The Crows n est.

Some vessels are furnished with
lookout at the masthead, to which
seamen give the name of the crows
nest. 1t is frame work of wooden
laths, covered all around with stout
canvass, to furnish protection against
the cold to those who are obliged to
occupy this exposed position.
Tie christians closet may be COM
pared to this lookout. First, it is an
elevated place. The look out at mast
head is far above the din and hustle of
the ships deck. This elevated posi-
ton has its own peculiar advantages.
The mind of him who occupies it is
not diverted, nor his attention distract
ed from the proper business of the
hour by what is passing beneath him.
SO it is with the christians closet,
when it is indeed cOnsecrated place
into which the world is not permitted
to enter. When the christian enters
such closet, he is for the time eleva-
ted far above the daily labors, cares
and anxieties which too often burden
and disturb the mind
The lookout is an excellent place
for taking observations. This is in
deed the special purpose for which it
was constructed. Here objects may
be clearly discerned, which are but
dimly seen, or quite invisible from the
deck Of the ship. So it is with the
christians closet Here objects be-
come distinct to the mental and moral
vision, which are but dimly seen, or
not seen at all amid the labors, cares
| and excitements of daily life.
| In time of danger the lookout at
masthead, if not constantly occupied,
is frequently visited. The safety of
the ship often requires that some one
! should keep a close watch from this
post of observation. In seas which
are encountered with ice, it is necessa-
ry for the captain or some other officer
Of the ship to keep this station for
hours, to pilot the vessel through packs
of drift ice. Dangers which are un-
seen on the ships deck are here dis
covered and guarded against. So with
the christians closet. Dangers which
escape his observation while pursuing
the daily routine of life, are here dis
covered, and the soul is put on it's
guard against them.
The closet should be often visited in
times of danger Times Of special
prosperity are times of danger. Then
the lookout should be often visited
for the ship is sailing in seas where the
drift-ice OF coldness, worldliness and
hardness of heart abounds. Times OF
adversely are times of danger. Then
should the christian betake himself to
his look out; for the dangerous rocks
of unbelief, distrust and repining are
near at hand. Here is the best place
for comparing the course OF the ship
with the chart where these ice obstruc-
ted seas and these dangerous rocks and
headlands are all mapped out. The
lookout and the closet, or, in other
words, the closet and the Bible, are
the two safeguards of the christian in
his life-voyage. 1t is through the dill
igent use of these means of grace that
| the Captain of his Salvation will guide
him safely to the harbor of eterna
rest.-COr s. School Times.

In view of the fact that the militia of
Pennsylvania will probably be called out
in the course of few weeks, we publish,
for the benefit OF our readers, an outline
of the militia law passed by the last Leg
islature, which takes up some thirty three
pages printed matter. The bill bears
date March 80, 1864, and provides First,
That every able bodied white male citizen,
resident in the State, of the age of TWEEN.
ty one and under the age of forty FIVE
years, shall be enrolled in the militia, with
the usuals exemptions of idiots, lunatics,
paupers, &c.

the same time they are engaged in taking
the assessment or valuation of real and per
sonal property, record all names of those
liable to duty, and place certified copy in
the Office of the county commissioners Of
seach county in the State, and such record
shall be deemed asu6fctent otjtication to all
persons whose names are thus recorded
that they have been enrolled in the militia
When the roll is completed, assessors shall
put up III public places notices similar to
the United States enrolment.
Section third provides severe penalties
for any assessor, clerk or commissioner, who
shall refuse or neglect TO perform any of
the duties provided.
Section 4 The enrolled militia shall
he subject to no active duty, except in case
of war, invasion, the prevention of invasion,
the suppression of riots, and to aid the
civil authorities in executing the laws OF
the Commonwealth, in which case the
Commander in Chief shall order out, for
actual service, by draft or oher,0ise, as
many Of the militia as necessity demands.
Section 6. Every soldier ordered out
for active duty by the proper authorities,
who has not some able bodied substitute,
shall serve, or pay the sum of seventy five
dollars within twenty four hours from such
time. Exemptions are similar to those
provided by the United States service,
giving members of the Legislature exemp'
ton while on duty, and fifteen days before
and after the time of their actual term.
Section 10 provides that the city OF

tion of officers, he shall order one or more
commissioned officers or privates to notify

to do so, he shall forfeit no less than TWEEN
ty nor more than one hundred dollars.

SONG OF THE SOLDIER.

The moon has set-the signal light
Sends high its solemn warning!
We sleep upon our arms tonight
And wait the bat tile morning.
Horus-We march beneath the Stripes and Stars,
Gods banner!-et earth bless it!
Yet to it every knee shall bow,
And every tongue confess It'll
Again the signal light CLEANS forth,
And hark!- "long roll" beating!
To arms!-faIl into line and give
The foe freeman's greeting.
We march, etc.
If we fall on the battlefield,
Friends, let there be signing;
There is in all the universe
No better place for dying!
We march, etc.
A few years more. few years less,
What matters it, my brotherl
Our duty done. We'll fearless pass
From this world to the other.
We march, etc.
This thought shall sweeten hfe's last hour
Our heavenly Father sees us;
Die humbly for the human race,
As once died holy Jesus.
We march, etc.
But see!-red shot and kissing shell
The southern skies iluming
And bark! the northern answer, in
The cannons sullen booming!
We march, etc.
Hurrahl the buges sound the charge!
o, sturdy northern yeomenl
With tempest stride and serried steel
Sweep down upon the foemenl
We march, etc.
The trampled of the distant lands
Watch, pray, and hope, and wonderl
The slaves shout in the barracoon,
As through the breach we thunder
We march, etc.

poieomIs FOehth0ms
BY our aavices from Europe received YES
terday, we learn that the Mexican ques-
ton has entered upon new phase in France,
one which will doubtless rid this continent OF
the presence Of the French troops, and thus
give Napoleon the opportunity to enter into
the coming contest In Europe with all his
forces at his command, and untrammellsd by
such stumbling block In his way az Is the
invasion Of Mexico. A committee OF the
French Deputies, called 70 report upon the
supplementary credits requested by their gov
eminent, have made, In the boldest language,
an urgent request that the Emperor should
give up the Mexican expedition, that he should
hold back "on the brink Of dangerous entan-
clements" and retire from this imbroglio as
soon as the honor Of France will allow. The
committee assert that In making this request
they but represent the general sentiment Of
the French nation, and they dare hope that
the Emperor will appreciate this desire.
We are inclined to suppose that this Is just
that graceful mode Of backing out of the
Mexican muddle which We have always pre-
distsd would be the end Of this pet scheme Of
Napoleon. He doubtless was fully In concert
with the members Of the Corps Legislatif who
made the report we have alluded to, and, hav.
ing thus arranged the matter, will make Z
