A Hymn and a Chant for the
Harvest Home.
BY THE AUTHOR OF “ PROVERBIAL PHIL
OSOPHY.”
I.
0, nation, Christian nation,
Lift high the hymn of praise,
The God of our salvation
Is love in all his ways ;
He blesseth us, and feedeth
Every creature of his hand,
To succor him that needeth,
And gladen all the land !
11.
Rejoice, ye happy people,
And peal the changing chime,
From every belfried steeple
In symphony sublime;
Let cottage and let palace
Re thankful and rejoice,
And woods, and hills, and valleys,
Re-echo the glad voice !
111.
From glen, and plain, and city
Let gracious incense rise,
The lord of life in pity
Hath heard his creatures’ cries,
And where in fierce oppressing
Stalk’d fever fear, and dearth,
He pours a tripple blessing
To fill and fatten earth !
*
IV.
Gaze round iii deep emotion;
The rich and ripened grain
Is like a golden ocean
Becalmed upon the plain ;
And we who late were weepers
Lest judgment should destroy,
Now sing, because the reapers
Are come again with j.oy!
V.
0 praise the hand that giveth—
And giveth evermore—
To every soul that liveth
Abundance flowing o’er!
For every soul he filleth
With manna from above,
And over all distilleth
The unction of his love.
VI.
Then gather, Christians, gather
To praise with heart and voice
The good almighty Father,
Who biddeth you rejoice ;
For he hath turned the sadness
Os his children into mirth,
And wc will sing with gladness
The harvest-home of earth !

India.
You have heard of the mutiny in In
dia, which the newspapers tell of.
‘‘What is a mutiny perhaps some
little child•anay ask. A large part of
India is tnfisc-r the rule of the English,
and a large army is kept up to support
the English authority. A great many
of the regiments are native soldiers,
most of them Hindoos, hut many of
them Mohammedans. These soldiers
are called sepoys. A few months ago,
several regiments refused to obey or
ders, killed their officers, and set t hem
selves against the English govemmani
Tin* reueitmn-or the soldiers is called
a mutiny. I will tell you more about
it v nen ne learn how the mutiny will
ond. Perhaps the English have not
always treated the natives as kindly
and justly as they should; but the En
glish rule has been good to that dark
land. I nder its protecting wing, the
missionaries have gone there to preach
the blessed Gospel.
should 3on not like to know some
thing about that country ? It is called
llindoostan. Yon will” find it on the
map oi Asia, and a very large country
it is, containing one hundred and sixty
millions of people. The word Hindoo
stfxn means “ black place.” You may
think, therefore, that the people are
very dark. They are not quite black,
but rather an olive-brown.
lhe largest river ot llindoostan is
called the Ganges. It flows by many
mouths into the ocean, but only one is
largo enough for ships to sail in ; this
is called the Ilooglcy—the others are
choked up with sand. God made this
river to be a blessing, but man lias
turned it into a curse. The Hindoos
® A the riv or is the goddess Gunca, and
they Hock from all parts of India to
worship her. When they reach the
river, they bathe in it and fancy all
their sins are washed away.
They think all who die there will go
to the Hindoo heaven. It is therefore
tiie custom to drag dvingpeople out of
their beds, and to “lav them in the
mud, exposed to the heat of a broiling
sun, and then to pour pails of water
over their, heads. One sick man, who
was carried to the water covered up as
if lie were dead, suddenly threw off
the covering, crying out,” “I am not
dead, I am only illfor he knew they
were going to cast him into the water
while stiii alive ; but nothing he could
say could save him. The cruel crea
tures answered, “You might as well
die now as any time;” and so they
drowned him, pretending all the time
to be very kind.
On a large plain by the banks of the
Iloogley the Hist English city was
built by some English merchants. It
is called Calcutta; and a very grand
city it is. Dotted over this plain are
many villages. Ob, wliat wretched
places to live in ! The huts are hard
ly big enough to hold human beings,
nor strong enough to bear the peltings
of the storm. They have neither floor
nor window, neither chair, nor table,
nor bed: nothing but a large earthen
bottle for fetching water, a smaller one
for drinking, a few earthen pans, and
a mat. Prowling round tlie villages
are hungry dogs and whining jackals ;
men are smoking under the trees, and
children without clothes are rolling in
the dust. What a confused noise do
yon hear as you pass along—barking,
whining, squealing, laughing. It is a
heathen village, and the sweet notes ot
] >raise to God are never sung there. —
In every village there is a little tem
pie with an idol, and a priest to take
care of the idol, to lay it down to
sleep and to offer it food —which the
priest eats himself.
No nation has so many gods as the
Hindoos. How many ‘< Three him.
dred and thirty millions. No one can j
know the names of all these gods. —
Some are snakes, and some are mon
keys. The chief god of all is called I
Brabm; but no one worships him. lie I
is too great, they say, to think of men.
Next to him are three gods, which are
a part of Bralirn —Brahma the creator,
Vislmoo the preserver, Siva the destroy
er. The Hindoos make images of their
gods. Brahma is represented as riding
on a goose, Yishnoo on a creature half
bird and half man, and Siva on a bull.
The Hindoos pretend that when Brah
ma created men, lie made some out of ;
his mouth, some out of his arms, some j
cut of his breast, and some out of his j
feet. The laborers came from his feet, j
the merchants from his breast, the sol-!
diers from his arm, ad the priests from ;
his mouth; so that the people are cli- j
vided into distinct classes, or “castes,” 1
as they are called in India; and they
cannot rise from the one in which they
were born, neither do they eat or visit
together. The priests are very proud j
of their high birth, and are called
Brahmins. Great respect is shown
them. The water in which a Brahmin
has washed his feet is thought very ho
ly. It is even believed that such wa- ;
ter can cure diseases.
A Hindoo prince, who was very ill
of fever, was advised
cdy. He invited the
all parts ‘ * at
. Many thou^^^^Re. —
Each as lie arrived was
his feet in a basin. This was the med
icine given to the sick prince xodrink.
It cost a great deal of money to pro
cure it, for several shillings were giv
en to each Brahmin, and a good dinner
provided for all. It is said that the
prince got well immediately : but we
are quite certain it was not the water
which cured him.
If you were to invite poor Hindoos
to come to a feast, they would not eat
if you sat down with them; nor would
they eat unless they knew a Hindoo
cooked their food. Even children at
i school will not eat with children of a
lower caste, or with their teachers, if
their teachers are not Hindoos. There
was once a little Hindoo girl named
Rajee. She went to a missionary’s
school, but she would not eat with her
school-mates, because she belonged to
a higher caste than they. As she lived
at the school, her mother brought her
I food every day, and Rajee sat under
a tree to eat it. At the end of two
years she told her mother that she
wished to turn from idols and serve
the living (rod. Her mother was much
troubled at hearing this, and begged
her child not to bring disgrace upon
the family by becoming a Christian.—
But Rajee was anxious to save her
precious soul. She cured no longer
for her caste, for she knew all she had
I been taught about it was folly; there-
I fore one day she sat down and ate with
her school-fellows. V. hen her mother
heard of it, she ran in a rage to the
school, and seizing her little daughter
by the hair, heat her severely. Then
she ran to the priests to ask them it
the child had lost her caste. “Tlas
she got her new teeth?” asked the
priests. “ No,” said her mother. —
“Then we can cleanse her,” said they;
“but you must pay us a great deal for
it.” It was the money they thought
most of. It was paid, and Rajee was
brought home against her will. Dread
ful sufferings awaited the poor child.
The cleansing was a cruel business. —
One thing was to burn the child’s
tongue. When little Rajee was suf
fered to go back to school, she was so
ill she could not rise from her bed.—
The poor deluded mother came to see
her. “I am going to Jesus,” said the
little martyr. The mother began io
cry. ‘Oh Rajee, we will not let you
die,” she said.
“But I am glad,” said the little suf
ferer, “because I shall go to Jesus. If
you, mother, would love Him, and
give up your idols, we should meet
again in Heaven.” A little while af
terwards Rajee died; and we trust she
is now one of those who, “from India’s
coral strand,” are praising her Re
deemer in Heaven.

American Cotton Planter.
Eow to make your Bacon.
To Planters : How much open land
have yon over and above that which
you devote to the culture of cotton and
corn? If you have none, it is high time
you were clearing.
I hope the high price of bacon, pork,
lard, Hour, Ac., has convinced you
that a radical change in the policy hith
erto pursued by the great majority of
Southern planters, is necessary to our
highest prosperity; if it has not, i!
would be folly to attempt to convince
you by argument, that it would he for
our interest to raise such supplies..
Wo have long suffered ourselves to
be tickled with the notion that “-Cot
ton is King”—never was there a great
er fallacy. “ The life is more than
meet, and the food more than raiment.”
Corn and hogs are the true Kings, and ‘
so long as we consent to pay tribute j
on every bale of cotton or hogshead of
sugar v;e raise, to the bitterest enemies •
of all Southerners—so long as we con
tinue to enrich the citizens of “Porko
polis” and kindred hot beds of aboli- j
tionisrn from our abundance, they will
consider a few flattering epithets “cheap
bids for our favors.
It is self evident that a planter in or
der to enjoy the greatest amount of in
dependence and the highest state of
prosperity, must raise his own provi
sions, at least so far as the climate will
permit, and there are very few edible ‘
plants of 1 lie temperate zones, that we
cannot raise, at some season of the
year, besides many which properly be
longs to the tropics.
As to the raising of corn, - I would j
say, take lessons of Clias. A. Peabody, j
Esq., as be seems to have succeeded I
in raising more corn to the acre than
any other planter. But the meat.—
Every one has his favorite plan for
raising hogs, (that is if he has any plan
at all.) and I also have mine and per
haps I may be able to suggest some
things which will be worth a trial.
I start, in the iirst place, with the
supposition that you have land enough i
! cleared to let at least one third rest
j every year, and are improving your
soil instead of wearing it out.
The iirst requisite in raising meat
economically, is the selection of the
breed of hogs which will attain the
largest size with the least feed at from
twelve to eighteen months old. I pre
fer the Suffolk or Berkshire, though
the Irish Grazier is a good hog, but
coarse. After you have found the
: breed to suit you, take some pains to
prevent their degenerating, which they
will he sure to tfo if left solely to the
care of the negro feeder; remember
! that all choice breeds are made by
i judicious crossing, the selection of the
best breeders, and plentiful feeding ;
j the liog that has to travel ten miles in
; a day to root up a living, can never be
| large. I am satisfied that one great
; cause of the degeneracy of our breeds
i of hogs is, that the sows are suffered to
have pigs too young; if you wish to
have your sows grow to a large size
themselves, and bring and raise large
litters ot strong, thrifty pigs, do not
allow them to have pigs before they
are fifteen or sixteen months old. —
Have a lot and pen for your boar, so
arranged that you can turn a sow into
him or out without disturbing him
much ; never suffer him to serve a sow
before he is a full year old, nor to serve
; the same sow more than once during
tlie same period of beat ; by pursuing
this course, he will always he in a vig
orous condition, and his get will show
it ; change your hoars sufficiently of
; ten to avoid breeding in and in, and
you will be paid well for the time and
attention you bestow upon this stock.
I think the unpopularity of blooded
j stock with planters has mainly arisen
from neglecting the above rules.
Clear enough land to pasture ail
your hogs during the summer, and di-
I vide it into five or six fields. Sow two
| of them in rye very early, say Septem
: her first, one in black oats iii October,
one in spring oats; plant one in peas
very early, say May first cither the
Ch nese Prolific or Carson, alias six
week pea, and the last in pindars.
The fall sown rye and oats will make
excellent winter pastures for your milch
cows and calves, and will be most ex
cellent pastures lor young hogs from
the time the rye is in milk. The pea
field will be ready for them by the
time the grain field are eaten out;
then turn your meat bogs into the pin
dars. As soon as tlie first pastures are
I eaten out, drill them in peas for your
; stock hogs, or turn a part under and
harrow to mow and plant pease in the
remainder, into which turn your hogs
when you put your meat hogs in the
pindars ; sow turnip patches from the
j middle of July to the middle of Octo
i her to boil for your hogs and cows
i during the winter after the field are
• eaten out, thus with very little corn
i and cotton seed, young hogs will he in
a thriving condition the whole year.—
■ The best method of cooking, for stock,
is by steam. Make a square box open
i at one end, and suspend it between two
posts, so that it can have its open end
turned down to empty out the cooked
1 | food; make a wooden cover to fit an
• : ordinay pot tight, with a wooden tube
: leading up into your box and the appa
’ j ratus is ready For use.
i- After your meat hogs have eaten
out the pindars and potato patches put
them in floored pens, not more than
four or five in each pen, (one in a pen
would be still better.) furnish them
with plenty of leaves and straw to
make their beds, which will be the very
best manure, and feed on food with an
occaional feed of dry corn, for a varie
ety, when they seem to be cloyed I
generally give them when first put up,
corn boiled in water, in which a quart
i of hard wood ashes for every ten hogs,
and a little copperas; (sulphate of iron)
rs put two or three times; then on boil
ed hommony, putting in a quarter of
a button of Nnx Yoinieo to each hog
twice during tlie fattening; the last
three days before killing, I feed on dry
corn ; while feeding on cooking food, I
: give no water except wliat is contained
in the mush.
| When hogs are in pea fields, they
; should have an abundant supply of salt,
indeed I think they should have ac
: cess to it at all times; lumps of rock
salt are the best for all kinds of stock,
i as they will never cat too much of it.
My meat does not shrink in cooking,
nor are tlie hogs wormy.
——
Parsnips as a Field Crop.
We copied into the Rural last spring,
an article recommending the field cul
ture of parsnips for stock, and thought
We would try the experiment in order
to satisfy ourself on the subject. We
accordingly sowed side by side of our
mangel wortzels and carrots a few rows
of parsnip seed, and tended them as
we did the other roots. The soil was
tlie same in all respects. The parsnips
were more easily wed out and tended
than the carrot, because they came up
with a broader leaf and were more
easily distinguished from the weeds.
They grew luxuriantly—many of them
‘ as large, at the crown, as a man’s arm
and rooting down so deep, that if the
Chinese on the other side of tlie earth
had suspected their opportunity they
might have drawn them through for
their own benefit. The result was
that the same quantity of ground gave
us twenty per cent, more of parsnips
than we harvested of carrots, and about
an equal weight with mangel wortzels.
We have dug one half of them—only
twenty bushels—for winter’s use and
the other half we have left in the
ground to he taken out in early spring
as a fresh and delicious repast for the
new milch cows then. They are im
proved by being kept in the earth
through winter. This is an additional
recoinmenddation in their behalf.—
Rural Intelligencer.
Upward of seventy-five thousand
dollars lias already been raised of the
sum required for tlie purchase of Mount
A ernon. Two hundred thousand dol- (
lars is the sum demanded for land and j
buildings. t
For the first time in many years, 1
Russia is about to send a full embassa- i
dor to England—Baron Brunow. The (
old friendly feeling would seem to be
restored at last.
Rev. T. J. Bowen.
From the Home and Foreign Jour
nal, we gather the following facts :
It will be gratifying to the Iriends
of this brother to know that liis health
is essentially improved, aud that he is
contemplating a return to his field. —
At present lie is superintending the
publication of his Yornba grammar
and lexicon, which are about to be
brought out by the Smithsonian Insti
tute. During the spring lie will pro
bably visit some of the Southern and
Southwestern States procuring men,
white and colored, to go With him to
Yoruba, and funds to sustain them.—
It is of the highest importance that
this great and interesting field, which
God in his providence has opened to
our Board, should be well cultivated.
Will not the spirit of missions he so
much increased in our churches as to
force out many of their best men to
the occupancy “of this field, and to call
down by earnest prayer the Divine
benediction.
In the Baltimore True Union, he
thus asks for young men to aid in the
Central African Mission :
The Foreign Mission Board have de
termined on the establishment of a
Manual Labor School in Yornba for
the training of coloring missionaries,
pastors, and school teachers ; and have
made it my ollect funds, and
seek for three or four good and pious 1
young men to go out with me, and en
ter the school as students. We are
anxious to find at least a blacksmith, a
tinner and cooper and a bricklayer,
who may instruct other students in
these arts.
We propose to labor from two to
three hours daily in our shops, farm
and garden ; ana this with the aid of
our sheep, goats, and fowls, wo think
will nearly or quite support the estab
lishment. But we must appeal to the
brethren here for money enough to pay
the passage of our mechanics, and to
purchase tools, books, etc., and a year’s
provisions.
We (and especially I,) are anxious
to find a proper white brother, who
may take charge of the literary depart
ment of our school leaving the Bibli
cal and industrial department chiefly
to myself.
I would he very thankful to any
brother, who would even try to find a
suitable colored man to go out with
me to Yoruba, so soon as 1 can get rea
dy to return.
My heart has been much set on this
work for several years. The Lord has
already blessed us with a beginning
sufficient to authorize the establish
inent of our school, and 1 feel the grea
test assurance that he will al ways con
tinue to supply us with a sufficient
number of native candidates for the
ministry. If we can only send forth
ten or “fifteen faithful self-sustaining
preachers every live years, all Central
Africa may soon hear the gospel from
the lips of tlieir own country men. But
the preaching of such men is not the
only advantage to he derived from
their existence. They will form a mid
dle class of men, who will receive and
transmit our influence to the people,
thus giving the gospel a power over
their hearts, which we cannot expect
while there are but two classes in the
country —the civilized white preachers
and tlie barbarous black hearers. It
is impossible for us to approach so
near the people in thought and sympa
thy as we desire.
Yours in Christ,

ROGER WILLIAMS’ BAPTISM,
AND DID OUR BAPTISMS COME
FROM HIM?
W'OULD you inform youj*elf all about it, and
possess all the documents and authorities,
prepared by Elder Adlam and Quoted by Duncan
in his history of Baptists ? Inclose fourteen cent
Stamps iii a letter to Graves, Ijlt.rks & Cos., for a
copy of the “Trials and Sufferings for Religious
Liberty in New England.”
The Religious Herald, Va., thae speaks of this
work: *
1 “ This well executed f ohtme ecurfvses two dis
tinct works. The last is a strict and rigorous his
torical investigation, and clearly establishes, we
think, that the present Baptist Church in Provi
dence was not founded by Roger Williams, and
that “the thing like a church” (as Cotton Mather
expresses it) which Roger Williams did found, soon
“came to nothing.” These are important facts ;
as refuting the popular cavil, -worn thread-bare by
constant use—that the baptisms of our denomina
tion in this country, descend from the informal ad
ministrations of Roger Williams, and arc therefore
equally invalid with the immersions of Pedobap
tists.
The work with which the volume opens, is “a tale
of the first Baptist blood shed in America, and very
well answers the modest profession of supplying a
narrative to tie together authentic historical facts
which if left disconnected in the mind, are apt to
jbe lost from memory. It will have many readers.”
! Elder A. M. Poindexter, editor of the Commis
sion, Richmond, Va., thus notices it:
Trials and Sufferings for Religious LinF.RTY
in New England —The oldest Baptist Church in
America not the Providence Church. By the same
Editors and Publishers. Comprised in a neat vol
ume of 215 pages.
The first is a record of some of the sufferings in
flicted by the puritans upon the Baptists in their
early history in New England. It is a thrilling nar
rative. We hope it will be extensively read. I*
is not for us to forget what our fathers endured in
maintaining the principles, owing to the triumph
of which we now enjoy liberty to worship God ac
cording to the dictates of our consciences. The
second seems forever to set at rest, if it were pos
sible to stop the mouth of vituperation, the stale
charge that the Baptists of the United States origi
nated with Roger Williams, and the “thing like a
church” established by him in Providence, R. I.

| menced. * * * While it is admira
j bly fitted for our colleges, it is also well adapted
j to our academies and high schools.”
From the New York Tribune.
J “ With one exception we must regard this vol
! nine as the most important contribution to mental
j science as yet furnished by an American scholar,
i * * * Prof. Haven lias performed his
j task, in our opinion, with eminent success. * *
j His learning is not only various, but genuine, and
‘ is brought forward with the simplicity which shows
j that he is accustomed to its use, and has not pick
!edit up for the occasion. But it is the clearness
j and penetration of his own intellect which gives its
| chief value to his treatise. Each of the problems,
I which are here presented, has received an inde
j pendent'solution from the personal reflection of
i the author, and the result is stated witli the logical
method and orderly expression which are the best
j proofs of the mastery of the subject. For a col
: lege text book it has the cardinal merits of preci
i sion, accuracy and lucidity, while its aptness of il
■ lustration and richness of philosophical learning,
j commend it favorably to the general student of
j science.’
From the Congregationalist.
“ We are not surprised to learn that it has been j
adopted at once in several of our best institutions.
At the same time it is not wanting in the more j
j popular elements of perspicuous description, lucid j
1 illustration, elegant taste, and lively imagination, j
Such is the fascination with which the accomplish- j
ed taste and graceful style of the author have in- ;
! vested these abstruse subjects, that he who takes i
up the hook will be slow to lay it down again. *
1 * * One has- only to look over the table of j
contents to see the exhaustless fulness and master
ly analysis which characterize the work.”

“ One of the very best Juveniles I have ever

in a voyage to Gibralta, Genoa, Rome, Naples,
Athens, Smyrna, Constantinople and Egypt, de

pleasing and uselul.’

FAMILY SEWING MACHINES,
Promote the leisure, health and happiness of hon e.
REASONS WIIY THIS MACHINE IS UNIVER
SALLY PREFERRED OVER ALL OTHERS.
1 BECAUSE it is the only Sewing Machine in
• the world ever invented, so constructed as
to fully meet the demands of families, for general
use.
2. It is very simple and is never liable to get out
oi order.
3. It makes a seam which will not rip, though
every third stitch is cut.
4. It is not, a Shuttle Machine.
6. It sews with two needles, making any length
stitch desired.
6. It sews from two ordinary spools, and thus
all trouble of winding thread is avoided ; while the
same Machine can be adapted at pleasure, by a
! mere change of spools, to all varieties of work.
7. The same Machine runs silk or linen thread,
, and common spool cotton, with equal facility.
8. This Machine will sew in the slieves of a coat
with the same ease and facility that it sews a straight
, seam.
<J. This Machine can be run to make one thou
sand five hundred stitches per minute.
10. The seams are clastic as the most elastic
fabric, so that it is freeborn all liability to break in
washing, ironing or otherwise.
11. The stitches made by this machine are more
| beautiful than any other made either by hand or
machine. For sale by
