THE German May feast of Freedom.
The Germans Of this city. says the
Dayton Journal, commenced arrange

desired from abroad, another method

lowing letter from Hon. Charles Rcem-

the German for our use. suggests the

VOL. XXII.-N0. IS,
CLERGY VS.. POLITICIANS.

1t is amusing to read the Locofoco
papers just now, and see how great Is
their regret thai Clergymen should in
terfere with politics, and to hear how
wrong It is for Clergymen to oppose the
Nebraska Bill, and memor:alize Con.
gress. The Enquirer Of Sunday has
column on the subject, which is quite re-
freshing. II speaks Of the Clerrymen,
as though they were band ofoyererown.
ignorant boys. Il ignores the principle
that political questions have any moral
quality in them, OF rather, il advocates
two moralities, the morality of the pull
pit, aud the morality Of the FORUM
However immoral may be the tendency
OF political measure, the Chnrch and
its ministers must look upon il with
closed mouths and conquered preju-
dices," while the politician can foam and
vapor as much as he likes to carry his
darling measure. The immediate origin
Of the article, is the memorial, signed by
about eighty ministers Of the Gospel, Of
Cincinnati, against the passage OF the
Nebraska Bill. This il is that has called
forth the article in the Enquirer. IL
will be a sad day for the moral and no.
litical character Of the American people,
when the Ministers of the Gospel close
their mouths to injustice, and permit, IN
silence. the open execution Of wrong, or
when they only oppose injustice In the
abstract, and close their eyes aud mouths
TO wrong which Is practical and real,
like this Nebraska Bill. This would be
that easy Christianity which wrong do
ers wish 10 have taught; but Is not a
Christianity demanded by the times or
taught by the founders Of the faith. The
Ministers have a right, and il Is their du-
" 10 speak out on occasions like the
present, and to let their light shine be-
fore men. Whatever they san do that il
good, that they should do. Were they
to mingle more in the discussions Of the
practical moral questions ofthe day, good
would result from II. Sugar-coafed
Christianity, such as the Enquirer wishes
for, is poor stuff.

WIVES SAVE YOUR HuzRANns.

The following should be read by
every woman in the country, married
or unmarried-yes, it should be COM
mitted to memory and repeated three
times day, for it contains moro truth
than many volumes that have been
written on the subject:
"How often we hear man say am
going to California Australia, or some.
where else. You ask him the reason
Of his going away, and in nine cases
out of ten, the answer will be. | am not
happy at home. l have been unfortu-
nate in business, and | have made up
my mind to try my luck in California.
The world seems to go against me-
While fortune favored me, there were
those whom thought to be my friends
but when the scale turned, they also
turned the cold shoulder against ME.
My wife she that should have been the
first to have stood by me and encour-
age me, was the first TO point the finger
of scorn and say. at was your own
fault; why has this or that one been
fortunate? IL you had attended to
your business as they have you would
not be where you are now" These
and other like insinuations, often drive
u man to find other society and other
pleasures. in consequence of being un-
happy at home. lie may have chill
dren that he loves, he cannot enjoy
life with them as he would; he may love
them rs dearly as ever, yet his home
is made unpleasant in consequence of
the cold indifference of his wife. Now
| would say to all such wives. sisters.
and in fact all females, deal gently with
him that is in trouble, remember that
he is very easily excited. A little word,
carelessly thrown out, may inilict n
wound time never can heal. Then be
cautious, man is but human-there-
fore he is liable TO err. Ii you see
him going wrong ever meet him with
smile, and with the kiss of affcc-
ton; show that you love him by repeat
cd acts of kindness; let your friendship
be unbounded; try to beguile his un-
happy hours in unpleasant conversa-
ton. BY so doing, you may save
yourself and children from an unhappy
4 future.
"When a man is in trouble, it is
but a little word that may ruin him
it is but little word that may save
him"

AeRIcuLrURAL COLLEGE IN INDIANA,

- ne INDIANA Statc DOafu Oh Ayll-
culture have offered apremium ofa Sill
yer cup. worth twenty dollars. for the
best Essay on Agricultural Education,
embracing plan for establishing and
conducting an Agricultural College,
The premium is small, but the object
of the Board is worthy of popular ap-
probation.
The day Of prejudice against scien-
ti6c farmers, or "book farmers" as they
are sometimes called, is rapidly passing
away; and. even now, all good practi-
cal farmers are convinced that many
great advantages result from conduct
ing agricultural operations on scientific
principles. Notwithstanding this fact,
however the farmers of Indiana do not
yet give to the wide field of agricultu-
rallearning that attention which its i'm
portance deserves.
We have n goodly number Of Theo-
logical Schools, Law Schools. Medical
Schools, and Mercantile Schools
There is no scarcity Of merchants; the
increase of lawyers is becoming alarm
in TO the members of that honorable
profession; and doctors, Of all grades,
are found in numbers vcxatiously dis
proportioned to the wants Of healthy
region like that Of Indiana; yet, with
these facts before them many farmer
boys seem to regard the schools as the
fountains from which wisdom and lear
ming, and honorable positions in socie-
ty, can be obtained. This is great
and most mischievous err,T, which is
calculated to establish and perpetuatc
the opinion that agricultural pursuits
are inferior. in dignity and honor to
the callings of those who labor as doc
tors or lawyers, or merchants. This
stange absurd error has caused many
farmer-boys to turn away dissatisfied
from their own growing crops, and
green fields, and blooming orchards,
and 10 imagine that, in some town or
village, they could find more true in
dependence and more honorable en-
ployment, in performing the duties Of
merchants clerks, or in laboring for
years in dingy Offices, in order to quail
ify themselves TO serve the public, eth
er as physicians, or aslawyers.-Farm as
and Shop.

NEAL pow---MAINE LAW.

The opponents OF a Prohlbltory Liq-

defeat of Neal Dow who was recently

(which supported Cahoon says:
There is unquestionably decided
majority Of both branches Of the City
Government in favor Of vigorous ex-
ecution OF the Liquor Law.
This result of the election under all
the circumstances. is a strong indica-
ton Of the strength Of the law in this
city. Hundreds ofthe strongest friends

hundreds more wogld have voted for

the law itself disconnected from all 9TH

been in existence there for some two
years and a half and enforced with

Ok Tuesday Simeon c. Webster, for
merly OF Jericho, Vermont, was caught
by the belt of driving shaft in u mill at
Nashua, and instantly killed-his neck
having been broken and his body hor-
rbly manglej. Mr.. Webster was in his
twentieth year, and had been married
about thee months. We have learned,
from relative OF Mr.. Webster, that on
the day of the accident Mrs, Webster
was strongly impressed with the idea that
a terrible calamity was then to happen
to her husband. She was exceeding ly
distressed, and weeping as il the event
had already occurred, expressed her con-
viction to the lady with whom she board
ed. This lady endeavored to calm her
fears, and invited Mrs. Webster TO her
room. On tke way, they observed from
window crowd in the yard OF the mill,
and Mrs. Webster instantly exclaimed
"Simeon is dead!" Alas! II was too

COL. BENTON ON NEBRASKA.

The Washington correspondent Of
the New York Herald writes thus:
In a few days. but perhaps not till
next week (for the old campaigner is
busy finishing up his book of thirty
years in the Senate, writing much OF
il at his desk in the House. in the very
focus Of all the noise and confusion Of
that body) perhaps, we mayi expect
Col. Benton to open on the Nebraska
question. All sides are looking to the
day when he shall take up the gloves,
for all sides expect tremendous speech.
The old man promises that he will
not chop logic nor mince matters, but
blaze away without regard to the poll
ticians that may fall or be crippled
from his broadsides.-And he says that
as for thirty odd years he has been nc
customed to make a speech to the end
of his argument. whether il has been
to the extent of three hours or three
days. he will not. in this instance. be
eurtailed by the one hour rule Of the
House. lhey may insist upon stop
ping him in the house at the end of his
hour; but il they do, he will walk out
into the Rotunda, and there finish his
speech; and we doubt not that the en-
tire House and the Senate, and the gal
leres. il It comes to this, will Join in
the Rotunda to hear him out. For the
novelty of the thing, therefore, we
think the House, in this case, ought to
adhere to the one hour rule. BnL this
We hardly expect. The House will
doubtless grant him n whole day il he
desires it; and that he will make terri
bic work Of the incongruities OF the
Senate billallhands fully believe. The
old man is strong and lusty, and AS full
OF fight as ever, and the youngsters Of
the Honse are really anxious 10 hear
