The Value of the Union.

When we were a boy, the Union of these
States was never spoken of but with af
lection and confidence. Our fathers and
mothers never spoke of it as if dissolution
were among the possibilities. If a young
person spoke of its value as being ANYTHING
less than beyond calculation, he was regard.

Ii a word were uttered in d-isparagement, old
people trembled as the Jews did when the
sacred ark was touched by unholy hands.
Our very nature was first interviewer with
a love Tor the Union, American youth grew
up with the strongest and most fixed attach.

edg Our ears have become familiar with the
cry OF dlsunion. For many years it has been
regarded as the ebullition of nassion-tbe
frenzy of fanatics-the w~atchword of disor.
ganizers. But the events of a few months
have produced a revulsion in the South we
never dreamed of witnessing in our day.
Inc wise, the sober, the discreet men of the
South are calculating its value, and it only
remains for the North to cut forever the cord
which has bound US together.
The thought is beyond measure distressing.
The untold evils of such a catastrophe are
pressing in teview before the imaginations of
the Southernl people, and their decision will
soon be entered up. Is there no remedy p

is the man who at this crisis can step forward
and save the Republic? Alasl we look until
our eyes are dim and dizzy, and see no hu-

Bad as the prospect is-worthless as the
Union must be to the South, if the North

we still have hope in God, that He will vet

But he, in whose hands are the hearts of all
men, can roll back the cloud-can avert the

and equality. Do christian people pray for
this? What might they not accomplish?
