Work and Fee.

Under the above head, in q recent
number of the Banner, we're some re-
marks on Ministerial labor and re-
muneration. The author never labored
as minister in the hackwoOds in the
Nineteenth century or he would not
speak of ''pew rent and baptismal fees. y
The idea of ministers laboring simply
for the fee, appears absurd. What is
ministers fee in new country his
salary for year would scarcely feed
the physicians horse. The Doctor
can speak of his pay, without iniuring
his practice; he can collect by law,
and earns enough in year to support
a minister three or fouf--the common
way of supporting them. He may not
have studied SO long. nor his education
cost him half the money yet he
amasses wealth. raises his family in
comfort and independence, and has
plenty, in store for his declining years.
A minister of ordinary talent, can make
more money in year, in most any
other occupation, than by preaching
By teaching, and clerking, or in va
rious employments. IF he thinks more
of his pay than his work, he will GER
tainly be disappointed-when he gets 1T !
The minister barely gets subsistence,
with the most rigid economy-and at
the close of twenty years hard labor,
finds himself poor! nothing in store for
old age. But he must have faith
Must not complain He raises his
family-the world never knows how.
Never knows the shifts of honest pow
erty to present respectable appear
ance. HIS suit of carefully preserved
cloth, is turned. sponged, dyed and
mended-by his partner in tribula-
tion-whie he goes off to preach con-
ISOLATION to his hearers, when his own
heart is aching with agony. How
shall he feed, and clothe tho dear ones
at home! how pay his debts !-for
ministers have to eat, and be clothed,
and debts will accumulate when he is
without money. Perhaps he will try
to think of that Rest that remaineth
to the people of Cod" where he will
be free from coroding care-where he
will never hunger nor thirst any more
where there is neither sorrow nor
crying-but one Sabbath Of eternal
felicity. But the thought will arise
in the event of his removal, who will

ones. Leave them in the hands of the

~ A practical, hard-working far
mer, returning from fair, writes:
"A careful examination of all the
labor-saying agricultural machines
establishes the fact that the days Of
hard. life destroying labor on the farm
are about being numbered, and that
in rural life there are to be greater
opportunities for leisure. for intellec-
tual improvement and Practical pro-

The MosT IMPORTANT OF ALL.-The
following excellent observations are By
the Point-a,la~Hsche Empire Parish:
At the last meeting ofour police jury
not word was SAID about our public
schools. When will our.worthy parish
fathers be convinced that education
secures selfrespect, supports pride ex-
cites ambition, opens opportunity for
personal and social improvement I
Without education franchise has no
value. We can never recover from the
effects Of the war until the standard Of
intelligence and morality is raised, and
the minds Of the people are stimulated
by active exercise.
What Louisiana needs, and must
have as early as practicable, is sys-
tenn of free public education "a system,
perhaps, supported and enforced by
law. She must make the education
Of all classes matter of concern it
must take rank even with, if not above
politics, and agriculture, and banking,
and railroads; it must be fundamen,
tai provision, if We expect not to recede
in the scale Of civilization and enlight-
eminent. With the establishment of
free schools, a free press, and the pres
ervation of the right of free speech, the
improvement of the masses and the
solidifying Of the foundation of free
and well organized government will
follow as necessary consequences.

When thunders shake the Heavens,
And vivid lightnings blaze
Across the angry sky;
And sable clouds of gloom,
In darkness veil the even
Not then-nOt then
All no! would not die.
Not when the pestilence,
In darkness, walks
And terror sits enthroned
On every brow;
And fear and Desolation
Fill the homes of men;
And all aghast, and trembling
Ask the question, how
Shall escape the scourge?
That spares not low or high
But all are found its victims;

Not then-not then
When winds are wailing DER the earth,
In diFges solemn
In the midnight gloom;
And ghosts are whispering
In the lone churchyard,
Or fitting to and from
The portals of the tomb;
With limbs, all pulseless--
Cheeks so wan and pale,
With steps methinks Of airy heetness--
AS down, they march the spirit vale
The lonely hours so full of meetness
For pale-eyed ghosts to roam
Not when the meteors blaze
Across the starry sky,
When candles of the dead
In bog and in morass,
Are cleaning through the night,
With trembling lurid eye
Above the tangled weeds,
The winds and sedgy grass
At such an hour as this
o! then would not die
But on a Springs sweet morn,
When birds are singing in the distant
woods,
And dew is sparkling on green fields
OF waving corn,
And in the roses heart,
And gems the opening bud;
When Aurora, in her purple,
Arrays the eastern sky
And zephyrs stir the flowers,
Yes then, O let me die.
