Fortitude under Reyerses.

Gustavus, OF Sweden, wrote to his
minister, Oxenstiern, few days before
the battle of Lulzen, in which he fell:
"Though the cause in which lam engaged
is just and good, yet the issue of war, be.
cause of the vicisSltudes of human affairs,
must ever be deemed doubtful. Cncer-
tain also is the duration of mortal life
| therefore require and beseech you: IN
the name of our blessed lledceiner to
preserve your f"rtitude OF spirit, though
events should not proceed in perfect con
formity to our wishes"
These are counsels which should sink
into the hearts of our people, at such Il
iuncture rs the present. The just and
good cause is not always Immediately SUE
cessful. Many nights may darkcn over
us, before the morning of its triumph
d.wns; many storms blow and beat
aroun our tempted way, before the sun
of it's peace beams down from the trail
quill, cloadless heavens. 1t may please
the Father TO illustrate afresh in our IN
stance, ho~ a ri ghlcou, cause, even in its
adversely, may hold steadtast souls al
tracte,i-weedrd--to itself; how these
souls may choose rather to suffer atflic,iun
on its benaif than to enjoy the pleasures
of diShonorsbe apostacy,-rnay sc"rn
the heaven in which the ttnid ar'i trrac!.
erous seek anchor, and with heart and
hope buffet the "sca of troubles, until
the Providence Mut aoalhs upon tile acoters
shall cry "Peace, be still" aud a calm
come to them Us sudden as great. If this
be HIS pleasure, why should we not make
it ours? There are TWO iluslrious pages
of human history: one ilns,rlous iur
what is greatly done, the other llnstrions
for what is suffered greatly; and lie can
best choose on which our name shall t"
rtt,n-best for His own glory. best for
our true, abiding welfare.
