doctrines and unScriptural usageS of the
Pope and his followers, and kept straight
on i'll the faith and practices of the Apos-
tolic fathers. In support of this claim
stands the fact that this church never
went to the German extreme of protesting
against the Episcopal plan established by
the Apostles and adopted and perpetuated
from the very earliest ages of the church.
Lutherans, Reformers, Protestants, are
synonymous terms; in protesting against
the errors of Rome they tore down the
whole Episcopal fabric, and repudiated as
well the institutions of Paul and the apos-
tolc fathers of the first century, as the
claims and practices of the Popes of the
fourth or fifth centuries, and on their ruins
established new church, which, however
closely allied to the religion of Paul in it's
essential articles of faith, is nevertheless in
direct antagonism to, and disregard of, the
church organization of the early DAYS of
Christianity.
In conclusion permit me to say that l
have treated this question as philologi-
cal and historical one, not in any spirit of
religious controversy. | do not think that
forms of church government have any thing
to do with mans religion. His chances
of salvation in my judgment are just as
good in Il church of the sixteenth century
as in one of the first, but the truth of his
tory ought to be vindicated and the natural
tendency of popular language to wrest
words from their true meaning ought to be

For The Cecil Wing
Rev. Mr.. Skinner and Temperance.

The Wig of the 9th ultmo has an art-
Gle from the Rector of the p. E. Church,
Elkton, SO replete with sound sense and
practical wisdom as to be worthy of all
commendation, but for its closing SEN
tences, in which his Reverence tells us that
he is mot temperate" in the sense of
being "total abstinent;' and in justifica-
cation of his "position - adds, 81 am very
sure of the approval of Him whose exam
pie is the only one for temperate and intem-
perate alike" Here Mr. S. assumes-first,
that our Lord made use of wine; second,
that those who use wine now have our
Lords "approval;' third, that those who
are total abstinent " have not our Lord S
approval.
Suppose the first assumption be admit
ted, does it follow that the other two are
well founded We think not, and for sew
eral reasons. In the first place, our Lord
was placed above the moral possibility of
being injured by the use of wine His per-
feet knowledge of what was pure, and what
impure, and also the quantity that could be
used without injury, enabled Him to judge
correctly in regard to the matter. Besides
He had no wrong bias to lead Him astray,
no morbid appetite to crafty. And His
power of sell. control made Him proof
against any temptation to improper indulg-
ence. But no one else can possibly be sur
rounded by such safeguards in the use of
wine, as was our Lord. Hence, no one can
properly plead His "example" in iustifi
cation of that use as beverage. Our Lord
walked on the water, as on a pavement of
marble. But when Peter attempted to fol-
low His " example," he soon began to sink.
And so many who make the example =" of
our Lord their justification for the use of
wine, sooner or later, sink into the muddy
waters of inebriation.
But the assumption that our Lords " ex-
ample is the only one for all, the temper
ate and the Incorporate alike is quite too
strong for Mr.. SINNERS own temperance
principles. From what part of our Lords
example" does he get authority for his
active and we'll meant efforts to restrict the
sale of Intoxicating liquors When and
where does our Lord appear before the
public as an advocate of temperance. dis
tinctively? When and where does our
Lord appear in any organized movement
for the promotion of temperance, or get
ting up petitions to the civil authority on
the subject? We call for chapter and
verse. But as these cannot be given, we
respectfully submit, that in pleading the
example y of our Lord for his own justi-
fication, Mr.. S. goes beyond the record.
For, if that example" is valid against
"total abstinence" it is equally valid
against any organized or specific action for
restricting the sale of intoxicating drinks.
The logic of Mr.. 81 argument would re-

of first consideration; and consequently
it comes back at THE WHIG for pub
fishing from the Treasurer's Report to
the Stockholders the debt item of SIS, 900.
The PRESS doesn't like to hear the bal
looming enterprise mentioned, which the
Society SO extensively V engaged in last
Fall. Week after week the PRESS kept
cut Of Wise's balloon flying in its col
umns, with the announcement, in staring
capitals, that the ascension would be

named. This was all humbug and clap

business of an agricultural society,"
The Society had a severe attack of

similar quackery, are calculated to de-
base and deprave the taste for agricul-
ture, and the society which resorts to
them caters to the mountebank spirit of
the vulgar, in the hope of replenishing
its cash box, and is discouraging agri-
culture in place of doing that which it
processes to be nobly employed in
Perhaps the Press does not know that

don't mean to say that the Society is

Care OF Hogs.

The hog is accustomed to a great variety of
food He will eat animal and herbaceOas food
alike-there is nothing that comes amiss TO him,
and he thrives upon all To select food for him,
then, is not the thing. Though you can fatten
him on one kind of food, you cannot do so econ
omically. Take whatever breed you like, and it
is economy in producing the greatest results
from q given amount of food; that is the point
that gives the profit in hog husbandry. The
cheapest food, then, is to be sought if il answers
the purpose. By the cheapest we mean also
that which he relishes and thrives upon. Corn
alone, though the great hog feed (made q spe-
cialty) is not the most advantageous. The ex-
ception to this is the west, where corn is very
cheap But even there, other grain and feed ad-
ded, will produce 9 better growth of muscle
and fat.
All animals require O variety Of food, and the
hog is no exception. His appetite will then he
satisfied, and all the wants of his system be sup
piled. Grass in Summer suits him; he revels in
a clover field. Milk suits him all the year round
and assists q rapid growth. Milk contains o
great variety of elements in solution, and is an
aid to the digestion of more solid food. He likes
vegetables; they stimulate his appetite-not on
'ly for the vegetables, but for the more eoncen-
trated and richer food. Though hog, he is
governed by the same physiological principles as
other animals and is, therefore, liable to disease,
to many ailments; but most of these are caused
by abuses in Dsdnagement. Where be is well
attended to and supplied with variety of good
food, he seldom suffers from disease.-E<.

Feeding stosIe In Ihe winter.

In travelling over the country in the Winter
season, one will almost invariably see some very
POOR stock, such cows, sheep and hogs. Some
times, too, we see horses that are reduced in
flesh to make it doubtful whether they will
be useful again. We have seen just ssch spcci-
MEMS too, when the farm tn which they belong
ed was dotted over with straw STACKS fOd-
der, etc. We don't see how farmers who so
fortunate as to have plenty of straw and corn
fodder can thus allow their stock to suffer, rath-
er than to feed it to them. If cows, hogs and
sheep are worth keeping at all, they are worth
keeping we'll. And the farmer who thinks he
can make more by starving his stock through the
Winter, and selling his straw and fodder, there
by depriving his over worked land of its needed
fertilizers, is sadly mistaken. When Spring sets
in, his stock are reduced in flesh and strength
that it will require at least three times the usual
amount Of feed to bring them up into good con>
-dition again. A horse that has been thus starv-
ed during the Winter is very weak in the Spring.
By putting him right into hard work and strong
feed he soon fails; breaks down under the lash
of bis masters whip, and is ruined forever. We
believe it to be of the most sinful things
that any human being can perpetrate on the
dumb creature to starye all Winter, and when
Spring comes to hitch him to big pillow, and
when the ribs and hip-bOnes almost penetrate
through his skin, start him out into the field, ex-
pecting him to perform the labor of large, fat
horse, that has been well taken care of during
the Winter, and is now stout, healthy and yigor-
GUS.
We love to see nice, fat, plump horses, smooth
haired cows, and well fed hogs at all times.
There are two ways to have such: first, by get
ting good breeds, and second, by feeding well.
We shall always fluid that the owner of such
stock is blessed with prosperity. The old pro-
verb SAYS, "Whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing well."-CiRciHRdti Gazette.

that took passage in the "ConcOrdla," for one
of the up-river landings. As is the case most
of our packets, the company was pleasant one
sociable, and tolerably well acquainted. 1t was
difficult matter, therefore, to "insuuate" a
social game of euchre, by way of relieving the
mOnOtOny of the trip. A tall, hardy sou of the

of the game, and was finally invited, when va

A cold is simply development Of diseased con-
ditiOu, which may have been latent or requiriD g
the flame of disease. That this is usually the
correct view of cold as disease producing agent
under ordinary circumstances, may be made PLAN
by reflection upon personal experience even to the
most ordinary understanding. When the human
body Is at It's prlme-with youth, vig0r, purity
and good constitution on its sdc-no degree
OF ordinary exposure to cold gives rise to any
unpleasant effects. All the ordinary precautions
against colds, coughs and rheumatic pains may be
disresarded and no i'll effects ensue. But let the
blood become impure, let the body become de-
ranged from any acquired disorder, or let the
vIgor begin to wane, and the infirmties of age be
belt by occasional arrangements in some vital
part, either from inherited or acquired abuses,
and the action of cold will excite more less
disorder of some kind, and the form of this dis
order, or the disease which will ensue, will be
determined by the kind of pre-existing blood iu-
purity, or the pre- -existing fanlt of organic pro-
cesses. Ii follows from these facts and consider
atiOns that the secret of avoiding these unpleas-
ant consequences, thought to spring wholly from
the action ofcold upon the body, has little DEEPEN
dance upon exposure, but a great deal upon an
impure and weak condition of vital process. In
other words, with an average or superior consti-
tuition and an intelligent observance of all the
laws of health, men and women could not take
cold if they wanted to; they might be exposed to
the action of cold to degree equal to beasts of
the field, and with like mpuuity. But in case
OF persnns with feeble constitutions, and who dis
regard, knowingly or otherwise the condition of
healthy existence, M degree of care will prevent
the taking Ofcold, as il is termed. They may live in

upon the anatomy of the human body, and, stand

and limb he inquired how many bones he was

at first, but after it had been answered correctly,
the question was asked If any of the scholars
thought differently.
A little fellow, not yet in his teens, raised his
hand Immediately, signifying, that he disagreed
with his schoolmates and the teacher repeating
