THE VILLAGE PREACHER.
BY CuAs. MINER, ESQ.
"Fathcr, forgive them."

-Go, proud infdel-search the
ponderous tones Of heather learning, ex-
plore the works of Confucius-examine
the precepts of Seneca, and the writings
OF Socrates. Collect all the excellencies
OF the ancient and modern moralists, and
point to a sentence equal to this simple
prayer of the Saviour. Revoied and in.
suited suffering the groscst indignities
crowned with thorns, and led away to die,
ne-annihilating curse breaks from his
breast. Sweet, placid asthe aspiring of
mother for her nursing, ascends prayer
of mercy for his enemies, "Father forgive
them." o, 1t was worthy of its orr gin,
and stamped with the brig hit seal of truth
that his mission was from heaven!
Acquaintances have you ever quarrel
ed? Friends have you differed? If he
who ispure and perfect forgaye his bitter
est enemies, do you well to cherish your
anger!-Brothers, TO you the precept is
imperative; you shall forgive not seven
times, but seventy times seven!
Husbands and wives, you have no right
to expect perfection in each other. To
err is the lot of humanity. Illness will
sometimes make got. petuIent, andsdisap.
pointlnent rulfles the smoothest temper
Guard, beseech you, with unrenitted
your passions; controlled, they
are the genial heat that warns us along
the way of lie-ungoverned, they are
consuming fires. Let your strife be one
of respectful attention, and conciliatory
conduct. Cultivate, with care, the kind
and gentle affections of the heart. Plant.
not, but eradicate the thorn that grows in
your partners path. Above ALL let no feel
ing of revenge find harbor within your
breast; let the sun never 60 down on your
anger. A kind word-an obliging action
If it be trihing concer-has an power
to the harp of David, in calm
ing the pillows of the soul. s4
Revenge is as incompatible withhap-
pinessas hostile to religion. Let him whose
heart is black with malIce,. and studous
Of revenge, walk through the fields when
clothed with vcrdue or. adorned with flow
his eyes there is, no beauty; the
flowers to him exhale no. fragrance. Dark
aashis soul, nature is robed in deepest sa-
Bile. The smiles Of beauty lights not up.

ON MANURING CORN IN THE
Hill

In 1922 | carried out the manure from
my stable and dropped in the drill furrow
ona portion of field of. drilled corn.-
The difference in the produce was evident
ly very great between the manured and
unmanured portions of fields; but, being
from home at gathering time, ! did not
ascertain that difference by measurement.
The advantage of the manure was so
great that / concluded to be avaled of it
for second crop On the same ground.-
In 1923 | opened the same drill furrows.
and planted corn as before. The differ
ence, though not quite equal, was still
very strkin g. Totcst it, gathered twelve
rows from each portion, planted at the
same time, cultivated in the same manner,
on land of the same quality. The 12
manured rows measured 33 bushels, 7
gallons, and 6pints, the unmanured rows
measured "a bushels, 3 pints, being be.
tween one third and one half more for the
manure the second year.
In another experiment manurei in the
hill portion, that had been cleared ten
or twelve years before the balance of the
field, thinking to make it equal to the fresh
er ground. The difference, however; IN
favor OF the manured part was so great
as to induce a measurement of an acre of
each. The result was noted at the time,
but the paper is misIaid, SO that the exact
amount cannot be given My recollection
is, that the manured acre of older and
worn out land produced over one third
more than the acre of the fresher, of as
good or better quality of land. The
quantity of manure was about half a
spadeful to the hill.
Every one knows that manuring aug
ments the crop, yet Few ever take the
trouble OF ascertaining to what amount.
These experiments are given to- enable
farmers 10 estimate the value of their ma
nure. ~

MISCELLANEOUS.

Extraordinary case of kidnapping by
the Aboltionists of Boston. Great Er-
citement.-We yesterday received from
the Office of the Boston Daily Mail the
following slip, containing exclusive lntor-
nation of an extraordinary attempt made
by. the abolitionists of that city to rescue
a runaway slave. The slip is dated Sa-
turday, June 5, and reads as follows
A complaint was entered at the Police
Court, in this city, by the Rev. Charles
) Tory, a leading abolitionist, against James
s. Rigging, master mariner, and Ben Hlg-
gins, mate of the schooner Wellington,
trading between Boston and Newbern,
North Carolina, for forcibly sezlng and
coniining negro slave on board that YES
sci, named John Torrance, with the IN
tention Of sending him to Newbcrn, N: G.,
whence he had been brought by the Well
lington, having secrcted himself among
the cargo in the hold, without the knowl-
edge or consent of the captain or mate.
This morning Mr.. Ben Higgins. the
mate, was arrested and brought before
Justice Rogers for examnaton-thc other
defendant having escaped.
A large number of witnesses were call
ed and examined, on the part OF the Go
vernment, and evidence was produced,
showing deep laidplan, on the part OF the
Abolitionists, to raise an excitement out OF
a case that might otherwise have been set
tied without difficulty.
R. Fl. Dana, Jr., Esq, the author of
1.-TWO Years before the MasR appeared
as counsel for the Rev. DR.. Torrey. the
prosecutor and FrankiinDexter, Esq. U.
Z IS. Attorney, appeared in his private ca
pacity as counsel for the defendant.
One day the captain was'going on
: shore, and seeing some men in boat
near the Wellington, he Informed them
that he feared his men might get into a
mutiny and attempt to escape, and if they
should, he wished to prevent their reach
ingthe slave.
He had been absent but short time,
when the slave escaped or was set at iber.
Ity, jumped overheard, and cndeavored
TO swim ashore. The men in the boat
picked him up, and returned him to the
schooner, although he begged hard for
liberty, and offered $500 to get on shore.
The captain then put the slave in chains
-one on each .arm-fastened down the
matches, procured six loaded muskets, to
defend himself, as he said, against the
abolitionists, as was apprehended. He
also placed alarge quantity ofpowder un-
derthe deck, and swore that he would
blow the vessel up, if a rescue should be
attempted.
4 The abolitionists declined paying $500
for the slave, and measures were no doubt
in progress to effect the release Of the
slave when the Wellington disappeared,
and that is the last that has been seen or
heared of her, or the slave.
M The greatest excitement prevails in
Boston on this subject The Mail of Mon
day will contain afull report ofthe examl-
nation.

A Warning to Young Men IN Busi-
ness We saw last week, in our most
public street an illustration of the degra-
ding effects of drinking, that should speak
a solemn warning to cur. yonng men.
1t was man apparently about forty, with
a broad sword in his hand, staggering in
front of the stores, and trying to play the
soldier, though really exhibiting the drunk
en- idiot for the amusement of those, who
were disposed to look upon his folly and
his shame. He was truly an object of
pity form spite of bis bloated form, and
vacant, blood-shot eye and hair premature
Iy white, there was about him something
that seemed to tell of better days.
Whoisshe E? We asked. He was, a
few years ago, clerk in respectable mer-
cantilehouse here-a first rate Book-keep-
er, and possessed knowledge ofbusiness,
which, if it had been properly directed.
would have led him to high rcspectability
and wealth. "With half his knowlcdg ge
of business, remarked a gentleman, "many
a man has acquired afortune." But in
stead Of the wealth, rcspectability and
influence, he could have gained, what's he,
and what has he? A poor wandering
drunkard, publicly exposing his shame;
bankrupt in character, mind and property!
And what, we may ask, has wrought this
fearful change in his condition and pros
poets? One short sentence explains it all

BR. ARCHER AND BANK.-lt will BE-
remembered thst Mr.. Senator Archer has
declared himselfin opposition to Bank
IN any form whatever. l'ne Lynchburg
Virginian very opporiunely calls the Sc
nator's attention 20 a dilemma in which
he has involved himself, as follows:
Mr.. Archer has, OF the present ses-
sion Of Congress, voted for the repeal Of
the Sub Treasury--he has time and again
denounced the connection oil the fes
Banks with the General Government
and now he declares that lie is opposed to
a National Bank. VIII he tell us what
scheme he is in favor off We hold that
he is bound so TO DO. He has 20 right to
pull down and destroy, unless he IS pre-
pared to put Up some system in lieu Of
that destroyed"
This is certainly poser to Mr.. Archer.
II is but fair that he should be brought up
and made to g define his position" These
against every thing Statesmen should be
singled out cow and then, ard the charac.
ter Of the service they render portrayed.
4 legislator who essays TO mar every
thing that may be projected, without sug-
costing, or even enquiring oil himself what
could bttter supply the nation s wants, had
much better be IN that situation where he
could only mar his own personal Interests
deprived OF the power to do material
injury to those Of the nation. We do not
mean to point TO Mr.. Archer as man
bearing this general character but as his
course touching the Bank, savors OF IT, IN
50 much is he amenable to these remarks.
