A CHILD's FAITH--Visiting one of
the mission schools of Brooklyn, l was
introduced to a remarkable child. He
was brought into tho school from the
highways and hedges, and we have rea-
son TO hope that, young as he is, he has
been taught of God. One day he was
playing with powder, and putting his
mouth to the mstch to blow it. it explo.
ded, and the whole charge went into his
face and eyes. For some time he was
totally blind, and the physician gave
but little hope of recovery. But the
little sufferer was patient and calm, and
even hopeful; sitting through the dark
days meditating on what he had learned
at the mission Of Sabbath school, and
repeating passages of Scripture aud
many beautiful hymn.
One evening after the physician had
spoken discouragingly, and his parent,
as he perceived, was in deep distress, he
was absorbed on his knees in corner
Of the room in earnest prayer. His
voice, though subdued almost to whis-
pcr, was indicative Of intense feeling
His parents inquired what he had been
praying for. "Why," said he, "that
Jesus Christ would open my eyes. The
doctor says he can't, and SO thought
l would ask the Savior to do it for me-
Here was faith in the simplest FORM
1t was the faith of child; and his pray
or was heard. lie can see. What
Christian may not take lesson from
this rhildlikp cOnfidpDCe2

jeot. Therefore arc we obliged to refer
the whole matter to our old friends in
Hillsborough. Such an act, by them,
would be long remembered with pride
and gratitude, not only by our gentle
manly officers, but by the whole compa-
n.y. But we do not urge the matter,
friends, for we arc all making plenty Of
money The only thing about it is
that it is rather slow coming.
We have preaching regularly, every
Sabbath evening, in fne grove at one
end of our encampment. Service is well
attended, and the soldiers orderly; so
much so, that the minister on last Sab
bath spoke Of its being the most attrac-
tive congregation Of soldiers he had yet
spoken to, and he had been preaching
to them ever since the war began. I
noticed great many strong bearded
mon in tears.
With prayer for our country, we
close our letter from Camp Chase, the
home of four thousand Of our State
brave soldiers, who are ready to battle
for our country until she is cleared o.
every traitor within her borders.
Respectfully Yours,
SERGEANT.

INDIANS ON SECEssIoN.-Tho i'm.
portant Indian Nations located in the
States west Of the Mississippi, are said to
be divided between the North and the
South, the Creeks and Sominoles for
the Union, and the Choctaws and
Chickasaws for Secession. The latter
have seeded, and the Choctaws have
driven off Black Beaver, Delaware
Indian, who for several years has lived
among the Choctaws, because he was a
Yankee Indian" or in favor Of the
Union. He has returned to Lawrence,
Kansas, and since then the leading
tribes of that State, the Delawarcs,
Shawnees, Potawotomies, &C., have sent
delegates to a council got up principally
by John Ross, the Chief of the Choro-
koes, and a decided Union man. The
Council is to be held at Burnt Timbors,
on Canadian river.

A Good Story.

Editors, like other shrewd men, must
live with their eyes and ears open. A
good story is told Of one who started a
paper in a Western town. The town
was infested with gamblers, whose pres
ence was a source of annoyance to the
citizens, who told the editor If he did
not come out against them, they would
not patronize his paper. lie replied
that he would give them a "smasher'
next day. Sure enough, his next issue
coutaiued the. promised "smasher,' and
on the following morning the rcdoubta-
BILE editor, with scissors in hand, was
seated ia his sanctum, cutting out news,
when in walked large man with club
in his haud, aud demanded to know if
the editor was 10.
"No, sir" was the reply, che has step
ped out. Take a seat aud read the pa
pers; he will return ia a minute"
Down sat the indignant man of cards,
crossed his legs, with his club between
them, and commenced reading a paper.
In the meantime the editor quietly VAN
osed down stairs, and at the landing be-
low he met another excited man with a
cudgel in his hand, who asked him if
the editor was in.
Eyes, sir" was the prompt response,
"you will find him up stairs reading a
newspaper"
The latter on entering the room, with
a furious oath commenced a violent as
sault upon the former, which was resist
ed with equal ferooity. The fight was
continued until they had both rolled TO
the foot Of the stairs, and had pounded
each ether to their hearts content.

Sailing HAY.-This is a well estab-
lishod practice among farmers, and is
of use if the hay is not fully cured
when housed We prefer to have hay
well cured, without salt, and this can
always be done, now that we have hay
caps to guard against storms. Salt has
a preserving quality, but the hay may
be so green as to heat in spite of it, or
so much coarse salt may be used that
it will not all be dissolved. Fine salt
is better than coarse, as it can be more
equally distributed through the mass

The modest virgin, the prudent wife
or the careful matron, are much more
serviceable in life than the petticoatod
philosophers, clustering hcroines or
virago queens. She who makes her
husband happy, and reclaims him from

ladies described in romances, whose
sole occupation it is to murder man
kind with shafts from the quiver Of

it is his intention to place the portraits
of Washington and Lafayette, now in

drape the chair with a beautiful canopy

to relieve the hall of its former gloom

Dr. Hamilton, in his new work on
Military Surgery, in treating of the
subject of temperance in armies, men
tions the interesting fact that during
the Revolutionary war, the Fourth
Massachusetts Regiment lost, in three
years, by sickness, not more than five
or six mon. This was at time when
the troops we're not paid, and, conse-
quently, cut off from the luxury of
stimulants. Similar facts were noticed
during tho second war with Great
Britain, under precisely similar circum-
stances. We don't know, adds the
Boston Medical Journal when we have
met with a stronger argument for tenn
porance than this it cannot be too
diligently remembered at the present
time.
