Neglect not the Bible.

1t is surprising to notice how this sacred Book
is neglected by sinful men. The votaries of
taste and fashion will spend their days and nights
porng over the morbid pages of sensual and tic-
titious narrative ; yet if their God were to ask
them if they had read the Book which he sent
them from Heaven, where would they look?-
How could they say that they had never read
the precious Book throughout? Wherever you
90, learn not of those. Take your Bible in your
hand make it the companion of your way. In
the thirsty desert of this world it will supply you
with water of Life in the darkness of doubt and
apprehension it will cast a CLEAN of Heaven over
your path a; in the struggle of temptation and the
hour of affection it will lift up the voice of warn
ing, encouragement, and comfort. Never let
the Bible be by you uuperused. 1t is the only
helm that can guide you through the ocean of
life, and bring you safely to the immortal shores.
1t is the only star that leads the wandering sea-
man by the rocks, and breakers, and fiery tenn
pests Of utter destruction, and points him away
to the heights of everlasting blessedness. The
Bible contains the only food that can satisfy the
hungerings of the soul it presents US with the
only laver in which we can wash ourselves white

Carry thing through. Don't leap and dal-
ly from one thing to another. No man ever
did anything in that way. You can't. Be
strong minded. Be hopeful, stern, and manly.
When once fairly in a work, don't give it up
Don't disgrace yourself by being on this to-day,
on that tomorrow, and on another next day
We don't care if you are the most active mortal
living we don't care if you labor day and night
in season and out, be sure the end Of your life
show nothing if you perpetnally change from OBJ,
ject. Fortune, fame position are never gained
but by piously, bravey sticking, growing, living
to thing till it is fairly accomplished.
In short you must carry thing through if
you would be anybody or anything. No mat
ter if it cost you the pleasure, the society, the
thousand pearly qualifications of life. No mat
ter for these. Stick to the thing and carry it
through. Believe you were made for the mat
ter, and that no one else can do it at all. Put
forth your whole energies. Stir, wake, electrify
and 60 forth to the task. Only once learn to
carrya thing through in all its completeness and
proportion, and you will become hero. You
will think better of YOURSELF Of course you
will. The world in its very heart admires the
stern, determined doer 1t sees in him its best
sight, its highest objects, its richest treasure
Drive right along, then, with whatever you un-
dertake. Consider yourself all sufficient (under
Providence to succeed You'll be successful.

AN INCIDENT OF THE REVOLUTION.

AN INCIDENT OF THE REVOLUTION.
In the year 1777, when Philadelphia was in
the possession of the British army, under COM
mand of Lord Howe, the situation of the Ameri-
cans who c, ,uld not follow their beloved comman-
der was truly distressing. Subject to the con-
Atinual assaults of cruel and oppressive foes COM
Rpelled to pay obedience to laws pred&ated on
the military power of naughty and ~yindictive
Sommander, it can be better imagined than de-
Inscribed. To obtain the COMMON necessaries Of
Fife, they had to walk distance of twenty miles,
Ind even this indulgence was not granted them
Until a pass was procured from Lord Howe, as
Guards were stationed across the route distance
of four miles from its commencement, forming
a complete barrier; beyond these, through the
: woods extending about two miles, were station
ed picket guards, thus rendering it almost an
impossibiGty to reach the station where prov-
sions were kept, without first having obtained a
pass
- The COMMANDMENTS Chief of the American

The Bible.
BY CHARLES SIMMONS.

Other books bespeak their own age. The
Bible was made for all ages. 1t makes every
thing of the Creator-other books everything
of the creation. The Bible reveals the hand and
counsel of God in all events-profane history
describes the designs and action of men. The
Bible has standard of righteousness which en-
braces the rights and interests of Col, and gives
them their infinite Importance. Other books
speak of the rights and wrongs of men. Pro-
fame history shows what men have been during
few years past centuries the Bible while it
overeaches in the past carries, us far into the
boundlcss future. Other books treat of human
relations and mutual obligations. The Bible re-
veas the relations and obligations of universal
being. The statue books Of men legislate for
times and places. The Bible legislates for the
intelligent creation during Immortality. Hu-
man authors describe the creation-the Bible
describes the infinite Creator. Uninspired au-
thors speculate upon truths before made known
and often upon delusive imaginations. The BIZ
BILE reveals truths before unknown, and other
wise unknowable. We cannot comprehend all
the advantages which God has over all human
authors,s MOI, all the exceencies of the Bible
over other books. But the following things are
obvious:
l. The Bible is distinguished for its exact and
universal truth. 1t is true to nature, true to
conscience, true to universal experience true to
facts Time and criticism only illustrate and
confirm its pages. Successive ages reveal moth
ing to modify the Bible representatives of hu.
man nature Passing events fulfil its prophe-
cies, but fail to impeach its allegations The
truths of the Bible have already exploded many
false systems of philosophy, of ethics and religion
The forming and formidable systems ofinfdel phi
losophy will yet fall before the predictions and
light Of the Bible. When God speaks he speaks
in view of all truths, past, present and future {;
which enables him to utter exact and universal
truth But all human authors are very limited
in vision, and their feelings are warped by preju-
dice.
2. The Bible is distinguished by the moral
purity of its precepts. They are founded on all
the relations, and mpartially respect all the
rights of being. They exactly harmonic with
common sense and conscience. Witness the
prccepts respecting love to man. Who can COLI
ceve better foundation for morality than our
saviour's golden rule-or for peace than his pre-
cepts respecting love to enemies? Who can
imagine higher standard of holiness, than the
precepts, ABE ye therefore perfect, even as your
Father which is in heaven perfect" "Wheth-
er, therefore, ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever We
do, do all to the glory of Cod" All the divine
precepts are according to godliness," and adap-
ted to make us "wise unto salvation" They
bear with equal weight against all errors and
sins, and in favour of truth and goodness. The
maxims of heather philosophy are selfish, mar
row, impure, and have no power over the con-
science, when compared with the precepts ofthe
Bible.

GRANDEUR AND BEAUTY.

Ass GRANDEUR AND BEAUTY.
5 Say some the worlds wilderness;
Its various paths a WEAKNESS,
However vide they part;
And does not the same feeling rest
A cherished, if silent guest
In many human heart?
The laborer at his daily toll
s The student DER his midnight oil
Nor less the son of wealth
And woman too, refined or rude,
es In circles or in solitude,
In sickness or in health
& All feel, with Scotia's bard forlorn,
y"I That man, poor man, was made to mourn:
But should we thus repne!
Should We not rather raise our eyes,
And see how all DER earth and skies
Grandeur and beauty shine!
{ Grandis. the towering mountain, bold, F
Whose summit snowy wreaths enfold,
& Or circling clouds conceal;
Z Beauty beams bright from lowlier hills,
I From groves and glades and sparkling rills,
= Where flowers their sweets reveal.
There's grandeur in the stormy sky,
Where thunders roll and Iightnings fly,
= Orwild totnadoes blows
Beauty when mid the azure clear,
(. Crescent and twnkling stars appear,
Smiling on all below.
Z There's grandeur in the ocean surge,
Where pillows, furious pillows urge
On the resounding shore;
Beauty-when peaceful flow the waves,
Soft signing from their coral caves;
And sweet their voice once more.
There's grandeur in mans noble form,
With his Creators image warm,
Where mind and soul We trace;
Beauty in her the being fair,
! Whose features the same impress bear
Revealed with softer grace.
Such is our world-oh say We ne'er,
There is no joy--no gladness here,
No glorious things to love;
But grateful own a liberal hand,
Has thrown the beautiful, the grand,
{. Around US apd above.
And will not man whose godlike mind

Fairest amid the fair,
Resolve his course shall worthy be,

AMERICAN CITIZENS IN GERMANY-The Ns

AMERICAN CITIZENS IN GERMANY.-Ihe7 Ma
tional Intellgencer says: ,stgss
"a complaint appeared in New York paper.
sometime ago, that the rights American citizens
in Germany were not taken care of and defended
as they ought to be at the Legation in Berlin
The article alluded to several cases, and amongst
Others quoted one from the Savannah Republican
that of Frederick Leopold, anaturalized citizen
and a resident of Charleston, in South Carolina.
1t is stated that Leopold had been held to seven
years service in the Hanoverian army. We un..
| derstood from an. authentic source that he was
promptly set at liberty from arrest, but upon
bail, on the interposition Of the American Lega-
ton at Berlin and the Hanoverian Government
has since relinquished all claim upon Leopold for
service in the Hanoverian army on the ground
that he had become citizen of the United States.
It turned out, however, in his case, as we further
learn, that a conviction had been recorded against
him in Hanover for the crime of desertion before
he became citizen of the United States, and Il
since he has returned, and voluntarily placed !
himself within it jurisdiction, the Government Is
disposed to hold him responsible to the extent of
extracting from him some pecuniary satisfaction.
"Another and later case of the like nature,
we are informed, has occurred in Hanover: and
the individual was promptly released from arrest,
on the interposition of Mr.. Barnard, our Minis
ter at Berlin, though the case had not BEEN.
disposed of finally. The name Of the individual
involved is Helms. .e S5zs
"When Mr.. Wheaton was Minister at Berlin
he refused absolutely to interfere in behalf of Ger
man naturalized citizens who voluntarily retur-
ned to their former country, and were seized up.
on as soldiers. He considered it as a settled
question that their "native domicil and national.
character revested," exactly as if they had never
emigrated. ;, 80 ssse r,
"Mr. Barnard we understood, has not follow
ed this precedent lie was not disposed to, ad- :
init the doctrine of Mr.. Wheaton, except where
the emigrant returned to the country ofhis birth,
to be domiciled there. It is quite possible he
would himself have so restricted it, though it,
seems to have larger application in the case he
had in hand. We understand that MIR. Barnard,
has cases with the Prussian Govsrnmentogow-
ING out of this claim on o,r naturalized citizens
for military service and for fines imposed on them,
for quasi desertion, and we learn that he has.
not yielded to these claims, and those who know
our Minister, and are willing to do him justice,
will not credit the imputation that the complaints
of our German fellowcitizens have been neglected
by him." +.

Samuel Before Eli

The young should read and study the history
of Samuel, with the greatest care and interests.
Do you ask me the reason It is this Samuel
is converted to God when little child. 1t is.
not unlikely, that he was born child of Gods
that he was sanctifed from the womb. When
Samuel was only about six years Of age, and
while ministering in Gods house, God revealed.
himself to him in a very wonderful manner.
When he laid himself down to sleep, he heard a;
voice saying to him, Samuel! He thought it
was the voice of Eli, and therefore ran to the.
bed where the aged priest Lay. 1He said Here.
am I, for thou caledst me- And be said, I:
called not; lie down again. And he went and
lay down." A second time the voice called, SAM
sel! Still he thought it was Eli who called;
upon him. He went to Eli second time. And
a third time the voice called, and third time
he went to Eli. The venerable priest told. him,
that if the voice called fourth time, he should
answer in the following words, "Speak, Lord
for thy servant heareth."', The voice. did Gala
fourth time, and repeated the name Of Samuel
tuice: "And the Lord came and stood and
called as the other times, Samuel Samuel.
Then Samuel answered, "Speak, Lord, thy SER
yant heareth."
Let us pause, and think of the extraordinary
honour conferred by the great Jehovah, on a child
ofsuch tender years. We do not read, in any
part of the holy Scriptures, Of God speaking in
this wonderful way to any so young as Samuel
A child of only six years conversing With God
as it were face to face! - s.
What did God communicate to this holy, hum )
Bile child? It was sad communication; it Aasss
sufficient to make the ears Of the children of Is.s
rael to tingle. It was revelation of Gods dis
pleasure with Eli and his wicked sons. 1t was
threatening from God, of the punishment about
to be inflicted on the sons of the venerable high
priest for their impurity, their sacrilege and their
avarice. After the vision, Samuel lay down on
his bed till the morning, and feared to show Eli /
the vision. 1t is not likely he shut his eyes in
Sleep Eli wondered that he. came not to his;
bedside 10 tell him the vision. After Samuelinss
the morning had opened the doors of the house,
of God, Eli called him, and asked him what the. !.
Lord had said to him. After much and earnest.
entreaty, Samuel, in mournful accents, told him Z
every whit. and hid nothing from him. Proba-4 Z
bly, the child wept while he made known the
vision; and, oh, how the heart of Ell beat in his
bosom, while he listened to the awfully affecting
tidilgs What solemn and impressive sight,
the aged priest bending down with age, and !
the young prophet proclaiming in his ears the
will of Heaven. Eli breathed submission: ut is
the Lord let him do what seemeth him good y
