Scarcity Of PrOVisiOMs--Sulcr

We learn from our exchanges that
a great number Of people North of
Clinch Mountain, in Tennessee, are
actually starving-there being no corn
or wheat in that section of the State.
One poor woman and her four little
children are said to have starved to
death in Hawkins county last week
they had been living on wheat bran
for some time.
The Northern Michigan papers
complain of a great scarcity of pro-
visions in their section of the State
Instances fgreat suffering and almost
starvation, in particular neighbor-
hoods, are reported. Property has
been sacrificed at ruinous prices, and
farms mortgaged to obtain the means
Of subsistence.

GONG TO A "BETTER CoUNTRY." "A
Christian does not turn his back upon
the things Of this world, because he
has nonatural capacity to enjoy them,
no taste for them, but because the
Holy Spirit has shown him greater
and better things. He wants flowers
that VIII never fade; he wants some
thing that man can take with him to
another world. He is like man who
has had notice to quit his house, and
having secured a new one, he is no
more anxious to repair, much less to
embellish and beautify the old one;
his thoughts are upon the removal
If you hear him converse, it is upon
the house to which he is going
Thither he sends his goods, and thus
he declares plainly what he is seeking.

following very correct classification of

alton.
There were three departments of
human labor.
The first and highest was he who
ploughed the soil, sowed the seed, and
reapcd the harvest.
The second, the mechanic and man
ufacturer, who made the wheat into
flour and the wool into garments.
Third and last was the merchant
he was the legs and arms of human
society, carrying the produce from the
farmer to the mechanic and bringing
it back.
Other professions were required to
make up the machinery of human So
ciety, but they were merely the chink-
ing and daubing, such as lawyers,
doctors, etc.
