" God Helps the Heavy BattaliOnS !"
BY REV. JrHN s. C. ABBOTT

just b. fore Napoleon headed his ar.
my for The invasion Of Russia. some one
| remarked to- one Of his veteran Ge, erals,
that God would never lend his blessings
10 such an enterprise. The war>wOrn
soldier replied, 81 have always observed
that God always helps the heavy battal

With this sentiment inspi' ing his mind
Napoleon assembled his hosts on the fair
banks of the Niemen. Ii was the most
brilliant spectacle of military pomp and
power, probably, ever witnessed on earth.
Five hundred thousand men, glnlerEg.
with the most formidable engin"ry OF
war, we're marshalled before their very
passport TO victory itself. As battalion
after battalion, in their solid strength,
made the very earth seem TO tremble be-
meath their tread, Napoleon felt, and
all Europe felt with him, that there was
no earthly power which could stay his
victories. The armies of Alexander are
assembled 10 resist the invaders, but at
every point they are met and routed by
the emperor OF Europe and tho Russian
army though contending for tho protects
ion of their own homes, invariably fee,
after scene of awful slaughter, before
the heavy battalions of their foe. At
every rivers side, aud at every mountain
pass. the discounted troops OF Aiexans
der make stand to repel the invading
| army but it is all in vain the terau
warriors Of the south NOW them down,
and ride impetuou>ly over them. as they
march un,mpeded on their way from VIC
tory to victory. In the course OF few
weeks the domes and palaces Of Moscow
were seen gliliering in the rays OF the
setting sun, and The soldiers with shouts
of EMULATION rushed forward to "reVel
in the halls" of the MuscoVites. The
heavy battaIions of the invaders had tri-
umphed, and all the capital OF the en-
pire was in their hands. But the end
was not yet.
Napoleon, intoxicated with power
stands upon the balcony of the KremIin
gazing upon the resplendenl spectacle
before him. II is the dead Of night. Al

CHARITY.

The sacred volume exhortS us to Charity.
How carefully then should we cherish this
kindly feeling, this spark from the fountain
oflife, that it may beam forth undimmed

day when all will stand in need of mercy

true charity no, it is to be understood in
iarywider sense it is forbearing to join

charity which pleads for the wretched and

the balm ofconsolation into the laceraled

We are liable to err. Let us make the
situation of the suffering penitent our own.
Where are the friends we had fondIy fans

GEOLOGICAL WONDERS NEAR
RICHMOND. VA,

A Richmond paper of late date states
that some twenty or thirty feet below the
level of the plain around Richmond occurs
one of the most remarkable deposites in this
or in any country. The place in which it
is most fully developed, is where the small
brook al the east end and on the north side
of Clay street empties into Shockoe Creek
On the bank of that brook will be seen a
stratum 10 TO Is feet thick, which most
persons would call white clay. But Pro-
fessor w. B. Rogers, the State Geclogist,
has ascerlained that il is made up almost
entirely ofthe skeletons of .4n'maicate or
hfusorio-that is, microscopic animals. =
These skeletons, consisting of slick, are in
credibly small. so that each cubic inch of
this infusorial earth contains many thou
sand millions of,hem How inconceivably
numerous therefore must they be, to form a
deposit at least ten feet thick, and extend
ing many miles over the adjoining coun-
try!
1t has excited great interest among the
learned naturalists of Europe, as we'll as of
our own county, and henceforth none of
them will visit Richmond without search
ing at once for this deposit. Professor
Ehrenherg of Prussia, the most eminent of
living microscopes, has examined speci-
mems from this place, and discovered at
least 100 species of these minutest of ami
mails in them. To discover them in this
almost impalpable dust requires powerful
microscope and doubtless, therefore. many
who look at specimens with the naked eye,
will be very incredulons as to these state
ments. But they are considered as estab
lished facts by the scientific world.

Hymn for Harvest.


Father, to thee let nations raise
A harvest-hymn of grateful praise;
Thou ar, our God, and let thy name
Be glorious with immortal fame.
Encircled with thy hosts on high,
In thy bright home far DER the sky;
Thou still dost not forget to bless
The meek with plenty and with peace.
Rejoicing on the clear blue sky,
The sun fulhls his destiny;
And blessing still with beunties fee,
Is guided and upheld by thee
The clouds-that pour the precious rain,
Like gems, on hill and vale, and plain
These are the dust which round thy feet
In sunlit rolling volumes meet,
The whirlwind is thy winged car,
Its mighty breath is heard ATARI
1t passes-and the oaks bow down,
And trembling wave leafy crown.
The corn whose early blade was seen,
Upon the Hill in tender green;
By sun and ain, thy favors kind
Shakes like a forest in the wind.
Our hands are strengths by thy might
Our hearts ale glad-'lis in thy light;
Father. unto thy holy name,
Be tribute of immortal fame. J. L. w.
