when they offered strange or forbidden
fire? They lost their lives and endanger-
ed the whole nation, and God gives them
a law or statute prohibiting the use of
wine forever thereafter on such occasions.
Is not drunkenness a great sin! Does not
God look upon it as such?
And yet again, did not Belshazzar, in
Babylon, actually lose his kingdom by
drinking! He made a great feast, and in
vited a thousand lords with their wives
and concubines, and using the golden yes
sells taken from the temple in Jerusalem,
they drank wine and praised the gods of
gold and of silver, of brass, of iron, Of
wood and of stone. And in the same
hour cam forth fingers of a mans hand
and wrote over against the king on the
wall, and the king saw part of the hand
that wrote. [ e kings countenance was
changed, he was terrified and troubled, and
his knees smote together, and he cried
aloud for the Astrologers, Chaldeans and
Soothsayers to explain the writing but
they could not and then Daniel was call
cd in and explained it. 1t was the hand
of God against him and his nation Meme,
meme, LeFet,x OpH0fStn.
These and other examples are written for
our Instruction. warning that we may
avoid their. course and escape their end
But how few heed the warning given. Ma
ton after nation has risen and fell, and
with many, if not most, ardent drink has
sapped their foundations and caused their
overthrow. Our once great Union rose
and hourished, but ardent spirits doubtless
has aided to bring about its overthrow
Our rules and Legislators needed not the
instructions of Lemuel's mother-forthey
did drink and forget the law and peryert
the Judgment Of the afflicted. Our days
as a united nation, north and south, are
numbered--we have been weighed in the
balances Of righteousness and truth, and
are found wanting, and now we are di-
yided, and who are to rule us we know
not yet. But when the enemy com.
eth in like a food, we should raise the
standard against him and while we try te
follow the example of Joshua, " as for u
and ours, we will serve the Lord,' let u
also try to follow the example Of the Rech
abites, " to drink no wine or Intoxicating
drinks all our days, we, our wives, GU
!, sons and our daughters" that therefore til
Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, may sa
unto us, as he said unto them, that ther
" shall not want a man to stand before m
forever" A. B. c..

Tent - MOTHER! MOTHER O! MY DEAR MOTHER
CONE; 1 MUST DIE" The ~plaintive words of the sick
boy aroused all the finer feelings of my natare-and
suggested the follow ing lines =
The stiffness of midnight prevailed in the camp,
And nothing was seen but the sick nurses lamp
And nothing was heard but the sick soldiers moan.
AS he lay thinking of friends and lov'd ones at home.
Aroused from my slumber By . sick soldiers cry,
0 f :. Mother, Oh Mother, dear Mother, I'll die,
Come Mother, do come to your sick soldier boy,
Your presence dear Mother my pains would alloy
Thus spoke the poor boy whilst lying in pain,
On a rude bed of straw with fcyeTish brain;
Far away from the home of his childhood SO dear,
he had gone out a soldier, a true volunteer.
But alas, his poor mother at home did remain.
She had blessed him and kissed Kim when he left her
to 60
To defsndhi dear country. thro' rain, hail and snow.
The blessings that mother had heaped on bis head.
Was remembered when brought to a painful sick bed
Though feyeTs beWlldered the< onng soldiers brain,
The thoughts Of his mother onhIs heart still remained
III any condition which man can be placed.
He, never forgets his dear mothers kind face
Though reason be lost by fever and pain,
Lis mothers loved image win vivid remain.

Rest. sufferer rest, deaths pains are past
Thy tourney on earth is Ger,
And thou hast found a home at last,
Where WEAKNESS comes no more.
Tho we loved thee, we must not weep,
Because thous't left us here;
Wen not disturb thy gentle sleep
By shedding bitter tears.
Rest, christian rest, within that home
Where all are pure and fair,
And naught shall check thy glorious song,
For there's no sickness there.
Disease can never reach thy frame
Death can not reach thee there,
Thou never more will feel a pain,
Nor shed bitter tear.
Rest. brother rest, and now behold
Thy great Redeemer's face,
See now the wealth of love untold
The glories of that place.
A harp of gold thou canst atune,
To play the highest notes,
While through the gates of Paradise
The sweetest music floats.
| Rest, christian rest, "we'H follow the road,
Which on earth thy footsteps trod
Yet longing for that blest abode,
And the city of thy God" .
Farewell brother, life's journeys short;
We can't be parted long,
Soon we'll join the heavenly choir
And join the happy song.

Twas night. The ground with snow was white
The moon had sank far out of sight,
While the starry lamps in the ether blue.
Gave not their light as they are won't to do.
In silence | stood by a child's tiny bed,
Who seemed not more alive than dead;
Whose every look did seem the last
That on this earth she e'er should cast.
Poor ELLA (forthat was thesick ones narne,)
DO you not feel for the better a change p
Or, must l soon-oh God forbid +
Have thee from me in the cold grave hid!'
Twas her mother dear who to her spoke,
With a heart all sorrow, aye nearly broke:
And the child understanding the sweet voice
we'll,
Turn'd her head as if from out deaths spell ;
Then pushing aside her silken locks of hair,
Said %, dear mother won'tyoumeet me there?
All now was over. Ere her mother could saw
YES, to little ELLA she had flown far away.
To the land of light-beyond the aurora skies,
Where sorrow is not known and pleasure
never dies.
