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 Written for the hide*'. 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,.

We regar ded it not only as one of the ablest, but one of the most conservative, and except so. far ‘as the doctrine of baptism is concerned, one ofthe most evangelical at the North.” Does tlm Presbyterian hold that Baptists are not “evangelical” “so far as the doctrine” of bap tism is concerned ?” And if so-in ikat sense does it use tho word ?-—AV.

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 emn treaty, parting England between them: 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.

Mill . The Child’s Index, ■42flblt§hcd and edited by S. Boykin, Maeor, .{J„ is a Sunday School paper, admirably adapted to interest, instruct and improve chil dren. Wherever it has gone; it has become a . favorite, and children,, once accustomed to it, cannot do without it. It contains instructive stories, pleasing anecdotes, illustrations of history and natural history, and, by its scrip tural enigmas, sets the .young to “searching die Scriptures.” Its influence in home-life is good, and it inculcates all the lessons contained in the Ten Commandments. It is embellished with beautiful cuts, and G sustained by arr excellent corps of writers'. The general verdict concerning it is, that it is qbe best child's paper the South has seen. •-Xsftsie.—§2.oo for each single copy.
