Acceptable Worship.
P 0 E 7 R Y
BY WILLIAM H, BURLElGH

Not worthiest is his worship who afar
Retired from crowds, in meditation deep
Passes his days beyond the maddening sweep
Ofstormy passions and the angry jar
Of clashing interests, that naught may mar
His inward peace, though all his hours are glvel
To prayer and penitence and dreams of heaven
Nor his whose set responses loudest are
In the full temple, when the many kneel
To utter forms the spirit does not feel
For not in words, though breathed from tongues
of fame,
Is the full heart of love revealed the best
Nor in unuttered thoughts, that fill the breast
With quiet, and the bounding pulses tame.
ACrIoN-untring, earnest, bold and free,
Its impulse, Love-its object, Truth and Right
By holy zeal sustaned-by heavenly light
Directed ever, though thick darkness be
Over the earth, and men no longer see [this,
The souls great birthright - ACTION, such as
Is hottest worship,-and purer bliss
Attends the offering, than the devotee
Of forms can know. Words, offspring of the
brain, Evain-
High sounding, yet not heart born, are in
The heart turns loathing from them that hath
known
The baptism of the Spirit-turns to find
Its joy in Do1Ne-deemng thus His mind
Hath Christ, our head and great exemplar shown.
Woudst thou, then, offer, with willing mind,
A sacrifice acceptable to Him
Before whose throne adoring seraphim
Bend with yelled faces?-Labor for thy kind
Uphold the feeble and direct the blind
Reclaim the wanderng--the lost restore
And bid the erring go and sin no more
Live for humanity, ard thou shalt find
Peace which the selfish heart can never know,
Joys that from holy action only, flow,
Be bold for Truth--though all the world despise-
Be strong in Right though all the world OPP
pose
Be free in Love-though all men are thy foes
And God will smile upon thy sacrifice!

We were informed by the agent that he had

had been butchered in their drunken revels among
themselves, within the space of fourteen mouths !;

spring, early as circumstances will permit
SOW corn broadcast, say three or four
bushels to the acre, and as soon as it has
grown as high as it can be conveniently
turned under with deep working plow,
turn it under, and Immediately SOW an,
other crop in the same way, turni g that
under as before, but with medium pillow
run crossways of the previous furrow'
In the middle and southern States, three
crops can thus be turned under in one
season. 1t is believed that no system of
manuring or renovating, except the heav-
lest application of stable manure, COM
pare with this plan in its result. IF the
land be very poor the first crop will be
very light, but light as it may be it will
yet add considerable portion ofthe ele
ment of vegetable nutrition to the soil;
and the second crop will be greatly i'm
proved, and the third will be all that can
be desired. 1t is believed that in this
way four times as much improvement will
be effected in one season, as can be by
means Of clover in three or four years.
For this purpose farmers in the north
should use the tall kinds ofsoulhern corn,
as being of more rapid growth and furn-
ishing vastly more matter for the soil -

SMUT IN WHEAT. A gentleman near
Baltimore, has for several years been in
the habit of washing his seed wheat in
strong solution of Glauber salts, (sul-
phate of soda, with the view of prevent
ing smut, with complete success. lie
says he makes the solution strong enough
to bear an egg, fills tub half full of it
and then pours in half a bushel of wheat !

foul matter, dips out the wheat with
coander; lets it drain, spreads it out on
the barn floor till not quite dry, then rolls
it in air Stacked lime, and sows it, One
man can wash and prepare in this way
as much as dozen men can put in the
ground. Every description offoul seeds,

wheat swells while undergoing the pro-
cess, about % per cent. that is, four

terminates after being put in the ground

which we are members 10 this engage
ment, we took leave of our families and
friends the latter part of the eighth month,
1912. On our way we called on some
Of the lndan Committee of New Eng land
Yearly Meeting, and then proceeded to
New York; where, having completed our
arrangement, for the journey, we took
leave Of the Committee aud many other
Friends, and pursued our way 10 Ohio
Yearly Meeting. We there met with the
committee on the concern for the Indians,
of the Yearly Meeting, heard their re-
port respecting the Shawnee School, and
made such inquiries as seemed proper re-
specting the best mode of getting to the
Mississippi river. Having special de-.
sire 10 co mmence our journey as far north
as the Winnebago tribe of Indians and
fearing that the boats would be impeded
on account ofthe low stage of the water in
the Ohio river, it seemed most advisable 10
take the northern route. We accordingly
travelled by land to Cleaveland, thence by
steamboat to Detroit, and by land across
the State of Michigan 10 the mouth of ST.
Joseph's river. Here we took steamboat
over Lake Michigan sixty miles to Chica,
go, After waiting one day in this place,
we departed by stage for Galena, aud Du.
buque, crossing the State of Illinois, dis
lance of one hundred and eighty miles
We reached the latter place in safety, tho
much fatigued with our journey, the roads
being very dry and dusty, and the weather
exceedingly warm, We arrived at Du.
buque early on First-day morning. the
25lh of Ninth month and the following
evening procured a conveyance to the
Winnebago Indians. On Secondary
morning, we left in wagon travelling in
a north westerly direction about one hun.
dged miles across beautiful prairie coun.
try to Turkey river, On Third.day af
ternoon, while stopping for some refresh,
ment, abouttwenly.6ve miles distant from
The Indian village, there came to the house
five or six Indians in state of intoxica-
ton; having procured their whiskey at a
shop near by. Ttey were very noisy,
calling for whiskey, &C.. and greatly an
noying the peaceable settlers. The next
morning, after leaving for the agency we
fell in with number of companies, most
Of whom were intoxicated; some of them
whiskey on their ponies 10 their
villages.
Ga Fourthday of the week and 20 of
he month 1912, we reached the Mission
for the Winnebago tribe of indians, and
ook lodgings with the sub-agent David

wINNEBAGo TRIBE OF INDIANS.

This tribe is located northwest from 10.
wa Territory, and west of Prairie duCh.
en-, on lands ca led the Neutral Ground.
They are located in dIfferen! parts Of this
lard in settlements called villages. Their
principal are called the School Band, is
near the sub-ag ency of David Lowry on
Turkey river about one hundred miles
northwest from Dubuque, and within four
or five miles of Fort Atkinson. They
number altogether about Two thousand
These Indians live in rude lodges or wig.
vans as they are sometimes called, built
in the usual indian style, by forcing fork
ed sticks into the ground for posts, into the
forks of which they lay poles for plates
and ribs, preparatory to covering them
with oak bark. The sides are either
made oil bark, mats made of flags, or skins
fastened to the plates and extending to the
ground. These wigwams are from Ten
to twenty five feet in length, and about ten
wide. The inside Of the building is fitted
up With sort OF frame work on each
side, made of poles about Two feet high g.
three feet wide, ialended as sort of bed,
stead, on which they fas,en skins or mats,
where they lounge and sleep, leaving a
space through the centre four feet wide. !
AT each end there Is an aperture or door
The fire is built in The centre, the smoke
through a hole in the top.
There are not unlrequenlly as many as
three or four families, amounting to twen-
ly persons or more, occupying one of these
miserable novels. When about their
homes, they live principally upon soups,
made of wild fowl and venisop, iuruipe aud
potatoes. They also eat an abundance Of
boiled corn. Some corn bread and very
lilte wheat -four are used by them.
There is no regular order as to the time
or manner of taking their meals. Some
are seen eating their soups outside of their
some are eating while sitting
On their beds; while Others are engaged
IN different pursuits and should any Der.
son of another family happen to come into
he lodge when he needed food he would
is freely partake without invitation as he
would of his own.
The dress OF the men consists mainly
d blankets; all oithem wear the waist.

aud few wear calico frock or shirt
The head is generally uncovered a few,
however, use d tnrban. The dress of the
women consists Of broad cloth shirt and
blanket Some oil them wear moccasins
md Iegglns; the head is entirely uucov-
,red, except that the blanket is sometimes
brown over it for a covering, but thew
Use no o'her. The dress OF the large
hldren is similar to that of the growo
persons OF the sane sex. Most Of the
mall children go naked daring the warm
eason; but those that attend school are {
loIhed similarly 10 the white children on

To the efforts towards reformation which have
heretofore been made, many objections have been
brought forward, and urged with very great per-

the task, is calling your attention Ia the evils re-
sulting lIom the present system OF EXAMINING
Courts There are other evils more directly con.
ncc,ed with our County Courts, which call aloud
for correction, and demand immediate attention.
evils which continually increase, aud bring al
tendan! evils in their train; and | deem the time
propi,ious for calling attention 10 them and sug-
sesting a remedy, when Tie public eye Is directed
towards our Inferior Courts
Ii was formerly the boast OF the Bar, that the
County Court was school for the Profession I'M
surpassed: ard many of the best heads and hearts
of Virginia were devoted 10 the system as ii at
present stands Indeed, SO great was the partiali-
~ of many of our most brilliant minds, Tor the

Without an attentive examination OF the

County Courts, il must seem a matter unexrlain-
able, how so great in admiration and love for the
system could have possessed minds, con;essedly so
