Messrs. Hoyt and Robinson,

A letter from member of Dr. Robinson's
congregation in Louisville, gives us the in
formation that General Boyle has given
Rev. Mr.. Hoyt his selection between going
into the Southern Confedeiacy or goirg out
OF the country to any other point. He has
chosen to go to Canada and has gone, and
DR.. Robinson has gone with him. II.
The difficulty in Mr.. Hoyt's case was that
nc Is an avowed Secessionist, and is unwi!-
ling to take the oath of allegiance. Gen.
Boyle will not tolerate any such disloyalist..
Such men are net confined to Kentucky
We have them in Ohio. At this time, as
we are told, an Ohio minister who says,
when he prays for those in authority, he
prays not only for Mr.. Lincoln but also for
Jefferson Davis, as being equally in author
ity, is now writing in the True Presbyterian
to destroy the influence Of a certain Profess
sor elect at Dauville, because he said in Sy-
nod that clerical traitors deserve punish
ment. 60
If such men as Gen. Boyle were in author
ity in the North, they would, no doubt, OK
ercise very wholesome influence. No man,
much less minister, who is not heartily iu
favor of the Government, and as heartile
opposed to the rebellion, has reason 10 ex-
pect to be tolerated at such time as this.

A Plain Truth.

How STANCE it is, that men, and women
too, are oftenest ashamed of what is best in
them, and are ignobly contented with the
worlds approval Of, or understood silence
in regard to things discreditable to their hui
manity. One starts sometimes with horror
to see the beautiful and the true recklessly
thrust in the back ground, that deformity
may be decked and garlanded, and paraded
in its place. Only by long continuance BY
wronging our better nature, can the souls
protesting voice thus be silenced. Only by
long chosen association with those who have
themselves succeeded in doing it, does it
grow fainter aud fainter, to be heard never
again till the soul rouses itself horror struck
at the misspent past, and the hopeless flu.
ture. Few there are, among men or women,
who can boldly assert themselves, at those
moments when they are nearest heaven, in
the face of dissent, or Indifference, or ridi
cule. Too often our good angel covers his
face and retires, that a mocking fend may
clap us approvingly on the back. II Fanny

Cl,neipg to Youth,

there is nothing foolish or unworthy when

Sacrifices of American Women.

A good idea is advanced in the following
from the McGregor Times Speaking of
soldier who left his wife and child behind
him while he went to the war, it says:
We will always concede the need Of patri.
otism and self-sacri6ce to the man who
leaves his home and business to save his
country from threatening perils; but we
contend that the fond wife who relinquishes
her husband, and with her babe accepts the
double cares aud utter loneliness Of a three
years separation from him who is more
than life to her, in all that goes to make up
the sum of patriotic heroisln, is immeas,
urably above her companion. 1t is quite
time that the va.t army of heroic, selfsac-
riicing women of this land should receive q
just recognition tor the important part they
have enacted through this unhappy rebel
lion. There is one courage that goes to the
battle field; there is another that cheerfully
yields everything in life worth living for up
ON the altar of their country. 4 l.

Early Attachments.

The attachments formed in early life are
generally more enduring than those formed
in latter years. Almost every person looks
back with melancholy pleasure, with a
smile or tear, upon the sun bright hours of
childhood aud youth. Surrounded unto
overwhelming by the noise and strife OF an
eager, contending world, fancy will, at times,
bear him back to the hallowed spot of his
birth. The lofty woods again re echo with
the mingled shouts Of mirth 4; again he sports
with his companions beneath each well-re-
membered tree in the orchard ; and again he
sits with the loved and loving ones around
the wide old hearth, while the joyous hours
are unheeded. There sits the father, the
mother, the sister, the brother, each in their
tavorite place in the circle and as kind and
careful as ever before. The big, bright fire
sparkles and glows emblematical Of the glow
in the hearts of those by whom it is now
surrounded. Perchance there will come,
too, recollection of one dearer still than the
chosen home circle; and again beneath the
placid rays of the pale moon, he holds the
white hand confdingly within his own, and
listens to the transporting sounds of that
voice. But reality brings him back, and
tells him that the fire upon that hearthst0ne
has long since died out, the flame Of life
has been extinguished by the hand of death,
and that death has led away with him that
radient form.

Where is the hand that cropped the ,wers!

The old homestead is deserted! Ruin has
here had its perfect work. Where once sat
the happy sire, and in the corner where the
sister nestled, now the horrid form Of the
rattlesnake is coiling. The flower garden is
overgrown with weeds, and the trees of the
orchard are moss covered and decayed, or
entirely passed away. But he refuses to
think Of it thus: he reflects upon it ouly as
the abode Of contentment, and the home Of
love; and wherever fate may fear him on
through the world, THIS must ever remain
the green spot, the one oasis in the desert
of life But he gives it only thought; he
