Religion vs.. Politics.

Editor of the Register
AS matter of some interest to your
readers permit ME to call your attention
to the passage of the following pream,
ble and resolution passed by the West
ern Virginia Conference of the Metho'
dist Protestant Church. This denomi'
nation is large and respectable, and is
in the future, destined TO WELD a con-
siderable influence over a great por'
tion of the State. The resolution was
passed at the recent conference held
near Jane Lew, in Lewis county. In
these times the pulpit is desecrated
by ministers preaching politics and
other worldly themes, and the
cause of Christ more injured by
one such, than by hundred such
graceless impOsters as Hovey, whom
yOu exposed some time since. And
while the discussion was pending be-
tween yourself and those ministers who
objected TO your course, no doubt but
some of them had done equally as much
harm by preaching worldly themes as
Hovey by his bad conduct. We COM
mend the course of the Conference to
the consideration of Radical preachers.
The following is the resolution:
WHEREAS, The introduction of poll
tics into the pulpit, has, in all ages of
the world, been the prolific cause of
vast amount of evil, therefore
ResOlrsd, That we,as ministers of this
body, will attend exclusively to our
high calling, knowing no North, no
South, no East, no West, but as ambas-
sadors of Christ will preach only the
gospel, and abstain from the discussion
of politics in the sacred desk and in
our annual and quarterly conferences,
and also abstain from exciting discus
sions upon political subjects in the pri-
vate walks of life, rendering unto
Cesar the things that are C9sars, and
God unto the things that are Gods"
We opine this is the correct position
for the Church of Christ. Will the In
telligeRcer and other papers please cop
the above resolution, calling attention
TO it, and oblige many members of the
Conference. a. j. +.

Bots in Horses.

We give the following recipe for re-
lieving horses of the bots, though, for
ourselves, we believe it an Insult to the
wisdom of Providence to believe that
the life of so noble creature as the
horse can be at the mercy of so con-
temptible an insect as the bot. The
stomach of the horse is the natural hab-
its t of the insect during a certain stage
of it's growth. When a horse dies of
collie or any other disease, the creature
naturally attempts to escape from a
place no longer fitted to its nature, and
in doing so perforates the stomach of
dead OF dying animal. "The very head
and front of his offending hath this ex-
tent, no more
Colonel j. Hamilton writes from
Raleigh, n. c., stating that lie has re-
ceipt from DR.. Gee, of Florida, which he
had not tested, but would do so on ne
cessity showing itself. He says:
"YOu are aware that it is hard some
times to distinguish between an attack
of the bots and one of the collie. The
following remedy, however, is equally
efficient in either. The reason that a
bot can resist the action of the agents
administered, is his power of drawing
his head into the walls of the stomach
by his tentacles. But he cannot resist
chloroform. A tablespoonful of chloro.
form, screened by couple OF spoonstul
of any good mucilage, will make him
let 90 his hold on the stomach even after
having bored nearly through"

The following incident is an actual
occurrence, which illustrates some of
the consequences Of ButleFs occupation
of the Crescent city. There are living
witnesses who can attest to its truth:
Daring the reign of the Beast in 1863,
he, or some one of his dutiful officers,
confscated a certain article Of house
hold property knownas a grand piano,
at that time belonging to Miss W., of
- street, being hers by the right
of presentation from an only brother.
Miss W, after the war, was on a visit
to the "Hub" city, az she happened to
be connected by marriage with one of
the first families of the State of Massa-
chusetts. While Miss W. sojourned in
the city of Boston, she was invited to
pass an evening with certain acquain-
tances Of the people with whom she was
staying. In the course of the visit, some
one requested her to perform on the pi-
ano. Being a superb musician she un-
hesitatiugly rose from her chair to COM
ply; but 10! a great surprise and NOR
titcation awaited her.. NosOoner had
her eyes fallen on the INSTRUMENT, upon
which another lady had just ceased to
play, when she Immediately recognized
it as the Identical piaaoof which she had
been robbed in the spring of 1863.
Smothering her disgust and resentment
as best she could, Miss W. advanced to
take the place of the last performer,
(whO, by the way, was the young lady
of the house. when observing her dress,
she recognized that too as her property, of
which she had been deprived under the
regime Of ''the Beast
Phis was more than human nature
could quietly endure. So with tears
coursing down her fair cheeks, she
pointed to the piano, and in passionate
tones exclaimed, "ttdt instrument was
ruthlessly taken from my home and l
grossly insulted for demonstrating
against its removal. Iyalued it above
all possessed; it was present from an
only brother who now fills an unknown
grave on the battle field of Shilow
Turning to the young lady, she con-
tinued, "And you, Miss, are wearing n
silk dress, taken from me at the same
timew
1t is needless to say that the affair
cast a gloom over the astonished com
pany, but the sensations of the host can
be more easily imagined than described,
when his own daughter Indignantly
chided him before them all exclaiming :
ooh! papa papa! you said that you
had purchased my piano and dress from
a rebel family to relieve them of actual
want and had paid the fuH raIue of all
you sent mew
And now can only trust that my ac-
count of this Internationally true as
it is-may meet the eyes of the Boston
party, which perhaps have been con-
graduating themselves with the idea
that rhe facts would never be made pub
lie. But things of this kind are hard
to conceal. Great meaRRess, like murder,
will surely "Outw

he stopped short with choking SEN
sation in his throat.
"We are here, sir, said the clerk,
springing ont to open the door, as the
horses were checked close to the curb
stone.
Yes; but death had been beforehand
with them. =
And so it happened, that Theodore
MerGn's faltering footsteps sounded on
the threshold only to find dead corpse
only to sec Kitty Eswick kneeling on
the floor, with the boys head on her
lap; the sweet angel of mercy, whose
fair face, full of pitying gentleness,
seemed bright with supernsl light.
One hour too late. Oh, time, whose
feet stand never in their remorseless
progress. just one hour too late
How very unfortunate ~ said Mrs
Sinclair. "If / had once imagined that
Theodore Merlin was coming back a
rich man, it would have altered the as
pect Of things very materially. A wild
over, too! Josey, it would have been
a splendid match for you!
Josepha groaned in spirit:
'It's no use talking, mamma. He's
gone down to the Eswick's country
place; and they say he's going to buy
parsonage and furnish it splendidly for
a young minister, aud live there with
him and Kitty, and that boy of his. If
we could only have forseen how matters
were going to happen"
And the June honeysuckles arc swing
ing their coral chalices around the low
caves of the pretty country parsonage
where little Charlie Merlin is playing
in the sunshine; and Kitty glides around,
the prettiest matron one could imagine.
No wonder the young clergyman looks
up from his half-finished sermon, and
smiles as his wife's fresh face peeps
archly in at the study window. While
Theodore Merlin watches the shadows
creep across the velvet lawn, and tries
to believe that a merciful Heaven is
over all

Editor of the Register
| have not seen a letter from this
county in your paper since have been
subscriber. | have long wished that
Twas capable of writing one that would
do TO print.
The people of this county, generally,
believe they have right to have the
capital at Buckhannon, and there is no
doubt it is hard to beat, so far as a
beautiful situation is concerned. But l
will leave that subject for men more
capable of arguing the question than
myself.
Two or three weeks ago there was a
notice circulated through this county
that there would be a capital meeting
in Buckhannon on the following Satur-
day. Quite number of the citizens
of the county assembled in town on
that day, and were called to the Court
House to hear the speaking by Farms
worth and Pinnell, when they soon
found that the meeting was for the pur-
pose of trying to resurrect the Buck
hannOn paper which had been dead for
some time The people were told that
they need not look for the capital un-
less they kept up their county paper,
land if they would subscribe literally
for the paper we would be almost sure
to get the capital at Buckhannon. By
holding out such strong inducements, a
goOdly number of the people put down
their names, and by that means the pa
per came to life and is yet living.
will close for the present. Perhaps
you may hear from me sometime in the
future. ZIMRI.

1t was not q pleasant place for feet
that had been used to the mossy pile Of
velvet carpets-not pleasant place for
eyes that had rested so lately on, pic
tured flowers and stained with the rose
tint of Italian sunsets. A sloping cell
ing. stained with discolored spots from
which the rain dripped, like slow tears;
fireless CRATE; q window whose murky
panes admitted dreary half-light, and,
most dismal of all, a dying man, whose
emn seal of death. No wonder. that
Kitty Eswick's heart stood still within
her as she crossed the threshold.
The child bounded forward and threw
his arms around the postrate form.
"She has come, grandfather,-she has
come, and we stopped and paid the doc
tor, and he's to be here in five minutes,
and there's some wine, and-oh, why
don't you speak to me ~

and thicker across his dim eyes, the
dying man looked up with vague wan
dering vision. ..t.
"Mary Sinclair, had thought to die
as l have lived-alone. But / cannot
leave this little one to battle in soli-
tude with the world. He has neither

Kitty was trembling violently. She
thought of her Strengthened home-of
the slender means which scarcely suf-
feed for the necessaries of life-of the
poor young clergyman to whom she was
betrothed. Then like a flash, the re-
membrance shot across her mind of the
last sermon she had heard him preach,
and its text: "He that gireth to the poor

soft, silver clear tones. ''He shall be to

A light seemed to dawn on the pinch
ed features-a light of rest and perfect
peace. The hands wandered feebly-
the eyes seemed to seek some wished
for object through gathering shadows.

up in sudden terror, "grandpa, speak to

penetrate the shoreless tides of the
