'The "toms" of Rey. 17. 
BY D. T. TAYLOR. 
To whom does the word "come" in the above 
"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come, for 
they look for, and hasten unto the coming of the 
day of the Lord, and let him that heareth an-
swer, Come. And then, at my coming, I will 
fulfill to him my words. Ho, every one that 
thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that 
bath no money ; come ye, buy and eat ; yea, 
come, buy wine and milk without money and 
without price:"—Isa. 55 : 1. (Note or head-
ing : "That the coming of Christ is the great oh. 
ject of expectation to the church, and that this 
revelation is to serve to the end.")—Rev. W. 
H. Hoare on Apoc. p. 149. 1848. 
"The Spirit saith, Come ; For by his Spirit 
alone in the heart can we wish for his coming; 
his Spirit can alone desire, can alone prepare us 
for his coming ; and the Bride, his church, also 
in waiting, says come,—even as a bride looks for 
the coming of her Lord, and makes herself 
ready for that coming. They that love his ap-
pearing, is the very mark of his elect ; they are 
ever looking for and pasting unto the coming of 
the day of God. And they that are heavy laden 
also, that thirst after righteousness to which they 
feel that they have not attained, they also may 
Come," etc.—Ree. Isaac Williams, on Apoc. p. 
484, 1852. 
"And all godlie spirits, and Christ's holy 
Church, and chest spouse, wished him to come, 
and ye that heare, pray for his coming ; and let 
every man that zealeth, and thirsteth after spir-
ituall graces., approach and come unto him," 
etc.—(Lord) john Napeir on Rev. p. 319. 
London, 1611. 
"The Spirit, or Holy Ghost, who directs the 
church, and the Bride of Christ, or the church 
herself, cry to me, saying : Come, hasten the 
general judgment, put an end to the labors of 
your servants, and admit them into the heavenly 
city. Whosoever heareth this cry of the Holy 
Spirit and the church, let him also say, Come ; 
let every one join in the same request, because 
it is for the ultimate and greatest blessing. And 
if any one thirsteth after the water of life, after 
the glory which I give, let him come and meet 
Catholic. 1771.

"The former part of this verse appears to be 
expressive of the earnest desire of the redeemed 
will be a glorious one, being in his own glory, 
and his Father's, and the holy angels ; and see- 
ing then will be the solemnization of the mar- 
riage-day between Christ and his church, etc., 
and let him that heareth say come likewise ; or 
express his wishes and desires in the same earn-
est and affectionate manner, that Christ would 
hasten his second coming."—Dr. John Gill on 
Rev. pp. 688-89. 1763. 
"These kinde of abrupt sentences, full of af-
fection, serve to stir up like affections, desires, 
and wishes in us. Here the Lord Jesus com-
mends unto us the studie of this prophesie by 
the example of the Spirit and of the Bride : they 
say Come, that is, from this prophesie they look 
for my comming, and that I fulfille the same. 
Therefore ye also that heare this prophesie ought 
to have the like desire. By the Spirit and 
Bride may be meant the spiritual Bride, sancti-
fied by the Spirit of God. By the Bride I un-
derstand the church, especially the triumphant. 
She desires me to come, that is, to fulfill the 
prophesie, and to return to judgment, that she 
might be glorified through a finall redemption : 
like,as the souls under the altar did desire the 
full deliverance of the church from all the mise 
ries of this life. Or we may understand the 
Spirit properly of the Holy Ghost, who spake to 
the churches in the Epistles in which it is oft 
repeated, Hee that bath eares let him heare what 
the Spirit saith unto the churches. In this 
sense the Spirit is said to wish the coming of 
Christ, by a nzetalepsis ; because it is the Spirit 
that makes the Bride to desire Christ's coming ; 
in which sense also it is said, Rom. 8: 26, that 
the Spirit maketh intercession for us, that is, 
stirreth us up to make our requests and to cry 
Abba Father. Come to the full glorification of 
thy Bride. This is the reason of the wish, for 
the coming of the Lord shall be the full redemp-
tion of the church : the which, seeing wee all 
doe expect, wee must also wish for the comming 
of the Lord, for as the apostle intimates, it is a 
note of God's children to love his coming, 2 Tim. 
4 : 8, and let him that heareth, etc. This is the 
consequent of the former, as if he should say, if 
the Spirit and the Bride long for my comming, 
then also let him that heareth the words of the 
prophesie say Come ; that is, ardently desire my 
coming for his redemption. Thus he would have 
us continually to pray Thy kingdom come. By 
which we daily desire that the Lord Jesus by 
his comming would wholly destroy the kingdom 
of Satan and perfectly set up his own," etc.—
David Parcus Corn. on Rev. pp. 593-4. Am-
sterdam, 1844. 
"In the eleventh place is brought in speaking 
the church, wyshing the comming Christe unto 
judgment, For sins our Lorde Jesus Christe is 
so good, so benign, and holsome, whome all this 
booke bath prornysed to come, and to deliver 
the church of sainctes afflicted in this svorlde, 
now is resited the desire of the same his church, 
wyshing and calling the Lorde, sayeng, Come. 
For anone we shall heare the Lorde promisying 
and saying, Be it, I come quickly : and the 
church agayne reporting Amen : even so come 
Lorde Jesus. And that the spirite within our 
body crieth busily to the Lorde for our deliver-
ance and glorifieng, the Apostle mentioneth much 
in the 8 to the Itomanes. Notwithstanding that 
by the spirite may be understand every spiritu- 
all man also. And therefore Aretas he nameth 
them spirite, sayeth he, which are accounted 
worthie of the spirituall marriage, and the Bryde, 
the church itselfe : Thus sayeth he. Of the 
Bryde we have spoken many times in this worke, 
so that we nede not be tedeous in repeting the 
same. Howe be it with a wonderfull desyre all 
the godly covet that the Lorde wolde come unto 
judgment : To the wicked that day is terrible 
and abhorred, to the godly most joyfull and 
wished for. For the godly perceave that they 
shall once be delivered from all evylles, and 
plentifully rewarded with all good thinges, that 
the glory and veritie of God shall be avaunced 
and established, that all ungodlyness shall be 
abolished, and the wicked by the just judgment. 
Whereupon St. Peter, in the 3 chapt of the Actes, 
calleth this day the restoring and perfourming of 
all such things as God bath at any time spoken 
by the mouth of his prophetes. In that same 
day therefore shall all the promesses of God even 
of the greateste matters be fulfi led throughely. 
Therefore sayeth the Lorde in the gospell : Lift 
up your heads for your redemption draweth 
nere. They that mourne and are desperate—
like cast down their heads,—the Lorde biddeth 
us lifte up our heades, to be cheerefull and of 
good hope. For we shall certainly be delyvered 
and glorefled, which have been in the world a 
laughing stocke and had in derision of all men. 
. . . . The godly shall rejoyce in him whome 
they see comming, shewyng the woundes where-
with they are redeemed. Lyke as therefore the 
desyre of sainctes was greateste when the first 
comming of our Savior approached nere, as.in 
Symeon alone appeareth, Luke 2,—right so at 
the second comming of Christe unto judgment 
all sainctes with uncessable voyces shall crye, 
and continually do crye, Come, Lorde Jesus, come 
and deliver us, come and maynetayne thy glorie 
and church, almoste braughte to naught; come 
our Redeemer and Savior se wished and loked 
for, despatch us from evilles, grant us the good 
thinges promised." —Henry Ballinger, pastor at 
Znryk. A hundred sermons on the Apoc. pp. 
691-93. 1561. 
HYMNS 810 AND 811 ON REVELATIONS XXII., 17. 
"The church in her militant state 
Is weary, and cannot forbear, 
The saints in an agony wait 
To see Him again in the air; 
The Spirit invites in the bride 
Her heavenly Lord to descend, 
And place her enthroned at his side 
In glory that never shall end. 
The news of Isis coming I hear, 
And join in the catholic cry, 
0, Jesus, in triumph in appear, 
Appear on the clouds of the sky! 
Whom only I languish to love, 
With fulness of majesty come, 
And giro me a mansion above, 
And take to my heavenly home." 
Charles Wesley, M. A. Short Hymns on Select Passages 
o1 Holy Scriptures, in two volumes. Vol. II., p. 358. 
London: 1796. 
I have been much stirred in my heart and 
comforted in reading these golden commentaries 
of holy men of old as well as modern times; so 
much so that I could not refrain from copying 
them for the readers of the Crisis, with the wish 
that every other one of our Advent papers 
would see fit to reprint them, and thus spread 
them before those in America who wait for the 
Lord to come from heaven, that they tnly be

world, and go up with the Bride. I have taken "Here our Saviour shows the true effect of 
 
this view of the. text for years, and regard it as t this revelation in the hearts of the faithful, viz., 
worthy of special notice, and exactly suited to earnestly to desire his second coming : The 
 
our times. 
Spirit in their hearts, and the Bride, that is the 
whole catholic church, wish and long for his sec-
ond' coming. And let him that heareth say 
come; that is, every one that heareth and be-
lieveth these glorious things should also desire 
the same, and long for the performance of them, 
praying daily, Thy kingdom come. These are 
short and abrupt sentences, full of holy affection. 
Our Saviour lets the church know that he-is to 
send no new Scripture, or messages of this sort 
to them ; they have no more to expect but his 
second coming upon the accomplishment of this 
prophecy. As Malachi in his last chapter closes 
the canon of the Old Testament with a promise 
of Christ's first coming, and refers the people of 
God to the law of Moses and to the prophets till 
then ; so Christipere closes the canon of the 
New Testament ewith a promise of his second 
coming. And let him that is athirst, viz., after 
righteousness,—say come, that is, desire and 
pray that Christ may come and receive all the 
faithful into heaven."—Samuel Oradock on Rev. 
p. 253. 1696. 
"Hearing Christ say that he should come 
quickly, verse 7, 12, the Spirit and the Bride 
express an earnest wish, and a most affectionate 
desire after his coming ; by the Spirit may be 
meant the Spirit of God in the hearts of his peo-
ple, who not only convinces them of, and ac. 
quaints.them with the coming of Christ to judg-
ment, and gives them reason to expect it, .but 
fills their souls with the love of his appearing; 
so that they look and long for it, and hasten in 
the breathings of their souls after it ; . . . even 
all the elect of God ; . . . the Lamb's wife, 
these wait for the Bridegroom's coming, ,and 
most earnestly desire it, as there is good reason 
for them so to do, since his appearing in itself

cited by it, or is Christ invited? Does it mean Holy Spirit, who in the economy of the redernp-

sage by apocalyptical writers, selected frotn my an ardent wish and fervent aspiration for the 
accomplishment of the Lord's gracious promise

Phenomena of Camphor in Water. 
When small pieces of camphor are dropped 
on the surface of a glass of water several curi-
ous phenomena may be observed. They imme-
diately commence to rotate, and move about with 
remarkable energy ; varying sometimes hi rapid-
ity, but usually conducting their gyrations in a 
strange and erratic manner. In order to obtain 
the best effects, some precautions are necessary : 
thus, the camphor should be tolerably pure, the 
piece employed should be cut and separated 
from the larger lump with a perfectly clean in-
strument, and contact with the fingers should be 
scrupulously avoided. Moreover, the glass should 
be quite clean and the water pure. When these 
conditions are satisfied, the phenomena are really 
very striking, and well merit more attention 
than is generally devoted to such things. If, 
instead of using a torn or cut fragment from a 
lump of camphor, one or two fine crystals are 
detached with a clean needle-point from the cork 
of a phial in which camphor is kept, and these 
are let fall on clean water, they at once begin to 
move about with wonderfully increased rapidity, 
darting away in various directions, as if shot 
from some miniature engine, or, endowed with 
life and a will of their own ; each crystal quiv-
ering and rocking on the water with an appar-
ent high degree of indignation at its forced con-
tact with the humid surface. This fury gradu-
ally diminishes, and a regular dance begins ; 
the various particles select partners, to some of 
which they will seem to cling with pertinacity ; 
whilst others will either remain indifferent, or, 
if attracted, will only stay a very short time in 
embrace, and wander again in search of more 
congenial floating associates. 
In describing the method of separating and 
placing the camphor on the water, we laid some 
stress on the fact that everything should be quite 
clean, and that the fingers should not touch the 
camphor in any stage. The reason of this is 
obvious. If, whilst camphor is actively moving 
on water, the most minute particle of certain 
greasy substances touch the water, instantaneous-
ly, as if by some magic, the camphor is deprived 
of all motion. The scene of previous activity is 
changed into immobility. This curious proper-
ty has been made use of to detect grease in 
quantities so extremely minute as would appear 
almost fabulous, for camphor cannot be made to 
rotate on water containing the most infinitesi-
mal portion of grease.—London Photouraphic 
News. 
The Dignity of Labor. 
Very much has been said, at different periods 
of the world's history, about the dignity of labor ; 
and orators and politicians have turned many 
pretty periods, and rounded sentences with sono-
rous allusions to the "bone and sinew of the 
land." The admiration and adulation of these 
gentry is partly true and partly false, and too 
often their sentiments are uttered for sinister 
purposes. In either event, whether the after-
dinner speakers mean what they say or not, no 
lover of his race can withold his hearty admira-
tion for the sturdy, law-abiding, hard-working 
mechanic, who toils with the sun, and wrests 
from his trade a modest but certain support. 
The little picture of his home, beautified by the 
taste of his equally frugal wife ; the children 
who share his hearth and cot; these have been 
held up to public view, and have been admired 
and dwelt upon with pleasure, as they should be. 
This is one aspect of the mechanic's social posi-
tion ; and another is that one in which, by the 
universal consent and vote of his fellow-citizens, 
the artisan aspires and is elected to an honor-
able office, in which political wire-pulling nor 
trickery are of any value. The dignity of labor 
is then realized in the reward of 'industry and 
honesty, and the preferment which naturally 
follows in the wake of integrity when manifested 
in any sphere of life. 
But there is no dignity to be found in those 
laborers who fritter away their time, and reduce 
1 
their family to want, by hanging around pot- 
those individuals who lounge about workshops, 
and condole with their fellows upon the small 
amount of wages they receive ; who endeavor to 
inc,te strikes, thereby bringing beggary and ru-
in upon themselves; who deprecate and ridicule 
the efforts of apprentices to improve their spare 
hours with study ; and who, in brief, embarrass 
every good and noble movement by sneering and 
declaiming against it, or by manifesting spite 
and opposition to moral and physical advance-
ment of every kind. There is no dignity in the 
laborers who represent this class let them belong 
to whatever handicraft they may. They stand 
metaphorically in the position of Samsoe of old; 
with either arm around the coluws of the social 
temple, they topple the whole fabric to its fall, 
careless that they also are involved in its de-
struction.—Scientific American. 
Sleep. 
Death from old age has been compared to 
falling asleep, never to awaken again in this 
world ; and hence the transition is easy to a lu-
cid consideration of the phenomena of sleep, 
"nature's soft nurse," so necessary to our exist-
ence. Death or madness must be the result of 
a long continued absence of this great restorer ; 
so felt and said Byron in his last illness. Sir 
Benjamin Brodie mentions the case of a gentle-
man who, from intense anxiety, passed six entire 
days without sleep. At the end of this time he 
became affected with illusions of such a nature 
that it was necessary to place him in confine-
ment. After some time he recovered perfectly. 
He had never shown any signs of mental de-
rangreent before, nor had any one of his family, 
and he has never been similarly affected since, 
Those who have been subjected to cruel tortures 
have declared that the most intolerable was the 
deprivation of sleep ; and as this was one of the 
modes of treating the unhappy old women who 
fell into the hands of the witch-finders, it may 
account for some of their illusions, and the crazy 
confessions they made. The sick-nurse fre-
quently has recourse to stimulants, which indeed 
remove for a time the uneasiness and languor occa-
sioned by the want of sleep, But the temporary 
relief is dearly purchased, and those who have re-
course to alcohol on such occasions, should know 
that it does not create nervous power, but only 
enables the recipients to use up that which is 
left, leaving them in more need of rest than 
ever, when the stimulas has ceased to act. 
The Value of Newspapers. 
Many persons regard the money expended 
upon newspapers as so much money thrown away ; 
but this is not the case, for it is a well-known 
fact, without exception, that those scholars of 
both sexes and all ages who have had access to 
newspapers at home, when compared with those 
who have not, are- 
1st. Better readers, excelling in pronuncia-
tion and emphasis, and consequently read more 
understandingly. 
2d, They are better spellers, and define words 
with greater ease and accuracy. 
3d. They acquire a practical knowledge of 
geography in almost half the time it requires 
others, as the newspaper has made them farnil-
liar with all the important places, nations, their 
governments and doings, on the globe. 
4th. They are better grammarians; for, having 
become familiar with every variety of style in the 
newspaper, from the common-place advertise. 
ment to the finished and classical oration of the 
statesman, they more readily comprehend the 
meaning of the text, and consequenly analyze 
its construction with greater accuracy. 
5th. They write better composition, use better 
language, containing more thoughts, more clearly 
and connectedly expressed. 
6th. Those young men who have for years 
been readers of the newspapers are always 
found taking the lead in debating societies, ex-
hibiting a more extensive knowledge on a greater 
variety of subjects, and expressing their views 
with greater fluency, clearness and correctness 
in the use of language. 
Dangerous Coin in Circulation, 
In consequence of the absence of gold, oppor-
tunity has been afforded experts to manufacture 
large quantities of "filled" coin, which is said to 
be pretty well circulated in this and other cities. 
The resumption of payment of custom duties in 
gold, in consequence of the scarcity of the de-
mand notes, has brought out the false coin in 
company with the genuine; and the counterfeits 
are so well made that none but experts can de-
tect them. We are informed that many of the 
banks have received and paid this false issue 
brokers take and sell it, and it is sent to the 
Custom-house to pay duties, without criminal 
knowledge or intent. The proportion of the 
filled coin now in use is not large, as compared 
with the genuine currency, but it is neverthe-
less true that few of the men handling it know 
whether the coin is genuine or not, and the un-
initiated cannot possibly detect the work of the 
tamperers. 
At the. Custom-house, the filled pieces are 
sent in for payment of duties, while the rejec-
tion of a number of them in one day is not un-
common. The discovery of these pieces is fol-
lowed immediately by cutting them in halves with 
a chisel, when they are returned to their owners, 
who, of course, replace them with good coin. 
The system of filling, as now practiced, origi-
nated in California, and was detected in England 
in the process of melting the coin. The busi-
ness is now, if possible, more carefully, and also 
more extensively conducted. The process is to 
split the coin, to take from the centre one-third 
to one-half, and in some cases, a larger propor-
tion of the gold, which is carefully weighed, 
and an equal amount of platina, or alloy of pla-
tina, of an inferior quality, put in its place—in 
what manner is not precisely understood. The 
sides of the coin are then closed, the edge is re-
milled, and the whole of the work is so accurate-
ly done that not only the weight of the piece re-
mains unchanged, but the size remains the same 
or so nearly the same that the difference is not 
perceptible ; and what is most singular, the 
"ring" is perfectly clear. This test, therefore, 
which is generally employed to detect spurious 
coin is quite useless, although some experts 
think they can by this means observe and detect 
the filled pieces. The milling of the coin most 
frequently reveals its character. 
At the present rate of premium, six to seven 
dollars' worth of gold can be taken from a ten-
dollar piece, while the filling is estimated to 
be worth four dollars per ounce—one-fifth, per-
haps, of the metal abstracted. 
The skill with which the fraud is committed 
constitutes its chief danger ; but it is by no 
means likely that any large proportion of our 
gold coin will be thus debased.—Philadelphia 
Press. 
Bird-catching Spider. 
The spider was nearly two inches in length 
of body, but the legs expanded seven inches, and 
the entire body and legs were covered with 
course grey and reddish hairs. I was attracted 
by a movement of the monster on a tree trunk ; 
it was close beneath a deep crevice in the tree, 
across which was stretched a dense white web. 
The lower part of the web was broken, and two 
small birds, finches, were entangled in the pieces; 
they were about the size of English siskin, and I 
judged the two to be male and female. One of 
them was was quite dead ; the other lay under 
the body of the spider not quite dead, and was 
smeared with the filthy liquor or saliva exuded 
by the monster. 
I drove away the spider and took the birds : 
but the second one soon died. The fact of species 
of Mygale sallying forth at night, mounting trees 
and sucking the eggs and young of humming 
birds, has been recorded long ago by Madame 
Merian and' Palisot de Beauvois ; but in the ab-
sence of any confirmation it has come to be dis-
credited. 
The Mygales are quite common insects; some 
species make their cells under stones, others 
form artistic tunnels in the earth, and some 
build their dens in the thatch of houses. The 
natives call them Arauhas carangueijeiras, or 
crab-spiders. The hairs with which they are 
clothed come off when touched, and cause a pe- 
culiar and almost maddening irritation, 'pe. 
first specimen that I killed and prepared was 
handled incautiously, and I suffered terribly for 
three days afterward. I think this is not owing 
to any poisonous quality residing in the hairs, 
but to their being short and hard, and thus get-
ting into the fine creases of the skin. Some My-
gales are of immense size. One day I saw the 
children, belonging to an Indian family who cols 
lected for me, with one of these monsters secured 
by a cord round its waist, by which they were 
leading it about the house as they would a doge—.

Looks of Edmund Burke. 
The North British Review gives this sketch 
of him : When Burke came forward, as his cus-
tom was, to the middle of the House of Com-
mons, to speak, the first peculiararity that 
caught the eye of the spectator was the glasses 
which he almost constantly wore in the days of 
his celebrity. He was tall and noble looking, 
with a decidedly prepossessing appearance ; by 
no means smart in his dress, yet possessing a 
personal dignity which the tailor could not have 
given him. He seemed full of' thought and care : 
and the firm lines about the mouth, the strong 
jaw, and severe glance of the dark eye, spoke of 
many an inward battle which was known to no 
human observer. The head was solid and in-
tense rather than massive, high rather than 
broad, and tolerably prominent ; fuller, one 
would say at first sight, of the reasoning than 
of the imaginary power. IIis nose, which was 
straight as if it had been cut after a bevel, opened 
out into two powerful nostrils, made apparently 
only to sneer. Altogether he looked like a 
great man with a great lesson to read to men, 
more than like a gentle one sent into the world 
to please. He spoke with a decided Hibernian 
accent, although he left the country early in life. 
But it is to be remarked that men of genius 
hardly ever lose the tongue of their youth. Ile 
had a voice of great compass, and he never re-
quired to hesitate for words. They came quick 
and vehement, frequently almost beyond the 
power of utterance. As he spoke, his head rose 
and fell ; now it swung, and anon it oscillated 
from side to side of his body, moved by the in-
tense nervous action of his frame. Young Gill-
ray, the foremost of English caricaturists, sketches 
Burke in various postures and attitudes. One 
of the most characteristic of these represents 
him as rapt in the delivery of some splendid 
oration, with his hands clenched and his arms 
raised erectly over his head, his whole body a 
picture of living energy. 
Adventure with Lions. 
We were waked up suddenly, by hearing one 
of the oxen bellowing, and the dogs barking. 
It was moderately dark, and I seized Clifton's 
double rifle and rushed out, not knowing where, 
when I saw the driver perched on the top of a 
temporary hut made of grass, about six feet 
high, roaring lustily for a doppe (cap.) I 
scrambled up just as the poor ox ceased his cries, 
and heard the lions growling and roaring on the 
top of him, not more than fourteen yards from 
where we were, hut it was too dark to see them. 
I fired, however, ie the direction of the owl, 
and just above the body of the ox, which I could 
distinguish tolerably well, as it was a black one. 
Diza, the driver, followed my example, and es 
the lions did not take the least notice, I fired m7 
second barrel, and was just proceeding to load 
my own gun, which Jack had I rought, when I 
was aware, for a single instant only, that the 
lion was coming, and the same moment I was 
knocked half a dozen somersaults backward off 
the hut, the brute striking me in the chest with 
his head. I gathered myself up in a second, 
and made a dash at a fence just behind me, and 
scrambled through it, gun in hand, but the muz-
zle.was choked with dirt. I then made for the 
wagon and got on the box, where I found all the 
Kaflirs who could not get inside sticking like 
monkeys, and Diza perched on the top. Ilow 
he got there seemed to be a miracle, as he was 
alongside me when the brute charged. A min-
ute or two afterward, one of them marched off 
with a goat, one of the five that were tethered by the 
foot to the hut which we- had so speedily evaell' 
ated.

diments, pastry, confectionary, and drinking 
vile stuff—doctoring with vile drugs instead of 
pure water ; the teeth become corrupt, and cov-
ered with foul tartar, and filled with rotten filth ; 
then comes a sickenig foul breath, so foul indeed 
as to be almost past endurance, by another, 
whose breath. in turn, though of a different odor, 
may be no less impure. Now this nuisance 
may be lessened and abated, if not entirely re-
moved. Let each and every person, eld and 
young, make it an invariable rule to wash and 
clean their teeth at least once a day, though bet-
ter still, after every meal. Let mothers see to 
it, that their own and their children's teeth are 
properly washed. Begin now. If you have no 
toothbrush, get one the very first opportunity. 
You do not need either tooth powder, tooth paste, 
or powdered charcoal ; a tumbler of clean soft 
water, in which to soak the brush a few mo-
ments before using, is all you need. To begin 
with, if your mouth should be very foul, use a 
little fine soap ; but the frequent use of the 
brush with clean water, will' render even soap 
unnecessary. 
Pica, thinking he had a chance, fired from born, and to woman his Gospel was not only a 
the top of the wagon, and the recoil knocked means of salvation, but a source of domestic and 
hire backward on the tent, which broke his fall. social elevation for the present life. 
It was a most ludicrous sight altogether. 
After that we were utterly defeated, the brutes. 
Birds of the Bible, 
were allowed to eat their meal unmolested, 
which they continued to do for some time, 
owling fiercely all the while. The Kaffirs 
said there were five in all. I fired once again, 
but without effect, and we all sat shivering with 
cold, without any clothes on, till near daybreak, 
when our enemies beat a retreat, and I was not 
sorry to turn in again between the blankets. I 
was just beginning to get warm again, when I 
was aroused by a double shot, and rushed out 
on hearing that the driver and after-rider had 
shot the lion. We went to the spot and found 
a fine lioness dead, with a bullet through the 
ribs from the after-rider; a good shot, as she 
was at least one hundred and fifty yards off. 
nother had entered tho neck, just behind the 
head, and travelled all along the spine nearly to 
the root of the tail. I claimed that shot, and 
forthwith proceeded to skin her. I cut out the 
ball ; it proved to be my shot out of Clifton's 
rifle ; this accounted for her ferocious onslaught. 
The after-rider was rather chop-fallen at having 
to give her up to the rightful owner. 
Diza got a claw in his thigh, and the gun 
which he had in his hand was frightfully scratched 
on the stock ; rather sharp practice. A strong 
nerved old Kaffir woman lay in the hut the 
whole time, without a door or anything whatever 
between her and the lions, and kept as still as a 
mouse all the while. 
I had the remains of the ox dragged to the 
best spot for getting a shot, if the lions should 
pay us another visit. They did not keep us 
waiting long. In less than an hour after dark 
they came, and immediately began their meal. 
The night was very dark, and we had nothing 
but their own growls to guide us in shooting. 
We three blazed away in succession for a long 
time. The ox was placed just in front of the 
wagon, about twenty-five yards off, but they 
dragged it away considerably further. Crafty 
must have had some narrow escapes, for she 
would not come in, but kept up an incessant 
row all the time ; and, encouraged by the firing, 
came to very close quarters with them several 
times. They charged her frequently and sav-
agely, but she showed great pluck. I saw one 
lion tolerably distinct once, and fired, when for 
the first time, he uttered a fierce roar and 
charged at the wagon. We had, however, a 
strong fence between the wagon and them, and 
when the lion lay down about seven yards off for 
a long time, I felt sure he was wounded. He 
made off soon afterward, and I turned in before 
they all took their departure. 
October 1. Went up to see our last night's 
work. It was evident that one or more had 
been severely wounded, but we endeavored in 
vain to trace them. I turned out with my two 
dogs and one Kaffir, Jacob. I was obliged to 
a 
offer him a reward of five shillings before he 
would consent to accompany me. We gave the 
dogs the wind, and hunted down the nearest 
kloof. I had not got four yards from the wagon 
when I saw that Hopeful winded something, but 
neither growled nor barked, in spite of all the 
encouragement I gave him. He was very near 
the kloof, and came away. At length I muster-
ed courage to go down, and, proceeding a short 
distance, saw an old lion dead at the bottom. 
A large bullet had gone right through his mid-
dle, and I was in high spirits at my success.—

THE SAVIOUR AND IIIS FRIENDS.—Our Lord, 
in the days of his flesh, encountered various 
classes of enemies, but none of these ever includ-
ed a woman. On the contrary, the gentler sex 
al ways appear to have been his followers or 
friends. Not only were they, as has often 
been said, the last at his cross and the first at 
his sepulchre, but throughout they ministered to 
his wants. A woman anointed him for his bu-
rial ; a heathen woman interceded for his life 
with her husband, Pilate ; women bewailed and 
lamented him as he went to Calvary ; to a wo-
man he first appeared when he rose again. All 
this was most fitting, since of a woman he was 
"His eyes are the eyes of doves by the rivers of 
water." 
Jeremiah speaks of the dove as a fierce and 
fighting bird—"The land is desolate because of 
the fiercenesss of the dove. Let us go to our 
own people to avoid the sword of the dove." 
This refers not the character of the dove, but to 
its likeness, painted on the army banners of the 
Jews. "Be ye harmless as doves," said the Sa-
vior to his disciples. 
There are several species of the dove ; the do-
mestic or tame dove, the wild dove, called the 
wild pigeon, and the trutle-dove. The last two 
are migratory. They leave us at the approach 
of winter's storms and cold, and fly away to 
warmer climes, and return at the approach of 
spring. 
Listen to the sacred poet's strain. "0, that 
I had wings H&c a dove, for then would I fly 
away and be at rest : I would hasten my escape 
from the windy storm and tempest." Again : 
"Lo, the winter is past, the time of the singing 
of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is 
heard in the land." 
The cooing of the dove is plaintive, and when 
it loses its mate, sits and mourns in solitude. 
Hezekiah says : "I did mourn as a dove." 
Isaiah represents sinners as saying, "We arc in 
desolate places ; we mourn sore like doves." 
We read in the New Testament, that, at the 
Saviour's baptism, "The Holy Ghost descended 
in bodily shape like a dove upon him." If a 
breach takes place between two doves, they soon 
become reconciled. 
"They let the present injury die, 
And long forget the past." 
Doves go in pairs; and when they have chosen 
mates they continue one through life. We read 
Solomon—"My love, my un,efiled, is but 
one." 
The dove is warmly attached to its home, and 
if carried away, even many miles, when set free 
it will soon return. On this account it has long 
been used to carry messages, which are fastened 
by a string to the neck of the bird. By this 
means victories were announced, and communica-
tion was carried on with besieged cities. It is 
said that doves laden with false intelligence led 
to the destruction of the city of Tyre. There is 
doubtless an allusion to the carrier dove in the 
following passage—"Curse not the king, and 
curse not the rich in thy bed-chamber ; for a 
bird of the air shall carry thy voice, and they 
which have wings shall tell the matter." 
"The dove let loose in eastern skies, 
Returning fondly home, 
Ne'er stoops to earth her wings, nor flies 
Where idle warblers roam. 
So grant tue, God, from every care 
And every passion free, 
Aloft through virtue's purer air, 
To hold my course to thee." 
keep your Teeth Clean, 
The almost universal complaint of decayed 
and decaying teeth among almost all classes, is 
indeed most deplorable. To know that our very 
bones should rot in our mouths in youth, and 
middle age, is, at least, a lameptable fact. Nor 
is this calamity confined to Americans; though 
it is said that American women more than any 
others, are unfortunate in this respect. But 
look in the mouth of the beef and plum-pudding-
eating Englishman, the sturdy oat-meal-eating 
Scotchman, the potato-eating Irishman, the saus-
age-eating, tobacco-smoking, and beer-drinking 
German, the frog-eating, coffee and wine-drink-
ing Frenchman ; all have occasion for the ser-
vices of a dentist. 
It is said that the teeth of our native Ameri-
can Indians, including the Esquimaux, who live 
beyond the reach of whiskey and tobacco ped-
dlers, are far better than those of their more 
civilized brethren. 
The native African is said to be blessed with 
sound teeth, but, so far as our studies and ob-
servations extend, most, if not all civi'ized na-
tions are "rotting in the mouth." 
The old "remedy" of chewing and smoking 
tobacco, only aggravates the evil, so say all den-
tists, while the almost universal practice of med-
icine taking, hot tea drinking, eating hot food, 
including the flesh of animals, probably has 
something to do with this early decay of human 
teeth. Then, again, most people neglect to 
cleanse their teeth. Living upon unnatural con- 
BY PAUL HART SWEETSER, ESQ. 
Every department of the Natural History used 
by sacred writers to illustrate and enforce the 
teachings of the Bible, must, of necessity, be 
deeply interesting to the devoted teacher of the 
Scriptures; and even to the negligent student, 
the birds of the Bible may sing an inspiring song. 
"On the Bible's holy pages, 
How each bird our heart engages! 
Every instinct has its teachings, 
Every habit has its preachings, 
Every plume reflects, some glory, 
Every song-note tells some story," 
The sacred writers make frequent reference 
to common and natural objects. We are sent 
to school to the ant that creeps ; to the beasts 
of the forests and the fields ; to the fowls of the 
air. And even the instincts of animals are of-
ten a safer guide than the teachings of human 
reason. 
"The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his 
master's crib." "The stork in the heaven know-
eth her appointed times, and the turtle and the 
crane and the swallow observe the time of their 
coming ; but my people know not the judgments 
of the Lord." 
" Reasoning at every step he treads, 
Man yet mistakes his way; 
While meaner things, which instinct leads, 
. Are rarely known to stray." 
Birds are divided, in the Scriptures, into clean 
and unclean. As a general rule, those were 
clean and fit for food that lived on grain and 
seeds; while those that live on carrion and flesh 
were rejected as unclean. The Jewish Rabbins 
believed, and we think, reasonably, that the 
quality of food exerted an influence on the tem-
penitent and character of those who partook of 
Of the twenty-seven sacred birds, the raven 
is the first named. "And he," Noah, "sent 
forth a raven, which went forth, to and fro, un-
til the waters were dried up from the earth." 
The raven was probably sent forth first on ac-
count of its sagacity and hardiness, and conse-
quent ability to provide for itself where other 
birds might perish. It very much resembles in 
character and appearance our common crow ; 
except that the raven is a larger bird. It has 
been called the ebony bird, from its black and 
shining plumage. Soloman says, speaking of 
his beloved, "His locks are bushy and black as 
a raven." It derives its name, in Hebrew, from 
its color—"Oreh, the evening." In English, 
from its natural habit, it being a ravenous bird. 
When it preys upon the dead, it always begins 
with the eyes. Hence the words of Solomon :— 
"The eye that mocketh at his father, and de-
spiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the 
valley shall pick it out." It is still a common 
expression in the East, in reference to one who 
is pursuing a wicked course—"Ala the crows 
shall one day pick out thy eyes !" • 
Elijah was fed by the ravens, and we are told 
to "consider the ravens," for "God feedeth 
them." 
The raven is very sagacious, and may be 
taught to speak like a human being. We have 
heard a crow speak as plainly as a parrot. Poe's 
celebrated and beautiful poem of "The Raven," 
which represents the bird as speaking, may con-
tain literal truth as well as admirable poetry. 
The dove is perhaps the most interesting Bi-
ble bird. It has been called "the sacred symbol 
of peace and purity and love." It is first men-
tioned in the account of the flood. After the 
raven, when the waters were abated, Noah sent 
it forth from the ark ; but the gentle bird, find-
ing no rest, returned. It is sent again, and re-
turns with an olive leaf in its mouth. It is a 
remarkably clean and beautiful bi d. To the 
beauty of her plumage the Psalmist alludes—
"Though ye have lien among pots, ye shall be 
as the wings of a dove, covered with silver, and 
her feathers with yellow gold," 
Dove's eyes are noticed in the Scriptures. 
To the church it is said, "Behold thou art fair—
thou hast dove's eyes." Of the Savior we read : 
it. 
"When birds of prey are by the Lord forbid, 
Methink there are in this wide lessons hid." 
Good Advice about Reading, 
Young people enter into society in America 
at an age when they are cooped up in schools 
in Europe. Do not waste your evenings in par-
ties of pleasure ; devote as much as possible to 
valuable reading. Read history regularly and 
attentively. As your time for reading will be 
limited, do not waste it on any reading but such 
as will go towards informing your mind and im-
proving your taste. Do not read for mere 
amusement. Do not seek to feed the imagina-
tion ; that will always extract food for itself out 
of the sternest studies. Do not read for the 
purpose of mere conversation, the popular work 
of the day, reviews, magazines, etc. Be con-
tent to appear ignorant of those topics, rather 
than read through fear of appearing ignorant. 
The literature of the day is always considered 
most piquant, the most immediately interest-
ing, but is generally transient ; it soon passes 
away, and leaves no general knowledge, no per-
manent topic in the mind. And then it is so 
copious ; if one yield his attention to contempo-
rary literature, he is overwhelmed with it. 
Make yourself, on the other hand, well acquaint-
ed with the valuable standard authors, which 
have stood the test of' time : they will always be 
in fashion ; and in becoming equally acquaint-
ed with them, you become intimately acquaint-
ed with the principles of knowledge and good 
taste. It is like studying the paintings and 
statues of old masters. Read such works as 
are connected with the moral and political his-
tory of England, for they are all full of applica-
tion to our own national character and history, 
and they tend to awaken calm and deep think-
ing, and to produce that enlarged and indepen-
dent mode of considering subjects that become 
a freeman.— Washington Irving. 
Quinine. 
Alexander the Great died of the common re-
mittent fever at Babylon, and Oliver Cromwell 
was carried off by ague. A few doses of quin-
ine would doubtless have saved their lives, and 
might have materially influenced the course of 
history. But when the great Macedonian ex-
pired, the medicinal virtues of the Peruvian

A Singular Spectacle in Battle. 
At the battle of Stone River, Tenn., while the 
men were lying behind a crest waiting, a brace 
of frantic wild turkeys, so paralyzed with fright 
that they were incapable of flying, ran between 
the lines and endeavored to hide among the men. 
But the frenzy among the turkeys was not so 
touching as the exquisite fright of the birds and 
rabbits. When the roar of battle rushed through 
the cedar thickets, flocks of little birds fluttered 
and circled above the field in a state of utter 
bewilderment, and scores of rabbits fled for pro-
tection to our men lying down in line on the left, 
nestling under their coats and creeping under 
their legs in a state of utter distraction. They 
hopped over the field like toads, and as perfect-
ly tamed by fright as household pets. Many 
officers witnessed it, remarking it as one of the 
most curious spectacles ever seen upon a battle-
field.

THE ADVENT HERALD 
a failure, in R. N's. sense of the word, of destroying 
the works of the devil, as if the whole race were 
lust ; although not to the same extent. 
But we think that the writer will see that his 
statement of the case is unjust to those from whom 
he professes to differ. For they do not, we do not, 
believe the race will ever be extinct ; but that it-
will be perpetuated eternally in the new earth or 
the everlasting fire. And he will also see that he 
has done equal injustice to the apostle who evident-
ly had no such thought in his mind, as R. N, im- 
putes to the text, 1 John 3 : 8 that commit- 
teth sin is of the devil ; for the devil sinneth from 
the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God 
was manifested, that he might destroy the works of 
the devil." 
This text and context shows clearly that John's 
meaning is that the Son of God was manifested to 
take away the sins of those who under this dispen-
sation believe in him. He admits that the devil 
has his children as well as God. And that there is 
a manifest difference between them. Ile does not 
intimate that he has the most distant reference to a 
future dispensation, when Christ will convert the 
whole race. We are persuaded that our author will 
see this clearly when once his attention is called to 
the passage in its connection. He will destroy sin, 
the works of the devil, and all who believe in and 
obey him here. 
No ; so far from believing that the race will be-
come extinct, we believe that all the race who have 
ever lived and died shall live again and exist forever ; 
and that all who live and believe in Christ at his 
glorious appearing, "shall never die." We believe 
that God will fulfill his ancient promises to Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob, and their seed, that they 
shall have the land wherein they were strangers, all 
the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession—
not a land somewhere else, but where they sojourned. 
If the resurrection saints are to dwell in an aerial 
city, while a mortal race, their servants, dwell on the 
earth, what sense is there in the 37th chapter of 
Ezekiel ?—"I will open your graves, -0 my people, 
and bring you up out of your graves, and bring you 
into the land of Israel." 
And again : "They shall dwell in the land which 
I have given unto Jacob, my servant, wherein your 
fathers (so long dead) have dwelt. And they (your 
fathers, now dead, and who shall come out of their 
graves) shall dwell therein, they and their children, 
and their children's children forever. And my serv• 
ant David shall be their prince forever." When 
Christ shall thus have swallowed up death, the.work 
of the devil, in victory, then will come to pass the 
saying, "0 death, where is thy sting? 0 Hades, 
where is thy victory?" It is not, therefore, after the 
thousand years are ended, and the human race in 
flesh are restored to Adam in perfection. that Christ's 
triumph shall be celebrated ; but at the resurrection 
of the just. But we will await R. N's. Scriptural ar-

reforms the life. "Rest not"—says an old writer, 
" in an historical knowledge of faith. It thou 
do, it will not sate thee ; for if' it would, it 
would save the devils; for they have their literal 
knowledge and general idea of the word. Dost 
thou think it enough to know and believe that 
Christ lived and died fur sinners? The devil and 
his angels know arid believe as much. Labor then 
to outstrip them, and to get a better faith than is 
in them " And observes Luther, "the life of Chris-
tianity consists in possessive pronouns." A signi-
ficant remark. It is one thing to say Christ is the 
Prince of Peace, and another' thing to say one is 
our Peace ;" one thing to say. He is a Savior, and 
another thing to say He is my Savior. A devil can 
say the first ; a child of God alone can say the second. 
Weekly Offerings. 
We again call the attention of our ministers and 
churches to the article in a previous issue, on this sub-
ject. The very existence of the churches in many 
places depends on some change of their mode of con-
ducting their finances. If it is not done they will 
become disheartened and give up all effort to sus-
tain the Gospel. Many of our ministers who 
would, if relieved of the burden and anxiety of ex-
hausted funds, that they might devote themselves 
wholly to study, prayer and pastoral visiting, be 
exceedingly useful, are now crushed with that bur-
den. But who shall begin the reform? It is un-
questionably the duty of the deacons to attend to 
this matter. And they should lose no time in set-
ting about it. And if they do not, and bring the 
matter before the church, then some other efficient 
member who has the cause at heart, should agitate 
the question till something is done. If no one else 
does it, the minister himself should do it. But it 
is not my place? True, in one sense it is not,• in 
another it is. Every thing which relates to the suc-
cess of the cause of Christ is your business ; and 
you should see that it is attended to. You are the 
adviser of the deacons and sh )uld freely counsel 
these remarks and argument. It reads much like With them even on matters of finance. Engaged as 
Universalism, the mode of argumentation of which, most deacons are in their own business affairs, they 
is, that if God fails to save the whole race, the devil are liable to let these matters drag ; when if they 
triumphs over him. So also in a similar strain rea- were occasionally reminded of the state of things by 
a little friendly counsel, they would set about their 
duty with renewed zeal. 
Every church needs to be indoctrinated in the 
duty of giving to support the Gospel. It is just as 
much the duty of those who profess to love the Gos-
pel to contribute for its support, as it is to contrib-
ute by toil and money for the temporal support of 
themselves and dependants. Spiritual food, cer-
tainly is no less important than temporal. This 
plan of weekly offerings, is one of the easiest and

ADVENT HERALD. 
BOSTON, TUESDAY, SEPT. 8, 1863, 
JOSIAH LITCH, EDITOR. 
The readers of the Herald are most earnestly besought 
to give it room in their prayers; that by means of it God 
may bo honored and his troth advanced ; also, that it 
may be conducted in faith and love, with sobriety of judg-
ment and discernment of the truth, in nothing carried 
away into error, or hasty speech, or sharp,unbrotherly 
disputation. 
Tile Outgoing and Incoming, Administrations. 
We continue our review of R. N. on "The Desti-
ny of our Earth and-Race." He says :— 
"The purpose of Christ's manifestation was, we 
are told, that "he might destroy the works of the 
devil." 1 John 3: 8. Now, the chief work of 
Satan was, corrupting and deteriorating our nature. 
He infused the virus of sin into the stock of our 
race ; and, however many individuals may be saved 
from among the descendants of Adam, it never can 
be said that the work of Satan is destroyed while 
that virus remains working in the race. But let 
that virus be purged out, let that race be cleansed 
and made pure, and then in literal truth it may he 
said that thus far, at least, the work of Satan is 
destroyed. But if you say the Gospel does not con-
template the securing of this result,—if you admit 
that it only designs the salvation of a chosen num-
but of individuals, taken out from successive gene-
rations—and if when this result is secured the race 
is to he cut off and become extinct—then it is clear 
that Satan will have accomplished a work that can 
never be destroyed. That extinct race will be an 
enduring monument of his triumph. He will have 
it to boast that he so far succeeded in his work as 
to bring Jehovah under the necessity of changing his 
purpose, of altering or modifying his original de-
sign. This is a thought nut for a moment to be in-
dulged. And, this being so, we are compelled to 
admit the idea of the restoration of the stuck of the 
race to a condition of purity. When this result is 
secured, and the race, made holy, is in the posses- 
sion of the restored earth, peopling it with succes-
sive generations of holy, happy beings, just as we 
must suppose would have been the case if sin had nev-
er entered the world, then we shall see that the reme-
dy introduced by the Gospel is a full and sufficient 
remedy. It will fairly meet and repair the ruin 
wrought by sin. It will bring the world and the 
race back to a position analogous to that they would 
have occupied if sin had never darkened fire world, 
and the curse had never made it "groan, being bur-
dened." Thus, the history of our race while under 
the power of sin, instead of being all the history 
contemplated for it, it is but a parenthetical inter-
ruption of its history. When this parenthesis is 
completed, the stream which sin had disturbed and 
poluted, with the disturbing element removed, will 
be brought back to its original channel, and flow 
on, through unmeasured ages, in peace, in purity 
and blessedness unspeakable. 
Thus far the destiny of our earth and race has 
been looked at from a single point of view—viz. 
that which is afforded by, the antecedant probability 
of the case. In subsequent articles it will be ex-
amined in the light of Scripture." 
We do not know precisely how to understand 
Tribute to the Braves 
A record of the death of Frederic Wm. Bosworth, 
Sergeant-Major of the 17th Maine Volunteers, son 
of Rev Dr. Bosworth, of Portland, has already been 
made in our columns, but a more extended notice 
of this young man may not be inappropriate. Early 
in the war he desired to enter the service of his 
country, but When reminded by his father that 
there were then enough mature men ready Ica go, 
and there would be other opportunities for him be-
fore the struggle was over, he cheerfully acquiesced. 
When the call came in July, 1802, for three hun-
dred thousand men, he again communicated to his 
father his willingness to enlist whenever he might 
think it best. The father could no longer take the 
responsibility of keeping him back, and he enlisted, 
August 2d, in Company A, 17th Regiment Maine 
Volunteers. His intelligence and ability, as well as 
proficiency in military science and drill, attracted 
the notice of his superiors, and he was soon appoint-
edsergeaat, and detailed to act on the regimental 
and then on the brigade staff. With the regiment, 
he was connected with the third corps of the army 
of the Potomac, and thrice marched over the deso-
late fields of Eastern Virginia, never being absent 
from the post of duty for a single day after entering 
the service. His letters ever breathed the spirit of 
true patfiotism and unreserved devotion to the cause 
he had espoused. his duties were incessant, yet he 
never expressed the wish to be released, never a 
doubt of the final triumph of the gallant army to 
which he belonged. Before the last campaign he 
was ,appointed sergeant-major, and marched lour 
hundred and thirty-five miles in forty days, before 
he fell. At the awful battle at Gettysburg he stood 
at the left of the column while the missiles of death 
flew thickly around him, indenting his tin cup 
hanging by his side. But he was, as he wrote, 
"too much engrossed in his duties to think of per-
sonal danger." He escaped then only to fitll on a 
field less renowned. In the sharp and decisive ac-
tion between the third corps and a portion of Lee's 
army, at Manassas Gap, July 23d, he was again 
under fire. His hour had now come, and a three-
inch shell passed through the femur, shattering the 
bone, and leaving a frightful wound. A week 
elapsed before he was placed in hospital, where he 
lived till the morning of the seventeenth day after 
he was wounded. A kind Providence permitted his 
father to reach him at the headquarters of the army, 
and to remain ministering to his comfort till the 
end. Till the last day his strength and fortitude 
were such as to excite hope that he might recover. 
But the shock was too great, and he sunk into the 
arms of death, another sacrifice upon our country's 
altar. Frederic William united with the Free 
Street church in Portland, July 4, 1858. During 
his connection with the army his letters indicated 
that his religious feelings and obligations were not 
forgotten. lie met the prospect of death with com-
posure, and many expressions of faith in Christ. 
Not one murmur, nor complaint, nor regret, nor 
expression of despondency, escaped his lips, though 
his physical suffering was great, and his earthly 
ambition was high. In the last hours of life he 
bravely endorsed the denotement of himself to his 
country, which was being consummated with his 
death. When asked by his father if regretted hav-
ing enlisted, he replied in a firm tone, "No, no, no! 
I knew I might be hit, and come to this ; but I 
have no regrets." He met the approach of death 
without surprise or fear, sent messages to his friends, 
expressed hope of soon joining the shining ones, and 
saw the bank of the dark river. He fell asleep on 
Sabbath morning, the 9th of August, just as the 
bright dawn was breaking, aged twenty years, six 
months and twenty five days. 
With thousands of others this noble youth has 
fallen, on the high places of the field, having will-
ingly offered themselves sacrifices for their country 
in the day of peril. Their memories are redolent of 
precious virtues and heroic deeds. Their privations. 
weary marches, bloody battles and early fall, are 
the price which is demanded for the emancipation 
of the enslaved, fur the purification of our national 
institutions and the permanency of our government. 
Because they die we shall live. Their memory is 
precious.— Watchman and Reflector. 
Faith, 
Devils are great sinners ; but there is one sin with 
which they are not chargeable. They are not charge-
able with infidelity ; for James 2 : 19, "They bee 
lies-e and tremble." Hence, those wbO deny the 
Divine authenticity of the Holy Scriptures, or the 
cardinal doctrines which it contains, have even less 
faith than devils, and in this particular are more 
guilty than they. Moreover, since devils are not 
saved by their belief, there evidently is a faith which 
is not saving. A faith of the head merely, is such 
CHARITY.—Though "charity begins at home," if 
it be true Christian charity it will not stay there, 
but will go abroad on errands of blessedness. The 
Apostle' Paul says, that "if any man provideth not 
for his own, and specially for those of his own house, 
he is worse than an infidel ;" and some one has 
said—Dean Swift, we think—that "he who does 
no more than this is about equal to an infidel." 
There is not much choice between them. The one 
is as :selfish as the other is unbelieving; and both 
come far short of their duty. We are to "do good-
unto all ,men as we have opportunity," and receive k 
the saying as true and faithful, that Christ Jesus 
came into the world to save sinners. This is the 
duty of man, and the duty of every man. 
Neatatow ESCAPE FROM DRoWNING.—The Woon-
socket Patriot relates that Miss Ellen A. Jenckes, 
of that town, who has been an invalid for some 
months, left her reoni on IV, dnesday night, during a 
Et of delirium, and jumped into a well 36 feet deep 
and containing six feet of water. On taking her 
out it was found that she sustained no other exter-
nal injuries than a slight scratch on the hands 
Her clothing prevented her from sinking.. 
sons R. N. Ile says, "If you admit that it (the 
Gospel) only designs the salvation of a chosen num-
ber of individuals taken out from successive genera-
tions :—and if when this result is secured the race 
is to be cut off and become extinct,—then it is clear 
that Satan will have accomplished a work that can 
never be destroyed." 
Now we ask what is this but a plea for Uuniver-
salism ? If it has any force at all, it must extend 
to the salvation of all who have lived, as well as to 
Memorial Stones. 
The practice of setting up a stone in memorial of mer-
cies received, is still common in the East. Mr. Morier 
thus describes what he witnessed in ascending the rock of 
Istakhar, in Persia: 
We ascended on the north-west side, winding 
round the foot of the rock, and making our way 
through narrow and intricate paths. I remarked 
that our old guide every here and there placed a 
stone in a conspicuous bit of rock, or two stones 
one upon another, at the same time uttering some 
words, which I learnt were a prayer for our safe re-
turn. This explained to me what I had frequently 
seen before in the East, and, particularly on a high 
road leading to a great town, whence the town is 
first seen, and where the Eastern traveller sets up 
his stone, accompanied by a devout exclamation, as 
if it were in token of his safe arrival. The action 
of our guide appears to illustrate the vow which Ja4 
cob made when he travelled to Padan aram, in to-
ken of which he placed a stone, and set it for a pil-
lar. A stone on the road placed in this position, 
or one stone upon another, implies that some trav-
eller has there made a vow or thanksgiving. Nothing 
is so natural in a journey over a dreary country as 
fur a solitary traveller to sit himself down fatigued, 
and to make the vow that Jacob did. "If God will 
be with me, and keep me in this way that I go, so 
that I roach my father's house in peace, then will I 
give so much in charity ;" or again, that on first 
seeing the place which he has toiled so long to reach, 
the traveller should sit down and make a thanks-
giving, in both cases setting up a stone as a memo-
rial. 
Abolition. of Slavery, 
There are abolitionists who are not Christians, 
who utterly disclaim the name, and who seem not 
to rely upon the aid of Christians in carrying their 
measures in behalf of freedom into effect. On the 
contrary, it would appear oltentithes from their un-
charitable remarks, that they regard Christians as 
their determined opponents in this good work. We 
say to suchethat, aside from the efforts of the church, 
the abolition of slavery will never occur. This 
"consummation devoutly to be wished," will be 
wrought if at all, not by deists, or sceptics, or by 
"men of the world who have their portion in this 
life," but by Christians, whose endeavors are "armed 
by faith and winged by prayer." When negro 
slavery was abolished in the British colonies, Au-
gust 1, 1834, a distinguished philanthropist and 
writer on the occasion said : "To God our thanks 
are especially due for this glorious event ; for it is 
not attributable either to patriots, politicians, or to 
poets, but to Christians in their character as such, 
and especially to the exertians of the missionaries of 
religion." And here as in the past, we avow is our 
hope for the future. It is in God, and the pro-
fessed friends of God. We have no faith in other 
agency. 
THE ADVEN r HERALD 
269 
Gen. Fremont has succeeded in adjusting all the 
difficulties surrounding the Mariposa grant, and has 
settled all his California business, which leaves him 
over a million and a half dollars worth of I roperty. 
The New York Herald says that some one hundred 
and fifty brokers in Wall Street, who two years ago 
were worth nothing, or less than nothing, are now 
worth each from $250,000 to $2,500,000, all from 
the expansion of the currency and the movement of 
stocks. 
A fatal accident occurred in Sandgate, Vt., re-
cently. Wilson Hurd, about 16 years of age, while 
assisting in loading hay, was hit upon the head just 
Over the right ear with a pitchfork, causing his 
death in about thirty hours. One tine penetrated 
the brain. 
BUSINESS DEPARTMENT. 
Summary of War News, 
Active movements still continue at Charleston; 
though the severe gale which prevailed for two or 
three days last week, caused the partial suspension 
of the operations of the navy. An officer who ar-
rived at New York Saturday, says that up to Sept. 
1st., none of our iron-clads had passed Fort Sumter ; 
nor could they, until the immense chains across the 
upper harbor were removed. He also says that af-
ter taking Fort Wagner, the iron clads have much 
to do, as the fortifications on James Island are very 
strong. Wagner is closely invested on the land side, 
and the garrison is said to be suffering severely for 
lack of water. The 24th Mass. made a gallant and 
successful charge upon the rebel 'rifle-pits near the 
fort. Lieut. Perkins and a number of men were 
killed and wounded. Deserters represent the peo-
ple of Charleston as anxious to surrender the city, 
but Beauregard is determined to dovote it to destruc-
tion. Gen. Gilmore and Admiral Dahlgreen both 
speak in a hopeful tone of an early success. The 
final results of the siege operations are expected 
within ten or fourteen days. 
The news from the army of the Potomac is unim-
portant. Guerrillas still infest the country between 
Waehington and Warrenton. Our troops have 
been actively engaged in capturing members of the 
.gang and preventing depredations ; but a deficiency 
of the cavalry hinders the effectual breaking up of 
these thieving operations. As hurt time ago, White's 
rebel cavalry crossed Goose Creek in a northerly di- 
rection, with a view, it is believed, of cutting the 
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, or of making a raid 
into Maryland. Not satisfied with robbing the 
boatmen on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal of 
horses, money, clothing, &ea the, rebel guerillas 
have notified the people along the line that they in- 
tend to cut off entirely the supply of coal from 
Washington. They declare that they will burn 
every boat that may hereafter fall into their hands. 
The navigation of the canal has been almost coin- 
pletely suspended. Georgetown is crowded with 
boats that dare not attempt to return to Cumber- 
land. Mosby, the guerilla chief, is lying at Cul- 
pepper at the point of death. The statement in the 
Richmond Enquirer that Lee's army had been en- 
tirely reclothed was false, only a few regiments, and 
those mostly from Georgia, had been clad anew, and 
all by private contributions. 
The news from the West continues to be of the 
most cheering character. Gen. Burnside telegraphs 
that he took Kingston, Tenn., on the 2d inst. There 
was but little serious opposition. All Eastern Ten-
nessee, excepting the Chattanooga region, is free. 
Everything is working splendidly The great ob-
stacles of this region—the Lookout Mountains—
will be surmounted in a day or two. The occupa-
tion of Kingston cuts off from Richmond all the 
South-west, except by a circuitous and very tedious 
route along the seacoast. That the rebels have given 
up this road, even for a day, without a desperate 
struggle, shows that they are much weakened by 
their recent losses. The rebels are in a desperate 
situation ; they have strength enough to strike but 
one more great blow, and they must strike that at 
once. It is highly probable that they are even now 
concentrating their forces in Virginia for this pur-
pose. 
An expedition is about to leave New Orleans for 
the Gulf. The destination which has been given out 
'is Mobile, though rebel sympathizers are quite sure 
the expedition is going to Texas. It is reported 
that some of the troops have already gone forward 
as the nucleus of the great army of occupation there. 
It is understood that the flower of Gen Grant's 
army, recently operating at Vicksburg, is or would 
he emharkked on this important expedition. But a 
few days will determine whether this movement is 
to he for the occupation of Mobile or for Texas. 
Gen. Banks is enforcing the draft in Louisiana, 
making no distinction between whites and blacks. 
It is said that there are now a dozen negro regiments 
organized, and a part of Banks' command. 
It is reported that important dispatches from Min-
ister Corwin relative to the establishment of an em-
pire under the French auspices in Mexico have been 
received at the State Department, Which will throw 
considerable light on the manner in which this mea-
sure was brought about. Speculation is rife as to 
the contents of these dispatches, but as yet no inti-
mation of their contents has been made public. 
.SUBSTITUTE FOR Lsaeuerte--The London. Times 
endorses the claims of an invention, which, accord-
ing to the description of the article, possesses every 
quality of the real leather, and is vastly superior to 
it on many accounts. It will not crack, is tougher, 
will wear longer, and will resist water as effectually 
as rubber. The leather cloth can be of any color, 
and a pair of boot tops which cost of call-skin $1 50, 
will cost of this material only 25 cents. 
EVENTS Or THE WEEK. 
Foreign News. 
European dates are to August 27th, The Cone 
federate frigate Atlanta had put into Brest for re-
pairs. The London Herald believes that the rumors 
concerning the arming of negroes by the South is 
premature. It is reported that Mr. Dayton, our 
Minister has received instructions to protest against 
the French proceedings in Mexico. 
A steamer, supposed to he the Florida, was seen 
passing down the Channel off Queenstown on the 
i23d of Augusts evidently in the track of American 
vessels. It is stated that Mr. Slidell had a long in-
terview with Drouyn De Lhuys on the 20th and 21st 
of. August, The Central Association, for the rec-
ognition of the • Confederate States, at Manchester, 
has issued a manifesto, strongly urging recognition 
and friendly mediation by European powers for the 
iatertet of all parties. The Times says there is 
no belief in the threat of the Washington govern-
ment against France in regard to Mexico. That the 
American protest will he feeble, and unattended by 
any threat, for the first really offensive threat 
against Napoleon would be the signal for the deliv-
erance of the Confederates. The Daily News says 
that not the least doubt can be entertained that 
Maximilian has aocepted the Mexican throne, and 
that a European loan has been proposed to start the 
new Government and pay the overdue liabilities. 
Garibaldi's health is perfectly restored.

Receipts for the Herald. 
Tke No. appended to each refine is that of t he HERALD to 
which tke money credited pays. No. 1127 was the closing 
number of 1862 ; No. 1153 is the Middle of the present 
volume, extending to July 1, 1863; and No 1179 Is to the 
close of 1862. Notice of any failure to give due credit 
should be at once COM municatiS to the Business Agent. 
Those sending money should remember that we have 
many subscribers of similar names, that there are towns or 
the same name in different States, and in some States there 
is more than one town of the same name. Therefore it is 
necessary to give his own name in full, and his Post-office 
address — the name of the town and state, and if out of 
New England, the county to which his paper is directed. 
An omission of some of these often, yes daily, gives us 
much perplexity. Some forget to give their State, and if 
out of New England their County, while some fail to give 
even their town. Sometimes they live in one town and 
date their letter in that, when their paper goes to another 
town; and sometimes the name of their town and office are 
different. Some, in writing, give only their initials, when 
there may he others at the same post-office, with the same 
initials. Sometimes, when the paper goes to a given ad-
dress, another person of the same family will write res-
pecting it,without stating that fact, and we cannot find the 
name. And sometimes those who write, forget even to sign 
their names ! Let all such remember that what we want, is 
the full name and post-office address of the one to whom the 
paper is sent. 
Those mailing, or sending money to the office by other 
,ersons, unless they have a receipt forwarded to them, are 
requested to see that they are properly credited below. And 
if they are not, within a reasonable time, to notify the office 
immediately. 
As a general thing, it is better for each person to write 
respecting, and to send money himself, for his own paper 
Men to send by a.ri agent, or any third person, unless such 
one is more likely to get his own name and post-otli,!.e right, 
than another person would be ; that money sent in small 
sums, is lees likely to be lest than when sent in larger ones, 
and that a third person is often subjected to postage,inerely 
so accommodate the one who sends. 
The receipts of the last wee.; will be noticed in our 
next issue. 
A. 11, Association. 
Tit " American Millennial Asisociation,"locatedin Bos-
ton, Masa, was legally organized Nov. 12th, 1858, under

Rev. 11 : 2 ; and the four great kingdoms, and the 
eternal kingdom to succeed the earthly. I had un-
usual freedom to-day, and set the truth before many 
minds in a way to convince and bring souse to 
Christ. In. the evening Sister Mansfield gave an 
eloquent sermon on the time of reward. There was 
breathless attention for an hour, of those who 
thronged the tent, within and without. Two per-
sons have offered themselves for baptism. And so 
the week closes up. But hundreds have been blessed. 
Our meetings for prayer have been unusually good. 
Scarcely one who has attended has left without a 
blessing. We retire to rest, and look for the Sale-
bath to dawn upon us in blessedness and rest, 
though it must be a day of care and labor to some 
of us, to preach and take care of the crowd. 
Sabbath, June 28th. The day has dawned upon 
us in beauty, and all is pleasant except the dust. 
A shower would have been very acceptable. But 
we cannot complain. We have the good Spirit and 
presence of God, and this is best of all. At six 
o'clock in the morning we went to the lake, about 
three miles from camp, and bapilzed two persons. • 
I almost imagined myself on the shore of "Tiberius" 
among the people that used to flock there, with 
Jesus and his disciples. But Jesus was with us 
here. We had his presence and blessing. 0, it 
was a glorious time. We have prepared seats for 
between 1500 and 2000 persons, within and about 
the tent, under the shade trees in the church-yard, 
and were ready for the multitude. By ten o'clock 
they filled up every available part of the ground. 
We opened one end of the tent and spoke to those 
within and without, to the number of about three 
thousand souls. I spoke an hour and a half on the 
preparation for the day of God, which consisted in 
every day practical living in peace with God and 
with man. The most of the audience were able to 
hear, and gave good attention to the word. In the 
afternoon Sister Mansfield addressed the crowd on 
the day of the Lord. She held them for an hour, 
with the best attention, and with a deep impression, 
on the events just before us, which are to usher in 
the great day of God. At the close I assisted Bro. 
Mansfield in breaking the loaf. A large company 
sat down and communed, in view of that other com-
munion when we shall sit down with Abraham, 
Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of God. Remarks 
were made by Brother Mansfield, myself and others, 
on our prospects as to the coming kingdom being 
nigh, and the duties and trials awaiting us till Jesus 
comes. We are all resolved anew to be faithful to 
the end. The scene was blessed. At the close of 
this meeting many took the parting hand and start-
ed for their homes. A goodly number were left, 
however, with the citizens, who made up a good au-
dience in the evening, to whom I spoke on the im-
portance of the immediate conversion of men to God. 
urged men with all my might to come now in this 
hour to Jesus and live. I trust the effort will not 
he lost. With this service we closed our most in-
teresting meeting. All praise to the Lord for his 
mercy and loving-kindness to his people in this re-
gion. 
The work of preparation and care of the meeting 
rested chiefly upon Elder Mansfield, as Chairman of 
the Committee ; and faithfully has he performed his 
work. He was pressed with care on every side, with 
some things to annoy him ; but God sustained him, 
and gave him both wisdom and grace to meet the 
exigencies of the occasion. God bless him and his 
faithful fellow-laborers in their work, 
At this meeting I met many old friends from the 
East, whose hearty greetings were mutually cheer-
ing. An Advent Conference was organized, which 
will be reported by another hand. The cause, I 
trust, is coming up in these parts. 
I enjoyed the hospitalities of Mr. Hubbard, an 
old citizen, but not a believer. I received from him 
and his family every kindness and attention. My 
prayer is, that the blessed God will bring them into 
his love, and prepare them for the kingdom.

CORRESPONDENCE. 
In this department , articles are solicited, on the general 
subject of the Advent, from friends of the Herald, over 
their own signatures, irrespective of the particular views 
which it defends. Views of correspondents not dissented 
from, are not necessarily to be considered as editorially 
endorsed. Correspondents are expected to avoid all per-
onalities,and to study Christian courtesy mall references 
to views and persons. Any departure from this should be 
regarded as disentitling the writer to any reply. Christian 
and gentlemanly discussion will be in order ; but not 
needless , unkind , or uncourteouscontroversy.

SECOND TOUR \VEST.—NO. VI. 
Camp Meeting in Southern Michigan and Northern 
Indiana, in Hamilton. 
Tuesday, June 23d. We got up the tent, and all 
arrangements were made for the first meeting at 5, 
P. M. We had a goodly company of the faithful 
to begin with. The opening discourse was from 
Deut. 33: 26-29—"Happy art thou, 0 Israel: 
who is like unto thee, 0 people saved by the Lord !" 
A saved and happy people, like Israel, standing on 
the borders of the promised land. From Pisgah's 
heights, we almost see that "goodly mountain and 
Lebanon." All rejoiced in hope. 
Wednesday, June 24th. Morning prayer-meet-
ing fully attended, and full of deep and solemn in-
terest. Preaching at 10, A. M., by Brother D. G. 
Clark, on the words of Jesus : "He that loveth me, 
will keep my commandments." We were all edi-
fied and interested. At 2, P. M., held another 
general prayer-meeting for one hour, in which many 
living and burning exhortations and prayers, with 
sweet songs of Zion were given. At 3, P. I11., the 
congregation attended a funeral in the Methodist 
Episcopal church, a little distance from our camp, 
of a lady, whose family requested Sister Mansfield 
to preach on the occasion. She spoke from 1 Th.ess. 
4: 14. It was an appropriate and edifying dis-
course. The parting scene of the family was very 
sad and agonizing. It made me feel the value of 
the promise, "There shall be no more death, neither 
sorrow, nor crying, for the former things are passed 
away." May the Lord hasten that day. Amen. 
In the evening, Elder Green, of South Bend, a 
"Disciple," preached. His subject was, the ques-
tion of the lawyer to Christ: "What shall I do to 
inherit eternal life?" There were many good things 
in the sermon, and the people were edified. Elder 
G. holds some views in common with Adventists, 
though he is not of them. 
We are having beautiful weather for our meeting ; 
and the place is almost a paradise. The tent is lo-
cated in the large yard of the new Advent chapel, 
in Terre Coupee, Ind., about eight miles from Bu-
chanan. Mich. It is often called Hamilton. There 
is a Methodist church here, which has been large 
and flourishing, but of late has been on the wane, 
in part from its opposition to the Advent faith. 
Elder Mansfield and his wife have preached here oc-
casionally, by the request of Mr. Hubbard, a pro-
fessed infidel, who opened his house for them. He 
is now dead, and his homestead has been turned in-
te a union chapel, and has been fitted up by the 
citizens in the best manner for regular meetings. 
In the beautiful yard of this church our tent is 
pitched, and the chapel house is fitted up as a large 
boarding and lodging house, with all conveniences. 
To this is added a large number of beautiful shade 
trees, with the clean, dry earth, dressed in living 
green. With these conveniences, we now have the 
love and good will of the community, and have the 
power to do them good ; and we are making the 
best use of it.

heaven and earth are new ! 
0 ! how all things will be changed ! how glori-

from being burnt at the stake by the timely death 
of Queen Mary and the accession of Elizabeth to the 
throne. Permit me to relate the sequel to this. 
Barber, who was a man of . position, had a jewel 
made in commemoration of this event, on which 
was inscribed, in brief, the particulars of his mi-
raculous deliverance. This jewel, with a portrait, 
beautifully painted on ivory, he devised to his 
daughter Elizabeth, to be by her transmitted to her 
posterity through the Elizabeths only of the family. 
Abu it ten years ago, at a village called Rayne, near 
Braintree, in Essex county, England, I saw this 
"Barber jewel," as it is now called, and portrait, 
also the part of the will relating to the matter, 
which was then in the hands of a maiden lady, named 
Elizabeth, the last direct dscendant of the Barber of 
Queen Mary's reign.

Seeing we Look for such Things. 
BY H. L. HASTINGS. 
"We look for"—something. Who does not look 
ahead ? Surely the men are few that can content-
edly sit down without turning one glance to the fu-
ture. Is it to them a scene of cloudless splendor ? 
they look forward. Or is it but a scene of starless 
night ? Still men will look forward. Men are 
prone to contemplation ; and what can furnish 
material for contemplation like the dim, shadowy 
unknown and impenetrable future? Men look—
but alas ! how often when they reach the looked 
for, longed for object—" 'tis gone." It seemed a 
substance—'twas a shade. 
It seemed a marble column, firm and high; 
was tut a fleecy cloud that swept the sky. 
Thus men are deceived. Still they run their 
ceaseless race, hurrying on to pluck the withered 
roses and the lasting thorns. Thus are men disap-
pointed, while they "look" for "earthly wealth," 
careless about "treasures in heaven ;"—for earthly 
glory, regardless of the eternal glory that awaits the 
saint ; for worldly honor forgetful of that which 
cometh from God only. And as they weep over 
blighted hopes, and curse their helpless lot, well 
for them would it be could they uncover their blind-
ed eyes and see, that "passing away is written on 
the world, and all the world contains." 
We look ; but not for things like these. 0, no ! 
we have chased earth's phantoms and flowers, till 
we can say ; All, all is vanity : and to it we would 
no longer be subject, for it we would no longer seek. 
Still we look ! How can we avoid it ? It is an ele-
ment of our being. We could not eradicate it. 
But while the principle of hope in the worldling's 
heart is twining around this world, with us it is 
not so ; our anchor has been heaved up from the 
muddy bed where once it dragged, and cast on bet-
ter anchorage ground, far within the veil. Our ca-
ble is not wet by the heaving billows ; not chafed 
by the sunken rock. It is far beyond their reach, 
twining around the pillars of Jehovah's throne. 
We look for things that God bath spoken of—
"things surpassing fable, and yet true,"—visions 
before whose brightness mortal eyes are blind—be-
fore whose glory all of earth is dimmed. "We 
look" beyond the biasing of every earthly hope, the 
ruin of every earthly treasure ; beyond the howl of 
the rich and the wail of the mighty ; beyond the 
passing heavens and the melting earth ; and lo! 
hat glories greet our joyful eyes ! From that con-

SUGGESTED BY. THE DEATH OF MISS LYDIA A. N. COLE. 
DEDICATED TO THE BEREAVED FRIENDS.

'T is a shining mark death loveth, 
'T is the d arest one he takes; 
In earth's sweet, melodious harp.notes, 
'1 is the sweetest chord he breaks. 
By his ruthless hand a sister 
From our hearts was quickly torn, 
One we fondly loved and cherished, 
And in sorrow now we mourn. 
But we know 't was by God's mandate; 
0, then, let us not repine; 
Heaven has gained another seriph—
Heaven, dear sister, will be thine! 
" Going home! Do not detain me! 
Christ hath robbed death of its sting, 
Of the grave its boasted victory: 
I shall soon His praises sing!" 
No one knew her but to loVe her; 
Like a star, her radiant light 
Beamed upon us, too soon setting 
In the silent 00041 of night. 
Night ? 0, no! sweet the assurance, 
It is only lost from view, 
In the brightness of His image, 
It will rise in Heaven anew. 
Wipe your falling tears, dear sisters, 
For yours is a blessed hope, 
When your mission here is ended, 
Christ bless'd hand to you shall ope 
Heavens bright portals; with what rapture 
Will you meet the dear ones there, 
With them ever to adore Him— 
With them endless jays to share. 
Mother list! her spirit hovering, 
O'er you whispers in your ear, 
"Jesus has prepared a mansion, 
I will wait to meet you there." 
May His love sustain and cheer you, 
Tie His hand presents the cup, 
With the gall He mingles sweetness, 
0 then cheerfully look up! 
Long, dear sister, shall we miss you, 
In the sacred place of prayer, 
Where tiny seat was never vacant, 
Where we learned Christ's love to share; 
In the Sabbath school, thy cheerful 
Face wp miss; the seed you've, sown, 
Christ himself shall water—jewels 
He shall garner for his own. 
"Sweet Home." 
"Our first, best country ever is at home ;" and 
when we are far therefrom, in a foreign land, sur-
r )unded with strange faces and strange scenes, any 
object which reminds us of home is tenderly cher-
ished by us. Hence that pleasing incident in the 
life of Dr. Carey. missionary to India. A quantity 
of English earth having been sent him in a bag, 
which he shook over a patch of ground in a shady 
place, and from that earth, a field daisy having un-
expectedly sprung, such as grew in the pastures of 
his native land, he was delighted with the humble 
flower, nursed it, and from year to year trained a 
succession of seedlings, that he might be reminded 
when he walked in his garden, of what he had loved 
and parted with in Old England. From this inter-
esting incident originated that charming little poem 
of Montgomery, entitled "The Daisy in India," 
commencing 
"Thrice welcome, little English flower."

From Emery Edes, a well-known merchant of Oxford, 
Main t. 
" I have sold large quantities of your SARSAPARILLA, 
but never yet one bottle which failed of the desired effect 
and full satisfaction to those who took it. As fast as our 
people try it, they agree there has been no medicine like 
It before in our community."

From Rev. llobt. Stratton, Bristol, Engtutat. 
" I only do my duty to you and the public, when I add 
my testimony to that you publish of the medicinal virtues 
of your SARSAPARILLA. My daughter, aged ten, had an 
afflicting humor in her ears, eyes, and hair for years, 
which we were unable to cure until we tried your SAR-
SAPARILLA. She has been well for some months." 
From Mrs. Jane E. Rice, a well-known and much-esteemed 
lady of Dennisville, Cape May Co., N. J. 
" My daughter has suffered for a year past with a scrof-
ulous eruption, which was very troublesome. Nothing 
afforded any relief until we tried your SARSAPARILLA, 
which soon completely cured her.' 
From Charles P. Gage, Esq., of the widely-known firm of 
Gage, Murray, §' Co., manufacturers of enamelled pa-
pers in Nashua, N. H. 
I had for several years a very troublesome humor in 
my face, which grew constantly worse until it disfigured 
my features and became an intolerable affliction. I tried 
almost everything a man could of both advice and medi-
cine, but without any relief whatever., until I took your 
SARSAPARILLA. immediately made my face worse, 
as you- told me it might for a time; but in a few weeks 
the new skin began to form under the blotches, and con-
tinued until my face is as smooth as anybody's, and I am 
without any symptoms of the disease that I know of. I 
enjoy perfect health, and without a doubt owe it to your 
SARSAPARILLA." 
Erysipelas—General Debility—Purify the Blood. 
From Dr. Robt. Sawin, Houston St., N. Y. 
DR. AYER: I seldom fail to remove Eruptions and 
Scrofulous Sores by the persevering
. 
 use of your SAR- 
SAPARILLA, and I have rust now cured an attack of 
Malignant Erysipelas with it. No alterative we possess 
equals the SARSAPARILLA you have supplied to the pro-
fession as well as to the people." 
From J. E. Johnston' 
 Esq., Wakatan, Ohio. 
"For twelve years I had the yellow Erysipelas on my 
right arm, during which time I tried all the celebrated 
physicians I could reach, and took hundreds of dollars' 
worth of medicines. The ulcers were so bad that the 
cords became visible, and the doctors decided that my 
arm must be amputated. I began taking your SARSA-
PARILLA. Took two bottles, and some of your PILLS. 
Together they have cured me. I am now as well and sound 
as anybody. Being in a public place, my case is known to 
everybody in this community, and excites the wonder of 
all." 
From Hon. Henry Monro, M. P. P. of Newcastle. C. TV., 
a leading member of the Canadian Parliament. 
"I have used your SARSAPARILLA in my family, for 
general debility, and for purifying the blood, with very 
beneficial results, and feel confidence in commending it 
to the afflicted." 
St. Anthony's Fire, Rose, Salt Rheum, Scald 
Head, Sore Eyes. 
From Harvey Sickler, Esq., the able editor of the Funk- 
, 
hannock Democrat, Pennsy:vania. 
"Our only child, about three years of age, was attacked 
by pimples on his forehead. They rapidly spread until 
they formed a loathsome and virulent sore, which cov-
ered his face, and actually, blinded his eyes fiat' some days. 
A skilful physician applied nitrate of silver and other rem-
edies. without any apparent effect. For fifteen days we 
guarded his hands, lest with them he should tear open the 
festering and corrupt wound which covered his whole 
face. Having tried every thing else we had any hope 
from, we began giving your SARSAPARILLA, and apply-
ing the iodide of potash lotion, as you direct. The sore 
began to heal when we had given the first bottle, and 
was well when we had finished• the second. The child's 
eyelashes, which had come out, grew again, and he is 
now as healthy and fair as any other. The whole neigh-
borhood predicted that the child must die." 
Syphilis and Mercurial Disease. 
.1 
From Dr. Hiram Sloat, of St. Louis, -Missouri. 
"I find your SARSAPARILLA a more effectual remedy 
for the secondary symptoms of Syphilis, and for syphilitic 
disease than any other we possess. The profession are in 
debted to you for some of the best medicines we have." 
From A. French, M. .D., an eminent physician of Law-
rence. Mass., who is a prominent member of the Legis • 
lature of Massachusetts. 
"DR. AVER—My dear Sir: I have found your SAR-
SAPARILLA an excellent remedy for Syphilis, both of the 
primary and secondary type, and effbctual in some cases 
that were too obstinate to yield to other remedies. I do 
not know what we can employ with more certainty of 
success, where a powerful alterative is required." 
Mr. Chas. S. Van Liew, of New Brunswick, N. J., had 
dreadful ulcers on his legs, caused by the abuse of mer-
cury, or mercurial disease, which grew more and more 
aggravated for years, in spite of every remedy or treat-
ment that could be applied, until the persevering use of 
AYER'S SARSAPARILLA relieved him. Few cases can be 
found more inveterate and distressing than this, and it 
took several dozen bottles to cure him. 
Leucorrhcea, Whites, Female Weakness, 
are generally produced by internal Scrofulous Ulceration, 
and are very often cured by the alterative effect of this 
SARSAPARILLA. Some cases require, however, in aid 
of the SARSAPARILLA, the skilful application of local 
remedies. 
From the well-known and widely-celebrated Dr. Jacob 
Morrill, of Cincinnati. 
"I have found your SARSAPARILLA an excellent alter-
ative in diseases of females. Many cases of irregularity, 
Leucorrhaea, Internal. Ulceration, and local debility, aris-
ing from the scrofuLais diathesis, have yielded to it, and 
there are few that do not, when its effect is properly 
aided by local treatment." 
A lady, unwilling to allow the publication of her name, 
writes: 
" My daughter and myself have been cured of a very 
debilitating Leucorrheea of long, standing, by two bottles 
of your SARSAPARILLA." 
Rheumatism Gout. Liver Complaint, Dyspep- 
sia Heart Disease Neuralgia, 
when caused by Scrofula in the system, are rapidly cured 
by this EST. SARSAPARILLA. 
AYER'S 
CATHARTIC PILLS 
possess so many advantages over the other purga-
tives in the market, and their superior virtues are so 
universally known, that we need not do more than 
to assure the public their quality is maintained equal 
to the best it ever has been and that they may be 
depended, on to do all that they have ever done.

"FILED MY LAMBS."—John21:15. 
BOSTON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1863. 
The kitchen Clock. 
The following little poem is from "Aunt. 
Effle's Rhymes." We know our young 
friends will like to read it, and perhaps 
they will like to remember it; for it teaches 
them to be steady, patient and obliging : 
Listen to the kitchen clock ! 
To itself it ever talks, 
From its place it never walks ; 
"Tick tock—tick took." 
• 
. Tell me what it says. 
iireoc'' "I' m a very patient clock, 
Never moved by hope or fear, 
Though I' ve stood for many a year ; 
Tick took—tick took." 
That is what it says. 
"I'm a very truthful clock, 
People say about the place, 
Truth is written on my face ; 
Tick tock—tick took." 
That is what it says. 
"I 'm a very active clock, 
tyg— For I go while you 're asleep, 
41. 
Though you never take a peep ; 
Tick took—tick took." 
That is what its says. 
"I'm a most obliging clock ; 
If you wish to hear me strike, 
You may do it when you like ; 
Tick tock—tick took." 
That is what it says. 
What a talkative old clock ! 
Let us see what it will do 
When the pointer reaches two 
"Ding, ding—tick toek." 
That is what it says. 
how to Kill an Enemy. 
"Children," said a kind father to his lit-
tle family, as he took a seat by the fire-
side, and gathered them round him for a 
pleasant talk, " which is the best way to 
kill an enemy ?" 
" Why, shoot him, to be sure," said one. 
"No, stab him," said a second. 
" No, starve him," said a third. 
"But 1 think," said their father, "I can 
show you a better way than this. An en-
emy may be killed without taking from 
him his life, or shedding a single drop of 
his blood. Let me tell you a story, to show 
how it may be done. 
There was a rnier once, who was a 
very cross, surly, disagreeable man. Ev-
erybody in the neighborhood knew him, 
and everybody disliked him. He was sure 
to make the most of whatever went wrong 
about him, and the poor offender always 
met with severe punishment. There was 
not a boy in all the neighborhood who did 
not feel uncomfortable as he passed his 
gate ; and the poor dog that barked at his 
geese, or the neighbor's rooster that crowed 
on his wall, was speedily visited with the 
lash of his whip, or the shot from his gun. 
The very cat knew his foot-steps, and 
slunk away from him in terror. He was 
a complete pest, as much so to himself as 
to those about him. Every day brought 
him some fresh trouble, and found him in 
continual ' hot water;' indeed, his very life 
was made up of broils. 
After a time, .good Farmer Green came 
to live near him, and, as you may suppose, 
he was soon told the character of his not 
over pleasant neighbor. 
' Well,' says he, ' if he shows off on me, 
1'11 very soon kill him !' 
This remark of Farmer Green's soon 
got afloat, and all sorts of things were said 
about it. He seemed the very last man to 
' kill' any one, for his looks, and words, 
and actions, all told of a loving heart 
which throbbed in his bosom and directed 
his life. Nobody could think for a mo-
ment of his becoming a murderer. Mr. 
ri1/4 
L.,._. 
Green's intentions at length came to the 
ears of the ill-natured farmer, and you 
may be sure he was not at all pleased 
about it. Everything he could do to tease, 
annoy, and even injure Mr. Green was 
done; but somehow or other, the man who 
was to kill ' this ugly tempered farmer, 
took it all in good part, and spoke as calm.-
ly, and looked as kindly as ever. 
One day Mrs. Green sent to the wife of 
our surly friend a basket of nice plums; 
but her husband wouldn't let her have 
them. He told the person who brought 
them, very gruffly, that it was only done 
to get some of his pears in return, and he 
wasn't going to give any of them away. 
At another time Mr. Green's team of 
oxen stuck fast in a bog, and when he 
asked his neighbor for a little help, he told 
him in a very rough way, that he had 
enough to do to mind his own business, 
and refused to help him. 
Never mind,' said Green, to some one 
standing by,`I'll kill him very soon, see 
if I don't.' 
Soon after this, the team of the ill-na-
tured man was in the same plight that his 
neighbor's had been in. Mr. Green saw 
it., He ran for his oxen and chains, and 
set off for the bog. He spoke kindly, of-
fered his help, and began to render it; but 
what did lie receive in reply? Why, a 
fierce look, and an angry word : I don't 
want your help! take your oxen away.' 
No,' said the other, I must help you, 
for the night is coming on, and what is 
bad enough by day, is ten times worse in 
the dark.' 
Away pulled the oxen and the men, and 
soon all was set right again. 
A strange feeling did that rough, cross 
man carry home with him that evening, 
something which he had never felt :before. 
And a strange look did his wife give him 
as he said, 'Peg, Farmer Green has killed 
me! he said he would, and he has done 
it. 
Yes, the enemy ' was killed' without 
the loss of a single life, or one drop of 
blood. He went in the morning to con-
fess his ingratitude to his kind neighbor, 
and to ask his forgiveness; and the very 
man who had been noted for nothing but 
his wickedness, became the friend of all." 
Anecdotes of Birds. 
There is much more intellect in birds 
than people suppose. An instance of that 
occurred in a slate quarry belonging to a 
friend, from whom I have the narrative. 
A thrush, not aware of the expansive 
properties of gunpowder, thought proper 
to build her nest on a ridge of the quarry, 
in the very centre of which they were con-
stantly blasting the rock. At first she was 
much discomposed by the fragments flying 
in all directions, but she would not quit 
her chosen locality. She soon observed 
that a bell rang whenever a train was 
about to be fired, and that, at the notice, 
the workmen retired to safe positions. In 
a few days, when she heard the bell, she 
quitted her exposed situation, and flew 
down to where the workmen sheltered 
themselves, dropping close to their feet. 
There she would remain until the explo-
sion had taken place, and then she return-
ed to her nest. The workmen observed 
this, and narrated it to their employers, 
and it was also told to visitors who came 
to view the quarry. The visitors natural-
ly expressed a wish to witness so curious 
a specimen of intellect ; but as the rock 
could not always be ready to be blasted 
when visitors came, the bell was rung in-
stead, and for a few times answered the 
same purpose. The thrush flew down 
clo;e to where they stood; but she per-
ceived that she was trifled with, and it in- 
Thou, God, Seest Me, 
A lady carne home from shopping one 
day, and was not met as usual by the glad 
welcome of her little son. He seemed shy 
of her, went into the yard, hung about the 
garden, and wanted to be more .with 
Bridget than usual. The mother could 
not account for his manner. 
When she was undressing him for bed, 
" Mother," he asked-, "can God-see through 
the crack in the Closet door?" 
"Yes," said his mother. 
" And can He see when it is all dark ?" 
" Yes," answered the mother, God can 
see every where, and in every place."

bowing his head on his Mother's lap, he 
burst out crying. 
Poor little boy ! all day lie had been 
wanting to hide from. his mother, just as 
Adam and Eve, after they had disobeyed 
God, tried to hide from his presence in the 
garden of Eden. Guilt made him afraid. 
It put a gulf between him and 'his mother. 
How did George get, rid of his feeling of 
guilt and shame ? He took the best, the 
only true way, by repenting and confessing 
it. His mother forgave him. He was 
restorefto her confidence 'and love. 
Just so must we do towards God. We 
must confess and repent of our sins, and 
pray God, for Christ's sake, to forgive us. 
Then we may taste the sweets of forgive-
ness, and be no longer afraid and far off 
from Him.

ARE YOU KIND TO YOUR MOTHER 7—Who 
guarded you in health, and comforted you 
when ill ? Who hung over your little bed 
when yOu were fretful, and put the cooling 
draught to your parched lips? Who 
taught you how to pray and gently helped es 
you to read? Who has borne with your 
faults, and been kind and patient with 
your childish ways? Who loves you still, 
and who contrives and works for you ev-
ery day you live? It is your mother—
your own dear mother. Now let me ask

A POOR EXCUSE BETTER THAN NONE.—The 
Sheikh Abdallah once sent to his neighbor, 
Hassan Alla'd Deen, to borrow a rope. 
" He cannot have it," replied Hassan. 
" I have taken the rope to tie up a meas-
ure of sand." 
" What t tie up sand with a rope?" 
replied Abdallah. 
Oh ! friend," retorted Hassan, "it is 
easy to find a reason for using a rope when 
one does riot wish to lend it." 
A CHILD'S DEFINITION.—One afternoon, 
just after school had been closed, and I 
was locking my desk, preparatory to going 
home, little Willie stole softly to my side, 
climbed up the desk, and putting his arms 
around my neck, kissed me. 
" I love oo, teacher," he said. 
"Does Willie know what love is?" I 
asked, inquiringly. 
" It's what makes us dood to folks," he 
replied at once.

terfered with her process of incubation; the 
consequence was, that afterwards, when 
the bell was rung, she would peep over the 
ledge to ascertain if the workmen did re.-
treat, and if they did not, she would remain 
where she was, probably saying to herself, 
"No, no, gentlemen ; I'm not to be roused 
off my eggs for your amusement." Some 
birds have a great deal of humor in them, 
particularly the raven. One that belonged 
to me was the most mischevous and amus-
ing creature I ever met with. He would 
get into the flower-garden, go to the beds 
where the gardener had sowed a great va-
riety of seeds, with sticks put in the ground 
with labels, and then he would amuse 
himself with pulling up every stick, and 
leaving them in heaps of ten or twelve on 
the path. This used to irritate the old 
gardener very much, who would drive 
him away. The raven knew that he 
ought not to do it, or he would not have 
done it. He would soon return to his mis,-
chief, and when the gardener again chased 
him, (the old man could not walk very 
fast,) the raven would jtAt keep clear of 
the rake or hoe in his hail dancing back 
before him, and, singing.as plain as a man 
could, " Tol de rol de rol ! tol de rol de 
rol !" with all kirids of mimicking gestures. 
The bird is alive now, and continues the 
same meritorious practice whenever he 
can find an opportunity.—illaryatt. 
Wild-Bee Mullins, in Australia, 
our common house flies, build their combs 
(composed of globular cells) in the hollows 
of trees. The black who is desirous of 
obtaining the honey, betakes himself to the 
side of some water-course, having provided 
himself with a slender stick. He has also the paper, and the " fool's cap and bells" 
a little piece of fine down, picked off the substituted.., These, in their turn, were 
leaves of a common plant, which he has 
previously twisted into a point at one end, 
and dipped into the sticky juice, obtained 
by breaking the stem of another weed. 
Thus armed, the native fills his mouth 
with water, and when he sees a bee light 
on the margin of the pool to drink, he dis-
charges the.mouthful of water over him in 
a fine shower, and thus by etting the 
wings of the bee, prevents its flight. He 
then allows it to crawl upon the stick, and 
when the wings are nearly dry, and the 
bee is preparing to fly away, he attaches 
the pointed end of the light tuft of down to 
the back of the' insect, by means of the 
sticky point. . This, by impeding the pro-
gress of its flight, and by rendering it more 
conspicuous, enables the savage to follow 
it to the hollow tree containing the comb. 
This honey is described as being of a pe-
culiarly limpid character, and of a very 
good quality; it frequently is to be found 
on the tables of the settlers in the interior, 
and used as an article of luxury by them. 
This honey is found in the- forests of the 
interior. Some has been seen' which had 
been procured :500 miles inward from Sid-

Foolscap. 
Doubtless all of our little readers know 
what "foolscap paper" is; but few prob-
ably know how it came to bear this singu-
lar cognomen. When Charles First found 
his revenues short, he granted certain 
privileges, with a view to recruit them, 
amounting to monopolies, and among these 
was the manufacture of paper, the exclu- 
The following mode is employed by the sive right of which was sold to certain par-
aborigines in obtaining the wild honey of ties, who grew rich and enriched the goV-
the stingless bees that are found. in some,ernment also, at the expense of those who 
parts of the interior of that continent. were obliged to use paper. At this time 
These bees, which are about the size of all English, paper bore in water marks the 
royal arms. The parliament under Crom-
well made jests of this law in every con-
ceivable manner ; and, under indignities to 
the memory of King Charles, it was order-
ed that the royal arms he removed from
