ment his companions saw it, they became dshearten
cd, and began to give way The woman saw them
giving way, and all her spirit rose at once For
the momentshe forgot she was widow, and her
child an orphan, and liftiag the banner from the
ground, she placed it, all stained with her husbands
hfe-bood, in the hand Of her child, saying as she
did so, There, my boy, take the banner Your
father died bearing it aloft. Rear you it aIoft ike
him, and never let it go till like your father, you
fall upon the battlefield" The boy took the ban
ner, and though he knew but little CT the danger
to which the act exposed him, lifted it high above
his head. and stepping the centre of the bridge
the soldiers were trying to take, was seen by all
A joyful shout rose as the men saw the boy bear
ng the blood-stained banner; they rallied each
others hearts, returned to the attack, and soon
won the day.
Take the banner Of the cross, all stained with a
Saviours blood. Your fathers have lived to hold
1t high, and bear it on. They have done go in
many heathen land, in the midst of many hard
fought battle. But they have fallen, and are fall
ing ct their work. There is John Williams fall
en- on the shores Of Erromanga; there Morrison,
a Milne, and Lowrie, in the crowded land OF
China there Henry Martyr, on the burning
plains of Tartary and many more. As they fall,
the banner drops from their hand. Who will lift
it up and bear it high against the enemy Of God
and man? Children. will not you? Oh yes, /
know you will Here take the banner vow you
never viii forsake its cause, but bear it high. and
bear it on, until the shout is heard, Hallelujah
The kingdoms of the earth are the kingdoms Of
Sod and Christ, or you lie dead upon the battle

The Banner Of the Cross.

am no prophet, dear children, yet | can see by
the light of this precious Bible, that great and
glorious times are quickly coming in upon the
world A dark veil, it is true, hangs over the fu-
ture history of the world; but in this book the
spirit of prophecy seems to me to lift It's skirts,
and give us bright glimpses OF coming glory, and
coming glory now not far off,-glory that may
break on you as you reach your manhood. An
other thirty years, and who tell what openings
God may have made into this dark interior of Air-
ca into those black places of Asia, throughout
these heather islands, With steamers going to all
parts of the East, ready openings into hitherto un-
known lands, knowledge may be soon be running
to and fro in the earth, the nations soon waking
up, and the gospel finding an open door on every
hand. But if so, we shall want more men and
more means and as on you, dear boys, and glrls
these great things will come. / want you now 10

Car Etiquette.

The Syracuse Evening Chronicle tells the follow
ing good story.
1t is nowadays very common affair to see two
ladies (?) enter railroad car half an hour before
the time for the leaving of the train, throw the
back of one seat over so to sit vs-avis, lumber
the spare room with shawls, bundles and band
boxes-and then when the cars begin to be filled
up, take every precauton to prevent any one occu-
pying what should be vacant seats, and In many
instances compelling passengers to stand, when
snirit Of accommodation would allow them COM
Portable position. Such persons should be INFORM
ed by the conductor, that when they buy 'lche''
the purchase of the car is not included. 81

| Chocsaw language. They treat each other with
great respect Three preachers Of the gsopel were
members of the legislature-one Baptist, one
Methodist, and one Cumberland Presbyterian
! The latter was chosen Speaker of the Senate
The attention of the Legislature seemed to be di-
rected mainly to the educational interests of the
nation. A lecture was delivered almost every
! night by one of the members, on the subject of
national Improvements, and this was the topic of
conversation where they boarded
The Supreme Court was in session during the
sitting of the legislature The Judges were intel-
gent and presided with much dignity. Two ap-
peals of criminal cases came up from the district
courts but the decision of the Judges was sustain
ed and the criminals ordered to be shot. This
shows the high regard Of the nation, for the au-
thority Of law. 50 -1 s4aeH

LOCATION OF THE CHocrAws.
Their country lies west of Arkalsas, and is
nearly as large as the State of Tennessee. The
soil is not generally very rich, but sufficiently pro-
ductive to afford an ample reward for cultivation.
Cotton, and the various kinds of grain of our
western farms, are stable productions. The coun-
try Is well supplied with timber, large portion of
which is pine, that must at some future day be val
liable in the way of lumber. 7... III.
The title of those Indians to this country against
all the States in the Union is perfect And our
Government has solernnly bound itself to shield
them from State aggression. No over-grown popu-
lation ofOur people in the vicinity of these Indians
can ever be set up as pretext for demanding their
country Nor win it be needed to lay open any
navigable stream or important road, there being
no trade on their Western or northwestern border
which our Government win be likely to want. Nor
is there any place beyond them fitted for their resi-
dence. If driven from their present country, they
must go out upon the prairies and die-a destiny
into which cannot believe our Government will
ever feel disposed to press them. 1 therefore re-
gard the Choctaws permanent in their present
country. Consequently no Missionary Board need
fear those disasters that have heretofore attended
their operations among Indians produced by con
slant change of location. .-

Senator from Kentucky, volunteered his
services in the, defence of MAT. WARD, the
murderer. The disgraceful and dishonora'
bic part he took in that affair, aroused the
Indignation Of the people of his State to
such an extent that, like the Murderers, he
was compelled 10 leave the Stale. Mr..

there attended the sitting Of Medical Con-
%vcniion, during which a parliamentary
question arose. One member suggested

to decide, he having had much experience
in parliamentary matters. The moment
the motion was made, a spontaneous hiss
from all parts Of the room followed, and
