~ The conflict deepens. The Douglas and
anti Douglas men arc everywhere getting good
ready and will soon be at swords points in one
Of the most bitter and deadly conflicts ever
known. Family qusrrels are always the worst
the most vindictive, sanguinary and cruel. At
st. Louis the Douglasites violently assailed the
friends of Breckenridge and broke up their rati-
2.ation meeting. This viii only add new vigo
70 the Breckenridge party in that State. In Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee and Mary.
land the party will be divided pretty evenly.
with preponderance in favor Of Breckenridge.
The eight vill be one of most intense bitterness.
The chances are that Lincoln will get Missouri
and Bell and Everett the other States. In the
remaining Southern States the Douglas strength
will be about equal to the Breckenridge strength
in tue Northwest The Democratic party will
be pretty evenly divided in New Jersey, Penn
sylyania, Indiana, New York and the New Eng
land States. Being la a minority in all those
States before, . division Of strength of course
makes it impossible for either candidate to carry
a single State. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mich
igan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota Douglas
will get most of the Democratic votes. But still
. good many thousand ballots will be cast for
Breckenridge and Lane As the Republicans
were certain in any event to carry all these
States with the exception Of Illinois, which was
Chased among the doubtful, there can be no risk
in chasing them all rs certain Republican States
California will probably vote for Breckenridge
Oregon for Lincoln. This is our view Of the
SIGHT.
The Republican party is the only one that ID
united-the only one that fairly meets the great
questions Of the day-the only one equal to the
emergency. 1t Is q live, vigorous hopeful party,
and only needs to push forward its columns with
steady determination to achieve complete vic
tory. Nov 10 the time to work.

If a Gala kills man Of his own tribe the
men-slayer must pay fine Of one thousand oxen,
if woman is killed, the penalty is only fifty
oxen, an OK being estimated at from one to two
dollars. As respects the abode of the dead the
Gallas believe that Christians, Mohammedans,
and 0mas go to separate places in the lower
world where each is rewarded by Waka, or
punished BY fire They consider Waka to be
an invisible and beautiful being. It's, however,
difficult to discover the original religious notions
Of the Gallas, as in the neighborhood of Abes-
sinia they have heard many Scriptural concep-
TONS so that laborious inquirer like DR.. Beke
is inclined to consider them degenerate Chris
tians theory to which cannot assent Even
the most degenerate of the Christians of Abessinia
retain baptism and the Lords Supper, religious
services in church and elsewhere, the Holy Scrip
tures, and many ordinances and blessings fOun-
ded on the Bible, all of which are entirely want
ing to the Gallas. DR. Beke bases his opinion on
information received from Gederu Gala, to the
effect that the Gallas are acquainted with the
Abessinian names Of saints, etc, and pay them
great veneration; for instance, Maremma (Alaria),
Balawold (Jesus Christi, Sanbata Sunday, Ke-
dami Saturday, Maddin Saviour of the world,
Selassic 0he Trinity, Girgis Cst George Da5los
(the Devil, who torments the possessed, Sintan
or Setani (Satan) who brings death, disease, and
misfortune, etc, etc The Virgin Mary they call
Wakaiu, the Mother Of God. II is certainly true
the Gallas who live in the neighborhood of
Absssinia are acquainted with these Names at
least with some Of them; but it by no means
follows that we are TO consider the Gallas as
Christians, even of the most degenerate kind
Among the southern or equatorial Gallas there is
no trace Of these names and ideas; at most |
therefore, it can be only the Gallas bordering on
Abessinia who deserve TO be regarded as de-
generate Christians, and not the Gallas in
general

III We Knew.



five knew the cares and crosses
Crowding ronnd our neighbor's way,
five knew the little losses,
Sorely grievous day by day,
Would we then 50 often chide hinf
For his lack ofthria and gain
Leaving on his heart shadow,
Leaving on our lives a stain!
If we knew the clouds above us,
Held by gentle blessings there,
Would we turn away all trembling,
In our blind and deep despair?
Would we shrink from little shadows,
Lying on the dewy grass,
Whilst It's only birds of Eden
just in mercy flying pastl
five knew the silent story
Quivering through the heart of pain,
Would our womanhood dare doom them
Back to haunts of guilt againg
Life hath many tangled crossing;
Joy hath many break Of woe,
And the checks, tear.washed, are whitest,
This the blessed angels know.
Yet us reach in our bosoms
For the key to other lives,
And with love towards erring nature,
Cherish good that still survives;
So that when our disrobed spirits
Soar to realms of light again,
We may say dear father judge us
As we judge our fellow-men.
