Abraham said unto Lot, "let there be
no strife between me and thee, between
my herdmen and thy herdmen, for we be
brethren. Gen. IL, Sth.
If Abraham Lincoln had followed the
advice of our Father Abram, afterward
called Abraham, to Lot, In Genesis Ii
Sth and 9th verses, he would have saved
thousands of lives and millions of money
Bluffs Buge.
The Bugle in this illustration and ex-
ample very clearly indicates its secession
proelvities. 1t regrets that Lincoln did
not permit JEFF. Davis and his fellow con-
spirators to take their own course in peace,
and without opposition after the strife
which resulted in the fail of Sumter. -
And it now holds up Lincoln to public
odum because he would not forswear hun
self, violate his solemn oath of office, and
pusillanimously permit the Government
of the country to be overthrown by trail
tors.
Such position is nothing more nor less
than rank treason and the author of the
above paragraph would make boldly into
the secession ranks but that his natural
proclivities incline him to regard dis
erection the better part of valor' But
the scripture illustration if apt is exceed
ingly unfortunate, for although Abraham
and Lot separated in peace, their descend
ants were the bitterest enemies, and the
direst calamities resulted to both the de.
scendants Of Lot and of Abraham after,
and in consequence of their separation. -
Peace never existed between them, but
bloody wars mark the pages of their his
tory for many centuries, closing at last in
the utter overthrow and determination of
the descendants of Lot. Human nature
must have changed and the lessons of his
tory are all in vain if a separation between
the North and South would not lead to
similar results. The earnest, best, cheap
est peace for all parties is to fight the
matter through now in the Union and set
tie it once for all, and not leave our pos
terity to wage interminable wars with a
neighboring but hostile people, kindred
but enemies, like the descendants of
Abraham and Lot.

all that ue dthon,e and our men IN the army
need to lire. | do not see but we raise as
much with our men away, as we did with
them at home and our women are so fired
with patriotism that some Of us go right
into the field and take the management OF
the slaves. We are thus able to spare all
the men able to bear arms. There is but
one young man left in our town, all the
rest are in the army, and he will be there
soon. The old men are formed into min
ute men and home guards, and will go il
necessary. The Northerners have no one
t. support them when they are away
They must stay at home and take care OF
their families, or they will starve. Though
our white population is much smaller than
yours, yet with the blacks to work for us,
we can keep as many men in the war a.
you can"
That part of the foregoing which is ital-
cised is good text for practical sermon.

important fact. Slaves are important

And changed the gloom TO brightness,
And fingered but to see a smile

The summer air grew golden,
And shook the light in living waves
Der forests new and U.dcn.
The weary smiled while breathing air
Pertumcd at Heavens gateway,
And strengthened from inhaling il
Resumed their toling straightway.
The forest warhlcrS in glad notes
Sang loud the sunbeam's praises;
Yet the rosy fairy fingered not,
But sought out carth'S dark maZes.
And passing near a maidcn's home
Crept through the half closed shutter,
And gnily Ger the wall it danced
With many gcntl" fintter;
1t touched the young girl hcaving breast
And soon its shaft of amber
Was striking through her weary heart,
Seeking its inmost chamber.
1t shone SO brightly through the gloom
That easel her hearts wild throbb ing.
And when it gained an inch Of room
Anil her sighs and sobbing.
Her darkest grief was bathcd in light,
Her weeping changed to smiling,
Her song was clear and low and sweet,
Like the tairy's own beguiling.
And everywhere the sunbeam chased
From each sad heart its shadows
1t covered oceans waves with stars.
With waves of light, the mcsdows.
