SCriptural View of Soldiers.

| 1t IS extremely remarkable and we'll
worthy OF our attention, that among all the
various characters we meet with in the
New Testament, there are few represented
in n moro amiable light, or spoken of in
stronger terms of apr prohaiion.- than those
of certain military men. 1t was Of a GEN.
turion, a military officer, whose servant
was cured of palsy by the author Of our
religion, that he said, have not found so
great faith; no, not in Israel. 1t was an
other centurion, who ut our Saviour's
cruciiixioD, gave that voluntarily, honest
and unprcjudiced testimony in his favor:
Truly this was the son of God. 1t was q
centurion who generously preserved the
life Of ST. Paul, when proposition was
made to destroy him after his ship-wreck
on the Island Of Meita. 1t was a centu-
rion to whom St. Peter was sent by the
express appointment of God, to make him
the first convert among the Gentiles; q
distinction of which he seemed in every
respect worthy, being, as we are told, o
just and devcut man, one that feared God
with oil his house, that gave much aims to
the people, and prayed to God alway.
When we see men, bred up in arms, re-.
peatedly spoken of in Scripture in sucl,
strong terms Of commentator as these, we
are authorized to conclude that the pro-
fession they are engaged in, is not, as some
mistaken Christians profess to think, an
unlawful one. On the contrary, it seems
to be studiously. placed by the sacred wri.
ters in favorable and honorable light; and
in this light it always has been, and al'
ways ought to be considered. He who pn;
dertakes an occupation Of great toll and

Women STRONGER THAN OxEN.-1t is
related of a .certian New England divine
who fourished not many years ago, and
whose matrimonial relations are supposed
not to have been of the most agreeable
kind. that one Sabbath morning, while
reading to his congregation the parable OF
the supper, in Luke XIV, in which occurs
this passage-"And another said, have
bought five yoke of oxen, and go to prove
them; pray thee have me excused; and
another said, l have married me wife,
and therefore cannot come,'-he suddenly
paused at the end of this verse, drew of
his spectacles, and looking around on his
hearers, said, with emphasis-"The fact is
my brethren, one woman can draw q mar
farther from the kingdom of heaven than
fue yoke Of oren" ~

IRELAND AGAIN

The following are extracts from letter from Ion
athan PIN, Secre tary of the Central Committee of
Friends, in Dublin dated 2Sth February, 1874 land
addressed to Jacob Harve:
81 had expected to have forwarded to thee some
copies of second number of extracts but twill
not be ready in time. l regret it, though it is not
of much moment.
1t would only show great and increasing difficult

cry class in society," and which our exertions and
the exertons OF many others laboring IN the same
field have been utterly unable to stem.
We have given assistance in more than - pla-
ces we have established soup kitchens, distributed
meal and rice, encouraged local committees with
grants of money; helped trustworthy individuals to
increased liberaty in private charity and what IS
the result OF our labors and of your iberaltya No
doubt they have been very useful.
The soup and the meal have kept many alive;
have strengthened many for the performance OF
their daily tasks have assisted the recovery OF the
sick; but they have been utterly inadequate as a
means of removing or even lessening the distress
and restitution which prevail.
The effects OF the potato crops which were at
first confined to the cottier OF the poor farmer,
are now making themselves felt throughout every
grade of society: extending from the half titled
fields of the west into the better cultivated counties
of Lenster; among the manufacturing population OF
Ulster, and the artisans and work people OF The
towns The poor cannot afford to buy clothes,
the small shopkeepers therefore, find their trade re-
duced tailors shoemakers, &c. who used to serve
the poor. cannot get employment; the wholesale
dealers and manufactures who supplied them are
equally affected.
The money value of our loss has been estimated
at 9l60O0,O0O and the inevitable course OF events
is distributing the amount amongst us by taking
a portion from each
Even those who get work, find their wages mad

up whole nights at the loom wasting their strength
in the endeavor to procure little more food.

Bury mytamished boy!
Oh! God! and doth sister land
With grim starvation die,
When thou has dealt with bounteous hand
To us full supply?
And doth our brother man endure
Wants desolating blight
Without one effort, warm and pure,
To stay the spoilers might?
And doth that mothers strange request
Claim no avaliug tear?
Hath sympathy no kind behes ST
Which thou art wont to hear?
Then open wide thy teeming hand
Till suffering hath fled,
And blessings OF a ransomed land
Shall rest upon thy head.
