From the Christian Messenger
Hops.

Bro. Webster I want to ask few ques-
tions about hops few about the Christians
conscience, and a few about hops and consci-
ence together And if you, or some of your
profound ontributors-learned in the Bible
will answer them you will help Inc amaz.
ingly. may tell you ] am in trouble-bc-
tween two fires. Fire No. is, desire to
get money land know the little land l cu-
tivate would produce hops bountifully.)
Fire No. 2 u.s. a minister wot of has given
some broad hints (pulpits are sometimes noted
for broad hints) that hop-raising is business
of doubtful morality.
Now I must have money and as for doing
what is immoral, much rather wouldn't.
My questions When they have brought
some money up into this country and given it
to us for hops, and have carried the hops
down to Boston or some other place | never
saw-what do they do NTH them ? If hops
make beer twice and bread only once is the
hop.raiser any better than the becr-seRer ?
Will CHRISTIAN conscience allow us to
make the raw material of drunkenness any
moro than the manufactured article
Somebody will raise hops and make
money in it and l may as aDeR do 1t as any,
body else.' Will this common saying stand
the test of christian conscience ?
May We expect money obtained by hop
raising to do just as much good in the mis-
sionary cause as any other money? -
hope these questions will be soon answer
ed-lor my neishbors are already preparing
their fields for another crop Of hops, and I
must not long neglect mine, if will next
year have the sweet pleasure of getting money
for bitter hops

The Work OF CHApLAIN.-A Chaplain of
regiment in writing to the Western Adrocate
says:
Il am more than ever convinced that every
regiment ought to have its own chaplain, to
preach to and pray for the men, and encourage
and comfort the sick, the wounded, and the dy-
ing have a letter now before me, written in
behalf of widowed mother who has youth
ful and dear son in this regiment. 1t requested
me to visit him. and give him such advice as
would wish the Christian minister to give my
son. This letter assures me the sorrow of many
families at the departure Of lst Kentucky resi-
ment was somewhat relieved by the intelligence
that was appointed Chaplain. o that could
meet the expectations of many sorrowing
mothers and sisters Of those son and brothers
now deprived of home influences Soon after
receiving the letter referred to, [ sought out
William, and have already talked freely with
him three times and the mother may be assur-
ed her Instructions, example, prayers, and tears
have not been lost on her son in vain.

This is very appropriate question to ask
in this national crisis, but it should be asked,
not by the way of making an excuse for in
delence, but with strong desire and purpose
to do all IN oar poaOer to sustain the govern
ment against the uurightcous attacks of the
present rebellion. There are many ways in
which we may do something to aid this i'm.
portant cause If we can do no good, we
should be resolved, at least, to do no harm.
We commend the following suggestion from
an exchange to the attention of the reader:
l. If you are in condition to leave home
that is, if the care of family on estate do
not make your presence positively imperative,
if you cannot serve your country better where
YOU are than in the fed-enlist. It is duty,
a privilege, an honor.
2. II you cannot 20 yourself, send your
money. Show your confidence in your coun-
try and in the cause, by investing of your
capital, so far as is consistent, IN United
States bonds or Treasury notes Every hoard
ed or hitherto unused dollar should be thus
appropriated. You will then have, if posi-
bic, deeper interest in the success OF the
Federal arms
3. If you cannot go or send, give to the
Government your sympathy. Do not grum'
bic. If you are thrown out Of business, bear
it. Said man Of our acquaintance living
in factory village, who has large family
to support, " Last year my income was near.
y eight hundred dollars; this it will proba'
bly, not exceed three. But if we cannot have
wheat upon the table we will have rye; if We
cannot have rye we will have corn if We
cannot have corn enough We will have haJ
enough-only by the lst Of next April let
the Flag Of the Free float upon every fortress
and hilltop from the St. Johns to the BIC
Grande !"
4. Remember, too, Gen. Scott is man
Mcclellan is man-Lincoln and his advisers
are men, All arc liable to err and fail
Over all, omnpotent is God. Seek to know
what policy would be most pleasing in the
sight of heaven-nearest right Dare to ad
vocate its adoption, and then intercodc for its
success. Then our country shall be saved

Louis XII, when young, used to visit a
peasant whose garden produced excellent fruit.
Soon after he ascended the throne, this peasant
waited on him with his little present, a turhip,
the produce of his own garden, of an extra
ordinary size. The king, smiling, remembered
the hours OF pleasure he had passed with him,
and ordered a thousand crowns to be given TO
him. The lord OF the village, hearing of his
liberaity, thought within himself, If this
peasant gets a thousand crowns for turnip |
have only to present his majesty with a hand.

irving at court, he very politely requested the
kings acceptance of one. Louis highly praised

Think of the magnificent service done TO
humankind by James Watt. 1t is positively
impossible to calculate whai we all owe to the
man that gave us the steam engine. 1t is
sober truth that the inscription in Westminster
Abbey tells, when it speaks of him as among
the "best henefactors" Of the race. Yet what
an unsound organization that man had !
Through most of his life lie suffered the deep
est misery from desperate depression of spirits
he was always tancying that his mind was
breaking down he has himself recorded that
he often thought of casting off by suicide the
unenviable burden of life. Aud still, what
work the ricketty machine got through! With
tearing headaches, with a sunken chest, with
the least muscular of limbs, with the most
melancholy OF tempemments, worried and
tormented by piracies of his great inventions,
yet he did so much and so nobly.

singular point of law was recently sub.
mitted to the imperial court Of Limoges, name
ly whether bees are TO be ranged in the class
of what the law calls "domeStic animals" or
are to be considered as "wd and ferocous. J"
A abOrer named Sauvenei, OF Chenerailles
proceeded on the Sth Of October, 1859, to ex-
tract the honey from a bee hive in the garden
OF his employer, a tax gatherer, named Ber-
aud. This irriated the bees, and they dew
wildly about. Al that moment Il farmer
named Legrand, OF PerIpiroilcs accompanied
by his son, boy of thirteen, came up the road
in gig, and the bees stung them and the
horse severely. The animal in terror began
prancing turously, aud the father and his sou
jumped out of the vehicle, the boy then ran
along the road, trying to avoid the bees, but
the horse having started off, knocked him
down. and so injured him that he died in
few hours. Legrand atterwa.d brought an ac-
tion before the civil tribunal of Aubusson
against Beraud aud Sauvenet to ob,ain
5000 francs aa indemnity for the death OF his
son, which he said must be considered as
caused by the bees But the tribunal held
that bees are "ferocious animals" which no
one can be expected to control and that there.
fore the action could not be maintained. An
appeal was presented to the imperial court OF
Limoges, and after long arguments a contrary
decision was come to, the court laying down
that bees are domestic animals" " and that the
owner of them is responsible ior any injury
they may commit, it therefore ordered that
200 francs should be paid to the plaintiff

OUR C0UNTRY's CALL.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
Lay down the ak, fling by the spade;
Leave in its track the toiug plow;
The rifle and the bayOnet blade
For arms like yours were filter now
And LEI the hands that ply the pen
Quit the light task, and learn to WELD
The hOrsemans crooked brand and rein
The charger on the battle field.
Our country calls away! away
To where the bood-stream blots the green
Strike to defend the gentest sway
That Time in all his course has seen.
Seen from Il thousand coyerts-see
Spring the armed foes that haunt her track
They rush to smite her down and we
Must beat the banded traitors back.
Ho! sturdy as the oaks ye ceave
And moved as soon to fear and flight,
Men of the glade and forest! leave
Your wOOdcratt for the field of fight.
The arms that weld the AK must pour
An iron tempest on the foe;
His serried ranks shall reel before
The arm that lays the panther low.
And ye who breast the mountain storm
By grassy steep or highland lake,
Come, for the land ye love, to form
bulwark that no foe can break.
Stand, like your own gray cliffs that mock
The whirlwind, stand i'll her detense
The blast as soon shall move the rock
As rushing squadrOnS bear ye thence.
And ye, whose homes are by her grand
Swift rivers, rising far away,
Come from the depth of her green land
As mighty in your march as they;
As terrible as when the rains
Have swelled them over bank and bourne,
With sudden floods to drown the plains
And sweep along the woods upt0rn
And We who throng, beside the deep,
Her ports and bamletS on the strand,
In number like the waves that leap
On his long murmuring marge of sand,
Come, like that deep, when DER his brim,
He rises, all lis Hoods TO pour,
And filings the proudest bar9ues that swim
helpless wreck against lis shore.
Few, few were they whose swords Of old,
Won the fair land in which we DWELL
But we are many. We who hold
The grim resolve o guard il well.
Strike foG that broad aud gOodly land,
Blow after blow, till men shall see
That Might and Right move hand in hand,
And glorious must their triumph be
