THE SOLDIERS’ COLUMN.
A GEM.
The maid whoUinds her warrior’s sash,
And smiling-, all her pain dissembles,
The while beneath the dropping lash
One starry tear-dron hangs and trembles—
Though heaven alone record the tear,
And fame shall never know her story,
tier heart has shed a drop as dear
As ever dewed the iield of glory I
The wife who girds her husband’s sword,
’Mid little ones who weep and wonder,
And bravely speaks the cheering.word,
What though her heart be rent asunder—
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of war around him rattle
lias shed as sacred blood as e’er
Was poured upon the plain of battle.
The mother who conceals her grief,
While to her breast her son she presses,
Then bieathes a few brave words and brief,
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses—
With no one but her secret" God
To know the pain that weighs upon her—
Sheds holy blood as e’er the sod
Received on Freedom’s field of honor!
[For The Baptist Banner.]
• Do our Friends Pray for Us!
Do you pray for us, friends? —those of
you who are, through the favor of God,
permitted to remain at home around your
warm and peaceful fireside ? Do you have
one thought for, or shed one sympathetic
tear over, the poor careworn and benighted
soldier in his tent? Or do you merely,
from a sense of Chr : stian duty, say to the
defenders of your country, u Pray for your
selves” ? Or do you lift them up to where
angels live through the medium and power
of prayer with which God has blessed you?
We do not speak to you, Oh! man, who is
now remaining at home, speculating upon
the country and swindling us out of our
pitiful wages; we desire not your prayers;
we prefer not to have them. Go before
the great Judge and be inscribed upon the
eternal book of remembrance, for fear your
hypocrisy and your blasphemy will ever
ruin your own soul and do us no good !
Repent yourself, and the soldier who has
kept the enemy from destroying all your
means of speculation, will humbly, upon
his knees, pray God to have mercy upon
you and forgive you. lie will no longer
bear malice towards you, but will forgive,
as he hopes to be forgiven. We will take
you into the brotherhood of tried patriots,
and join our prayers to the Supreme Ruler
and Disposer of all things to stop this cruel
and bloody war, and allow us to culminate
our hearts’ desire in achieving our indepen
dence, and establishing our government
upon a firm constitutional basis, that will
afford every one security alike in coming
time, when our children and children’s chil
dren will rise up to condemn us or to “call
us blessed.”
But to our friends who are charitable,
who unintentionally neglect the welfare of
our spiritual necessities: we call upon you
to throw off your apathy, unloose the well
springs of love in your hearts, and give the
ragged soldier the full benefit of your right
eousness. We have mothers and fathers
and kindred at home, whom we love, and
often wish to be with them in peace; not a
day passes but what we think of you and
the comforts of home ; we long to be with
you, but our duty calls us away ; our coun
try is laboring to bring forth a new-born
government, and in the hour of her sorest
trials, and in the midst of her painful heav
ings, what friend will for a moment leave
her side, and allow her to groan in agony
and die before the sun has risen upon a new
born nation, whose birth will make thou
sands shout for joy. If any one be so base,
“ palsied be his arm, and cloven down his
coest.” We must and will remain with
her until the joyous shout of millions of
freemen shall proclaim to the world “the
glad tidings of great joy,” when the estab
lished throne of our sovereignty shall send
forth its dazzling light upon the people ol
every nation. In view of these things re
member us, we beseech you,our friends, in
your prayers, and may our Heavenly Fa
ther answer you and us. G. A. W.
Tullahoma, Tenn., Feb. 5, 1803.
OUR SOLDIERS.
Much, and perhaps just, apprehension is
felt with reference to the demoralizing in
fluence of the war upon our soldiery. Sep
arated from the communities which have
hitherto cheeked and guarded them, and fai
from the softening, humanizing atmosphere
of home, it is feared that the temptations
of the camp may be greater than their pow
er of resistance, and they may return vic
tors, indeed, over our foes, but the vassals
of their own vices. Well-founded as this
apprehension may be, there is ground to
suspect that greater, because more insidi
ous, dangers beset, those v\ ho remain at
home. The vices of the camp are like the
delinquencies of college, which are usually
laid aside together with the academic gown,
and even restricted to the locality which
suggested them. The adventurous sopho
more who assails the roosts of “ lame vil
latie fowl,"' during term-time, does not em
ploy his vacation in nocturnal raids into
his neighbor's poultry yard, nor does the
student, at his exit from the classic halls,
repeat upon his fellow-citizens the tricks
upon his professors and fellow students, bv
which he gave vent to his juvenile love of
mischief or fun. lie becomes at once a
dignified, decorous citizen. In like manner
we may expect that the returned soldier
will bring from the camp nothing that is
peculiar to it. He will lay aside the sol
dier's faults with the soldier's uniform, and
take his place among his fellow-citizens, un
changed, excepting so far as the stern dis
cipline and heroic endurance of his former
occupation may have made him a wiser
and a better man. The camp is a place of
trial, but it is no less a school of virtue ;l
and the soldier may entitle himself to the
admiration of his country, not only by the
toils and perils of the campaign, but by the
high qualities which those toils and perils
have developed and nurtured.
The other class—those who stay at home
—are exposed to strong temptations, with
fewer compensatory influences. Under the
pressure of this war, our people are fast
filing off into the two divisions of warriors
and traders, or those who buy and sell,
whether produ ers or not. Such are the
facilities offered for the accumulation of
wealth, by high prices and dexterous spec
ulation, that the traders are greatly in dan
ger of being corrupted by “the love of
money, which is the root of all evil.” All
history has proved that the moral obliqui
ties which spring-from wealth are far more
perilous to nations and individuals than the
vices which are engendered by war. It
was luxury, not arms, that conquered Rome;
and long after the streets of the “ Eternal
City ” swarmed with effete dandies and av
aricious trades, the soldier preserved, in his
camp, the original type of the ancient Ro
man—his Sabine simplicity of manners, his
courage and inflexible endurance. Had the
mass of the people retained their ancient
virtue, the Empire might have hurled back
the horde of Barbarians with the vigor with
which the Republic repelled the Gaul and
the Carthaginian, when he thundered at her
f gates. But the conquerors of the world
were vanquished by their own lusts; the
’ rulers of mankind proved incompetent to
, govern themselves; and luxury, more cru
, el than arms, avenged a conquered world.
' THE CHILDREN’S COLUMN.
[For the Baptist Banner.]
A Riddle for the Children.
, My head and ears are both complete,
. I stand upright upon three fset; .
i f have no mouth, but loud I sing,
" When round my frame you tie a string.
Answer next week.
How many of the little ones will guess
'. this Riddle? Those who live in the country
■ stand the best chance.
. “ BEG UN CROOKED.”
■ One cold morning I heard the following
i conversation between a child and a friend
i who spent the previous night in the family
• to which she belonged. Said the girl to
( the visitor:
> “ Was you cold last night?”
The visitor pleasantly replied that itwas
- cold when he put his feet down in the
I bed, and he had to lie very crooked all
i night.
Immediately the child replied, “ That
t was because you beyun crooked.”.
I Probably most persons understand the
r truth and fitness of the remark, who have
- slept in a cold room on a winter’s night.
I But the remark, so expressive as origin
ally applied, is capable of a still wider ap
, plication, and was suggestive of some moral
f lessons.
i Look at that youth, who is irregular in
his habits, and crooked in all the paths
s which he makes for his feet, and who is
even now so near destruction as to be al
i most past recovery. He has lost his re-’
I gard for his parents, lost his self-respect;
i lost the confidence of his friends, lost all
1 reverence for sacred things, and has ap
i proached to the very verge of ruin. And
- as you look, do you ask the cause of all
i this? We answer, He beyun crooked.
t Look at that man in trade, who tells a
- different story to each customer, and mis
represents and bows, and flatters, and lies,
. and says all manner of crooked things to
- dispose of articles which he has for sale,
- while none who know him believe a word
, he utters. Are you astonished at this, and
s do you inquire how one, in a Christian
i land, can be so perverse? We answer, He
1 beyun crooked.
LITTLE SAMUEL.
1 Ist Samuel ii. 18. we.read that “Samuel
t ministered before the Lord, being a child.”
- But what could a child do in the temple?—
i Not much, indeed, but he could do some
. thing. He could wait on the priest Eli,
ami save him many steps; he could trim
and light a lamp, cleanse a dish, or run an
errand ; and because he could do this, and
’did do it, and had a pious mind, he is said
1 to have “ ministered before the Lord.”
s Learn hence that God accepts of small
services, if there be only a religious dispo
sition ol the soul; and that children, even,
Jean perform works well pleasing in His
sight. Let them then begin to do it. They
cannot commence too soon.
“Samuel, the child, was weaned and brought
To wait upon the Lord;
Young Timothy betimes was taught,
s ; To know His holy word.
“Then why should 1 so long delay
» i What others learned so soon ;
. i 1 would not pass another day
Without tiii- w>>rk began.”
e POLITENESS AT HOME.
>■ Always speak with politeness and defer
, ence to jour parents and friends. Some
i children are polite and civil everywhere
else except at home; but there they are
-.coarse and rude. Shameful !
Nothing sits so graceful upon children
)j nothing makes them so loveh, as habitual
' respect and dutiful deportment toward their
, friends and superiors. It makes the plain
? est face beautiful, and gives to every com
mon action a nameless but peculiar charm,
t “Mi son, hear the instruction of thy fa
i ther, and forsake not the law of thvnio-
• ther : tor they shall be an ornament of
grace to thy head, and chains about thv
i neck."— Proverbs, i. 8,9.
[ A LOVELY SPIRIT.
“ I wish every day was Sunday," said a
dear little girl to her mother. Her moth-
• er asked why.
“ Because 1 love to go to the Sabbath
’ school,” was the answer.
es, this little girl loved her teacher and
her lessons, and she loved to study her les
sons, and she treasured up what she heard
and read, and tried to be a great deal bet
ter for it. What a lovely spirit is thia, and
what a privilege and delight would Sabbath
Soool teachers feel it to be, to teach such
■ children. I
sS 2 Si Ai' iiiif I B ® .
GOD’S CHILD.
‘Do you feel that you are one of God’s
children ? ” asked a lady of a Sabbath-school
scholar. “I do not know,” he answered ;
“ I only know that once my Saviour was a
great way off, and 1 could see him.
Now he is near, and I love to do things,
and I love not to do things for his sake;
like as I do for my father’s or my mother s
sake.” Here indeed was that sweet spirit
of obedience which is the root of all true
piety in the heart.
A GOOD ANSWER.
A young lady in a Sabbath School a few
mornings since asked her class :
“ How soon should a child give its hear
to God ? ”
One little girl said, “ when thirteenyears
old;” another, “ ten,” another, “ six.
At length the least child in the class
spoke: “Just as soon as we know who
God is.”
1 Could there be a better reply ?
‘ If God has chosen your way, depend up
-1 on it, it is the best that could be chosen : it
“ may be rough, but it is right; it may be te
dious, but it is safe.
Riches are like nuts: many clothes are
torn in getting them, many teeth broken
in cracking them, but never hungry appe
tite satisfied with eating them.
