The L. ). Senate Tuesday passed the
amendments TO the Enrolment Bill re-
ported by Mr.. Wilson on Monday. max
ing a considerable number Of changes,
however The section DISTINGUISHING de
serters was adopted, the right to put in
substitutes liable to draft was restricted
TO men actually drafted, and the place TO
get them limited TO the ward or township
where the principal resides-such suhsti-
tutes exempt only from one draft This
new provision is not so liberal as the one
in the existing law which it is intended
10 repeal, as by the latter, citizen substi-
tutes exempt the principal until the en-
rollment is exhausted. Several proposed
amendments were rejected, one of which
offered by Mr. Lane. of Indiana abol-
ishing substitution altogether, received
only seven votes.

The LOUD AND THE SILENT A loud
tongue is not always the sign of large
heart neither is it just to esteem that
man callous to all finer impressions, be
cause you have never seen him in fits,
consequent on some alleged case of
trouble. We remember an instance that
bore out our conviction, in this respect,
to the very utmost. The report having
gone around of dire calamity { a report
perfectly correct, J among some twenty
persons were couple whose separate
expressions on the occasion were by no
means similar. One gentleman was loud
in his giief-wrung his hands, and almost
tore his hair. Money must be raised
for the afflicted - he exclaimed Eyes,
money! And he quilted, with his hand
on the pocket of his vest, everybody
thought, intent on the work of charity.
There was another gentleman in the
room. He said nothing, and remained
quite undisturbed in feature Presently,
however, he made his exit; but the
following day it ooziug ont that he had
been untiring in his endeavors to find
the sufferers by the recent calamity, and,
finding them, had subscribed nobly
toward 4 fund for their perfect relief.
1t also transpired that the other gentle
man had given-notiIn1.

There is movement in progress in
New York to assist discharged and dis
abled soldiers in the procurement of
work. Such an enterprise should be in
augurated in every city in the land.-Er-
change.
I.s- We second the motion, and, in
pro curing our brave soldiers work" an
eye single should be kept to giving those
who are capable and well qualified, the
civil officers of the country in preference
to those who have remained at home
during the struggle for National life.
This is their just and fair reward for their
sacrifices and gallantry.

WAITING FOR OUR SOLDIERS.

By the blue Potomac's waters,
BY the Rappah annock's line,
by the sunny Southern rivers
Meath the holly and the pine,
Falling Ia tile shock Of battle,
Wounded, in their blood they lie
Piaing with the DARK malaria
So our youthful patriots die.
In the city, in the village,
In the hamlet fsrsway,
Sit the mothers watching, waiting,
For their Soldier-boys to-day.
They are coming-daiiy coming,
One by one, and score BY score,
In their leaden casing folded,
Underneath the flag they bore,
Thinks the mother, watching, waiting,
And expectant all the day
When his regiment was summoned,
How her soldier went away
With his bayonet cleaning,
With his knspsack on his back,
With his blanket strapped and folded
And his home filled hsversack.
Thinking Of the courage swelling
In his eyes and IN his heart,
Though manly tear was yelling,
When lie kissed her to depart,
Thinking Of his precious letters
Written by the camp fires glow,
Rich in love Of home aud country,
And Of her who babe him 20.
Counting now the tagging moments,
For the knocking at the door,
For the shutting aud the tramping
Feet of strangers on the floor:
Bringing in the precious burden,
Leaving her u grief and tears,
To the sorrow and the mourning
Darkening all the coming years
Stay the wailing and the signing,
Who IN bitterness complain
Saidst thou our sons were dying,
Pouring out their blood in vain?
God forbid He Stays the frst-born
That the people may b. free
Not drop Of blood is wasted
lis the price OF Liberty

Webster and Everett-A Difference OF Only
Two Days Between their Ages al the time
Of

Of Death.
Daniel Webster was born January II,
1872, and died October II 1852, aged
seventy years, nine months, and six days;
Edward Everett was born April IL, 1894,
and died January Is, 1863, seventy years,
nine months, and four days The differ
ence between their ages at the time of
death was, therefore, only two days. The
almost fraternal relation of these great
men for so many years, during which
either might have been proud of the
others position but for his own, was of
a sort not often seen in public life, unin
terrupted, and never chilled by selfish
jealouses. 1t is beautifully referred to
by Mr.. Webster in one of his letters to
Mr. Everett

PRAYER. Prayer is heaven to the
shipwrecked man, an anchor to them
that are sinking in the waves, a staff
to limbs that totter, mine of jewels
to the poor, healer of diseases, and
guardian of health. Prayer at once
secures the continuance of our bless
ings, and dissipates the clouds OF our
calamitios. A blessed prayer thou
art the unwearied conqueror of human
woes, the firm foundation of human
happiness, the source of ver-enduripg
Joy, the mother of philosophy. The
man who can pray truly, though Ian
gushing in EXTREMIST ignorance, is
richer than all beside; whilst the
wretch who never bowed the knee,
though proudly seated as monarch of
all nations, is of all men the most des-
titute.- Ci ysostom.

WEsLH's PREACHING On our way
home from the chapel to-day, 1 saw
where the poor people go. 1t was in

Gle Henderson said: ut is John Wes-
ley" His manner was very calm, not
imprisoned like Mr.. Whitefeld's; but
the people seemed quite rs much
moved. Mr. Whitefeld looked as if
he were pleading with the people to
escape from danger which he could
see but they could not, and would
draw them to heaven in spite of them
selves Mr. Wesley did not appear so
much to plead as to speak with au-
thority. Mr.. Whitefeld seemed to
throw his whole soul into the peril of
his hearers. Mr.. Wesley seemed to
rest with his whole soul on the truth
he spoke, and by the force of his own
calm conviction to make every one
feel that what he said was true If his
hearers were moved, it was not with
the passion of the preacher; it was
with the bare reality of what he snid.
But they were moved indeed. No
wandering eye was there. Many were
weeping; some were sobbing as though
their hearts would break; and many
more were gazing as if they would not
weep, nor stir nor breathe, lest they
