, so as to be ready lor use without further
trouble than the cooking. In a word, all the
appointments of the “Grand Army,” in the vr
rious branches of staff arrangement, were such
as probably never before were enjoyed by any
expedition in the world.
A Female Spy. —The correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, writing from Western
Virginia, says a female spy has been discover
ed in the First Kentucky Regiment. She is
from Georgia, and enlisted at Cincinnati. She
was detected by writing information in regard
to the movements of our troops to the enemy.
She is a member of the Knights of the Golden
Circle, says she knows the punishment of a spy
is death, and is ready for tier fate. She is to
be sent to Columbus.
