Keep Politics out OF the Pulpit
u,.rlro.. .fso n. 1859.

The twenty-fftb anniversary Of the set
item ent OF Rev. Nehemiah Adams, ID. b.
over the Essex Street Orthodox Congrega.
tional Church, in Boston, was celebrated on
the 2sth ult. with formal services. Hon.
Rafus Choate, who is member OF DR.. Ad-
ans church, made on the occasion a most
eloquent speech. We copy portion from
it as published in the Boston papers, and
commend it to our readers generally, but es-
pecially to our clerical readers in this city
And now, since | have mentioned this
subject, my friends, may ] be permitted,
without presumDg TO complain OF anybody,
or TO dictate to anybody, and still more
without assuming to myself 10 preach eonc,o
dd clerun, or to preach at all, may be per.
mitted, on behalf Of uninstructed and uDpro.
fessional laymen, TO say one single word to
serious clergymen on the duty Of rigorous
abstinence from politics, and from any ele-
ment which has been connected in any way,
with active party politics on the Lord day.
| need not say that have great deal too
much personal respect and love for that pro-
iession, in all its denominations, that too
perfectly appreciate the past and present
transcendent good they have done to their
country and 20 man, TO wish, even il ] had
il in my power. TO abate title ot the Just
respect that is due to them, or TO impair in
the least degree the just influence which they
have acquired and which they possess n
this community, still less to intrude into that
secret and elevated circle Of private judg-
nent which is every mans right. But
will say, | repeat, 10 behalf Of laymen once
more, that il is exactly because we love and
honor them. il Is exactly because We do
everything We eau, not merely 10 pay the
allotted salary. bat everywhere 10 perserve
10 them the influence which the selection Of
their field OF duty has entitlel them to ex.
act, that ! take the liberty, IN the presence
Of some Of them, TO say something. Permit
noe, then, 10 suggest. in the frat place, that
be who breaches on politics. or on an! topic
in the least degree connected With practical
party politics in the pulpit, lays himself un

laymen, that his motives are 90, entirely

MARTIAL MUSIC.

Give, Oh. give me martial music;
Blow thou not the sweet.tongued Flute,
At whose tones the shame faced echoes
Cry to Matsr--make US mute.
Oh, its tender notes unnerse one.
Blow thou not the silver Flute.
Give, oh give me martial music
Touch thou not the light Guitar.
Swept so oft by signing lover
In his floating gondola,
For il breathes but passions music;
Touch thou not the light Guitar.
Give, oh give me martial music
Wake thou not the Organs strain,
wooing me to join the Angels;
All me woong all in vain,
For earth : m lsson is unfinished,
Wake thou not the Organs strain.
Give, oh give me martial music
Strike thou not the holy Harp,
Whose clear cadence, mounteth upward
Like singing, soaring lark.
Harps are meant for stainless fingers,
Strike thou not the holy Harp.
Give, oh give me martial music
Pipe and Tabor would hear.
Fife and Bugle tones, love ye,
Thrill ye through my willing ear;
Martial music, earnest music,
Pour Jour song floods, for hear.
Give, oh give me martial music.
Life means struggle and not rest.
Action is the life OF seraphs,
So in action am blest,
Louder sound brave martial music;
Life means struggle and not rest.
Now from prowess OF the body,
Call thee TO fests Of soul.
Sound aloud the spirit tocsin,
Haste thee onward to the goal.
Martial music, martial music,
Play the triumph march Of soul.
