sodts3 naK enO1gh."-1t is sfci beyond
all dispute, that those who are consider.
cd the unconver,ed, or Bon-elecs, are
generally to be depended OH for the sup.
port of such as have, for years been con-
sidered ministers Of the gospel. The
meeting-Eouses are chiefly built with the
money which belonged TO such as are
denominated goats and were it not for
this part of the people, what poor con-
dItlon the sheep would be in
1t is curiosity, the manner in which
the goats milk is obtained.
Money is wanted to make the parson
life member of the bible society the
goats must be MIXED, and soon the la.
dies produce the money. A pious young
man presents himself. as one called into
the ministry, but is not able TO obtain an
honorable education at WaterViM Proof
denee, or Cambridge. Milk the goats is
the next step; men, women and children
are called, and the help is stripped from
them, and the pious young men have
SoatS' InhK enough.
Missionaries are needed among the
heathen in VermON, Maine, and K. IS.
land The goats are MIXED again, and
the missionaries are spreading their fame
in all directions. A brother clergyman
is dismissed, 'because no man has hired
him )" the goats are MIXED, ana he is Oh
mission at 20 or SO dollars per month.
A mission is agreed OH in Asia, and
the goats are re>orted to, who support
the friends Tor "a years; at last all this
fails, and what next? MIR. Wayd ap.
pears and tells the owners Of the goats,
nothing can be done unless college is
built in Asia, and some of the natives
made ministers.--'The goats are called
up, and ten thousand dollars is collected !;
the goats are left to feed on the high hills,
until another milking time returns, when
their empty pals will be again presented,
to be repIenished from the same source,
These milking vessels are placed where
ever the goats are likely to resort--oD
the bureau, on the merchants counter,
in the muSeunl-ior this purpose, TO milk
out the abundance Of these mich kline.
They have drawn from the goats, money.
hats, shoes, stockings, shirts, and gowns,
sweet!meats, aid other luxuries, with
missionary. fields, corn, potatoes, sabba-
gss, pumpkins, &c. Sc.
! All these things have been done, in
addition to stripping for watch seals, and
the estates Of old bachelors and maids,
when death shall put an end to their
wants.
According TO modern pulpit doctrine,
these poor goats are to be rewarded for
all their milk $50 good for the elec,) with
a portion with the devils and damned
souls, III eternal misery, where they shall
see the "yevy elect" who are fed upon
their milk, and by it nourished, and pre-
pared for glory everlasting.
1t is matter of consolation to the
friends Of humanity, that such goats
milk is becoming scarce; and this rage
for missionaries, which is kin 10 the old
CrusadeS, is subsidhg. while the glori-
Gus gospel, which includes all men as
sheep, to be returned to the great shep.
herd and bishop of souls, is spreading in
all directions, to the Joy of men, and the
glory Of God Amen.

who lives near me, to walk ~ my field one
evening, IN tho third year, end see my Indian

raw so many stalks bearingiwo ears each in

find sufficient oumber Of stalks with two

tinued this mode Of selecting seed corn,
since 1915, and have heard many persons,
who have viewed my corn crops, say they
never saw so many stalks, bearing each two
