accepted, and nearly 10000 are already in the
field. And this without any procamatio being
made by the Governor, he not deeming it necessa-
ry to do so, the troops offered themselves faster
than they could be provided for.

A Popular Mistake.

Many suppose that the labors OF the minis
ter inAict no great toll on the body or mind,
but may be performed by those who are too
indolent to labor. An exchange says:
There is no one thing in regard to which
greater misapprehensions prevail than in re'a-
ton to the pulpit labors of faithful minister
We can recollect the time when we had the
idea that the minister had quite an easy time
of it. We thought he was sort OF speaking
machine-that all that was necessary for him
to do, was to 90 into the pulpit and open his
mouth, and the words would flow out as a
matter Of urse,-that it was the design OF
colleges and theol illogical seminaries to make =, 1 {
preachers, and that when made they would be
able to get up before a congregation, and
throw off a sermon with the same facility,
and with as little forethought as mechanic
would accomplish piece of handicraft. This

is, doubtless, the general impression among
the masses, even of protesting Christians. 1t
is somewhat amusing, sometimes, to hear per-
sons expressing themselves in relation to this
matter. They will speak Of such and such
ministers as being able to preach without any
preparation.
We would take occasion here to remind our
readers who may have allowed themselves to
be deceived in regard to this matter, that no
man can preach to cdification without dlligcnt
and careful premeditation and study and
that those professed ministers Of the gospel
who seek to create the impression on the
minds of their hearers, that they arc ready at
any moment to preach sermon without hav-
ing made previous preparation, are either
grossly dccciving their hearers, OF should be
regarded as no better than clerical clerks.
We freely admit that there is great diver
sity of talent in this, as well as in all other
professions but no amount Of talent and no
gilt of utterance will supersede the necessity
of constant and diligent study on the part OF
a preacher. The word of God must be close
ly and sedulously investigated, if we would
exhibit the mind of the Spirit, and draw from
it those rich stores Of truth which it contains.
Now it takes time to do this, and much more
time than persons of inexperience with such
matters would suppose.
There is, perhaps, no profession in which
there is less opportunity to exhibit the fruits
of study in such a way as that they will be
seen and appreciated than that of the minis,
try. How often does the preacher spend
hours in the perusal Of critical works on the
precise import of a word in the original, or
the true grammatical construction of SEN
tence, and after he has asccrtained it, u SIN
gle sentence will perhaps exhibit the result of
all these protracted and laborious reaearchesa
All! Yes! hearers of the word little know
the mental toll which the thought that his
minister may be expressing, especially in the
way of exposition, may have occasioned him.
We have called attention TO this matter
not with view of eliciting sympathy In be-
half of the profession; but simply to let oul
readers know that the most incorrect ideas are
prevalent, especially among the less informed
classes of hearers, in relation to the amount
of labor which the duties of the pulpit re
ouire. We refer here not to physical, bu
mental labor. The former is sometimes ap
preciated when the latter is wholly overlook
ed. We have often heard persons expressing
sympathy in behalf of preachers, ia conse
quence of having had to stand so long an(
speak so much. Perhaps the preparation o
these discourscs produced, owing to the inhu
ence of the mind on the body, a far create
degree of physical exhaustion, than was caus
ed by the bodily exercise required In the de
! livery. The one, however, is seen, wherea
e the other is known ouly to the individual him

An Angel in Every House.

There is an angel in every house. No
matter how fallen tho inmates how deprcss-
ing their circumstances, there is an angel
there to pity and to cheer. 1t may be in the
presence of little child or it may be en-.
closed in STOPPING and wrnklcd body, tread
ing the downward path to the grave. Or,
perhaps, it is cheerful spirit looking upon
the ills Of life as so many steps toward heaven,
if only brayely overcome and mounted with
snless feet
We knew such an angel once and it was a
drunkard's child. On every side wherever
she moved she saw only misery and degrada-
ton, and yet the child did not fall. Her
father was brutal and her mother was dis
couraged, and her home thoroughly comfort
less. But she struggled along with angel
endurance, bearing with an almost sanity
patience, the inirmaties of him who gave her
existence and then hourly embittcred it.
Night after night, at the hours of ten, twelve
and even one, barefooted ranged, shawlless
and bonnetess, has she been to the den of the
drunkard, and gone staggering home with
her arm arouud her father. Many time
has her flesh been blue with the mark of his
hand when she has stepped in between her
helpless mother and violence. Many time
has she sat upon the cold curb-stonc with his
head in her lap; many time known how
bitter it was to cry for hunger when the
money that should have bought bread was
spent for rum.
And the patience that the angel wrought
with, made her young face sshine, so thai
thou gh never acknowled ged in the courts o
the world, in the kingdom OF heaven she was
waited for by assembled hosts OF spirits, and
the crown Of martyrdom ready, lay waiting
for her young brow.
And she was martyr. Her gentle spir.
it went up from the couch Of anguish an
guish brought on by sell-usage and neglect
And never till then did the father recognize
the angel in the child never till then did
his manhood arise from the dust of its dis
honor. From her humble grave he went
away to steep his resolves for the better II
bitter tears and he will tell you to-day
how the memory of her much-end during life
keeps him from the bowl how he goe;
sometimes and stands where her patient
hands have held him, while her cheeks Grim
soned at the sneers of those who scoft at thu
drunk ards child.
Search for the angels in your households
and cherish them while they are among you
1t may be that all unconsciously you frow'
upon them, when smile would lead you tt
knowledge Of their exceeding worth. The.
may be among the least cared for, most des
pissed but when they are gone with thel
Silent influence, then will you mourn for then
as for jewel of great worth.-Mrs. Den
nison.
