How oft do we hear the unkind remark,
"How rough he is hardly human n'-"ht
subject for the battlefield too
often uttered by lips that should breathe
the prayer >RGod bless the soldiers2" Oh,
could We but look into the almost bursting
heart of the rough clad, tired soldier as he
plods his way, weary and worn, casting o
glance at intervals to see one kind smile,
TO hear one kind and gentle voice to re-
mind him of home and the "loved ones"
left far behind to the mercies of a cold and
heartless world-could we but look into that
fond heart and see the aching void, we would
clasp that hand tenderly, and draw him
gently to our homes welcome guest. Oh,
did YOU but think for a moment of the sac
risce made by the ones you term "strip-
ling" you would smother the thought before
it rises to your pure lips, and your cheeks
would burn with the sisterly blush, and your
lips would breathe prayer instead for the
wanderer.
Come with me to yon snow-covered cabin.
IT'S rude hut, but pause ere you enter
and behold the scene: an aged mother
bowed in deep and earnest prayer, and as
she prays for her jewels, a smile not of
sadness, but settled calmness gives place
to one of extreme agony her boys-she
has but two, the pride of her declining
years-bOth she gave as did "Abraham Of
DID," living sacrifice upon the "altar Of
her country"
Come with me to yonder habitatiOn, moi
of wealth but comfort. Hark What shrek
was that which rent the air. A widowed
mother kneels beside the fatherless babe
and asks God in mercy to let the bitter
cup pass from her. Another sacrifice to th'
dark and bloody ground Pause then, sis
ters, and give that thought not utterance
Your lips should breathe prayer for tn,
friendless soldier. If you have brother
then love the soldier for your brother
sake; and if you have none, the honest
hearted soldier will be brother and pro
tector.
But oh, for the love ofGod, speak kindl.
to the soldier. MINNIE MYRTLE.

MODEL PREAoHTNG.-A lady writing to
her son at college, makes the following
vstatement:
DR.. Mundy is giving a series of sermons
on the different kinds of wood used in build
ing Solomon's Temple. They are very in
teresting, and he has such flow of beauti-
full words, and such wavy gestures, and he
looks so gentlemanly, that have no doubt
he does great deal of good. The church
is always full
Preaching about the soOoa in Solomon's
Temple, instead of the great truths which
that wonderful structure symbolized, re-
minds us of the young Lutheran preacher,
who took for the text of his first sermon,
this passage: "The wind bloweth where ii
listeth, and thou nearest the sound thereof
but canst not tell whence it cometh mol
whittier it goeth; so is every one that is
born of the spirit" the young
aspirant to clerical honors informed his
hearers that sour subject, this morning.

and, to make the matter appropriately
textual, he divided his subject into these
