A Fighting Clergyman.

Rev. B.. C. Ward, pastor of d Con-
gregational church in Genessee, Ill,
conceives it to be his duty to for
sake the pulpit for the field. He
has received authority to raise a
company of infantry, and proposes
toenlist clergymen only. An appeal
to his clerical brethren, published
over his own signature, calls upon
E'the fighting stock of the church
militant" oprove tothe world their
Willingness to "Seal with their
blood what they have talked in
their pulpits,' and closes with this
extraordinary passage:
Much as we have said and done
to prove our loyalty, we have not
as yet resisted unto blood striving
against sin. Shall we now at the
call Of Christ, come out from be-
hind ourvelyetc tcushioned barracks.
whence we have SO often hurled
bold, indignant words at the giant
iniquity of the age, and meet it
face to face with the hot shot of
rified artillery; with the cleaning
bayonet, or with clasliing sabres in
hand to hand encounter.
This blood-thirsty reverend gen.
tleman, who has discovered that
his mission is not to preach ''peace
On earth and good will towards all
men," should call the Massachu-
'etts divines who undertook to
control the policy of the country
2y besieging Congress when the
Kansas troubles broke out. The
petition, with theirnames attached,

HARD TO BEAT.

One of the Juveniles, though
considerably advanced, presented
himself, not long since, for admis-
sion to a public school near Dry
Dock. He was shown a seat, and
in the course of the morning the
master resolved to enter into a
little examination of the youths
capacities and knowledge, prior to
assigning him class. Calling to
the b'hoy to stand up, lie asked:
''Do you know anything about
GRAMMAR" gg9
II don't know anything else,''
said the boy. & satl
"Very well. Now attend: in
the beginning God made the world.
Parse world"
All the b'hoy knew of grammar
was what he had heard that very
morning from the classes reciting
around him; but he had been
taught, that when he was fighting
in the dark he must strike straight
out from his shoulder right and
left and all would be right.
'.Parse world?' he drawled out
inquiringly, SO as to gain time.
''Yes. In the BEGINNING God
made the world. Parse world"
"Wall, world is the biggest kind
of noun, masculine gender, all
sorts of tense, past, present, and
future, and (slapping his hand
down on the desk with force that
shook the building) it is governed
by God! Now fetch on your
school scholrrs, old hoss,
md see if they can beat that"

Methodist Preachers PriSonerS
and Compelled to take the Oath
The louisville Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church was
recently in session in Louisville.
Bishop Kavanaugh presiding. Its
business being transacted, the wor-
thy ministers composing it were
somewhat astonished to find that
they were prisoners-that they
would be permitted to leave the
city and return to their homes
and their charges only ON taking
an oath to support the Constitution
of the United States and to be
loyal to the United States and to
Kentucky, &c. Such was. the
fact, however. Lincoln is master
of that place, and Lieutenants ex-
erclse absolute authority. There
was the alternative presented to
every preacher-the oath, or per-
petual Imprisonment. The most
of them, all of them probably, un-
der compulsion in duress, took the
cath, and, for the time being at.
least, escaped from the clutches of
the tyrant:
