created by him and for him, and he is before
all things, and by him all things consist And
he is the head of the body, the church, who
is the beginning, the first born from the dead,
that in all things he might have the pre-em-
inence. For it pleased the Father that in him
should all fullness dwell. Col. l. 1919.
The duty Of the saints in reference to the
civil powers Of the earth is plainly enjoined
in the scriptures, especial in the New Tes-
lament. First of all they are exhorted to
make supplications, prayers, intercessions and
giving of thanks for all men, for kings, and
for all that are in authority, that we may lead
a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and
honesty" l Tim. ii. l, g. The religion of
Christ, like the wisdom that cometh from
above, is first pure, then peaceable, gentle
and easy to be entreated, full of good fruits
without partiality and without hypocricy and
the deciples of Jesus are commanded to live,
so far as in them lies, peaceably with all men.
That they may so live they are exhorted to
pray God to govern our governors, rule our
rulers, and give US such earthly governments
as shall not involve US in strife or subject us
to persecution. Paul charged Titus as a min
lister of Christ to 'Put them in mind to be
subject to principalities and powers, to obey
magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
to speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers,
but gentle, showing all meekness unto all
men. Titus iii. l, 2. Our allegiance to
Christ as King of saints, does not release US
from any obligation to those who are in au-
thority over US in temporal matters, but it
does require, as in our text, that every soul
shall be subject to the higher powers. That
the laws of Christ do recognize as institu-
tons of God all the various grades Of power
ard authority vested in man, we have shown
and the saints are commanded to respect and

a Model Composition.

To BOYS and girls, who are perplexed t.
know what to write about, and how to write
II, when required by their teacher to bring
composition" we commend the following
model:
WNrER-Winter is the coolest season o.
the year, because it comes in the winter. In
some countries winter comes in summer, and
then it is very pleasant. I wish winter came
in summer in this country. Then I could go
barefoot, and slide down hill in linen trow-
sers. We could snowfall without our fingers
getting cold-and men who go out sleigh rid
ing then wouldn't have to stop at every tav-
erD to warm, as they do now. 1t SHOWS
more in winter than it does in any other sea
son Of the year. This is because so many
cutters and sleighs are made at that time.
Ice grows much better in winter than in
summer, which was an inconvenience, before
the discovery Office houses. Water that is
left out of doors is apt to freeze at this season.
Some people take in their wells and cisterns
on a cold night, and keep them by the fire, so
they don't freeze.
Skaing is great fun in winter, especially
when the gals fall down TO see if the ice is
solid. The boys get their skates when the
water is frozen over, and race, play tag, break
through the ice and get wet all over (they
get drowned sometimes fall and break their
heads, ane enjoy themselves in many other
ways. A wicked boy once borrowed my
skates and ran off with them, and couldn't
catch him. Mother said ajudgement would
overtake him one day. Judgement will have
to be pretty lively on its legs If it does, for
he runs bully.
There amt much sleigh-riding except in
the winter-folks don't seem to care much
about it in warm weather. The grown up
boys and girls like to go sleigh-riding. The
toys generally drive with one hand, and help
the girls to hold their muffs with the other.
Brother Bob let me go along little way
once when he took Celia Crane out sleigh
riding. thought he paid more attention to
holding the muf than he did to the holding
of the horses.
Suow-balling is another winter sport. I
have snow-balled in the summer, but we
used stones and hard apples. 1t isn't so
amusing as it is in winter somehow.
But enough I have dashed of these lit
tie things about winter while sister is getting
ready for school.

Letter from General Mcclellan.

At the celebration of the anniversary of the
battle of New Orleans, by the Keystone
Club, of Philadelphia, the following Letter
from General Mcclellan was read:
ORANGE, N. J., December 20, 1864.
GENTLEMEE-Ih have received with pleasure
your very polite invitation to unite with the
Keystone Club, on the occasion of the cele.
bration of the anniversary of the battle o.
New Orleans.
Certainly there is no association with
whom I could more gladly participate in that
celebration; but the course have marked
out for myself renders it necessary for me to
beg thOt you will accept my apology for fail
ing to be with you
l will venture to express my qualification
at the gallant manner in which the Keystone
Club bore its part in the recent contest I
am confident that its members will ever re-
main true to the cause of the Union and con-
stitutiOnal liberty, that they will ever prove
by word and deed their loyalty and devotion
to our country, and that, when the due course
of time brings on the next great political con-
test, they will render to whoever may then
be hOnored with the proud position of the
standard-bearer of the party, the same hon
Orable and jealous support that has filled my
heart with pride and gratitude that can new
er be effaced.
With my sincere prayers for your prosper
ty, and the hope that the celebration may be
in every respect most pleasant one, I am,
very respectfully yours,
GEo. B. Mcclellan.

PAUL JONES,
BY JAMES PARTON.

PAUL JONES was the first man that
ever hoisted the Stars and Stripes on a
ship of war When the revolutionary
war broke out he was living in Philadel-
phia in extreme poverty. Indeed, he
was almost penniless, and had scarcely a
friend in the colonies. He was born on
the southern coast of Scotland, where he
lived until he was twelve years old, and
then having passion for the sea, he
served regular apprenticeship of seven
years on board ship trading to Ameri-
ca. He learned his business thoroughly,
as great men always do. There never
lived better sailor than Paul Jones, and
he knew the British coast as Familiarity
as a neWsboy knows Nassau. After fol-
lowing the sea till he was twenty-five
years old, he settled a merchant in the
West Indies, where he acquired little
property, and had good prospects of ma
king a fortune. But in Iva, when he
was obliged, for some reason he would
never tell, to suddenly leave the island of
Tobago, and he sailed for Philadelphia
with just fifty pounds in his pocket; and
that was all the money he ever received
from his property in TObago. There is
said to be woman at the bottom of ev-
cry mischief. This, as our readers well
know, is a slander on the fair sex. But
the intimate friends of Paul Jones always
supposed that it was some affair of love
that caused him to abandon his home and
property in the West Indies. He was
always noted for his chivalrio and re-
spectful devotion to the ladies.
In Philadelphia he lived year and
eight months on his fifty pounds, since
commerce was nearly suspended by the
refusal Of the coIonists to consume Brit
ish manufactures, and he could get no

DEsPIsE not thy mother when she is old
Age may waste and wear a mothers beauty,

relation as mother is as the son when he goes

may be gray-headed, but her moiherly rela-
