These Times.

These arc times of peculiar nationa. excite
mcnt, and none of us can tell what a day nay
bring forth. But we should not suffer the pres.
charge OF our respective duties as citizens and
Christians. 1t is right for us to cultivate the
spirit Of patriotism, and we shall not be likely
to prize too dearly our national Institutions
which cost the blood and treasures Of our fl-
theirs, or do too much to transmit them to pos
terity as the richest OF earthly legacies. But
amid these excitements and anxietcs for the in
terests Of the cuuntry, life should not be wasted
in mere emotion. At this time the country de-
mand5 that every person should do their duty.
If duty requires, checrIully grid on yonr armor
and face the enemies and traitors Of your coun-
try upon the field Of battle. Il not called into
actual service, Go your duty at home, by po-
sition Of unfinehing fidelity to the country, and
withhold no sacrifice which her interests Or
safety may demand. Every prolessed Christian
should be deeply solicitous to maintain expert
mental and practical Christianity. Ii is to be
regretted that often these national cxci,ements
arc snfered to Interfere with our spiritual inter
ests; but instead Of spiritual Indifference. there
should be increasing religious activity and de.
votion. Do not neglect the class room. the
prayer meeting, or any Of the appointed means
OF grace. One ground Of eur national hope is,
that we are not utterly torsaken OF Cod and he
has not forgotten to be gracious, but in answer
to prayer may bring lis safely through these
storms and perils that now surround US. This
country of ours has yet great mission to fulfil
connected with the trumphs of the Gospel, and
the advancement Of civil and religious liberty
among the nations of the earth.

A Soldiers Privilege,

1t is we'll known that Old Hickory was
equally popular in the army and among the
people at large. No man ever lived in this
country about whom SO many characteristic
anecdotes have been related by those who
were among his personal friends. Below We
give one OF these, which we do not remember
to have seen i'll print before:
Several years ago, an officer, who was one
of the most distinguished Of his grade in the
aolsioe Of the United States, on his way
home from dinner party on a certain occa-
sion, was attacked SO violently with vertigo
that he became Impressed with the idea that
the ground was rising up agains: him, and
that the fre-plugs were after him with hot
haste. Under these circumstances, he deter
mined to conceal himself in friendly gut
ter, and wait until the enemies bad d!sap-
peAred. In this condition be was found, aud,
OF course, one of the numerous troop of Of
fce-hunters was soon ready to communicate
to General Jackson, then President Of the
United States the fact that the gallant de-
fender of Fort - had been found drunk
in the street. The old man stood for a mo-
mcnt, rejecting, then, turning to his inform
ant, said Very bad conduct, sir in the
Colonel. But by the Eternal, he has done
fighting enough never to draw another sober
breath in his life.' Ever afterwards i! was

Of your Lungs is discased.' Another, who sup

Beccher's Church, Brook !yn, on Sunday, the
Rev. Mr.. Northrop. who preached il the abb
sence OF the pastor, in aIuding to the fact
that the young men of the church were en-
rolling their names, offered his services as
chaplain. He said that if time should
come when praying and preaching were out
of place, he was ready to step into the ranks
and do his share OF the fighting. His remarks
were loudly applauded.

A Game of Poker .

When the California gold mines were first
opened, dust was supposed to bo plenty in
the diggings, and we heard story of four
persons. on the American Fork seating them
selves to play game Of poker the ante, as
a substitute for money, being handful of
gold dust. They continued playing some time
without either side winning much. At
length, one of the party, who had good
hand, went a handful '' better"
:" | see that, and go pint better" cried
another, who also had a " strong" hand.
{" l see that" responded the first, "and 90
quart better" ....'s
We'll, see tAe,, ~u3 60 you gallon
bottcr,' responded the other. This rather
disconnected his adversary for moment, as
it diversified his pile;' but confident in the
superior strength Of his hand he collected
together all the gold dust he had left, and
putting it aside, coolly remarked to one Of
bis companions Here, Jim. watch my pile
till 60 out and dig enoayh TO caN him."
The final result of that game has uever
been reported.

The PJUCKY CoMaANDER OF FORT PlckENs.-
A letter from one of the officers of the Wy
andot says
Fort Pickens is a very strong bastioned fort.
and very advantagiousiy situated. The garrl-
son can rcpulse seventy times their numbers.
Lieut.. Slemmer is one Of tile kind of men that
would wrap himself up in the American flag,
and if necessary blow the whole thing 20 atoms.
He does not look like very extraordinary man
he is SO small and insignificant looking bu.
when he says he will do d thing, you may bet

man in my life that could equal him in ncoolness
Amidst all tke excitement, he looks a. uncon
cernel as if he had nothing in the world to
worry him.;
