THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Parts of the Message are undoubtedly well
written; but there are passages so imperfect
in style and constroc ton as to indicate that
it has been the work of several hands. The
topics discussed in the message are such as
we anticipated. 'rhe principal portion oft
is devoted to All exposition ofthe causes and
n vindication of the progress of the Mexican
war. Elabora fe as this exposition is, and
bearing as it does upon its face evidences of
the ingenuity of the Secretary of State, it will
neverthe) es fail to satisfy the country. Facts
are so dj st'srted as to give them an appear
ance whi Oh will not bear the test of investi-
gator, and differences drawn are so constrain-
ed and unreasonable that the popular mind
mu st readily detect their fallacy. In the just
praise bestowed by the President on the Off
GERS and soldiers of our gallant army, we cor
/ daily concur. ........7
1t will be seen by Mr. Folks own admis-
sions, that all that has been asserted by us in
regard TO the disgracefnl admission ofSan-
ia Anna into Mexico, is to the letter true

the following is the portion omitted:

we have suffered and patiently endured from

aggravation ofthem consists in the fact, that

The Sister.
Dec. 1915

There is scarcely anything as well calculated
to cheer the lonely hours of solitude-comfort
the heart amid the affections and trials of life
or give peace and Joy in the midst of disappoint-
mcnts, as the exercise and enjoyment of the af-
fections.
Riches may supply US with every luxury the
world misunderstanding all our aPpetltes and
desires land clothe and surround US in pomp
and with spIendor. Honor and fame may sound
our name in every hotel, and cause our praise
to be on every tongue; yet, if the heart cannot
lean on some loved object, or rely on the faith
fulness of another, happiness would be stranger,
aud peace would not dwell i'll the BOSOM
The intellect may be of the highest order, and
stored with all that worldly wisdom can teach;
yet, cold and dreary would be the feelings Of
that one who had no one to call into exercise
the warmer affections of our nature. Better
would it be, to be assured of true sincerity SYM
patty and love, than be the richest, most honor
ed, and learned of all men, yet be deprived Of
these enoyments; and if there is any one from
whom we have a right TO expect such an exer-
else Of the affections, it is sister, alas THAI
we often look for them in vain.
Why are so many homes dreaTy, and so many
fre-sides forsaken! Why so many taverns fire.
quented and 50 many theatres visited! Why so
many hopes blasted and so many hearts wlther-
ed even in early liiel We answer, because of
the absence of love and affection from the Fam
lily Circle, and on account of the sister not ex-
ercising that influence which it is her duty to
do for she ought always strive to make her
brother happy, and home attractive to HIM; and
this can never be done while she is constantly
herself seeking pleasure abroad, and while her
thoughts and affections are fixed only on the
mere fashions and follies of the day; and it is
rule which may always be depended on, that she
who does not perform well the duties of sister,
will be deficient also in the performance OF those
which deyolve on wife W. II. >.

R ELIGIOUS,
Sabbath in the Country

There is nothing that accords with our ideas
of true enjoyment more than the spending of a
quiet Sabbath in the country, during this pleas
ant season of the year, when the earth rejoces
in the beauty of her holiday attire. Nahant and
Nantasket are charming places to some, but a
sweet, shady spot in the country for us. There
is more melody to our mind in the music OF the
little warblers among the tree tops, than in the
incessant roll and roar of the ocean, dashing his
huge white waves upon the rocks and sand
We can behold the majesty Of nature, it is true,
by the sea side, but to get at its beauty we must
go to the country And the country never looks
50 beautiful as on the Sabbath day. Let us as
cend yonder hill that overlooks the village
surely it is no PROCLAMATION of the sacredness o
the hour
"God blames not him who tolls six days IN seven,
Where smoke and dust bedim tho golden day,
| If he delight, beneath the dome of Heaven,
To feel the winds and see the clouds at play,
| Or climb his hills amid their flowers to pray"
How calm and still it is! It seems hardl
possible that this is the same world we were u

If you wish to be happy and have peace in
the family, never reprove your husband IN COM
pany-even if that reproo6 be ever so slight
If he be irritated, speak not an angry word In
difference sometimes will produce unhappy con-
sequences. Always feel an interest in what
your husband undertakes, and If he Is perpleXed
or discouraged, assist him by your smiles an(
pleasant words. Ifthe wife was careful how sh'
conducts and speaks and looks, thousand hap
py hearths would cheer and brighten our exist
ence where now, there is nothing but clouds
gloom, sorrow, and discomfort. The wife abov
all others, should study to please her HUSBAND

1.-THE Long Range" Of the Gospel. "Warner's Long
Range" is a good deal spoken of nowadays, as
wonderful invention for killing enemies But let me
tell that Warner and all other geniuses of his cast,
that such inventions all a humbug. Such tactics
and tools all too shortsghted and short-bted tor
the work proposed. Enemies are as immortal as any
malignant spirits, and you might well hope to shoot
sin stone dead, as to shoot an enemy. There is but
one way given under heaven by which one can kill an
enemy; and that is by putting Goals of fire on his head
that does the business for him at once, Lie in wait
for him. and when you catch him in trouble faint from
hunger or thirst or shiverlng with cold spring upon
him like the good Samaritan, with your eyes, hands

drink, and warm him with clothing and words of kind
ness; and he is done for You have killed an enemy

yesterday; for all its hustle, animation, and strife
have given place to scene of perfect quiet and
calm repose. We do not hear the ring of the
backsmth's anvil, nor cheerful voices of the
village urchins, at their noisy and boisterous
play. Toll has thrown by the implements of its
craft, and the tradesman has ceased to banter
with his customer in the market place. The
very cattle seem to know that Sunday has come,
and the dogs are less inclined to worry and bark
than usual. And now the bell rings; parents
and children, dressed in their neatest and best,
are vending their way to the house of prayer.
And what blessed gift to US all is the recur-
renee of these enjoyments one day in seven.-
How often should VIC faint and fall by the way
side of life's Journey if we did not find here and
there along our toilsome way, these calm and
quiet resting places, where we may cease from
our toll, and start refreshed on our journey
Here is one ofMrs Eames' Sonnets, that breathes
spirit of devotion and gratitude.
SABBATH SONNET.
Blessings thousand fold be on this day
Regenerating gift from God to man,
A golden interval of time a ray
of light, that like the promised bow doth span
The changeful heaven of eanhs poor toing creatures
Whose daily life in hurryng cares is spent
Thanks that one day in seven, blessing reaches
Their Utmost hearts. The All-Benefcent
Cares for mans better nature, and has given
This Sabbath rest to lead his thoughts to heaven.
Myriads of thanks for this divnest gift
For this perpetualy recurring day
Wherein both rich and poor-b bond and free-can
lift
Their hopes above this fading world and pray.

From The Christian Register.
Prayer.

A child,
With full blue eyes, and softly clustering hair,-
An orphan, by the hiDtly-hearted world
Forgot,-one evening" in the dewy light
And calm sereneness of the blessed stars,
Knelt to her MAKER She had learned to pray,
Catching Deep holy whispers from the lips
Of her sweet mother; and while now she prayed,
Large tears of grief and bitter loneliness
Welled from the gushing fountain of her heart.
She prayed and, like some winged dream, her pruyt
Flew upward to the throne of GoD and He
Received it to his bosom and there came,
Mingled with starlight, a soft, inaudble
Response, that filled her soul with bamicst hope;
And, burdened with the excess of the new feeling,
She sobbed herself to sleep.
The morrow came,
With gilded dawn, and song of early Birds
And bubbling of the Joyous rivulet-
And with 1t also came an angel form
That wakened this Door child with tenderest kisses,
Took her from want and fearful loneliness,
And was mother to her
Then she prayed
With full heart of gratitude, so long
As on the earth she walked, and ever said,--
And taught her children thus t. say
Our Heavenly FATHER, blessed be Thy name!
