Red Glover.

When red clover is ploughed under to
renovate the soil, and when the crop is
good, the clover roots and stubble, with
barnyard manure, will furnish all the veg
etable matter needed in the soil, while in
feeding clover hay, nearly all the mineral
matter, nitrogen and ammonia is passed,
and may be saved in the manure; so that
on good land where all is well managed
and the clover sod ploughed up while yet
in full vigor so as to secure the largest
benefit from the large mass of roots, early
the full benefit of the clover crop may be
had, both for feeding and making manure.

" Have no Gift.

This assertion is often made by profess
ors of religion. But is it a fact that there
are so many who have no talents, no giftto
converse upon religious topics? Let Us
look into the matter, and endeavor, if pos
sible, to see where lies the difficulty. To
examine or illustrate the subject better, let
us suppose.the following characters to be
professors:
Mr.. Politician can converse earnestly
about politics, and the affairs of govern
ment He can, with much accuracy, relate
the doings of congress, and make you I'M
derstand him, too. He needs not the elo-
quence of Cicero to assist him; but, alas {,
poor man, he has no gift to talk about re-
ligion.
Mr.. Spectator has got piece of proper
ty for sale. He has gift enough to describe
ali is good qualities but unfortunately he
has no gift to describe the exceflencies of
religion.
Mr. Merchant has gothic ability to buy,
sell and get gain. He can tell how profit
able is his business; but he, too, has no
ability or gift to tell the sinner how profit
able it is to secure an interest in heaven.
Mr.. Farmer has sufficient gift to give the
particulars of his affairs. He can easily in.
form you of the products of his farm, and
the value Of his property buthe, likemany
Others, has no gift to talk about the treas
ures in heaven.
Mr.. Historian can tell of the rise aud fall
of empires but he has no gift to tell of the
rise and progress of religion in his soul.
Mr.. Scientific can speak the ancient anc
modern languages with fuency; can solve
the most difficult problem in mathematics
can explain the laws of grayitatiOn, &c
Yet he, with all his acquisitions, is defcien
in one thing-he has no gift to speak 0
the glorious attractions of heaven, or ever
to pray in prayer meeting.
Mr. Traveller can, with much exactness
describe the most noted countries and cit
les of the world but, astonishing. his git
utterly fails him when he begins to conyers
upon religious subjects.
Mrs. Friendship can talk intelligibly up
on the passing events Of the day, She car
with animation, speak Of her good childre
| and neighbors but she, too, lacks a gift t
exhort her children and neighbors to re
) pentance.
t Miss Love-the- Fashions complains tina
E her gift is small she considers herself eS
/ cused But, Notwithstanding, she has abb
= ity to discourse about the latest fashions {
Y the day.
/ So it is obvious that most persons hay
q talents, or gifts, sufficient to transact tn
ordinary business of life. They posses
t ability enough to converse upon everythin
a necessary to a worldly nature. But ey
: IDENTIFY the great difficulty is, many PR
: fessors have lostthe enjoyment of heart te
e piety, and thus have no confidence, no di
e position to speak or pray in the name
/ the Lord. This is the reason, and the on
v reason, why the old story is so often hear
d q have no gifts. H. B. IN lorHi1

Not Justice, but Pardon.

In the days when Napoleon was first
Consul of France, a well dressed girl, four
teen years of age, presented herself alone
at the gate of the palace. By tears and en-
treaties she moved the kind hearted porter
to allow her to enter. Passing from one
room to another, she found her way to the
hall through which Napoleon with his Off
GERS was to pass. When he appeared, she
east herself at his feet, and in the most
earnest and moving manner cried, Par
don, sire pardon for my fathern'
"And who is your lather?" asked Napo-
leon, land who are you?"
"My name is Lajolia," she said, and with
flowing tears, added, ''but, sire, my father
is doomed to die"
"Ah, young lady," replied Napoleon,
81 can do nothing for you. 1t is the sec
ond time in which your father has been
found guilty of treason against the State
Alas" exclaimed the girl, 81 know it
sire; but do not ask justice-I implore
pardon. l beseech you, forgive, o, forgive
my father" s.+.
Napoleon's lips trembled, and his eyes
filled with tears. After amomentary strug
gle of feeling, he gently took the hand o
the young maiden, and said
"Well, my child, for your sake, | vii
pardon your father. That is enough. Nov
leave me-"
Reader, whoever you aIe, know that, a
sinner against God, the cry from you
lips must also be, "Not justice, but pardon
Prayer draws all the christian graces int
its focus. 1t draws charity with her Lowell
train; repentance with her holy sorrows
, faith with her elevated eyes hope wit

THE LOudon Star.u

Arrangements having been effected by
which the material for printing the above
paper will reach Loudon this week, it af.
fOrds us pleasure to state that the irst
number will appear on the day indicated
in last weeks ENTERPRISE, unless by
extra exertion VIC can make our debut on
Saturday, the 10th instant. This, VIC are
at present inclined to believe, we shall be
able to accomplish.
AS before intimatcd, we expect to do
all in our power to promote the material
interests of LOudon county and of East
Tennessee, and thus to make the STAR
in some measure worthy of the generous
support which We are sure will be accord
ell it, 1t will also be our cndeavor h
make the STAR especially attractive to
its patrons as a medium for the publicc-
tion Of local news, of such items of home
Intelligence as always insure a welcome
among its readers to the county paper.
With growing experience in the pub
LEGATION Of county newspapers We expect
to avoid many of the errors 50 common to
all ''new hands at the bellows" yet shall
always strive to appreciate the truth that
o~ycr-con6dencc is sometimes productive
of worse results than that timidity which
ought to be inseparable from a want of
experience.
Those who see fit to encourage our eff
forts by extending their patronage will be
regularly and promptly supplied with the
paper. We expect to be aipays on hand
at the proper time, with a greeting for
our friends, an open and respectful argu-
mcnt for those who see fit to differ with
us, politically or otherwise, and a kindly
word for all.
And as WI expect to be prompt in all
our dealings with our patrons, we shall
look for a practice of the great virtue of
prOmptness on their part, in their deal
ings with US. Without this there is no
enterprise less likely to fully succeed
than the publication of u county paper.

cation, etc. lie said it was not the North,
the South nor any section that gave free
dom to the cOlored people. 1t was the
Union, by enforcing the principles of the
Declaration of Independence, aud the in
spring influences of freedom that cluster
around the American flag, which over
threw slavery. 1t was the united patriot
ism of all sections that gave us a regcne-
rated Republic. There are, and has been,
said the speaker, as many enemies to the
colored race in the North as there are in
the South-populatiUn considered. The
next speaker was r. b. Dowell, who
eviuced considerable shrewdness in debate,
aud we'll tiekled the sons and daughters
of former toll. Mr.. McGuffey was loudly
called upon, but was too much fatigued,
by his exertiOns for Doughty, to say any
thing, and was therefore excused.
Taking the occasion all in all, the col
orod people should be proud of their ad-
vancementtin the science of education.
But it is exceedingly mauscating to hear
men, as a majority of the speakers did on
this occasion, protesting that they always
were "AbolitiOnists."
The colored people passed resolutions
complimentary to Miss Kate Il, Anderson,
who had presided over their school for the
past several months. From what we saw,
Miss Anderson deserves all that praise can
give her for devotion, energy, consistency
and ability as a teacher.

Obituary.

Died, at bis residence June 25tb, Mr..
VIM. Rutherford, one of the early settlers
of Swcetwater Valley. Mr.. Rutherford
sustained during along FIFE the reputation
of an honest and industrious citizen, cs-
teemed by I'LL whe knew him. We are not
aware that he ever made any profession of
Religion, bnt learn that he manifested
great interest apon'the subject in his last
illness, and it is hoped that he made his
peace With a merciful God, who is long
suffering, and willeth not the death of a
sinner, but would rather all would repent
and be saved. Still this is no apology
for procrastination to the living, for theirs
is an interest running through an endless
eternity Of happiness OF misery.

DEATH IS AT THE DOOR.


In all these complaints the system evidently
shows q want of red blood, and Mr.. Churchill,
in his work on Diseases of Females, says
"Beaging in mind that the blood is remarkably
deficient in red corpuscles, and the known prop
ertg of iron TO cirreci tets condition, theory sug-
gcsts it as the most to he relied on, the best Of
which is the Citrate" Citrate of Iron enters
largely into the composition of Female Bittcrs,
combined with powerful vegetable tonics of rare
qualities.
Among the mountains of Tennessee and the pi-
ncy woods of Mississippi, is founo n certain hard
and finty root, which has been in secret use by
some old midwives for many yeors, possessing
magic powers in regulating and restoring all fe-
male suffering with any affection of the womb.
This root we have obtained, gave it flair test in
our practice and ii is now one of the principle
ingredients in these Bitters. Other powerful
uterine and geneIaltOnics also enter into its
composition. We also add Leptandra or Black
root, sufficient to act upon the liver and keep
the bowels open.
