THE DEAD SOLDIER.
FROM THE GERMAN OF LAvATER.
He sleepsl the hour of mortal pain
And warrior pride alike are past,
His blood is mingling with the rain,
His cheeks are whitening in the blast.
This morn there was bright hue there,
The flash of courage stern and high;
The steel has drained its current clear,
The storm has bleached its gallant dye.
This morn these icy hands were warm,
That lid, half shelving the glazed ball,
Was life-Thou chill and clay-faced form,
is this the one we lov'd This all !
Woman, away, and weep no more,
Can the dead give you love for love
Can the grave heart His course was Ger,
The spirit wing its way above.
wilt thou for dust and ashes weep!
Away thy husband lies not here -
Look to yon Heaven! If love is deep
On earth-'tis tenfold deeper there.

+" I'VE mill SeT'Ue the Lord"

Many heather writers are admired Tor
their sublimity with propriety do we
dwell on many surprising flights of chris
tian genius; but where else do we find the
simple majesty, which occurs SO ire
ouently in the oracles of life I" We will
serve the Lord" How uncommon, how
firm. how noble, how astonishing, this
resolution! Hos vastly important is the
service resolved on How great beyond
all conception is the object of this service
These are some of the last words Of
Joshua, the famous leader OF Israel, TO
the people when assembled at Shechem.
If'' says he, " it seem evil unto you TO
serve the Lord, choose we this day whom
We will serve, &c. but as for me and my
house nc mill serre the Lord"
We need not be ashamed to follow the
example of the captain-general of Israel.
We must serve him in the duties Of bis
worship. in the whole course of cur walk /;
and must not decline extraordinary duties
when called to them. But being natur-
ally unqualified, several things are requi-
site to fit us for the service. We must
give up our old masters, Satan, sin and
divers Iusts we must engage to own the
Anoilted for our Master we must have
hearts suited TO the werk. Add to avoid
deceiviug ourselves, let us consider the
qualifications which work must possess,
to claim the appellation of service done
to the Lord. 1t must be a thing COM
manded our motives must be that God
has thus commanded it; it must be done
10 the name of the Mediator in faith; in
the manner required; and at the proper
time. And we must have al equal re-
spect for all the commands of God and
there must be fixed will, and perma-
uent endeavor to comply with all.
We must engage in this service delib-
erately; not hesitatingly, but upon a
thorough knowledge of it We must en-
gage resolutely; considering the difficult
ties standing firm in the midst OF them ;
and feeling that they give no liberty to
quit the service, or slacken 10 it. We
must engage willingly. This excludes
constraint; and imports that the service
itself, while the consequences are not
thought Of, is agreeable.
Such service is suitable to the rational
nature, and the honor of God makes it
necessary. 1t is true we are justified by
faith alone and all our services will be
no part of the righteousness on account Of
which we shall be justified. Still this
service is necessary. 1t is commanded ;
it is the result and evidence of gracious
principles and it is instrumental 10
building up the believer in holiness and
usefulness.
as for. me-" The service of the
Lord begins at home. In the first place
We must deal impartially with our hearts.
We must first resolve ourselves. 6 And
ma house." The real christian will not
neglect his household. Family instruc-
ton, family worship, and family govern
ment, he will carefully maintain.
God will bless them. He and his house,
by serving the Lord together on earth
shall learn to tune the anthems of heaven

ware tribe of Indians. He lived about
fifty years ago, was a man of great sa-
gacity, and well known to many of the
inhabitants of Philadelphia.
He once observed to bis friend, that in
his conferences with the then Governor,
his words only came from the outside Of
his teeth and added, I" | will talk SO
too"
One evening he was sober, and sitting
by the fireside Of his friend. Both Of
them were silently looking at the fire, in
dulging their own reflections, and desir-
ing each others Improvement. At length
the silence was interrupted by the friend,
who said, C | will tell thee what have
