The Puritans at work.
--In our columns to day will be found the announcement by the American Tract Society of a publication of Oliver Cromwell's Bible, a compilation in use by the Purism army, with the preface of the Society to the present edition.
We have often observed that this contest is a revival of the old war between given to change." Quotations of a similar character might be indefinitely multiplied from both the Old and New Testaments.

So that the American Tract Society will perceive that the Cavaliers might have got up a Bible as well as Cromwell, and that the result would have illustrated the appropriateness of their quotations.

soldier
Printed at London, by G. B. and R. W., for G. C. 1643.
Preface to this Edition.
Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of the English Commonwealth from 1653 to his death in 1655, began his milit career in 1642.
In 1643 appeared this little manual for his soldiers.
Though not prepared by Cromwell, it was published with his approbation, and was in general use among his soldiers.
Cromwell's Cromwell's success was due in no small degree to the strict morals and rigid discipline of his army, and to the inspiring power of religion.
He declared: "Truly I think he that prays best fights best.
I know n hey never were beaten, but whenever they were engaged against the enemy they beat continually." Cromwell's Ironsides, as they are usually called, fed their faith upon God's word, went into battle with

Yankee courage.
We have never been of the number of those who doubted the courage of the Yankees as a people.
We have often been compelled to express our dissent from the general opinion on this subject, and to hold that it is not only wrong in itself, but impolitic thus to underrate an enemy.
Among the many faults of the Puritan breed, want of courage was never ascribed to them by anybody.
Oliver Cromwell and his Roundheads were as pestilent citizens and as good soldiers as England ever produced.
Their offshoots in America were of the same character — fanatical, cruel, intolerant, devilish, but hardy and courageous.
When such men are to be fought, it is as unpast to our own soldiers as to themselves to stigmatize them as cowards.
That agreeable diffusion only tends to diminish the vigilance and energy of our soldiers, and robs them of the glory which their victories deserve.
That the Yankees are not as military a race as the people of the South, is evident enough, and th

New England philanthropy.
The pretensions of the New England people to superior philanthropy and benevolence are contradicied by their whole history, from the time of Oliver Cromwell to the present hour.
If there is any quality of the heart that they are more deficient in than any other, it is precisely that to which they make the loudest claims.
This tendency is characteristic of human nature in general, and of Poritan nature in perticular.
The great hobby of Exeter Hall and of Boston is sympathy with suffering humanity, whilst, in both countries the professional philanthropists are the hardest-hearted and the most thoroughly selfish, and, in general, sensual and licentious men, in the whole population.
We have sometimes thought that, in this fallen world, everything and everybody wear a musk; that men of virtue and sincerity, of truthfulness and honor, of generality and humanity, are unrecognized and unappreciated, whilst mere pretenders to those qualities are held in

The Life of Oliver Cromwell.
Among the other Christmas books for sale in this city is the life of that holy martyr and beatified saint, Oliver Cromwell.
A most devout and edifying book for the reading of Christian children!

A most devout and edifying book for the reading of Christian children!
We are surprised that this choice volume is not accompanied by the Life of Abraham Lincoln and the Life of the late lamented John Brown, whose soul is now marching on in the track of Cromwell.

Three kindred spirits, Old Noll pre-eminent of the three in those qualities which distinguish them from the rest of the human race, they ought to be united in the memory of their admirers, as they are likely to be in that shining immutability which awaits such characters in another state.
In all soberness, have the Yankees taken Richmond, that the life of that hideous Puritan, Oliver Cromwell, is to be thrust into our faces at this season of the year?
In the name of all that is pure and merry in these holidays, keep the sour visage of the Puritan fled out of
