TO THE CHRISTIAN SOLDIER.
We are in the midst of a dreadful but
necessary and just Our Northern
neighbors are endeavoring to wrest from
us the birth-right of liberty bequeathed to
us by our revolutionary sires. They have
trampled under foot our glorious Constitu
tion, and attempted to deprive us of those
inalienable rights which nature and the God
of nature have given us. Self-preservation
is a principle deeply implanted in our na
ture. In view of all that we esteem most
d ear — O ur altars and our firesides —we are
called upon to assert our rights by an ap
peal to arms. Trusting in the justice of
our cause and the blessing of the God of
battles, our brave soldiers have gone forth
in defence of our country. Many Chris
tians, God-fearing men, are engaged in this ,
deadly struggle. To such we address a
few words of encouragement and advice.
Remember that God is present with you
everywhere. He has promised to be a
present help 55 to those who call upon Him.
You do not, then, go forth alone. Having
committed your cause unto God, all will
be well. The Sovereign Ruler of the uni
verse cares for the humblest of His chil
dren. Not a sparrow falls to the ground
without His knowledge. How much more,
then, are you the objects of His special
protection? He is your heavenly Father,
and regards you with all the tenderness
and love implied in this endearing relation.
Think of this, and of the incorruptible in
heritance He’ has in store for those who
serve Him faithfully in this world. Let
these considerations comfort you, and in
duce you to live above the sinful pleasures
of the world.
Do not forget your obligation to live
near to Jesus. You are surrounded by
much that is unfavorable to growth in pie
ty ; but think of the blessed promise, “My
grace is sufficient for thee.” on
Christ, trust in Him, serve Him faithfully,
and you will realize that He is present, and
that to bless. When danger is near and
temptations assail you, lean on the strong
arm of your great Deliverer. He has
promised never to forsake those who put
their trust in Him. Friends rnay be far
away, but you can have ever near you that
Friend who “ sticketh closer-than a broth
er.” It is one of the most glorious features
of religion that we can enjoy its blessings
when they are most needed. The Chris
tian has “ the promise of the life that now
is, and of that which is to come.” God is
his Father and heaven his home. Why
should you follow Christ at a distance,
when it is your privilege to live near the
cross, and to realize that comfort and joy
which the world can neither give nor take
away? While you are performing your
duty to your country, remember that you
have enlisted in a nobler service—that of
King Jesus. Fight the good fight of faith,
lay hold on eternal life. Strive to show
yourself approved —a good soldier of the
cross. As the Apostle says, “Gird on the
whole armor of God, that you may be able
to withstand the wiles of the devil.” Nu
merous and deadly enemies assail you, but
under the guidance of the great Captain of
our salvation, you will go forth conquering
and to conquer.
Reflect seriously on the character of the
influence you are exerting on your com
panions. “No man liveth unto himself.”
Live for God and the good of your fellow
soldiers. Let yoiy conduct be such that
they may take knowledge of you that you
have been with Jesus. Keep aloof from
vice and immorality of all kinds; discoun
tenance them by your actions; show that
you have enjoyments superior to the pleas
ures of sin; let the beauty and transform
ing power of true religion be seen in your
lives. Thereis no estimating the amount
of good you may do by living up to your
profession. A truly pious man is a living
argument in favor of religion.
You have left your homes and gone forth
to fight the invaders of your country. For
the success of your arms rely on the God
ot battles. lie is the Sovereign Dispo
ser of events, and we may be assured that
He is not an indifferent spectator of the
struggle in which we are engaged. When
youjight, go forth in the strength of God.
While you are called to perform your dutv.
it is for Him to give the victory. The
hearts of all men are in His hand ; and lie
can dispose our enemies to desist from this
unjust war. lie is the God of providence;
and in many instances during this unhappy
war, can we discover that His hand has
been with us. We should be more pray
erful, and feel more, of our entire depen
deuce on God to give us the victory over
our foes. \\ e have wise generals and brave
soldiers, but if our cause triumphs, (as we
are confident it will,) it will be onh thio’
the blessing of God. When ('hristians are
more prayerful and humble, we may hope
tor the dawn of a brighter day on our as
dieted country.
Should you be required to lay down your
life in this struggle for liberty, endeavor to
be ready fbr the change. Life is at all
times uncertain, but especially so in the
army. Endeavor to live a Christian, to
keep your lamp trimmed and burning, and
then you will be prepared for death when
ever it may come. It will be but a wel
txmje messenger to summon you from a
world of sin and suffering to the blessed in
heritance of the saints in glory. •• The
sting of death is sin ; ” but Christ has given
us the victory over our last enemy by be
itig made a curse tor us, and thus, clothed
m the robe ot His spotless righteousness,
the law has no further claim on us. Thus,
at the approach of the grim monster, it is
the privilege of the Christian exultingly to'
exclaim, “ O death, where is thy stfrig ? O
grave, w here is thy victory ’ Thanks be to
God. who giveth us the victory through
ear Lord Jesus Christ.”

at the rate of $2.50 per year.
THE BELIEVER LONGING.
What has been your most ardent desire,
since first you learned to love, confide, re
joice and glory in Christ? Has it not been
for more of Christ ?—more of Christ’s love,
of Christ’s spirit, of Christ’s image? Is it
not then enough to make death wear in
vour eyes the smiling aspect of a welcome
friend, when you reflect that the moment it
has torn aside the veil of mortality which
hides from your view the Saviour that you
love, you shall see that Saviour face to face,
unveiled in all His glory? You shall have
Christ Himself in all His fullness, as your
own forever; you shall hear His voice;
you shall bask in the sunshine of His smile;
you shall dwell in His immediate presence;
you shall ba perfectly like Him, and unin
terruptedly with Him forever —never, nev
er more to grieve, doubt, distrust or dis
please Him for one moment, throughout
ty with Christ be indeed a blissful eternity ?
And when you look on death as the portal
of such an eternity, are you not ready with
St. Paul to exclaim: “I have a desire to
depart and be with Christ!” and with St.
John, on hearing, at the close of the apoca
lyptic vision, the Saviour’s voice, declar
ing, “ Behold, I come quickly ! ” in a trans
port of holy joy to cry out, “ Even so come
Lord Jesus! ”

CHARADE.
An instrument that’s slight and frail,
My first can make a coward quail;
Nay, stout hearts oft before it yields,
When skillful hands this weapon wields:
• ’Tis formed of silver, steel and gold,
And sometimes from the eagle bold,
Or silly goose, a pinion’s stold,
And fashioned by the hand ot art,
It neatly executes its part;
In short, a most efficient tool,
Swayed by a sage ’gainst prating fool.
A personal pronoun, my second you’ll find.
Relates to yourself apart from mankind.
’Tis morning, and the sun glows bright
O'er grassy plain and rugged height.
How peaceful seems the landscape fair!
How sweet to breathe the balmy air!
My third a round of canvass rears
Its snowy head, and proudly bears
A graceful flag, with silken fold
Scarce by the gentle breeze unrolled.
But hark! the sound of drum and fife,
1 And clang of armor, tell of strife.
Ah! blood and carnage, death and pain,
Must desecrate the peaceful plain.
When on the earth the Saviour trod,
A very man, and yet a God !
> A frail and sinful woman bowed,
As my whole, amid the scoffing crowd,
And asked for mercy, while in scorn
i They jeered at Him, the manger born.
(’ ‘‘Daughter, tree pardon I bestow; ” »
Now go in peace and sin no more,”
lie said; and, passing on, He prayed
'■ For those who soon His life betrayed.

NOT SO FAST, BOYS.
t Many of the sports of children are too
f often dangerous. The great anxiety of pa
r rents in sending their children from home
to school, grows out of their apprehension
> that some accident will happen to them in
. their play and sports. Parents take great
’ pleasure in seeing their children active and
. playful, but tremble lest the buoyancy and
thoughtlessness of childhood should lead
, them into perilous expeditions and unlucky
, experiments. They fear they will go into
or upon water, and be drowned; will climb
treesand fall; will venture upon thin ice
and fall through; will ride unmanageable
horses, or undertake a warTipon the squir
. rels with powder, and be shot.
Children are not. aware of this anxiety.
Every movement with them is upon the
; “ word and a blow ” plan. Time is not
given for reflection, caution or philosophy,
i “John, you don’t dare climb that tree, and
• see what is in that nest up there.” “See
I it I don’t, Robert.” And there he is tug
ging up the tree. Now let us look at the
: hazards. If a limb breaks, he may fall, or
• if his feet or hands slip—if he becomes
i frightened or dizzy, or has the cramp,—
.'.down he goes. His father and mother
. .don’t know he is upon the tree, and if they
• did they could not reach him to get him
• down in safety. Their hearts would spring
, up to their throats in a minute, could they
; see him.
Now let us reason about it a moment.
-.Suppose there is a nest up there, the boys'
have no business with it,. It belongs to'
some beautiful bird, who wants her houset
anil home as much as those bovs do theirs.
“ It was built up high to keep it away from
■ the boys, the cats, weasels, shunks, Ac.
i “ But Robert slumped me I ” Well, sup
pose he did. He was a coward, or he
would have led the way, instead of calling I
upon John to go up. True courage consists '
in doing it in the right way, at "the right
time, and from right motives. Boy’s don’t !
‘stop long enough to think of all things, but
1 away they rnn, forgetting the advice, en-l
treaties, and often commands of their pa
‘j rents. ,
If John falls he may strike his head first,
and die; or he may break his leg and lame
him as long as he lives. He must be car-'
ried home or his parents sent for, and oh !
how grieved they must be—grieved that
R >b< rt had dared him—grieved that he had
fallen ai d was hurt, and grieved that he
had forgotten their wishes and commands.
W ith a.! his pain, poor John can not help
| thinking that it he had been more thought
tul, he would have escaped this sad disas
ter. and would have saved his dear parents
the distress his disobedience have brought
upon them as well as upon himself.
Climbing trees is only one of a multitude
of ways in which boys get broken limbs
and wearisome lives. They are very fond
ot powder and of water. But we must
'talk ot them hereafter.

On Jordan’s happy shore ;
There we ll weep and sigh no more.
Come join the concert sweet.
