THE American people know that the North and
South are mutually dependent upon each other,
Nonc save Aholiionsts and fire eaters desire
dissolution of the Union They constitute but n
cOntcmptible minority OF the whole people. But
If sell-intcrest and patriotism did not fasten to-
gcther the North and tho Sonth as with hooks Of
steel, the numbcrless glorious memories which
cluster around aud warm every American heart,
and like "A halo cncircle the American fag--the
" stars and stripes would OF themselves forever
render dissolution impossible.
True as preaching, General! And If those
glorious memories do not render such a catastro-
phe impossible, the patriotism of the pcopls of
this free and favored Republic will do it. The
people are the power behind the throne; they
don't even worry their heads about any such
foolish proceeding it is a misgivng fostered
only 10y imaginary thirstcrs for blood aud dema-
gogues- political ones in nearly every instance.
There is too much disuni0n trash written and
spoken. now days.

The Rain Concert.
ne Of t;nv rain drons


Millions of tiny rain drops
Are falling all around
They're dancing on the house tops,
They'r hiding in the ground.
They are tairy-like musicians,
With anything for keys;
Beating tunes upon the windows,
Keeping time upon the trees.
\ light and airy treble,
They play upon the stream
And the melody enchants US,
Like The music OF dream.
4 deeper bass is sounding,
When they're dropping into caves
With tenor from the zaphyrs,
Aud an alto from the leaves.
Oh It's II dream of music,
And Robin don't intrudc,'
II, when the rain Is weary,
lie drops an uterludc.
II seems as if the warbling
OF the birds in all the bowers.
Had been gathering into rain drops
Aud was coming down in showers.
