The works here are marvellous. That the Yam.
KEGS have gained one or two points of advan-

enough; but if they purchase all their positions
thus, they will lose every soldier in Grants

of Richmond. The city can't be taken. 1t
won't fall" We hope not, indeed.

parative equanimity by each prisoner; but on
tho second, the yell OF deep and excritiating

John Calvin. bY D,Anhirna.

Speaking of Calvin, the great Reformer of
Geneva. D'Aubigne, the most graphic and in
teresting Of all the historians of the reforma-
ton, says:54els NJ a1 rnss q
eve entertain no blind admiration for him.
We know that he sometimes used bitter Ian
guage. We acknowledge that, sharing the
faults of his century, or rather of ten centu-
ries, he believed that whatever infringed on
prospect due to God ought to be punished
by the civil power, quite as much as anything
that might be injurious to the honor or life
of man." .Vaglilaa si b iaoniis5. 81
\ Yet, says critical reviewer Of the historian,
with all his impartial judgment, D'Auoigne,
has that admiration of the man he writes about
which every biographer must have to make
his biography at once take hold of the heart OF
the reader. Partially in such work is, after
all, preferable to dull and insipid lukewarmness.
D'Aubigne, if we may judgs by this volume,
has neither; he has struck the happy mean
and his Reformation in the time of Calvin is
already the standard work on the subject, and
most valuable addition to historical and re-
ligious literature. nileaae ti9 di Y t1on e

doors, and stimulus to others who by reason
of the notice may be urged to works of benev-
olence. -A
Learning what our neighbors of the town of
Gorham have been doing during the past sea-
son for the benefit of the soldiers, it seems to
us that brief statement of the case is due
alike to the benevolence of the citizens and
the object for which they have SO successfully
labored. And the credit belongs net to any
particular denomination, but to every sect
and party; for all have cheerfuIly contributed
of their time and money for this praiseworthy
end. Nor have these efforts been confined to
the Village, but have extended throughout the
town, including particularly '.sWhite Rock,,'
Little Falls" "Great Fallsn and other locali-
ties. Il sEnoa ugRae8. 5 sae,T .wgs
We learn that in June last Fair, gotten
up mainly for the. benefit of the Christian
Commission, was held at the Village, the net
proceeds Of which were ttcelue hundred si1ty
dollars and forty cents. OF this sum one
thousand dollars were paid to the Christian
Commission. The balance.was placed in the
hands Of the Ladies' Aid Society to be expend-
ed for materials to be wrought into garments
for the use of the soldiers, by which arrange
ment the amount was increased to about t,oo
thousand dollars. III
Besides this sum there has been raised for
the Sanitary Commission, through concerts,
tableaux, &C., nearly Jioe hundred dollars.
~ These amounts, together with boxes Of,
clothing, mattresses, quilts, sheets, hospital
stores, &c, as well as barrels of vegetables
and other articles, specially needful for sol
diers whether in the field or camp or hospital,
make, at the lowest estimate, gross sum
equal In cash to four thousand dollars s--.2 ~
Whether this amount is more or less than
other towns in the State, in proportion to
their population and wealth, have contributed
for similar purpose, we have no means of
Judging, nor is it important to inquire, except
as it may afford a. stimulus to efforts in the
same direction g ST. WAs
In view Of the horrors of war-the priva-
tons, exposures, suffering and death of sol,
diers, the suspense and agony Of relatives and
friends. and the nameless calamities incident
90 state Of warfare--it is cause alike of won-
der and joy that the fountains Of benevolence
are not thereby sealed, but on the contrary
are more widely open than ever before, while
in the midst OF these sore trials full streams
of blessings are constantly pouring forth in
richest abundance. @
