LX PHAM A SON keep a constant supply iq his place; Cabbage Statesman. writing with red In tho late terrific letter of Live Oak George Law on Milliard Fill more, alias Gnstavus Adolphus Scroggs, we are told that ‘ when the reciprocity treaty presented by the British government was under con sideration, Mr. Fillmore said that he saw nothing in it that was seri ously objectionable on bis part ex- ept the word ‘vegetables’ being in the list of free articles. He made a note to strike that out, as it might interfere with the sale of vegetables in the Buffalo market. And this extraordinary reservation is noted in his own hand ink in the original draft preserved in the State Department at Wash ington,’— Mark that. Live Oak George refers to the proof on file,in ‘red ink’ ‘original draft,’ Fillmore’s ‘own hand writing in the State De partment.’— Read further what Live Oak George says upon this point, to-wit: lNow then, with a mind like this at the head of our government, that could see nothing outside a Buffalo garden patch or the Buffalo cabbage market, how was the treaty to be negotiated— involving as it did the great interests o f reciprocity in trade between the U. States and the British N. American Possessions, an area of millions of square miles, and all the vast and varied interests embraced in it? Of course nothing could be done on so large a subject as the reciprocity treaty with a mind so small as the President’s, and the Secretary of State gave it up in disgust, and left it for his successors to arrange.’ the fail- under embracing This, then, accounts foi lire of the reciprocity treaty Mr. Fillmore’s administration, and its transfer to Marcy who put it through. Between a Buffalo gar den patch and a patch on his breech es, Marcy could see the distinction at a glance, and so he adopted the treaty, and that, too, without the slightest detriment to the ‘Buffalo cabbage market.’ Let us clear out all such little cabbage statesmen as Messrs. Scroggs and Fillmore, ‘ who can see nothing outside of a ‘Buffa lo garden patch,’ except the disolu tion of the Union in the event of their defeat to the Presidency.— Names in this day are nothing; for i f ‘Live Oak George’ himself lias been laid up in ordinary, what can we expect of Milliard FillmorQ. or Gnstavus Adalphus Scroggs ? [N. Y. Herald. T a k e C a r e o f t i i e F e e t .— Tho feet should be soaked in warm wa ter, for at least twenty minutes, twice a week, and at the same time rubbed and scrubbed with a brush and soap. Besides this, if they were dipped in cold water of mornings, ankle deep, both in at once, for a single minute, winter an9 summer, having them vigorously and briskly rubbed all the time they are in, then wiped dry and a walk taken, or held to a fire until perfectly warmed, the skin of the feet would be kept in a soft, cleanly, pliable condition, the circulation about them would be vig orous, and the result will be in many inetances. that corns and cal- losties would almost cease to trouble you; coldness of feet would to a consideeable extent,, be removed,and ‘\taking cold” would not occur once where it now occurs a dozen times;, for it is through the feet, that many ot our most serious ailments come. In addition, let us suggest, that one of the most useful of habits, as well as agreable, during all the seasons of the year, in which fires are* kept burning, let the last operation prece ding getting into bed bo, holding the naked foot to- the fire, for ten- or fifteen minutes, rubbing with the hands all the time, until most thor oughly, dry and warm, A good an odyne that. [Hall’s Journal of Health, T h e Use of (lie Eyes. The proper adjustment of the light,, says the Scientific American, is very important to the close reader and student. Alternations of light and darkness distress weak eyes, and de bilitate those which are sound. The sudden transition from dark to light rooms, the degree o f light in the stu dy room, the manner in which the light falls on the page, are all im portant considerations, though ap parently trifling in themselves. Too little light debilitates the eye and compels over-action, while too much dazzles and confuses, and causes a morbid sensibility of the organ. The student should not, after set ting in the dark to meditate, sud denly commence his studies. There should be sufficient light to see easi ly* The light should be equally dis tributed, and not reflected or con centrated. The practice of wearing green shades is bad, unless there is^ a deficiency in tho prominency of the eyes or a peculiar weakness of the sight. Reading or writing by twilight or moonlight, and looking at lightning, are attended with dan ger to the sight. Sitting in front of a window with a book on the knees, sitting with the back directly to an open window, and permitting a strong light to foil immediately up on the paper, holding a candle be tween the eye and book, are all prac tices likely to debilitate the sight.

The Committee on Unfinished Business reported through their Chairman S. M. Bainbridge the following resolutions : Resolved. That we earnestly reccommend to the Churches Com prising this Body, the faithful observance o f the first Monday in Jan uary next, as a day of fasting and praypr, for the general outpour ing of God’s spirit, upon the,Churches, and conversion of sinners. Whereas, Our beloved Republic is now passing through the ag in regard to the latter objection we observe— No cause was evcr yet too just or too holy to dispense with its advocacy. The teach* ings and polity of Christ were of the purest character. Yet he and his immediate apostles displayed unpandleled interest,and per severance in their promulgation. Confiding in the righteousness of his cause, and the purity of his gospel, has the Savior ceased from his labors and neglected to commission holy men to “ preach the Gospel to every creature f* Where would exist the blessings we daily enjoy 1 Had Luther and his coadjutors, from reposing confi dence in the righteousness o f the cause they loved, remained inact ive, what signs of the great Reformation would now be visible! If anything should prove all-potent to stimulate activity and elicit tho offerings o f labor and treasure, it should be the firm belief that we are engaged in a holy undertaking. Because “ the faith once, delivered unto the saints” was “ worthy of all acceptation,” Christ ians were to “ contend earnestly” for it. To secure its triumph, its early defenders shrank not from tho pangs of martyrdom.— Brethren, we should seek no mightier motive to actuate denomina- onies of trial— not only the condition of oppressed humanity being, tional interest than the assurance that our denominational princi- as we sincerclv fear, about to be rendered more intolerable than V 1 ever, and our fair Northern and Wc&tcrn prairies being in danger i of the tread of that worst of all tyrants, American Slavery— but al- ples are faithful transcripts of the teachings of Christ. But we would directly urge this policy for, first—The claim that our organization is based on the word of God. It has ever been so our own personal freedom as whites being absolutely imperiled, the aim of Baptists to incorporate into their articles nothing save Therefore I what is supported by the “ thus saitli the- Lord,” and to reject ev- v: 2. Resolved, That while we feel the importance o f prompt, perse vering effort otherwise, “ we* will give ourselres continually unto prayer,” that God may avert the gathering storm, and save our % already afflicted country. 8. Resolved, that while we remember and sympathise with tliose that are bound, we also feel called uhon to express our admiration of the self-denial, patriotism and true chivalry of our brethren who emigrate to Kansas for the purpose of contributing to the Christian ' » 4 colonization of that country. 4. Resolved, That we earnestly recommend to the churches of this Association a simultaneous rally in the offering of prayer to God, and increase o f our contributions for the Missionary Conven, i tion in this State, which, under God, has been, and if sustained” will yet bo the mother of churches and ministers which will bless the world with their light and zeal. O 17. Resolved, That the thanks of this Association be tendered to both the church and society, and also brethren and sisters of other denominations, in Lyons Hollow', for the very cordial and generous reception they bare given us, and also for the abundance of the good things, springing at first from their God-made hills and de\ lightful valleys, and afterwards so satisfactorily shaped for our com\ fort during the delightful session now about to close. * * ** » Accepted and adopted. 18. The Treasurer made liis Report which was accepted and adopted. Treasurer’s R e p o rt. ery thing that refers “ for doctrines” only to “ the commandments of men.” If our church rests on such a basis, duty dictates that we labor to the extent of our ability to sustain it. If the Faith and Practice o f any Christian organization are more closely identi fied with the volume of Inspiration than ours, we should dissolve ours and unite our strength to that and manifiest for it a cherished and devoted interest. But if we fail to discover such a church, and still have good rea son to regard Baptist principles equal er superior to those other de nominations, then we are in duty bound to make suitable sacrifices, and display an interest commensurate with their importance. Second— In manifesting this interest we but imitate our Savior and his Apostles and godly men of every age.. If our cause is tho cause of truth— if it is a Bible cause— God is interested in its ad vancement, and we are not following him without being interested also. Third— The value- of immortal souls*, whose salvation and eter nal happiness depend upon the enterprise of Christians, should in cite our zeal and stimulate denominational interest nally favored the feeble efforts o f Baptists.

After some appropriate remarks by the Moderator and prayer the Association adjourned. V . L, G arrett , Clerk. D. T. LOCKWOOD, Moderator, TO THE CHURCHES Composing the Yates Baptist Association, been directed towards, and obtained 'spiritual blessings through tho instrumentality of our church. And doubtless tho salvation of millions o f the young and unconverted of our land and of deluded heathen depend on the zeal, the enterprise and the interest we man ifest. Fourth— Example should incite this interest. Those churches which ard most active furnish striking examples o f prosperity,- Take one for instance, No denomination of* our day has been more active, more zealous, and exhibited greater denominational in terest than the Episcopal Methodist, and the consequences are they have been abundantly prospered; their churches have rapidly mul tiplied, and the increase of their memberships have been almost un precedented. W o are next to inquire— How can wc most effectually render this interest subservient in obtaining: the sublime end f It is said “ charity begins at home j” so we commence with Baptist parents at their homes. ♦ 1st— By “ bringing up your children in the nurture and admo nition o f the Lord.” Solomon said “ Train up a child in tho way he should go, and when he is- old ho will not depart from it.” The 11 training and nurture and admonition-” mentioned are not accom plished by express commandment alone. Example, in these, as in other respects, is a- very efficient teacher. Teach your children by your actions that you not only regard Baptist principles, but that you love them, and greatly desire their success. By your prayers at the family altar, and by your instruc tions at the fire-side, exhibit outwardly the hcavt-fclt and half-hidden fact that you love their souls and desire them to obey every com mandment, and walk in every ordinance of God, Impress the lea- son by conveying them to your Sabbath. School. Remain with them and manifest such an interest for their welfare and for their school as will not fail to interest them1 in their studies. Then there are powerful auxiliaries to the dissemination and per manency of our principles. In fact, we hardly conceive of the possibility o f advancement if they are neglected. These auxilia- D eau B rethren :— W e have selected as tho theme for this, our ♦ Annual Latter, Denominational Interest. In practicing this we but | ; iea are dependent, for their success, on the liberality o f our organization in tho aggregate. They are our Bible Societies; for diffusing the word of life. Our Missionary Union for proclaim ing the gospel among tiie heathen. Our Home Mission enterprise for transforming our savage wilds into moral vineyards. Our State Convention for meeting the exigencies of destitute fields in our own State. W e have institutions for preparing the minds of young men effectually to honor the calling for which the spirit o f God has separated them. W e have weekly and monthly messengers of truth asking our patronage. And lastly, though not least, we have a great and noble Publication Society whence flow some of the richest abd purest of modern literature, and whence wo can obtain a valuable, a religious and an interesting Sabbath School Library. All of these institutions appeal, with Christian fervency, to Baptists for support. They are the institutions, not only of Baptists, but we trust of humanity and of heaven. “ Show your faith by your works” Leave them not to rove in the fields and seek idle associates in ed, if their children receive Sabbath school instruction, even among the street d u r in g the Sabbath, but still further manifest yout pa- other denominations, providing the trouble and expense necessarily rental solicitude by preparing them to attend with you the house o f approximate the efforts of other and cotemporary denominations. Most of the prominent religious organizations of modern days, ex hibit denorainationalism by patronising their own publications— by supporting, their own institutions, and by laboring for their own prosperity. Of this principle we complain n o t W e notice it only to incite a similar spirit, and an equal zeal, if possible, among our own people. W e are, perhaps, as indifferent, apparently, in regard to our suc cess, and exhibit quite as much sectarian apathy as either o f the * great denominations existing on our continent. W c doubt whether parents belonging to <5ther sects are as negligent in their early reli gious instruction of their children in the inculcation of their denom- o inational faith— the tenets o f their religion, as Baptists. W e doubt whether other parents manifest equal indifference in respect to the nature and faith of the Sabbath scti&ols their children attend, and the doctrines of the Sabbath School libraries to which they have access. Too many Baptist parents arc satisfied, or at least content- accruing, are thereby obviated. Not nnfrequently Baptists neglect their Publication Society and God and receive instruction from his servant pursue these directions from childhood to majority, and fewer patronize, and thereby support, other and rival establishments, j Baptist parents will mourh over unconverted children, or view the when selecting Sabbath School Libraries; while, almost without ex- | seeking homes in other churches. 2d. Manifest this interest in the community where you reside— thus extendipg your influence beyond the family circle. Identify yourself with Baptists, whether few or numerous— whether weak or strong. Let no false modesty deter you from this. Nay, for no consideration deny, or even dissemble your faith. If none exists make adequate efforts to organise and sustain a Sabbath School and for fear of censure, turn not away from your own Publication Society to select a Sabbath School Library from some rival estab lishment. Again-—if necessary make a sacrifice sufficient to erect a com fortable and suitable house in which to worship God, and provide all the requisite furniture and appurtenances. In this age, no soci ety can safely expect to. engage and retain the interests of their community without a commodious church edifice. Another worthy self sacrificing effort is then needful— to place in its desk a faithfu preacher o f the gospel— one who believes “ the commandment o f the Lord is exceeding broad. ception, when Baptists are one of the parties forming union Sab bath Schools, Baptist libraries are never selected. From the influence of such denominational inertness, wc attrib- w ute the occasion of many' children of Baptists choosing a home with other churches upon the event of conversion. Children have but very little partiality for a church, in whose prosperity and per petuity its members display but a passive desire. W e are con scious that many Baptists are opposed to the adoption of any pol icy in regard to the instruction of their youth and the support o f their institutions, which would convey a Denominational idea.- Their prime objections may bo summed up 1st— the dread o f being styled sectarian, and 2d— believing their cause is just, God will not suffer it to fail. In respect to the former of these we remark:— “ Sectarianism” is a harmless cry. Other denominations disregard it. It entirely fails to invite their fear or affect their modesty.— They have sustained and still do, and will sustain, their Bible and Publication Societies, and the various institutions under their re spective auspices, and will deem us pusillanimous to falter before so mean an obstacle. If this objection is sufficient in oho or more re spects to retard our progress, where will it end ? It is equally sec tarian to support Baptist pastors and erect Baptist church edifices. If our faith and practice are the faith and practice taught in the Bible, he must be weak indeed who, while claiming to be a Bap tist, would blush to advocate and support them.
