Luther at Rome.

| In the close Of the reign of Julius, Luther
visited Rome. The poor monk, worn with
penances and hard toll, was sent upon some
business connected with his convent to the Pa
pal Court. He crossed the Alps full of faith,
and stirred by strong excitement. He was a.

Scarcely had he entered Italy when he was

For the Spectator.
The Memory of our Deceased Soldiers.

Whilst we are contemplating upon the pass
ing scenes OF life, marking each moment as it
flies, and recording upon memory 8 pages the
changes incidental to our animated existence
may we not forget to pause a moment to reflect
upon those illustrious dead who fell in vindica-
tion OF their native SOIL Both the ties of ma
ture, and the bonds OF affection, demand that
we should cherish with high veneration the
memory of our brothers, our relatives, our
friends. We do not think it at all probable
that those dead ones have been forgotten for
how can we erase from memory the mental i'm
ages OF those brave and noble patriots who
chose death rather than submission.
Some one may say that this subject is too
painful to be recalled to mind and others per-
haps, that it is matter of little consequence
whether the dead are remembered or forgotten :;
but l would think it much more painful to
know that We were to die and be forgotten. =
Let US then in our minds eye review the battle
fields where the heroes who fought for justice
are sleeping their last sleep Of death. Our
dead where are they? Would you seek their
last resting place? Then go to the plains of
Manassas and you will find them there sleep
ing in all the honor and glory of the slain SOL
dier. Visit the batte-felds of Fredericksburg
and Charlottesville, and you will find them
there. Go to the banks of the James and call
for our dead, and the murmuring waters of
that stream as they glide swiftly along, on their
way to the sea, will respond to your CALL and
gently proclaim that our dead are resting there.
Survey the fields of thousand battles, and
you will perceive there. where many of our
friends and comrades are quietly reposing.
Sleep on, brave soldiers, and take your rest
where the battle-cry disturbs you not and the
clash of arms is never heard. You have fallen
in defence of your homes and 6resides, and we
humbly trust that high Heaven will reward you
for your gallantry and in memory of the slain
may it be inscribed upon the hearts of the liv-
ing-Dulce ct decorum est pro patria naori.
Sleep on, brave soldiers take your res.
Where the din of battles cease,
And the war trump's sound disturb you not,
THERE MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.
=, The winds a tale of you unfold
The streamlets murmur too
The leaflets tremble in the breeze
In MEMORY OF YOU.
Well not forget to mourn your loss
And speak of you with pride;
Brave soldiers of the southern cross,
How NoBLY YOU HAVE DIED.
Sleep on brave soldiers sleep in peace,
As quiet as the dove;
Till Heavens trump shall call you home,
To BETTER WORLDS ABOVE.

This Presbytery met a Covington at u clock

ed with sermon by the Moderator, Rev. ID.
W. Shanks, founded on Isaiah SIC. lv.
The Presbytery was then constituted with
prayer, and on calling the roll, there were found
to be present seven ministers and FIVE elders
The Prcsbytery then proceeded to the election
of officers, when Rev. w. w. Houston was
elected Moderator, and Rev. w. F. Wilhom
Temporary Clerk.
The next morning, several members made
their appearance and gave excuses for tardiuess
The Presbytery then elected Rev. TmW.
Hooper as Stated Clerk of the Presbytery, in
the place of Rev. j. p. Smith, removed to East
Hanover Presbytery
In the afternoon session, resolution declar-
ing it expedient to divide the Synod was referr-
ed to a committee, consisting of Rev. D. w.
Shanks, Rev. P. I. Penich and Elder L. Mont
gomery.
In regard to the request of Dr. Ramsay for
the ordination of Licenlate E. H. Barnett, the
Presbytery resolved that it is inexpedient and
unconstitutional to do so.
The report of the Committee on Foreign
Missions was read, giving the whole amount
contributed 5000 %, and from the Sunday
Schools $lOS r. This report was approved
The application of certain members of the
Covington Church for separate organization
was discussed and it was resolved that the
Presbytery deem it inexpedient at this time to
grant the application.

Lost AlI-But Still Rich.

A good old Quaker, OF Philadelphia, in one
week, lost his warehouse by fire and his two
ships at sea with valuable cargoes Some of his
worldly acquaintances hastened to condole with
him. They found him by his parlor freside.
A broad brimmed beaver shaded his face of
serenest aspect, and clad in modest drab, he
sat in all the dignity of man who feels his SON
ship to God. We are come to condole ,cith
thee, said they, for aoe haze heard that He
aoho made thee rich, hath made thee poor again."
At this, his thoughts darted to Heaven, and
joy spread in a smile over his face; while with
sweetest accents, he thus replied "My friends,
1 am still rich, very rich. "
Thinking that he spoke of hidden treasures,
of bonds and notes, and money bags long con-
cealsd, they congratulatingy exclaimed -
Aye ho@ fortunate Well, we were told that
thee had lost all. -
'True," he replied; "Ihare lost all
AYE why neighbor, thee speaks paradoxes
thee hast lost all, and yet art rich Prithee,
how can that be?''
My friends, I have not lost God, and pos
sessing Him, o, do not possess all things p
The world was getting between us, and He has
taken it away only that He might press me
nearer to Himself"
