Who is to blame, friend Hoyt, for the non-arri val of the Intelligencer at thipffice. Errats. ' In the notice ,of the preliminary meeting, last week, two errors occurred in the remarks-offered by Rev. J. J. Brasdy. The words "proud" and "free" acceptance, &c,. should have read 'fiank' and 'full'. The error was in the printer-the penmanship being delicate, in the haste to put it up. the errors oecurred. We publish the ire amble as corrected "The war which for the past four years has ravaged the country, aZ4 iiflicted great los and ijry on the people, being now -over, and the country ' left in an eahansted and suffering condit;ou, it es ti , - as a people, to concert and adopt aucei measures as may promise to de. liver the country; as seedily as possible, from its present condition of eibarrassment and dis tress. And .whereas, in the Judgment of this meeting, the cdurr di action which promises mst.e bectually to bring about this result is a fraakabd -full acceptapce on the part of the ". people, o(the state of 4dn p which the disastrous ermnati's of the war brought upon us, and trp a'sognition, without reserve, of the authority " of the Constitutio:t and laws of the United States, and the-expression 4f oe readiness henceforth to act the part of good citizens." Wasted Ioence. frow speouraging it is to the preacher, after a week's labor, mental and physical, in preparing his Sunday sermon,:to -stand before a nodding, listless congregation; and break unto them the bread of life. Pearls thrown away, .bread cast * upon the.waters, never to return, or lovs labor lost; what is more trying, more humniliating ? how many there are who lose every v:ord that is * ~ uttered, who hear hia voice, know when hescomn -*menbes, and sit as if on tho'rns'till he closes, who cannot repeat the text,five inutes afrer its read, or tell:the book, chapter'or verse fr'om which it is taken. -A remarkable illustrgtion of this~ fact was exhibited ot last Sabbath. A party of eight * -or ten met at a neighbor's house, after service ; a variety of topics were discussed ; conversation * lagging, the morning's serneon was introduced * and the remark made th'.t it was a fine one. Uni fortunately for the credit of the party it was a-k ed, "#1bat was the text ?" With shIameee confess * no one co'uld answer, not one remembered what it was, or where from. Those who "sat under the droppings," and were refreehed, will know where~ the allusion points, by being.'told that the text as found in Phillippiane, 2d ebap. 16th ferse, *- reads "Holding forth, the word of life" .And well was it held forth, but its beams failed of en tgre effedt upon the inattentive and the nolders. Did we have to preach, we'd stir them up every * few minutes by shouting, wake ye sleepers, watch sagn what of the night ?

His country calls-to her kPha.stes, For her girds on his sword, And nobly rn'shes to the field To met the invading horde The foernen fly, the victory's won; Green laurels-crown his brow, And thoagh.his'blood bedews the ground, His heart is joyful now. The clash of arms awhile does cease, Awhile our hero rests, And at the feet of beauty's queen, He pleads loves' fond requests. A sigh,,a blast, her heart is his! -Ah! happiness supreme ! Hi3 hopes are crowned, the goal is wor, Fulfilled his wildest dream, But oh! again war's horrid'din Resounds -hroughout his land, And in the battles firm array, How proudly he does stand ! A shout, a charge 'mid cannon's roar' And shrieks of bursting shelt, - The day was ours-but sad the cost - ror here our Drayton fell! As hero lived-as one he died, And fell with g lory.crowned Fond sisters weep a brother slain, Heart breaking sobs rgsou4d. A father's soul with grief is wrung, Bis darling boy'is gone The pride of fife death stole-away And lefi their hearts forlorn. - And she, who gained his youthful love, And crowned his manhood's joy, The keenest pangs the wretched feel Arg her's without ailor. She loves not life unshared with him To whom she gave her trust, But shrouds.b er soul in darkest gloom Till dust returns to dust.
