ARROGANT AND OVERLAPPING PIETY

Never do naughty egotlsm, captious animadvcr
satlon, and acrimonious rebuke appear unsghtly
as in the minister charged from the meek and low
ly Jesus with an embassy OF peace. And yet alas
unslghtly as these appear, we are sometimes com
PEELED, with regret and sorrow, to behold them.
particular profession or pursuit does not Cler
the nature of human passions, but only gives to
them different direction. The wrath Of Paul was
as deadly as that of Herod. The one assassnated
out OF compaisance to glddy girl, the other per-
secuted for conscience sake. The circu Instances,
however, made no difference to the wretched VIC
tins whom his malignant zeal pursued 10 death.
Under tie cover of religion, men perhaps more
frequently indulge the bitterness OF passion with
out compunctlon than in any other situation, The
wretch who wantonly, and without some " SaiUo to
his conscience" attack0 private character, feels sell
condemned. But the sour acrimonious, grace. hard
ened bgot, embarKs all his PRIDE graifes all his
vengc, and emptles his corroded bosom of lis gall,
and, having done so, smooths over the distorted tea
lures Of countenance on which sets the smile OF
Judas, and says, and half believes that he has done
God seruce.
The proud, ambitious, arrogant Clergyman takes
his stand in the Church with tho same views that
the proud, arrogant, and ambitious statesman takes
his IN the world.
Is sel-aggrandizement the motive Of the latter:
SO il is Of The former And this is TO be sought in
pursuits and studies which ought, above all Others,
to sweeten the temper and humble the pride Of
man. But these studies and pursuits, where grace
is ntcrposed, no doubt alter human nature. The
arch casuist soon indeed, acquires zeal for relig-
ion, but it is cruel he learns to contend tor the faith,
but he contends with acrimony; aud even the cross,
the sacred symbol of his Savour's suiierings is
borne about him as an ostentatlous emblem Of his
own humility His own creed is the standard OF
doclrnes-his own Church is the exclusive asylum
Of faith. lie ancies that he possesses sous IN So
10, all the orthodoxy, all the erudtion all the taste
OF the kingdom; aud staggering like Jupiter ON
the top Of Olympus, he seats himself as sole UNI
pre OF all matters Of faith and of science. If any
one dares to pass the boundary he has fixed, or to
adopt mode Of expression he has not authorized,
he brands him with the appellation OF heretic and
instantly hurls at his devoted head Thunderbolt.
If an individual stands in his way and palticu-
larry if an individual possesses an influence which
he enves, or fills place which he covets, he marks
him as his victim. The sacrifice, however must be
enthusiastically performed, and attended with all
the external forms of sanctity. To prepare the
way for this, disingenious inslnuatons are thrown
out against the hated object; his sentiments are
misstated, his language is perverted, and his per-

FOWLS IN YARDS


Hens kept in small yards often acquire the habit
Of pucking out each others feathers Some par
tlcular individuals, generally the cocks, are made
the subjects to be despoed of their plumage for
the amusement or satisfaction of the rest. The
habit sometimes becomes nveterate that it is al
most impossible to check it, and the pluckinp ia
continued TIL the victims stripped almost naked
till in some cases even their crops and entrails are
torn out. We could never fully understand the
cause of this unnatural appetite, though from its
being seldom seen in fowls which have their liber-
ty, it seems reasonable that it is induced by con-
hnement. But whether it results from mere fret
funess, or from want of some kinds of food
which they are able to procure when allowed to run
at large, is uncertain
When fowls are allowed to select their food. as
they do when unconfned, it consists of great va
rety. Besides all kinds of grain, they eat largely
Of grass or green vegetables, as well as animal sub
stances. The animal food is generally supplied by
lnsccts-worms, beetles, grasshoppers, &c. AS
condiments they eat finty gravel and lime; fire.
quently taking liberal draughts of water. They
dust themselves in clean, fine sand, if they can get
it; but ashes, if not too strong, may perhaps be
better 1t is obvious that their food, when they are
kept in a confined state, should conform as nearly
as possible to what they would prefer if allowed to
choose for themselves. A patch of clean grass
should, if practicable, be allowed in their enclosure
and as substitute for insects butchers oals might
be given them. If they have not sufficient grass,
they should be fed twice day with lettuce cab
bage, or tender pantain leaves, of all which they
are fond We have noticed that they appear to
prefer lucerne to almost any other heritage and on
this account it might be an object to have their
yard well set with this plant. Gravel and lime, or
pounded limestone, must not be omitted and 1t
must be fresh and clean.
1t seems strange that fowls should quietly SUBJ
NIT to have their feathers drawn out in the manner
described. We have seen ROSTERS stand perfectly
still while two or three hens were round them each
occasionally plucking a feather, which was gener-
ally swallowed. little cringing by the rooster,
when feather required an uncommon jerk. [Per.
haps this springs from gallantry.l When spot
on the body of the fowl is once plucked bare, is
generally kept so-thc young feathers just as they
appear through the skin, seeming to be preferred
They are then full of bloody juices. Can any one
explain the cause of this morbid appetite ALBANY
