REVIVAL. AT SEA.

Intelligence has been received at SatenB0S the most interesting religious awakening 0O board vessel belonging to that port. We have seen a letter from one of the crew tO his father, his only living parent, written au sea, which states that every one of the crew had become subjects of converting graee.- We have been permitted to make an extract from the letter, which will be read with de- light by all who pray for the. sailor. The writer states that at the time of his writing they were in expectation of soon speaking Q hoMewarc bound vessel, and that all hands were writing to their dear parents, to com. municate to them the precious intelligence of their new birth. The happy sailor says:
 "We did not know what to make of it, when one day ono of our crew, an old sinner, came down into the torecastle and said, ''ship. mates, one and all, want to have you join with me in prayer to God" Astonished aS we were, we all knelt down beforeour chests while he prayed. O that prayer-it struck hard upon all our minds, and from that time all of us have given ourselves up to God.- Now we are all joined hand in hand to Christ, and believe this is the happiest vessel on the ocean. We have had meetings in the cabin every Sunday, prayer meetings in the forccaslle every evening between 5 and o'clock, and inquiry meetings twice week, so that every one has . chance of telling his thoughts and feelings. We had u solemn meeting last night. It would have surprised you, could you have seen into our foVcasle. to have heard one and another telling what God had done fol ,Asirs souls, and singing psalms, and whole crew kneeling together in prayer. It is new life to us. Our cap- tain and officers are all religious men, and all things go on so easy, without swearing, grumbling, or noise of any kind. o whata happy crew. We pray earnestly for the conversion of our brothers and sisters md all our friends a. home. Tell them all to turn and believe in Christ" -a.t-.
 The captain ofthis vessel is one with whom many of our missionaries have crossed the ocean, and the chief mate, we understand, iS the son of late clergy man of New Hamp. shire, his mother having been an cInineBtly pious woman. whose memoir is now before the public. We have heard of several other interesting conversions which have recently ocurred at sea, on board of vessels belonging to Salem. In one instance sailors mind became deeply impressed by the perusal ofa letter which faithful wite had deposited in his chest and the result was lat not only he but several of his ship males found peace and joy in believing Boston Recorder:

THE BUNKER HILL MONUMENT.
 The Cornerstone of the Monument was laid in 1925 by LAFAYETTE ; and DANIEL WEBSTER pronounced on that occasion one of the most eloquent and admired OratiOns that ever fell from the lips of man. Among his auditors he had about thirty survivors of of the Battle of Bunker Hill-the "vcnera- ble men " whom he addressed with such sublime and startling effect. Of these. few still remain-Dut their deccndants. and the offspring of their brave compatriots who went before them to their eternal home, will throng to the holy ground by thou sands, and present there. 9s on high and holy altar, their offerings-hallowed by the sacred memories, and Gesecrated, it is to be hoped, by no partizan stains. by the intru- sion of no local, sectional or party bitter ness. sa..t.' .3...
 The Monument stands upon the summit, where the small Iedoubt was thrown up by the Americans on the night of June 18th, 1775. Previous to it's erection, the ground was distinguished by small col umn in honor of WARREN, who fell upon the spot, erected in 1794 by lodge of Free Masons--W Warren, at the time of his glori. ous death, being the Grand Master of the Free Masons of North America. Subscrip- tions were first asked for the present. Mon- utnent in 1924. An Association called . The Bunker Hill Monument Associations was formed, membership of which was to be enjoyed by those Who subscribed five dollars. An engraved diploma was their certificate, and their uaTEleS were Inscribed upou the parchment records deposited with in the cosDer stone. The corner stone was laid. June l7th, 1925. but the work was not resumed until March, 1877. |

THE OLD SOLDIERS STORY.
BY AN EYE WITNE,

a few days since | stopped at the public
house in Corainc, and while my horse was
feeding, | sat down in the bar-room, and
heard sensible old man relate the substance
Of the enclosed account.
"During the revolutionary war, there was
point of land on Jersey side of the Hudson.
and not far distant from New York, which
was the scene Of bloody conflict. There
were about three hundred acres next to the
river, from which the wood and timber had
been cleared of: and at tho back of this
was forest. On the cleared point IA large
number of fat cattle, destined 10 supply the
American army, were placed. Four or five
miles distant, in New Jersey, there were
three thousand ligh. infantry, under COM
mand of Lafayette. was one of that de-
talchment. Our business was TO see that
the cattle were not taken by the enemy
One morning intelligence was brought into
camp, that several vessels approached and
that large body Of British soldiers were
landing. My regiment was ordered imme-
diately for the point. Rufus Putnam, a
nephew of old General, was Colonel, and he
was well stocked with the Putnam me,,Ie.-.
lie was brave officer indeed. could new
er discern that he was not just as cool and
self possessed when going into battle, as when
sitting in his tent. We made a hurried
march, and upon approaching the edge OF
the woods, the Colonel ordered the adju,ant
to 90 forward aud see where the troops were
and what their number. The Adjutan, soon
returned, and reported they were forming on
