CROPS IN TENNEssEE.-Parson Brownlow,
in a letter to his paper, the Knoxville Wing,
writes as follows from Granger county,
Tenn:
Here, as in most other parts of East Ten
nessee, crops are literally burning up. 1t
is utterly impossible to describe-words fail
to convey correct idea of the sufferings of
crops and of man and beast, for the want
of rain. The corn crop will prove total
failure, without rain very soon, and great
deal Of it. Showers are passing about at
present, and the indications are. that we
are to have rain this week

excepting Palermo and Messina. After land

inhabitants, but the British interposed fol

the utmost CONSERVATION and tumultuous
demonstration among the people, as pre-

outbreak.

Come Join Our Order

Kind reader, arc you a member of an ac-
tive temperance organization and are you
cxcrting what influence you have, through
some organization, for the promotion of the
cause Of Temperament ] know that many
protesting christians stand aloof, whose ex-
amyle and influence keep back many others,
who itt for them would earnestly cooper
ate for the good Of the cause. Arc you one
of them You may be sincere, and think
that you arc doing no harm to the cause,
by such n course. If so, you have taken n very
limited, and still have a very imperfect, view
Of the subject. You withhold from the cause
Of Temperance and of humanity, which suffers
for the want Of your influence, the encour-
agement Of your example, and the aid OF
your cooperation. But you do not stand
alone. Almost everybody influences some
other one to do as he does and some per-
sons influence a great many that way. And
vet. probably, not one time in a hundred
docs the individual know, or even mistrust
TINT others arc influenced by his example,
The result is, not so much good is accom-.
plishcd by the temperance people-fewer IN
ebriates are reclaimed from ~drunkenness-few'
or young men arc turned out of the ways
leading to intemperance-more people gel
discouraged while many work for the en-
~terprise with less heart and satisfaction
Ny dear friend, can you feel easy in your
own conscience, while you are doing no
thing to prevent, or restore, others from
the terrible blight of drunkenness? The gooC
Book tells us, "IIe that knoweth to do goo(
and doeth it not, to him it is sim. In TIN
representation of the scenes of the last judy
ment persons are driven away into punish
mont on account of having simply neglecte'
to do what was in their power to do, for tn
poor and needy among them. A christian
should certainly never feel that he has don
all his duty, while anything, yet in his pow
or to do, remains undonc, for the spiritui
good of his fellow men.
