Starving Clergymen.

We are often reminded of the man who
boasted that he had been Methodist forty
years, and he thanked God it had never
cost him single cent Such people are
too common in all denominations, and they
need stirring up. The following extract
from the Memoir of Rev. N. Stacy, a pio-
neer of Universalism in Vermont and this
State, gives hint which we trust narrow
souls of whatever creed will understand as
addressed to them:
had, at the solicitation Of friends, par
ticularly in Addison county, travelled two
hundred miles 20 visit them, and deliver INV
message. They had manifested great satisfac-
ton in the opportunity of hearing me preach,
had urged me, with the utmost earnestness,
to stay longer; solicited me with all ap-
parent sincerity, TO make them another visit
as soon as possible; thanked me times with
out number, and expressed their gratitude
In the warmest terms possible; but, alas |!
they never thought to inquire how was,
pecuniarily, prepared TO meet the expenses
of my journey; or il my horse would ever
peed q shoe, or myself change of apparel.
My ministerial larbors had ever been spa
ripgly rewarded; and it was right, no doubt,
for they were worth but litle-I so consid-

Neighbor Wilkins Tint.

A man having purchased worn out farm,
and invested all his money in his real estate,
tried hard by his labour to make il produce
crop. After laborious summers work, he
signally failed. His crops of corn, oats,
and buckwheat, were scarcely worth har-
vesting. Winter came on and with il dis
couragement and dependency. He asked
his neighbor in the language of scripture,
"What shall ?" His neighbour in re-
ply, in true Yankee style, answered this
question by asking another. "Neighbor
Wilkins, have you ever kept a hired man on
your farm?" "Always." allow can you
gain the greatest amount of labour in sea-
son from his efforts ." In the first place
give him plentiful supply of food, for a full
stomach for labourer is ajewel; next, be-
gin the day early, and keep steady at it,"
"You have answered truly; manage your
farm as you do your hired man. Feed it
with nourishment for vegetation feed il full
and keep il fed. Clear out the barn yard /;
dig up the muck from the swamps; SOW on
all the ashes you can get: cart sand from
the drainage of the streets. When you be-
gin upon field, feed it; feed it full and
keep it fed. Then go TO the next lot, and
feed il in the same style. Such fields recol-
lect the kindness of the owner, and they
pay him for it more than fifty fold. Then
plough and dig and the reward is sure.'-
Neighbor Wilkins opened his eyes in aston
ishment at his own ignorance, and said, I" /
see! see! A feeble starved man cannot
work much. A poor starved field cannot
bear much" Common sense might have
taught him, but it had not. Thousands, like
him, scratch gravel" for naught all their
days. Neighbor Wilkins saw where he
missed il. The next year he planted four
acres of corn, after be had coated the field
with all the fertilizing material he could
gather during one short winter. He told
me that " he had scraped all creation" No
vember told true story. Two hundred
and sixty bushels of corn made him laugh.
His wife made puddings without grumbling,
and his children ate with pleasure. Thus,
friend Wilkins went from field to field, and
fed il as he went. In its turn il fed him. his
family, his cattle. His barren farm became
productive; his naked fields became clothed
with heritage. He became rich. His farm
was rich. Peace dwelt in his household,
plenty filled his granaries, and fortune smil-
ed upon him. Are you an unfortunate far
mer, cursed with poor land and stinted
crops? Look at Mr.. Wilkins, and in the
language of the Bible, "Go thou and do
likewise" 1900

felt very unwilling 10 cause disappoint-
ment; ! therefore moved forward. though
with rather a despairing heart, nt first; but
soon gathered courage and strength from the
reflection, that if God had allotted me n
work to perform, he would either provide
means to feed me on the way, or give me
strength TO perform the journey without il.
II required me TO be on the way two nights I;
and | had barely change sufficient in my
pocket to pay for my horse keeping and my
lodging, and furnish me with a single meal.
And with this performed the journey, with
out making my condition known to any per-
son, or asking the charity of strangers, On
the last day, long after every cent was spent,

ans through Savoy to Williamsburgh, / felt
quite exhausted, and thought my poor beast

around and beholding the abundance that
rewarded the labors Of the industrious hus-
bandman, even in that cold and mountain
GUS country, could scarcely refrain from re-
pining at my lot, and thinking that, IL this
was an allotment of Providence, il was se-
we're one and, for moment, fearful des-
pondency seized my soul But il was mo-
mentary only for, on looking around, saw
good fresh turnip by the waysde, that
somebody had dropped. ] alighted, picked
it up, and proceeded but few rods, when
l came TO spot of good fresh grass by the
way. here let my horse feed, stretched
my weary limbs on natures verdant carpet,
and ale my turnip. / then arose refreshed,
both in body aud mind. My desponding
feelings had entirely left me; and holy
calmness, an mistaken confidence in an all
wise and bountifhl Providence, with a con-
scientious conviction that was in the way
of duty, accompanied and cheered me to the
end of my journey. | arrived at the house OF
Mr.. Washburn, father of Mrs. Ballou, some
time ntter noon; but could wait, without
feeling any Inconvenience, until their usual
tea-time and then ate hearty meal, with
out experiencing any injury.
