“Will not hurt me.”
“I am aware/ 7 said a Christian soldier,
**that I have many hardships, trials and
dangers to meet ; but they will not hurt me
if I will only do my duty. All these priva
tions and perils tend to humble me, and if
T can by their means more successfully mor
tify the deeds of the body—if, by their
means, I can uproot pride, vanity, covet
ousness, and all kindred passions—l shall
have occasion to tha'nk God that duty called
me tc be a soldier.”
How true is this sentiment! If we will
but improve those present troubles so as to
benefit our hearts, we will have occasion to
thank God for his chastisements. But if
we allow our hearts to grow hard—if we al
low our affections and finer feelings to be
come blunted under our present adversities,
then is our loss lamentable ! As physical
hardships and the heavy hand of adversity
are pressing us sere, let us be sure that we
do not bring upen ourselves a worse calam
ity—the loss of moral purity and religious
refinement. “ Walk in the spirit,” and
and then will your Christian graces grow
stronger and brighter in consequence of your
calamities. Then you can say with the
Psalmist, “It was good for me that I have
been afflicted. 77 — Rich. Ch. Advocate.

“This is a time of Prayer.”
to ———
So said a cotemporary journal in January,
1861. But the prayers of that day did not
avert the calamities. There is a most ur
gent necessity for fervent prayer in the state
of the church and country. “ There never
was such a time of prayer as this. I be
lieve that since the New Testament Church
was organized there never has been so much
prayer as is offered now. 77
The Christian dispensation commenced
in prayer. The most wonderful outpouring
.of God’s Spirit was preceded and ushered
in by that little prayer meeting of tire early
Christians. Aud prayer is yet to accom
plish mighty things for Zion. God has
promised the world to his Son. Prayer is
to he made continually for this. For this
end we must pray for souls, that thus he
may receive the reward of his sufferings.—

A Wife.
What a sacred name, what a responsible
office! she must be the unspotted sanctuary
to which wearied men flee from the crimes
of the world, and feel that no sin dare en
ter there. A wife ! she must be as pure as
spirits around the everlasting throne, that
man may kneel to her in adoration without
abasement. A wife ! she must be the guar
dian angel of his footsteps on earth, and
guide them to heaven; so firm in virtue
that should he for a moment waver, she can
yield him support and place him upon its
firm foundation ; so happy in conscious in
nocence that, when from the perplexities of
the whole world, he turns to his home, he
may never find a frown where he sought a
smile. Such, my son, thou seekest in a
wife; and reflect well ere thou choosest.—
Open not thy bosom to the trifler ; repose
not the head on the breast which nurseth
envy, and folly, and vanity. Hope not for
obedience where the passions are untamed,
and expect not honor from her that honor
eth not the God that made her.
An old Sailor’s Experience.
An old sailor shortly after his conversion,
gave the following statement of his expe
rience :
u I am just eight months old to-night in
my Christian life. I was born again on the
sea. And what reason have Ito thank God
for what he is doing among the men of the
ocean ! How happy have 1 been these eight
months of my Christian life ! Before I was
a slave —slave to Satan—slave to the land
sharks —slave to my vices. O ! what a
miserable drudge I was, bowing down my
hack in the cruel aud base service of my
master. You know what I was—how mis
erable—on ship or shore, always miserable
in my sinful ways and sinful pursuits.
“But when the Spirit overtook me, con
vinced me of my guilt and danger, and pre
pared my heart to attend to the call of the
Gospel, leading me to Christ, and when, as
a poor despairing sinner, I came to him
begging for mercy, and he showed me mer
cy, I cannot tell you what a freedom that
was into which I was introduced. 77 .
Principle.
Never confide in the principle of a timid
man. He who has no courage cannot be
said to have principle, he may disposed to
virtue, and may prefer good to evil, but he
is in the sport of chance, and the slave of
circumstances. What avails the best incli
nations, if resolution be wanting to put
them in practice ? A feeble and irresolute
man who means well, is more dangerous
than an audacious and confirmed villain.—
You know the latter, and are on your guard
against him ; you rely upon the good in
tentions of the former, and discover too
late, like the son of Israel, he is unstable as
water, and shall not excel. A timid man
can never become great; if he possesses
talent, he cannot apply it; he is trampled
upon by the envious and awed by the swag
gering: he is thrust from the direct path
which alone leads to honor and fame, by
every aspirant who possesses more spirit
than himself.
Harmony op Army Chaplains.—A
chaplain writes from within the lines at
Atlanta to the Southern Christian Advo
cate : “ I returned to the fort in Sear’s brig
ade just as Bro. Lattimore was receiving
some candidates for baptism, and he gave
all Christians—Presbyterians, Methodists,
Baptists and Episcopalians l —an invitation
to extend to them the hand of Christian
fellowship. With the Episcopal chaplain,
1 advanced and gave those Baptist brethren
a cordial grasp of the hand. It is comfort
ing to the true Christian heart to see the
harmony and good will existing between’
the chaplains of different denominations in
the army.”

A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.
(A Story for Young Ladies .)
BY MRS. MARY A. MCCRIHHON.
The following incidents from the life of
one whom the writer knew and loved in
early life, are instructive, and, as such,
should not be withheld from the public.—
Next to our own experience, we are best
instructed by that of others; hence I hope
to be forgiven for invading the sanctity of
private life, for a lesson for the young lady
readers of the Index. They are justly en
titled to any events or circumstances which
may be of practical utility to them, and
such I. esteem the brief history of Lillie
Bird.
Lillie was, without comparison, the most
beautiful creature I ever beheld. I don’t
mention this merely to increase the interest
of the story, as is customary with writers of
fiction, but simply because it is true, and is,
par consequence , a part of the history.—
“Tastes differ concerning the beauty of the
“human face divine”; but there are some
rare cases which approximate so nearly to
the acme of perfection, but dimly discerned
in our ideal perceptions, all agree in
pronouncing them lovely. Lillie’s beauty
belonged to this class. No one could look
upon her wondrous loyeliness without a thrill
of pleasure, not unmixed with pain, as tho 7
she was a creature of a different sphere from
that of common mortals. But there is no
use in trying to describe that which the
painter’s art alone could have represented
with any degree of correctness; so I pass on
to other points of deeper interest.
She was the only daughter of the second
marriage of both her parents, and had been
reared in a home of elegance and an atmos
phere of love. She was gentle, affectionate
and confiding, but, as she grew towards
womanhood, the great admiration which her
beauty everywhere excited could not fail to
have some effect on her character. This
exhibited itself in a fondness for society
and a love of admiration, which were some
what detrimental to her progress as a stu
dent. In order to avoid interruptions of
this nature, her parents sent her to Macon
College. Here she acquitted herself well
in her studies, and in a few months became
deeply pious. Her letters now breathed a
depth and earnestness of devotion but sel
dom seen in one of her years. It was a
treat to read them. Her soul was filled to
overflow with love to God and all his crea
tures. She seemed particularly anxious
that all her young friends at home should
taste of the riches of God’s love as she had
done, and in all her letters to her mother
she sent messages to some of them, begging
them to taste and see that the Lord was
good.
We all looked forward with great eager
ness to her return home the next summer
.—wondered how she would deport herself,
and if she would be always talking about
religion. She came, the same sweet gentle
creature that she went away, only a little
thinner, and even lovelier than before. Her
countenance had received the crowning
grace, the spiritual charm, the evidence of
deeper thought and holier feeling, which
bad only been wanting to make it perfect.
She did not leave us long in doubt as to the
position she would take religiously; for a few
Sabbaths after her return she arose in an
“ experience meeting,” and told what God
had done for her. The effect was magical.
Think of a fair, young girl, only sixteen,
standing in the midst of grey-haired sires,
stately matrons, silly girls, and wild young
men, telling, with a beaming countenance,
of the influence of God’s love upon her
heart ! Some deemed her strange, and some
an enthusiast, but many more were con
vinced that there was a reality in the reli
gion of Jesus.
Her position being now fully defined, she
moved on in the even tenor of her way, the
light and joy of her home, and an ornament
to the society in which she moved. Many
admirers clustered around her, and many
suitors sought her hand, but in the midst
of them all she never swerved from the
straight and narrow way marked out by her
blessed Master. -
Among her most devoted admirers was
William Maxwell, the son of the Governor
of the State. He was handsome, talented,
and very pleasing ia his manners, though
decidedly irreligious. This she, no doubt,
regarded as an objection at first, but after
awhile she began to love him, and love,
which the ancients represented as blind, is
also deaf to the voice of reason. If the
command, “Be not unequally yoked to
gether with unbelievers,” ever occurred to
her mind, she doubtless evaded it by think
ing she might be the means of his conver
sion. Fancy now had sway, instead of con
science, and fancy invested him with every
noble attribute of heart and mind, besides
throwing a rosy mantle over those imperfec
tions which now and then obtruded them
selves upon her view. Alas ! for poor doat
ing woman ! when she clasps the tendrils of
her affections about an unreliable support,
without help from the Most High, she is
lost forever!
Lillie’s parents approved of the match,
and so she accepted William Maxwell. Her
mother, however, stipulated that the mar-’
riage should not take place till the next
winter, and as the parties urged no particu
lar objection, this arrangement was agreed
upon. She was, in the meantime, thrown
much with the Maxwell family, who were
not only irreligious, but volatile in disposi
tion. Being naturally plastic and yielding
in temper, she endeavored to conform to
their manners and habits as much as she
could consistently, and the consequence was
she soon grew cold and indifferent about
her religion. Do not censure her harshly
—“ Evil communications corrupt good man
ners ” comes from the pen of inspiration,
and is therefore as true as a law of nature.
She became fonder of frivolous society, and
less scrupulous about religious observances,
but she had not wholly forsaken the path of
duty, or forgotten her allegiance to Christ.
Often when alone she mourned over the
declension of her faith and resolved to be
more punctual in her private devotions; but
the influences about her were all against
holiness, and so she gradually drifted down
with the current. She determined, however,
when she was once married, to live differ
ently. Then she fondly imagined she would
be less exposed to temptation, not knowing,
poor girl, that a husband’s influence was
much gTeater than a lover’s.
As winter began to approach, she went
to the capital of the State, (whither the
Maxwells had returned from their summer
residence,) to spend a lew weeks with a
friend, and also to purchase her bridal
trousseau. The season was unusually gay,
and her beauty and grace making her an
object of great attractien, she was led into a
perfect round of frivolous pleasures. Wil
liam Maxwell was proud of his beautiful
young bride elect, and regretted exceeding
ly that she did not dance. He laughed in
her presence at the puritanic prejudice
against dancing, until she became ashamed
of her scruples and yielded. She only
needed this to make her thg, reigning belle
of the capital. Admiration beamed from
every eye, and compliments fell from every
tongue, as her graceful form floated around
in the mazes of the dance; and in the excite
ment of triumph the still small voice of con
science was hushed.
Like all novitiates, she now outstripped
the oldest devotees at pleasure’s shrine.—
No eye was so bright, no laugh so light, or
heart so full of sparkling merriment, as hers.
The few weeks of her visit soon rolled away,
and she returned home, dejected and mis
erable. The bright wine of pleasure, which
had been so sweet while to her lips, left no
abiding joy bebird. That peace of con
science, which had made her home the
“ dearest spot of earth,” was gone, and she
longed again for the giddy dance and whirl
of fashionable life, to-fill the aching void
within her heart. A mother’s quick dis
cerning eye noted the change in her dar
ling’s look and’manner, though unobserved
by others; so Mrs. Bird followed Lillie to
her room the first evening after her return,
and asked for an explanation.
“ I want to withdraw from the church,”
she replied. “I was mistaken in thinking
myself a Christian. I love parties and
dancing better than preaching and praying,
and I am not going to act the hypocrite
about it.”
“ That is a temptation from Satan, my
dear,” her mother replied, after dropping a
silent tear. “ Yon were converted—l can
not doubt it, and you will be miserable if
you withdraw from the church.”
“ I am miserable in it, and I suppose it
can be no worse out; besides, William likes
to have me dance, and I intend to please
him in preference to any one else.”
“ I hoped you would exert a good influ
ence over him, instead of his leading you
astray. Don’t act rashly, darling; wait and
think more about it before you decide to
tear yourself away from God’s people.”
“ My mind is already made upon that
point.”
“ I will pray for you, dear, that it may
be changed; good night.”
As soon as Mrs. Bird descended to her
own apartment, she fell upon her knees and
offered up a fervent prayer that God would
forgive her erring child and restore her to
His favor once again. She had been some
time engaged in earnest supplication, when
she heard Lillie scream fearfully. In an
instant she bounded up the steps, burst into
the room, and beheld her darling struggling
with flames of fire that had caught her
dressing-gown, and were fast wreathing
themselves about her beautiful face.
It was a fearful moment, but with rare
presence of mind the excited mother seized
a pitcher of wafer and threw its contents on
the flames, then gathered the rug from the
hearth and wrapped it about her shoulders.
With almost superhuman efforts she at
length succeeded in extinguishing the fire,
but not before poor Lillie was dangerously
burned.
As soon as she was clothed and laid in
bed, she whispered, “ Pray for me, mother,
lam going to die—and oh! lam so
so unprepared.”
The physician, who was immediately
summoned to her bed-side, pronounced it a
critical case, but was not altogether without
hope of her recovery. She, however, did
not shares his hopes. To her death seemed
inevitable; hut she said'she would not re
gard it if God would only forgive her sins.
All the ingratitude of her past conduct now
rose before her in its true light, and drove
her almost to despair. Her agony was dis
tressing. Every one who came about her,
whom she believed to be a Christian, was
urged to pray for her, and with almost every
breath she sent up a petition for herself.
At last, when she had almost given up to
despair, God, who never forsakes his chil
dren, though they wander far from him,
restored peace to her troubled soul-. Her
joy was now as great as had been her former
sorrow. Her whole soul was suffused with
love, and a joy ineffable beamed from her
countenance. How very beautiful she
looked as she lay praising God even for her
affliction, and exhorting all who came about
hor to meet her in heaven !
“ Do not weep for me,” she would say to
grieving friends; “I am thankful even for
these painful burns, which have snatched
me from the brink of ruin. I was in the
downward road and nothing else would
have arrested me; and what are these light
afflictions compared to the bliss of heaven ?
Ah ! heaven will be all the sweeter for my
sufferings here. How merciful and good is
God in not cutting off my brittle thread of
life without a moment’s warning.
When her betrothed first stood beside
her, weeping as if his heart would break,
she shed some natural tears of sympathy,
and then hurst into an ecstacy of joy,—
“ Oh, William, my darling, we can spend
an eternity together! A few years will
make no difference in great eternity, and
our joy will only be the sweeter for having
been delayed. Our happiness here would
have been short at best, and it might have
cost us our immortal souls. But, William,
you must prepare to meet me. Whither I
go you can not come without an interest in
the blood of Jesus. Promise me, dear love,
that you will seek forgiveness, lead a Chris
tian life, and meet me in heaveD.”
The promise was given, and with a se
raphic burst of joy she lifted her eyes to
heaven, murmuring, “ Oh, glory! glory! ”
and with the words still trembling on her
lips, she died.
All felt that an angel had been taken to
its proper element. It seemed, -too, that
the heavenly spirits, who had been sent to
bear her away, had left the aroma of their
wings within the atmosphere, for, instead
of grief, a sense of delicious joy pervaded
every heart. Even now, when I look around
upon the storms of war that rage about us,
I can but think, sweet Lillie is safe from it
all. Slie was taken from the evil to come.
SPIRITUAL REVIVAL THE WANT
OF THE CHURCH.
“0 ! ” says one, “if we had another
minister. O!if we had another kind of
worship. 0! if we had a different sort of
preaching.” Just as if that were all! It
is, “0! if the Lord would come into the
hearts of the men you have got. O ! if he
would make the forms you do use full of
power.” You do not want fresh ways or
fresh machinery; you want the life in what
you have. There is an engine on a rail
way; a train has to he moved. “Bring
another engine,” says one, “ and another,
and another.” The engines are brought,
but the train does not movg at all. Light
the 4ire and get the steam up, that is what
you want; not fresh engines. We do not
want fresh ministers, or fresh plans, or fresh
ways, though many might be invented, to
make the church better; we only want life
in what we have got. Given, the very man
who has .emptied your chapel; given, the
self-same person that brought your prayer
meeting low; God can make the chapel
crowded to the doors yet, and give thousands
of souls to that vefy man. It is not anew
man that is wanted; it is the life of God in
him. Do not be crying out for something
new; it will no more succeed, of itself, than
what you have. Cry, “ O Lord, revive thy
work!” I have noticed in different
churches that the minister has thought
first of this contrivance, then of that. He
tried one plan, and thought that would suc
ceed ; then he tried another —that was not
it. Keep to the old plan, hut get life in it.
We do not wAt anything new; “the old is
better”—let us keep to it. But wo want
the life in the old. ‘0 ! ” men cry, “we
have nothing but the shell; they are going
to give us anew shell.” No, sirs, we will
keep the old one, but we will have the life
in the shell too; we will have the old thing ;
but we must, or else we will throw the old
away, have the life in the old. 0! that
God would give us life. The church wants
fresh revivals. 0! % the days of Cambus
lang again, when Whitefield preached with
power. O ! for the days when in this place
hundreds were converted sometimes under
one solitary disoourse. O ! for the age when
eyes should he strained, and ears should be
ready to receive the word of God, and when
men should drink in the word of life, as it
is, indeed, the very water of life, which God
‘ ’-jy -■ ■ ■ ■ --
gives tfTdying souls f*X)! for the age of
deep feeling—the age of deep, thorough
going earnestness ! Let us ask God for it;
let us plead with him for it. Perhaps he
has the man, or the men, somewhere, who
will shake the world yet; perhaps even now
he is about to pour forth a mighty influence
upon men, which shall make the church as
wonderful in this age as it ever was in any
age that has passed.
THE ETERNAL FAREWELL.
To be cast out of heaven is an awful
thing. Some of you have parents there;
you have dear friends there; they grasped
your hand in death, and said, “Farewell,
until we meet you.” But if you never see
the kingdom of God, you can never see
them again. ‘-<My mother,” says one,
“sleeps in the graveyard; I often go to the
tomb and put some flowers upon it, in re
membrance of her who nursed me; but
must I never see. her again ?” No, never
again ; no, never, unless you are born again.
Mothers, you have had infants that have
gone to heaven; you would like to see your
family all around the throne; but you will
never see your children more, unless you
are born again. ‘Will you bid adieu this
day to the immortal ? Will you say fare
well this hour to your glorified friends in
Paradise ? You must say so, or else be
converted. You must**fly to Christ, and
trust in him, and his Spirit must renew you,
or else you must lookup to heaven and say,
“Choir of the blest! I shall never hear you
sing; parents of my youth, guardians of my
infancy, I love you, but between you and
myself there is a great gulf fixed ;I am cast
away, and you are saved.” 0,1 beseech
you, think on these matters.
THE BATTLE.
And behold, God Himself is with us for our
Captain- —2. Chron. xiii . 12.
The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord migh
ty in battle. — Ps. xxiv. 8.
He forgetteth not the ci'y of the humble. Ps.
ix, 12.
W hile you, O soldier, are engaged in the
field, the feeble hands which are unequal to
any other weapon, will grasp the sword of
the Spirit: and from myriads of humble
contrite hearts, and weeping will mingle in
.its ascent with the shock of arms.
And Thou, sole Ruler among the children
of men, to whom the shield of the earth be

valor,that confidence of success which springs
from thy presence. Pour into their hearts
the spirit of departed heroes. Inspire them
with Thy own ; and while lead by Thy hand,
and fighting under thy banner, open Thou
their eyes to behold in every valley, aud in
every plain what the prophet beheld by the
same illumination- —olmviota ot five and hor
