When friendship's ties are formed in truth,
,Naught e'er their bond should sever;
When opening life, glowing, youth,
And other charms beside, forsooth
We 'll oherish them forever.
Soon, Lathe dearest ties that hind

With objects dearest to the mind;
:Before chill deathmust sever.

above Natchez. Having left this port, the
same dreary, dismal waste of woods and
water appeared until, far in the distance
before us, the great cotton mart of the State
of Mississippi came in view. Then what a
stir on board I The day was fine. Almost
every passenger went on deck to get a sight
of the notorious " Natchez under the Hill."
How astonished we were to find only a few
houses here, where once there Stood a large
town. The mighty river in spite of human
power and ingenuity, has washed it almost
all away.. Natchez proper is beautifully
situated on the top of a high, hill. A fine,
wide road leads up to it from the town below,
where all boats land. .Our captain...told us
hewould remain here fifteen minutes.. Many
determined to climb the bluff and see the
town. We ninong the rest. Bat on land
ing and going ashore the task , seemed too
great for either the time or the reward.
We ran"Vigoronaly for a few rods up the
road and then stopped and turned again
toward the boat. We Met both ladies and
old' Dien' on their way up who rallied us on
'one want of 'perseverance. This was more
than we could bear. We jumped on a two
`muled cart driven by one of the stalwart,
sable sons of Ham • and standing up, put
'our leftarruaround hiss shoulders and told
"him if ever he drove fast up that hill to
drive so' now. He grinned a laugh fromnear
to ear, showing a set of ivory, clean and trim
enough to ohmic a dentist, and said, " Yes
sah, Pll do dat." : He jerked the:lines and
cracked his whip, and on we went, passing
all, excepting a few who had .gained the_
shore. first. We strolled about gathering
some flowers in a wild pack on the brow of
the hill, from which a fine view of the river
for miles, both "
above and below, can be had.
So all came up • and whilst - wet were. busy
seeing'wbat could be seen, the whistle of
the boat is heard, to loose cable and - be off.
Then what a scene ! Ladies half out Of
breath in clinibing the'hill, had to return`
without'much rest. Each one took to his
heeli down the road as fast agile could run.'
Butthe greatest race , was between a rotund,
adipose' D D.', of Penzisylvanity and a- snug, ,
slim, deer•shanked Divine of Missouri. The;
former came off victor, as he had the ,force:
of gravity, on his side, which always enables
a fat man to run well down hill. The good
people of .Natchez .enjoyed the sport finely;
and taken all in, all, this was an exceedingly
agreeable_ episode ,in our long monotonous
journey from St. Louis.
Allow me to say here, that, the three great
tributaries of the Mississippi are the. Mis
souri, %in, and Red river.. The corn region
is below the first, the:' cotton region below
the second, and the sugar cane region below
the third.
On the . mor - row, - after we left Natalie; we
came into one of the finest countriewthe eye
ever'rated'upon. ' From Baton - Rouge down
-to this city the whole land on both aides of
the river is a glorious Eden. To. give the
reader a proper description of 'it, or one even
approximating the reality, is an imimpossibility, espeeitilly3Oss prosy 'pen as ' , Mine. • It is
so surpassingly lovely,that one can scarcely
realize OW. the curse of God ever rested on
it. Ihad thought I had seen•much beauti-'

of the East, and in the' grand prairies' of
the West, but the cane fields of the South

THE-EARTH-MOUNDS OF WISCONSIN
MR: EDlTOlLl—Hitherto my letters have
related. More to - the living interests' of our
State; should they now be somewhat more
miscellaneous, and even mystical and specu
lative; I hope they pay not be found unin
leresting, or altogether unworthy of your
ecrlunins: The eitbjeet of our Indian
HounAs (as they are : usually called,) is now
'exciting-a more thorough investigation; and
as I live in the,, midst of them—having
found.no less than Azar inany own garden—
rhave been led to pay, considerable atten
tion to whatever has yet been printed, moan
now, be observed, on, this "deeply;. obscure
subject.
',Reliable information, historical OT tradi
tienak on this 'subject, seems, indeed, to be
out of the, question. The present race of
natives uniformly say that theyknow ' noth
ing about them, except that•their fathers
always told`them they were, built by a very
ancient pepple. The only thing in the form
'of 'a definiteiraditiOn I have met with, was
this by an aged Indian, now living : That
lie had been told they were built for a
penance. When an Indian had sinned, he
was required by some , superior (whether
priest or chief, he did not tell us,) to bring
so.. many aacks of earth, and pile it up in
a given, The t only, thing , layering
this tradition is that these minds are evi
dently of earth brought from a distance.
They are generally a lean white soil, and en
tlirciPlitTerent from . that around timm.
the whole idea savors too much of the early
missioiaries; and i s . altogether „too
Modern for the origin , of , these -works.
Again, some have,. supposed a natural
origin for' these mounds. Springs - break

and mistiness, and it has, bean, suggerited

formations. But, besides the other consid
erations arising from the unmistakable marks
of human design in these forms, it is quite
a sufficient objection to this theory that the
springs in question are in our hollows, or
low grounds, while the mounds are on
ridges, high grounds, and the banks of our
larger streams. One of the most marked
geoogical features in our State is the alter
nate ridges and swales, uniformly running in
a North-East and South-West direction,
clearly showing a drift flood of former ages;
now our earth-mounds are, never in these
swales, but on the intervening ridges.
My own settled impressions concerning
these works, therefore, is, that they are of
human .origin, in very remote ages. . They
are of considerable variety of forms, and
were seemingly intended for different uses.
I have been able to divide them, to my own
satisfaction, into et least three classes.
I. Tai MONUMENTAL, or Burying
Mounds. These are generally conical, and
.of_ greater or less height and dimeneions, ac
cording„,,apperently, .te, the , greeter, OF less
degrees of honor , intended for. the. buried,
persons. We: know it is aceording to the.
custom 'of all ages to rear such monuments
to the henored dead, and these are generally
found, on being opened,- to contain skele
tons,: pottery,. and other similar, relies. One
opened in myosin; premises contained only
pottery and pieces of - charred wood; bnt
there might have been a skeleton,, now ut
terly decayed. That these conical-mounds
were not merely found, and then used for
burying, as ka&,been sometimes suggested,
is sufficiently evident .froin this : that the
remains are notin the sides, but : at they bot
tom, and precisely in the centre.
II OASTRAMBNT.AL, or for Military pur
poses. Some mark a complete encampinent;
quadrangular. and, with regular gateways.
While I hive seen many others that were
mere breastworks, or a strait line of defeese,
from a few rode to . one-fourth of a. Mile .in
length. These. ; are always, I believe, on
overlooking beighte, or on =the banks of
large streams. To'see a succession of these
works on the 'opposing banks of 'a stream,
one, cannot but imagine the swarthy com
batants ,concealed behind and hurling their
missiles across at each other, or watching the
approach of the, more distant enemy. -
and . principally;theiti is's:large class
of these works,which i cannot but consider
SYMBOLICAL Orfhieroglypkfx. These are of
different shapes and degrees of elevation,
and represent a great variety of animals.
The Lizzard is frequently found; the Tor
toise, the See Pent, the Buffalo, the Bear, with
some others—so plainly marked as hardly to
render it possible to mistake the intention:
Now my own view of these, I have not met
with elsewhere; but it is clearly this,- that
these various shapes are intended for tokens,
or symbols of different tribes or . nations.
There are certain localities which would be
much visited by different tribes, on account
of their desirableness for fishing, game, and
other agreeable& Noti what more natural
than that these visitors should leave their sign--
manuals there, to the intent that other vie•
itors from their tribe might recognize them ?
Why not as natural for them as that a By
ron. should scratch his name on ItL rock of
Mont Blanc, or an American traveler on the
Pyramids?
These supposition exhaust all the differ
ent classes of Indian mounds. which have
come tinder my observation; ,but there may
be others, and-there is no doubt that the
more the subject is investigated, the greater
will be the light thrown upon it What we
want, is a scientific and, more perfect col
lection of all the facts, and then a full and
careful deduction of the most probable re
sult& Such a survey has indeed been com
menced, and a further proseoution of the
subject belongs to and is, now I believe
promised, by the Smithsonian. Institute at
Washington.
In the maritime we cannot but feel a
sentiment of'mingled awe and , sympathy, as
we think Of this whole subject. Standing
on one of these elevations, hoary with un
recorded ages, and looking over a country
so rich, so populous and progressive as ours,
I cannot but ask what hae become of the
original builders of these monuments and
what had they, been had letters and the
hopes of the 'Gospel come in time to their
aid ? WISCONSIN.

Letter 11.—A Sum*ary:
lam the way, the truth, and the life-Imm xry
6.
Mr DEAR FRIEND :—A series ofjetters
was devoted to justification. This is a very
important subject, and we Should endeavor
to understand it. Let us look at it briefly
again and take a summary review of it. Sev
eral things are to be remembered; among
them, these :
First. God is holy and just, and we have
offended him. Because he is holy, he hates
sin; because he is just, he will punish it.
His!-justice is as dear to!him as his mercy—
as dear to him as any of his attributes, and
he will never sacrifice it. He will by no
means clear the guilty without a satisfaction
to his justice. I We are guiltz; we have
Sinned against God, and are condemned by
his law; we have offended God, that holy
being who hates sin, that just being who
will punish sin, that being of holiness, jus•
tire, and truth who has pronounced sentence
of eternal death on transgressors and whose
word can never fail.
W.M.F.
Hence, in the second place, we need jus
tification, becianie we are sinners and. Con
demned; The sentence of condemnation
Must he removed, or we must perish for
ever; a sentence of acquittal, of complete
justification, must be pronounced, or we can
never, enter heaven. But how can sinful
man be justified ? How can the guilty find
acceptance with that holy being whose jus
tice requires their punishment, and whose
truth is pledged to visit their transgressions
with eternal vengeance ? Wherewith shall
I come before the Lord, and bow myself
before the high God ? Shall I come before
him with burnt offerings, with calves of a
year old ? Will the Lord be pleased with
thousands of rams, er with ten thousands of
rivers of oil ?. Shall . I give my firsthorn for
my Arangression, the fruit ofMy body, for
the sia of my soul 2—Mic. vi : 6, 7. We
need justification, but how can man be just
:with God xxv : 4.
Not by works. We cannot be justified by
our works for three reasons :* One is because
we are sinners, transgressors of God's law;
the , law is broken ; it condemns us it
, r
can never justify, because no present or
future obedience can, atone for the past.
Another reason is, because ,as sinners our
hearts are wicked, our natures depraved,
and, hence, all we do is sinful; and
how can sinful works justify us before
God ? It can never be; because the Bible
so teaches: By the deeds of the law there
shall no flesh be justified.—llom. iu: 20.
There is no justification by works; the hope
of salvation by our 'deeds is a false and ruin
one hope I
No: the Bible method is far different.from
this, it is freely by grace, altogether of
grace. - 1 -Itom. 20-26. God's holiness
must be 'Maintained and illustrated; his ids:
tice must be satisfied and honored; his truth
must be vindicated and established; all his
perfeetions harmonized and glorified; and
this is done iethe scheme of redemption by
Jesus Christ. He is the legal Head of his
people, constituted so from eternity in the
covenant of grace; he in their nature stands
in their stead; (for "Christ to become our
federal head, had to take our nature;" Dr.
Breckinridge's Theology;) he meets the
demands of the law for them, both in its
precept and its penalty; he obeys and dies,
satisfies law and justice; and thus every legal
obstruction is removed, the holiness of God
is preserved untarnished and gloriously illus
trated, and his hatred of sin stands forth to
the view of the universe in the work of
Christ, his obedience and death ; thus, too,
the justice of' God is satisfied; the aw is
honored in the life of Christ; and its penalty
endured in his death when he was made a
curse for us; and as Jesus Christ has thus
made a full satisfaction to Divine justice, and
removed every legal hinderance ,to our sal
ration, God can now, be just, and yet justify
them that believe; and his truth, too, is vin
dicated, for the threatened_ penalty has been
inflicted on Jesus Christ,and exhausted by
him .who is the sinner's Surety and substi
tute. Asa lawYer acts for his clients, so Jesus
Christ, our legal Head, took our place and
died ter us, and in our stead , and room; thus
he made an atonement for our sins, and this
atonement is the only ground of justification.
God aCcepts sinners only on the ground of a
perfect_ righteousness; and that righteous-
ness has been wrought out by'Jesus Christ.
In this' righteousnest we become interested
by, faith. Faith "is the instrument, the hand
by which we lay hold upon Christ and be
come united lo him, and so have fellowship
with him in his righteousness. He is offered
to us as our Saviour ; when we receive him
by faith, when we accept and embrace him,
we are justified; his righteousness is imputed
to us, we are regarded and treated as just
and innocent, all our sins are blotted out, and
we have a Aide to everlasting life ; 'we are
accepted in the Beloved, we stand complete
in him, we are accounted righteous, regarded
and treated, as righteous, and Jesus Christ is
the Lord oar righteousness; he of God is
made unto us righteousness.—L Cor. i : 30,
31; Jer. xxiii : 6. This is "justification,"
an act of God's free grace, wherein he par
doneth all our sins, and acoepteth us as
righteous in his sight, only for the righteous
ness of Christ, imputed to us, and received
by faith alone."—Short. Cat., Que,s. 33.
" Nor is the righteousness of Christ ever
imputed. for justification, except to the elect;
nor ever received except by faith, which is
a grace of the Spirit peculiar to the renewed
soul."—See Dr. R. 3. Breckinridge's The
ology—The Knowledge of. God Objectively.
Considered. lam the way,• the truth, and
the life, 'says Jesus Christ. "Ifhe is the
way, then every other way is wandering; if
he is the truth, then every thing else is
error"; if he is the life, then all else is death."
—See Jacobus' Notes on the Gospels,. John
xiv : 6 • and John i : 11-13.
Now they who are born of God do receive
Jesus Christ as their Saviour and rest upon
him alone for salvation; and this is to be
lieve, this is faith, " a grace of the Spirit
peculiar to the renewed;'and ! here then is
salyation by faith and not by works—justifi-
Oatiee„ by faith—salvation by grace. And
regeneration is the beginning of the Chris
tian life . -the life of God in the soul of
man, and all the blessings and benefits of
salvation are connected with it. One of
these is justification. That we have consid
ered. Another is adoption. This is the
subject introduced by the words quoted from
John is 11-13; and this comes next in
order; for they who, are born of God and
receive Jesus Christ by faith, have power,
right, or privilege to become sons of God;
this is adoption ,• and let us now give our
attention to this matter. But of this in my
next; for the'present, adieu. The Lord bless
thee, and keep thee ; the Lord make his face
shine upon thee, and be gradious unto thee;
the'Lord lift up his countenance upon thee,
and • give thee peace.—Num. vi :

A True Woman.
" Buy an orange, ma'am," said a soft Ital.
Zan voice.. The two ladies made a demi
pause. " Please, ma'am, buy an orange,"
repeated the timid voice, pleadingly.
Miss Dainty Slipper raised her rich .'silk
in disgust, and moved on disdainfully. Her
companion, gazing a'moment at the sorrow
ful face of the fruit-seller, drew closer to the
half-clad, barefoot orange.girl, and, in a
tone of inexpressible sweetness and compas
sion, said :- "Yes, yes, my little one, that I
will. Give me• one!:
The poor girl endeavored to lift the basket
from her head, but the tiny arms trembled,
and seemed unequal to the effort.
You are tired, child; let me set it down,"
and the beautiful gloved hand of the noble
woman raised the burden from the bonnet
less head and placed it on the side..walk.
"Now rest your wee feet awhile; and here "
—she almost covered the palm of the ex
tended hand with a shining half-dollar.
The sad heart of the beggar-girl melted,
and the tears stole down her suuburned
cbeeks. "Oh, you are so good, ma'am, so
good," sobbed the child.
" Why do you cry, child? Why do you
cry? and - the angelic woman stooped down
and patted the uncombed head with her aris
tocratic hand.
" Oh, ma'am, my mother is dead, and my
father is sick and , can't work, and—antt—
no one cares for me."
The tender bosom of loveliness rose . and
fell, and rose again, and a pearl from the
heart's fountain drepped from the tips of her
long eyelaihes., " I care for you, indeed I
do. I have a. sweet baby myself, younger
than you. Give me another orange for her,"
and another glittering half-dollar found its
way amongst the oranges. The outcast
plaything of fortune hid her young face in
her fruit, while the peerless daughter of
beauty turned away, to conceal the glorious
soul that would speak through her face, and
rejoined her loitering and impatient friend:
God bless the noble-souled woman I Thou
didst thrill the chords of a heart, other than
that of the beggar-girl—a heart long un
tonehed by sympathy for its fellows. Thou
didst wake in one, who saw-thy deed of love
and heard thy words of pity, feelings to
which his , heart had been long a stranger.
"I know thy works and charity;" and thou,
oh, Dainty Slipper—thou supercilious, un
pitying Dainty Slipper—thou self righteous

Praying Better than Stealing
Some poor families lived near a large
wood wharf. In one of the cabins was a
man who, when he was sober, took pretty
good care of his family; but the grog.shoy
would get his earnings, and then they
suffered. In consequence of a drunken
frolic, he fell sick. The cold crept into his
cabin, and but one stick was left in his
cellar.
One night he called his eldest boy, z ohn,
to the bedside, and whispered something in
his ear. " Can't do it, sir," said John,
aloud. " Can't ; why not Y" . asked his
father angrily. " Because I learned at the
Sabbath School, ' Thou shalt not steal,' "
answered John. "And did you not learn,
" Mind your parents' too?" " Yes, sir,"
answered the boy. " Well, then, mind and
do what I tell you." The boy did, not
know how to argue with his father, for his
father wanted him to go in the night and
steal some sticks from the wood-wharf; so
John said to his father, " I can pray to
night for some wood; it's better.than steal
ing, I know." And when he crept up
into the loft where his straw bed was, he
did go to God with his pravers. He prayed
the Lord's prayer, which his Sabbath School
teacher taught him, only he put something
in about the wood, for he knew God could
give wood as well as " daily bread!'
The next noon when he came'home from
school, what do you think he caught sight
of, the first thing after turning the corner?
Half a cord of wood before the door—his
door. Yes, there• it was. His mother told
him the overseers of the poor sent it ; but
he did not know who they were. He be
lieved it was God; and so it.was.—Child's

Only One Brick Upon Another.
Edwin was one day looking >at a large
building which they were putting up just
opposite his father's house. He watched
the workmen from day to day, as, they car
ried up the brick and mortar, and then
placed them in their proper order. His
father said to him
" Edwin, you seem to be very much taken
up with the bricklayers; pray what might
you be thinking about? Have= you any no
tion of learning the trade ?"
" No," said Edward, smiling, "but I was
just thinking , what a little thing a brick is,
and yet that great house is built by laying
one brick upon another."
" Very true, my boy, never fo l rget it.
Just so it is with all great works. All your
learning is only one, little lesson added to
another. If a man could walk all around
the world; it would be by putting ode foot
before the other. Your whole• life will be
made up of one little moment after another.
Drop added to drop makes the 'ocean."
Learn from this not to despise little
things. Learn, also, not , to be discouraged
by great labor. The greatest labor becomes
easy if divided into , parts. You could not
jujnp over a mountain, but step by step
takes you to the other side, ,Do not fear,
therefore, to attempt great things. Always.
remember that the whole of the great build
ing is only one brick upon another.
Read an Haar a Day.
There was once a lad who at fourteen was
apprenticed •to a soap-boiler. One of his
resolutions was to read one hour a day, or at,
least at that rate, and he had an old silver
watch, left him by his uncle, which he
timed his reading by. He stayed seven
years with his master, and his master said
when he was twenty-one that he knew as
much as the . young squire did. Now let
us see how much time he had to read in
seven years, at the rate of an• hour a day.
It would be twenty-five hundred and fifty
five hours, which at the rate of eight lead
ing hours a day, would be three hundred
and nineteen days : equal to forty-five weeks,
equal to eleven months ; nearly a year's
reading. That time spent in treasuring up
useful knowledge would pile up a very large
store. I am sure it is worth trying. for.
Try what you can do. Begin now.—

For the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate.
• Barley Growing.
Mn. EDITOR:—Some time since there
appeared in the Banner and Advocate, an
article on the subject of barley, growing.
it). that communication it was our purpose to
call attention to the subject and to enlist in
its behalf some abler pen and older head
than we pretend to claim. In this connex
ion we may say that we feel truly grateful
to the Editor, for his approving reference to
our article in a short, conclusive and :Liman
swerable editorial. We were also, gratified
that our humble efforts have in some meas
ure arrested attention and produced a spirit
of inquiry among the farming community
as to the propriety and rooral:bearing of the
practice.
That farmers in this community have
hitherto devoted a large portion of their
farms to the production of barley, is apparent
to all. That it is cultivated not as an article
of domestic food either for man or beast,
but expressly for the use of the, brewer, is
equally apparent. And, moreover, in fre
quent instances farmers have contracted
with the, brewer to furnish a certain amount
of this grain for a stipulated number of
years. In other words they contract that a
large portion of their farms should be devoted
to the production of this peculiar kind of
grain, knowing that:it •would, through the
vender, be applied to the doubtful uses' for
which it is intended.
Now this practice is either right or it is
wrong. It cannot be neutral or indifferent.
If it is right, far be it from us to put any
obstruction in the way of honest industry;
or check the honest enterprise of the farmer.
If wrong, we feel it our duty to point out
wherein the error lies; and •if it can be
shown that we err and not they, we trust
that our remarks, if they have no other good
tendency, will,,at least, aid toward making
the path of duty more clear, so that ahe
who runs may read." A suggestion often
opens up a vast field for thought.
As observed in our former article barley
growing is not sinful per se; but if raised
as an article of domestic food is highly com
mendable. It is the motive . which actuates
the farmer in its production, with which we
have to do. Herein lies the doubtful fea
ture, and which indirectly }Merl illumined'
the brilliant halls of revelry throughout our
populous cities, to allure and entice the in
experienced feet of the untary with the
deceptive inducements of harmless drink
No one has any controversy with the
farmer who employs his fields in the produc
tion of wheat, corn, or any of the esculent
productions of the soil, inasmuch as they
enter into and form a part of the necessities
of our daily consumption. No person objects
to these common blessings; for without them
the sources of human enjoyment would be
dried up. The farmer thus employed, stand
ing in the furrow, tilling the broad acres of
his own fields, with a view to ministering to
the natural and legitimate wants of our
common humanity, is doing a great and be
neficent work; and deserves, and will receive,
the approbation of Him whose steward he
is; and he will have the benedictions of his
fellow creatures, whose circumstances in life
are such as to render them subjects of Chris
tian care and charity. 'Such an one is,
whether regarded so or not, a noble specimen
of humanity ; and though shrouded in a
tattered garb and presenting an uncouth
exterior, nevertheless, the elements of a
genuine and dignified manhood 'are within
him, and he bears upon his honest brow the
impress of a nobility more desirable than the
glittering brilliancy of an ephemeral royalty
or the prestige of power.
But the producer objects' that he has no
right to inquire beyond the mere production;
that it is no concern of his whether it shall
be converted into an article of food; or
whether it shall undergo fermentation and at
length foam in the spacious saloon, and there
slake the morbid thirst of some devotee of
Bacchus, who afterwards, in the darkness of
midnight, celebrates his orgies in some un
frequented alley. Can you take refuge be
hind such logic as this ? Can you dodge
responsibility in this way ? If so, then may
you furnish an invading army quartered in
your midst, with munitions of war for the
destruction of our common country; and yet
you make a pretence of acting in good faith
on the defensive. A pecuniary benefit would
indeed be received, but• it would be at the
expense of the general. good. Would not
such an one- be held culpable in the eyes of
the Christian community; and would not the
historian hand down his name to posterity
as a traitor to all that is honorable, upright,
patriotic, and religious. What would be
thought of the temperance lecturer who
urges reform, and, as opportunity offers,
would indulge in those excesses against which
he is inveighing? or, forsooth, furnish the
materials which keep the traffic on a living
basis ?
Those who act thus we hold to be repre
hensible ; and in somewhat the same light
must we view the farmer who lends his in
fluence to advance the cause of temperance,
while furnishing the material which induces
intemperance and opens up the ;flood gates
of iniquity to deluge the land , with crime
and its accursed concomitants. Religion
and morality are the corner stone and bul-
Wark of good society; and whatever. ener
vates these directly or indirectly, must be
regarded' as a public calamity. Now the
farmer, without intending it, contributes to
this end. True, he is not 'feeding an in
vading army, but an eternal foe which works
more destruction than arms—for it under
mines--the virtue of the people and conse
quently wrecks' every element of pure and
genuine prosperity. Arms may indeed par
alize the resources of a nation for a dime ;
but intemperance strikes - deeper, and vitiates
the moral regimen of society. .
But we must draw to a close. What moral
purpose is subserved by the production of
barley ? Who frequent the drinking halls
and spend their savings which necessity
requires-for the support of their families or
other benevolent objects? -It -is surely not
the virtuous and the wise.. The atmosphere
of such places has no attraction for them.
If the vending of malt liquors were dis
pensed with, the community would suffer no
loss; nor would it in any wise interfere with
the legitimate functions of good society.
Parents are ever solicitous for the welfare of
their children; A nor does this cease when
they leave the pd.iental roof. This solicitude
- follows them through the, labyrinths of so
ciety, even- to the': grave; and could they
accompany them through their youthful
wanderings, ever assisting with their experi-,
enee and advice, would they not warn them,
with all the fervor of parental affection, to
avoid the fumes of drink and to enter not
there.
To, the Christian .'fanner. we would say,
Are you quite certain that rib responsibility
attaches to you in regard to this? And will
your practice square with the precepts of
the Golden Rule ? Do you, in, view of your
moral obligations, feel at liberty to use =the
good thinge of this life without reference to
future considerations ? Do yon realize the
important truth that " the earth is the Lord's
and the fullness thereof ?" And that yon
are but stewards, holding in trust that which
He has committed to your care. Like the
rich young man, you may have great pos
sessions ; but these ' you are under moral
obligations to devote to the glory of God
and the comfort of his creatures. The pro
duets of your farm should have direct refer
ence to this end. Every man has a mission
to perform, and his destiny to fulfill. This
is especially the case with the farmer; be
cause he stands at the helm and holds within
his grasp the reins of society. He can
wield this for good or evil. Through him
flow all those common blessings that irrigate,
so to speak, the different ramifications of
social life. To him the poor look as the
guardian of earth's bounties. These our
Saviour says, you have with you always; and
so it is. Every community has its poor,
struggling, not for a competence, but for a
meagre subsistence. They require cheap
food, cheap clothing, &e., and if two stalks
of barley are made to grow instead of one
of wheat or corn, let the advantage accrue
to the poor man.
How sublime and soul.cheering to con
template the cultivated fields, waving their
golden, luxuriant treasures planted by the
Christian husbandmanovith the sole aim of
ministering to the welfare of the destitute
and to alleviate the wants - of God's hungry
poor. Such a consummation would be a
foreshadowing of the better time to come.
To inaugurate this era is the object of these
suggestions. BETHANY.
Setting Fence Posts.
We hear frequent complaints, of the per
ishableness of fence pests set in the ordina
ry way. And to the suggestion that the
lower end of the posts should be charred, it
is replied that, while charring benefits the
outside of the timber, it cracks it open, so
that water penetrates the wood still further,
and causes a rapid decay in the interior.
Let us then make another suggetitio'n.
Char the lewer end of the post for eighteen
inches or two feet, so that about six inches
of the charred part will be above the surface
of the ground. Have in readiness a kettle
of hot coal tar, (a cheap:artiele,) and plunge
into it the lower end of each post ; or apply
the tar with a brush, taking pains to get it
into the crevices. A, sfeonci application ia
desirable, as soon as the first becomes dry,
and will make the tiinber water-proof for
many years.
