For the .4nti-Slauery Bugle.
SeCtarianlsm and its mercenary Priest
hood.

DEAR FRIENDS -
A short time since | received a letter from
John Shearman, of England, a member of
the League of Universal brotherhood" in
which he showed that the great obstacle to
the cause Of Peace was the Priesthood. Out
of eighteen ministers in his neighborhood, not
one could be induced to lecture on the sub
ject of the League" The influence Of Sec
tarianism is the same, =" The wide world o'er;''
it withers every green thing, destroys what
ever it touches that has life within tit is
worse than the ~locusts of Egypt. Here a
man must be a sectarian to have the counte-
nance of the church. If the priesthood can
gain popularity or money by your movement,
they will co-operate-if the church can gain
members or influence, it will help, but not a
particle further. The following letter from
one of the leading Wesleyan preachers in
England, to the Secretary Of The 'Stoke-upon-
Trent Branch League will show how the
ministry of the Old World treat God-like en-
terprizes, such as Peace movements and Tenn
perance Societies. Just such a letter would
the mass of American ministers have written,
had they been invited to lecture on Abolition.
They would all have been las much as ever
opposed to the great evil of slavery, but twice
as much opposed to the overthrow of it. !
hope your readers will mark well the declara-
tions of this great Divine on the Temperance
question. But to the letter.

Must be Mended.''-It was a whimsical
plan, that Of my dear old grandmother. If
she ever found a hole in a towel or table
cloth, she pinned 1t up, with a label append
ed, " must be mended," and il was then com-
mitted to a drawer in her wardrobe, probably
never to be thence removed so long as my
grandmother lived. Now it occurs to me
that there are many more things in the world
which we all agree must be mended besides
my old grandmother's towels and table-cloths.
We have each our own individual failings
which "must be mended " let us look to
them, and, not initiating my grandmother's
example, as we are sadly too much disposed
to do, let us begin 10 mend the moment we
have decided what must be mendea.

HARVESTING

A correspondent writing from Michigan to
the New York Evangelist, says:
"A field of sixty acres was harvested in
two days as follows: A machine was drawn
into the field by sixteen horses, guided by as
many boys as necessary. On the front Of the
machine a man was stationed 10 adjust the
forks and circular knives TO the height Of the
wheat which was readily thrown back into
the machine. No more was seen Of it, till
another man in the rear part of the machine,
was seen tying up well filed sacks of pure
grain, in perfect order for the Touring mill.
This huge machine (of the best wheat) har-
vested and baggrd three bushels in a minute"
