WASHINGTON, August -, 1867
HON. HORACE GREELEY:
DEAR STR: 7 have Just read yours OF the
%9fh. addressed to myself through the New
York Tribune. IF there be in it any state
ynents. or assumptions Of fact, which | may
know to be erroneous, 7 do ROT now and here
controvert them If there be in 1t any lnter-
enoeS which may believe to be falsely drawn,
I DO not now and here argue against them. 1t
there be perceptible in it an impatient and die
tatorial tone, waive it in Difference to an Old
friend whose heart have always supposed to
be right
AS to the policy I ''seem to be pursuing, >
as you say, have not meant to leave any one
in doubt
I would save the Union would save it
yhe shortest way under the Constitution The
sooner the national authority can be restored
the nearer the Union will be ''the Union as it
was.'' IF there be those who would not save
the Union unless they could at the same time
save slavery, | do not agree with them If
there be tho,e who would not save the Union
unless they could at the same time destroy
slavery, I do not agree with them. Ny para
mount object in this struggle is to save the
Union, ana is not either to save or to destroy
slavery. IF [ could save the Union without
freeing any slave I would do it, and if [ could
safe it by freeing all the slaves would Do it;
and if could save it by freeing some and leav
ing others alone, I would also do that. What
+ do about slavery and the colored race, | do
because 7 believe it helps to save this Union;
and what torbear, forbear because | do not
believe it would help to save the Union. !
shall do less whenever | shall believe what |
am doing hurts the cause, and / shall do more
whenever [ shall believe doing more will help
The cause. T shall try to correct error; when
shown to be errors; and [ shall adopt new
views 50 fast as they shall appear to be true
views
I have her, stated my purpose according to
my view Of official duty; and intend no modi-

all men everywhere could be free.

In a neat little cottage, some distance removed
From the noise of the worlds busy ways,
Dwet poor, aged woodman, who early and late,
Night be heard he toed fr the bread which he ate,
Singing song, of thanksgiving and praise.
"IIow is it, my friend, that you never repine
But seem always content with your lot,
While Others, much gayer and weahie' far,
Their enjoyment OF pleasure and happiness mar,
BY striving for more than they've gOtl"
at is thus, he reped: - taught in my youth,
When l launched forth on lfe's stormy sea,
II wished to DO happy, conten; d. aud wife,
I must pray the Lord of the earth aud the skies,
And he would my counsellor be.
"Tsen sought him, aud found him, and oft has he
proved,
In tempaton's dark hour my friend
O soon he viii lind m. on C4nian's bright shore,
Where l shall be with him, to praise and adore,
In that glorious world without enl."
Dear Children resolve that from hencfrth your feet
In prayer to his fotstool shall goi
Let the days of your youth in his service be spent
Though your sins be as scarlet, turn now and repent
And he will his blessing bestow.

Now is the Accepted Time.

Dear ChI3rea-I must tell you about
two little boys that | knew, aud you will
understand what mean by now is the ac-
cepted time" Oae of them heard, while
yet a little child, that the Lord Jesus came
into the world and died on the cross to save
sinners, and that he kindly invited young
children to his arms; but he would not 90
to that kind Saviour; be thought it would
he time enough when he was older, and so
kept heapipg up sin upon sin, intending
after while to be sorry for them all He
grew to be a man; he became a still great
er sinner; kept forgetting God and disobey-
ing his Law, still thinking, no doubt, that by
and by ne would repent of sin, believe in
Christ and be saved. But suddenly he was
taken sick; fever burned his body and
clouded his mind; for four days he raved
and screamed and cried; and sometimes
strong men had to hold him down, to keep
him from hurting himself or others. At
last he became very weak, and one morning
his senses came back to him again, and ne
found that he must die. Frightened, he
cried, Lord, have mercy" but soon sank
into a stupor, and knew nothing more till
he walked in another world Possibly God
may have heard his feeble cry for mercy,
but would you be willing to risk it2 Wonid
you risk dying such death If not, turn
to the Saviour now, and let your whole life
be such, that if you should be taken as sud
denly away, your rarents and friends might
have reason to think of you as having Joined
the wbite-robed throng around the throne
of God above.
Another little boy unlike the one of whom
You just learned, listened to the call of the
Saviour, when be said MY son, give me
thine heart" and answered with his whole
soul, Here Lord, give myself away, tits
all that can do" He loved that Saviour;
he longed to gee others love him too, and
while still almost child, he began to preach
the gospel. Studying to know more of
Christ, and laboring to lead his fellow sin
ners to him, he went busily and happily on
for few short years, looking forward to an
eternity of rest. But the rest came sooner

Hospital Colportage.

The Rev. DR.. Ryland, of the Baptist church,
in a recent report of his labors among our
sick and wounded soldiers, says:
The result OF my labors | must leave to
the final day to disclose. Many cases Of
deep and thrilling interest have come under
my observation. Some were fervent disci-
pies Of Jesus, who, during the war, having
maintained their integrity, gave me a cor
dial welcome to their bedside. Others were
rejoicing in recent hope of eternal life
And many others exhibited marked anxiety
about their salvation, and received with
docile spirit every suggestion made for their
benefit. cannot begin to parlicularise.
Suffice it to say, that since the battle Of
Seven Pines, [ have conversed with proba-
bly, fce hundred, who, having passed through
the recent bloody scenes either unhurt or
wounded, have told me, with different de-
grees Of emphasis, that they had resolved
to lead better life. They ascribed their
delverance to the special providence of God,
and felt obliged to requite Him with love
aud obedience. | shall be disappointed if
very many soldiers do-not- fellowship
With tae churches OF Christ Immediately
after Gheir return home. Let pastors look
out for them. All these battles, with their
hair breadth escapes, and their terrible suf-
ferings, have produced softened state of
mind which harmonizes well with our efforts
to eyangelize."

SELECTIONS.
Tho Art of Silence.

The art of silence, if it be not one of
the fne, is certainly one of the useful arts.
1t is an art attained by few. How seldom
do we meet with man who speaks only
when he ought to speak, and says only
what he ought TO say
Iha1 tae Bible erjoins It's attainment is
most manifest. 1t commands US to make
a door and bar for the mouth. 1t de-
clares that if a man bridleth not his
tongue, his religion is vain.
The attainment of this art will enable
US to avoid saying foolish things. We Of
ten speak without reflection, and of conse.
quence foolish thoughts, or expressions des-
titute of thought are uttered. Possessed
of the art of silence, we shall not spenk
that which ought not to be spoken.
Again, it will enable us to avoid saying
hurtful things. Since We are placed in the
world to Go good, and since the endowment
of speech is one of our greatest means Of
influence, it is most unseemly for US to ut
ter that which shall do injury. lie whose
business lis to root out the tares, should
not scatter their seed.
1t will enable us to govern our feelings
and direct our trains Of thought. He who
gives expression to his feelings increases
their strength. He who gives expression
to anger, for example, increases its power
ever him. He who gives utterance to i'm
proper thoughts, will increase their num-
Der.
1t will increase our influence with our
fellow men. "A fool uttereth all his mind,
but wise man keepeth it in until after
wards" Gravity and reserve are associa-
ted with wisdom. Even an affected gravity
ia sometimes effsctiye,-the true art of
silence, ever. We can be useful only as we
are influential.
Finally, it will enable US to follow the
example of Christ. lie was ever afable and
ready to communicate instruction, but no
useless utterances escaped his lips. Let us
labor to attain this art, that our speech
may always be with grace.

gellze the world. In short, most beautiful
harmony obtained between his secret exer-
cises and bis public utterances. There was
no conflict between his preaching and his
prayers. 1t was not one man in the class
room with his pupils, and another man in the
closet with his God; but delightful consis-
tency ran through his character, both as
teacher and Christian.
We only state the great law of the Chris
tian life, when we speak of growth-irst
the tender blade, and then the full corn in
the ear. DR.. ThornwelI ripened in holiness
to the very hour of his translation. His hu-
mility became more profound, his faith more
abiding, his love more glowing, his will
chastened into deeper submission. He did
not escape the discipline of sorrow by which
the Lord refnes His people. The cup Of
bereavement, with its bitterest ingredients,
was once and again put to his lips. A de-
lightful softness was diffdsed over his Chris
tan character. The sharper and sterner
features were worn down into more perfect
symmetry and grace. He became more gem
tie in his censures, more catholic in his love.
His views Of the Divine holiness and of the
Radeemer's glory, were always grand; they
now became more sublime and adoring. He
rose above the speculations Of reason, and
approached more nearly the ecstacy and
rapture of seraph. Upon his dying bed,
the Holy Spirit placed His last seal upon his
brow. Lying apparently unconscious for
hours, most delightful smiles played over
his cOuntenance, like the Hastings of sum-
mer evenings cloud. His last broken words,
upon which the departing sonl was borne
into the bosom of God, were calculations of
wonder and of praise. Wonderful beau
tiful nothing but space expanse, expanse,
expanse!" and so he passed upward and
stood before the Throne.

A word to you, FATHER. The Lord has
blessed you with children. Are you endeay-
oring, as a parent, to discharge your duty

in the ways in which they should go2 Are
you leading them in the "strait and narrow
way" which leadeth unto life externally Do
you let your light" shine before them, that
they may see your good works? D. you
teach them to remember the Sabbath day
to keep holy and are YOU found with them
around your family altar daily, teaching
them to offer up their sacrifices unto God
When the Sabbath comes, are you found in
the house of God, trying to train them up in
the way of the Lo:d7 Or are you Indifferent
as to what becomes of these dear children;
whether they ever hear prayer offered, or
attend church. or Sabbath school, or in
what manner they spend the Sabbathl Do
your sons stroll through the woods and fields
in idleneas, or are they found at the corners
of the streets upon the Sabbath, where ''idLe
men" congregate to rehearse the doings of
the past week, here the name of God is
irreyereutly spoken in violation of the com
mandment, "Thou shalt not take the name
of the Lord thy God in vain !"
