In heavy sleep the Calph lay,
When some one called, "Arise and pray !"
The angry Caliph cried, "Who dare
Rebuke his king for sighted prayer"
Then, from the corner Of the room,
A voice cut sharply through the gloom:
my name is satan. Rise obey
Hohammed's law Awake and pray"
"Thy t0ords are rood, the Caliph said,
"But their intent | somewhat dread;
For matters cannot well be worse,
Than when the thief says, 'Guard your purs
cannot trust your counsel, friend,
It surely hides some wicked end"
Said Satan: Near The throne Of God,
In ages past, we devils trod;
Angels Of light to us twas given
To guide each wandering foot to heaven.
Not wholly lost in that first love,
Nor those pure tastes we know above.
Roaming across a continent,
The Tartar shifts his moving tent.
Bat never quite forsets the day
When in lis fathers arms he lay;
SO VIC, once bathed in love divine,
Recall the taste Of that rich wine.
Gods finger rested on my brow
That magic touch, fceli, now
feel, It's tuc,-O ask not why
For still to God turn my eye;
It was a chance bv which fell;
Another takes me back from Hell.
7 was but my envy Of mankind,
The envy Of loving mind.
Jealous Of men, could not bear
Gods love with this new race ~ share.
But vet Gods tables orcn stand

Tho Caliph said 'Ifmisbe so

For how can thy words believe,
When even God thou dilst deceive.
A sea Of lies art thou,-our sin
Only drop that sca Within"

The Order to Advance.

We print elsewhere important general orders
issued by the President as commander in-chief
81 FJs'e army. ,appears by these that as long
aSe as t4o 22d Of January the President signi-
fed to the army his desire that they should
everywhere make preparations for an advance,
and be ready by the 22d of February every where
10 move on the iusurgent forces. Gen. Halleck
and the Department of the Mississippi were
prepared in advance of the time named, and
before that date " moved On the enemy S works -
and gained victories that will ever illustrate our
history. Burnside, before that date, in the face
-af, emense difficulties, had fought his way to a
prominent foothold in North Carolina The ex-
petition at Port Royal was moving, and ap-
preaching the dclences of the rebel army along
that coast. But the execution of this order
seems to have been delayed along the Potomac
IN front of Washington two or three weeks later
than the time fixed by the President. The rea-
son of this exceptional delay does not appear,
Enough the consequences OF it is quite apparent
an the immediate escape of the entire rebel army,
with all its munitions and armament of war. TO

SLAVERY IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Tho
4 Committees of the two Houses OF Congress have
. agreed upon bill for the abolition of slavery
, IN the District of Columbia. Since the Presi-
: dents message, and the very general favor with
which it has been received, Congress ought, at
least ito treat the almost universal sentiment of
the loyal States as in favor of inaugurating alb
clifton wherever the Government has power ;
and We think nobody, except the most ultra
friends OF slnFery, will deny the right and power
Of Congress tie abolish slavery in Government
territory Therefore let US have speedy action
where the Government has power, and show that
the talk of members Of Congress about emanci-
patton and abolition means something, and can
be made practical.

since, an aged man calling himself Lucas, and
protesting to lecture on Sacred Music and Con-
gregational singing, to the churches, first, for
the good of the cause, and second, for his own
good, came into my parish. He came with n
large bouud volume Of recommendations from
many OF the eminent ministers and editors of
New England, and on account of his tesimo-
mails was permitted to lecture. For week
following his lecture, he was openly and con-
stantly intoxicated, disturbed q public assembly
by his disorderly behavior, and indul. ed in such
language as is fitting only TO the lowest liber-
tine. How far he is worthy OF the confidence
of the churches, this statement of facts will

save something from the flames, his wife started
for their sons for help. but before reaching them
sank down from exhaustion and came near per.
ishng in the snow, but fortunately the family
Of the son discovered the fire, and this led to The
rescue of the perishng mother, who, although
badly frozen, it IS thought she may recover -
Mr.. Brown was partially insured. and the neigh
bors are kindly doing much for their relief and
although their loss was great, they are thank
full that kind Providence spared their lives.

a Methodist preacher from North Caro-

me, had he taken any steps to free his slaves
by sending them North, had he even express
sed his opinion that he ough to free them.
though he was one Of their grand order of ar
istocrats, he would have been compelled to
fee his country. This is the form of cvili-
zation which is making war upon men in the
South who wish to escape it, and men in the
North who dare to dislike it, our national life,
to which it is radically inimica.
