We find the following short but decided
| "Hnrd SheH .Sermnn" going the rounds Of the
papers without sign of credit, although the
scene, as they have it in theatrical parIance,
is laid in the interior of Kentucky. 1t is aver

or haran"ue really deli vered BE this rs

ment and sickness to text, the Spontaneous
efforts Of the clerical hero who played SO Justify
upon Harp Of Thousand Strings But

and bury it = and afterward, when you went
out to sec the grave of your little one YOU
found they had laid her down and sprinhlcd a
little earth over her What would YOU have

Suppose again, that in the fall of the year,
you had dug your potatoes, your turnips, Your
parsnips, and your other roots for winters use,
and had dug trench to bury cm in; and YOU
had said to your servant: Sally, take the house
gang and go and bury those potatoes, those

The man who gets above the day IN

man society as it is, cannot fail to see
much evil that might be eradicated
which divides and separates comrauni-
ties Of people, that else might be uni
ted in bonds of brotherhood and pleas-
ant fellowship. Dull indeed is the
comprehension and narrow the sight OF
him, who thinks that man is not capa-
bic of many more and better things
The progress Of society is onward and
upward, notwithstanding dark days,
occur in in the march, and clouds OBJ
scure the unmarked pathway Of the
future. Greater problems have yet to
be solved in human society and gov
ernmert than have been in times past,
else the world would abruptly come to
an end and the old clock Of time run
down forever. How happy might the
dwollors in all this mile square, be;
any one and every one can readily i'm
agine. The causes why it is not SO,
can very readily be pointed out they
are the same that exist elsewhere on
the earth, producing civil war, intes-
tine wickedness and crime. False no
tons Of what is really the true Chris
tan religion of peace and good will to
all mankind is one of the great dis
turbing causes, perhaps the principal
Now we have our four years fever and
faction and fanaticism divides us
There is quite as much of it in the
South as the North. The American
party with its principles deep rooted
in every native heart, has done much
to arouse national prejudice and dis
turL the social relations yet we can
not see why it should, when fairly I'M
derstood. We can see no reason why
man in contending for principles
actuated by national feelings that all
mankind are proud to claim as com
mon herltage-we cannot see why
this should disturb the social aud do
nestle relations. But that it does, We
find abundance of evidence at every
street corner.
Glad indeed are we that few more
brief days will close the record, which
will be put quietly to rest by the side
of similar documents of the past, to
moulder, m,ldew and be forgotten
Then-whateyer the issue may be, we
hope to see all former differences
