CONSUMPTION AND THE CLERGY
The matter is such peculiar one that we
do not really see how we can pass it by
without entering our protest as Christians
and rs patriots. 1t seems the bill designs
TO make every clergyman, of any name or
in any position, under forty-five years, IL
able to military service. The old State
laws, with scarce an exception, exempted
them. The general government proposes
to make them shoulder the musket and
learn their exercise. 1t is the only in
stance on record where civilized country
ever attempted TO make the ministers of
religion do military duty. We believe
that no heather nation even ever forced
tho priests of its religion into the ranks
Of its armies. This fact is startling, and
suggests reflection. That it has been left
for the United States, in the year of
grace, 1865, to compel the ministers of
the religion Of its Christian people to
bear arms, and dye their hands in blood
to leave the altar and the pulpit, and
the instruction of the young, and the
comforting of tho sick, and the burying
of the dead, and all their sacred duties, to
poise the rifle, and sway the sword, and
slaughter men-this fact we say, is start
ling at least. We are progressing, but
whittier ?-Nortbwestern Church.

A PmFERINa CHAPLAIN REBUKED. =
A Chaplain in the Army Of the Potomac
wanted horse, and without much cere-
mony took one belonging to Virginia
farmer but his possession Of the property
was very brief, as the following converse
ton shows: The Chaplain rode into the
presence of his superior officer, and was
asked where he got the horse? The
Chaplain says, "Down the road there.
The officer remarked, "You had better
take him back again." The Chaplain
says, "Why Jesus Christ, when he was
on the earth, took an ass from his owner
whereon to ride into Jerusalem" The
officer replied, i" You are not Jesus Christ
that is not an ass; you are not on your
way TO Jerusalem, and the sooner you re-
store that horse TO his owner the better il
will be for you" The Chaplain still
walks.

Of that which they are seeking to accom-
pIish as those whom they are laboring TO,
perpetually enslave; or else they must be
outra oeously dishonest-and l am inclined
to the latter opinion, SO far as politics are
concerned. l have always been opposed
to the immediate abolition of slavery, or to
US of the free States meddling with it, in
any way, in those States where it existed
but that we had the right to interfere and
oppose, by all honorable means, the intro
duction of it into any new State or Terrific

ton where it did not exist. But now there
should be no such idea entertained, as the
President of the United States has made
the negroes free to all intents and purposes,
and l hope for all time to come And ii al
any time he may see that he has acted IN
wisely, let him on the other hand declare
them all sLaces, and / shall be content; as
it is poor rule that wont work both ways.
