104 Ik Jatwilg ®i tdt. Sabbath in the Country. The creaking' wagon’s in the shed; The busy flail is heard no more; The horse is littered down and fed. The harness hangs above his head, The whip behind the door. His leathern gloves and hooked bill To-day the woodman throws aside ; The blacksmith’s fiery forge is still. The wooden wheel of the old mill Sleeps in the mill-dam wide. The miller’s boat is anchored where, Far out, the water-lilies sleep; You see their shadows mirrored there. The broad white flowers reflected clear Within the mill-pond deep. The harrow’s in the garden shed; Hoe, rake and spade are put away; Unweeded stands the onion bed. The gard’ner from his work hath fled, ’T is holy Sabbath day! Upon the wall the white cat sleeps. By which the churn and milk-pans lie; A drowsy watch the house-dog keeps, And scarcely from his dull eye peeps, Upon the passer by. And sweetly over hill and dale. The silvery sounding church-bells ring; Across the moor and down the dale. They come and go, and on the gale Their Sabbath tidings fling. From where the whitewashed Sabbath school Peeps out between the poplars dim, Which ever throw their shadows cool Far out upon the rushing pool. You hear the Sabbath hymn. From farm and field, and grange grown gray From woodland walks and winding way, The old and young, and grave and gay. Unto the old church come to pray, And sing God's holy praise. [ Delnwarian, The Golden Text. The minister of Isley sat in his study late on Saturday night, a weary, disheart ened man; he had just finished a week of arduous duties, and harrassing cares, and he had not expected to preach the next day, as he was suffering from a severe cold ; but his anticipated help had not come, and his sermon was unwritten, and himself in anything but a devotional frame of mind— for ministers, after all, if they are ambas sadors of Christ, are human. Theif physical natures are often weak, and their spiritual condition is not always perfect, even with the divine help they constantly implore. On this night Mr. Redmond leaned his aching head on his study table, and almost wished that he were not a minister, that he might at least provide his family with the comforts they so much needed, that so much would not be expected of him, and so little given in return. He was not even sure that he had the sympathy and prayers of his people, they were so distant toward him, and he felt strongly tempted to have no service on the next day in the church, and so excuse himself altogether. But was that doing his Master’s work ? No. He could not prepare a written ser mon at that late hour in his present de pression of spirits, but he could talk to the people affectionately from the pulpit, as a father to his children. He opened a Bible to select a text, and chose the first his eye rested on: “Bear ye one another’s burdens.” Never had he spoken so impressively as he did on that day; never had the relation of pastor and people seemed nearer to him, or his sacred office of more endearing beauty. He spoke of the saintly fellow ship of Christians upon the earth, and his heart was in what he said. His people had only repected him before ; that day they loved him. There were some narrow-minded men in the congregation; one of these sat the next day in his com fortable home and talked with his wife and children over yesterday’s sermon. “It seems to me Mr. Redmond felt badly,” he said. “I thought so too,” said his wife. “Kitty, I have been thinking over that text, and have about concluded to bear his burden a little.” “How can we do it?” she asked. “I’ve got a sight more of that smooth hickory wood than I can use in two years, and I will give him a couple of cords. I think that will help him a little.” Kitty said, “Yes, do,” and mentally re solved that when pork time came, a snug ham and sausage meat should find its way to the parsonage. Somehow the wood was accompanied with a barrel of flour, the gift of another member, and shortly after a real donation visit made the minister’s home a happy one for that winter, so that he was able out of his small salary to spare the means for a few needed books. But that was not>all that good text did. John Collins was a night watchman at the great warehouse of Baker & Cos. He was a poor man and his wife sick, and do what he would lie not make both ends meet. There was a trifle of money coining to him from a first employer, but it would not be due till three months. If he could bor row that, it would make him straight again. But where could he borrow it ? His com panions were as poor as he. The minister might lend it, for he had been a good friend to John, but he somehow thought Mr. Red mond needed all the money he got. Mr. Baker, his employer, was rich, and he would never need it, but he was very close. John knew that. However, for the sake of his little Nellie at home sick, and his wife a pale sufferer, he made bold to ask, stand ing by the rich man’s desk, and twirling his rimless hat, and telling his story plainly and emphatically. Mr. Baker heard him through, and then looked at him from head to foot. “I cannot help you,” was on his lips, when like an inspiration came Sunday’s text to the mind. “Bear ye one another’s burdens.” And he counted the money and gave it to the man. “You have been honest and faithful in the past, John,” was all he said. Mrs. Weston had never thought to in quire into the circumstances of the woman who did her washing, standing all day at the weary work. But that Monday morn ing, when she went into the kitchen, and saw that bent form swaying to and fro over the steaming suds, she thought of her as a woman and a sister, and by a few questions learned her whole history, a very common one —a widow with four children. Mrs. Weston gave her some warm clothes for her children, and promised to call and see her, and encouraged her by kind words. And Mrs. Weston resolved to never be guilty of such thoughtlessness again. “Bear ye one another’s burdens,” yet sang in her ears and softened her heart. It had been a great wonder to the people of Mr. Redmond’s church to see the old miser, Thomas Fulton, come up the aisle upon the Sabbath. It was still a greater wonder when they heard he had sent to the alms-house for his daughter Mary and her crippled boy. Had the pastor’s sermon touched that flinty heart? Under God’s grace it had. “Can I ever be discouraged again?” thought Mr. Redmond, when he heard of its influence. “Surely the angel of deliverance was near me on that night.” There are other parishes in which that text could be preached with good effect. There are other hearts for it to reach and touch. It has a universal meaning ; for wherever toiling, weary humanity is, there should be learned the golden text — “Bear ye one another’s burdens.” General Sherman at Atlanta. The following letter written by General Sher man in reply to a communication received by him from the Mayor and Common Council ol' Atlanta, during the siege, explains itself. It contains pertinent lessons for the present. Gentlemen : I have your letter of the 11th, in the nature of a petition to revoke my orders removing all the inhabitants from Atlanta. I have read it carefully, and give full credit to your statements of the distress that will be occasioned by it, and yet shall not revoke my order, simply because my orders are not designed to meet the humanities of the case, but to prepare for the future struggles in which millions, yea hundreds of millions, of good people outside of Atlanta have a deep interest. We must have Peace, not only at Atlanta, but in all America. To secure this, we must stop the war that now desolates our once happy and favored country. To stop war, we must defeat the rebel armies that are arrayed against the laws and Constitution which all must respect and obey. To de feat these armies, we must prepare the way to reach them in their recesses, provided with the arms and instruments which enable us to accomplish our purpose. Now I know the vindictive nature of our enemy, and that we may have many years of military operations from this quarter, and therefore deem it wise and prudent to prepare in time. The use of Atlanta for •warlike purposes is inconsistent with its character as a home for families. There will be no manufactures, commerce or ag riculture here for the maintenance of fami lies, and sooner or later want will compel the inhabitants to go. Why not go now, when all the arrangements are completed for the transfer, instead of waiting till the plunging shot of contending armies will renew the scene of the past month? Os course I do not apprehend any such thing at this moment, but 3 011 do not suppose that this army will be here till the war is over. I can not discuss this subject with you fairly, because I cannot impart to you what I propose to do, but I assert that my military plans make it necessary for the inhabitants to go away, and I can only re new my offer of services to make their exodus in any direction as easy - and com fortable as possible. You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty*, and you can not refine it; and those who brought war on the country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out. I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know 1 will make more sacrifices to-day than any of to secure peace. But you cannot have peace and a division of our country. If the United States submits to a division now, it will not stop, but go on till we reap the fate of Mexico, which is eternal war. The United States does and must assert its authority wherever it has power; if it re laxes one bit to pressure, it is gone, and I know that such is not the national feeling. This feeling assumes various shapes, but alwa3 r s comes back to that of Union. Once more admit the Union, once more acknowl edge the authority of the National Gov ernment, and instead of devoting your houses, and streets, and roads, to the dread uses of war, I, and this army, become at once your protectors and supporters,shield ing you from danger, let it come from what quarter it ma3 r . I know that a few indi viduals cannot resist a torrent of error and passion sugli as has swept the South into rebellion; but you can point out, so that we may know those who desire a govern ment and those who insist on war and its desolation. You might as well appeal against the thunder-storm as against these terrible hardships of war. They are inevitable, and the only way the people of Atlanta can hope once more' to live in peace and quiet at home is to stop this war, which can alone be done by admitting that it be gan in error and is perpetuated in pride! We don’t want your negroes or your horses, or your houses or your land, or any thing you have ; but we do want and will have a just obedience to the laws of the United States. That we will have, and if it in volves the destruction of your improve ments, we can not help it. You have heretofore read public sentiment in your newspapers, that live by falsehood and ex citement, and the quicker you seek for truth in other quarters the better for you. I repeat, then, that by the original com pact of the Government, the United States had certain rights in Georgia which have never been relinquished, and never will be ; that the South began the war by seizing forts, arsenals, mints, cuslom-houses, etc., long before Mr. Lincoln was installed, and before the South had one jot or tittle of provocation. I, myself, have seen in Mis souri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missis sippi, hundreds and thousands of women and children fleeing from your armies and desperadoes, hungry and with bleeding feet. In Memphis, Vicksburg, and Missis THE METHODIST ADVOCATE, JUNE 30. 1869. sippi, we fed thousands upon thousands of the families of rebel soldiers left on our hands, and whom we could not see starve. Now that war comes home to you, you feel very different—you deprecate its horrors, but did not feel them when you sent car loads of soldiers, and ammunition, and moulded shell and shot to carry war into Kentucky and Tennessee, and desolate the homes of hundreds and thousands of good people, who only asked to live in peace at their old homes, and under the Government of their inheritance. But these compari sons are idle. I want peace, and believe it can only be reached through Union and war, and I will ever conduct war purely with a view to perfect and early success. But, my dear sirs, when that peace does come, you may call on me for any thing. Then will I share with you the last cracker, and watch with you to shield your homes and families against dangers from every quarter. Now you must go, and take with you the' old and feeble; feed and nurse them, and build for them in more quiet places proper habitations to shield them against the weather, till the mad passions of men cool down, and allow the Union and peace once more to settle on your old homes at Atlanta. Yours, in haste, W. T. Sherman, Major-General. Swpwntitt. Shall We Follow Your Example? Beware of the character of your influ ence, for “no man liveth to himself.” A promising y-oung man, just on the verge of life, was revolving the wine ques tion in his mind. He half inclined to the opinion that there was no harm in drinking a little wine, especially domestic wine, in the social circle. On the other hand, some that loved him were trying to dissuade him from so much as tasting it. Thus the con test went on. He did not wish to incur the ridicule of his young associates by re fusing a little wine if it was harmless. At the same time the animal to which his in tellectual and moral natures had been uni ted, craved whatever food or drink might be agreeable to the appetite. Neither did he wish to grieve his friends who would pledge him to total abstinence. Just at this critical time, a “Wine Wed ding” came off, to which our young man was invited. As soon as the wine-glasses were started round, the contest commenced anew in his mind. Drink, or not drink, was the question. Said he at last, “ I will do as my pastor does.” He watched his minister. (How ministers are watched as much as listened to!) When the waiter offered the wine to the man of God, (so called,) he took the glass without hesita tion, and drained it dry perhaps, or it may be, only touched his lips to its contents. But in either case enough was done. The young man’s scruples were swept away; he followed his pastor’s example; drank until he was merry ; drank after that until an appetite for something stronger was awakened; and then drank something stronger, until he became a drunkard. Those who made the wine-wedding, and the wine-drinking minister, must in the judgment share the responsibility of de stroying a man. Reader, which way does your example point? Not what is the import of your words, but which way do your deeds point? You live on a hill, a small one, perhaps— all the world does not see you, but some body does, and somebody will follow in your wake to heaven or hell. One act of yours, one in which yon may mean no harm, may start a soul on a career whose end is eternal death. How careful should teach ers, college presidents and professors, and ministers, upon whom the eyes of the young so constantly rest, be in respect to the di rection in which their examples point.— M. Home Journal. Moderate Drinking. I know that much is said about the pru dent use of ardent spirits; but we might as well speak of the prudent use of the plague, of fire handled prudently around among powder, of poison taken prudently every day, or of vipers and serpents intro duced into our dwelling to glide about as a matter of curiosity to visitors, and amusement to our children. First or last, in spite of your prudence, the contagion will take, the fatal spark will fall upon the train, the deleterious poison will fall upon the system, and the fangs of the serpent will inflict death. There is no prudent use of ardent spirits but when it is used as a medicine. All who receive it into the system are not destroyed by it. But if an3 r vegetable were poisonous to as many as the use of ardent spirits proves destructive, it would be banished from the table—it would not be prudent to use it all. If in attempting to cross a river upon an elastic beam, as many should fall in and be drowned as al tempted to use ardent spirits prudently and fail, the attempt to cross it that way would be abandoned—there would be no prudent use of that mode of cross ing. The effect of attempting to use ar dent spirits prudently is destructive to such multitudes as precludes the possibility of prudence in the use of it. When we consider the deceitful nature of this sin and its irresistible power when it has ob tained an ascendancy, no man can use it prudently, or without mocking God can pray while he uses it, “ lead us not into temptation.” There is no necessity for using it, and it is presumptuous to do so. In a Nut Shell. —The right to pass a law prohibiting the sale of liquor is con densed into the smallest possible compass, by Rev. Albert Barnes, in a sermon de livered before the Legislature of Pennsyl vahia. The amount of it was : Ist. Society has a right to protect itself. 2nd.

From various persons we learn that in different sections of the country around Atlanta they have beautiful lots and fields of clover. We have read several Jeremiah spirited letters from politicians relative to the future of the State, and we find some men hanging around our city, who are of the same character. Well politicians, or to interfere with them, is no part of our busi ness. Laborers, mechanics, and planters, are the men who are now doing, and can do something for us and our State. Men who will develop Georgia are what we want; men who will cause two blades of grass to grow where we now find one ; who will cut down our forests or make green our fields ; cause villages and towns to spring up ; stud the country with railways, and dot the landscapes with churches and school-houses. Providence has committed a great trust to us, and we should approach that trust de termined to be faithful, making it the ob ject of our pride, and also of our jealous affection. The country around our city could be beautified, and also be made much more profitable. Streams are near enough to us to be brought to our city and their waters be chained to machinery, and mines are sufficiently near to make them profitable. We should be proud of the productiveness of our country, of our people, our climate and natural advantages. On the gold coast of Africa the shade* tree is their house, and their chief toil is to gather perennial fruit, while gold enough may be washed out in an hour to live on a month. Yet there man is a barbarian, op posed to improvement, and but little above the brute. We may not have such fruit, or as much gold, but our citizens and the peo ple around Atlanta are not fully alive to their advantages and the roads to prosperity open to them.—Atlanta Daily Intelligencer. The Farm. Farming is a profession, not to say a science. If any one doubts’this statement let him leave his city home—for no one bred in the country will doubt it—and un dertake to cultivate even a garden of half an acre for the summer. He will then find that knowledge is as essential to the right use of the spade as of the pen, and that there is as great a difference between the scientific farming of Flanders, * where lit erally- not a weed is to be seen, and that of many of our farmers, the wealth of whose soil is about equally- divided between fruits and weeds, as between the trade of a mod ern commercial city and the barter of a backwoods settlement. It is true that ag riculture has been the last to receive the impetus of modern science. It is true that many agriculturists are content to go on in the ways of their fathers, because experi ments are costly. But it is also true that they are unable to compete with those who understand the use of new instruments, methods, and fertilizers. Agriculture is also becoming in this country a popular recreation. Many a gentleman is content to* spend on his country-seat money which he makes in the counting-room. The prac tical farmer is thus able to get the benefit of experiments without paying for them. This change in agriculture, which has con verted it from drudgery to an art, has cre ated a demand for a corresponding litera ture. “Fifty years ago a stable agricul tural periodical did not exist on the Ameri can continent.” Now every considerable district has one, while almost every weekly paper, secular or religious, has its agricul tural department; and it will not be long before something of a library will be a part of the furniture of every well-ordered farm. —Book Table, Harper’s Magazine for July How to Make Bread. —The following directions we find in an exchange, given by a lad3 r sevent3 r -seven 3'ears old, who still bakes her own bread : I take a large earthen pan, put in about two quarts of flour, and if I have cold po tatoes, I grate them, if not I boil sa3 r eight or ten, mash and strain them through the cullender, put lukewarm water to them and add one cup of yeast, then beat it till it looks quite light, then cover it and stand it away until morning, when I take a tablespoon ful of alum and as much salt, put them in a half pint of hot water, stand it on the stove till it dissolves, then pour it in the pan of rising, then put more flour in it till it gets very thick and beat it a great deal; then I put some flour, say five quarts, in the dough tray, and pour the rising in ; I then knead it until it does not stick to my fingers, then cover it until it rises very light; then I work it up considerably and add a very little more flour and make it into loaves, about six, then cover it and let it stand until it gets very light, when I have the stove hot, and it will bake in forty minutes. I think all who use this recipe will agree with me that they will not require either milk, lime water or butter, and will always have good bread. I use the best red wheat flour. I make my yeast in this wa3': Take a handful of hops, boil them about ten minutes in a quart of water, then strain, add a quart of flour, have it boiled when the flour is put in, stir it well and stand it away; when partly cooled I add a teacup of 3 T east. With the thought of a farm garden we always conjure up visions of luscious ber ries, fragrant celery, delicious lettuce, juicy asparagus, appetizing rhubarb, and many other luxuries in the wa3’ of vegetables and small fruits, which any farmer can have in their appropriate season if he will take a little pains to cultivate them. We hope our readers will improve upon our hint, and take immediate measures for making their gardens what they should be. The effect of forests in producing rain has been shown by experiment in Egypt. The climate is dry and rain scarcely ever fell in the upper province, and not more than five or six days a 3’ear in the Delta. But Mahomet Ali having planted twenty millions of trees in these districts, the an nual average has increased to forty days. Publishers’ Department.
