dissolved in the one glorious appelllt:on of
Christian and when all shall realize that
we have but one Master, even Christ, and
that we all are brethren.
Looking at this as the duty of all Chris
tians, what must be thought of those who
forgetting the great mission of peace on earth
aud good will to all mankind, which they are
commissioned to proclaim, have been, and
still are the foremost advocates of war, blood
shed, and degradation for their fallen coun-
trymen, whose institutions and long-taught
opinions do not conform to their prejudiced
views. No observant mind but must see aud
feel most sorrowfully, the sad effects of this
departure from Christian principle upon the
part of so large portion OF protesting Chris
tians. The great Generalization everywhere
to be seen throughout our country is the in
evitable result of state of war. Man is nat
uraIIy beliigerent animal. There is much
in the gaudy trappings of the soldier, in the
eclat which surrounds his achievements. and
the honors which are showered upon him, to
make it fascinating to the ambitious and
worldl ly=minded. 1t needs not the aid of the
ministry, or the membership of protesting
Christian communities to add to its attrac-
tiveness, or to hide its real responsiveness from
sight. War is anti-Christian in its every
characteristic, and destructive of that princ-
plc of love which the Saviour came to incul-
cate. And we can look to nothing but the
progress of real Christian sentiment upon.
earth, to arrest the strong current of the
popular and prevailing partiality for this fear
ful ordeal. Then only will an imperious
sense of duty lay the check of severe princi-
pie on all the subordinate taste and faculties
of our natures. Then will glory be reduced
to its right estimate, and the wakeful bencv-
olence of the Gospel chasing away every spell,
will be turned by the treachery of no delu-
sion whatever, from its sublime enterprises for
the good of the species. Then the reign of
truth and quictness will be ushered into the
world, and war, cruel, atrocous, unrcIenting
war, will be stripped of lis many, aud its be,
wildering destinations. Then, and then only
shall the earth feulize the blessedness of the
angel announcement of ''pcace on earth, and
good will among all mankind

and, painting with the bewildcring struggle,
we lay the head upon the bosom of Faith,
and folded in her arms, sink into passive
sleep of blind devotion. Why then seek to
read in vision the great truths which Time
aud@he Recording Angel will unfold to us
day after day? Let the moments pass. for
in their silent fight they will solve the great
problem of Destiny over which mind, immor,
tai mind has no control. Each dying year
brings us nearer to the grave, and nearer to
the great object for which we live. Each
tick of the clock shortens the pulse, and we
know not what chime may prove our knell.-
Nor should we ask to know, for life has no
charm so great as that of the mystery in
which it is surrounded
Hail a glad hail tothe New Year, even if
the sands of life are running low, for on the
natal morn, Hope wears her brightest smile .
We remember the errors Of the past, only
that we may profit by them, drop a tear upon
the graves of the departed, because we would
keep them green in the halls of memory, and
driving the shadows back from the heart, we
pledge our faith anew to those who have
proved constant and true, and resolve to live
so as to catch the sunshine in the great here

RATs.-It has been discovered that rats
can be got rid of by covering the floor near
the rat hole with thin layer of moist caustic
potash. When the rats walk on this it makes
their feet sore; these they lick with their
tongues; it makes their mouths sore: and
the result is that they shun this locality. not
alone, but appear tO.tell all the neighboring
rats about it, and eventually the house is en-
tirely abandoned by them, notwithstanding
