A Contrast-
The following extracts are from a■ P°“ ®“-
U 9, who flourished about 684 B. t,
the brave.
The man whom blood and danger fail to daunt,
Fearless who fights, and even m the front, _
Who bids his comrades barter useless b
For a proud triumph, or a prouder death,
He is my theme. He ohly who can brave
- With ringleforoe the battle's rolling wave.
Can turn his enemies to flight, and fall
Beloved, lamented, deified by all.
His household gods, bis own parental land
High in renown, by him exalted stand;
Alike the heirs and founders of his name
Share his deserts and borrow from his fame. -
He, pierced in front with many a gaping
wound, I
Lies, great and glorious, on the bloody ground,
From every eye he draws one general tear,
And a whole nation follows to his bier ;
Illustrious youths sigh o’er his early doom,
And late posterity rovers his tomb.
THE COWARD. _
But he who flies dishonored from his home,
And foully driven iu beggary to roam,
His wife and children shrieking im his ears,
His sire with shame abashed, his mother
’ drowed in tears,
What indignation at his cowardice
Shall flash upon him from ntf hunejce;™ ■
How shall he stain, forever stain his blood,
Rich tho’ it flow, descended from the good I
llow shall he brand with infamy his brow I
(Fair tho'it was,'tis fair no longer now:)
An outcast wanderer through a scoffing world
Till to an ignominious grave he’s hurled;
Known to all future ages by hi shame,
. A blot eternal on the rolls of fame 1

Something to Read-
BY MRS. M. A. M'CRIMMON.
“Do send me something to read,” Kell
Mortimer, my pretty friend, said to me one
morning as I sat in her neat little parlor ; “I
nevdl*was so hungry for a good book in my
life.”
“What will you have—history, biogra
phy, poetry or narrative?”
“Anything, so it is something nice ; what
ever you select will suit me, I know.”
“Well, 1 have the very ’ thing for you,
then—a book compiled from different au
thors—full of thrilling incidents, history,
poetry and eloquence.” --
“What is it—Field’s Scrap Book? I
have that already.”
“'No, it is not that.”
“Irving’s Sketch Book, then, or Maeau
ly’s Miscellanies ?”
“No, something bettor than either of
them;”
“ Well, it must be a wonderful book to
xcel Washington Irving. - 1 thought yon
regarded him as the prince of authors.”
“So TANARUS” do, at least I admire hisustyle v6ry
much, but still Tie never wrote auy tiling
equal ta this hook, the one I am tO J
send you.”.
“Is there any love stories in it? 3
“Yes, one of the sweetest and most beau
tiful in the world. You will hardly he a
ble to read it without crying.”
“0 delightful I A real good love story is
as delicious as a poor one is contemptible.
lam so much obliged to vou. Is it anew
book?”
“No, I have had it some time, hut I like
it better than when I first got it. The more
I read it, the more fascinating it becomes.’’
• “Why have’nt you told me about it be
fore?”
“I guess you have heard me speak of it,
though you may not remember it just now.”
Oh, no, I never did ; I would not have
lorgotteu it, when I am always so eager for
something to read.”
“I am surprised that you have not be
come acquainted with its beauties and ex
cellencies before now, since you are so fond
of reading.”
“How could I, when I have never seen it ?
Just send me a copy, and I will dive into its
beauties and excellencies forthwith.”
“I would with pleasure, but 1 think I see
a copy lying beside you, (on the table.”)
“Oh no, this is only a Bible.”
“ Only (t Bible ! Why that is the very
book I am speaking about.”
“And so you have been quizzing me alter
all, and have no nice book to send me ?”
“No, I was not quizzing you. I am wil
ling to loan you any book I have, but know
ing you to be a lady of taste, I of course,
want- to send you the best one I have.”
“Much obliged, I have a Bible, and read
it too, more from a sense of duty, however,
than from any great interest I find in it.-
Its eloquence and poetry, and all that never
happened to strike me, though I know’ it is
God’s word and ought to read it more than
I do.”
“The want of interest is in your own mind,
not in the contents of the book. You go at
it “like school boys to their books,” more
from a sense of duty than an hope of being
pleased and entertained. The Bible, to be
appreeiated, must be read earnestly, and
studied assiduously.
“I try to love to read the Bible, ami to
be interested in it, and if I like some other
books better I can’t help it. We can con
trol our actions notour feelings.”
” Yes, there are means which we can em
ploy which will eontrol our feelings. There
are too-spirits contending ior the nagstery in
our hearts, the one of light, and the other
of darkness. When the spirit of light wohld
show us heavenly beauties through the* tel
escope cf God’s word, the spirit of, dark
ness thrust earthly visions before oflr men
tal eyes to obscure the heavenly glories. We
have it in our power, through God’s mercy,
to cherish the light and resist the thoughts
and images, however alluring, presented by
the angel of darkness; and if we do not. we
have only to blame ourselves.
a beloved parent were to leave
us on his death bad, a long and ’affection
ate letter; could we pretend to love that
parent, were we to put off reading that letter,
from day to day, in order to peruse some
trashy novel or silly book of ribaldry ? We
certainly could not. Our conduct would in
dicate an entire want of affection for him,
and an utter disregard for his will, no mat
ter what we might say to the contrary.
“The inference follows then, that if we do
not love God’s word we do not love Him,
we are none of His, and may only expect
His wrath at the last day. The only course
left us in that case is to cry mightily to
Him for help, uutil our hearts are touched
by the finger of His love, and theq we will
love His word.”
“I believe you are right. I thank you
I have often mourned in secret over my in
difference to the Bible, but never had the
courage to tell it before.”
“We none of us love it as wo ought,
which evidently comes from the coldness of
our lovo to God. The Biblo ‘must not, be
merely read, but studied. Take up some
subject—baptism for.instance—and try to
find everything iu the Bible that has a bear
ing on that subject, if you don’t begin
to read with more interest, I will make you
a present of the nice little book I am going
to send you as soon as I get home.” .W
“Thank you, 1 will,” and I bade her good
bye with tears in her eyes.”
The Seeker Encouraged.
Let the heart of them rejoice that seek
the Lord: 1 Cron. xvi. 10. —And yet many
believe, or pretend to believe, that religr
ioc is a joyless thing !
The heart has very little, if any, share in
other enjoyments. Those delights only grat
ify the appetites, and strike the senses, and
charm the imagination. But where is the
heart ? Even in laughtef the heart is sorrow
ful ; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
| In religion, the heart finds relief, repose,
satisfaction, joy. -
“Yes, the heart of those who are fully as
sured of their condition ; who have already
attained, or have far advanced in the divine
life.” Nay—-says the prophet, Let the heart
of them rejou?* tha. Lnrl——And
thcv Ms. three reasons to .authorise it.
First. Because it is an evidence of grace.’
They may draw a conclusion against them
selves, and refuse to be comforted; but no
man can seek to know and enjoy, and'serve
and resemble God from mere nature. Ac
tions may not indicate the state of the mind;
but desires spring from it. We maybe forced
to do; but we canuot be compelled to prefer,
and to choose.
Secondly. Because their success is sui e.
This is the case iu no other pursuit.. Iu
the fields of worldly labor, we may spend our
strength for nought, and in vain, A rival
may bear off from us a prize ,which we have
long been chasing, and at the very moment
we are seizing it. The cup of enjoyment,
filled with eager hope, is often dashed to
the ground from the very lip that touches it.
But their heart shall live that seek God.—
He that goeth forth and weepetb, bearing
precious seed, shall doubtless return again
with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with
him. Blessed are they that do hunger and
thirst after righteousness; for they shall be
filled. Is there unfaithfulness with . God ?
Did ho ever say so the seed of'Jacob seek ye
me in vain ?
Thirdly. Because, when they //ore found,
their aim and their wish ih seeking are fully
answered. All they can desire is treasured
up in him; and they that seek the Lord shall
not want any good thing. As to success in
other cases, tho wise man tells us, all is van
ity and vexation of-spirit: vexation if we
lose; andvamty, if we g tin. To one of these
alternatives we are inevitably subjected.—
We must be disappointed either in acquir
ing them—-and this is often the case;’or in
posessiug them—and this is always the case.
“In vain we seek a heaven below the sky;
The world has false, Lutflattering charms:
Its distant joys show big in our esteem,
But lessen still as they draw near, the eye :
In-our embrace the visions die ;
And when we grasp the airy forms,
We lose the pleasing dream.”
But while everything falls short of hope,
it is not possible to form an expectation ad
equate to the riches of the glory of the in
heritance in the saints. What is it to have
God himself for our portion and exceeding
joy! To be blessed with all spiritual bless
ings in heavenly places in Christ. To real
ize a happiness, that death perfects ! As it
is writen, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,.
nt>r have entered into the heart of mau, the
things which God hath prepared for those
that love him.
: • : — : r •, •* ..
While thus the heart of them tnt seik
him should rejoice, the heart of othe/s slioulo
be induced to seek him. ‘At pres nthe b
not far from any of you. He is <ven invi
ting you to seek him. Yet a little \ bile, and
it will be. too late. Therefore, seel ye him
wnile he may be found.; and call ye upon
him while he is near. v; * . ;
The Lost Soul.
To fall out of. the hands of jhe living
God is a horror beyond our expression, bey
ond oar imagination. That God’ should let
my soul fall out of his hand into a bottom
less pit, and roll an unremovable stfroeupon
it, and leave it to that which it finjb there,
(and it shall find that there which it never
imagined till it came thither,) and never,
think more of that soul ft never have more to
do with it; that of thav providence of God
that studies the life of every weed, and
worm, and ant, and spider, and toad, and
viper, there should never, never; any beam
flow out upon me; that that God who looked
ppoq me when I was nothing,aid called me
when I was not as though I hall been out ol
the womb and depth-of darkne: f, will not
look upon me now, when, though a misera
ble, and a banished, and a damnied creature,
f * bi* still, and contribute
something to his glory, even in my . damna
tion ; that that God who hath ofte* looked*
upon mein my foul lest uucleanntss,. and
when 1 had shutout the eye of thi day——
the sun, and the eye of the night-rthn ta :
per, and the eyes of the world, with curtains,
and windows, and doors, and yet s<e me in
mercy, by making me see that he /saw me.
and sometimes brought mo to present re
morse, and (for that time) to a fbrijtjarmg of
that sin—-should so turn hipiself from me
to his-glorious saints and angels, ai that no
saint nor angel, nor Christ Jesus himself,
should ever pray him to look towards me,
never, remember him that such sjul there
is; that that God who hath so oftn said to
my soul, “Why wilt thou die?” aid so of
ten sworn to my soul, “As the Lord liveth,
I would not have thee die, but litre,will
neither let me die nor let me live, But die an
everlasting life,and live an everlasting death;
that that God who, when he conic not get
into me by standing and knocking, by his
ordinary means of entering, by hislword, his
mercies, hath appointed his judgments, aucl
hath shaken this house, this body, with
agues and palsies, and set this houpe'on fire
with fevers and calentures, and frightened
the master of the house, my soul, with hor
rors and heavy apprehensions, and st) made
an entrance into nje; that this God should
frustrate all his own purposes and practices
upon nie, and leave me, and cast, me away,
as though I had cost him nothing; that this
God at last should let this soul go away, as
UMDoke, as. as a bnl^pTa?;d them
thaftilG huul cannot Tie & smoke oFvapor,’
nor a bubble, but must lie in darkness a3
long as tho Lord of light is light itself, and
never a spark of that light reach to my soul;
what Tophot is,not paradise., what brimstone
is not amber, what gnashing is not comfort,
what gnawing , of the worm is not a tickling,
what torment is not a marriage bed, to this
damnation, to be secluded eternally, eternal
ly from the sight of God ? Especially’ to us;
for as the perpetual-loss of that is most heavy
with which we have been acquainted, and
to which we have been most accustomed, so
shall this damnation, which .consists in the
loss of the sight and presench of God, he
heavier to us than others, because God hath
so graciously, and so evidently, and so di
versely appeared to us, in the pillar of fire, in
the light of prosperity, and in* tho pillar of
zdoud, in hiding himself for a vihile from us.
We tbat^ave -seen him in all the parts of
Christ’s commission, in his word, jn his sac
raments, and in good example, and not be
lieved, shall be further removed from his
sight in the next wprld, than they to whom
he never appeared in this.— Dr. Donne,.

■’ Our Foreign Missions.
We take from the Religious Herald the
following extract from a letter just received
from Bro. Crawford. He writes under date
of Dec. 24, 1863 :
“Some months have passed since l last
wrote to‘you. You have been informed of
my removal from Shanghai to this place,
and the reason therefor. I scarcely know
whether to consider it temporary or perma
nent. - My health, as well as that of my
wife, has so much improved that I may think
it best to return to Shanghai next tall. 1
left there with great reluctance. It is ne
cessary now to remain here, and look after
the interests of brother Hartwell’s church,
while he goes to Shanghai to act as interpre
ter for the municipal council during broth
er Yates’ absence in Europe He will be
gone about twelve mouths, and bro. Hart
well is to act as his substitute, and look af
ter the Shanghai church.”
He adds that the mission work goes on in
all it* departments, excepting in the publi
cation of the books and tracts. We are glad
also to-know that our brethren in the field
are encouraged in the purpose to persevere,
notwithstanding the difficulties in the way.
Bro, X’rawford says, their trials are as noth
ing, compared with those endured by the
brethren ofthe Southern Confederacy.’ IJe
further states : “A 11 of us are well, and mis
sion work encouraging—two baptisms re
cently at Shanghai, and t\yo here ”
Justification through Christ-
Edmond Ironside and Canute the Dane, after
long and weary conflicts, entered into a sol

This compact was “confirmed by oath and
i sacrament—each puttiugon the other’s-appar
el and arms, as if they had changed persons,
so'tbatCanute became. Edmond, and Edmond
Canute”.
This incident may bo employed to ilius
'trate the.Sciiptu'al doctrine of justification,
represented by Luther as “the heel of the
Seed of the Woman which shall-bruise the
head of the serpent.”. Christ takes oqr sins
upon Him, and God smites Him with the no -
demnabion we deserve; We take the righ'-
teousness of Christ upogus, and God receives
us with the favor dne to Him. There is art
