There is nothing important from the seat OF war
The allies were continuing their formidable
preparations" for an assault upon the Maiakofl
tower, and the Russians had renewed their night
sorties, which were as usual, vigorously rePui-
sed" Another secret expedition by the allies was
on foot, which rumor asserted to be designed To
act aoainst Odessa. As recent accounts state
that the Russians had strongly fortified that port,
il is probable that an attack upon 1t WILL meet
with earnest opposition.
Having got rid of Lord John Russell the Eng
lish Ministry had weathered the Parliamentary
storm. Roebuck's motion for a vote OF eensure
was defeated and Lord Palmerston is still the
Premier. Sir VIM Wordsworth was spoken OF as
the successor of Lord John Russell in the Colo
NAL Secretaryship. Denmark has refused to a
bolish the Sound Dues. The Russian govern,
ment makes renewed complaint of the violation o.
flag oil truce by some English armed boats: SPAN

the Papal Minister having demanded his pass

Hope on-Work on.

Work and hope. Tho the sky may be
darkened to-day with gloomy clouds, yet to-
morrow it may glitter with the brightness of
blessed promise. Tho you may receive only
a half loaf to-day, yet on the morrow the
baskets may be abundantly multiplied With
plenty. Work and Hope. Tho the present
pathway may be rough and thorny, yet it
may lead into pleasant retreats with green
moss and beautiful flowers to cheer. Despair
not. You may yet meet with a good Samar-
itan who will bind up your bruised limbs
with oil, AID share with you the sweet
crumbs he has gathered. Believe there are
yet "good Samaritans," though the world
has fallen into wicked ways. God careth for
the sparrows, and think We not he also careth
for you? He forsakes not the toiling worm,
neither is His hand withheld from the honest
child of earth and in the hour of deepest
affection He sendeth His Angel to comfort.
Be of good cheer, the sam sky bends over
you in the gloom of the storm that you have
looked up to with a kindling eye when il
glowed with the brightest blue. Work on

B5@ We notice in the last Warrenton
News, an article credited to the Richmond
Enquirer, in which it is alleged that Philip
5. White, the Temperance Lecturer, Sin one
of his recent addresses to the people of Mem
phis, gave it distinctly to be understood that
his mission, in his present ministrations, was
not confined to its ostensible object, but,
coupled with the great end of promoting tenn
perance, was a secret purpose, and by re-
mote illusions to the evils of foreign imni-
grafton and Catholicism, left it to be inferred
that he was an emissary of Know Nothing
ism. He said he had recently been in Vir-
ginia, and weuld soon return here to spend
the next two months in canvassipg the
State" &c.

of such a thing. To our mind. however. If $

Reflections

@SNASSVASA0s
When / look back upon the past, and the
memory of many sad changes rushes upon
me, | am almost ready to exclaim: where
are the real pleasures of this busy, busting
world From childhood to boyhood. and
from boyhood to manhood, we are looking
forward to some brighter and better day
but each successive change brings it's own
cares and troubles, and all seem to bring
nothing but disappointments and f~ruitless
regrets. Many have been the changes that
have taken place since the chilling winds of
March, a twelvemonth ago, bid us farewell.
This brief space has wrought many sad
changes. Many hearts, then light and buoy
ant with hope, have been crushed and sad
dened by sorrow and disappointment. Many,
of all ages and every rank, have gone from
this unfriendly world to try the realities of
a never ending eternity. The grey hairs Of
age have gone down to the grave. The
youth, buoyant with life and hope, has been
summoned to the tomb. The brightest hopes
and fondest anticipations of doting parents
have been blasted and withered by the hand of
death falling upon some object of promise.
Many O fond mother has been called upon to
resign her infant to its mother dust. In view
of these things our hearts should burn with
with gratitude, that we arc yet spared and
favored so far beyond our deserts How
many have sunk into a drunkard's grave in
this space How many mothers grey hairs
have been brought down in sorrow to the
grave, by the waywardness Of a SON How
many wives hearts have bled for a drunken
husband! At the recital Of all these things
the heart sickens and ~recoils and life Be.
comes almost wearied of itself, and signs to
be delivered from the trials and perpiexities
of this vain world. Yet there is a g" silver5
lining to every cloud" and a bright side t.
the darkest picture. While we contemplate
the dark side we are made to feel that al
the evils to which man is heir, is the legiti
mate result of his own wickedness and thi.
should lead US to estimate the great eontras
between the sinfulRess of offending man. anC
the Incompatible goodness of his offended
Maker. Our hearts should burst forth il
praises to Him, that while we have come s,
far short of any good, he remembers in mer
cy and showers tea thousands of blessing.
upon US daily. Many are more blessed witt
+ health and hope ; all through the goodness
, of God who rules and reigns in HEAVIER

The Evils of Intemperance.
BY BEATRICE,


Three or four years ago, there came among
us a young man of prepossessing appearance,
good education, and the possessor of natural
oratorical powers of a remarkable order
He soon won his way to the hearts of the
people, and many were the predictions of
eminent success concerning his future career.
Another year, and still he held the eRyied
reputation>he had first won.
At the Lyceum debate he was a regular
attendant, and often astounded older heads
with his sound logic and systematic style of
argument. At their exhibitions of ~elocution
he was ever at the head, and in composition
ne was unequalled.
Six months more, and a slight change va

church less regularly his earnings were
spent abroad, and often he was seen to raise
the intoxicating draught to his lips. Friends
warned him of his danger and plead with
him to break from the chains of mans worst
